Welcome back, gang!!

Oh, wait. I’m the one who was gone…

Okay!

I had another great trip down to see my dad. This time, my stepbrother and his wife were in from California and I hadn’t seen them since their mom’s funeral (my stepmom) in 2020. And one of my stepsisters stopped over, too. It was a lovely day and we had a really nice time — although, with all the extra people and conversations, I didn’t really get to spend too much time with my dad. Still, it was a good trip.

I’m getting a little better at managing all that driving, especially now that summer is over and there’s less traffic. But I still get out of the car at the end of the trip, after 6 hours of driving, and feel like I got hit by a truck….

What happened to those not-so-long-ago days, when I would hop into my car, drive 11 straight hours to Rhinebeck, NY, get to Sandra’s house, trot my bags upstairs, toss them into the guestroom, and then walk briskly with her into the village and get cocktails and dinner and be in absolutely fine form???

Unbelievable. That was only 3 years ago…

Next up: I drive to Cleveland and back to see Nick Cave. Hopefully, I won’t feel like I was hit by a truck… (That’s the main reason I’m flying to Toronto next month. Toronto is actually not that far away. Rhinebeck is twice as far from here as Toronto, but I seriously don’t want to risk feeling like I got hit by a truck in Toronto.) (BTW – Sandra arrived in Toronto on Saturday.)

In “Horsepucky” news…

I’m not really sure what’s going on with the bizarro Jann Wenner thing — I do know that there’s some seriously weird shit circulating around. Not just his alleged comments in the NY Times about black musicians and black female musicians (and who in their right mind makes comments like that, least of all a man like him? It doesn’t add up) — but also an entire new book is out claiming that Rolling Stone was essentially a racist zine and that Wenner never gave equal (or any) space to black musicians.

Not sure what universe that author grew up in, but Rolling Stone most definitely was NOT like that when I was growing up. Back in the 70s, when I was growing up, popular music wasn’t divided into black & white. It was just popular music, with most white musicians inspired by and devoted to the black roots of blues, rhythm & blues, soul, and rock & roll. So both blacks & whites were always in all the popular music zines from the late 60s onward.

I don’t know what Rolling Stone is like nowadays because I stopped reading it a couple of decades ago, when it became indescribably militant Marxist. A mouthpiece for the CIA agenda — when it used to be a vehicle for exposing the CIA.

I don’t even know if that’s even still the real Jann Wenner. Maybe it’s a double and now they are publicly taking down an infiltrated Rolling Stone? I honestly don’t know, but it’s worth thinking about…

Meanwhile–

In other “Horsepucky” news– more attacks on truthers:

Russell Brand – So, This Is Happening (2 mins):

Phil weighed in on this topic this morning:

“☝️[their] targeting against me didn’t work, so now [they’ve] switched focus to fellow Rumble live-streamer, Russell Brand.

It also will not work 😎”

(And I have to add that I am so happy to see this #unity going on right now between Phil and Nick, over at GoodLionTV. As you know, I love Nick’s documentaries. He has been astounding my wee bonny brain for several years now. There are a few movies over there that you can watch for free, but if you can afford $9.99 a month to watch everything, it is well worth it.)

And if you never watched Nick’s “Paul Is Dead” film, even though I have begged you many, many times to go watch it — you can still watch it for free HERE.

Film: Paul is Dead (2020)
Length: 50 minutes
Produced by: Good Lion Films
Premise: What if Paul McCartney died in 1966? Would they have replaced him? If so, why? With who?

Hmmmm……

And PS: Not a GoodLion film, but don’t forget to listen to this!! (“Deathbed confession”) (And if you think that George Harrison wasn’t murdered, even though he died from cancer, think harder.)

