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.

WHY I LIKE ODYSEE

This recent announcement was really good to see, and another reason why I'm a fan of the Odysee platform:
 

Dear friends of Odysee,

Starting today, we're removing all ads.

We don't need ads to make money as a platform and we are confident in the development of our own new monetisation programs that will help creators earn a living and at the same time keep Odysee alive.

Ultimately, sacrificing the overall user experience to make a few bucks isn't worth it to us and nor is it even sustainable for a platform that wishes to make something truly open and creatively free.

As we take this decision, one thing is certain to us, media platforms (even ones that market themselves as 'free-speech') typically devolve into advertising companies and end up becoming beholden to their paymasters. It's been that way for centuries and is never going to change.

As we see YouTube become more aggressive with their ad deployment and 'Free Speech' platforms try to build their own ad businesses it's apparent to us that we're building a model for Odysee that will keep it sustainable not only financially, but in its ability to provide an incorruptible user experience.

Our approach may be considered niche or unconventional, that's fine by us. Odysee will be used by the world on terms that are agreeable to its users, and we know our users don't like ads.

Best,
Founder & Creator, Chief Executive Officer.
Julian Chandra

ODYSEE SPANKS YOUTUBE

Odysee has been around since 2020 and has has really taken off as an alternative to YouTube. It is decentralized and uncensored, so during the covidhoax it had all the videos exposing the death jabs that YouTube was censoring.

It feels like a genuine free speech platform, with all sorts of interesting content, rather than a bunch of globalist approved mind programing and distractions. Many of the best content creators, who were censored by YouTube, are now posting all their podcasts on Odysee.

https://odysee.com/


Two of the most on to it medical doctors in the world are Dr Tom Cowan and New Zealand's own Dr Sam Bailey.

 They both also have channels on Odysee with lots of great content.

PUNCH AND JUDY ARE PUPPETS

At the start of Trump's previous term I did this post on the Steemit blockchain. Although I now have no idea what some of the points I was referring to were (such as balloons full of piss, & Dodge Challengers), overall, in some ways it's even more relevant now than it was back then.

Trump-Israel.jpg 

Like many puppets, Punch & Judy are controlled by hands up their arses. They are grotesque, ugly, and violent puppets who appear to hate each other.

They like nothing more than to have squawking arguments and beat each other over the head with bats. But make no mistake, they both have the hands of the same puppet master up their arses.

The Punch and Judy show is a long running English tradition (350 years), and like much of the English entertainment industry it is aimed at children and intended to make them grow up as better people.

Many people realise that Punch and Judy are puppets, but puppet shows can also come in many other shapes and colours. Most puppets have smaller noses than Punch and Judy, but some still like to squawk and hit each other over the heads with bats.

Or balloons full of piss, or Dodge Challengers…

If people engage in arguments about who is right, Punch or Judy, are they any different to Punch and Judy themselves? Because just like Punch and Judy, they have a hand up their arse controlling what they are doing.

One of the favourite tools of magicians is to trick their audience by distracting them. While the attention of an audience is focused on one thing, they are not looking at the more important thing. And modern puppet shows serve a similar purpose.

Some people who haven’t even realised that they are watching a puppet show are freaking out because one person who liked to hang out with morons who squawk and throw piss at people, was allegedly killed.

Meanwhile they haven’t noticed that that the very same puppet masters have also killed tens of thousands of people in Palestine. Or that they are using American tax payer money to buy the tanks and bombs to carry out that genocide.

Distraction is a very useful tool, and when you own a countries entire entertainment industry, along with the entire “news” industry, there is quite a bit of scope to create a few distractions.

Possibly, rather that having long discussions about who was driving that Dodge Challenger, it might be more important to discuss who is paying for all the tanks that are murdering people in Palestine.

Or maybe why America has the biggest debt in the history of civilization. And who does America actually “owe” all that money to.

And maybe the real reason the psychopath puppet master George Soros just funded a riot is because it was his birthday, and turning America into a divided nation of debt ridden slaves is a really cool plan… (Sorearse and Chump get along a lot like Punch and Judy)

SCROTUM SELF REPAIR

 

Back in 1993 I printed this story out and put it up in a shop window where it attracted a crowd of people who stood there in the street reading it! Ten years on I used it again in one of my first blog posts, and since then it has become a strange ritual that each time I start a new blog, I add this story, because it just wouldn't feel like a real blog without including it. This still cracks me up.

