Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On (Official 25th Anniversary Alternate Music Video)
To Celebrate the 25th anniversary of Celine Dionโs biggest hit of all time, this performance focused music video has been reimagined, featuring remastered footage in stunning clarity. Newly transferred from the original 35mm film reels and assembled in a brand new 4K edit, the video features exclusive, never-before-seen footage from the original โMy Heart Will Go Onโ video shoot from 1997.
"My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion is a timeless ballad that captures the essence of love and remembrance. Featured in the iconic film "Titanic," this song has resonated with audiences since its release in 1997. The 25th Anniversary Alternate Music Video brings a fresh perspective to this classic, celebrating its enduring legacy.
๐ต L Y R I C S ๐ต: Every night in my dreams I see you, I feel you That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance And spaces between us You have come to show you go on
Near, far, wherever you are I believe that the heart does go on Once more, you open the door And you're here in my heart And my heart will go on and on
Love can touch us one time And last for a lifetime And never let go 'til we're gone
Love was when I loved you One true time I'd hold to In my life, we'll always go on
Near, far, wherever you are I believe that the heart does go on Once more, you open the door And you're here in my heart And my heart will go on and on
You're here, there's nothing I fear And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way You are safe in my heart And my heart will go on and on

When Louise and I lived in Germany in 1986-87, we visited Dachau with our family. The crematoriums shocked our children, but even more so because this was simply a โdetention facilityโ and not one of Hitlerโs death camps.
Something big is coming to your phone on July 7, whether you asked for it or not.
#Go #ogle will begin rolling out its new Gemini AI #system, what they call an โupgrade,โ but what looks a lot more like a #hostile #takeover of our phones, our #personal #data, #privacy, and #digital #autonomy. If you own an #Android phone, you will be affected. And no, you wonโt be asked for permission.
This isnโt just another app. This is a system-level AI that will be deeply integrated into your phoneโs OS. It will replace Google Assistant. It will access your #photos, #videos, #documents, and #clipboard #history. It reads your #notifications. It #logs your #searches, It parses your #text and #email conversations....and it understands what they mean.
Anyone who doesnโt know that Google is the worldโs largest data vacuum and wrote the book on harvesting data from unsuspecting users has been living under a rock for the last 20 years. Google now has their ultimate tool: a super-intelligent AI that wonโt just vacuum up your data like before, it understands it. It doesnโt just scan your messages for keywords. It reads your sentences and figures out what you meant.
Text your mom to ask about her headache, and Gemini sends her ads for the nearest headache clinic to her and maybe drop a Pfizer plug while it's at it. If hers in also an Android phone, it can grab her #information off her phone, turn it over to the clinic marketing team for extra attention. #Surveillance #technology with a helpful smile.
The mandatory update includes Android #phones, #watches, #tabs, the Android app in your #car #control system....if it says Android, it gets the upgrade on the 7th.
Here Is What Is aA Done Deal:
You canโt uninstall it. Gemini is baking itself in to your operating system, it is no longer an app.
You canโt block its access completely. Disabling permissions only disables visible functions you see. It's invasive background data analysis continues.
You canโt opt out if you use any part of the Google ecosystem. If you use Chrome, Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube, or Play Store, youโre already giving it permission to spy on your life. Find alternates to these services if you don't want vacuumed.
What You Can Do:
If your phone still gives you a choice, don't accept the Gemini switchover. But know this: most newer Androids won't ask, you won't even see it happen.
Once updated, turn off as many permissions as possible in your Settings. Especially anything related to voice input, camera, location, and clipboard access. Not just Google apps too.
Use alternate apps for messaging, browsing, and email. DuckDuckGo, Brave, ProtonMail, etc. will help limit exposure.
Minimize your Google account usage. Remove Google accounts from secondary devices, or switch to a de-Googled phone if youโre really serious.
If you aren't real sharp on the inner parts of your phone, I've written a plain-english step through of these settings for the non-tech crowd. You can find it below my signature, I hope it helps.
Final Word
The integration of AI into your most personal device without informed consent, without transparency, and without full control, is not a feature. I believe it to be a major violation of privacy. You shouldn't have to be a tech wizard to keep your personal information safe and out of corporate hands! This is going to become a much bigger topic in our life in the immediate future as we are transitioned whether we want to be or not, into the era of AI.
Best of luck,
SourdoughSam
P.S. I apologize to my regular readers who are more used to my homestead and personal ramblings. As most know, I wore a tech sword in another life. Old habits come back when I see technology running rough-shod over an unsuspecting public. I had to speak out.

