I occasionally share substack posts regarding the plandemic, (particularly Aussie17 because of his familiarity with news in Japan where I live) with “private” FB groups.
i was very happy to see that you are alive, well and active! (how are you?)
love the effort here and hadn't thought of doing this. i have limited myself to posting solely on my face with my meagre cadre of mostly sleepers.
without trying, are these groups open to non-group members posting is membership a requirement before posting?
we are living the bhagavad-gita wedded to the great apocalypse! all the best with what is changing. everything changes! with peace, respect, love and exuberant joy.
(Haven't figured out how to make those upside exclamation marks on my Mac. 😂)
I'm doing well, thanks ... but consuming too much information to be much of a creator. Just a messenger boy. For now. But I do have a musical post in the works you might enjoy, something inspired by a new buddy down in Brazil.
Hope things are holding up with you ... particularly your health.
Thanks for the kudos, but to tell the truth ... when all is said and done, I really don't know (can't know?) if the plusses outweigh the potential minuses, particularly with such a heavily surveilled platform as FB. Mixing my metaphors here ... but just kind of playing it by ear, and letting the pieces fall where they may.
As far as I know, most groups allow anyone to become a member and then post ... but as mentioned, a few of these are 'vanity presses', and some may even be a search and identify 'kill box' of information spreaders. Especially for the predators among us, the anonymity of the internet is still a wide-open wild West, but better that than a centrally controlled digital I.D. for 'proof of identity' — in the name of 'safety' of course.
Oh, and when you mentioned the Gita and apocalypse in the same breath, I couldn't help but to recall a recent YouTuber that gave me a handle on understanding the global political shift ... basically "great" traditional, historical cultures of the world re-emerging to challenge the would be god-kings of Global Technofeudalism ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAa6BPb61qc
And a song and dance for Greenland's Impending Independence Day ... "Dreamland" 😂
hola, steve. the upside down exclamation on my mac is <option+1>. ¡¡¡ or you can copy and paste those!¡!¡!
i've stopped worrying about the seek and destroy kill part of the *thing*. why? because i'm going to die when i die in one of various ways before the so-called ultimate death. when we aren't meant to be ultimately deaded we will turn our head towards a racist statistic and have our ear cut by a bullet as a wake-up call instead of brain splattered death. lol! or something like that.
i continue to have extraordinary encounters and synchronicities that are very much like ear-cutting bullets. amazing amazing stuff.
yesterday i was hired on a 6 week trial to be a hotel's 2nd yoga teacher. a new venture! wow! and on march 1st i signed a sub-lease for a 6 month stint as a massage/marma therapist with yoga and dog-training as options. another brand-new adventure. that hasn't got started with clients yet, as i've only just begun my advertising — the opportunity came up very suddenly and my body surprised me by directing me to say yes — and i'm sharing it with an amazing canadian here.
i'll check out your links later. for now, i'm on a deep dive into the substrates of my unconscious and possible shadow projections with how i connect to candace owens. we are sister-brother truth seekers is what i would like to think it is — my very awake sister thinks i might be in shadow-projection delusion, which is part of my exploration: my wip-essay has a lot to do with that and my feeling of total disgust when i overheard a woman in a café here say 'with the problem of climate change and over-population, it is too bad that the last pandemic didn't do a better job. if we are lucky, the next one will do better.' it turns out that my being triggered by her into over-the-top disgust rhetoric was in fact a projection of my own disgust-of-self i have kept hidden away in my shadows.
anyway, i'll consider my options about these fb groups. my writing is not ... what? easily categorised or even readable by many! snoopy dance it is very likely an odd melange of montaigne, shakespeare and chuang-tsu. lol! well, that is what my delusional and addled writing fingers and mind might like to think at least some of the time in a limited way on bad day.
we are living the bhagavad-gita wedded to the great apocalypse! all the best with what is changing. everything changes! with peace, respect, love and exuberant joy.
I gave up on the bork of feces a few years ago. The last straw, after I'd reduced my FB activity thanks to much Wuflu related banning etc., was to get a retrospective ban for something I posted several years before in IIRC a "private" group.
Amusingly the 7? day ban started just after my weekly checking of stuff so I didn't notice it until it had almost expired. Anyway I still have the account so I can track family and friends who are on it but I no longer post a thing and I visit so infrequently I usually have to log in each time, which is another disincentive to visit
Mind you FB is not alone in disliking me, I got a new account on Xitter at the start of the year since it seemed like a good thing to have to post links to my substack on. The last one had been banned for suggesting that Fauxi and co be lined up against a wall and shot (inciting violence, bad boy, no cookie - which was a fair cop except that most people seemed to be allowed to delete the Xeet and be let back on, I wasn't). Anyway the new account was banned after a week or two for "inauthentic activity" whatever that is and there's no way to find out what I did wrong or how to fix whatever it is so I'm done with X too. Fortunately there are various X bypass sites that show you Xeets and threads so I don't miss it much
I have avoided most "fact checks" and breaking "community standards" in the last year or so ... but that might be because the Fascist Blowhards just want to keep tabs on where I am coming from and where I am going.
That being said, I am convinced that no institution, heuristics, or platform can withstand eventual corruption and fall, including substack.
While the predatory tactics vary, two long term trends seem to be common to all Camelots and Towers of Babel ... the limits of scale regarding exploiting and allocating energy to complex systems (Joseph Tainter, "The Collapse of Complex Societies") and the dark side of our collective human genome (A. Lobaczewski's "Political Ponerology"). Harrison Koehli is doing a great job covering the latter in his Ponerology substack.
While we can, with what limited tools we have ... I guess the best we can do is fight the good fight on behalf of those who can't.
Ha. Had to look up "recidivist", and then recalled you were in law enforcement in a previous life. 😆
Yeah, so blown away by the quantity (and occasional quality) of information (and its "dis", "miss", and other pronoun counterparts) ... that my quality is messenger boy of the lowest common denominator, relying on brute, copy-paste repetition of key strokes. If I did not have that streak of pro-social anarchist in me, I might have made a good bureaucrat and wouldn't even bother looking up "Nuremberg Code".
Cheers to ya buddy, and looking forward to reading you at your cynically outrageous best. A unique voice I admire and can only aspire to.
Steve Martin—Thank you for making the effort. This is excellent information.
Good to hear from you Transcriber.
It's been too long.
Just wanted to let you know that yours is the most steady drumbeat of battles fought that I still hear and read.
Keep playing that song.
Cheers and the best to you Transcriber!
steve
Thanks for the kind words, Steve, much appreciated.
thanks Steve!
Kochira koso, Aussie 17.
Much thanks for your most recent post.
The Slovak Dr.'s speech was especially moving.
Cheers buddy!
Thanks Steve!
My pleasure (and obligation) Tonetta!
Cheers from Japan!

Appreciations to my favorite recidivist offender :)
Hey Dean!
Ha. Had to look up "recidivist", and then recalled you were in law enforcement in a previous life. 😆
