Hunting The Caspian Monster
by bald and bankrupt | Date
added: 30-Nov-20
Cheerful and excited
as every, these time he's
monster hunting (an
Ekranoplan) washed up on the
shores of Russia. He gives
an introduction to the craft
at the start of the video
and then he visits some
villages in hope of hearing
the Kalmyk language. At
20:50 he is told "Go ask in
the temple" but I think this
was mistranslated... I think
the lady meant "God knows!"
but he took it literally!
Finally at 38:42 he finds
his plane; epic!
I share his
enthusiasm for such
aircraft. During my
childhood I visited an
aircraft museum with my
grandparents and was
enthralled when I got to
climb up into the cockpit of
a Vulcan Bomber.
I still
have my souvenir bookmark.
Since then (in 2014) I got
to see the last remaining
one fly.
As for other aircraft, I
quite enjoy assembling
models of them... maybe I'll
create a specific page for
this topic...
Covid rules: 'If you're
trying to save the NHS, why
destroy the entire economy?'
by talkRADIO | Date
added: 30-Nov-20
- The economy has declined
by 10%
- Costing £10,000 for each
person in the country
-"Allow people to take
personal responsibility
[rather than trying to
micromanage]"
- 1/3 of people have t-cell
immunity so can't get it and
can't carry it or pass it on
[this would be more without
masks and social distancing]
Sir Desmond Swayne [MP]
'speechless about the way
people shrug as our
liberties are taken away'

That's an awesome library...
This guy is being very
patient and polite during
the times she rambles on
with her thoughts, before
posing the questions he's
there to answer.
4:45 The right to protest
and to worship has been
taken away. Why do we need
"rights to", why not "do"
what you want to do? I don't
agree with protesting; it's
not that I don't agree with
people choosing to protest,
I just don't much point in
it. Why protest that you
can't hug your gran on
Christmas Day? If you want
to hug your gran on
Christmas Day, then go
ahead! Why behave like you
need the right to do so? If
you want to worship, then
worship; don't behave like
you are a child that needs
to be "allowed" to do
something. It's the behaving
like some "governing power"
has authority over you that
gives it the power. I'm not
talking about acting
irresponsibly, but rather
the opposite; take
responsibility, behave like
you are responsible and in
full control of your own
decisions actions. As for
fines, don't fear them. If
some "authoritative figure"
wants to hand you a piece of
paper that implies you have
to pay some "fine" for some
"offence", don't fear that
happening, and don't live
like it's going to happen,
or means you have to pay
anything; if such a piece of
paper is ever handed to you
then graciously receive
it... and do with it what
you want. You could pay it,
or you could dispute it.
9:44 When asked the question
of "why we have money for
space-age weapons but not
for the poorest people in
the world" he provides the
reason: "It's important we
maintain our power and
influence in the world."
That hits the nail on the
head right there; not only
is that power and influence
on the scale of nations, but
on the individual also. And
then she agrees...
Coronavirus Dr Mike Yeadon
claims 50% of UK was already
immune by June and
'Boris Johnson is supposed
to have had Covid...so why
is he isolating by talkRADIO | Date
added: 17-Nov-20
[I got my notes in a muddle
after watching these two
videos, so I've combined
them]
- There's a testing error
problem
- Boris told by "track/test
and trace" to self isolate
for 14 days even though
there's - nothing
wrong with him [and he's
already had it and likely
immune]
- [Micromanaging] and a lack
of logic to the variou
rules, which people are
following the rules like
sheep
- If you don't download the
app, and you don't get
"pinged" then you're not
breaking the law for not
self isolating, because
noone has told you to do so
(no one has told me to wear
a mask)
- If there's no rational
argument
- No medical sense
- Only 5 people have had
Covid twice
- Nothing other virus has
been studied more thoroughly
[yet it's like no one has a
clue]
- Track and trace
limitations: maybe not even
in close proximity (just the
same establishment, even on
a different floor)
- People who want to market
something will get round
everything
- 65M vaccines needed = lot
of money
- 3 months of testing,
length of immunity, long
term side effects
- Compulsory vaccines done
subtly, by persuasion, such
as for travel, what freedom
it gives you [rather than
takes away], similar to the
track and trace in fast food
restaurants that give you a
discount on the food if you
comply
- Dr Mike Yeadon visits his
elderly relative once every
three months... not seen
since march (so missed two
visits)
- "Human touch and contact
is as important than
medicine", the importance of
genuine empathy, luxury of
time; air-stewards more
empathic than some GPs
- Not diagnosing cancer
because GPs are closed; "the
gateway to the [medical]
system"
- Death-rates have been
more-or-less the same for
the past 5 years
- Coronavirus might not be
around by the time the
vaccine is ready for all
- Herd immunity has a bad
name [?]
Mental health crisis: "I'm
too frightened to go out,
I'm so scared"
by talkRADIO | Date
added: 12-Nov-20
This video features the
voice of a woman who has
been staying in her home
pretty much the whole time
since the "pandemic" hit;
it's heart-breaking to hear,
and sadly all too common.
I've sensed a similar belief
system from relatives of my
own, I get it from clients,
and I see it in the eyes of
strangers who look over
their mask at me not wearing
one. The Comments section of
this video however tells
more, here are some
snippets:
"Why so scared? This is what
happens when people are
loosing the plot."
"Yep, she's just one of
many, can you imagine how
many more there are that are
like this. She has been
brainwashed."
"The news got these people
frightened go
outside!!!???!"
"Media fueled psychological
abuse."
"She needs to turn off the
TV"
How to Read More Books
by WheezyNews | Date
added: 10-Nov-20
I
watched this Wheezy Wailter
video. In it he
talks about ways he reads more.
It was quite a long video,
including other
non-book-related-things so I
list here his points, and then
follow it with my own views.
11.48 - 27:12 #1 identify why you want to
read more
#2 read everywhere all the time
#3 don't be afraid to quit a
book
#4 read multiple books at a time
#5 make your bookshelf a living
thing
#6 have some easy books around
[#7 watch less youtube]
[#8 make time for reading]
Re.#1.
I
find that focusing attention
simply on "reading more" to be a
problem. Some people read masses
of books in a year, far more
than I have, and seem to
thoroughly enjoy it, but I find
it too passive. It likely works
well for novels, like films,
where you just move onto another
story, but for non-fiction where
I hope to learn something, not
so good. It is nice to get lost
in a book, but then to simply
move onto the next leads me to
forget what it was I just read
about. This is partly why I find
myself returning to books I read
some years ago; time has passed
and it's almost like I never
read it the first time. Also,
with my different mindset to
what it was the first time
around, I find new perspectives
and things that intrigue me. I
like to give myself time and the
opportunity to delve deeper into
those things, something that I
fail to do if I simply move onto
the next book.
Re.#2
Reading everywhere all the time
is all well and good (perhaps,
especially if it's a gripping
story you can't put down) but
it's those longer periods of
reading where I think you really
get to absorb yourself in a book
or topic. There are already
those things that limit our
ability to focus and distract
us, books, I think, can help us
combat this.
Re.#3
I
recognise and share
WheezyWaiter's point about
quitting a book; only a few
times have I done this, but I am
now a little more prepared to do
so if I really think I'm not
getting into a book and on that
I determine I feel I don't need
to read right now.
Re.#4/#6
Reading multiple books is made
possible and practical I think
when the books are of a
different type (such as a hard
one and an easy one), as per my
examples above. There is the
hard slog of Einstein's
Universe, all about technical
things like physics and
mathematics, then there is the
(hopefully) absorbing novel, the
ones that I intend to dip into
each day to get them read, and
even the project of "Brian
reads..." It's kind of like
watching a film (which ideally
you'd watch in a single
sitting), vs the TV shows you
tune into on different days of
the week, and the time you might
spend on Youtube watching random
stuff. There is also the present
book on my ebook reader which I
keep forgetting about.
Re.#5
Making your bookshelf a living
thing is a strange concept but I
have a couple of different "book
areas" in my home. I have the
books that I've read which line
two sides of my bedroom floor,
and then I have the stack of
books that I intend to read.
It's easy for the latter to
become stagnant with books I
thought I wanted to read (when I
ordered/acquired them) but then
I read others first, depending
on what takes my fancy when it
comes to choosing another book
to read. There is also my ebook
reader and a folder on my
computer of books to read, which
again can become cluttered with
stuff I'm no longer interested
in or forget I ever was).
#7
Avoiding distracting things
(like Youtube) is my input to
the whole topic of reading more.
I find I have to train myself to
switch off from computer stuff
and instead sit quietly with a
book for a length of time,
typically an hour or however
long it takes me to get through
a chapter of something. Anything
distracting, like trying to read
whilst in the same room as my
computer, or having a phone on,
will prevent book immersion.
#8
Through all of the above,
without setting a time for, or a
point in the day when you
actually sit down and read (or
do anything in particular that
you want to get done) will lead
to failure in my opinion. I
typically set the morning for my
Encyclopedia reading, whilst I
drink my morning cup of tea. In
the winter I like to switch off
from my computer in the evening
and instead sit in my lounge
with a fire going and read right
up until bed time. Lately I've
been sleeping in my tent most
nights, and some of those I take
my Lewis Carroll book in with me
and read a couple of chapters of
that by torch-light.
Why Facts Don't Change Our