๐ง How to Push Back Against the Gemini AI Update by SourdoughSam
Step 1: Donโt Tap โUpgradeโ or โSwitchโ If prompted. If your phone still gives you a prompt to replace Google Assistant with Gemini on the 7th, do not accept it. Tap โNo thanksโ or โKeep Assistant.โ But be aware: on many devices as of July 7, this choice may no longer appear at all.
Step 2: Check Your Default Assistant Setting after the update....
Go to: Settings โ Apps โ Default Apps โ Digital Assistant App If Gemini is listed, try switching it back to โGoogle Assistantโ or โNone.โ Not all phones will allow this anymore, depending on your update level.
Step 3: Turn Off Personalization and Activity Sharing Go to: Settings โ Google โ Manage Your Google Account โ Data & Privacy Scroll to โWeb & App Activity,โ โLocation History,โ and โYouTube Historyโโturn them all off. This limits what Gemini can learn.
Step 4: Disable Gemini-Specific Features (If Available) Some phones now have a Gemini Settings section. If it exists, open it and turn off every toggle you findโespecially those for โContextual Awareness,โ โMessage Access,โ and โPhone Controls.โ
Step 5: Use Alternative Apps for Sensitive Tasks Avoid Google services when possible. Use:
DuckDuckGo or Brave for browsing
ProtonMail for email
Signal, Telegram, or Discord for messaging. This reduces the information Gemini can access through app integrations.
Step 6: Remove Unused Google Accounts If you have extra Google accounts on your phone, remove them: Settings โ Accounts โ tap account โ Remove account The fewer Google profiles, the fewer data funnels.
Step 7: Consider De-Googling or Switching Devices For those who want full control, look into custom ROMs like #GrapheneOS or de-Googled phones like #Murena. It's not for everyone, but itโs the cleanest break from forced AI integration.ok, It's not for everyone, but itโs the cleanest break from forced AI integration. "
Head_of_the_Dead ยท 12h (edited) Even if you're using a "dumb phone" all your messages sent to a modern phone are recorded by the receiving phone's system and both of your providers.

The introduction of stricter legislation and controls on food production is being used to favour large companies over smaller ones, ultimately leading to a reduction in food choices and an increase in โfood tyranny,โ Dr. Vernon Coleman writes.
There is plenty of food on Earth. The problem is that much of it is in the wrong place. Look at what happened when the EU built its food mountains. The food was needed in Africa but the EUโs agricultural policies meant that it got stored in areas where it wasnโt needed. Tariffs on imported food, and the dumping of surpluses, together with corruption, have suppressed the development of food growing in what used to be called the โThird World.โ There is no doubt that much of the starvation in Africa was directly caused by the EU dumping food there, with the result that local farmers simply could not compete and so went bankrupt.
The greedy billionaires want to get rid of farms (particularly small ones) and replace the food they produce with artificial food made in their laboratories. Their long-standing plan has suddenly become urgent since they do not want to waste a carefully created crisis. They are already selling laboratory-grown meat as beef. There will be no label to show that the meat was grown in a laboratory. The plan is that every piece of food will be digitalised and identified and part of the โInternet of Things.โ
Suddenly, and belatedly, they claim to have realised that nutrition has a value in health care and they want to control our diet with legislation, advice and taxes (on sugary and fatty foods). Long-standing medical tyranny is about to be extended and to become food tyranny. They are planning to introduce medically tailored meals and to extend genetically modified foods. The policy carried out with great success in India by Monsanto, for example, will mean that farmers will have to buy all their seeds from the big companies and it will be illegal to keep seeds from one yearโs crop for the following year.
The introduction of stricter legislation and controls on food production is being used to favour large companies over smaller ones, ultimately leading to a reduction in food choices and an increase in "food tyranny," Dr. Vernon Coleman writes. By Dr.

