Yes, today is the day that Kara and I go see Johnny Depp and Maiwenn’s new movie, Jeanne Du Barry, in a town that is 50 miles away from me! (Because I live in the middle of nowhere and everything is at least 50 miles away from me…)

But one thing I didn’t realize is that today is Cinco de Mayo, and Kara and I are planning to meet for dinner before the movie at an old Mexican restaurant (what to expect when it’s Cinco de Mayo in a small-ish Ohio town…):

Apparently sombreros are big in America on Cinco de Mayo now, too. Maybe this is what the movie theater will look like???

Well, regardless, I’m planning on having a great evening! I have not been to an actual movie theater in about 7 years. (And the last time I went, it was to see Johnny Depp, oddly enough, in a remake of Murder on the Orient Express.)

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

Okay.

Weird, weird, “news”. More optics on top of optics on top of optics! To the point where I refuse to even post them here because most of the stuff that people (even truthers that I enjoy listening to) are trying to get us to believe is, frankly, just insane.

A Q-friendly acquaintance of mine stopped into the train station on Friday night and had some news about the Iraqi dinar. Like, everything is ready to go. At any moment. But nothing will happen, gang, until the actor is out of the white house…

But in the meantime, she had a glass of wine and sat at the counter, and we chatted about medbeds and frequency healing, etc. And she loved my music playlist. Absolutely loved it. All of it is from the 1960s.

Most people who come in to the train station to have cocktails in the evenings are of an older generation and really love my 1960s playlist. (The owner does not love my 1960s playlist and has already asked me to change it 3 times in the past year. I change it only so far as to remove the specific songs that I think he doesn’t like, but for the most part, it stays pretty much the same, because customers genuinely LOVE it.)

And here’s the song that EVERY woman of a certain age (including my Q-friend from Friday night) absolutely swoons over. The song comes on, their bodies go sort of limp, and their eyes glaze over and they say softly, “Oh man, I loved this movie! I’m still getting chills just hearing this song!!!” and I wholeheartedly concur!! I cried my heart out the first time I saw To Sir, With Love. (To be honest, I have tears in my eyes just watching this trailer. I honestly feel sorry for young women today who have been indoctrinated to despise masculine men. They are missing out on so much amazing stuff!!) Anyway:

Okay.

I digress.

Two from Real Raw News:

“Marines Arrest Oregon AG for Treason — [I’m guessing that (s)he will soon be gone, baby, gone]

United States Marines on Monday arrested Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum on treason charges arising from unequivocal proof that the anti-Second Amendment AG had unconstitutionally petitioned law enforcement to conduct “wellness checks” on registered firearms owners in Grant, Baker, and other Republican-heavy counties—conservative bastions in a vividly progressive state.

Rosenblum is a radically liberal Democrat who held office between 2012 and her arrest Monday morning. Her tenure was spent on a single, twisted agenda: depriving Oregonians of their Second Amendment Right to Bear Arms. In furthering that goal, she, in 2022, co-authored Ballot Measure 114, which, though still in litigation, bans the use, possession, manufacturing, and transfer of ammunition magazines over 10 rounds; requires a permit-to-purchase (or transfer) a firearm; and requires law enforcement to maintain a registry of gun owners’ personal information contained in the permit application including – applicant’s legal name, current address and telephone number, date and place of birth, physical description, fingerprints, pictures, and ANY additional information determined necessary by law enforcement. Moreover, Rosenblum encouraged fanatical district attorneys to prosecute persons involved in self-defense shootings. […]”

Also–another one:

“JAG Sentences Deep State Judge to Hang

A three-officer panel at Camp Blaz, Guam, found Fulton County, Georgia, Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee guilty of treason and sentenced him to death by hanging, JAG sources told Real Raw News.

As reported on April 5, JAG investigators enforcing a military arrest warrant apprehended McAffee on April 3 outside the Fulton County courthouse, after which they brought him to JAG’s Pensacola processing center and, later, Camp Blaz. McAfee was at first charged with defrauding the United States of America and election interference, but JAG upgraded the charges to treason after the vitriolic judge admitted during an interrogation that he had preordained President Trump’s guilt. […]”

[…] His execution is scheduled for May 15. “

Breakfast-listening music!! (I am really enjoying having my music playing again during breakfast. I had kept the CD player in the kitchen off for 6 months, so as not to disturb my houseguests, but now I just play it loud enough to hear in the kitchen. A little thing like that makes me really happy in the morning.)

From Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers second album, You’re Gonna Get It!– “No Second Thoughts”. 1978. Enjoy.

“No Second Thoughts”

She threw down her golden band
Crushed it with her feet into the sand
Took her silent partner by the hand
Yeah yeah oh yeah yeah

Somewhere near the edge of town
She said she was torn and turned around
“Can you help me cast this evil down?”
Yeah yeah oh yeah yeah

We’ll drive for the line now
There’s nothing to be lost
You and I will cross over
With no second thoughts

We’ll drive for the line now
There’s nothing to be lost
You and I will cross over
With no second thoughts

Dreams fade hope dies hard
She cups her eyes and looks out at the stars
Says, “I feel we’ve travelled very far.”
Yeah yeah oh yeah yeah
Yeah yeah oh yeah yeah
Yeah yeah oh yeah yeah

c – 1978 Tom Petty

My frame of mind today.

From one of my favorite albums of all time — “Let’s Go Down to the Woods” by the Screaming Blue Messiahs, from their album Gun Shy, 1986. (Also, just FYI, if they ever have a Celebration of Life gathering for me, I hope they play this ENTIRE album! Really loud!!) Enjoy.

Let’s Go Down to the Woods

When I was a bouncing baby boy, my momma took me down to the wishing well
Then she threw in the silver coins and said “Learn this lesson, and learn it well”
“Go away to college, lose all vision – go away to college. That’s my position”
Lets’ go down to the woods and pray, pray pray for a brighter day
There’s a man lying face down in the dirt, his body a burned out shell
But you won’t get no sense from him ‘cause his mind is burned as well
“Go away to college, lose all vision – go away to college. That’s my position”
Lets’ go down to the woods and pray, pray pray for a brighter day
Lets’ go down to the woods and pray, pray pray for a brighter day
Hey, you want to buy something? Want to buy something from me?
Why, it’s not for sale – not for sale
Know what I mean? Not for sale!
Don’t do it tomorrow, do it today
“Go away to college, lose all vision – go away to college. That’s my position”
Lets’ go down to the woods and pray, pray pray for a brighter day
Lets’ go down to the woods and pray, pray pray for a brighter day
Why does it have to be this way? That’s what all the people say
Yes, I know it’s hard to find happiness and peace of mind
Yes it is
Lets’ go down to the woods and pray, pray pray for a brighter day
Lets’ go down to the woods and pray, pray pray for a brighter day
Lets’ go down to the woods and pray, pray pray for a brighter day
Lets’ go down to the woods and pray, pray pray for a brighter day
Why does it have to be this way? That’s what all the people say
Why does it have to be this way? That’s what all the people say
I say, I say, I say, I say
Lets’ go down to the woods and pray
Don’t do it tomorrow, do it today
You got anything else to say, any last requests?
Whose blood are you gonna suck?
Any last requests?

“Somewhere over the Rainbow” – Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwoʻole

I could not believe how beautiful it was out here in the Hinterlands this morning, gang.

It was hot enough last night to keep all the windows open when I went to bed, so the birds woke me at 5am, just singing like crazy. And, of course, it’s been a year since I heard all that and it made me so happy to know for sure that summer is on its way.

And I was down in the kitchen when the sun actually came up and the sky was that perfect blue, only dotted here and there with a puffy white cloud. No rain in sight. A breeze coming through all the open windows while I fed the many happy cats. And Tom Petty’s posthumous “The Best of Everything” was on the kitchen CD player… And it made me feel happy to be alive again.

It was a rough few days back at the train station. It turned out that I wasn’t really ready to be back at work, but back I went. It shot my nerves and exhausted me and wore me out and it bordered on depressing me, but I keep trying to hold on to my perspective — when my dad died, he and I were in a really, really good place. And it’s not like I didn’t know he was going to die soon. Those are two things to be really grateful for.

Anyway. Today is beautiful, so I will definitely go out and take a walk. Then I’m going to do some quick work on the play and send it back to Sandra and then the rest of the week, I’m going to work on the TV pilot with Peitor and just try to get back to life.

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

The only news I found interesting today was over at Real Raw News. Another development with the so-called “Red Hats”.

I don’t know if the Red Hats are real, gang. But I have always had a soft spot in my heart for vigilante justice. I realize that it’s a huge conflict to be a Constitutionalist and then also be — well, not really in favor of vigilante justice, but quietly happy to see it happen sometimes.

