TOTALLY INSANE

The almost constant use of the word "INSANE", particularly by Americans is getting insane...

On sites like YouTube every second video seems to have the word insane in the title.

This is how social programming often works. What is the effect on an already unhinged population of constantly referring to everything as INSANE?

It is highly unlikely to make people more calm, rational, thoughtful, calculating, logical, balanced, intelligent or well researched is it?

But make them more susceptible to submitting to globalist control? Yeah, that could work... 

BRAVE SEARCH

The brave search engine was recommended to me so I gave it a quick test - is it any good? - no, it's utter crap like all the others - they are all providing only selected approved content, it just depends who's AI is doing the approving. 

I do use the Brave browser as my default internet browser, and it's pretty good. I'd actually rather have Floorp, the Japanese Firefox privacy fork as my default, but sometimes I find a Chromium based browser works better, so I tend to swap back and forth between Brave and Floorp, leaving both browsers open all day.

 

But honestly, I gave the Brave search engine a few tries, thought it was hopeless, and soon went back to swapping between Yandex and DuckDuckGo. They are both far from perfect, but I've come to think that there is no such thing a one size fits all search engine, just avoid Google like the plague!.

Here is an example - trying out DuckDuckGo, vs Brave, vs Yandax, by asking if "Michelle Obama" is a transvestite. Obviously he is, because Michael Robinson is a man, so search censorship doesn't get much more blatant than this example.

 

 DuckDuckGo is my basic go to search engine in most browsers - it's there ready to go, it's better than the appalling Google, and it sort of works. But showing it here displaying propaganda from "Snopes" as it's first answer reveals what utter crap DuckDuckGo actually is.

 

Next, how did Brave compare? It's even more useless, just coming up with a moronic AI approved narrative response and showing itself to a complete waste of space.

 

As expected Yandex was far more helpful, it included lots of pictures of Michael Robinson's cock sticking out the front of his dress, and didn't try to brush this huge white elephant under the carpet. 

Yandex is generally a far better search engine for finding any non approved content, as long as it doesn't involve secrets about Russia! 

 

BAFFLING

 If the people who pushed "vaccinations" during the covidhoax were now regularly dropping dead from heart attacks, or dying slowly from cancer, would anyone notice or make the connection?

Nigel Latta died of cancer two days ago, aged 58. Throughout the covidhoax he was pushing the death jabs heavily on TV. "Doctors" will undoubtedly be baffled as to why injecting poisons into anyone would lead to cancer, so won't make any connections here... 

 
"Psychologist Nigel Latta has weighed in on the psychology behind the anti-vaccination campaign as a measles outbreak takes hold in Christchurch. Parents of unvaccinated children are being urged to keep them out of school, so they don't spread the disease.
 
TVNZ1's Seven Sharp asked Latta why do people jump on board the anti-vax hysteria?
"If it was just about facts everyone would vaccinate their children, because if your child catches measles they have a one in 1000 chance of dying from it.
"However, if they have a vaccine there is a one in one million chance of having a serious reaction to the vaccine and dying," Mr Latta said.

He then went on to say the anti-vaxers are good at creating "fear" on social media and normally rationale people buy into the idea. 

 

"Our brains have an emotional reaction to stuff first, and people will say it either feels right or I don't have a good feeling about vaccinations. 

 

"It shouldn't be about feelings it should be about the numbers, the numbers overwhelmingly say that you should vaccinate your children," Mr Latta said. 

 

On the situation in Christchurch, Latta says there are people putting their own children and others at risk by not getting their kids vaccinated and letting them go to school.

He likened anti-vax campaigners to being as legitimate as those at the Flat Earth Society.

Fourteen thousand does of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine are now being distributed to Christchurch general practices as the number of confirmed cases of measles has risen to 28 nearly three weeks after the outbreak began."

HAPPY NEW MONTH

Today is the first day of a new month. At least it is here in New Zealand, but we lead the world in that sort of thing and a lot of you may have to wait another day to catch up. 

That dawning sense of anticipation used to feel like a monthly treat, but this year everything seems to have sped up and new months are almost a weekly event.

  
One of my hobbies is digging into rabbit holes, and there have been no shortage of those to look at lately. Usually I'm all keen to do blog posts about all the fake stories I uncover, but I'm holding back a bit at the moment.

Last month there were some spectacularly obvious psyops like the Charlie Kirk fake shooting which rivaled last year's Donald Trumps ear shooting for being one of the all time stupidest looking psyops ever to come out of America, land of the bad psyop.

I usually sort of enjoy pointing out what a bunch of gullible retards other people are, but I'm not so keen on the sinking feeling of a slow dawning realisation of having believed a story hook line and sinker that is increasingly looking to be at least partially fake.

