Intermezzo

An intermezzo was what happened during acts of a play back in the old, old times. I'm sure they won't just let all that pent up energy from The Event just die out. Why let a good potential crisis go to waste?

As an observer, it still surprises me to this day that, no matter how many red pills a person has taken in the past, it only takes one small situation on the world stage for people to start popping the blue pills again.

So, this intermezzo is brought to you in lieu of a different kind of pill. The Chill Pill.

Didja Get Yourself a T-Shirt?

Now you know that I am not about to step anywhere near the current media and online shitshow that is happening concerning The Event that took place on Saturday. Theories, speculation and opinions (and lots of rabbit holes) abound not including the “official narrative” about what really took place. Anyone who has read my blog should already know what my go-to opinion on anything that happens in our twisted and wicked version of reality. Especially if EVERYONE is talking about it and taking sides one way or another.

That being said, here is one fact that everyone agrees on:

The Event took place around 6:15pm Eastern Standard time.

Approximately 12 hours later, the story below was put up by The Independent. (Hat Tip to Ernest Hancock at Freedom Phoenix for posting the link.)

Trump shooting souvenir T-shirts already on sale after assassination attempt

According to this story, a Chinese company starting selling t-shirts of The Event featuring the “iconic” photo(op) at 8pm Eastern Standard time. Literally less than two hours later. By the time the story was posted, several other t-shirt companies followed suit. Supposedly, over 2000 t-shirts have already been sold.

Does that seem fast to you? Seems like it to me. Anyway, enjoy the show. This will probably be at least a double feature or possibly a mini-series. I prefer red licorice to popcorn myself.

Take care out there.

Kitchen Timers Revisited

When I posted about kitchen timers the other day, I did a Bing search for kitchen timers for the sole purpose of getting a picture to post on the blog. See above. (To answer Justin's question from yesterday, I found the lost timer in one of the bins in the bedroom that I had been working on. Mystery solved.)

Since then, I would estimate that almost half of the ads I see on various websites are now for kitchen timers. I guess Williams Sonoma has a really nice stainless steel kitchen timer according to one ad I saw. I was actually tempted to click on that ad just to see how much they cost. Of course, I won't click it because I am completely against the targeted advertising that has literally changed the internet into one big marketing scheme.

This is nothing new. I started seeing it a couple years ago when I worked at a certain company. I would google the company website to see about new job openings and next thing I knew, ads for the company were all over the place, including in my email.

It could be worse:

Here is a deep dive if you are interested:

Anyway – take care out there.

Laundry Horror Stories

Sundays are the best day for me to do laundry. I usually start around 6:30am and no one else is doing their laundry at that time. I have the place to myself. I walked down and started a load and then walked back. I set my timer. (I found my original timer after I bought two more. Now I have three! I should be good for now. Ha ha.)

When the timer went off I walked down to switch the loads. I was just grabbing some clothes from the washer and putting them in the dryer. So far uneventful until I went to put quarters in. Sitting on the coin push was this ENORMOUS bug casually waving it's antenna's at me. It looked like this:

Of course, in my mind at the time, it was this big:

I wasn't about to switch my load to another dryer. I was going to have to do battle with the bug. I have a screw top container that I use for my quarters and I used the lid to flip the bug off the coin push. He dropped somewhere between the wall and the side of the dryer. Sorry dude, you picked the wrong place to sit.

I never saw the bug again. Phew, laundry accomplished.

Take care out there. (watch for bugs)

Bye Bye BitChute

It use to be, back in the day, that I could go to Twitter (now X) and read what people wrote there and the comments. Then one day, I was no longer able to read it unless I signed in, giving them my name, phone number, email account, etc. Since I didn't really use Twitter and only read a couple of people's posts, it was no big deal to just stop going there. Now I can only read X post's if someone embeds it on their website. I figured, no big loss.

Unfortunately, in a way, the same thing has been done to Bitchute. Bitchute use to be an excellent alternative to You Tube. There was minimal censorship and a lot of good truth tellers had channels there. One was Amazing Polly. She hasn't been posting lately, but the screen grab above was from her channel. As you can see, since July 1st, you can only watch Bitchute videos if you accept their cookies.

Now, cookies have been around practically as long as computers have been and we have just gotten use to accepting them. But we are in a war now, and I don't trust cookies to not be one more thing weaponized against us. So why now? Why all of a sudden do you have to accept cookies to watch Bitchute videos? 

Just doing a Bing search on what cookies are brings up this:

Computer cookies are small files used by web servers to:

Save browsing information

Remember your device

Store browser preferences

Track user activity

Enhance web navigation

Enable personalized user experiences based on stored data about user’s preferences.

Of course it is tracking your activity. It was always designed to do that. Exactly what activity isn't defined but I'm sure any and all activities on the website and off the website will be tracked. I know they are already tracking every keystoke but why help them out?

Now, I can still watch new videos from these channels but I can't scroll down farther than the little cookie message. So anyone new coming to these channels and wanting to watch any older videos will have to accept the cookies in order to continue. Just one more incremental way the noose is tightening and the internet is just a little less free. Sigh.

Take care out there. 

Hard Days

Cederq told me I have to post something today. He's right of course, but I'm in a pretty bad situation that I don't really want to talk about.

I suppose, at some level, I have to come clean sometime. It's not like I'm still working 12 hour shifts on graveyard anymore. After 4 straight months of literally battling curses, hexes, dark spells and everything else they could throw at me, I am no longer employed at that job. You can think I'm just a delusional failure, but I stood against all that evil as hard as I could, while still trying to learn the job. I'm still having dreams about it. The Lord placed me in that job to have a doctorate level course in what we are up against in this war. I had no idea how bad it was, especially here at the local level. I guess I thought evil was only working at the macro level, like the destruction of our country and the food supply. Didn't think it would be so close to home.

But it's over.

There is a vacuum left in the wake. While I'm glad I never have to go back there, I'm back to square one again. No job, no regular paycheck, trapped in a box in the middle of Kansas, with not a whole lot of future prospects. On top of that, I'm sick. I'm battling some type of raging infection on my back. Thankfully, I did have a week's course of antibiotics that I found while repacking the bug out bag. Just in time. I'm about halfway through, so hopefully it will knock it out. It's hard to be optimistic when in this much pain.

That's about it. I hope you all are well. Take care out there and please pray for my healing and a new job.

Thanks.
