That pronouncement was made on December 13, and is made near the end of this 1½-hour upload to Rumble: COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine Accountability Roundtable.
Over the past three or so days, I have been finding that my favourite Android TV Box streaming app, BeeTV, has not been functioning. VIVA can be a weak secondary to BeeTV, but even it is not functioning ─ nor is TeaTV. One or two others that I have downloaded into my Android TV Box are also useless.
Apparently the sources for these apps may be getting targeted by the Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment (ACE) and the Motion Picture Association (MPA), and the owners of the apps are running scared, shutting down their website bases.
Although I may have a specific app, it does not really 'exist' within my Android TV Box. All I have is ─ more or less ─ a sort of dashboard or remote control panel to the guts of the app that actually exist online elsewhere.
So when that ultimate base closes shop, my app or control panel suddenly becomes useless. It is no longer connected to anything.
Consequently, I suppose that I will wait a month or two to learn if any of the apps get resuscitated; and if they do not, or if I meantime learn that any are gone for good, then I will uninstall them.
Meantime, I suppose that I need to find and download a few alternatives that still do work, but which I expect are going to be inferior. However, many of the T.V. episodes and movies I will want to watch are still available at the website sources that the apps I had been using would scour for link sources. For instance, last evening I tuned in episode 13 ("Chapter Thirteen: The Passion of Sabrina Spellman") of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina at a source I located at the top of the first search results that I found using the Yandex search engine. Forget using anything like Google, for it will not be much help in finding sources for T.V. shows and movies ─ Google is huge on censorship.
So I still got to watch the episode on T.V., thanks to browser apps that I have downloaded into my Android TV Box.
Before my younger brother arrived home well into the latter evening yesterday ─ busing home from a pub he had bused to in order to hook up with one or more of his drinking buddies ─ I watched something very different for me: Maria by Callas.
It was nearly two hours in duration, but I had already watched better than half of it a few days ago.
If at all interested, you can find the documentary at present for free on BitChute at this link.
I know nearly nothing about opera, nor its stars. I just happen to have been exposed to various of their names since I was a very young man, if not even a teen (I am 73 now). So despite having an acquaintance of many years standing with the name "Maria Callas", I knew nothing of her.
What inspired me to give the documentary a shot was due to how much I enjoyed John Thaw's version of the fictional character Inspector Morse. Apparently even John appreciated and enjoyed opera ─ as to some extent does the actor playing his sidekick Lewis, Kevin Whately.
It is time at long last that I expose myself more than I have to such fine an art as opera.
As for Maria Callas, I was quite surprised to discover in the documentary that before Aristotle Onassis rather suddenly married Jacqueline Kennedy, he was heavily involved romantically with Maria Callas for some years, and she was stunned when he jilted her like he did.
Good Lord, where does the time go! Already I must wrap up this post, so I had best hasten to conclude it.
My brother and I retired extra late last night ─ for me, it may have been near 2 a.m. Yet my wife had not yet arrived home following her full day working at the Thai restaurant where she is employed part-time. We have separate bedrooms, but they are adjacent; yet I never heard her after she arrived.
She would have been partying. And I have just checked online and discovered that last night she apparently withdrew $1,908.70 at the casino near where she works ─ she is addicted to gambling, and has now essentially blown her just-deposited paycheque.
And she expects to be making a two-month trip to Rome (Italy) in January to visit a sister of hers who lives there?
Well, not with any financial help from me!
Somehow this morning she got herself up at 9:30 a.m., but I see now why she was so taciturn when she finally came downstairs to hustle off on her fairly long drive to put in another day at the restaurant.
How on Earth can she feel li8ke working when she has absolutely nothing to show for it? And the monthly mortgage is due on the 22nd.
It is all I can do right now to not inform her two sons about what I discovered concerning her waste last night.
Changing topics, the day has been foggy and wickedly chilly out there. My brother and I did not spend the morning watching T.V. together, for after he left to pick up his girlfriend Bev at 10 a.m. to drive her to work, he was not returning. Instead, he had plans to drive south into Washington State to pay a visit to his daughter, Rene (Irene).
She has lived there for many years, and had her 29th birthday this past November. She lives on some acreage with her boyfriend where they have something of an animal farm ─ a few horses, at least one donkey or mule, maybe a couple or so goats, some fowl (I believe), and whatever else.
With him absent this morning, I thought that I would get much accomplished today, but I wasted the morning fussing and researching about Android TV Box apps.
I had better close this post here ─ I am expending far too much time that I no longer have free. I need to turn my attention to my Android TV Box and find working apps for it.
