Well, now it’s sort of “ice/rain” day, but it snowed for several hours early this morning. And I managed to spring yet another new leak in my bathroom ceiling. So — Yay!!

However, it’s still beautiful.

Yesterday afternoon, I drove my houseguests into Columbus and they bought a really great 2010 Kia Sedona minivan!!! In great condition. So that is a really great development for them. Their stress level immediately came down several notches. And there was much merriment in the house last evening.

Next up: they need a home. Which will come when it comes. God’s got it, to be sure.

All right.

There were many posts regarding the protests in Germany.

Here’s one from Dr. Reiner Fuellmich’s channel — includes many short videos:

“Germany – Jan. 08. 2024 – Dresden, Kiel, Munich, Erfurt, Parchim, Magdeburg, Halle, Berlin, Aurich… +++
and many many more.

The Germans have had enough, as the tide turns!

Restoring Germany’s sovereignty is the key to world peace.

Stand strong Germany. ❤️🙏”

Phil re-posted this from bioclandestine’s channel — in the event you didn’t already figure it out:

“If Trump is a pedophile, how come NONE of his enemies have EVER accused him of being a pedophile?

Clinton? Obama? Biden? Pelosi? McCain? Bush? You name them. NOBODY has ever called Trump a pedo.

But Trump and his allies have called Bill and his allies pedos, publicly.

If Trump was a pedo, how come the Deep State or the MSM have never even tried this smear angle? They’ve called him a racist, sexist, rapist, xenophobe, tax-evader, insurrectionist, treasonous, threat to democracy, agent of Russia. They’ve called him every name in the book EXCEPT pedophile. Seems like it would be a good thing to do from their perspective. But they didn’t. They STILL haven’t, even with the Epstein docs coming out.

If Trump was a pedo, why isn’t every Democrat politician firing off tweets right now about Trump being a pedo? Shouldn’t they be jumping all over this if he was?

All of Trump’s enemies, and their lapdog media, have been telling the world that pedophilia is a kooky Right-wing conspiracy theory this entire time. Why would they do that if they knew Trump was a pedo? And are we going to trust the people who were completely wrong about this topic AND were caught burying the story under threat from Bill Clinton himself?

All the moves and countermoves paint a very clear picture. The Deep State have been covering up this story for decades, they got caught, and now they are clinging to whatever straw they can grasp onto, no matter how flimsy.

These are acts of desperation.

We know it. They know it. They know that we know it. It’s only a matter of time now.”

Criminal Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin was allegedly killed in Kyiv on January 3 when Russian cruise missiles peltered a command bunker where Austin and Lieutenant General Valerii Zaluzhnyi, commander in chief of the Ukrainian Army, met secretly to discuss mounting an asymmetrical offensive to “bring Vladimir Putin to his knees,” claims a Russian FSB source known for providing invaluable intelligence and the truth behind Putin’s Special Military Operation in Ukraine.

From Shadow of Ezra yesterday:

**********

And from Trump’s absolutely endless optics– he posted this today, which basically means that, by whatever means, Lloyd Austin is gone, baby, gone:

“Failed Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin should be fired immediately for improper professional conduct and dereliction of duty. He has been missing for one week, and nobody, including his boss, Crooked [fake] Joe Biden, had a clue as to where he was, or might be. He has performed poorly, and should have been dismissed long ago, along with [court martialed, demoted, and hanged] “General” Mark Milley, for many reasons, but in particular the [fake] catastrophic surrender in Afghanistan, perhaps the most embarrassing moment in the history of our Country!”

So much of all this stuff focuses on B. Clinton, who, according to Real Raw News from 2 years ago (?), is already dead. They claimed he was not executed, but died while serving a life sentence at Gitmo…(?)

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

Speaking of Real Raw News, they’ve had a couple of interesting posts over the last couple days. This one appealed to me the most:

“JAG Greatly Reduces Sentence of Erik Hooks’ Killers

The United States Navy Judge Advocate General’s Corps has amended the prison sentence of two U.S. Army military policemen who last September beat to death detainee Erik Hooks in a Guantanamo Bay shower stall, a JAG source told Real Raw News.

