ARE WE PUSHING SHIT UPHILL?

Over the past decade I have been suspended, blocked, banned, or shadow banned by many of the mainstream social media and blogging platforms including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Medium, and Mastodon. And I’ve been black listed on blockchain sites like Steemit & Hive. The few remaining ones I was allowed to post on uncensored have […]

REVERTING TO BLOGGER

The irony of this is not lost on me – after a decade of avoiding Google I’m now going to start posting on Google owned Blogger again because this WordPress blog is still  getting very little traffic since Google black listed it back in 2016, and I’ve become disillusioned with blockchain sites like Steemit, Hive, […]

WHY AM I POSTING VIDEOS ON BITCHUTE?

As a blogger who doesn’t make even make videos and sometimes blogs about what a poor form of communication most videos are, having a Bitchute channel was not exactly an obvious choice. It all stemmed from the problem of posting links to videos in my blog posts only to have them disappear with YouTube’s constant […]

MY TAKE ON CAMERAS

BLOGGING IN 2023

Back in 2020 during the great New Zealand coronahoax lockdown I used to make a point of getting outside and going for a walk every day, and I also spent a lot of time chilling out at empty beaches on days when the weather was OK. As a result of that I not only got […]

CYCLE SERVICES – THE NEWSLETTERS

GIVE ME CYCLE SERVICES NEWSLETTERS! The original Cycle Services Newsletters are all still online HERE – but this is going to be one huge blog post with the whole lot,  just because modern searching tends to favour having a truckload of stuff on one webpage, and we don’t give a toss about bandwidth anymore, so […]

THE OLD FROT PORTAL HAS BEEN RETIRED

It’s been around since the dark ages and most of the websites it links to are out of date. Like Gordon Ramsey updating a menu, it’s time to ditch all that old stuff and go simple. These links do still go to the archived sites, but as part of the site update, everything has been […]
