Here’s Charlie’s daily news update for today. Some interesting stuff here. (Oh, and that Basel 4 compliant thing isn’t until July, not January… so we still have about 6 months to watch banks tumble and crash…)

CHARLIE WARD DAILY NEWS WITH PAUL BROOKER & DREW DEMI – THURSDAY 25TH JANUARY 2024 (17 mins):

I love Sacha Stone. This is a great update, although it sometimes skates a really fine line between truth and optics, so just be discerning.

Arise Guerilla News! NEWS UPDATES JAN 21ST (1 hr 51 mins):

And that’s all that really jumped out at me today.

Oh, and I also noticed there’s a whole lot of “John Lennon” bashing still going on all over YouTube. Trying to make it seem like he was absolutely evil. Wonder when they’re ever going to give that a rest? (Can’t imagine who was behind planting all those seeds in the first place….)

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

Okay.

There is, in fact, a ton of other “stuff” going on, but most of it is that “looks like WWIII” type of stuff , which I don’t bother to post here, since you can get that kind of noise everywhere you look — and we still have optics galore out there, gang.

I really like what Charlie Ward is doing, by giving us a quick round-up of the items that are worth noting every morning.

Around here —

Yesterday, afternoon, I finished the first draft of the screen adaptation of the opening pages of our play, “The Guide to being Fabulous” and sent it off to Sandra for her feedback. And then, of course, round 2.

Today, I head back to the train station, but this is my first week of having my hours cut back, so I actually have a little bit more time to myself today. I’m going to try to focus on “Novitiate,” until I get Sandra’s comments about the script.

Enjoy your day, everybody, wherever you are in the world.

Thanks for visiting.

I love you guys. See ya!

I guess you really gotta hate a guy who writes a song like this one, right?

OR — OOPS!

Maybe it was because of songs like this…. (fake McCartney, anyone?)

“How Do You Sleep?”

So sgt. pepper took you by surprise
You better see right through that mother’s eyes
Those freaks was right when they said you was dead
The one mistake you made was in your head
How do you sleep?
Ah how do you sleep at night?

You live with straights who tell you “you was king”
Jump when your mamma tell you anything
The only thing you done was yesterday
And since you’ve gone you’re just another day
How do you sleep?
Ah how do you sleep at night?

A pretty face may last a year or two
But pretty soon they’ll see what you can do
The sound you make is muzak to my ears
You must have learned something all those years
How do you sleep?
Ah how do you sleep at night?

c – 1971 John Lennon

“Mind Games”

We’re playing those mind games together
Pushing the barriers planting seeds
Playing the mind guerrilla
Chanting the Mantra peace on earth
We all been playing those mind games forever
Some kinda druid dudes lifting the veil
Doing the mind guerrilla
Some call it magic the search for the grail

Love is the answer and you know that for sure
Love is a flower you got to let it grow

So keep on playing those mind games together
Faith in the future out of the now
You just can’t beat on those mind guerrillas
Absolute elsewhere in the stones of your mind
Yeah we’re playing those mind games forever
Projecting our images in space and in time

Yes is the answer and you know that for sure
Yes is surrender you got to let it go

So keep on playing those mind games together
Doing the ritual dance in the sun
Millions of mind guerrillas
Putting their soul power to the karmic wheel
Keep on playing those mind games forever
Raising the spirit of peace and love
(I want you to make love, not war
I know you’ve heard it before)

c – 1973 John Lennon