As reported in December, the two MPs accepted a 20-year plea agreement instead of dealing with a court martial that could have ended in a death sentence and which JAG had sought to avoid for fear of drawing parallels between the behavior of its staff and the conduct of military police that habitually tortured Jihadi detainees at Abu Ghraib under the Bush administration. Still, that sounded more like an excuse than an explanation, for JAG sources had previously admitted to employing unorthodox tactics—waterboarding, sleep deprivation, electric shock punishment—to coerce confessions from Deep State criminals. […]

[…] On December 28, Admiral Crandall resentenced Hooks’ killers, and the commutation reduced their initial 20-year bid to a mere three years, inclusive of time already served—approximately four months.  […]

I hope you have a great first Friday of the New Year. Oh — last evening at the train station, a solitary student from the local college — blonde, very lovely — was the sole customer in our dining area. She was quietly on her laptop the whole time she was there. All she ordered was a latte.

Since she was the only customer, we started closing down early. I boxed up a freshly baked chocolate croissant and took it over to her. And I said, “Would you like to take this home with you for later? We can’t keep them overnight.”

Her whole face lit up & she said, “Yes! Thank you!” And then I went back to closing down the front of the station.

When she was leaving, she said, “Thanks again!” and smiled a really beautiful young smile…. and over on her table, she left a little handwritten note: “God loves you.”

It made my whole night. When I got home, I stuck the little note in the mirror on my dresser in my bedroom. I’ll probably keep it there forever.

Okay.

Let’s make it that kind of day again! Give love, give thanks. Enjoy your life, wherever you are in the world.

Late last night listening-music. Bob Dylan’s farewell to John Lennon. From Tempest, 2012, “Roll On John”. The song gets more intense, the more we find out about the true circumstances surrounding John’s murder. Very sobering.

Roll On, John

Doctor, doctor tell me the time of day
Another bottle’s empty, another penny spent
He turned around and he slowly walked away
They shot him in the back and down he went

Shine your light
Movin’ on
You burned so bright
Roll on, John

From the Liverpool docks to the red-light Hamburg streets
Down in the quarry with the Quarry men
Playing to the big crowds, playing to the cheap seats
Another day in the life on your way to your journey’s end

Shine your light
Movin’ on
You burned so bright
Roll on, John

Sailin’ through the trade winds bound for the south
Rags on your back just like any other slave
They tied your hands and they clamped your mouth
Wasn’t no way out of that deep dark cave

Shine your light
Movin’ on
You burned so bright
Roll on, John

I heard the news today, oh boy
They hauled your ship up on the shore
Now the city gone dark, there is no more joy
They tore the heart right out and cut him to the core

Shine your light
Movin’ on
You burned so bright
Roll on, John

Put on your bags and get ’em packed
Leave right now, you won’t be far from wrong
The sooner you go the quicker you’ll be back
You’ve been cooped up on an island far too long

Shine your light
Movin’ on
You burned so bright
Roll on, John

Slow down you’re moving way too fast
Come together right now over me
Your bones are weary, you’re about to breathe your last
Lord, you know how hard that it can be

Shine your light
Movin’ on
You burned so bright
Roll on, John

Roll on, John, roll through the rain and snow
Take the right-hand road and go where the buffalo roam
They’ll trap you in an ambush before you know
Too late now to sail back home

Shine your light
Movin’ on
You burned so bright
Roll on, John

Tyger, tyger burning bright
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
In the forests of the night
Cover ’em over and let him sleep

Shine your light
Movin’ on
You burned so bright
Roll on, John

Okay, so the first “official” Epstein docs dropped yesterday, but please make note of this–

From Controligarchsbook.com:

[…] ***CAVEAT: Much has been made about this release. It has been called a “client list.” It is definitely NOT that. These are simply documents relating to the 170+ individuals interviewed for, involved in, or otherwise relevant to the civil defamation lawsuit Giuffre v. Maxwell (1:15-cv-07433).

Inclusion in these documents DOES NOT mean the individual committed any crimes. In fact, most of the unsealed names ARE NOT perpetrators.

I suspect most people will find most of the information in these documents largely “old news.” And the same will be true for many names found in the Epstein flight logs. […]”

That said– you can download the files at that link above.

This post came from Dr. Reiner Fuellmich, who is still in prison in Germany:

👇📝💌💥 PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM REINER FUELLMICH AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR 👇📝💌💥

Rosdorf, 03.01.2024

Dear friends, supporters and companions! ❤️

I wish everyone a Happy New Year and assure everyone that I will continue. We will not let up with our educational work and the subsequent legal investigation into the plandemic.

