STREET ART

American artist Tom Bob used street “furniture” to create art that interacted with it’s surroundings. From turning a sewer into a frying pan, to transforming gas meters into lobsters, he made New York city a more interesting place.

PHOTOGRAPHING THE NWO

 This is a photo I took in Manners Street, Wellington, that I think captures many aspects of the NWO - with chemtrails in the sky, a masktard & a phonetard, a gay pride building and an old-school bank, yep, it's got it all really.

BACK ON FACEBOOK

 It's the 1st of June today so my month of no blogging, and not posting on Facebook is up!

I must admit, to feed my social media addictions, I did have a quick scroll through my Facebook feed from time to time in May, but didn't do any posts myself.

And I also had a quick look at my other old haunts, but the blockchain platforms Steemit, Hive, Bastyon, and Blurt all show no signs of recovery, and are actually even more deserted and lame than when I previously checked them last year. Blockchains looked like the future of social media around 2017, but they have all proven to be complete failures.

 In fact they now look far worse than the mainstream platforms they were going to replace. Blurt for example looks utterly tragic...

Several friends have been recommending Instagram, so I had another go at using it. Instagram is owned by Facebook, so they could easily make it work more like FB, but it has three big problems that FB doesn't have. None of them are difficult to fix, so I'm sure they have their own devious reasons for leaving it as is.

Firstly it can't be set to show a chronological feed, so you only see what their algorithms want you to see. That pretty much kills any platform for me. 

Secondly, you can't repost other people’s content, and that combined with the lack of active users, makes it a slow moving ghost-town with a boring feed. Yes I realise I'm following over 20x as many people on FB as on Instagram, but I had a look around and was struggling to find interesting content.

Which brings me to the third big problem - a total lack of engagement, most people on Instagram seldom seem to post or comment. They mostly don't even hit like on anything. So it's all as dead as dodo.

I did 52 quick posts, and managed to build up an massive audience of 13 disinterested followers, but no, it really is a pretty hopeless platform, so I wasn't inspired to continue using it.

And then there is X/Twitter. I've never had a good relationship with Twatter, in fact they deleted my original account back in 2015. But because I wanted to see some specific content in 2019 I set up a new account, and by a lucky a fluke called my account "X". But I still didn't like the platform then and have never really used it since. This year I was again wanting to see some specific content so ended up trying it again.

Twitter, like Instagram, also has three big problems, at least it does for me. It too has no chronological feed. Yes it can be set to chronological in the app, but not when viewed in a browser, which is what I want to do. And in the app it's wall to wall advertising. Unless you pay them!

Talking about paying them, they not only want $ to verify your account (lots of $ and they keep going on about it, because Elon Musk is really short of cash) they even want $ just to let you edit your posts.

And the third biggie is that in my opinion the entire platform is a badly designed confusing mess. I can't easily see what I want to see, and I find it totally frustrating to use. It's a complete chaos zone.

So even if some of the people I subscribe to on YouTube say "follow me on X for all my latest posts", I can't be bothered looking at that mess, so when push comes to shove I will just give it all a miss.

FACEBOOK IS THE ONLY ONE FOR ME

All the mainstream social media platforms are deep state mind programming psyops, so if I'm going to be sucked into the enemies mindfuck it had better be a damn good platform.

Which essentially leaves only Facebook, the exact same conclusion I came to last year. At times, particularly NZ 6pm to 9pm, when it's a relatively high portion of real people posting, rather than mostly AI generated crap, my feed is actually pretty entertaining to scroll through.

VIDEOS SUCK

All social media, as well as being designed to program everyone's minds, is also designed to waste as much time as possible. And a key tactic for doing that is to constantly distract everyone with videos. Occasionally one of them is interesting, but the vast majority are just more time wasting distractions.

So from now on, as I'm scrolling down my FB timeline, I'm going to completely ignore all the video posts. I already mostly do that anyway, but I want to consciously make it a habit, to not only not click on them, but to not even look at the posts at all. If it's a video, I’ll simply be scrolling past it as fast as I can.

I'm on FB to see a bunch of good content as rapidly as possible. Videos don't work in with that aim, because they are eating up valuable minutes out of a 15 min FB session, so I'll totally cut them all out.

FACEBOOK CENSORSHIP

Since "President" Trump was selected, FB have backed off their censorship to some extent. Many things that were getting my accounts restricted or suspended in 2024 are now not a problem.

But the censorship is very unpredictable, and from time to time I still get account restrictions, which are generally one month of being unable to use groups. I'm an admin for a couple of groups, and also an active member of several others, so having to switch over to a back up account to use groups for a month is a total pain in the arse.

The sort of content that FB is censoring is not obscenity (that is mostly fine) or even exposing "vaccines" or the Covidhoax (that is no longer a problem, and the AI now doesn't give a toss if you say viruses don't exist or that all vaccines are death jabs), but just try discussing BLACKC0CK, or LARRY PINK, or anything to do with ISRAHELL or the JUICE, and you are playing with fire.