If you aren’t aware yet of the Red Hats development, you can read other articles at Real Raw News and find out about it. (Although, a very, very interesting one that involved a hospital orderly Red Hat, and Klaus Schwab when he was still on life-support, has since been removed. Hmmm….)

Anyway. Here’s the article for today:

“Revenge of the Red Hats

Real Raw News has learned that Colonel Kurtz, leader of the Red Hats, has claimed responsibility for a blaze that engulfed part of a pier in Oceanside, California, Thursday afternoon.

The inferno erupted at the far end of the iconic pier at 3:00 p.m. and swiftly engulfed a vacant building, formerly Ruby’s Diner, which closed permanently three years ago when the now-deceased Gavin Newsom’s Plandemic policies forced countless businesses into bankruptcy. […]

[…] on Friday Gen. Smith received from Col. Kurtz an email in which the Red Hat leader admitted that his forces had set the building aflame because the Deep State had used the shuttered restaurant as a waypoint in child trafficking operations. Per Kurtz’s allegations, the Deep State had brought bound and gagged children to the abandoned diner, sedated them, and then departed to hunt down more children. Meanwhile, a yacht would pull alongside the pier; armed men dressed in black would disembark, retrieve the drugged, helpless kids, and ferry them to either Catalina or San Clemente Island, 61 and 140 miles off the coast, respectively, at which point they were transferred like cargo onto a larger vessel and shipped south “probably to Columbia.” […]

For several days, I have listened to these two songs over and over, and somehow, it is helping me process my entire life.

They are both from Tom Waits’ album, Mule Variations, which came out in 1999, and which I hadn’t listened to in a long time: “Get Behind the Mule,” and “Hold On.” And both songs were co-written with his wife, Kathleen Brennan. See if they help you, too. You never know, right? Okay. Enjoy, gang.

“Get Behind The Mule”

Molly be damned smote Jimmy the Harp
With a horrid little pistol and a lariat
She’s goin to the bottom
And she’s goin down the drain
Said she wasn’t big enough to carry it

She got to get behind the Mule
In the morning and plow
She got to get behind the Mule
In the morning and plow
She got to get behind the Mule
In the morning and plow
She got to get behind the Mule
In the morning and plow

Choppity chop goes the axe in the woods
You gotta meet me by the fall down tree
Shovel of dirt upon a coffin lid
And I know they’ll come lookin for me boys
And I know they’ll come a-lookin for me

Got to get behind the Mule
In the morning and plow
Got to get behind the Mule
In the morning and plow
Got to get behind the Mule
In the morning and plow
Got to get behind the Mule
In the morning and plow

Big Jack Earl was 8’1
He stood in the road and he cried
He couldn’t make her love him
Couldn’t make her stay
But tell the good Lord that he tried

[Chorus]

Dusty trail from Atchison to Placerville
On the wreck of the Weaverville stage
Beaula fired on Beatty for a lemonade
I was stirring my brandy with a nail boys
Stirring my brandy with a nail

[Chorus]

Well the rampaging sons of the widow James
Jack the cutter and the pock marked kid
Had to stand naked at the bottom
Of the cross
And tell the good lord what they did
Tell the good lord what they did

[Chorus]

Punctuated birds on the power line
In a Studebaker with the Birdie Joe Joaks
I’m diggin all the way to China
With a silver spoon
While the hangman fumbles with the noose, boys
The hangman fumbles with the noose

[Chorus]

Pin your ear to the wisdom post
Pin your eye to the line
Never let the weeds get higher
Than the garden
Always keep a sapphire in your mind
Always keep a diamond in your mind

[Chorus]

c – 1999 Kathleen Brennan, Tom Waits

“Hold On”

They hung a sign up in our town
“if you live it up, you won’t
live it down”
So, she left Monte Rio, son
Just like a bullet leaves a gun
With charcoal eyes and Monroe hips
She went and took that California trip
Well, the moon was gold, her
Hair like wind
She said don’t look back just
Come on Jim

Oh you got to
Hold on, Hold on
You got to hold on
Take my hand, I’m standing right here
You gotta hold on

Well, he gave her a dimestore watch
And a ring made from a spoon
Everyone is looking for someone to blame
But you share my bed, you share my name
Well, go ahead and call the cops
You don’t meet nice girls in coffee shops
She said baby, I still love you
Sometimes there’s nothin left to do

Oh you got to
Hold on, hold on
You got to hold on
Take my hand, I’m standing right here, you got to
Just hold on.

