Left Falsebook a yr. ago last Oct. after having joined in ’09. Only go to VK, now. Never have Tweeted, Instagram, etc. Don’t trust most of these sites.
bugger off. the informed need to be on social media the most. or else all those on it will be easier to program and be here4ded like sheep BUGGER OFF ahole
Permanently deleted FB and Insta (the only 2 I was connected to) about a year ago.
The difficulty lies in the fact that most people I know connect via these apps, so you’re actually less connected to your social group than before the platforms existed.
Well worth it though – slavery to Zuckerbergs propaganda machine and the like is a pretty miserable state of being.
Another negative worth mentioning is that you become aware of just how captured people are. Somewhat depressing when you realise that we never had a hope in hell of a sensible Covid response (or any future “crisis”) when people are so entrenched they can’t have a single original thought. In short – I genuinely think the world is f***ed beyond repair.
Social media are for people who need a psycho crutch in order to maintain self esteem. I’m into it for the ‘likes’ of me they should, but wont admit. It’s a con. It’s not the poster who is liked. It’s their comment. Often times it’s the comment that is drop-dead gorgeous whereas the poster probably has a face like a bent sandshoe and a personality to match.
I should. But it’s the last thing that connects me to the outside world. It’s quite a big step. But I should.
Unless you require it for business, then bin it. At the very least, turn it off and don’t carry it when not doing business.
If this device is the only connection you have to outside you are a lost cause. Fully programmed and ready to milk.
Try using one of those old fashioned devices- TELEPHONE
Unless an opposition to the Great Reset and our captured governments is organized, it doesn’t frigging matter other than personally. This is like talking about fixing the light on your car because it isn’t running well. Solution watch my ass.
But it is sites like Fuckerberg’s Fake Book that have driven the plandemic. They should be vilified for their evil. Their censorship of clot shot injury defnitely led to lots of death because the uninformed embraced the poison pricks.
“There is no Climate Emergency” trending on UK twitter.
WEF’s “Global Intelligence Collecting AI” to Erase Ideas from the Internet
Naughty GETTR posts? Say bye-bye to your TWITTER account
“This sounds like an insane conspiracy theory from hell: WEF collecting information on everyone everywhere, and then telling all platforms what posts to remove, based on a global decision-making AI engine that sees everything and can identify individual people and ideas beyond any given platform.
If someone ever told me that it would be contemplated, I would probably think that this person is insane. It sounds like a sick technological fantasy or a far-fetched conspiracy theory. Unfortunately, this crazy stuff is real, is in a WEF agenda proposal that is officially posted on their website’s “WEF Agenda” section.”
Getting rid of all social media accounts for me, is almost up there with giving up alcohol and tobacco in terms of the positive effect it has had on my life. If I could go without a mobile phone (I gave up the “smart”phone a couple of years ago) and without the internet, then I’m pretty sure my life would be even better. For certain, the less I use the internet, the more I actually achieve and the better I feel. I knew instinctively that mobile phones would spell trouble for society when they arrived en masse, but I genuinely need one for work now. When I retire, I’ll get rid of it.
Corporations are making it harder and harder to function without a mobile phone – for example the verification to become an Ebay seller is by mobile phone only.
Their complaints’ pages are full of people objecting to it but they don’t care.
The governments are even worse. Bank transfers are made only after you confirm the codes sent to your phone. And the charges for the damned radioactive things are quite high.
Back in March 2022, Ebay changed it policy’s, For any one to sell anything. They Ebay Must have your photo I.D sent to them via email. i.e passport, driving licence etc and of course they may even want to verify you further to keep ebay safe yawn via other means like a face to face call.
I agree with you. But I shut off my cell during non working hours plus I put a sticker in front of camera lens. These are surveillance devices and even though I’m not a criminal, my business belongs to me and NOT the government. I also purchased a magic jack device and connected a telephone to that device. I now enjoy picking up the phone and having conversations with close friends and family. And lastly, Facebook sucks
I wholly believe that if we all stopped buying cellphones, our governments would issue us one for free. The devices are critical to their agendas.
Yes, in one form or another, critical. You will be your phone.

The internet and all platforms have, in one way or another, started from the services – this is the verifiable history. I hope no one thinks that the services only invented them and left them in the hands of “independent” businessmen. Just before the threshold of” universal online connectivity in a purely information space ” there should be no doubt. “Digital inequality”, the fact that many still do not have access to the goods of the digital space, is a great scourge according to all responsible factors and stakeholders and a major problem that they have set themselves to solve. We all have to be connected. (For our own good.:) ) But, because this is the subject, and we are on a British website, and your boy – Eric Arthur Blair – has given the symbol of the dystopian observant society through “1984”; besides, he is definitely not insignificant, with… Read more »
Dates actually have meaning to the power elite. They fly under the radar, but they are interesting.