Of course it is very difficult for me to be away from my wife and my dogs and my family and friends. But it helps me a lot that I always receive new information through the many letters and postcards, as well as very personal messages and stories. All this helps me a lot. That’s why I can still say with full conviction and determination: Some crack under pressure, I don’t!

The international colleagues with my friend Dexter and all the others are also still ready to ensure justice for all. This time the broken system will not be able to stand in front of evil.

In a somewhat longer communication in the next few days, I will be able to explain important details concerning both the case against me and our international legal work.

There is no doubt that things are moving faster and faster in our direction. But there is also no doubt that the other side is fighting for its survival, i.e. remains highly dangerous. Do not be intimidated or even discouraged: We will expose everything that must come to light and we will ensure that the collapse of the system and the transition to a new human coexistence without corruption and without violence is made possible with the help of justice.

❤️ I thank you again for your support, and I thank our ICIC team for their work. ❤️

I believe that the criminals who are trying to paralyze and financially bleed me and my wife, my family and my friends will not only fail, but each and every one of them will pay. We can be slowed down, but we cannot be stopped.

Best regards, Reiner Fuellmich

On the home front —

Yay!!!!! My shipment of incandescent light bulbs arrived yesterday! My home went from having 6 incandescent bulbs, to having 27 (!!). 

And I have this cute stained glass night light coming for the upstairs bathroom on Friday:

It is so cool having all these incandescent lights everywhere again. (And I’d forgotten how I looked in the mirror when the surrounding lights are NOT those really harsh LED bulbs.) The whole house just looks so peaceful now, especially at night.

Incandescent light bulbs are still hard to find in most stores, so I bought mine on Amazon — packs of 8 GE soft white, for $13.99, plus shipping if you aren’t in Amazon Prime.

Also, I’ve started trying to take more walks again. I used to be an avid walker, but now the leg pain from the injury I suffered by working at the pizzeria last winter — they had cement floors throughout — makes walking a real challenge.

Yesterday, even though it was only 27 degrees Fahrenheit, I decided to walk to the post office. And for some (miraculous?) reason, I also decided to wear these very heavy steel-toed hiking shoes that I never wear. Mostly, I wore them yesterday because they are nonslip and it was a little icy outside.

At first, the heaviness of the shoe was painful but I stuck with it. And by the time I got back home, my hip joint felt totally FINE! I took another brief walk later, in the same heavy shoes, and the same thing happened. No pain by the time I got home! Best of all — when I got out of bed this morning, I had no leg pain and I had only minimal discomfort getting up the stairs.

I’m guessing the shoes are like “weight training”?? So I’m going to try to do it a little bit every day and see if the leg pain might get itself gone for good!!

Aside from the great news I posted yesterday afternoon, about our play being among the Top 10 theatrical shows in Toronto for 2023 — and Off-Broadway in NYC being on our plate for 2024!!!!– that is it for the news around here!

First of all — before I forget…

Thank you to everyone who downloaded any/all of my eBooks from Smashwords during their 2023 End of Year sale.

Although. over the years, I’ve removed some of my titles from Smashwords and moved them over to LULU, I still have 4 remaining titles over there and this makes the 13th year that I’ve participated in the sale — and I always love to see that more people have downloaded the eBooks.

My 2010 novel, Freak Parade, was by far the most popular download this time. A lot of folks downloaded that eBook.

And, oddly enough, a lot of people are buying Freak Parade in print over on Amazon right now, too.

It is currently ranked in the top 2% of nearly 9 million Contemporary Literature & Fiction titles, even though it is explicit erotic fiction and I published it 13 years ago!!

Awesome, gang. Thanks for that. I really appreciate it.

If you have yet to read Freak Parade — here is but one lofty review from 13 years ago (I believe this review is by the San Francisco-based author Mark Pritchard, but he wrote it under a pen name)–

“This erotic novel is about a washed-up pop singer in New York who has to go out and get a job, start taking responsibility for herself, and stop making so many bad decisions. Along the way, she continues making a lot of bad decisions, has sex with a lot of people while working out some daddy issues, and finally meets the love of her life. A fan of the author’s work, I really enjoyed her direct, passionate and compassionate writing. Her erotic scenes, characterized by a wonderful clarity and sense of pacing, are as messed-up and hot as ever. I wanted even more! And I loved the glimpses into New York bohemian culture around the end of the 1990s, when apparently even the bohemians, thanks to the trickle down of all that money, found ways to live fairly high off the hog. You’ll really enjoy this novel.”

