Honestly, gang, we are so flooded with optics these days, that when I saw the announcement (everywhere) that Putin announced he was running for President in 2024 — I literally thought he meant here in the US!
I actually thought he was being funny…
Then, of course, it finally penetrated my over-optic’d brain that he meant President of Russia…
Anyway. If you want optics, gang, spare 19 minutes of your day and listen to this update from Ben Fulford (from Dec. 4th). The now-unfathomable depth of optics being put forth here will boggle your mind.
However, buried within all this insanity (lies, I guess is a good word for it), are actual pieces of news. And some of it just staggers me.
Fulford is the one who told us (last Spring, I think it was) that the Presidents of Mexico and Turkey had been assassinated by Black Hats (heart attack weapons) and replaced with White Hat body doubles in order to block WWIII.
In this video update below, Fulford also maintains that Kim Jong Un was taken out right after agreeing to meet with President Trump, and that there’s been a body double in his place now for several years. (I can’t vouch for it, obviously, since I am way over here in the middle of nowhere, Ohio.) (And of course, there are still persistent rumors that Putin was taken out several years ago, too, and that the current Putin is a White Hat body double, as well. And, of course, when you start comparing photos… well, no way does that look like the same guy, right?)
Almost like looking at “Lady Gaga”, who was allegedly executed for Crimes Against Humanity in 2020. You try to compare photos of he/she over the years, and today, no way on Earth does it look like the same person (or gender — “Lady Gaga” now looks like a full-fledged biological female). But they chalk it up to years and years of plastic surgeries, and other surgeries…
So, you try to stay on top of it. I’m exhausted.
Anyway, here is the Fulford Report and it is definitely worth listening to!
BEN FULFORD GEOPOLITICAL NEWS 04.12.2023 (19 mins):
**********
I thought that this was interesting, in connection to what Fulford reported about Erdogan allegedly being assassinated last Spring, and also what Phil told us recently about Putin eventually declaring war on Israel, which would bring the whole world to a head and this god-awful movie to a close…
“NOW – Erdogan says Turkey ‘is ready to take responsibility to prevent further bloodshed’ in Gaza.
‘We now realize that international organizations responsible for ensuring global peace and security lack problem-solving capability,’ Erdogan added.”

In other news…
Today is Shane MacGowan’s funeral in Dublin, and it is also the 43rd anniversary of the murder of John Lennon (by the CIA). (Readhere, if you missed my previous attempts to bang you over the head with it: KILL THE MESSENGER: The Murder of John Lennon by CIA Operation 40 – By Gualdo Hidalgo.)

The Pogues – “Fairytale Of New York” (Official Video), 1988, from the album, If I Should Fall From Grace with God.
“Insurrection Act Supersedes Posse Comitatus as Legal Basis for President Trump to Restore Order in 2nd Term”
And still no intel on what it was that happened that is allegedly bringing Trump back “sooner” than anticipated, but Phil had a short video update about it yesterday. Link is HERE in case you didn’t see it.

I’m seriously over trying to create a link to my zazzle merch store that actually works, so what I did was create a merch page here on the blog, with each individual product. It’s in the menu, under “About Marilyn Jaye Lewis” — here is the direct link.
The Cyber Monday sale prices are over, though.
********
I still have not had the mental or emotional energy to get all the Christmas stuff out of the storage closet yet. I’m working on it, though.
The more I don’t do it, the more stressed I get. And the more stressed I get, the less I feel like doing it…
*******
Okay. That’s really it for now. If something happens, I will be back here later and I will post it!!
Have a terrific Tuesday, wherever you are in the world.
My zazzle store has actually launched!!! And as luck would have it, they are having a Cyber Monday sale today, so everything is 50% off!!! (Although, I have to say, that the shipping charges over there are really insane. But anyway…)
I’m guessing you know TONS of people who want these playing cards for Christmas!! (Do NOT give them to anyone who has NOT already read this filthy dirty wonderful book!! They will NOT be amused and/or they will think you have your filthy mind seriously in the gutter…)
$5.43 plus shipping, only for Cyber Monday
And there are 14 coffee mugs to choose from!! Here are a couple:
Basically, any book I authored myself — meaning not the collections I edited — now has a companion coffee mug!!! I cannot imagine what could be better than that!!!
*********
Okay, that’s actually it for right now, gang.
If anything comes up later, I will be back!!
Enjoy your Monday, wherever you are in the world.
Thanks for visiting. I love you guys. See ya!!

