Corruption in the Big Picture

Once my brother was home well into the latter evening yesterday, eventually I resolved to use our Android TV Box to play an episode each of three of the T.V. series we have begun to fall behind in keeping up with.

First was Big Little Lies ─ the premiere episode ("What Have They Done?") of season two. I was not sure my brother would retain consciousness, or even be able to follow the rather disjointed episode, but he said nothing contrary about it.

Then I tuned in an episode of Chicago Fire ─ episode 13 ("Fire Cop") of season 10. This likely did a better job of holding his attention.

The final series would have been the easiest to keep him interested, so undoubtedly this was the best sequence. It was Chicago P.D. ─ episode 14 ("Blood Relation") of season nine. With the awful ending that one had, I was nearly certain that he would request a second episode, but he did not. He was more geared towards winding down our viewing, so I just tuned in some random YouTube music-related videos.

Overall, I drank two cans of Cariboo Malt (8% alcohol) and two shots of Kraken Black Spiced Rum (47%). I do not recall exactly when I got to bed, but it was definitely after 2 a.m. And I was threatened with the development of some vertigo once the lights were out.

My morning began well ahead of 8:30 a.m., but my brother and I did not get together for more T.V. until I joined him around 9:10 a.m. He cannot seem to resist watching the pap that purports to be Canadian morning news programmes, and I cannot stomach looking at the lying cowards who feed the public health lies because they are ordered to and no longer have the integrity to balk from participating in the medical tyranny.

Quite appropriately, the first video I used our Android TV Box to tune in was a 54-minute (54:54) addition yesterday to Rumble's Children's Health Defense Canada channel: Rodney Palmer - Former CBC Investigative Journalist Exposes Corruption in the Big Picture.

Rodney Palmer is a Former CBC Investigative Journalist who has been exposing corrupt practices of the mainstream news sources in the Big Picture series produced by CHD. He also testified twice at the National Citizen's Inquiry which are well worth watching and sharing. See the links below.

Health Canada Covid Stats; https://health-infobase.canada.ca/covid-19/vaccine-safety/ As Rodney indicated you'll need to scroll quite a ways down the page to find the reporting of 455 deaths*.

*Please also keep in mind the gross underreporting of adverse events due to the complicated process of reporting and the political ramifications doctors experience by simply filing a report. In September 2022 the number of deaths from unknown causes was over ten times the same month the previous year amounting to over 3500 deaths from unknown causes which excludes death from Covid as you can be sure they would have counted it as such if they could in 2022.

Although I expect that none of my Facebook 'Friends' will bother watching the interview, I am going to post it there anyway.

We only watched one further video, and it was at YouTube's ANCIENT ROME channel, was 55 minutes long, and had been uploaded back on August 7, 2014: Rome In The 1st Century - Episode 4: Years Of Eruption (ANCIENT HISTORY DOCUMENTARY).

Nero’s death in 68 AD ended the Augustan dynasty and left Rome without a ruler. The empire descended into civil war as generals fought each other for the throne.

Vespasian was one of Rome’s top generals and was fighting Jewish rebels in Judaea. But he realized that he had as much claim to the throne as any other general. Encouraged by his soldiers, he suspended the war and marched on Rome.

Rome became a battlefield in which around 50,000 people were killed. At the end, Vespasian was emperor. But he lacked authority. He knew he needed a foreign victory to secure his throne.

He turned his attention back to Judaea. By 70 AD, the last Jewish rebels had retreated to the walled city of Jerusalem. After a long siege, the walls crumbled and the rebels fled to the temple. The Romans burned it to the ground, killing everyone inside.

Back in Rome, this great victory brought in a new age of confidence and optimism. Vespasian also started a massive building program. This included early work on what would become the Coliseum – a huge amphitheater for games and gladiators, the movie stars of ancient Rome.

In 79 AD, the Romans suffered a double blow: Vespasian died and Pompeii was swallowed up by the ash and mud of Mount Vesuvius. A witness to both these events was Pliny the Younger. His uncle commanded the fleet around Naples and died at Pompeii, a victim of his own curiosity.

Pliny the Younger became a senior adviser to Vespasian’s second son, Domitian. It was a difficult balance, because Pliny was an honorable man and Domitian was a tyrant in the worst traditions of Caligula and Nero.

Like them, Domitian’s rule was cut short. He was murdered by a group that included his own wife. Rome was again in the hands of the generals.

This time they chose not to fight, but rather to work together and choose a new emperor. They chose Trajan, a Spanish-born Senator and general.

It was a bold move, but very successful. With trusted advisers, such as Pliny the Younger, Trajan expanded the Roman Empire to its greatest size and launched public works, tax relief and a child welfare program. His reign turned the Roman Empire into a multicultural global society that's still relevant today, 2,000 years later.

We had already watched the previous three episodes, but I doubt anything will 'stick' with me.

My wife rose fairly early, and surprised me by announcing that she had to work today. Normally she has Wednesdays off.

However, late in the afternoon when I was having some light exercise in my absentee brother's bedroom, I came forth to discover that she was home. She had only needed to work from the Thai restaurant's 11 a.m. opening to its 3 p.m. afternoon closure (it reopens at 4:30 p.m. following that 1½-hour daily break).

I found her busy in the kitchen and clearly disinclined to talk, so I had my scheduled bath.

Anyway, after three evenings for me of sitting up late watching T.V. with my brother because I had undertaken evening five-mile+ walks and was thus spared having to undergo any in the wee a.m., that is now temporarily over. I will be retiring relatively early this evening so that I can rise at 1:30 a.m. to ready for a walk that ought to see me on my way ahead of 2 a.m.

Incidentally, my wife did prove far more communicative following my bath. She was actually rather pleasant company. I didn't even mind that she had ensconced herself at the dining table to amuse herself with videos and such on her smartphone where ─ out of courtesy on my part ─ I felt obliged to refrain from turning on the T.V. to watch anything.

She has to work the latter part of the day tomorrow, so I can do my thing with the T.V. then.

I also limited myself to just one can of Cariboo Malt. I think that I should sleep reasonably well.