"After severe flooding in non-evacuated areas in Texas has left at least 24 dead with dozens more missing, including several young girls at a summer camp, Texas officials are blaming their failure to act on a faulty forecast by Donald Trumpโs new National Weather Service gutted by cuts to their operating budget and most experienced personnel."
"The voters of Texas decided that they wanted Donald Trump and Greg Abbott to be in charge of the government services they received. That is exactly what they are getting. And as of this writing on Saturday morning, Trump still hasnโt said a word about the storm and the little girls who were killed at the camp."
"However, Trump was seen dancing on the balcony of the White House last night celebrating the latest round of cuts in his budget bill that just became law so billionaires and corporations can have huge tax cuts."
There will, sad to say, be more and more consequences to the path we โ many of us โ have chosen for our nation, serious, lethal consequences.
@sjar and that is just for starters... As far as I know States did get FEMA emergency funds 'when needed'. Maybe it won't be a problem for Republican States, but we have to see if the other States will get some.
It is sad to say, but similar floods have carried away Christian campers in years past. Do they rely on Jesus to protect campers, and chalk up the flood deaths to Godโs will when they inevitably happen, maybe adding that victims are now in a better place? The attached article includes one of the worst public statements Iโve read so far:
โThis is the most dangerous river valley in the United States, and we deal with floods on a regular basis โ when it rains, we get water,โ [County Judge Rob] Kelly said. โWe had no reason to believe this was going to be anything like what has happened here, none whatsoever.โ
Kelly had no reason to anticipate such an event in the โmost dangerous river valley in the U.S.โ even though previous floods have claimed many lives? Why was a camping trip for 750 girls held in this flood plain? Why do parents let their children attend such camps? What kind of safety regulations apply to organizers of such camps?
This is the kind of tragedy that can happen when public health and safety policies are based on wishful thinking and prayers instead of science. How many additional tragedies will result from anti-vaccine and other ludicrous policies pushed by ignoramuses. Some local officials have called this most recent flood a once-in-a-lifetime event and have said their efforts will continue until all victims are found. And, while itโs undoubtedly a onetime event for the dead, it belies the fact that a similar flood killed people just 30 miles north of Kerr County in Hays County several years ago and some victims were never found. People camping along that river, including some children whose bodies were never recovered, were washed away in floodwaters. So, despite statements from Governor Greg Abbott and others to the contrary, the remains of some victims of this Guadalupe River flood will probably never be found. Speculation after the previous Blanco River flood was that their bodies were buried deep in the mud and river sediments displaced by the floodwaters.
Republicans in Congress have just passed Donald Trumpโs โBig Beautiful Bill.โ Widely dubbed the cruelest piece of legislation in US history since the Civil War, it will:Remove over $1 trillion from Medicaid, which will leave 12 to 14 million Americanโฆ

Ocho meses despuรฉs de la DANA cuyas lluvias torrenciales provocaron una riada que matรณ a 228 personas en Valencia, el jefe del Ejecutivo autonรณmico parece haber sido perdonado por su partido Feijรณo cierra filas con Mazรณn tras su gestiรณn de la DANA y bendice el pacto de presupuestos con Vox: โBuen trabajoโ
El presidente de la Generalitat Valenciana, Carlos Mazรณn, ha recibido este sรกbado un baรฑo de masas durante la segunda jornada del XXI Congreso Nacional que el PP celebra en Madrid para lanzar a Alberto Nรบรฑez Feijรณo a la conquista de la Moncloa.
Con todo, este viernes fue aplaudido y agasajado por la direcciรณn. Este sรกbado, Mazรณn se ha fotografiado con decenas de personas, incluida la delegaciรณn completa del PPCV (ver imagen principal de la informaciรณn). Mazรณn estรก en el centro de la imagen. A su derecha, el nuevo secretario general del partido, mano derecha de Feijรณo, Miguel Tellado. Al fondo, el diputado por Castellรณn y expresidente de la Generalitat accidental Alberto Fabra.
El presidente del Gobierno valenciano se mostrรณ eufรณrico cuando se hizo pรบblico el nombramiento de Tellado como nuevo secretario general de la formaciรณn en sustituciรณn de Cuca Gamarra al asegurar que en los รบltimos meses ha sido la persona โque mรกs cerca ha estado de la Comunitat estos mesesโ.
El baรฑo de masas de este viernes se ha producido pocas semanas despuรฉs de que Feijรณo felicitara a Mazรณn en un acto celebrado en Alicante por su โbuen trabajoโ durante la reconstrucciรณn y por la consecuciรณn de los presupuestos autonรณmicos pactados con Vox.
Un movimiento de Feijรณo que, segรบn sostienen algunas fuentes consultadas por este diario, responde a un pacto para garantizarse la fidelidad de los compromisarios de los populares valencianos, una genuflexiรณn a cambio de apoyo por si a Madrid y Ayuso se les ocurrรญa presentar una alternativa en el Congreso. Y es que la Comunitat Valenciana es la segunda en nรบmero de compromisarios con 389, solo por detrรกs de Andalucรญa, con 566.
La Asociaciรณn de Damnificados de l'Horta Sud-Valรจncia recuerda que pusieron como condiciรณn a Mazรณn para ese encuentro la presencia de medios de comunicaciรณn durante la reuniรณn, una peticiรณn que "desde el PP valenciano se ha considerado inasumible"