KILL THE MESSENGER: The Murder of John Lennon by CIA Operation 40 – By Gualdo Hidalgo

“…The presence of Jose Perdomo at the crime scene is the unequivocal proof that CIA murdered John Lennon. Jose (Sanjenis) Perdomo, Chief of the Secret Service at the Presidential Palace in Havana during President Carlos Prio Socarras, a CIA veteran, worked for CIA/Miami station in the early 1960s, and recruited most of the members of Operation 40 – a CIA assassination squad most of whom were Cubans”

I tell you what, gang. I wake up alone now, every morning. Well, I wake up with Doris and Huckleberry walking all over me with tiny kitty feet, at 5:44am every morning. (Their inner-kitty clocks are incredibly precise).

But I wake-up alone, and I scan my thoughts before opening my eyes — thanking God for quite a few things before I get out of bed and face the day. Thanking God that my bills are paid; thanking God that I am incredibly healthy; thanking God that Q and the White Hats had an amazing plan; thanking God that I am still alive, that I somehow had the courage to stay alive and live an uncompromised life, in spite of everything that has been thrown at me these last 3 years (as well as for the entirety of my life, but for other reasons).

And I thank God that yesterday, my stepsister promised me she would not move away while my dad was still alive (she lives only 20 minutes from him) and so I have one less thing to worry about.

Gang, I won’t say that my career is “over,” but it has been decimated and I honestly don’t even mind. With everything we’ve now learned about Hollywood, Netflix, the music industry…. I’m just grateful I can still write. I can still think for myself. I can live in peace and quiet and put thoughts onto paper.

Now I read these things that are allegedly happening to “Jann Wenner” and, even though his magazine turned into something I no longer respect, I don’t know what is true about what’s happening — I only know that none of it makes sense. And, in a similar non-sensical vein, I can look to my own career, specifically at my (award-winning) play, “Tell My Bones,” and except for Sandra, none of the people, both black & white people, who helped me get that play off the ground in late 2020 will have anything to do with me now. Because I’m white and Helen LaFrance was black. And that since I’m white, I am not allowed to write about a black woman’s life, even though Helen granted me, personally, the rights to tell her life story.

So I know there is a lot of horsepucky going on everywhere. So much is still coming to light. Some of it such huge horrific stuff. For me, it all comes down to the microcosm of my life now. I’m healthy. I can write. I have my own mind. I’m so grateful for that.

I look at someone like Michael Hemmingson — a truly dear colleague, whose life was utterly destroyed. (I keep hoping that he’s living in some sort of witness protection somewhere, but as the years go by, I believe that less and less.) He was the one who warned me many years ago about the FBI (regarding a short story I wrote way back in 1989 –!!). He was the one who warned me about FEMA, about Obama, about, yes, the CIA.

He worked hard at exposing corruption everywhere. Most notably the cartels in Tijuana.

I steadfastly supported his erotic writing in a federal court, staking my entire reputation on it, even though I was looking at a minimum of 5 years in prison. I’m so glad I didn’t know then what I know now, because it was terrifying enough back then.

But now, you know what? You can try to find out about Hemmingson’s career on the Internet, and they will have you believing he was a pedophile. His career fighting the CIA has been all but erased. And what has been completely scrubbed are his journalism pieces about how influential the Satanic church was becoming in Hollywood. He was murdered shortly after those pieces were published online.

So, I don’t know. I wake up and I’m just grateful that I wake up. I’m grateful I can think. I’m grateful I can write. I have food and water, and a (very leaky) roof over my head. I’m just fucking grateful. Bells & whistles no longer matter at all.

Okay, enjoy your day, gang, wherever you are in the world.

Thanks for visiting. I love you guys. See ya!

***************

Yesterday was great, gang.

Sandra emailed me my tickets to Toronto so now I know when I am actually going to be there. (October 26th through October 31st. Opening night is October 28th.) (I’ll be there for 2 preview performances, then opening night, and then the first Sunday matinee.)