For example, the original flood stories include a sacrifice made to the gods as the first action when they leave the boat. This is depicted in the southern constellations.
The sacrifice is made by Centaur, who is spearing a dog. Important because dogs symbolize their own people.
The date for the sacrifice is 9/11, and it also happens to be the original crucifixion date. In fact, Centaur is the only place in the constellations where the Christ is actually crucified on the cross, as the “southern cross” constellation sits within Centaur.
Another example is 4/17, which was the original Christian new year, and is where April Fools comes from. Fools because the Jewish new year began on the fall equinox.
Dates actually have meaning to the power elite. I know, but I said it on purpose to trick skeptics into taking an interest.:) For me, birthdays are very important. My grandmother turned 90 today. Her memory is already gone, but otherwise she remembers 3 different modes that have changed during her life in my little country. She’s in pretty good shape, by the way, she has a good gene, and she grew up in a village until her 17th year, eating natural products, etc.N. From a very young age, she looked after and was responsible for the life and health of her four younger brothers and sisters, then 3 children, 6 grandchildren… I thought of Sophie – Admin1, and she constantly has to take care of the comments, keep things within normal limits, watch and make remarks to naughty users. Why did she have to get involved, couldn’t you have… Read more »
We’ve been at war with Bolsheviks a long time, the sheep will not wake, as they’ve been conditioned that their persecutors are harmless victims. There are now, very few places online one can openly speak the truth, without being censored and threatened.
The fire this time will ravage the sheep like nothing in history. communities.win/c/nonewnormal
Okay, I confess, I have Facebook. Yes, I know; I can almost hear a few groans out there. And yes, I’ve had Telegram installed twice, and although it seems a better platform than FB, I found that having Telegram really ate up my phone data, and was costing me a fair bit of dosh $$$ having to buy phone credit more often. And I know first hand all about the blatant censorship, restrictions and bans on Facebook. So why have it? Because I’ve connected with some really interesting people in countries like Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Colombia, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Turkey, Russia, Latvia, just to name some of the countries my Facebook “friends” come from. And because I find, or am often sent, really good information that I probably wouldn’t see here at Offguardian. So unless people can offer up any suggestions on viable alternatives to Facebook, I’ll probably be… Read more »
I have an innate distrust of organisations like Farcebook and Twatter and have never had an account with either of them. Any company that employs an ex deputy prime minister is bound to be suspect and especially one who’s political party facilitated the twelve years of mess the UK is now suffering from. I view these organisations alongside the Murdoch empire that encompasses Sky Television (to which I also would not subscribe) after the way he employed ‘journalists’ to hack the phone of the murder victim, Millie Dowler, leading her parents to believe she was still alive.
Thanks, S. for reminding of the absolutely despicable behavior of the Merdochians …how low can one go? And for what?
You got three down votes for your comment by three people who no way will drop their social media (like OffG).
Its just too lucrative i assume – selling books and the like. But that’s just my “inner asshole” isn’t it?
My first thought when I read your comment (and no, I most certainly did not downvote it) was: How do you know these people are where they say they are? But at any rate it’s kind of like, in the old days, having a “Pen Pal” in another country.
And though I refuse to have anything to do with Facebook, I do miss out on some things I wish I had access to. My Homeowners’ community has a Facebook page; and I’d very much like to participate. But then, it’s moderated by someone who removes anything she doesn’t agree with.
There’s no getting around it: human society on any level is a double edged sword. It seems like we’re damned if we associate with other people; damned if we don’t.
I think that’s the most downvotes I’ve ever had for one of my comments here, however after what I’ve been through the last 2.5 years, and compared to what is coming, it’s quite pathetic these people haven’t even got the guts to explain why. Yes, I know about Facebook and perhaps it shows how dumb I am, but I opened my account in May 2020 when Melbourne was in a harsh lockdown, and I wanted to connect with other people from around the world to end the sense of isolation I felt. I will never apologise for that. Yes Howard, I’m very aware there are fake profiles on Facebook. And I’m very aware it’s monitored by the Powers That Be, just as Offguardian and other genuine alternative sites are all being monitored. And people who comment on those sites will be monitored. With the technology they already have, do you… Read more »
Let me just add that, yes absolutely, these “social media” platforms are no more intrusive than anything else on the internet. As you suggest, it’s absurd to think that as long as someone hasn’t given Mr. Z his personal information he’s home free.
As long as there’s an NSA spying on us, recording and saving our every keystroke, ANY incursion into the internet is a peep show for the psychos.
A few years back – even before all the hullaballoo over “privacy” – I anonymously accessed a Literary Magazine. It amazed me when, a short while later, I received an email from the Magazine, informing me that just by accessing their site they obtained my URL (or whatever it is). They weren’t trying to harass me – just to inform me. Believe me, that was an eye-opener.