As of today I'm not even going to mention the two narratives I'm currently looking into, partly because I still need to do more research, and partly because discussing them publicly could well be quite unproductive.

And yes, it's also because I just don't really want to admit I may have been suckered. I'm not yet sure of the full extent of the deceptions, these are both fairly complex, and to me at least, they always seemed pretty convincing. 

Both stories go back more than a decade, I have long been engaged with them myself, and until this year I mostly believed them hook line and sinker.

As usual there is big money involved, and with one of them that includes some of my own. So I'm going to shut my face for now and just say this: very few things are as they seem, and it is highly unlikely that any of us are not being played to some extent.

So we really can't base our happiness on the illusion that we are too smart to be conned, can we?

 

CAMERA GEAR

My take on cameras: 

Some of my all time best photos were taken with my first digital camera, an old Canon Ixus 330 1.9 megapixel camera that I bought back in 2002. It fitted in my pocket and was built like a small metal brick. I just wanted to mention that, because too much talk of overkill camera gear gives me the droop.

Something that seems to be seldom discussed online is that most images on web pages are only 300 – 500px wide. Or that most photos are viewed on platforms like Facebook, and the maximum image size on Facebook is only 720px wide. 

But most people don’t even click on the images on their FB timeline anyway, they just view the thumbnail – which is only 470px wide. And beyond that, most people are now viewing the entire internet on their squinty little phones. So the vast majority of photos are viewed online at less than 470 px wide, and in that size, just about any resolution would do the job.

On this blog my photos are mostly web copies saved at either 750px or 1000px wide, but if you would like a really big copy of anything, just ask me nice and send some nekid pichers ov yerself in exchange.

After five years and over 10 000 photos taken with the Ixus 330, I did eventually get around to getting something more bling – a Canon Ixus 960 Titanium, which I used to take thousands more photos for another five years.

It eventually met an unfortunate and wet demise, so I bought an Ixus 500HS in a styling blue colour. Smaller, with better specs in theory, it was an OK camera for a surprisingly cheap price, but the image quality wasn’t as good as the Ixus 960, and I didn’t stick with it for long.

Still having a soft spot for the 960 Titanium (A classic IMHO), I bought a replacement one in mint condition on Trade Me for a bargain $100, including a waterproof case. (The original retail on this combination would have been around $1200, but cameras are not appreciating investments)

In 2015 I upgraded to a Canon SX600, which was a dirt cheap NZ$200 on sale. And it was a good camera. It fitted in my pocket, even with an 18x zoom, and with 16 megapixels and a 3 inch hi-res screens it seemed pretty awesome for a pocket camera. At that point it was both the cheapest and the best camera I’d ever owned. 

Then in 2018 I upgraded to a Canon SX720 with an awesome 40x zoom lens, and 20 megapixels. To this day it’s still the best camera I’ve ever owned and it blows me away how far these little cameras have developed. I actually prefer it to the newer models and later bought a back up one second hand.

I'm still using my seven year old SX270 daily in 2025 and have no real desire to replace it. If it ever stops working I'll probably just switch to my backup one and continue on.

My take on cameras is that for what I want to use my photos for – mainly posting on websites and often edited with art filters, what matters is not high resolution but always having one in my pocket ready for action, and to be able to use it rapidly without having to look at it.

Taking shit loads of photos also helps me to get some I like. Each picture is raw material for the almost unlimited enhancements available in my favorite programs. 

Over the years I’ve downloaded copies of lots of image editing programs and tried them out, starting with Photoshop 4 in 1998, and my all time favourite version of Photoshop was Photoshop CS6 from 2012. That was the one I stuck with for 12 years, because hell could freeze over before I would ever pay Adobe a monthly subscription.
 

But Photoshop doesn't run on Linux, so since switching full-time to using Linux at the start of 2025, I've also switched over to using GIMP, starting out with Gimp 2 at first, and then upgrading to Gimp 3 when it was released in March 2025.

I'm slowly learning to use GIMP 3 and it's a very good program, but after using Photoshop for the past 27 years I had become stuck in my ways, and I still have lots to learn. 

On Android I mostly use Snapseed, Cartoon Pro, Mirror Lab, and Chroma Lab for doing my photo edits. Despite hating Google I really like Snapseed and find it the fastest and easiest to use image editor for all basic stuff.

 This is a photo I took on my Canon SX270 that has been lightly edited in Snapseed. It's not high res enough for serious photographers, but I took it from inside a bus anyway, and I like it, as it captures chemtrails, a gay building, a masktard, and a phone zombie, all at once, in Manners St Wellington NZ:
