SHORT INTRO: You know already I send my texts from Hive.blog also to a Bastyon platform, which is a unique parallel network that does not depend on Internet, and it is not possible to censor if you use its application instead of browser.

So, after I have sent at Bastyon the Expanded BRICS text, about the epochal change in the global theater, I’ve got a few reactions, but one was especially interesting, because it seemed like a quintessence of all colonial propaganda. You can find it at this link, but for the sake of explanation, I give the comment here:

The thing that is a touch concerning about BRICS, Russia and other countries don’t appear to have a problem with the 20,000 raped/ murdered caucasians, the land grabs, burnings and loss of food production.

Also neither Amnesty International, UN / human rights organisations or other western countries seem to be bothered either, but here’s a thought.

The farming lands of SA were predominately baron and made fertile. A very large part of the country was uninhabited. SA used to produce 400% of its food requirements and was one of not the biggest exporter to African nations.

Aside for calls to murder more white people, if memory serves a policy was made to make it illegal to feed white people. I have seen footage of two black men laughing at a starving white African as they ate.

What organisations benefit from the starvation policy?

We know that what’s wrong is wrong, but sanctimonious chose what history to ignore. How’s SA doing now?

(FACTS are facts. Don’t stone the messenger)



So, let’s start dismantling colonial propaganda with the last line. Facts are facts only if they are verifiable from the credible sources. The guy who sent the comment was asked for his sources, and he showed these:

https://roddreher.substack.com/p/kill-the-boer-murder-white-south

Every single one of his sources are from the – colonial side.

His comment cannot stand any objective verification. Let’s now start from the beginning and his first statement:

The thing that is a touch concerning about BRICS, Russia and other countries don’t appear to have a problem with the 20,000 raped/ murdered caucasians, the land grabs, burnings and loss of food production.

There is a pure manipulation from the very first paragraph: Massive crimes against caucasians! Subtext is that those African black racist are murdering and raping innocent white people, isn’t it? Well, that can’t be further from the truth. Caucasus is a mountain wreath expanding through Georgia, Azerbaijan and Russia, with the Mount Elbrus as its highest peak. For some funny reasons, Western propaganda considers this region as a native birthplace of a ‘white race’. But you can see in this documentary that Russian people – no doubt white race – are having business in South Africa without any problems:

Reaping Divine Justice. Duration: 53:21

“South Africa’s white farmers brace for race war amid land expropriation debate

Colonialism and apartheid are long gone in South Africa, but racial disparities in income, jobs and, most importantly, land ownership remain a dividing issue. White people, who make up just 8.2 per cent of the population, own 72 per cent of all farms and agricultural holdings, while the black majority owns just four per cent of the land.”

Source to this documentary censored in the Collective West

Russia is aware that it is not possible to fully protect a minority of colonial descendents – who are still holding 72% of stolen lands – from the revengeful anger of the domestic population. And since it has vast areas of uncultivated land, Russia is offering land to the white farmers from South Africa who are feeling endangered in that country, and are ready to cultivate that land – free of charge! A concept totally strange to Collective West colonialists.

One more thing – I can point you in Serbia, to the two editors of HelmCast production who are married to African women and have quite exemplary families. You don’t have racist laws against white men, nor racist relations towards them in Africa. Africans do not hate white men, they hate colonialists. All those who comes to them seeing in them equal people, are welcomed. Robbers, murderers, slave drivers are not. It’s a simple law of life.

So, there are attacks on some caucasians in Africa, no doubt, but let’s see how large the crime against whites really is. The guy says “20,000 raped/ murdered caucasians, the land grabs, burnings and loss of food production”, but never says at which territory, and which time frame. With those data we could put the things into perspective. Since he stated that this “is a touch concerning about BRICS”, we may assume this refers to South Africa. But even if we use his own, Western side source, picture is quite different: According to South African police statistics, there were 21,325 murder victims in 2019 of which 49 were white farmers.

In the period of 2016–17 there were 74 murders and 357 reported attacks.

So, there really are crimes that can’t be denied – 123 white murder victims in three years… And colonial propaganda wants to equalize that to their genocidal crimes, land grabs, plunder of resources, slavery trade… which they have doing for over four centuries all over Africa! We’ll get back to that again…


Also neither Amnesty International, UN / human rights organisations or other western countries seem to be bothered either

They were not bothered because the current South African government is NOT the apartheid regime which had one law for colonialist masters and the other for the native population. This government is doing everything it can to find and prosecute criminals who were doing murders and attacks on the white farmers. This is the reason why it is possible that just 8.2 per cent of the population, still owns 72 per cent of all farms and agricultural holdings, while the black majority still owns just four per cent of the land.

The descendants of the colonial murderers and land grabbers would have been long ago completely wiped out if it wasn’t so.


The farming lands of SA were predominately baron and made fertile. A very large part of the country was uninhabited.

Now this is a completely false statement – shameless colonial lie:

“Archaelogical sites in South Africa contain evidence of very early human settlements, invalidating the notion of terra nullius so beloved by the European colonial settlers who liked to consider themselves the first humans to inhabit the region. In the summer of 1995, geologist Dave Roberts discovered a set of fossilized footprints 117,000 years old in the sandy slopes of Langebaan Lagoon, on the Atlantic coast of South Africa, dating back to the period when the first anatomically modern humans emerged. For most of the past 100,000 years, the southern African region has been host to nomadic groups of hunter-gatherers living in nuclear families—the San. These groups lived in delicate ecological balance with their environment and knew, for example, how to aggregate and disperse in response to ecological necessity. They left posterity the benefit of their beliefs and rituals, outlooks, and activities in rock art found throughout the region. Some 2,000 years ago a group of agro-pastoralists, the Khoi Khoi, also took up permanent residence in the region. About 1,500 years ago, the iSintu-speaking people, who had migrated from the Great Lakes region of Africa, began to cultivate the soil, mainly in the summer rainfall river valleys of the southeastern part of Africa, introducing and developing techniques of growing edible crops such as millet and gourds. The domestication of cattle approximately 1,000 years ago in southern Africa created new possibilities for societal development, and political systems arose among the decentralized kingdoms of the region.

The arrival of Europeans in southern Africa was by far the most traumatic experience the indigenous communities had ever experienced by the 1600s. In 1652 the Dutch set up a mainland base in the territory of the Khoi Khoi for their East India Company (VOC) as a victualling station for their own passing ships. Observing the building of a stone castle and the settling of farmers on their land, the Khoi Khoi realized that the Dutch intended to stay and thus resisted bartering with them by withholding their own livestock and fought off the attempts of VOC expeditions to take their livestock by force. Thus began the systematic dispossession of indigenous populations that sparked off the Wars of Dispossession (the ‘Kaffir Wars’) in the 1770s which lasted 100 years in the region—or more accurately, more than 3 centuries, terminating only with the establishment of South Africa’s democratic government in 1994. Gradually the Dutch settlers overwhelmed the indigenous Africans by seizing their streams, land, and cattle and by incorporating the Khoi Khoi as farm laborers and into their militia, destroying the Khoi Khoi's political economy. The urgent need for labor experienced by the Dutch was reinforced by the 1688 arrival of French Huguenots, escaping religious persecution in Europe, and within the first decade of their arrival the Dutch brought in slaves from their Asian colonies, mainly from Malaysia, and from eastern and western Africa. These slaves became the nucleus of the subsequent ‘coloured’ community.”

Of course colonialists will lie to cover their terrible crimes. Their usual method of dealing is genocide over domestic population, and then writing a history of terra nullius and noble settlers who cultivated barren lands and expanded culture, prosperity, education and democracy to a few savages they have found there. Rubbish!

The most notorious colonial Empire in the history of the World was – Great Britain. Their genocidal score is immeasurable. They have tried it in India – with 165 million victims of colonialism in only 40 years…

…but that was not so successful, because India had very numerous population. On the other hand, they had much more success on the North American continent, where they – by some estimations – have exterminated 90 million natives:

Of course they had colonies in Africa:

Britain had many colonies in Africa: in British West Africa there was Gambia, Ghana, Nigeria, Southern Cameroon, and Sierra Leone; in British East Africa there was Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania (formerly Tanganyika and Zanzibar); and in British South Africa there was South Africa, Northern Rhodesia (Zambia), Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe), Nyasaland (Malawi), Lesotho, Botswana, and Swaziland. Britain had a strange and unique colonial history with Egypt. The Sudan, formerly known as the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, was jointly ruled by Egypt and Britain, because they had jointly colonized the area. The joint colonial administration of the Sudan by Egypt and Britain was known as the condominium government.

