[Music] hello everyone this is a casual update report and it has several components a few things i wanted to talk about starting with for us with the people practicing what we have been preaching practicing what we are preaching doing what we say we should be doing instead of just putting these things in words and social media and i just wanted to go over that and also2/117
let you know about a few changes i have made yes just like the way i'm preaching for others i have been preaching to myself and i have been putting certain things into action well as you all know i have never been a youtuber i have had my own independent platform website news but for about 11 12 years before it was news but uh we had it3/117
as boiling frog's post it was a small forum small website but i still kept semi-active on their platforms as far as social media is concerned and for example facebook i set up facebook i believe around 2010 2012 and then i put my own preaching into action in about a year ago i basically stopped using my facebook account not only as a boycott but by just saying4/117
that enough is enough and i don't want to use their platform i gave my password to 3-4 trustworthy volunteers once or twice a month they go to my facebook account and they post my recent reports or the links to them uh and and that's basically the extent of it but i haven't been out there using facebook account whatsoever so that's it kaput for me facebook it's5/117
been almost a year so that's one uh as far as youtube is concerned as i have emphasized several times in the past six seven months i'm using youtube only to notify people on reports breaking news analysis or just simple discussion chats that i have posted on newsbud or and or on patreon sites so i have been using it as notification method generally speaking 90 of the6/117
times that left only one other social media outlet that i have been active on not very active if i were to put it in terms of how much time i have been spending in the past let's say two years or so 10 minutes here a day five minutes here a day i would stay as much as one and a half hour a day not only posting7/117
links to my reports at news but but also disseminating sharing noteworthy developments articles op-ed whether on geopolitical fronts or on the domestic political issues here in the united states i have been using it for that and uh as of yesterday i put an end to that as well not ending it as okay here it is i deleted my account and i'm not gonna use it but8/117
number one thing i did i made it private okay the other things i'm gonna do and this is what i announced on twitter before i went about doing it i uh i am going to reduce the number of people who get to see my posts there and post comments currently i have about 50 50 1000 followers on twitter and i came to this realization that it9/117
has been it is completely meaningless the majority of the interactions i have seen on twitter posts by other people response to some of my posts the majority of them have been may why am i doing this that's the question i have been asking for the past several months and as i have said it on twitter before making my my account private is that it's not about10/117
the quantity you know oh look at this i have 50 000 people there who are following me or 1 million 1 million people out there following this account it is not whatsoever about quantity in fact i have seen zero correlation in terms of being effective or translating information into either actionable items or even for some constructive uh discussion constructive emphasis on constructive zero correlation in fact11/117
i would say for me based on my own experience in my own humble opinion of a person or at least for me i rather have 500 followers of of a certain demographic by demographic i don't mean financial status or the gender or the religion or ethnicity no no no what i'm talking about is the kinds of people who not only believe but actually implement take action12/117
on issues on cases okay whether it's within their own individual family okay let's say with the with the way they're raising their children whether it's with their work uh how they approach things it's these are all these elements that that that are telling okay that are telling are you looking at someone or a group who are considered doers in life okay people who do things all13/117
right in this case good things things that move us more towards positive results whether it's for that person the individual or for for a certain group or community or for the society as as general okay zero correlation with quantity and looking at let's say a good example of this would be my own account on twitter i have seen and i have been paying attention i have14/117
been maintaining my own statistics tests casual surveys and i have come to realization that of the 50 plus thousand people following sibel edmonds accounts i have somewhere between 500 or 1000 people that i have gotten to know their avatars their comments uh and yang constructive comments by constructive comments i don't mean people who come and agree with me and say yeah yeah woohoo great that's not15/117
what i'm talking about i'm talking about whether it's criticism whether it's disagreement whether it is it is agreement with with additional caveat built into it people who actually are articulately positively with respect not only respect for me but with respect respect for the rest of the community come and share their opinions or they offer opinions or they're they offer solutions i would say less than 116/117
000. i mean just take a look at the ratio okay 50 000 plus followers you are looking at maximum and this is maximum i think it's more like 500 but less a thousand thousand people that make it worthwhile to come and share well then you look at the the the cost of it the time is spent on it and those of you who have been following17/117
