TIME TRAVEL

 If you could time travel which year would you choose to live in? We can’t impartially assess this present time (2024), but it all feels like a massive psyop to me – I wouldn’t rather live in 1914, but I sometimes think I’d rather live in 1994. Yet we have no benefit of hindsight, & things may yet turn out OK.

I'VE ADDED AN ABOUT PAGE TO THIS BLOG

 And it even includes a contact email!

ABOUT

 Using the internet while displaying any sort of real identity online is a bit like walking down the street stark naked. I'd rather be completely anon, but I've been online for more than a quarter of a century and have revealed more than I can ever really take back now. But that is not to say I have to make things easy for "them" (the "government", or the deep state, or spammers, or stalkers) to track me down.

Until last week this blog has never had any sort of contact details on it, and I was going to leave it that way. But one of the other blogs I follow had added a link to my old www.frot.co.nz blog, which didn't work because of a typo. Being a bit of a completionist I wanted to let them know, but it was difficult to find a contact email on their blog. Eventually I did find a contact and emailed them.

Engagement used to be a big part of blogging, and back when I was posting on blockchains like Steemit, Hive (PeakD), Blurt, Flote, and Bastyon, I used to sometimes get hundreds of comments and I tried to reply to most of them.  These days I have all comments turned off and pretty much just ignore everyone. But the experience of trying to find a contact email on someone elses's blog made me grudgingly admit that it might be a good thing to include a one on this blog.

I've had a lot of problems with spam in the past so don't want to include an actual link, but I figure if I just put an image of an email address that comes to me (but not my daily driver) that should do the job. So here it is - just type out the address in this image:

SESSION vs SIGNAL

 

Signal is a popular messaging app that is widely regarded as being private, and compared to Messenger it is, but the big issue, the main reason it can never really be a privacy app, is that it requires a phone number to set up an account.

 

An alternative to Signal is Session, which is in many ways very similar to Signal, in fact it nearly looks identical because it's an open source hard fork based on the Signal code. But the big difference is that it doesn't require a phone number, so a Session account can actually be anonymous.

 

Session is not as popular as Signal yet because it's fairly new and not many people have heard of it. But it's easier to set up an account on Session than it is on Signal.  It doesn't require a phone number, and it doesn't ask anything about you. 

 

A new account can be rapidly set up not just on a phone, but also using a Laptop, a PC, or a tablet, running Windows, Android, Mac, or Linux operating systems.

To install it you can get it from any of the app stores, but better yet go directly to the Session website. This is preferable because by not logging into an app store you remain anonymous - https://getsession.org/

 

Initially Session had several drawbacks, but these have now been addressed.

 

It previously had a size limit of 10 on encrypted groups, but that has now been increased to 100 which is hopefully enough for most groups. 

 

It was originally set up in Australia which is considered a major security risk (as is NZ) but they have now moved to Switzerland - https://getsession.org/blog/introducing-the-session-technology-foundation 

 

And Session also had a reputation for being buggy in 2023 when it was new, but it seems to have really improved in the past six months. I have had no problems with it so far, and in fact have found it works better for me than Signal, because I can be logged in with multiple Android devices with no account conflicts. 

 

The only issue I've had is that it won't install on Windows 7, which is only an issue for around 3% of desktop users these days, and I was expecting that to be the case anyway because it's based on Signal and Signal won't install on Win 7 either. But I've found it works really well on both Linux and Android.

 

YOUR ACCOUNT ID

 

There is really only one new thing to keep in mind when using Session - because unlike Signal it is not using your phone number or the phone numbers of your contacts, to set up the initial link you have to exchange your account ID for the first contact. This is the minor inconvenience that allows the whole platform to be totally private.

 

The account ID is a 72 character code that will look similar to this one (this is not an actual code but just an example):
  06b2451d1bc973a57021bf76f353306c7sfc7ec891eb29ef4997bd82473300e00b

 

Your account ID is not high security and it's OK to give that out to everyone you want to contact. You also get a recovery code which is a random generated series of 13 words, and that on the other hand needs to be kept private. Keep that code secure and don't share it with anyone.

Who is behind Session?

Session is part of the Loki Foundation, a non-profit organization without a permanent seat. The CEO is Simon Harman. Even though the project is not profit-oriented, he wants to monetize Session. Parts of the infrastructure are based on a block-chain network that mines its own currency, $LOKI.

The network provides important infrastructure for anonymizing its users, including an onion router to hide your IP address. Neither your counterpart nor the Loki Foundation can determine your location.

So if a state were to obtain a court order to inspect the session servers, investigators would find nothing but meaningless session IDs and TOR-IP addresses. None of this information would allow us to draw clear conclusions about the identity of the messenger app's users.