How can we be sure that they didn’t do same things there? Because they were ‘shining role model’ for other great criminals from all over Europe:

Then, there was one other, well known great criminal that had immense admiration for the British colonial policy:

Fascism: A History at Odysee (Full Movie) Duration / Трајање: 55:04 (енглески)

Hit-2022-03-08_151520.jpg

“The film “Fascism: A History” by RT Documentary explores the nature of this vicious ideology and how it’s been tainting the societies long before and after Hitler.

Fascism is often paired with Hitler and WWII, but in reality, it’s been around for a long time. The idea of a “superior” race or people taking over the “inferior” one was the primary driving force for centuries of European colonialism. By the early 20th century, most of the world was divided between a few colonial nations. The UK had colonies almost all over the world, and France, Italy, Belgium, Spain, Germany had their fair share of colonies. The proclaimed intention to bring civilisation, wealth, and, later, democracy was just a ruse to get to the countries’ resources and occupy the territory.

So, on the brink of WWII, the thirst for power and new acquisitions was just as great, and some of the allied forces wanted to kill several birds with one stone. Though the resolution of the European Parliament dated September 19, 2019, claimed it was Germany and the Soviet Union who paved the way for WWII. Secret files reveal Great Britain made agreements with Hitler and Nazi Germany in 1933, 1935 and 1938, while the US lent the Wehrmacht economic support. Both countries secretly negotiated a separate peace with Germany in 1945.

This was an attempt to use the Soviet Union to weaken or defeat the Nazis and, once done, annihilate the Soviets. Formed in 1949, NATO carried on with the colonialist rhetoric and took over more countries under the auspices of bringing democracy there.”

For more than four centuries, colonialist scum did not do a single good thing for the native population of Africa. Instead, they have made that the richest continent of the planet has the poorest population! They have developed mechanisms to further suck the blood of every people not strong enough to resist. And they have new military structure ready to enforce their genocidal plans:

The Pentagon has nearly 6,000 servicemen stationed across 50 of 54 countries in Africa.

Despite everything, today we still have people that can believe such preposterous propaganda like ‘starving white African’…

Aside for calls to murder more white people, if memory serves a policy was made to make it illegal to feed white people. I have seen footage of two black men laughing at a starving white African as they ate.

…while completely overlooking starving and homeless white Americans!

Well, let’s give that guy benefit of a doubt – he simply didn’t have anything else but colonial propaganda as his sources. Otherwise, he would not ask questions like this:

What organisations benefit from the starvation policy?

The only organizations who benefit from the starvation policy are the corporations of colonial states. The colonial crimes on industrial scale started with East India Company, with quite a telling flag:

Flag_of_the_British_East_India_Company_(1801).jpg

Today we have the freshest of examples in the Ukrainian ‘Grain deal’. There was a big fuss about the hunger in Africa if Russia does not allow export of Ukrainian grain. But, only 3% of the exported grain really went to Africa. Why? Because there is no Ukrainian grain in that deal. Let’s see top 10 owners of the Ukrainian cultivated land:

The corporations exported most of the grain in EU, breaking the small, individual producers, and then dictating the price of grain to all hungry people. There is a book titled ‘Confessions of an Economic Hitman’ by John Perkins, who explained the mechanism and more: how the USA used debt and economic sabotage to control the World.

Even if this words were not Kissinger’s, they are true: “Control oil and you control nations. Control foods and you control the people”. That is colonial mindset, because of which African leaders today have to speak like this to colonial representatives:

Congo President shuts down Macron at a press conference, Macron tries to deflect but makes it even worse.

Strange how this guy, who in his own posts claims he does not believe MSM, is actually falling for MSM bulls*it under another label, without even trying to verify his ‘sources’, while still thinking he has all the knowledge.

We know that what’s wrong is wrong, but sanctimonious chose what history to ignore. How’s SA doing now?

I can understand a mistake of a man exposed to one-sided propaganda only, but it is very hard for me to understand a man who says he knows his media are lying to him, and then still accepts obvious propaganda in those media like Holy Bible. He was asking me to send him immediately links to a refutation texts, obviously oblivious to a fact that only CIA has ‘true info’ at one click. Let’s hope these links will help him understand that the World is not black and white, and there are no absolute truths. Life is constant verification and completing the puzzle using one’s own mind, and not easily offered ‘FACTS’.