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

Okay.

This was from Charlie Ward’s newsletter last night:

“Former Army officer Brad Miller along with 230 other signatories, has sent an email to senior military leaders containing a letter titled the Declaration of Military Accountability. While the letter is not directly addressed to these leaders, the email serves to inform them of a collective pledge to the American people. The letter emphasizes a commitment from a group of troops and veterans to lawfully intervene against the perceived intentional harm inflicted upon our military by its leadership.[…]”

(I hope you can enlarge this and read it)

Regarding the Epstein logs… Phil reposted the names from Q from several years ago. You can view it here.

I’m guessing these are the names that appear as “???” for 9 solid years in that pdf I posted the other day.

(And, yes, I recalled it correctly: “Lady Gaga” is on there. And so is Jimmy Kimmel. Which has driven me crazy over the last few months regarding the Rolling Stones and the launch of Hackney Diamonds… Like, what fresh psy-op is this??!!)

Anyway. On we go, ever further into this psy-op world.

This afternoon, I am having my first phone chat with Sandra since our play, “The Guide to Being Fabulous” opened to wide acclaim in Toronto back in late October, 2023.

We will be discussing what is upcoming for 2024. I am very curious to find out!

**********

So that’s good.

But my trip to see my dad yesterday was very sad. At least it started out that way. I can’t post the specific details, because of privacy issues involving his caregivers, but last evening and this morning, I was able to speak with the woman who oversees my dad’s hospice stuff, and I was able to facilitate a really huge change for him that will make at least part of his life easier.

Situations like this are where having an amazing vocabulary and understanding the art of diplomacy can move mountains. (This is from decades of having been an editor in the publishing industry.)

Even though I had been incredibly sad yesterday, this morning, it felt really good to know that I was able to get my dad some relief. Especially now, since there is really not much I can do for him except be present and listen to him. And go to bat for him, when no one else is really listening.

*********

All righty. That’s really it for today.

I hope you have a wonder-filled Wednesday, wherever you are in the world!!

Listening-music from this morning! The country classic written by Kris Kristofferson and recorded by just about everybody in the 1970s… “For the Good Times.” A lovely, lovely song. Enjoy!

Just dropping in to say that I hope everyone had a great New Year’s Eve, however you chose to celebrate it.

Here, it was very quiet and very nice. And we even got quite a dusting of snow during the night!!

The day is off to a nice, slow, easy start. I’m getting my brain situated within the upcoming projects for 2024.

Sometime today, I have a phone call with Sandra, to see where we stand with theatrical projects for the coming year. And then I’m going to spend some time with my own writing. And make a pot of soup!

Have a wonderful day, wherever you are in the world. Thanks for visiting.

I love you guys. See ya!

Here is my lying in bed on a dark snowy morning listening-music!! Teho Teardo and Blixa Bargeld, “A Quiet Life,” 2010. (English, 2013.) Enjoy.

A Quiet Life

Maybe this time,
Maybe this time I’ll outwit my past
I’ll throw away the numbers, the keys
And all the cards
Maybe I can carve out a living in the cold
At the outskirts of some city
I extinguish all my recent pasts
Become another man again

And have a quiet life

A quiet life for me
A quiet life
A quiet life for me
A quiet life for someone
An acquired life for me

I lost, I ran
I started once a new
In northern grey, in drizzling rain
In salted slush and bitter hail
But the order as always merciless
It wants to see me fail
So the hunter is now the hunted
Past voices call my name
I renounce my past to live again

A quiet life
A quiet life

A quiet life for me
A quiet life for someone

An acquired life for me

I thought I have been given
Another chance again
But heaven lies as usual
I repented but in vain
It tries to cheat me out of my good aim
Take away what I never really got

My quiet life

No quiet life for me
No quiet life
No quiet life
No quiet life for me
A quiet life for someone
No quiet life for me

Even if I have to straighten
There is a life for me
A qiuet life
A quiet life for me
(A quiet life…)

All right, back to saying goodbye to 2023….

