In the Beginning

My First Substack Which will be of no Interest to Anyone

Apr 04, 2024

I opened a Substack account nearly 2 years ago. It has just lain there dormant, sneering at me, challenging me to write something that could be vaguely construed as interesting.

I have nothing interesting to say; I’m just another elderly white male, who doesn’t really seem to fit into the world. I don’t seem to like most things or indeed many people

I live, with my wife, down a fairly remote valley in Wales on this smallholding where I can sometimes go all week without seeing anyone else.

My secluded lifestyle doesn’t bother me, in fact I quite like it as I don’t seem to have much interest in other people. I don’t like the greed, the self importance, the aggressiveness and the arrogance of most people I meet. Perhaps I’m arrogant there’s a thought.

I used to write a little on Facebook but because it was mostly about the Covid Scamdemic, or the climate change scam or about the genocide of Palestine my posts were shadow banned by the algorithms. So I thought that I may as well write to no one here, in a bit more depth. At least I’ll be able to look back and say I told you so.

I did write a blog for a while, until the Wordpress database got corrupted, A few months into the Covid debacle I forecast the possible problems with an untested novel technology including specifically the potential for increased cancers and prion diseases. After all I’m just a conspiracy theorist (a weaponised term for anyone who doesn’t go along with the mainstream narrative) but it seems that I called that pretty accurately. If believing that the powerful do not give a shit about us, that the education system does not educate but indoctrinates, that pretty much everything is about money and power makes me a ‘conspiracy theorist’ then I’m guilty as charged.

My upbringing and career choices are a story in themselves and maybe I’ll touch on those sometime should anyone express an interest. Here’s me back in the 1970’s. Literally a lifetime away now.

Travel and photography, the latter in the last 25 years, are my main interests. I’m not sure how the desire to travel happened to someone who often doesn’t like people but I’m never happier than when sharing time with a complete stranger somewhere remote. As with this lady in Ethiopia.