AN UNUSUAL CASE – by William A. Morton, Jr, MD (From an actual medical journal)

One morning I was called to the emergency room by the head ER nurse. She directed me to a patient who had refused to describe his problem other than to say that he “needed a doctor who took care of men’s troubles.” The patient, about 40, was pale. febrile, and obviously uncomfortable, and had little to say as he gingerly opened his trousers to expose a bit of angry red and black-and-blue scrotal skin. After I asked the nurse to leave us, the patient permitted me to remove his trousers, shorts, and two or three yards of foul-smelling stained gauze wrapped around his scrotum, which was swollen to twice the size of a grapefruit and extremely tender.

A jagged zig-zag laceration, oozing pus and blood, extended down the left scrotum. Amid the matted hair, edematous skin, and various exudates, I saw some half-buried dark linear objects and asked the patient what they were. Several days earlier, he replied, he had injured himself in the machine shop where he worked and had closed the laceration himself with a heavy duty stapling gun. The dark objects were one-inch staples of the type used in putting up wallboard. We x-rayed the patient’s scrotum to locate the staples; admitted him to the hospital; and gave him tetanus antitoxin, broad-spectrum antibacterial therapy, and hexaclorophrene sitz baths prior to surgery the next morning.

The procedure consisted of exploration and debridement of the left side of the scrotal pouch. Eight rusty staples were retrieved, and the skin edges were trimmed and freshened. The left testis had been avulsed and was missing. The stump of the spermatie cord was recovered at the inguinal canal, debrided, and the vessels lifated properly, though not much of a hematoma was present. Through-and-through Penrose drains were sutured loosely in site, and the skin was loosely closed. Convalescence was uneventful, and before his release from the hospital a week later, the patient confided the rest of his tory to me.

An unmarried loner, he usually didn’t leave the machine shop at lunchtime with his coworkers. Finding himself alone, he began the regular practice of masturbating by holding his penis against the canvas drive-belt of a large floor-based piece of running machinery. One day, as he approached orgasm, he lost his concentration and leaned too close to the belt. When his scrotum suddenly became caught between the pulley-wheel and the drive-belt, he was thrown into the air and landed a few feet away. Unaware that he had lost his left testis, and perhaps too stunned to feel much pain, he stapled the wound close and resumed his work. I can only assume he abandoned this method of self-gratification.

MUPPET SHOW REMAKE

Is 2025 a remake of the Muppet Show?

The original Muppet Show wasn't a psyop (at least I don't think it was, although Miss Piggy may have had a secret agenda), it was a puppet show that had much in common with the current American circus show. 

 The Muppet Show was known for its uniquely designed characters, burlesque nature, slapstick, sometimes absurdist and surreal humour, and parodies. Kermit the Frog (performed by Donald Trump) acted as showrunner and host, who tried to maintain control of the overwhelming antics of the other Muppet characters, as well as appeasing the rotating slate of guest stars. As The Muppet Show became popular, many celebrities were eager to perform with the Muppets on television.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Muppet_Show 

We are only three weeks into the new year, and already the ongoing psyops have all been ramped up to new levels, while an entire collection of new characters and story lines have already been introduced for this season.

REVISITING THE BEATLES

As a music fan and a “conspiracy theorist” I've long been conflicted about The Beatles. Maybe part of what keeps pulling me back to look at them is that I know I have never fully understood this story, but I suspect that it ties into almost every deep state cover up for the past 60 years.

And another aspect is that despite living on the opposite side of the globe (I’m not a flat earther), my mother was from Liverpool, and I spent some time there staying with relatives as a child. People I spoke to who lived there in the early 60’s never saw or heard of them back then, and were stunned when they became “bigger than Jesus” all around the world.

On the one hand I think they performed some of the greatest pop songs ever written. They have influenced most of my favourite bands – everyone from Split Enz to Joy Division. But my favourite Beatles track, “Rain” was never even on an album…

On the other hand I hate some of their music as much as any music I’ve ever heard. For example, I think the album “Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heart’s Club Band” is horrible – really creepy. And that is just based on the music, let alone the fact that it’s filled with satanic and deep state references from the cover to the final track.

image.png

They put out all sorts of amazing and really advanced music, but as soon as you start delving into the rabbit hole that is The Beatles, the cover ups and mismatched stories are endless.

image.png

There are so many conflicting theories it’s hard to know where to start. But here are three things I am fairly certain of. There was more than one person playing the role of “Paul McCartney”, they did not write nor play all the music that is credited to them, and John Lennon was not assassinated in 1980.
