Jun. 10th, 2020 12:40 pmveritas_poetA public service announcements for fans:
Just like you, I enjoy the convenience of ebooks and streaming. It's so easy to click, click, click.
But I am telling you right now, start buying physical copies of the books, shows, movies, and music you love. With the way things are going, you're going to see more & more of this censorship and making things disappear.
Some discount sites that I've personally used are Thriftbooks and DVD Price Search. Ebay is also a resource, though I don't use them very often. I only do the "buy now" option. I forget what I got through there fairly recently, but it was a deal and a good experience.
I'd doubly urge you to buy a physical copy of 1984. And then read it.
EDIT:
Ironically enough, it's online!
(I didn't examine the link thoroughly, so I don't know if it's the full text. But there you go. Let's see how long it stays up!)
This is not a game, people. This is not hysterics. As I mentioned in my previous post, the disappearing of things is already happening.
Wake up. These Leftists are going full force. They are not going to stop until they are either fully in power or they destroy this country. (And not just this country. It's happening all over the world.)
Wake up.

Harry Potter re-read
Nov. 28th, 2017 10:43 pmveritas_poetIf you don't know, "Book Tube" is an unofficial section of YouTube, where people make videos about... wait for it... books!
This guy is new to Book Tube and is doing a Harry Potter re-read. I only recently got my last two HP books back from family members, so I missed the videos on the first book. I've got so much going on and I don't think I'll have time/energy to go back and watch those. But I'm finally caught up with reading and I'm starting on the Chamber of Secrets videos. He's spreading it out through a whole year, so it's very doable. I think he's covering 5 chapters a week.
His channel name is sirbooksage, which is pretty cool. I'm really enjoying his video so far.
Just thought I'd pass it along if anyone's interested. I'm pretty much done with Real Life these days, so I am escaping once again into this wonderful and comforting world!

Nov. 6th, 2017 08:15 pmveritas_poetI've been a part of a mailing list called emuse (formerly Scullyfic) for years. It started off being a fan group for the X-Files. After the show ended, it was kept as a hang out spot with weekly topics, and a sprinkling of XF stuff when the mood hits or when it's in the news or for the recent revival.
They posted a "check in" message for those in NYC due to the jihadist attack. I hadn't even heard about it until that point because I'd been typing all day. So posted this:
I was typing all day, so I had to look up what you were referring to.
Those pesky Mennonites are at it again, I see? Oh, wait...
Happy Thanksgiving, kuffar!
But remember, kids, this has nothing to do with Islam. Anyone who says otherwise is mean, bigoted, hateful, Islamophobic raaaaaaaaaaaaaacist! Also remember that Christianity is just as bad! Why, just the other week someone blew up themselves and others, while screaming "Praise Jesus!" and posting on their Facebook where the Bible commands them to do it.
Oh. Wait. That only happens in the fevered imaginations of people who are literally too stupid to live.
So, here we go again. Cue the sappy memorials, meaningless platitudes, ("our thoughts and prayers"), candle lightings, flowers, and teddy bears, while all the while covering our ears and eyes and saying, "Islam is a religion of peace! We need to be more understanding of these poor, oppressed terrorists! After all don't children deserve to be blown to a bloody pulp? They live in Amerikka!"
Meanwhile, back in the real world, the blood continues to run in the streets as people's lives and families are torn apart. But we continue to do... nothing. Nothing but wait until the next round of slaughter, when this pathetic, sickening cycle begins again.
It's like a twisted version of Groundhog Day, only the names, places, and faces change.
One thing never changes though, and that's the demonic ideology that commands and condones this slaughter.
Mo - who will NEVER submit to this death cult, nor will be silenced for telling the truth about it!
As dependable as clockwork, just a few minutes after my post hit the list, I got this from the list owner:
Hi [M],
I understand that this is an issue you feel strongly about. However, this mailing list, and particularly a post of concern for the safety of list members, is not the appropriate venue. List rules call for consideration and respect toward other list members. Please keep that in mind in the future.
Thank you,

I responded:
I said nothing false. I used no profanity or vulgar talk. I made no threats. I made no calls for violence or harm to anyone, not even verbal insults. I've never done such a thing and I would never do such a thing. I would condemn anyone who did that.
I will not be shamed into silence. What I said was simply the truth. The more we are silent, the more people will die or be maimed/traumatized for life.

Let's see how long before I'm banned.
Hm, silencing the truth? Pretty darned ironic for an X-Files group!

veritas_poetI can't find any other way to contact you.
If so, thank you for all your SPN reviews! They were such a huge help to me as I was catching up on Season 12. Real life imploded on me last year, and I FINALLY finished.

Attempted murder of Robert Spencer
May. 16th, 2017 11:48 amveritas_poetThis was beyond horrifying! Robert has such a wicked sense of humor that I thought he was joking or using it as a metaphor of some kind. I became more horrified with each line.
Dear God, this is what we've come to in the world in our enlightened year of 2017. There is now literally attempted murder on those who dare speak the truth about Islam. Or about anything, really.

I just donated $5.00. It's all I can do right now. Here is their website, if you feel so inclined:
Heroes and Horses
They have a horse adoption program! Guess which one I would like to do, if I only could? Take a wild guess!
This YETI channel has incredible videos!
This man needs to be kept in prayer
May. 10th, 2017 01:46 pmveritas_poetHe breaks my heart.
I'm wondering if it's time he and his family just left the UK and came to America. I'm not sure there's much hope for Europe as a whole anymore. The battle is relentless. If you think the liberals in America are bad, in Europe it seems they COMPLETELY own the culture, much more so than even in America. They are destroying anyone and everyone who will not bow to the gods of Political Correctness, especially when it comes to speaking the truth about the death cult of Islam.
Pray for his strength and for his family. He's out on bail now, but it's far from over.
They will not rest until they destroy his family and completely break him. I don't know how much more one man can stand.
ETA: My stupid browser decided to freeze and I had to reboot as I was typing this. You can also donate to his legal defense. We so often feel we can't do much to change things. Here's something tangible, practical, useful that you can do. I work barely part time and I still donated $5.00.

Fun story, and great channel!
Apr. 30th, 2017 06:55 pmveritas_poetIf you're tired of all the craziness and depressing stories we see 24/7, here's a change of pace. The channel is Great Big Story. They're all about storytelling, and offer wonderful glimpses of interesting/inspiring people.
There are amazing, talented people in the world, doing creative, incredible things. You just need to find them!
Check out this young guy. His work is amazing!

Bill Nye, the pervy-cringey guy!
Apr. 29th, 2017 12:20 pmveritas_poetThis is the best thing in the history of existence! THOSE COMMENTS!
Not work safe, child safe, sanity safe or anything else.
Seriously, people when I first heard about this Bill Nye video I thought it had to be a prank, a joke. Then I learned it was not. I couldn't even get through the entire video, it was so bad. And not even bad as in obscene. (Though, it is that.) But this is not even remotely funny or entertaining! It's just awful! It's poorly performed, poorly written and SO EMBARRASSINGLY bad, beyond anything I've ever seen! It's not even funny in that, "Let's make fun of it" sort of way.
It's the sort of thing that makes you want to rip out your own eyeballs and flush them down the toilet.
I'm sure even some people who may agree with Nye's views are saying the same thing! (Hey, I guess it's bringing people together? Gotta find that silver lining, right?)
This response video makes it almost all worthwhile! Almost....
You're welcome!
