Amazingly no one is called out.

Life is. Easy comes and goes. I am happy other people enjoy my "first thought, best thought" musings. I am delighted anyone reads me. Now and then I ponder why Northern Hemisphere largely is indifferent.. That said while I reside in USA and surely am formed by it, absent American opinions I do not know who reads these Feuilletons.

I like your musings.

Some new thoughts for me.

My education has been sorely lacking so I am benefiting from your studies and interpretation vis a vis the current tyranny.

What happened to your donations idea.

You could try it for a little while.

Coming soon. The bank and I have to have online access. For unknown reason I have to actually contact and get permission. I am emotion driven this cold season. I have been dealing with internet issues-modem disconnects every few hours after the outage a couple weeks ago. We had a taste of rain but no outages. Then other issues. However this morning disconnection and then my trusty iPad dying overnight are enraging enough to deal with the bank. Already too much month.

Our life mediated by the machine. Replaces everything if it can. Transhuman money taking barcode scanning consumer fed machine. Connvenience of cashier's in grocery stores goes the way of longshore philosophers. Customer service today is machine. Phone tree. Time eating even online to check and correct data. All around me a digital fence is created. Spyware is everywhere. Health data is now a partisan issue and health combines retail health data to Democrats-and this but one tiny example of Cyberia coming into focus. Internal passports (Real ID) another digital fence. City Transit passes are plastic digital card.

Today the cell phone disconnect after using phone system to change auto-pay. The vendor had confirmed payment card changed. To navigate phone tree and online combined took 50 minutes. Constant call drop. Or 2O minutes on hold constantly confirming then holding for human then reaching them cut off.

I am very suspect of things that attract large numbers of fans in this culture. Including my own. Think there is tremendous value in having a few good readers over a large number of those who don’t take it to heart. Am reshaping my own work to this end.

This material on Graphene Oxide is great. Was kicked off Twitter for linking Graphene Oxide, the “vaccines” and an environment of enhanced Electromagnetic energy. Knew I had hit quite a nerve.

Quite right about the GO list being great.

Wonder how I will find this list again later

Wish Substacks could be titled by the stuff that I might want to refer to. LOL

SubStack (or the latest rendition of a SS) is very poorly organanidized. Can’t even make my way through my own stack.

Yes this I noted a while ago. Too many users for staff. A I. might help. :). Or hire ex-Twitter types.

Or simply find a way to allow us to organize our own posts under separate categories? Can't be that difficult. After all they have all our data stored in searchable format at their server farms.

Even or especially Substack had to curate by different rules to get traction. Hard to know the various players without study but Substack carved out a free speech niche in a time of open partisan ideological censorship supported by Social Media as public private collaboration. Growing pains require vision. I smile. A daily hedge of return on investment measured in days ?

Five years out health wise does not look good. This has to have consequences today. Forums like Substack try to make money and play cheap with the software. 30 or 40 years ago the BBS boards varied with software to handle demand.

I know some internet architects but they don’t support the sort of free speech many of us here do. Makes me think of “Girl With The Dragon Tatoo” series and how they successfully used technology for good. There are IT architects who are motivated to change things. Maybe for noe organizing through more than one stack? But yes we work within the belly of the beast.

I love your energy. Something positive must come your way soon. I don't think you realise how much many of us appreciate your Journal of Lingering Sanity. We don't always write and tell you.

We had a Prime Minister in Australia once who made the statement to all of us 'plebs'.

"Life wasn't meant to be easy".

This is the crux. The heroic MD's denouncing mRNA are ......fill in blank. Why not admit contents of vials observed to date are not mRNA? Either psychology prevents this or faith in Spike protein alone. Or paid to not say so. Or plausible deniability "Tim the Expert whom I Trust"

Dr. Alexander confuses me the most until I recall his political position reminds me a lot of Tim Leary. A less freaky Leary. But a leader type and charismatic.

I have list saved. Let me know and I can send email.

Maybe the shots need to be stronger.

Not more often, just "improved".

Or maybe chocolate flavour.

Thanks - I added this as a note to my mRNA post. Indeed, so much is PsyOps and tough to figure what is and is not. Regardless, the vast majority continue on with ignorance.

See my post entitled December 4 and especially my comment using Baudrillard.

People are dropping dead all around us at an alarming rate. Few want to open their controlled minds to facts behind it all - mRNA. https://frederickrsmith.substack.com/p/mysterious-mrna-mind-meld-195

I think GO. None have found mRNA. mRNA is one more Psy op component.

Funny how they think mentioning freak-out mRNA is more plausibly deniable than straight out GO razor blades. LOL

They can say that the mRNA was done with good intentions, but they must be lost for words regarding the razors.