Am reading Naomi Kleinโs excellent #Doppelgรคnger at the moment. This section is about the investigation into residential schools in Canada a few years ago, which revealed up to 25,000 indigenous children died and were buried here. It was declared a #Genocide by the UN.
The parallels with what is happening in #Gaza are striking: settler colonialism involving not just the systematic erasure of indigenous culture but also systematic killing of children.
Hamas and PIJ militants could do a dozen October 7ths and it would still not be commensurate to the amount of suffering the Zionists have inflicted on the Palestinian people.
It was a horrible atrocity that was committed in retaliation against the decades long Zionist reign of terror, by a refugee population that was reduced to living in a ghetto.
Only within the context it occurred in can you understand it.

>The Curse of the 8th Decade >The first Jewish state, founded by King David, accomplished phenomenal achievements and survived united for 80 years.

The Empire Has Accidentally Caused the Rebirth of Real Counterculture in the West
Everyoneโs still talking about Bob Vylan, and rightly so. A crowd full of westerners happily being led through a chant of โDeath, death to the IDFโ at the 2025 Glastonbury Festival was a historical landmark moment for the 21st century, and the groupโs persecution at the hands of western governments is once again highlighting the way our societyโs purported values of free thought and free expression go right out the window wherever Israel is concerned.
globalresearcBut one thing thatโs not getting enough attention is the fact that many, many other acts also spoke out in support of Palestine at that same festival, and that the crowd was full of attendees waving Palestinian flags. Supporting Palestine and opposing Israelโs genocidal atrocities is just whatโs cool now.
This is a massive cultural development, because it means we are seeing the emergence of actual, meaningful rebellion in western counterculture for the first time arguably since the Vietnam War. The artists and their fans arenโt just talking the talk of sticking it to the establishment anymore.
For generations the ruling class has been successfully stomping out all politically relevant counterculture, first in the form of direct frontal assault by official government operations like COINTELPRO, and then by the way all major platforms and studios are owned by plutocrats who benefit from the imperial status quo and refuse to elevate anyone who might pose a threat to it.
There have of course been countless artists in every generation who put on a rebellious face and give the finger to authority, but theyโve never presented any kind of threat to real power. Punk rockers who sing โfuck the manโ but never advance any actual tangible causes. Satanic panic bands and shock rock superstars scaring church ladies and stirring culture wars. Bands voicing criticisms of the Iraq invasion but making it about supporting the Democratic Party. Celebrity musicians promoting social justice and equality without ever saying anything that might inconvenience the oligarchs and empire managers who rule our world.
The rich and powerful donโt care if you dye your hair or pierce your nose or kiss a member of the same sex or say Hail Satan. They donโt care if you support one mainstream political faction over the other, or if you yell empty words about anarchy and revolution that arenโt pointed toward any real material goals. They care very much, however, if you are undermining public consent for military and geopolitical agendas theyโve worked very hard to propagandize the public into accepting.
The establishment never dropped the hammer on Marilyn Manson. Lady Gaga never ran into trouble with the state for singing that gay people are Born This Way. Ozzy Osbourne is living in the lap of luxury with an estimated net worth of $220 million. But groups like Kneecap and Bob Vylan are being subjected to police investigations and visa revocations for taking a stand on Palestine.
Which, of course, is only going to make their position more popular among young people with a defiant streak in them.
Itโs hard to imagine how western governments could make support for Palestine look more attractive to western youths, really. Hereโs this unimaginably horrific mass atrocity that they can all watch unfolding on their phone screens in real time every single day of the year, and theyโre being told โYouโre not allowed to oppose this. We, the stuffed shirts in Washington and London, command you to obey. If you think unauthorized thoughts and chant unauthorized chants, we are going to get very huffy and upset.โ
I mean, can you think of anything more fun?
This is after all the generation whoโs been told that they need to accept being poorer and sicker than their parents and grandparents and that theyโll never own a home no matter what they do, knowing full well that the crusty old bastards finger-wagging at them for opposing an active genocide are the same freaks whoโve refused to do anything to steer their planetโs ecosystem away from looming disaster. They have every reason to want to express defiance, and nothing to lose by doing so.
A real, politically meaningful counterculture has been born in the western world, and our rulers are already showing us that theyโre afraid of it. This is a fascinating time to be alive.