As a work around, from June 1st my Greg Anderson account is going to be fairly well behaved. If in doubt I'll ask Tom Anderson to post any potentially "offensive" content, because Tom doesn't give a toss if he has account restrictions.

ELEVEN DIETARY PRINCIPLES

WISE TRADITIONS 

Are you confused about what to eat? Do you find it difficult to navigate the conflicting claims for different diet plans? Unfortunately, these dietary plans share little with the way healthy humans have eaten for thousands of years.

INTRODUCTION

At the Weston A. Price Foundation, we turn to the pioneering work of Dr. Weston A. Price to answer the question, “What is a healthy diet?” In 1939, Dr. Price published his book Nutrition and Physical Degeneration in which he describes the diets of healthy non-industrialized peoples throughout the world. He studied many groups that had perfect dental health and perfect overall health. He found a wide variety of foods in these diets.

Given the variety of foods in traditional diets, is it possible to come to any conclusions about how to eat? In fact, we can—it is possible to formulate basic principles to guide us through the maze of modern food choices. The Weston A. Price Foundation advocates eleven principles of healthy, traditional diets. A diet based on these principles is called the Wise Traditions Diet.

People can apply these principles to a diet that includes a variety of animal and plant foods, or to a diet that is restricted by what’s available and affordable; or to a diet that requires the elimination of certain foods due to food allergies and sensitivities—or simply to a diet determined by individual preferences.

The Wise Traditions Diet does not dictate specific ratios of macro-nutrients—protein, fat and carbohydrates—nor does it mean we have to eat unfamiliar foods like insects, seal oil or fermented fish. There are modern ways to obtain the nutrients we need using foods that appeal to us—and more importantly, appeal to our children. The Wise Traditions Diet does not eliminate any category of foods—such as meat, grain, fats or dairy products—but rather emphasizes proper preparation techniques which allow most people to include foods in their diet that would otherwise be problematic.

Everything that traditional peoples did with their food resulted in the maximization of nutrients—from their agricultural practices, to their food choices, to their preparation techniques. We can do the same with our modern diets—it just requires care in purchasing our foods and attention to detail when we prepare them. See our chart outlining the differences between traditional diets which maximized nutrients and modern diets which minimized them. Applying these principles to your food choices has many rewards. Many feel more satisfied and healthier eating this way.

#1 – AVOID REFINED AND DENATURED FOOD

The diets of healthy, nonindustrialized peoples contain no refined or denatured foods or ingredients, such as refined sugar or high fructose corn syrup; white flour; canned foods; pasteurized, homogenized, skim or lowfat milk; refined or hydrogenated vegetable oils; protein powders; synthetic vitamins; or toxic additives and artificial colorings.

#2 – INCLUDE ANIMAL FOODS

All traditional cultures consumed some sort of animal food such as fish and shellfish; land and water fowl; land and sea mammals; eggs; milk and milk products; reptiles; and insects. The whole animal is consumed—muscle meat, organs, bones and fat, with the organ meats and fats preferred.

#3 – EMPHASIZE NUTRIENT-DENSE FOODS: ORGAN MEATS, ANIMAL FATS, EGGS, RAW DAIRY, SHELLFISH AND FISH EGGS

The diets of healthy, nonindustrialized peoples contain at least four times the minerals and water-soluble vitamins, and ten times the fat-soluble vitamins found in animal fats (vitamin A, vitamin D and Activator X, now thought to be vitamin K2) as the average American diet.

4 – EAT SOME ANIMAL FOODS RAW; COOK MOST PLANT FOODS

All traditional cultures cooked some or most of their food, especially plant foods like grains and vegetables, but all consumed a portion of their animal foods raw.

5 – ENJOY LACTO-FERMENTED CONDIMENTS AND BEVERAGES

Primitive and traditional diets contain a high content of food enzymes and beneficial bacteria from lacto-fermented vegetables, fruits, beverages, dairy products, meats and condiments.

#6 – PREPARE SEEDS, GRAINS AND NUTS PROPERLY TO MINIMIZE ANTI-NUTRIENTS AND ENHANCE DIGESTIBILITY.

Seeds, grains and nuts are soaked, sprouted, fermented or naturally leavened to neutralize naturally occurring anti-nutrients such as enzyme inhibitors, tannins and phytic acid.

#7 – ENJOY SATURATED FATS; AVOID INDUSTRIAL SEED OILS.

Total fat content of traditional diets varies from 30 percent to 80 percent of calories but only about 4 percent of calories come from poly- unsaturated oils naturally occurring in grains, legumes, nuts, fish, animal fats and vegetables. The balance of fat calories is in the form of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids.