me on social media you may have seen me using the words junk information junk news cyber junkies and it is not really meant these adjectives that i have been using it is not meant to be patronizing or insulting has nothing to do with that it's the trend and it's the reality it's a fact okay in fact if you go and look at the number of children18/117
under the age 14 15 who are dealing with cyber addiction and all sorts of really serious of concern even dangerous symptoms they have been exhibiting spending hours at a time on youtube channels and tick tock and instagram and and the online games and online chats and if you go and look at the studies if you look at the reports factual reports out there you see that19/117
they have turned into what i consider cyber junkies with the attention level getting shorter and shorter and shorter with the general health well-being whether psychologically or physically going lower lower and further down it is it is a huge a huge disease that has been inflicting the society not only here in the united states all over the world cyber addiction and and the the cyber activities by20/117
people now interestingly interestingly when i look at my own community at let's say newsworth okay i have had this community for nearly 12 years i can easily tell you that about 70 75 of my members who have been with me for years and years here at newsbud they are not active on social media facebook twitter either they are not active at all or very little private21/117
activities within their private family members network through let's say facebook but they always tell me when i mention things that oh i don't i don't use social media or i don't get to see your stuff because i don't spend time there well that also corresponds to these people their other life situation okay because when you look at life this life includes work family responsibility your health22/117
your physical health your hygiene all sorts of errands that all of us have to deal with and put up with and get down to it and do and they are unending i mean right now those of you who are mothers okay whether you're working part-time you're working full-time but you're also mothers you know exactly what i'm talking about right i'm just looking at each day of23/117
my own life okay okay from meal preparations okay and this meal preparation for me in general on average when you do breakfast lunch and including lunch that i pack for my child to take to school and dinner just prep alone and the cleanup included afterwards we are looking at easily easily one and a half hour a day one and a half hour day prepping cooking cleaning24/117
up afterwards this is not taking into consideration the amount of time it takes to go and shop for it because we don't use everything canned right we have to go and get fresh vegetable because we have a certain menu for this week's um dinner menu for for let's say four days monday through friday so there's shopping involved there's laundry there is cleaning your house there is25/117
the time that you have to you must you need to spend with your kids whether it's with their homeworks whether it's with their own hygienes if they are younger i mean this is not even putting into this equation the work okay then there are other things bookkeeping you know we all write bills okay we all of us have to deal with taxes have to deal with26/117
our bank accounts that all the credit card bills the house mortgage the the car insurance the car mortgage well these are the things that are time consuming it's not every day four hours five hours but if you take monthly the monthly time spent on just these types of financial economic related bookkeeping related activities several hours a month easily minimum goes into that now you bring into27/117
that work okay having to earn earn for yourself earn for your family commuting okay and extended expanded family related dynamics that we spend time friends that we spend time exercise taking care of our body okay our own showers our own uh the things that we have to do we should do hopefully we are all doing it okay the amount of maybe exercise even if it's half28/117
an hour walk a day you put all those things and then think about it and say what kind of people and now i'm getting down to the demographics the demographics that does not have anything to do with gender race your socioeconomic status etc etc it just has to do with the type of people who are spending time or not on the social media okay and i29/117
can tell you i know personally i know personally adults people in their 30s 40s okay some 50s i know them i know them in person okay on average on average they spend five six hours a day constantly you know just like those kids the teenagers the 12 year olds they're doing the games and checking instagram the youtube they're checking information information they go and check somebody30/117
else's account they respond to this they respond to that they spend on average six hours six seven hours a day spent on this well when you look okay begin this is not to insult anyone this is me telling you the facts now these facts are gonna really bug the heck out of some people they're gonna get offended because it hits them and you know what i31/117
hope that they will get offended or even better i hope it will make them stop and think and say wow the opportunity cost of this time spent on the cell phone on a laptop or a notebook doing this comment that comment going attacking this putting this sharing that link bringing that copy paste that six hours a day the opportunity cost of it is tremendous and when32/117
