Silencing the ‘Truth’ movement

They don’t believe in the Lunar landings.

9/11 was an inside job.

The world is run by a elite cabal of bankers, industrialists and investors.

Most tellingly, Sandy Hook, (and any other shooting or atrocity), is an action by the state to control the people.

Chemtrails?

Weather weapons?

Islam, femenism, homosexuality?

They’re all out there, and they’re there as mechanisms for the state to control the people.

So say Alex Jones, Louis Farrakhan, and Milo Yiannopoulos and Laura Loomer in varying degrees and with various different slants.

Facebook bans Alex Jones, Louis Farrakhan, Milo Yiannopoulos and Laura Loomer from it’s platforms

 

 

 

 

Now Facebook has deemed these people as ‘Dangerous’.

Technically, not in breach of Facebook’s TOS. Continue reading “Silencing the ‘Truth’ movement”

Blisworth -> Nether Heyford

Just moving the boat.

Last stop was Gayton, before I put it in the marina.

There’s one possible stop, near Anchor Farm, then straight through to Nether Heyford, because stopping at Bugbrooke isn’t an option.

Easter Weekend

It’s Easter Weekend, possibly the most busy time for hire boaters.

Began washing Bonnie yesterday – cleaning all the winter grime off with a scrubbing brush.

Took me 3 hours to do the roof.

Still got to do the cabin, gunwhales and decks.

Day 40: Tadopani -> Pokhara

The end of the Annapurna Circuit Trek, for me.

I didn’t want to walk back through Gorepani (Poon Hill), and Ullari. All stuff I’ve done before.

I cut my loses and took the bus back to Pokhara.

The bus from Tadopani to Pokhara

I’ve been around South America, europe and Asia on buses. Bumpy bus rides along precarious roads are nothing new to me, but this bus trip from Tadopani to Pokhara was 10 hours of travel HELL.

Just bumps, spine jarring bumps, corners, stops and starts right the way from Tadopani to Beni. About 5 hours.

It was actually very physically demanding.

About 3 hours in, we were stopped by roadworks.

These Nepalese roadworks are of a special variety.

They’re pictured above.

Pokhara

When I did get to Pokhara, I discovered my hotel had emailed me telling me my room had been overbooked and I had no-where to stay.

Happy days.

Day 37: Kalopani -> Tadopani

Probably my last full day of walking, and a long day it was.

Should have halved the day by stopping in Ghansa, but didn’t. Didn’t really want to walk backwards and uphill.

I think this was a mistake.

Walking from Kalopani to Tadopani in one day is definitely too far. Even though it was downhill, it was nearly 20 miles, and there were no villages to stop for lunch, so it was a straight through job.

By the time it got to 5 o’clock, I’d stopped enjoying the countryside, and was more concerned about my feet.

Kalopani to Tadopani

The views walking from Kalopani to Tadopani were spectacular, and although the trail had been destroyed by landslides in places it was pretty, if a slightly dangerous walk through small villages, mountain valleys, through forests and ravines.

When I got to outside Tadopani, some heavy plant and engineers were in the process in of improving the road.

All the passengers had got out of their 4×4 and buses, and were congregated around the work-site, socialising at the road-side or waiting patiently, or impatiently inside their vehicles.

I passed these folk and carried on into the town. When I arrived, it was 5pm, and the only place I managed to get accommodation was called Dhaulagiri Lodge, which actually turned out to be quite good. Continue reading “Day 37: Kalopani -> Tadopani”
