Keep your chin up, Nigel. Your position is principled and just.

On Ana Mihalcea, soon after she "disappeared," she was found pimping a miracle machine allegedly capable of curing all ailments, including cancer. You can get one for only $11,000, provided you subscribe to the "TZLA club" rather than actually making a purchase per se! That way, you legally haven't bought a product that you can claim was mis-sold when it turns out to be little more than a collection of light bulbs housed in a tool kit box.

Thanks for your kind encouragement, David.

On Ana Mihalcea it clearly seems I have a lot of catching up to do. That sounds truly shocking (and deeply disappointing). I'm glad I openly brought up her "disappearance" in my post. I'll have to look into that further (annoyingly, I cannot access bitchute). I'm really shocked. That sounds terrible, especially since I supported her arguments against the zeolite 'miracle' product promoted by the now imprisoned Dr. Robert Young. Who knows who or what to believe these days? Is everything a scam? It's not just government scammers then!

It's worth paying for a VPN. You can access Bitchute that way.

As I have been saying for some time, Camp 2 is much bigger than most people imagine...

Thanks, David. I'll have to look into VPN. I'm itching to see beyond that curtain.

I thought I was wise to Camp 2. I'll have to perk up a bit, be more vigilant.

Everyone gets fooled at some stage. That's what Camp 2 is designed to do.

I use Surfshark. Haven't had any problems with it.

Strange how Surfshark now seems cozy and friendly as a tool in dystopian times!

I can relate to everything you are saying. You have to remain strong. Keep going and never give in.

Thank you, Amy. I'm staying strong, just expressing, venting into the void. I'll never give in!

Thank you for your kind thoughts. (They made up for the lost free subscriber a minute or two earlier). I shall breeze onwards without a care in the world! LOL!

I read your whole post, I can relate to your sense of frustration. I haven’t really been posting much of anything on SS either. I drop the odd note with a link to my Telegram. I get a sense that SS is not as open and free as it appears to be, like shouting in a vacuum. I became so fed up with all the drudgery of fanciful naming of microscopic anomalies, nano this nano that, I was even doing it myself at one point. If only microscopes could see nano (sub 100nm). At the end of the day everything is an aggregation of nano except nano itself. I used to pay for subscription to UKCOLUMN as I thought what else can I do. It doesn’t seem to make any difference what I try. “I’m as mad as hell (and I don’t wanna take it anymore).” Tyranny Tax is not a new thing as you well know. Not paying council ‘tax’ which we now know isn’t a tax but an unlawful demand for services not requested or asked for, is really no different than paying tax on the things we buy in shops. I recently had to pay import tax for a 40 year old lens for my microscope, if I didn’t pay it I would not have got it. I don’t know what we can do to stop the tyranny, I really don’t. I too wonder why the hell we are being encouraged to hate the Russians, I don’t even know any Russians. At this point, I don’t even know if Russia exists!!! That’s an extreme view of course, but it seems that the further away from our ability to scrutinize the objects of fear that are presented to us through the ‘screens and speakers’ the more detached from reality we are forced to be and the more that frustration alienates the less capable we feel in being able to change anything. You know, I don’t even know where I am going in this reply to you, except to say you are not alone in your frustrations!!!

Thank you for that great comment, it's very much appreciated. I can totally resonate with your thoughts on all the themes you mentioned. It's almost as if I wrote it myself, although I couldn't have expressed it any better than you did!

I was on Telegram for barely a year in 2022, after being thrown off Twitter for wrongthink in February of 2022, but I then suddenly lost complete access to my Telegram account at the end of 2022 and could never get back there. I had my computer hacked two or three times between 2021 and 2022 (I was actually online using my laptop on one occasion when it happened). So, all I had left was Substack since 2022 - and I don't want to upgrade any app or technology platform; I'm going "old school" old technology routes in future. Old is organic!

I think Substack, like all platforms, is a thought-containment factory. A surveillance and distraction funnelling pen. Maybe Substack scoops up more wrong-thinkers who've been rejected elsewhere. We're left to graze here on 'remote islands' whilst they taunt us with treadmill carrots and thought-cookies. We're being monitored for our data groans, grains and gravel.

I know what you mean about sub 100nm. I can never zoom in close enough. It's always frustratingly too cloudy, dimly lit or hazy, a dot, a speck, no matter what. Always a step beyond. I also think I compromised my 40X lens by an accidental oil immersion and I cannot clean it off with anything for fear of ruining things further. I might look into a replacement at some point or maybe just make do with what I've got.

Sharing microscopy can be tedious, time-consuming and energy-draining. Sorting through images, then having to carefully explain everything, or as you say attempts to accommodate nano/micro terminology, steals away remaining reservoirs of creative enthusiastic sparkle.

I share your frustration at the dystopian stranglehold, the drudgery. Whatever we do the Blob just sits there ... getting bigger, engulfing all. I'm sure our frustrations are shared everywhere in the 'awake' community of dissenters. I suppose we have to keep re-inventing ourselves, renewing our resolve, developing new coping strategies AS THE YEARS CONTINUE TO ROLL BY. Humour and joyful flows help me a lot but it gets very strained at times.

I think "They" (the Secret Elite Rotters/Plotters) are keen for a LONG war against Russia in order to bury us all in the mire (and the truth with it). The longer they can drag it out the better for them and the worse for us all. I'm sure the Russians (the people) are just like us, trapped in the orchestrations. Sadly, the Ukrainians have been set up and used by the Western mafia plotters and fascist stakeholder capitalists. One way or another we're all being used like cattle fodder.

Who knows where we're headed? I think we have to calmly calibrate our frustrations in order to stay sane and keep going in this marathon of an endurance course. It's certainly a creative and spiritual challenge! Thank you again for sharing your thoughts and insights. We can take comfort in our shared frustrations and take heart that it's good to express, vent and openly exchange our concerns.

Thanks for the response Nigel, we really are pretty much on the same page as each other... As far as your 40x objective with possibly dried immersion oil on it, get yourself some lint free chem wipes and isopropyl alcohol. I use Kimberly Clarke chem wipes and Servisol IPA170 (isopropyl alcohol). Just this week I had a 40x phase contrast that was fuzzy and for the life of me I couldn't see anything on the lens objective lens, but in desperation I used the wipes and alcohol and a very thin film of what I assume was immersion oil just peeled off...

Thank you very much for that welcome advice on lens cleaning. Greatly appreciated. Yes, as you detected, I swivelled the lens the wrong way and it got dunked in the immersion oil. As a novice I've been using 'EcoTech Wipes' - 'Probe Wipes' so far, which are 70% alcohol. I tried wiping the lens many times (carefully) but was worried about wrecking it. I thought the oil would eventually dry off but it seems not. I'll see if I can get some of the same wipes that you're using. I need to get some more anyway. They always advise 'don't touch the lens ever with anything' but never say how to clean them if the need arises! What you say about the very thin film peeling off seems likely to be my own situation. Thanks a lot. I'll try again soon.

Thank you, Anne Marie. That's much appreciated and it's very kind of you to say so. Thanks for your comment.

(Unfortunately, I've had to correct two or three typos since originally posting this particular post. It's tedious going through re-reads and even then missing things!)