I don’t ever make resolutions for the “New Year”, because I basically make resolutions every morning that I open my eyes and discover that I am still here.

My prayer, however, for 2024 is that I will attract more peace, more quiet, so that I can focus more on my writing and finally get all the half-finished projects done.

And I hope that when my father dies, it will be extremely peacefully.

And it will be extremely interesting to see who I evolve into after my father is gone. My next big adventure — and maybe even my final one. We shall see.

One of my favorite jangly “folk songs” ever. “Love Minus Zero/No Limit” from Bob Dylan’s Bringing it All Back Home, 1965. Enjoy.

Love Minus Zero/No Limit

My love she speaks like silence,
Without ideals or violence,
She doesn’t have to say she’s faithful,
Yet she’s true, like ice, like fire.
People carry roses,
Make promises by the hours,
My love she laughs like the flowers,
Valentines can’t buy her.

In the dime stores and bus stations,
People talk of situations,
Read books, repeat quotations,
Draw conclusions on the wall.
Some speak of the future,
My love she speaks softly,
She knows there’s no success like failure
And that failure’s no success at all.

The cloak and dagger dangles,
Madams light the candles.
In ceremonies of the horsemen,
Even the pawn must hold a grudge.
Statues made of match sticks,
Crumble into one another,
My love winks, she does not bother,
She knows too much to argue or to judge.

The bridge at midnight trembles,
The country doctor rambles,
Bankers’ nieces seek perfection,
Expecting all the gifts that wise men bring.
The wind howls like a hammer,
The night blows cold and rainy,
My love she’s like some raven
At my window with a broken wing.

c- 1965 Bob Dylan

It feels like forever since I was back at the train station, but I am, alas, going back there today. It was quite an interesting Christmas around here. But for me, nothing compares to Christmas in New York City. I miss that so much. But on we go.

I’m thankful that my dad is still hanging in there. I will have another full house for New Year’s Eve (because now everyone at the train station is discovering how incredibly peaceful it is out here in the Hinterlands!!), but on Tuesday, I’m planning to finally drive down again to see my dad.

********

The other day, I finally had a chance to look over the rest of those Epstein Flight Logs that were posted to Good Lion Films’ telegram channel (I posted the 116-page pdf download here.)

For most of the pages, it was only mildly interesting. Midway through, Bill Clinton, Kevin Spacey, Chris Tucker and Cindy Lopez were suddenly on the jet a lot, and always together.

Naomi Campbell popped up a few times, by herself.

Then, later, Bill Clinton and 4 Secret Service personnel were on it several times.

The sad things were the occasional “Nanny,” “Aunts”, “baby”; and peppered throughout were the un-named “female” and “male.” And it makes you wonder if they were trafficked teenagers.

Then oddly, beginning in February of 2006, and going straight through to December 28, 2015 –no names at all, just question marks throughout.

Curious, indeed. 9 years of question marks.

It makes me wonder, of course, how those other flight logs we’ve seen — the ones loaded with high profile Hollywood names and music industry names — fit with these other flight logs.

I’m leaning toward the “question marks” being more accurate….

Anyway.

Okay.

For the last year, I’ve been replacing my LED light bulbs, little by little, with incandescent bulbs. They can be hard to find in the store — and for awhile, it was almost like they were illegal, they were so hard to find.

But yesterday, it finally occurred to me to look for them online. And so I bought 3 dozen incandescent bulbs online to get rid of every LED bulb in the house. (I’m also hoping that incandescent Christmas lights will come back someday, too. I always preferred those over the blindingly bright LED Christmas lights, but I guess we’ll see.)

Apparently, it is easier to read by incandescent light and I am very eager to find out!!

I also just began switching my phone to airplane mode at night. I always have the ringer off on my phone but I keep it on, next to my bed. Having it in airplane mode immediately cut down on the amount of ringing I have in my ears.

After my houseguests leave, I’m going to investigate hardwiring my internet router, to see if stopping the nonstop wifi makes any difference in the rest of the ringing in my ears.

I take vinpocetine 3 times a day and it also cuts down on the ringing, but it would be so nice to not have to take a pill in order to get some silence back in my brain.

If you watch this video from 2 weeks ago (which is very, very interesting), at the 14-minute mark, Matt Roeske explains how to hardwire your router and it sounds really, really easy.
