An Alberta‚ Canada man‚ who grew up on his family farm‚ claims that Bigfoot sightings were common. He also claims that the farm has anomalous activity comparable to the Skinwalker Ranch.There was a cover letter sent along with the original conversation:"I had a conversation with an Alberta farmer who has had Bigfoot beings on his land for over 30 years. There have been many sightings and orbs. US Government agents in Alberta I've forwarded to you the conversation I had with him. You may find it interesting. He and his father saw US government agents trespassing on their land. They also saw their cars with US Government plates. They observed the agents from a distance with binoculars but didn't approach them. It's just a farm and woods so something is up. I doubt they have permission from the Canadian authorities to be poking around. Have you heard of us agents sneaking around rural land like this in Canada?"Original letter:"I'm from Alberta‚ Canada. Take this as you will and I promise you it's not a word of lies. I grew up with Bigfoot. I guess you could say growing up with them was no different than anything else‚ like deer‚ moose‚ elk‚ and bears. You get the drift. It was common to see one as any other animal. I'm not crazy. I'm a 31-year-old father of three boys‚ born and raised on a farm. I moved away now and owned a few successful businesses. I have no interest in lying to you or anyone else. I just want to tell people what I know and what my family knows.I believe you heard about Skinwalker Ranch in Utah? So our farm has often been called by many people who know it as the Canadian Skinwalker Ranch. We have lots of weird happenings almost daily‚ from UFOs and orbs to weird phenomena like apparitions and other interesting things. I actually have a podcast on Spotify called 'The Canadian Skinwalker Ranch' where I explain a lot of the weird things that happen.I don't think growing up we really put too much thought on Bigfoot or what it was other than it was an undiscovered primate‚ as do many other people. My friends think I'm insane but I've heard so many true stories that I know this phenomenon is real. I've seen Bigfoot morph into a being or vanish into thin air.I remember when I was about 7 or 8 years old‚ my dad had an old camcorder and was filming my brother and me. At the time none of us noticed it but when we watched the footage afterward he had‚ in fact‚ filmed a Bigfoot walking behind us....."NOTE: The Alberta man‚ Kodi Marshall‚ goes on about UFO sightings and his belief that Bigfoot is a flesh and blood being. I'm curious as to the location of this farm. If you have heard the man's podcast and/or have an idea of the location of the farm‚ please contact me. Thanks.

A Florida resident describes an encounter that he and his mother had with 2 solid black upright cryptid canines in Parrish‚ Florida while driving.I received the following account:““I'm from Sarasota and when I was younger I lived in Parrish‚ Florida‚ Just northeast of there. We lived off Rye Road‚ back in the early 90s. My Mom and I saw two solid black Dogmen run out before us. I will never forget because my Mom overreacted and jerked the wheel. Rye Road was a dirt road and our jeep rolled over and did a 180. We were lucky to both be mostly unharmed minus bruising.After we crawled out I saw one of them looking at us about 40 feet away in the palmetto bushes. It took me a long time to figure out what we saw.We also used to have chickens disappear and make spooky noises deep in the woods behind our 10 acres. I’ve got other stories too but none of them were dangerous kind of encounters but just sightings‚ I guess.”NOTE: The incident took place in 1993. Interestingly‚ Parrish is only 40 minutes away from Bradenton‚ Florida where in 2020‚ a man filmed a hulking upright dog-like figure sprinting through his backyard.