Privacy features of Session

    Users can generate a Session ID with a private key to start an account

    Session doesn’t require phone numbers.

 

    The chat platform doesn’t collect any data, and therefore a data breach is impossible.

 

    Messages go through an onion routing network, removing traceability.

    Session is an open-source program, so you can verify everything.

 

    It’s censorship resistant thanks to its decentralized network, therefore also harder to shut down

 

REVIEWS

 

Here is a good review of Session on the Restore Privacy website. It answers a lot of questions, but keep in mind that it was written in April 2024, and  the concerns about Australian privacy are no longer an issue - https://restoreprivacy.com/secure-encrypted-messaging-apps/session/

 

 

I have found Rob Braxman's Youtube channel really helpful for learning about privacy. Here is his video about Session, which he recommends highly.

HOW DEBT IS CREATED

THE NZ ACC HAS NOW PAID OUT $11,429,594 FOR COVID VACCINE INJURY...
(New OIA Gov: 035284)
Compare this with the less than $150,000 paid out for ALL VACCINE INJURY (excluding Covid) each year, in 2018 and 2019
It's the NZ taxpayers footing this bill, while Phizer has complete INDEMNITY

THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO SAY!

Every once in a while a Miles Mathis essay totally nails it. This essay posted after the American fake election results were announced, includes all the things I wanted to say. It's all in there and I couldn't agree more with all of it! (I don't often say that...) great stuff!

https://mileswmathis.com/trumpy.pdf

 One of my favourite points is that the deep state ended up having to boost Kamala's vote count to give the illusion of a close fought election when in fact they had overplayed their hand and made a tactical error in nearly destroying what little credibility the demorats have left - that weakens the deep state position, because they need to maintain the illusion of having two parties. Trump winning was no surprise, but announcing it this quickly surprised me. I think they were panicking a bit and wanted to get this part of the circus show finished as quickly as possible before people started looking at the obviously manipulated figures

"We are expected to believe Harris won 47% of the popular vote, but I for one don't believe it. After the most disastrous four years in any of our lifetimes, even a qualified and charismatic candidate couldn't have won a third of the popular vote from the blue side. 

 

Harris, who didn't win any primaries and hardly campaigned, may be the least qualified and least charismatic candidate ever put forward by either party, making Dan Quayle and George Bush II look relatively brilliant in comparison. But she wasn't just weighed down by her own inability to speak or make sense, she was weighed down by a party platform that was clearly a big joke inserted from Langley. 

 

I can just see the writers sitting around a huge mahogany table smoking cigars, trying to one-up eachother with the craziest stuff they could come up with. Drag-queen story hours? Tranny promotion 24/7? Post-birth abortions/infanticides? Forced vaccinations? Holy wars in Israel and Ukraine? Institutionalized censorship and repealing the First Amendment? Repealing the Second Amendment? Repealing the Fourth Amendment? Packing the Supreme Court? Open borders? Men in women's sports? Reverse sexism and racism at top volume, with white men being attacked all the livelong day just for being born? Civil War reparations 155 years after the fact? January 6 is worse than 911 and Pearl Harbor? And they might as well have had rampant inflation and food shortages on their platform, since their policies had created that as well. 

 

Given all that, any sane person should find it amazing Harris got even
one vote, if she did"

 

The circus show:

 

 

DISC BRAKES

 Cyclists these days seem to think disc brakes are essential. I was looking through some of my old photos recently and found this one - Over the years I had more than 50 bikes of my own and test rode at least 1500 different bikes - probably a lot more (I owned a bike shop and test riding repaired bikes was one of my regular jobs)

But I only ever owned one with disc brakes - a 97 Diamondback X2 which I rebuilt with upgraded parts - it had top of the line Hope brakes that were selling for crazy $ back in the 90's - they started out retailing for NZ$2700 for a pair, and got gradually cheaper, but I bought all the gear on this bike fairly cheap - the complete bike cost about NZ$3k all up when I built it up in 97.

Truth is I always preferred old school hard tails and wished they had a downhill race class for them - I was never really any faster on full suspension - and this bike felt too heavy for my tastes, as did all full suspension bikes.

THE FAKE ELECTION

I'm stunned how many people are being swept along with the fake US election - the betting odds are likely to be more accurate than the fake polls and fake vote count, but it all comes down to whether the globalist tactic now is to back the pressure off for a while, in which case they will install puppet trump, or to create a civil war in which case they will install the cackling witch - but either way the globalists are running America. 

I fully expect trump to "win" but it won't be because of votes. If they actually counted votes I think he would get about 80% of them, not because he is any good but because his opposition is deliberately chosen to be mind blowingly bad. This is all like WWF, a circus.