And I will be staying in some sort of Airbnb, where she will be staying, too, but I have a separate accommodation or something like that. Because she doesn’t want anyone at all, ever, to be speaking to her when she’s not at the theater because she will need to be extremely focused and will likely also be extremely stressed out…. We’ll see.

But anyway, it’s actually starting to happen. So I updated all my info on the Uber app, and on the Expedia app, and I dusted off my passport and my TSA pre-check, and all that stuff that I haven’t used since 2019 (!!!!). (Pre-scamdemic, pre-mask/vax mandates, etc.)

So it’s really happening. I even have a ride to and from the airport here (which is an hour away from me).

And all that new luggage I bought in 2019 and have never used — remember when I was supposed to teach that writer’s workshop at that villa in Italy (Villa Monte Malbe in Perugia, with Peitor Angell)??

In case you’ve forgotten, it was going to be here:

It slept 30 (!!), and most rooms had a private bathroom. I loved this one — the view out the window:

Remember how I was studying Italian for about one year, in order to be able to speak with the full-time staff at the villa?

And remember how my good friend, Kara, had gotten a new passport in order to attend my writer’s workshop?

Well, I never used that brand new luggage. It’s been in my storage closet since before the scamdemic.

However, it will soon be coming out of storage… So, it’s official. Yay.

And speaking of Kara… I hadn’t seen her since she was here for dinner on New Year’s Eve (!!!!). Both of our lives have been very intense this year. But she popped into the train station Friday night, a few minutes after we closed, and stayed to chat for about 20 minutes. It was so great to see her! It made my whole night. Here is a lovely photo of Kara but it, too, is from before the scamdemic:

***************

So I made a big decision. (Well, in the whole scheme of things — a tiny decision, but it feels exciting to me.) I bought a new writing desk. Just a basic, very inexpensive ($40!!), small writing desk that I will put down in my dining room. It will have nothing on it. No stacks of scribbled notes or endless piles of papers, no laptop.

I just wanted a place to write in my journal again; a space that was uncluttered, that wasn’t surrounded by all the psychic energy of everything I’ve ever written here at this writing desk where I am typing right now on my laptop. The writing desk where I have written everything that I have ever written over the past 42 years….

So I’m excited. I love my dining room and I love the energy in it and I am almost never, ever in it.

So, I just feel like some sanity is coming back into my life now. I actually feel it taking shape.

That’s really kind of it for now, gang. I’m working with Sandra for one more quick session today, and I want to get a little bit of housecleaning done before that.

Oh, here’s this:

Breakfast-listening music!! Still more from Sticky Fingers, 1971 (something about love being a “bitch”…). Enjoy!!

(Not the Florida Keys, but the keys here on the laptop…)

I did not drive down to see my dad yesterday because I wound up coming down with a very mild cold– still, I didn’t want to risk his catching it.

I took the whole day off to just relax and rest yesterday and now I feel pretty good. Only a little congestion left.

Today, I’m working with Sandra on a few tweaks to the Epilogue — and then:

…the script goes off to the Production Crew in Toronto and the play will actually be underway!!!!

Can you believe it? (We started working on “The Guide to Being Fabulous” in November of 2014.)

**************

Aside from that, I’m trying to shift my focus around here, because the play will need next to nothing from me now — maybe a line here and there will need to be written during rehearsals. But that is it. So I’m clearing off my desk and getting ready to dive into the next project.

Oh! And, lest me forget — right around the corner is this (I’ve had a ticket to this concert for 6 months already!):

*****************

Okay. Real Raw News was off on a trip from Hell, and is just now getting caught up. From yesterday:

“White Hats Shoot Down FEMA Plane Leaving Hawaii

On August 29, a White Hat-controlled Arleigh Burke-class destroyer shot down a State Department 767 carrying 180 FEMA personnel from Honolulu to Florida via a stopover at San Francisco International Airport, a source in General Eric M. Smith’s office told Real Raw News.