The British schooner‚ Zebrina. which‚ on October 17‚ 1917‚ was found drifting off Cherbourg (France)‚ undamaged in any way‚ with all sails set‚ but without a soul on board.The following mystery-at-sea was published in the "Sydney Morning Herald" on April 12‚ 1941:"According to recent cables‚ a 200-ton ship crossed the Irish Sea without a crew‚ and with her engines running‚ berthed herself in an inlet on the West Coast of Britain‚ with only an inch to spare from dangerous rocks. The vessel had caught fire and had been abandoned by the crew when the flames gained control. This strange happening recalls one of the most puzzling sea mysteries of the last war--a mystery as baffling as the more famous case of the Marie Celeste.This was the strange affair of the British schooner‚ Zebrina. which‚ on October 17‚ 1917‚ was found drifting off Cherbourg (France)‚ undamaged in any way‚ with all sails set‚ but without a soul on board‚ although the tables were prepared for a meal for the crew. No trace of the ship's complement was ever found and their fate remains unsolved.The Zebrina was of sturdy oak. built at Whitstable in 1873. Rigged as a three-masted fore-and-aft schooner‚ the vessel was 109 feet long‚ with a registered tonnage of 185 tons gross‚ and capable of carrying about 300 tons of cargo. In 1917 she was one of the many vessels engaged in transporting coal from Falmouth to the French port of St. Brieuc‚ south of Cherbourg. At the time the Zebrina was under the command of Captain Archibald Martin‚ the other members of the crew being four British seamen‚ W. H. Beck‚ W. F. D. Bourke‚ M. Faus‚ and G. Steward.On the afternoon of October 15. 1917‚ the vessel‚ fully loaded with coal‚ left Falmouth and set sail for St. Brieuc a voyage which she usually covered in about thirty hours. On this occasion‚ however‚ the Zebrina never reached her destination. Nothing was heard of her until early on the morning of October 17‚ when the French authorities found her derelict in the English Channel outside Cherbourg.To the amazement of the naval party‚ the Zebrina was found to be in perfect condition‚ but every member of her crew was missing. She swung idly about with all her sails set and flapping. The sea was flat-calm‚ and in the cabin was a table set for a meal that had been partly prepared. The galley fire was still burning.But no trace of the missing crew could be discovered. The men's clothing and other personal belongings were still on board; the ship's papers and log book had not been removed; and the only lifeboat that the vessel carried still swung in its davits. Completely mystified by their discovery‚ the French authorities had the vessel towed to Cherbourg‚ where‚ after the coal had been removed‚ the schooner was closely examined by marine surveyors. She bore not the slightest damage anywhere‚ and was not even leaky!Although at first it was presumed that the missing men might have fallen victim to a German U-boat‚ there was no evidence to support this theory. If the vessel had been stopped by a U-boat she would have been blown up‚ as so many other ships engaged in transporting coal to France had been destroyed when stopped by enemy submarines. Other evidence against the U-boat theory was the fact that the Zebrina's papers and log book were still on board. The German submarine commanders were under strict orders to take back the papers of the ships they destroyed so that there would be indisputable evidence as to their activities: when they boarded a vessel or signaled the captain to come off‚ the ship's papers were the first things they demanded.A more logical theory is that the Zebrina was caught in the severe gale that swept through the English Channel on the night of October 16. It is believed that the five men may have been all on deck‚ attempting to keep the heavily laden vessel's head to the wind‚ when a giant wave broke on board and swept them all overside into eternity.After the war‚ a memorial was erected to the crew at Trinity House‚ London."Cops' True Stories Of The Paranormal: Ghost‚ UFOs‚ And Other ShiversStrange Secrets: Real Government Files on the UnknownLife After Death: An Analysis of the EvidenceParanormal: My Life in Pursuit of the AfterlifeFairies: Real Encounters With Little PeopleHaunted Hills and Hollows: What Lurks in Greene County‚ PennsylvaniaUnderground Alien Bio Lab At Dulce: The Bennewitz UFO PapersALIEN DISCLOSURE: EXPERIENCERS EXPOSE REALITY - AudiobookRegister a SNAP EBT CardTHE MEME HUMANOIDS: MODERN MYTHS OR REAL MONSTERS - AudiobookTry Audible PlusPHANTOMS &; MONSTERS READING LISTFeel Free to Post PHANTOMS &; MONSTERS DIRECT LINKS ON YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA &; WEBSITE.