Thanks Howard… You made a good point about anyone accessing the internet anyway, especially anti establishment sites, or even, gasp! things like Literary Magazine! Cheers.
You do alot of good gezzah on this site with your knowledge and insights ignore the downvotes probably shills anyway.👍
Thanks Annie, I had a rough day yesterday and was feeling extra sensitive when I saw those downvotes. Let’s just say the economy here in Australia is going down the tubes (as the cabal have planned) and a lot of people here are obviously cutting back on their spending, including buying the magazine. I talk to small business people, cafe owners, etc and some of them are doing it very tough. Have a good and positive weekend Annie…
Hi Gezzah – seems that some people want to tell you how to live YOUR life…
Keep doing what you want to do mate, and sod those that think they know better.
All strength to you.
I wouldn’t worry about the downvotes. As Patrick L pointed out – and I have tested it myself – it’s possible for one person to vote more than once on a single post. Having said that, I have never viewed Facebook as a place for genuine expression of opinion. It was always a “low-brow” platitude spouting center which is OK for local sentiments. And the majority of people I know on it agree with me. I would guess that over half of FB is taken up with “inspirational” messages, totally unfunny stabs at humour, occasional flexing of muscle of the “Don’t Underestimate Me!” type, and obsessive cataloguing of dismally mundane minutiae. Indeed, I have a friend (the one I nearly fell out with over covid) who spends his time bitching about vacuities on FB but who, in his very bitching, reveals that he spends so much time on this medium. He… Read more »

from the hideous guardian “Earlier this week, Spider-Man actor Tom Holland announced he would be stepping away from social media as he had found it was “detrimental” to his mental health. In a video posted to his Instagram account, which has 67 million followers, the 26-year-old said: “I find Instagram and Twitter to be overstimulating, to be overwhelming. I get caught up and I spiral when I read things about me online and ultimately it’s very detrimental to my mental state. So I decided to take a step back and delete the app.” Other stars including Selena Gomez, Ed Sheeran, Camila Cabello and Demi Lovato have also taken themselves off social media for their mental health. On Sunday, 72-year-old British actor Robert Lindsay announced he was intending to spend less time on Twitter, after his son told him it was “affecting my daily life, thoughts and imaginings”. “He’s right of course and… Read more »

well, according to Pew Research, 7% of adult americans don’t use the internet. 3% do not have a TV. This no-TV number has to be higher in New England because about 20% of the persons I know do not have a TV.
As regards the hateful structure of social media, I felt this in my bones from day one back in the early 90s. The fatigue it gave was just out of this world.. extraordinary. I do think one tiny (but seemingly huge) step would be to eliminate all numbers as for example the way “Wrench in the Gears” and a few other smaller sites I visit have done. This seems like the very least thing to be done to weaken the feedback loop.
About the only solution is going cold turkey.
Problem with that solution is that they keep giving it to you, unless you can find a place where you can truly live off the grid. Hard to find such a place. Maybe somewhere in the middle of the Ocean or in a tiny corner of your room that 5G has not been able to cover.
Here’s some good commentary:
http://www.zephaniah.eu/index_htm_files/The%20Enemy%20has%20a%20Plan%20and%20Man%20has%20None.pdf
Back during WW2 a lot of work went into intercepting and decoding enemy (German) communications. Although the historical spotlight has always been on message decoding (Enigma etc.) a rather less spectacular but very effective tool was also used. This tool — “traffic analysis” — used the nature and volume of messages to determine the disposition and likely actions of German forces without the need to actually read the content of their messages. This tool was so powerful that it remained highly classified for some time after the efforts of the codebreakers proper leaked out. Social media is primarily traffic analysis carried out on a massive scale. Since we, “the people”, are not an organized military with its rituals and pro-forma messages our social media platforms provide us with the tools to generate the traffic and so learn a great deal about us, both as individuals and groups. This is very… Read more »
The real problem is that information distribution is not symmetric.. They know a lot about us, but we know and can now nothing about them. Military secrets foreign affair secrets, spy secrets, technical secrets, social secrets, political secrets. etc.. Government operates in secret.. if everything the people did and do who operate the fictitious entities (governments, corporations, partnerships, trusts, etc) were as well known to us, in the same level of detail as they know about us, most likely we, the governed, would not tolerate them. They don’t tolerate us, they use us.
Knowledge asymmetry between the private sector and the public sector and between private sector and commercial sector is sufficient to give those in the know complete control over those who are in the dark.
After all people are programmed from birth to death by the information contained in experience.
The elites know our real history, shape of the earth, have cures for cancer etc, real physics(not this Einsteinian nonsense), they create reality via staged events, manage wars behind the scenes, know how to harness free energy and probably know when the next cataclysm is coming, which might be soon. Perhaps that’s why they want to kill off most of us when they go underground so they can come back up and continue ruling unopposed. Like Bacon said, knowledge is power. Most importantly they may be getting close or arrived at immortality or have figured out how to live centuries instead of decades. It’s not crazy to think they switch out bodies and become young again. Maybe that’s why they’re so patient with their generational plans.