BTW, South Africa is doing far better than it was under the apartheid regime, and will be going even better with the BRICS group in the future. Now Ethiopia is admitted to BRICS, and we will all see how fast the starvation in that country will disappear. Russia already announced a substantive grain shipments to the six most endangered African countries – free of charge! Again, a concept totally strange to Collective West colonialists… And we have a confirmation that ‘Russia’s friends are getting richer’ from The Bank of Canada.


BRICS is an execution of the long overdue process of decolonization. And it can be slowed down only with a great global war…






Ending Note:

It took some time for me to edit the links so they are out of the Empire’s censorship reach. Still, some of those are pointing at YouTube, and could disappear any day. If you can’t see some of them, please say in the comments, and I will see if I can redirect you so you can see it. Thank you all for your attention

This has to be one of the most indepth articles I have read in such a long time.
Just getting through the videos is a whole project on its own.
All well worth the digging.

When I mesh it with ancient histories, it is a human condition to breed opportunists and psychopaths. It goes beyond Race and Ideologies.

You can slice it to sections, where there is a section of humanity, who seem to carry a set of traits & we can label them, such as Fascism.
But then you scan across to another set of humanity, in another time and place, to see a whole set of new types of attributes, which connects to another set of humanity which is focused on causing devastation upon another group.

Deuteronomy 20:16-18
“But of the cities of these peoples which the LORD your God gives you as an inheritance, you shall let nothing that breathes remain alive, but you shall utterly destroy them: the Hittite and the Amorite and the Canaanite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite, just as the LORD your God has commanded you, lest they teach you to do according to all their abominations which they have done for their gods, and you sin against the LORD your God."

It can only happen when the mass of individuals act in unison. They all accept the same drum beat. The see the opportunities as a whole, as part of their own opportunity. Or the protection from a project Fear.
If anyone falls to the wayside, it jeopardises all. So, we must bring them into line - for the "Greater Good"!

Wow, and we seem to only see clearer once time has passed. Once all of the profits have been squeezed. Once, those in Power pivot to a new chess game.
Allowing us to review the pieces strewn about the board - to create the platform for a new deception?

We are amazing. In all the good, and ill, we do.

Thank you @jagged, very glad you like it :)

yes, i've read much into the Second World War, but had not known of Operation Unthinkable - I had thought they were trying to cap the Russian influence politically & racing to reach Berlin 1st.

"...Bastyon platform, which is a unique parallel network that does not depend on Internet..."

I have made networks before, and set up my first network in 1987. These networks are not global, but Local Area Networks (LANs). There is only one global network we have access to: the internet. That is why the link to Bastyon you provide above is an internet address.

All you have to do is look at the back of your computer to see that only one internet cable connects you to Bastyon, BTC, Hive, Youtool, and every other internet resource. There is no separate wire(s) that connects you to Bastyon or BTC. You connect to Bastyon, Odysee, and Youtool using your internet browser, because all three of them are on the internet and use TCP/IP.

"The Internet protocol suite, commonly known as TCP/IP, is a framework for organizing the set of communication protocols used in the Internet and similar computer networks according to functional criteria. The foundational protocols in the suite are the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), and the Internet Protocol (IP). Early versions of this networking model were known as the Department of Defense (DoD) model because the research and development were funded by the United States Department of Defense through DARPA."

You can tell https://bastyon.com is on the internet because that is an internet address, just like https://odysee.com and https://www.youtube.com. That's why your browser can access all of them, and why you can access them having only internet access. You'll notice the latter has a 'www' in it's address, which signifies it is part of the World Wide Web that is an internal network to the internet. That doesn't mean that Youtool isn't on the internet. It means the World Wide Web is a subset of the internet. Different protocols operate within the global internet protocol, and there are many of them, including Hive, BTC, and IRC.

My friend, don't let this trouble you. It's just a fact, like the stone bones of the Earth itself. You connect to the internet to access Bastyon, Youtool, IRC, and every other site and subnet available to you, just like you walk to the store, the library, and every other place you access on the Earth, and never take a step on some other planet.