If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties‚ subscribe to Reclaim The Net. The retroactive application of new YouTube guidelines poses a significant challenge for content creators. David Burgess‚ the mind behind the DBTech YouTube channel‚ recently found himself in a perplexing situation. Despite adhering to the draconian rules at the time of uploading‚ he received two community strikes for older videos featuring youtube-dl and similar software‚ casting doubt over the sustainability of his future content. As reported by TorrentFreak‚ Brandon Lee from VirtualizationHowto describes it as a space for tech enthusiasts to explore and experiment with diverse technologies‚ ranging from virtual machines to personal servers. DB Tech‚ Burgess’s channel‚ is a treasure trove of knowledge for homelab enthusiasts‚ offering guidance on various technologies like Docker and Pi-Hole. Unlike many channels‚ DB Tech steers clear of piracy‚ focusing on legally available software. A notification from YouTube about a community guideline strike was unexpected for Burgess‚ especially since he had disabled notifications two years prior. The strike pertained to a video uploaded on March 20‚ 2020‚ about a Docker container for youtube-dl‚ a tool for downloading videos from platforms like YouTube. This video predated the RIAA’s attempt to remove youtube-dl from GitHub by six months. Despite youtube-dl’s continued availability on GitHub and Burgess’s emphasis on non-infringing use‚ YouTube removed the video in 2021 for violating its Terms of Service. YouTube-dl is a command-line program designed for downloading videos from YouTube and other video-hosting websites. Renowned for its versatility and efficiency‚ it enables users to download videos in various formats and resolutions‚ catering to different needs and bandwidth requirements. Beyond just downloading individual videos‚ YouTube-dl offers features like downloading entire playlists‚ extracting audio from videos‚ and selecting specific video qualities. Its utility extends to both casual users who want to save videos for offline viewing and professionals who may need to archive content or use video clips for educational or analytical purposes. As an open-source tool‚ it has garnered a community of contributors who continuously update and improve it‚ ensuring compatibility with a constantly changing online landscape. Burgess‚ known for his informative and hype-free content‚ was disappointed with the strike. His video‚ carefully instructing on the prudent use of youtube-dl‚ did not encourage piracy or content theft. Instead‚ it highlighted the risks of alternative tools laden with malware. Despite this‚ YouTube’s terms‚ which prohibit downloading content not explicitly allowed for download‚ left little room for Burgess’s video to remain up. The irony of the situation is not lost‚ especially considering the RIAA’s stance on youtube-dl as a tool for circumventing digital locks. YouTube’s terms disallow content that shows how to access unauthorized content‚ but Burgess’s video didn’t seem to violate this directly. The second strike came for a video uploaded on February 5‚ 2021‚ focusing on setting up a home media server. This tutorial‚ purely technical in nature‚ was also removed for breaching YouTube’s terms‚ despite its educational intent and the presence of similar content on the platform. This inconsistency in enforcement has left Burgess and other creators puzzled and concerned about the interpretation of YouTube’s rules. With the tightening of content policies on platforms like YouTube‚ creators like Burgess face the challenge of adapting to ever-evolving rules. The need to predict and conform to potential future guidelines adds to the complexity of content creation. Despite these hurdles‚ Burgess is not planning to leave YouTube‚ though he is exploring other avenues like Rumble for more consistent and clear-cut rules.

It’s that time of the US election cycle again: what were formerly known as “newspapers of record” attempting to‚ for political reasons‚ promote odd ideas like regulating jokes. It’s the New York Times this time‚ looking like it’s terrified that Donald Trump might be successful in his new presidential bid‚ and so going guns blazing after what it calls his “troll army.” And “troll” here means – meme creators. As for the memes themselves‚ the NYT either pretends not to or doesn’t get the joke – namely‚ that they are jokes‚ and basically treats them as sinister tools for peddling misinformation and deepfakes. To add insult to the paper’s injury‚ the memes not only support the Trump campaign‚ but Trump also enjoys them‚ and takes time to communicate with the meme creators. The article claims that there is a large number of “sexist and racist tropes” being repeated in these memes‚ but singles out a video collection of some of President Biden’s many gaffes. Trump apparently liked the original and used it during his rallies‚ but the gaffes are truly so many‚ that he thought a few more could be added to the video‚ which the creator was happy to do. This‚ the NYT treats as a very serious matter‚ referring to the creator as “effectively” being no less than a member of “a shadow online ad agency” for Trump – even though he does not work for him. What happened to the right to back a presidential candidate‚ express it in a humorous way‚ and not be treated with suspicion and described in over-the-top dramatic tone‚ such as that these creators with the memes‚ “brutally denigrate” Biden‚ and show “unrelenting cruelty of internet trolls” who resort to “vulgar invectives”? But it’s the suggested “solutions” that are the most bizarre part of the article. One is the implication that memes should be treated as ads that run on TV and radio‚ meaning‚ regulated for “accuracy‚ fairness and transparency.” And then onto the creators: the paper wouldn’t mind if they start being considered “super PACs” (i.e.‚ independent expenditure only political activity committees)‚ who would have to disclose any donors and provide reports about spending – and‚ possibly face restrictions on coordinating with campaigns.