you look at that demographic i am sorry to inform you but this is fact you're not gonna find those people who are engaged in this you're not going to find people who have had really long-term healthy relationships whether with their spouse husband and wife whether it's a long-term relationship partner you will not find of the people i know i can tell you this because as i33/117
have told you those of you who've been following me and listening to and watching my other reports i'm always making my own data my own statistics okay you look at these people on average of the ones i know the relationship average years spend moving from one relationship racking it then to the other one and to the other one and in some unfortunate cases there are children34/117
created or child created with each one of these relationships is 15 months is 15 months because relationship those of you who have been like me married for 30 years or those of you who have been in long-term relationship with your spouse or with your partner it doesn't matter what kind of relationship you know that relationship maintaining your relationship fulfilling their responsibilities one's responsibilities to a relationship35/117
takes time and effort energy time okay one partner cannot go and do all the bookkeeping and the bank account and the cooking and the shopping and earning money and the other one sits there okay probably in his or her pj and tweets and facebooks and instagrams and does a tick tock tick tock thing it doesn't happen okay that relationship guaranteed here will not last and i36/117
will dare anyone to find people with fulfilling family life long-term relationship of 10 years 15 years even let's say seven eight years who are the kinds who are spending these times being cyber junkies it doesn't happen same goes for career success whether you're working for someone or whether you have your own business whether you're working from home you are not you cannot be we cannot be37/117
productive successful okay fulfilling our ambitions providing for ourselves but also for our family for our children if we are not focused and truly working if we are doing this okay this is this is this is a disease i really call it a disease now i know this is a long-winded way of telling you this is why i see that that demographic is meaningless in fact through38/117
social media like twitter etc i haven't used linkedin i haven't used instagram i don't have accounts for those so every day they are coming up with new accounts i see that majority of the people that i have seen i have observed are those cyber junkies cyber addicts people who are not doers in life in their family with their extended family with their work with their businesses39/117
with their finances they are not and honestly i can't see how can anyone say hopefully these people who are saying let's do something we got to do something about the mask we got to do something about this that they're going to translate into action in life trust me these people won't because their entire their entire concept notion of doing things for them is being junkies on40/117
the cyberspace that is not gonna get us anywhere okay and for let's say those of us who spend that one and a half two hours 10 minutes here 15 minutes here trying to inform trying to get these people unite people say let's have a constructive united front and counter these deep state practices etc we are preaching to the wrong choir and i have seen that i41/117
have noticed that in fact i have known this for the past i would say two years but i kept doing it maybe that is uh some sort of an addiction i still spend that one and a half two hours a day saying take a look at what is happening here in syria look at this development here in sweden or this report by this scientific publication countering42/117
the argument for mask i did that and then i said to myself that's it number one look at the people who are owning it are shadow banning me they have been doing it for since august july august 2018 because i have a game the data statistics both youtube this despicable channel youtube i hope they are listening i hope they will go ahead and eliminate this channel43/117
have zero worries on that front and also twitter that um it's it's it's future it doesn't translate into anything positive very few positive i wouldn't say any positive and i'm going to mention one of those positives right now and as i was going through these thoughts and this is the interesting part i got a phone message a note by by my um through my email a44/117
message from a wonderful individual i got to meet recently here in southwest florida in naples florida greg gregory hill how did we get to meet each other it ended up being true twitter because i was tweeting something about some protests here i think it was a blm protest in naples florida and he posted responded to that i started following him then he sent me a direct45/117
message and said hey welcome to florida i have been following your work for the past few years so we connected again through this poisonous channel forum twitter but something something good one of those rare instances when something good comes out of a lot of bad things okay well we connected we got to meet in person he actually notified me of a very good constructive positive peaceful46/117
protest for one of the local business owners who was refusing to comply with the covet craze measures and i went and i attended so i got to meet him and his friend gary gary if you're watching hello and these they are in their 50s and these people they don't spend seven eight hours on twitter or instagram or facebook both of them have families they have raised47/117