Just as you can walk, ride a bicycle, a motorcycle, a unicycle, a bus, a car, and big Mack trucks to physically traverse streets to your destinations on Earth, you can use software protocols to access different parts of the internet, BTC wallets, Hive wallets, Youtool, IRC, Odysee, and etc. All the streets are on Earth, and all those protocols and data are on the internet.

When you lose internet access, you lose access to Bastyon, BTC, and IRC because they are not on separate, parallel network infrastructure from the internet, but are only on the internet. Since you do not have access to a separate, parallel network to the internet, if they were on separate, parallel networks you would not have access to them. You access them through the internet, which they are all part of.

I have made networks before, and set up my first network in 1987. These networks are not global, but Local Area Networks (LANs). There is only one global network we have access to: the internet. That is why the link to Bastyon you provide above is an internet address.

I have a school friend who was installing Local Area Networks before you, @valued-customer, and he would be much harsher in reaction to your deep ignorance. I can tell you about it in my way:

• DECENTRALIZED networks are NOT the same as LAN.
• Bastyon has a connection to Internet, but you can install the application and turn off all your browsers – it will still work. It DOES NOT DEPEND on the TCP/IP Internet protocol.
• TCP/IP is not the only protocol in Universe.
• TCP/IP is not the best protocol in the Universe. It is a patchwork that had global reach because it was first. There are much improved protocols in existence.
• There is NO SINGLE INFRASTRUCTURE that everybody use. Russia and China already have their own sovereign Internets, and they are expanding infrastructure through all BRICS countries. Any refusal of service now has easy alternative.
• Bitcoin already has its own infrastructure. Yes, it uses Internet as well, but DOES NOT DEPEND on it. So when you state “When you lose internet access, you lose access to Bastyon, BTC, and IRC because they are not on separate, parallel network infrastructure from the internet, but are only on the internet” you are actually showing all your ignorance.

I disagree with you as to those facts, and you are not correct stating you can connect to bastyon, nor BTC wallets, without accessing their servers over the internet.

You can test this. But you can also look at your network card and see that there is only a connection to the internet there. There is no other wire. Protocols and decentralized nodes are only riding on the physical infrastructure that is the actual internet. Even if the protocols provide for other software mechanisms than TCP/IP, that doesn't make wires suddenly spring into existence.

There is no other connection to your computer that reaches Bastyon or BTC wallets except the internet. Prove that statement false, and show me you did so, and I'll be EXTREMELY happy to be wrong. You should know me well enough to know that the reason I make this point is the depending on infrastructure makes crypto permissioned by them that own that infrastructure, and that is my issue. I do not believe that BTC isn't permissioned by the owners of the physical network it depends on to effect transactions. I have no other dog in the fight.

Please, prove me wrong and I'll be as grateful as I was when you proved me wrong about Covid.

I disagree with you as to those facts,

Facts do not care if you agree or not, @valued-customer.

Please, prove me wrong and I'll be as grateful as I was when you proved me wrong about Covid.

I am a retired lawyer, @valued-customer. You can’t come in Court, say nonsense and ask for the other side to prove it! It doesn’t work that way. All the points I stated are functioning in practice – they are true. You are simply wrong, and do not want to admit that. Wake up – I simply cannot spend more time on your nonsense.

Complete failure to undertake even the simplest scientific principle, disproof of false hypotheses, and the utter incapacity to even acknowledge the basic fact that you only connect to the internet and do not access any other network YOU CLAIM exist and you use.

It is you that has blatantly lied or are completely ignorant of physical reality regarding the physical infrastructure that actually exists, and refuse to acknowledge you have been PROVED WRONG.

Your problem, your BTC, my burden of care is fulfilled, and you are free to lose everything to your failure to act based on reality as you prefer. I have really done my best to enable you to secure your assets that is possible. The response from you is curses and ad hominems. Despite your incivility, I can only pity your inability to cope with reality, because I have seen your desire to rise above oppression, and to help others do so. All that you have surmounted will come to nothing when you are trapped in the pit you pretend isn't right in front of you, waiting to take everything you have, as you push right into it.

Enjoy the fruits you have sown.

You can, of course, have a paper wallet and physically carry it to someone else with a paper wallet. However, if BTC has to depend on the Pony Express to transact, it will effectively lose all value as money.

No, you can't access Bitcoin without access to the internet.

