After getting to bed early last evening because my younger brother failed to arrive here until well after 9 p.m., I didn't manage too much sleep before finding myself awake enough again to be curious on the time early into the midnight hour, so I rose then on the chance that I might eventually be able to customize the three essential pages that I just recently discovered had been automatically published when I transferred an installation of WordPress via FileZilla to my new website and had it thereafter activated.
I never had that happen before ─ that is, I have never had WordPress automatically publish dummy or draft copies of the "About", "Privacy", and Terms & Conditions" pages upon activating the package, but that is clearly what occurred.
So at present when one visits my website Thai-Iceland.com, those three presently irrelevant pages are there for any visitor to access, for as yet I have not published any posts. Heck, I haven't even begun working on a post as yet ─ I have been wanting to revise those three dummy pages first, but I am not finding that I have the time to even do that.
When I rose early into the midnight hour last night, I found that my wife must have fairly recently arrived home, and my younger brother had just retired to his bedroom for the night. I felt obliged to socialize and otherwise be a presence for my wife for possibly an hour before she finally called it a night.
Then when I was able to do any work here at my computer, I busied myself with the day's post at my private blog.
By the time that was over with, I felt 'burned out' and no longer capable of doing anything constructive. But did I simply go to bed for needed sleep? Of course not.
And so it was after 5:30 a.m. (I hope that it wasn't really after 6:30 a.m.) before I finally turned from the completion of my self-abuse and sought vitally needed sleep.
Yet my day was to begin around 9:15 a.m., for that was the time when I found myself awake enough to be curious. My brother was already downstairs watching T.V. and drinking instant coffee.
I do not typically join him during the week until around 10 a.m., so I came here instead to my computer to deal with accumulated E-mails and whatnot.
When I soon thereafter did join my brother, I had in mind an 18-minute video that I had watched a couple or so days before that I felt he should see. There are a number of sources for it, so I will only link to this one at Global Research: Video: Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.: International Message for Freedom and Hope.
I had actually forwarded the video to a large number of people in my E-mail "Address Book" overnight when I was up, and gave the following message:
Due to Robert Kennedy’s condition of spasmodic dysphonia, I find myself unable to listen to him for very long, even though I recognize that at heart he’s ‘a good man’.
However, I did sit through this 18-minute video he put out on October 24 ─ not quite a week ago. Maybe it helped that the video has subtitles, for I found myself reading along and it really took the strain off trying to catch everything he was saying.
In the video, he is speaking out against the erosion of freedoms that is taking place throughout the world, all because of COVID-19 fears.I did some research about his claim concerning tuberculosis (TB) deaths, and TB Alliance.org does indeed say “TB is the leading infectious cause of death in the world, killing 1.4 million each year.”
By contrast, World O Meters.info says COVID-19 is responsible so far for over 200,000 fewer deaths than TB has killed.
Additionally, it’s common practice to list a death as a COVID death, as long as the person who died did so while infected with the virus ─ whether or not he or she was dying from something else.
Scroll down this list at World O Meters.info to the very bottom where you’ll find various running statistical updates on HEALTH.
Over 6.75 million people have died from cancer so far this year; over 4 million from smoking; over 2 million from alcohol ─ why haven’t our governments worldwide taken extreme measures to try and curb these far more deadly causes of death?
You now have to wear a face mask to shop for groceries nearly everywhere, but you can buy all the booze you want without question or restriction even though it’s caused more deaths that the COVID virus.
Why aren’t there regulations in place to protect us from the known causes and contributors of cancer? Why aren’t the culpable businesses being forced to close that sell products that are known to contribute to cancer?
No, but innocent businesses everywhere are suffering because of lockdowns, shutdowns, and crippling distancing restrictions that are being imposed and enforced out of fear of a virus that is far less dangerous than cancer, alcohol, or smoking.
Something is truly out of whack with all of this COVID fuss and fury. It's beyond irrational.
Robert Kennedy talked about a newsletter or something his organization is offering, but he never said what it was ─ I think that it's probably The Defender, if you're interested.
I was actually somewhat reluctant to impose the video onto my brother, for I had begun to lose my sense of its weight and importance. However, once the presentation got underway, I could see that he was interested in it and that his interest grew ─ and so did my appreciation of the speech. In fact, I actually found the video to be more impactful than when first I viewed it.
However, the E-mail I sent out went to at least 51 different people, yet not one of them replied back with any comment whatsoever.
I now hear my wife home downstairs at 6:03 p.m., so I am going to have to conclude my post. She has not yet worked this week, so she has been home a lot ─ and is primarily responsible for why I have been unable to have any spare time to work on my website.
Maybe tonight. I will be getting to bed early again, for my brother bused away to hook up with some of his drinking buddies at the Green Timbers Pub. This has become a weekly event, and he will not likely be home until well past 9 p.m., if not even beyond 10 p.m.
I think that I am going to celebrate and watch some T.V. while enjoying some beer.
