THE MARTIAN ANAL DIVISION

In times gone by, we used to read fiction to explore imaginary realities. Now we live in a reality so bizarre even Philip K Dick probably would have needed to up his drug intake to deal with it...

I once read a short story by Philip K Dick. It was called “The Martian Anal Division”, and it was about a parallel version of our world in which everything was run by and for the benefit of small but cunning Martian invaders.

“They live in tiny spaceships which they insert into their subjects anal passages. From deep within human anuses they emit their instructions, which their followers hear as a voice in their anus telling them what to do. These people are known as the Martian Anal Division (MAD).

One of the key symptoms of people who are controlled by Martians up their arses is that they not only want to do what the Martians tell them to, but that they also want to force everyone else to do it as well. They often revert to the phrase “for the greater good”, and want to bring in “laws” in the hope that they can force other people to “conform” to the wishes of the voices in their arses.

In an attempt to get a better handle on controlling the non-MAD population, they introduce social engineering such as water fluoridation (make the population sick and obedient), vaccinations (make them sick and infertile), fear of “terrorism” (submit to more laws and surveillance), fear of viruses, fear of various “global apocalypses” (submit to more restrictions and taxes), and wars (the ultimate control system)

They also direct everyone with an anal implant to watch more TV, where they can obsess over misinformation called “news”, listen to angry black men making guttural rhyming noises about hoes, yos, and bros, become jealous over the size of the breast implants of women who sing the things that the voices in their arses are saying, and enjoy watching stocky men in tight shorts battling each other over leather balls.

Luckily, for all their cunning, the Martians have some serious flaws in their evil plan. When they insert their micro spacecraft into their victim’s anal passages, it tends to block their elimination of waste matter. So their victims slowly fill up with shit.

Already pressurized to bursting point, when they are confronted by people who refuse to conform, they start to turn purple and run around in circles making squawking noises like a chicken having an epileptic fit. Sometimes the backed up gasses start to escape from their arse like a loud rumbling fart, while sometimes they just blow up like an American false flag terrorists bomb”

EXTINCT MOTORBIKES

HAVE MOTORBIKES BECOME EXTINCT – LIKE FAX MACHINES?

THE SAD DEMISE OF MOTORCYCLES

Does anyone still ride motorbikes, or are they just an old timers fantasy, like knights in amour or horses and carts?

As a teenager I was obsessed with motorbikes, and as well as using them to get around I used to race motor-cross as well. Motorbikes are awesome.

But the New Zealand government decided that like marijuana, and cures for cancer, motorbikes needed to be outlawed out of existence.

They did it by making it so expensive to register a motorbike that nobody would be left who could afford to do it.

Cars are fairly economical in NZ, because we are a right hand drive country (like England and Australia), but we have no car industry that government needs to protect (unlike England and Australia), so we get all the second hand cars from right hand drive Japan shipped over here and sold nice and cheap.

Back in the old days, it used to be about the same cost for the annual registration on both motorbikes and cars. But in more recent years, motorbikes have gone up. A LOT! Now the annual registration for motorbikes is $586 (so motorcyclists mostly just gave up and bought cars).

Yes, in NZ it costs more to register a motorbike each year than it does to buy a cheap Japanese car.

Like an intrepid African lion hunter, I went exploring the streets in search of retro two wheeled iron horses – do any still exist?

A few still do, but we are not talking regular A to B transport here – anyone paying $586 a year for a number plate wants two wheeled exotica!

Here are 10 styling motorbikes that got tangled up with my camera:

I Sift, therefore I am sifty Sifting can potentially cultivate a much more aware state of mind than, say, mindless consuming and generalised believing. Hidden underneath all the worthless misinformation that flows freely out to us everyday, are some rare gems of truth. But you have to sift for them. Sifting about on the net, I’ve found myself drawn to some seemingly diverse subjects such as nutrition, health, marijuana, hemp, consumerism, capitalism, chaos theory, organics, censorship, drugs, doctors, warez, hacking, advertising, corporations, chemicals, GE, computers, free trade, and of course the USA and it’s uncontrolled world domination fetish. That’s a wide range of subjects and I’m too lazy to get into all of it, so a lot of the stuff on this site relates to health issues, as lately I’ve been spending a lot of my time working on my health, and researching diet and nutrition, But the thing I have found repeatedly, is that once you start digging around, everything starts to follow a similar pattern. Basically, it seems that if something is widely reported, it is probably false, whether it’s about healthy food, or terrorist attacks. The way these things tend to interlink, and the patterns they each repeat, open up a clearer way of looking at things. An alternative perspective, distilled through sifting. A bigger picture. There are many people on the Internet who are trying to distribute quality information. But most punters are not ready or willing to even consider it – they are too thoroughly indoctrinated. So it stays submerged. One of my friends responded to this site with “I just maintain a state of apathetic cynicism and avoid thinking about all this stuff” And that’s a reasonable reaction, there’s no point getting stressed about it all. But on the other hand, we are getting shafted and lied to so frequently that it’s hard to just ignore it. And I think that right now there are enough people becoming aware of what’s going on to start fighting back. Knowledge is power. For example, if enough people are aware of the real reasons that America attacked Iraq, or of America’s history of world domination and how taking over Iraq fits into that, or that the “war on terrorism”, like the “war on drugs” is a complete scam, intended only to increase America’s power, then maybe that will help to make the actions of the US backfire on them. Every aware person is only a drop in the ocean, but every drop can help dilute the tide of oppression that’s coming from the likes of the US government, and the overbearing evil of multinationals such as Monsanto. The Internet is still a place where the individual can fight back. Let’s keep it that way. As I find interesting new stuff, I’ll post some bits of it along the way, and make a sort of documented sifting scrapbook. Siftings from the sifterhood. As a rough guide, the text in red is generally stuff I have slapped together myself, while the blue text is stuff I have shamelessly ripped off wholesale from other sites and books, with as little editing as possible. I am a firm believer in the motto “information wants to be free” Once something is posted on the net it’s like tossing a bottle in the sea – who knows where it will end up… So feel free to recycle anything on this site – if it’s in red it may even be original and a credit to www.sift.co.nz would be much appreciated. Wherever possible I have left in credits for the sources of all the material I have ripped off, and that to me is cool – I realise not everyone agrees with that, but as I am trying to show on this website, there are generally two sides to most arguments. (And the other side are generally a bunch of idiots!) Much of this site contains personal opinion. But I believe the factual content is accurate. If you have clear evidence that would dispute or add to any of the statements on this site, feel free to send it to me. I have just added a feedback page for responses to the site. The most popular page on this site has been the Coca-Cola one. It’s my theory that is was getting the most hits because I had put the link to it as “coke”. That’s now been changed to Coca-Cola, so if it becomes less popular, I’ll take it as a sign that people really want to read about drugs. That they want to read about Colombian drug dealers hoovering up mountains of coke off glass top tables in expensive nightclubs. Maybe they want to look at porn and read about coke. There’s certainly some good sifting material in those subjects, so who knows… People keep paying me to do stuff for them. It takes time and interferes with my sifting. Sometimes it’s a problem. Sometimes I just sift anyway, and things I was going to do remain undone. This site still hasn’t got much stuff on it yet…. But it’s on my list. It’s number 186. I’ll be back.

MORE SUNDAY LOLS

Here are another dozen LOLPICS I've shared online this week:
 

 

GOVERNMENT RETARDS

Growing up in a conservative Wellington commuter suburb where every second person either worked for the government or had parents that did, I didn’t realise back then just how indoctrinated government employees actually are.
 

Wellington is a beautiful city, but it’s being completely mismanaged and is gradually falling to bits and going bankrupt. I have to say that over the past five years I’ve come to regard the population of Wellington as being among the stupidest people in New Zealand. Particularly the government employees. 

Not all, but the vast majority. Whatever utter crap they are told, they just seem to witlessly believe it.

SOME RUSSIAN DUDE

 Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821–1881) was a Russian novelist, philosopher, and essayist, widely regarded as one of the greatest writers in world literature. His works explore the depths of human psychology, morality, and faith amid the turbulent social and political changes of 19th-century Russia. Arrested for his involvement in a political group, he spent years in a Siberian prison camp — an experience that profoundly shaped his worldview and writing. 

Dostoevsky’s most famous novels, including Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, Demons, and The Brothers Karamazov, delve into themes of guilt, redemption, free will, and the search for meaning in suffering. His profound insights into the human soul influenced countless writers, philosophers, and psychologists.

"People do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility. They prefer to live under someone else’s idea of truth, to obey rather than think, to blame rather than act. The real battle is not between good and evil, but between cowardice and courage — between those who dare to think for themselves and those who choose the comfort of chains." — Fyodor

 

 

TUCKER GATEKEEPER

 For some reason a lot of people seem to believe Tucker Carlson is sharing the truth with them. No, it doesn't work like that... He is a gatekeeper.

Triple 6 - The 666 hand sign

The sign is made by touching your thumb with your index finger making a circle. The other fingers follow the index’s shape thus forming the tail of two 6s.

    “Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.”

Tucker Carlson does this a lot, but all influencers - watch their hands - they nearly all make hand signs - in 2025 it tends to particularly be the Triple 6 sign - quick & subtle, but constantly repeated.

MY INNER PARROT

Sometimes people talk about their inner guides, as if they are delicate soft spoken little wallflowers, hard to even hear, let alone to understand what they are trying to say.

Five days ago I woke up with a voice like an angry parrot in my head, telling me to get my arse off the internet.

I made a pretty solid compromise and decided to cut my internet time back to a maximum of one hour each day, and I have indeed been doing that. But each evening as I fire up my countdown timer to time my daily internet time, it seems like quite a rush to get the basics done.

I was half expecting my inner parrot to say something like “It’s OK to use the internet for longer if you have a specific reason, as long as you don’t waste time surfing”.

But no, today my inner parrot is saying “One hour is more than enough, cut back all the crap you are doing". I have already cut out most of the crap, but I can’t argue with my inner parrot. I suspect any blog posts I do will not be long winded epic masterpieces (I’m already writing them offline, but don’t have much spare time to post them).

It’s not always this clear, but whatever sense of intuition I have really seems to have had enough of the internet at the moment.