So, in one strike you show that you don’t know what Bitcoin is and don’t have a clue what Internet is. Congratulations!

I have no opinion on the question of genocide or not. However, I am sceptical about the alleged high death rate of Native Americans regarding "introduced diseases" and their alleged unilateral effects. It strikes me as odd that the European immigrants transmitted their "horribly contagious diseases" to the natives, but in return there is little mention that it must have been the same in reverse.

If one starts from the theory that hitherto unknown and never before touched peoples meet each other, then all of them must have been affected by unknown diseases and the number of deaths on the side of the immigrants must have been just as great, put in proportion.

I doubt the whole theory of contagion in its linear cause-effect manner. The human viriome, according to the theory of the biologists who study it, is considered crucial in human evolution.

If one realises that viruses have played the decisive role in the genetic evolution of life from the very beginning, then the fact that all organisms in the biosphere are more or less permeated by viruses is not surprising. Every millilitre of seawater contains 10 million viruses, with every lettuce leaf we take in an average of a billion viruses and even "clean" drinking water is teeming with these creatures. Viruses are the oldest building blocks of life.

It would now be completely illusory to believe that each of these viruses would trigger a specific disease; rather, our current understanding is increasingly moving in the direction that we must not understand viruses as individual agents, but always as components of highly complex microbial systems. In this sense, infectious diseases are not caused by a single virus, but are associated with certain shifts within this extremely complex microbiome, which we also call dysbiosis (incorrect composition).

In an over-fertilised meadow, where instead of a hundred different flowers, only dandelions thrive or overgrow everything else, it would be wrong to call the dandelion a "pathogen", because the actual disease factors lie in the dysbiosis resulting from the over-fertilisation and not in the resulting monoculture of dandelions. Transferred to micro-ecology, this means that the increased occurrence of certain viruses and bacteria is more a symptom of a disturbed system than its cause. Sorrel likes to grow on acidic soils, but the soil is not acidic because sorrel grows there. Just as in the external flora, the macro-ecology, it is the so-called indicator plants that show the state of the system, so the composition of the viruses and bacteria, the internal flora, gives us information about the general state of the human being, which is of course very individual for everyone; that is why the microbiomes of people are so highly individual.

There are about 40 trillion microbes living on our inner and outer body surfaces, to which must be added about ten times as many viruses. We do not even begin to understand most of the processes and interactions in this extremely complex ecosystem.

In a recently published study, the microbiome analysis of more than 9,000 people between the ages of 18 and 101 showed that those men and women whose intestinal flora had changed or individualised the most over the years were the healthiest and had the highest life expectancy. The microbiome of these people showed a very personal touch, so to speak.
Accordingly, the best protection against parasites and other infectious diseases is the individual structure of our microbiome. We speak of colonisation resistance when colonisation by foreign germs is prevented by our very "own" microbiome. Transferred to macroecology, this means that a natural ecosystem with high individual biodiversity, i.e. with "its own character", is much healthier and more robust against pathogens than, for example, a 10-hectare maize field where parasites spread much faster because the same conditions prevail everywhere.

If one follows the theory that a varied diet favours such intestinal flora, as is assumed of hunter-gatherer cultures, which, in contrast to farmers or city dwellers, ate a richer and more varied diet, for example due to nomadism, migration through different zones with different plant growth and the resulting wealth in the consumption of different foods. Then one would have to ask oneself whether the nomadic and hunter culture of the prehistoric Indians was not superior to that of the arriving Europeans who, after months of deprivation of good food (on ships), must have been inferior to these "healthy people" in terms of their vitality and resistance. ... So I am skeptical about what the historynewsnetwork writes in the article you gave as a source.

Historiography is probably the least reliable "science" (I wouldn't even call it that).

Greetings!

I shared the article to denounce the outrageous and completely fictional figure of MILLIONS dead which only has emerged relatively recent.

Of course, that came across, I didn't go into it because I'm sceptical about sensational figures circulating on the net anyway. It has probably always been fashionable to use the "millions dead" to achieve a certain effect.

The image of the wise native, the bona fide and defenceless aboriginal is surely as distorted as that of the murderous primitive Indian who counted scalps. There will have been one as well as the other, what do I know about it. Everything I think I know I have read on my sofa. In fact, I don't think anything of using this subject as a hook for a private blog, I agree. In the end, I guess it's all click bait....