The shootdown occurred at 2:15 a.m., approximately 300 nautical miles east of Oahu. The plane was flying at 37,000 feet when struck by a single Standard Missile 3 (SM-3). The 767 broke apart midair as it plummeted into the ocean. […]”

[full article here]

******************

The rest of the news is basically still stuck in Hell — earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, explosions, more floods, more fires…

And today is my least favorite day of the year — the anniversary of 9-11.

We all know now what really happened that day, but it doesn’t make it any easier to stomach. I have PTSD attached to the images of 9-11, so I will just let you go watch all the footage elsewhere. In my opinion, NYC — my home back then and my most favorite place on Earth — was never the same after that day.

(Phil has some videos about what really happened that day — you can find them here.)

I have one chapter left to listen to in Bertram Cope’s Year (audiobook on LibriVox, novel from 1919, written by Henry Blake Fuller). I have really enjoyed listening to that book, gang. What a quiet, unexpected little gem.

I’m still reading Paris in the Fifties, by Stanley Karnow (1997) (and still studying French on the Mondly app!!), but now I am also reading Mary Oliver’s New and Collected Poems, Vol. 1 (1992), and it really sets the tone for my mornings, now that September is really with us and autumn is just around the corner.

I love Mary Oliver’s poems. Through most of my adult life, I thought she was a black woman from Harlem, or someplace like that. Which is really odd, considering 99.9% of her poems are about Nature, nothing urban… but, for some reason, that’s what I saw in my mind’s eye whenever I would read any of her poems in magazines.

Of course, I eventually learned that she was a white girl from Cleveland!!! Which is just so funny, since that is what I am, too. You gotta wonder, gang, why I would assume she was, like, the complete opposite of me…???

Anyway. I love her poems, and in my opinion, she had the most lovely and amazing life.

Here’s one of her best-loved poems:

One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you
kept shouting
their bad advice --
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles.
"Mend my life!"
each voice cried.
But you didn't stop.
You knew what you had to do,
though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations,
though their melancholy
was terrible.
It was already late
enough, and a wild night,
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones.
But little by little,
as you left their voice behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determined to do
the only thing you could do --
determined to save
the only life that you could save.
 
 
 
Mary Oliver
The Journey

And I’ve also been re-watching this DVD from 2010, doing some research for an upcoming memoir of my wee bonny girlhood — Stones in Exile, a documentary on the Rolling Stones in exile in the South of France, where they were recording their now-classic album, Exile on Main St.

****************

So the approaching autumn is changing the color of the world outside my window and the color of my inner, writing life. Things are feeling kind of peaceful around here. For a change…

That’s really it, gang. I need to head into town and get the groceries before I call Sandra and get down to work.

Enjoy your Monday, wherever you are in the world.

Thanks for visting. I love you guys. See ya!

My current listening-music!

From 1971, that legendary album from the Rolling Stones, Sticky Fingers: “Dead Flowers.” Enjoy!!

If you missed Phil’s Rapid Fire Q&A last night, you must listen to the replay! It was fantastic.

It took him a while to get going because he lost his Internet connection, but after that, it just flew by.

My favorite part was when he finally said that “Queen” Diana is still alive.

How many years has he danced over that question, because everyone kept asking if “Princess” Diana was still alive? And he kept saying “no” and we kept KNOWING that she was…

Anyway. That was great.

Also, NESARA has indeed started!! And the missing Lahaina children were found and are safe.

I was sad, though, by Robin Williams being dead. I really thought that somehow White Hats had managed to save him. I really, really had hoped that had happened. That he was one of the ones to escape it. [belt+doorknob+hanging+”suicide”= Deep State did it.]

But Phil had some really great/happy intel on a lot of stuff.

Here is the replay if you missed it. (Fast-forward to the 24-minute mark)(1 hr 14 mins):

*******************

This perplexes me because I just don’t know what to make of this guy.