You remind us all that the best way to discredit an idea is to take it to farcical extremes. Timely reminder.
There’s almost nothing that needs to be known about “Them” beyond the fact that they are almost unimaginably greedy, amoral bastards.
I think the people at the very top of the heirarchy are not motivated by money. They have all the money in the world and they create it out of thin air. They want to break their biological chains and become Gods. In fact, they will expend great sums in order to put harmful ideas into the minds of the masses. They want nothing less than a breakaway civilization where they become superior life forms and bring in a neo feudal society
User-content driven message boards (often given the snazzy pseudo-mystical marketing term ‘social media’ rather than the more realistically pragmatic ‘community notice board’) are neither good nor bad. It’s just thinking that makes them so.
To extrapolate on a paraphrasion of The Bard.
Debatable. Much. What you quote of the Bard makes sense in a passive context. But the Internet was developed by DARPA with much clearly driven by “ex” Nazi scientists’ import input, remembering too that Watson and IBM did the punch cards for the 3rd Reich.
Did much change, here, under the 4th Reich?
It may have got worse. “Only thinking makes it so” makes sense if it were a natural platform in any way, but it was designed as a “defensive” weapon. We “pays our money and takes our choices” -or chances- whenever we hop on it, and long as we stay on it.
Intriguing analysis.
The platform is, of course, entirely passive.
The ‘input’ is from natural active persons.
Hence it is about ‘thinking that makes it so’ (providing the platform it’s active data field)
Indeed as you ascertain it is the data collation/manipulation that has the potential to be wielded as a weapon or a mendicant.
But data is not knowledge and knowledge isn’t wisdom. Wisdom requires the meditative reflection of thinking about so and such.
Compost, as a mulch, feeds the garden soil and smothers the weeds.
Its a community notice board with a 24/7/365 record of who posts on it, looks at it and what and how long they’re reading it for. In isolation — effectively useless. Aggregated over a large number of people — you can get a very good idea about the character and habits of the board users. You may have seen on TV stories that feature amateur or professional detectives that have a large notice board with likely suspects, witnesses or whoever on it. You may have also noticed that there might be lines between the various people to denote types of link. The goal is to deduce connections between people by looking at the ‘big picture’. Now imagine this scaled up by a few mission times and imagine that you have tools, both automated and manual, to visualize and categorize those connections. You can start to play God because you’ve learned… Read more »

If the moguls of the media matrix are having 2nd thoughts about the long term benefits of their mind-bending global beasts, they can always program in to the overarching superstructure something like aversion therapy for the addicts, like an electric shock after an hour of uninterrupted feral twittering. Incremental. Thinking back on how well those crusades went with Big Smokes (or Big Pharma, for all that) why will I not hold my breath? At least I gave up smokes, so I’m a step ahead of the game in breaths. I’ve only used Twitter, ever, when I simply *have* to see a grand slam by my Dodgers, or similar. Gave up on Facebook after a few weeks, 10 years ago, once I saw all the unwarranted interconnectedness and all the creepy bells and whistles. All of the churches here use it, and everyone else, which is gnarly, socially. For real. There… Read more »
That’s a point right there., and some talk of personal choice and freedom to chose etc etc.
One problem being only a few actually talked then, only a few actually talk now.
It would appear to be a mission to reduce ourselves, no longer individuals but labels and tags. Proclamations resulting from this self-opinionated middle class who invest direct/indirectly in a continuing elevated social standing.
Job done.
Never joined.
Life’s too short.
I joined Facebook but my account is much more dormant than life-support, and it’s a constant heads up that Twitter pauses you when you want to see a brief GIF-like tweet, prodding you into signing up, at least that’s all I ever see, constant interruptions to get you to join. As big a clue as that is, I always demur. After a short while it will show me my iconic goal, or touchdown, or home run, if you wait a bit, or keep on clickin’

Social Media is a double edged sword. On the one hand, it has become a propagandist’s NUCLEAR weapon, utilized by everyone with an agenda. On the other, It’s… Social. Social is addictive because human beings are social creatures, and desire the company and acceptance of others. even from a distance, on a screen, from names and faces that you’ve never met in person, and which may or may not even be real. (or at least whom they portray themselves to be. lol) I suspect For better or worse, Social Media is here to stay. (At least until the 1% pull the plug on it all to silence the dissent of those of us who speak out against them and warn the rest of their audiences.) I’d personally rather have a lil piece of land somewhere far, far away from all of it, with my wife and child, Living off Grid,… Read more »
Problem is, for every one step forward making the world a better place, it seems that they may well be making leaps backward, with its abuse as a social weapon.