25:33 Referring to article
by James Clear [link]
13:27 Separating people who
normally cooperate with one
another is a common tactic
of bad people.
17:22 I have thought about
the number of times I have
just [stayed] quiet, which
is not my nature; I speak
out when it's appropriate to
speak out...
18:53 When you have little
in common with people; a
dividing situation can bring
that to light.
20:11 There are people
[most?] who are persuadable
through repedition.
51:55 We have a lot of
people who are sill
listening, repeatedly, to
the bad message [while
others have] tuned out.
Tory rebels lambasts Hancock
for "micromanaging" people
with lockdown
by Parliamentarian | Date
added: 06-Nov-20
He speaks of "A failed
strategy" but is it?
Why are other countries also
attempting to
"micromanage" their people?
It's either global nonsense
or a global strategy, and
perhaps one that is working
well for the ones pulling
the strings.
Would You Drive This Mountain

I've watched a number of
this guy's videos. They make
for a change here from the
depressing topic of
current-day-events; he is
always cheerful and excited
by whatever adventure he
finds himself on (which
seems to be a daily
occurrence), and he's always
friendly and engaging with
the people he meets. His
encounters are a joy to
watch and experience with
him. Oh how I'd love to be
able to speak his Russian!
In this video he befriends a
soviet sink, which makes me
think of my Tamagotchis!
Relationships With Friends
and Family
by Pamela Popper | Date
added: 04-Nov-20
In this video Pamela
mentions her (co-authored)
book "Covid Operation" which
I'm sure would be an
insightful read, echoing a
lot of what she talks about
in her videos but (as I
suppose) includes the
references that her videos
lack. There have been a
number of such books
released on the topic, the
first I heard about was
David Icke's ('The
Answer' being his most
recent release) but also Vernon
Coleman (Coming
Apocalypse) has released on.
Video notes:
- Are you a " go along to get along person"?
- Masks can spread more germs if not worn properly
- The mask as talisman to keep people safe
- Not wanting to convince others of your point of view
- Disagreement without confrontation