I love Bruce Springsteen, and have loved him since I was 15. But all the truthers were saying he was compromised. Then he joined the vax mandate and no one could go to his concerts if they weren’t vaxxed.

Then, when I thought he was doomed as doomed could be….

…..it seemed like he switched sides.

Then, those weird psy-ops in Europe this past spring/summer. (“Michelle” Obama and Tom Hanks….)

And now Bruce Springsteen is sick…. He’s been “sick” for a couple of weeks already, and missed several shows, but then yesterday:

From Variety:

“Bruce Springsteen Postpones All September Tour Dates Due to Illness

His camp cited peptic ulcer disease as the reason for canceling the next three weeks of concerts. Springsteen is now not due to be back on the road till November.[…]”

So, he could have a terrible ulcer, yet they announce this
“Breaking News” on the day that Jill has COVID (that disease that no one actually has anymore), and so does Whoopie… which generally means these two are Gitmo bound, right?

So I just find the timing — the whole entire thing — absolutely curious. We’ll just have to see.

Anyway, that’s really it. I’m heading back to the lovely train station for the next few days, then down to see my dad again on Sunday.

There’s a final zoom call with the director of our play tomorrow and then that is it, gang! Sandra will be bound for Toronto!! (I won’t be joining her until the end of October.)

Things with the play are going unbelievably great, although I can’t really blog about the details. What I can say is that I am very deeply and incredibly happy with this play. Even though it is the story of Sandra’s life, I relate to it personally on so many levels. And it makes me so happy to see her finally taking the story (and songs) to the stage.

That’s it. I’m gonna just take it easy until I have to head into town.

Enjoy your Thursday, wherever you are in the world!!!

Thanks for visiting. I love you guys. See ya!

I leave you with this timeless and lovely song. This song has helped me get through some of the worst times of my life — saving me again and again over many, many years.

RIP, George.

Enjoy, gang.

Wow, gang. It is finally done.

The final, final, FINAL draft of the play. I finally finished it today and sent it back over to Sandra.

And, naturally, the heat around here has been off-the-charts, so I’m really wiped out but I couldn’t be happier.

I don’t have anything really to post beyond that, except that Phil is doing a Rapid Fire Q & A tonight, starting at 8PM Eastern, and those are really fun and usually very informative.

As always, though, check his channel later to confirm.

This was in Charlie Ward’s newsletter earlier today, and I found it interesting:

“Russian newspaper TASS reports, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared that Russia’s military operation is targeted not at the Ukrainian populace, but against what he termed “Banderite monsters.” Speaking at a meeting of Russia’s Victory organizing committee, Putin stressed the imperative to unearth and present evidence to the international community to clarify the objectives of Russia’s actions and the nature of its adversaries. He underscored that their conflict is not with the Ukrainian citizens but with these “monsters” and their affiliates, referencing the historical victims of the Banderites, including Jews who were massacred.

Presidential Aide Vladimir Medinsky, during the discussion, highlighted that during World War II, known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia, the Nazi genocide resulted in the death of approximately 13.5 million Soviet civilians. This number includes 1.5 million Jews who were exterminated by Nazi collaborators in Ukraine.

Responding to these points, Putin affirmed that comprehensive records exist that document these atrocities. These archives contain specific orders, action reports, and details about the individuals responsible for these crimes.”

***************

And James Tabor sent out news today about this cool archeological find!!

“A sensational find in the Judean Desert: a cache of four 1,900-year-old, excellently preserved Roman swords and a shafted weapon were discovered in a crevice in a cave in the ‘En Gedi Nature Reserve. It appears that the weapons were hidden by the Judean rebels, after they were seized from the Roman army as booty. “Finding a single sword is rare—so four? It’s a dream! We rubbed our eyes to believe it,” say the researchers…”

Here’s the new single, “Angry,” from the Rolling Stones. I like the song a lot, and most of the video… I love all of the old footage of the Stones in concert. Anyway, here it is!