If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties‚ subscribe to Reclaim The Net. US President Joe Biden has decided that it is a good idea to try going after the open source software development model – specifically (for now?) in the context of AI. The Biden administration is doing this via an executive order‚ issued at the end of October‚ which states that the goal is to create AI industry standards and ensure safety of citizens‚ government agencies‚ and – companies. Some observers are interpreting this as an attempt to restrict open-source AI‚ and essentially harness the power of the technology by centralizing it in the hands of a small number of powerful corporations with closed‚ proprietary development models. Although the executive order is said to be long on words‚ yet managing to remain short on detail‚ making the whole situation currently fairly confusing‚ what is understood from it is making some prominent figures in the industry raise concerns about the possible negative consequences on innovation‚ and creation of monopolies. Thus Martin Casado of the Andreessen Horowitz VC firm – joined by a number of academics and AI-based technology founders – wrote in a post on X‚ “We believe strongly that open source is the only way to keep software safe and free from monopoly. Please help amplify.” Like so many controversial initiatives and decisions coming from the current White House‚ this executive order is said to be overly broad‚ and putting startups and smaller companies in danger of not having the resources to meet its requirements the way the giants can. For its part‚ the administration has not yet decided to definitively take the path of restricting open-source AI and has instead asked the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to come up with recommendations by July 2024. At least NTIA administrator Alan Davidson thinks that the executive order is “pretty clear” in terms of assigning a task to this agency‚ and in his statements to the press‚ promises that NTIA is not “trying” to prejudge the outcome. However‚ if the recommendations go the way the critics of the order fear it will‚ it’s clear who will benefit: Big Tech (and‚ its “symbiotic partner‚” the government). Today‚ ironically named OpenAI‚ as well as similar projects by Microsoft and Google‚ are very much so close-sourced and no doubt adverse to competition.

To mitigate the impact of negative perceptions about its faltering economy‚ China’s prominent Twitter-like platform‚ Weibo‚ is actively discouraging certain users from publishing pessimistic content related to economic matters. This directive was highlighted in an online memo‚ which was verified by one of its recipients in a conversation with Bloomberg. A Weibo influencer specializing in finance‚ boasting over 76‚000 followers‚ disclosed in a recent post that they were advised to minimize economic discussions. Another blogger‚ focusing on Chinese markets and with a following exceeding 16‚000‚ echoed this sentiment by posting a notice that emphasized the importance of not overstepping boundaries‚ particularly on economic or financial issues. Requests for comments from Weibo’s representatives remained unanswered. This strategy by Weibo aligns with broader measures taken by China’s leadership to bolster confidence in the economy. Bloomberg reported that‚ in a recent Politburo meeting‚ senior Communist Party officials committed to enhancing the management of public opinion regarding economic matters. Recent economic indicators suggest a sluggish recovery post-pandemic‚ marred by low consumer confidence and ongoing real estate challenges. While not as overt‚ in the US the Biden administration is concerned about negative comments on social media platforms – particularly from young people on TikTok. According to various reports‚ President Biden wants to work to curb negative economic sentiment on the growing social media platform. TikTok influencers are voicing their concerns about the economy and their financial prospects more frequently‚ sparking concerns within President Joe Biden’s camp about the potential impact on his re-election bid in 2024. The popularity of hashtags like “Silent Recession” is growing on social media platforms‚ causing anxiety in the White House as they perceive these trends to be counteracting their narrative of “Bidenomics” showing encouraging developments. Notably‚ Generation Z and Millennials‚ when combined‚ are projected to have as much voting power in the upcoming year as the Baby Boomers and older generations‚ who have historically been the predominant voter demographic for many years. According to The Washington Post‚ a White House official said the Biden administration is “working with TikTok creators to tell positive stories of Biden’s economic stewardship‚ while also working with social media platforms to counter misinformation.” The post China’s Weibo App Urges Bloggers to Refrain from Negative Comments About the Economy appeared first on Reclaim The Net.