#8 – CONSUME ANIMAL FOODS FROM LAND AND SEA TO BALANCE OMEGA–6 AND OMEGA–3

Traditional diets contain nearly equal amounts of omega-6 and omega-3 essential fatty acids. Modern diets based on industrial seed oils can contain almost 20 times more omega-6 than omega-3, because industrial seed oils contain very high amounts of omega-6.

#9 – USE UNREFINED SALT LIBERALLY

All traditional diets contain salt.

#10 – INCLUDE GELATINOUS BONE BROTH IN SOUPS, STEWS, GRAVY AND SAUCES

All traditional cultures make use of animal bones, usually in the form of gelatin-rich bone broths.

#11 – EMPHASIZE NUTRIENT-DENSE FOODS BEFORE AND DURING PREGNANCY, AND FOR GROWING BABIES

Traditional cultures make provisions for the health of future generations by providing special nutrient-rich animal foods for parents- to-be, pregnant women and growing children; by adequate spacing of children; and by teaching the principles of right diet to the young.

 

NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO WORRY

Many years ago one of my friends decided to top himself with a drug overdose at the ripe old age of 23

After his funeral I rode my mountain bike up to the top of a local hill and sat looking out over the view. Strangely a voice in my head seemed to say “don’t worry about it, there’s no point worrying about anything – what is done is done”

I felt like a huge burden had just been lifted and his death had one good side effect. Downhill racing was a new sport back then but I was fully into it, so I let rip, with no worries whatsoever and had a very fast clean run back down the hill.

Later on when I first started blogging on the Steemit blockchain, I did a post about not worrying. It was probably one of my better posts, but it only got six votes and earned me zero cents. From that point every time I heard anyone bleating about how shit their payout was, I just thought “don’t worry about it”

I guess, if we are lucky, one day we arrive at a point when we realise a lot of our friends are long gone, as our many of our heroes. Or maybe most of them…

And these days if I find myself living with a daily dose of pain from all the injuries I wasn’t worried about getting back then, there is no point worrying about that either. I know what the alternative is…

Something I never used to do was mention personal stuff like voices in my head. But a voice in my head just said “repost that worry post again, and don’t fucking worry about any of this New World Order shit – you are not here to worry”

So here is an updated version of my post from August 2016:

IT’S BEYOND OUR CONTROL

https://steemit.com/steemit/@sift666/it-s-beyond-our-control

“Whatever is going to happen will happen, whether we worry or not” – is an excellent quote from Ana Monnar

The wisdom inherent in that saying is vast. People are endlessly addicted to worrying – from my mother to about half of everyone who posts anything on the internet. Self help gurus like Louise Hay are constantly saying that what you think about and focus on become your reality. And Carl Jung once said “What you resist persists”. There are many variations of the basic premise that what you focus on, you get more of.

Now the whole process seems to have accelerated, and it’s like watching life at hyper speed. I’m watching people posting about corruption, censorship, oppression, incompetence, dire future predictions, and daunting realisations. And I’ve long been drawn to all that stuff myself. But it’s essentially all beyond my control.

Sometimes I’d like to read more posts full of wisdom, hope, positive predictions, and ground breaking new ideas. Something Louise Hay always said was “the only thing we are ever dealing with is a thought, and a thought can be changed” – or as Bobby McFerrin once sang, “don’t worry, be happy”

I’m not writing this from a background of being a happy go lucky, glass half full, positive sort of guy. I’m writing it from a history of being a “conspiracy theorist” since well before 911, who has been calling “bullshit” since I first learnt the words “bull” and “shit” and grasped that it was possible to connect words together without hyphens.

Now I could go on about end of the world bullshit until the cows come home, and I often do, but it doesn’t do me much good.

The whole “it’s the end of the world and everything is buggered” mindset is just a big black hole. Really, it’s all a giant collection of monsters under the bed, designed to keep people in a state of fear and worry. But there is a good side to this stuff too. As I’ve written on the odd web page or two, there is no “global warming” or “climate change”, oil is abiotic, it’s not a fossil fuel, so is in no danger of ever running out, there are no “nuclear bombs” (they are entirely a fabrication) and mankind as a whole currently enjoys the highest overall standard of living (lifespan, education, income and all sorts of other cool stuff) of any time in human history.

Maybe (just maybe at this point, because I don’t quite take to this idea like a duck to water just yet) the idea that we are on the brink of giant, and permanent, financial and social apocalypse is not fixed in stone, it’s just one of the options. Either way, worrying about it is not going to prevent any collapse, so it going to do any of us any good. I follow a range of podcasters online such as Jeff Berwick’s (dollarvigilante) and I certainly take into account what they are saying. But let’s face it, I’m not going to flee to Mexico (I live in New Zealand) and if whatever I choose to focus on makes that possible future more likely, I’d be better off to focus on what I want rather that what all the fudporn is saying. Admittedly the fudporn does look pretty accurate, but the globalists are hand feeding it to us so it probably isn’t helpful.

So here is my thought for the day, and it’s very new one for me – what if the “coming apocalypse” is no more real than “global warming”?
