It’s the same old story every time. Our overlords create and fund those they want us to believe are enemies that must be stopped…
… This is all a show, and you are an unwilling audience member, until you become their cannon fodder. Are you not entertained?

Seriously, though, this is only the beginning. The torrent of official and unofficial propaganda, gaslighting, and emotional manipulation is only going to increase over time. Probably the best thing to do at this point is pick a “side” and back it unquestioningly, no matter what it does or says. If you’re a professional person, with a career, and a mortgage, and kids, or aspiring to be such a person, I would recommend going with The Powers That Be. It’s easy to do that. Simply unsubscribe from, and block, and otherwise close your ears and mind to “conspiracy theorists” like me. Stick with those anonymous “Intelligence officials,” the IDF, and the corporate media, and those “fact-checking” entities, and Google, and the rest of the Official Reality Enforcement Apparatus that has been rolled out, globally, during the past three years. You didn’t think they were rolling all that out for kicks, did you? No … of course you didn’t.
In any event, welcome to the War on Horror, or Terror, or Reality, or Whatever!

Windows sucks. I jumped on the Windows bandwagon back in 1992 when I bought a Viglen with Windows 3.1. After a few upgrades (including a dial-up modem to get on the Internet with CompuServe and Windows 95), I bought another Viglen in 1997 (it arrived on the fateful day that Tony Bliar was elected Prime Minister to forever change Britain – but not in a good way). I didn’t bother with Windows 98, but instead bought a graphite slot-loading iMac in 1999 and have stuck with the Mac and Apple ecosystem since then.
But I can safely say that Windows sucks because I often have to help a neighbour with his Windows laptop and I find it incredibly frustrating to use.
In the last twenty-or-so years however, I have experimented with other operating systems using VMware Fusion or VirtualBox. Mostly various flavours of Linux, but also UNIX, however the fun is also in the various window managers and desktops. I’ve messed around with CDE, IRIX (having first encountered it on a Silicon Graphics workstation at work), NeXTSTEP/OpenStep (and its “successor”, Window Maker), BeOS (and its “successor”, Haiku OS).
In recent years a number of projects have sprung up attempting to replicate retro desktops and window managers on modern Linux or UNIX distributions. There’s SparkyLinux which uses a “theme” (NsCDE) for FVWM to emulate CDE, which I tried a short while ago (here); MaXX Interactive Desktop emulating IRIX; the aforementioned Haiku OS and Window Maker Live.
I’ve tried them all and they’re great fun, but there’s usually a fly in the ointment and something or other doesn’t work quite right. That was certainly my experience with SparkyLinux running natively on my ageing Dell OptiPlex 7010 – I could never get power management to work. I’ve only tried MaXX interactive Desktop and Haiku virtually – the former only appeared to be a partial implementation (some things worked, some didn’t), the latter worked quite well, but is still in beta.
Which brings me to Window Maker Live. I really like Window Maker and I’ve installed in on top of various desktops on various distributions, but in each case the experience was compromised by elements of the original desktop. Window Maker Live promised a purer experience when I tried it a few years ago, but I found some of the customisations not to my taste. Subsequently I tried creating a pure Window Maker experience by installing from scratch: a Debian base installation followed by Xorg, WDM, menu, wmaker, Xfe, PCManFM and Mousepad text editor. It worked well as is, but trying to enhance it further was largely fruitless as things did’t work (such as the darned power management again).
With the recent release of Window Maker Live (with the latest versions of Debian and Window Maker), I bit the bullet and installed it on the Dell and it works great. I have been able to customise it to my taste and everything is working well. Kudos to Paul Seelig.
Distrowatch – put the fun back into computing.
One war is not over and another bloody one has started. War is the history of the 21st century, and Washington is behind them all–Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, South Ossetia, Yeman, Ukraine, Palestine. All the while Washington proceeds with its murders of Julian Assange and Donald Trump.

When illustrious leaders of the opposition cannot define what a woman is, you got to ask yourself, what the hell is going on?

To sum, 9/11 was staged by US and Israeli intelligence agencies (CIA and Mossad, who have extensive form for such things) to give them an excuse to further their military action in the Middle East; the mainstream media whipped up support for this “retaliation” by blaming the 9/11 attacks on some guy in a cave dying of kidney disease, and, lo and behold, more brutal bloodshed was unleashed claiming the lives of thousands of innocent people (as it continues to do to this day).
Exactly the same thing is happening in Israel now. These attacks were, at best, allowed to happen, if they weren’t in fact directly orchestrated by Israel itself. Please remember that the Israeli government – just like governments all around the world – has spent the last three years trying to murder its citizens (including children) by lethal injection, it hasn’t suddenly decided it cares about their safety now.
…this entire “Hamas surprise attack” black operation/psyop was a highly organized and long-planned false flag operation designed to effectuate several key outcomes, all of which are absolutely critical to the Great Reset.
Since 2016 it feels like dominoes have begun to fall and it is just a matter of time before things turn really nasty.