Well, God bless your crooked little heart, St. Louis got the best of me
I miss your broken-china voice
How I wish you were still here with me

Well, you build it up, you wreck it down
You burn your mansion to the ground
When there’s nothing left to keep you here, when
You’re falling behind in this
Big blue world

Oh you got to
Hold on, hold on
You got to hold on
Take my hand, I’m standing right here
You got to hold on

Down by the Riverside motel,
It’s 10 below and falling
By a 99 cent store she closed her eyes
And started swaying
But it’s so hard to dance that way
When it’s cold and there’s no music
Well your old hometown is so far away
But, inside your head there’s a record
That’s playing, a song called

Hold on, hold on
You really got to hold on
Take my hand, I’m standing right here
And just hold on

c – 1999 Kathleen Brennan, Tom Waits

So many things have changed since I was last at the train station.

Not only did my dad die (and in the past week or so, I’ve driven 650 miles and, you know, didn’t actually go anywhere but here.)

The other thing that changed, is that one of my house guests here, who worked at the train station with me, was let go.

This means that I’m back to always driving alone in my car, which I kind of prefer. It also means that I get to listen to Dan Bongino again on my way home from the train station at night! Because I will be totally alone in my car and so politics is okay! Yay.

Even though Bongino is not Q-related at all, and even though he acts as if Biden, et al, are still alive — I believe he’s doing it on purpose and that he’s part of helping people to gently wake up.

Plus, he makes me LAUGH and I don’t get enough of that anymore.

Oh, and PS: Regarding my house guest, even though it’s impossible to find affordable housing around here right now, one thing you can always find is a job. There are nothing but places wanting to hire people. In fact, he already got hired at a new place yesterday, but he doesn’t start for a week or so.

*******

Okay.

Charlie’s daily update for today.

CHARLIE WARD DAILY NEWS WITH PAUL BROOKER & DREW DEMI -THURSDAY 25TH APRIL 2024 (10 mins):

***********

Charlie mentions this in his daily update today, and Phil also re-posted it yesterday, too. Not exactly sure how this will unfold, obviously, but, as I try to encourage everyone I know who still banks with Chase — get out.

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

And, regarding Chase. I used to bank with Chase for years and years. I traveled a lot, and I was also paid by publishers overseas, and Chase was the most convenient bank imaginable for things like that.

Still, I left Chase 4 years ago and went entirely local and I prefer that. But it is unbelievably inconvenient for getting paid by overseas publishers. In fact, I lost a really great steady writing gig because I could never get paid anymore, due to being with such a small local bank. The foreign funds would never transfer.

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

This is incredibly sickening. If this stuff is new to you, proceed with caution. I still recommend you read the whole article, though.

From Real Raw News yesterday:

“Putin Destroys Ukrainian Pedophile Communication Network

[…] He said that on April 19 Spetznas raided the home of child trafficker Anton Doroshenko, whom the FSB had linked to a spate of kidnappings.

“These filth kidnap our children from border towns and cities to sell as sex slaves. President Putin has said to show these monsters no mercy,” Zakharov said.

The Spetznas, he added, stormed the home and found Doroshenko and three companions sitting on a sofa beside a television.  […] which displayed a live broadcast of adolescent boys and girls engaged in sexual acts. The children had been fitted with electric shock collars. An obese man stood next to them, a Kalashnikov in one hand and a remote control in the other. […]

This morning, I decided to start listening to music on my kitchen CD player again, while getting breakfast together for me and the cats!

I’d stopped doing it when my house guests came to stay, but I miss it. So now I just try to play it really quietly.

This morning’s listening-music! From the the first Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers album, “Rockin’ Around With You”, 1976. They were so young!!! Enjoy!!

“Rockin’ Around (With You)”

Why be lonely
Why be blue
You got me babe, I got you
And I can’t stop thinkin’ ’bout
How I dig rockin’ around with you

I was waiting
You came through
You knew no one else will do
And I can’t stop thinkin’ ’bout
How I dig rockin’ around with you

You know I dig rockin’ around
You know I dig rockin’ around
You know I dig rockin’ around

c – 1976 Tom Petty and Mike Campbell
