Censorhip and Propaganda

It might have been just past 9:30 p.m. last evening when I got to bed, my cellphone alarm set for 1:30 a.m.

When that alarm chimed, I rather eagerly arose ─ it does pay off by not drinking any alcohol the evening prior to one of my planned five-mile+ walks.

However, although my wife had come home and gone to bed following her full workday at the Thai restaurant where she works part-time, her eldest son was back after being away since early Friday afternoon when he and some friends travelled to Tacoma for some reason.

Or so had claimed my younger brother on Saturday.

Notwithstanding the 29-year-old's presence, he was seated out of sight at the dining table downstairs, so I was able to slip away unnoticed as far as I know.

I had first weighed myself fully clothed, but sans a jacket: somewhere from 183 - 184 pounds.

It was 2 a.m. once I was outside the locked front door and on my way. The sky was still overcast, so visibility was quite good.

I made my usual stop at the nearby elementary school playground three or so blocks from here, and quite surprised myself by adding a repetition in the second set of pull-ups I typically engage.

So: 8-3-3-3-2-2.

The equipment was perfectly dry, too. The pull-ups were the first two sets, then two middle sets of chin-ups, and finally two sets of pull-ups between a pair of gymnastics-style rings ─ I held the very final rings pull-up for a 35-count, although I did count to 40 to ensure I did not count too quickly.

I finished up with 14 full-range decline push-ups on a cement ramp, and found myself vocalizing loudly in striving to achieve the 14th of them.

I swear, the strain of this exercise stop makes me wonder if I am risking my life; but at the age of 74, if I do not push myself as I do, there is no hope of recovering lost ground if I lay off for any extended period. My best bet is just to try and be rested for these outings, and not hungover.

Despite how pleased I was to have increased my totals by yet one more pull-up, that deep satisfaction was somewhat tempered with the full realization that I may now find myself saddled with expectation ─ I have inadvertently set myself a new standard that I just may not manage to attain.

It took me the good-weather months when I was able to exercise without a jacket to achieve this personal record, but such nighttime warmth is becoming less likely ─ I can remember Septembers when we have had frost. Once I have to begin exercising regularly in jackets, I will have to surrender hopes of achieving my present norms ─ and that will be the situation for the ensuing half year.

There was nothing much worth reporting concerning the walk thereafter, and I was back home at the locked front door exactly two hours later ─ 4 a.m. Excellent time!

I may have made it back to bed by 5:45 a.m.

Morning for me was to commence (I believe) somewhat ahead of 8:30 a.m. And since my brother never emerged from his bedroom until something like 9:40 a.m., I already had full control of the T.V. through our Android TV Box.

My wife rose soon after my brother, but managed to be ready to be on her way by 10:10 a.m. at latest for another full workday.

When my brother joined me, I had been watching women's MMA matches on YouTube via the SmartTube app that I have downloaded into our Android TV Box, so he had to watch the match I was into until its three rounds were done.

Then I tuned in a 24-minute (24:21) video published two days ago at Rumble's AnitaKrishna channel: What Happens to Facebook Jail? Zuckerberg admits censorship.

Mark Zuckerberg admits in official statement to congressman Jim Jordan that he was pressured to censor Covid 19 information from the Biden administration. I'm sharing some clips and my thoughts on Facebook and the disease of sharing too much.

That was followed by Odessa Orlewicz's 44-minute (44:13) video published yesterday: Clips Only Shortened Version: UBC Canada Chief Scientific Officer Warns Of Mainstream News Propaganda And The Danger Re: MPOX, Covid & HPV Vaccines!!

This is the short version of just clips from the 90 minute full interview which you can find here: https://rumble.com/v5dfmys-ubc-canada-chief-scientific-officer-warns-of-danger-re-mpox-covid-and-hpv-v.html Interview with Dr. Steven Pelech who is a full Professor in the Department of Medicine (Division of Neurology) at the University of British Columbia (UBC), where he has been on faculty since 1988, and currently serves on the UBC Vancouver Senate. He holds B.Sc. Honours (1979) and Ph.D. (1982) degrees in Biochemistry from UBC. His post-doctoral training was at the University of Dundee with Sir Philip Cohen, and at the University of Washington in Seattle with Nobel laureate Dr. Edwin Krebs. He was the founder and president of Kinetek Pharmaceuticals Inc. (1992 to 1998), and the founder, president and chief scientific officer of Kinexus Bioinformatics Corporation (1999 to present). He has authored over 260 scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals and books about cell signalling system important in the pathology of cancer, diabetes, neurological and immunology-related diseases. Since the beginning of 2021, Dr. Pelech was one of the founders of the Canadian Citizens Care Alliance, and serves as its vice-president and the co-chair of its Scientific and Medical Advisory Committee.

I wish that I had instead tuned in the full-length interview ─ I don't much like seeing a video so constantly and obviously chopped up.

However, at least in watching this abbreviated version, I thereafter had time for my brother and I to watch the third part of a movie I had previously downloaded onto a flash or thumb drive. We had watched the first two parts ─ each part is something like 55 minutes ─ a couple or so months ago, it seems. Maybe we'll finish up by watching the final part tomorrow ─ I will wait until we have seen the entire movies before reporting on it.

This brought us to noon, so my brother repaired to his bedroom for some further rest. I had a meal, but did not yet seek my nap when he again emerged from his bedroom and then left for the day ─ on foot, for he would be busing.

By this time the overcast morning saw marked clearing. Perhaps I might have attempted some afternoon sunning, but today is a bath day, and I cannot spare an afternoon to include sunning and blogging on a bath day ─ especially one that I intend to involve a latter evening walk to entitle me to sit up late and have a couple of brews while enjoying some T.V. once my brother and I are both back home.

Early in the evening I had declined such that I actually had to lie down in darkness for possibly a half hour before being able to confront that bath.

And once it was done and I had dried off and spruced up, I felt in need of a little boost that further rest might not provide ─ not how I was feeling, at least.

So I tuned in Magnum P.I. here on my beside computer ─ episode 18 ("Extracurricular Activities") of final series season five.

Danged if it wasn't another good one! But a can each of Cariboo Malt (8% alcohol) and Bumper Crop cider (7% alcohol) helped with that. Natheless, I would love to see a while lot more of Perdita Weeks ─ what a magnificent babe that young British woman is!

If interested, I watched the episode at this link at website M4uHD.net ─ who knows if the website will remain online with the offerings they have?

It is now 8:44 p.m., so I must ready and be away.