Just some happy music for this happy Zazzle store Monday! Enjoy!!!
Life is still a little topsy-turvy here, gang. The weekend at the train station just about killed me. Wow, were we busy. It was really just off-the-charts. Everybody in town was looking for a reason to get the holiday spirit underway.
I am recovering from complete exhaustion and “collapse-ation” — a new word, which implies that I collapsed but managed to get back up!
We might get the Christmas decorations up around here today (!!), but I’m leaning toward seriously doubting it. (I have some houseguests here now indefinitely, and they are trying to get their lives settled in, too.)
Anyway. Here I am.
Phil did do a live Q &A on Friday. If you missed it, here is the replay (1hr 38 mins):
And, best news yet — Phil just posted that Trump will be back in office sooner than anticipated and that something happened since his last live.
“Shane was blessed with an uncommon spirit of goodness and a deep sense of what is true, which was strangely amplified in his brokenness, his humanness. We can say of him most certainly, ‘he was beloved on the earth,’ and Sinéad too — truly beloved and greatly missed, both.”
I might not be able to post here for the next couple days. I have some houseguests moving in later today, staying for an extended period.
And the next 2 nights at the train station are supposed to be very busy — holiday wine tastings and festive Christmas stuff, and also later hours.
Then, I think on Sunday, we will get all the Christmas decorations up around here.
And so I am guessing I will be sort of exhausted. We will see! (Funny, how one minute, you’re only 12, and the next minute, you’re actually 63…)
Although, I did get a great compliment yesterday! From a woman who is younger than me. She asked me how I keep my skin looking so young!! Wow. Thank you. It is a combination of a few things. One, I no longer wear makeup. Just mascara, once in a while. I drink a lot of filtered water. But mostly, I swear by these two things everyday!! They are awesome, seriously:
*********
Okay.
I really only saw one thing that interested me today.
“🌍 What is Common African Position on Asset Recovery Adopted by African Union?
On Friday, the African Union reportedly adopted the Common Africa Position on Asset Recovery (CAPAR) aimed at returning assets to the continent.
Sputnik Africa explains the nature of the mechanism, the steps it envisages, and why it is crucial for the continent’s development.
“It is now possible for stolen money from Africa and stashed in the foreign banks to be recovered,” Charity Nchimunya, the executive secretary of the AU Advisory Board Against Corruption, said.”
It doesn’t mean that there wasn’t lots more “news” out there today, it just means that this item was the only thing that struck me as really saying something concrete.
************
Okay.
Phil did not do his livestream yesterday. He has no date set for when he will do it, which only means that a lot is going on behind the scenes, as usual. So we just have to sit tight.
************
That is it. I gotta get stuff done around here!!
Enjoy your Friday, wherever you are in the world.
Thanks for visiting.
I love you guys. See ya!

More beautiful stuff from The Pogues that I listened to a hundred times while driving to work yesterday, feeling really sort of wistful and sad, gang. Where the hell did it all go? It was such a hard life back then, but we were so fucking ALIVE. Anyway, listen. Enjoy. Take care of yourselves out there.
“Dirty Old Town,” 1985. From Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash.
I am so saddened to hear that Shane MacGowan died today. If you don’t know who he was, he became famous in the early 1980s, with his amazing band, The Pogues, but even in years of ill health, he continued to be really creative.
What an amazing amount of joy he brought me when his music first came into my life, back in that little hellhole apartment on E.12th Street in NYC, gang. Wow. I will never forget it.
His wife, Victoria Clarke, posted a very dear and heartbreaking farewell to Shane on Instagram this morning:
*********
I don’t have much other news today.
I found this interesting. An update on Australia, among other topics —
Charlie Ward and Riccardo Bosi – THE WORLD WIDE FIGHT ACROSS THE GLOBE (1 hr):
“Russia has won this war, and there is no way we can change this outcome
This was stated by former US intelligence officer Scott Ritter. According to him, Western countries already recognize this and actively call for negotiations.
“This means that everything the EU and NATO said about this conflict turned out to be a lie — an outright lie,” he says.”
[Oh, and PS: I’ve been trying to tell them that for, what, 2 years already??]
************
Okay, that’s it for now. I’m heading back to the train station for the next few nights, as the Christmas season officially begins.
Have a good Thursday, wherever you are in the world, gang.

“Sally MacLennane”
Well Jimmy played harmonica in the pub where I was born He played it from the night time to the peaceful early morn He soothed the souls of psychos and the men who had the horn And they all looked very happy in the morning
Now Jimmy didn’t like his place in this world of ours Where the elephant man broke strong men’s necks When he’d had too many Powers So sad to see the grieving of the people that he’s leaving And he took the road for God knows in the morning
We walked him to the station in the rain We kissed him as we put him on the train And we sang him a song of times long gone Though we knew that we’d be seeing him again (Far away) sad to say I must be on my way So buy me beer and whiskey ’cause I’m going far away (far away) I’d like to think of me returning when I can To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane
The years passed by the times had changed I grew to be a man I learned to love the virtues of sweet Sally MacLennane I took the jeers and drank the beers and crawled back home at dawn And ended up a barman in the morning
I played the pump and took the hump and watered whiskey down I talked of whores and horses to the men who drank the brown I heard them say that Jimmy’s making money far away And some people left for heaven without warning
We walked him to the station in the rain We kissed him as we put him on the train And we sang him a song of times long gone Though we knew that we’d be seeing him again (Far away) sad to say I must be on my way So buy me beer and whiskey ’cause I’m going far away (far away) I’d like to think of me returning when I can To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane
When Jimmy came back home he was surprised that they were gone He asked me all the details of the train that they went on Some people they are scared to croak but Jimmy drank until he choked And he took the road for heaven in the morning
We walked him to the station in the rain We kissed him as we put him on the train And we sang him a song of times long gone Though we knew that we’d be seeing him again (Far away) sad to say I must be on my way So buy me beer and whiskey ’cause I’m going far away (far away) I’d like to think of me returning when I can To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane
You probably already saw this everywhere, so why not here, too??
From Real Raw News:
“JAG Arrests Stephen Colbert
JAG’s new detainment center on Guam will soon have its first detainee: Trump-hating, vaccine-loving, liberal talk show host Stephen Colbert, host of CBS’s Late Night with Stephen Colbert. […]
Colbert, whose eponymous show is seen by 3.9m viewers nightly, is widely viewed as the second most liberal talk show host in the country—Jimmy Kimmel takes top honors. Colbert’s chumminess with top Democrats is legendary. In June 2021, he stoked what Joe Rogan called “mass psychosis” for a skit that featured a dance troupe dressed as vaccine syringes and, in October 2022, joined a Fauci body double (the real Fauci was hanged in April 2022) at a Walgreens for fresh booster shots on live television. Since the plandemic’s inception, Colbert dedicated over 1,750 show hours advocating for clot shots he had never received. […]
And if you have a strong stomach, please watch THIS. It will make you sick, but at least you’ll understand why everyone in the Q movement is excited about Colbert’s alleged arrest…

Another good telegram channel that seems to be worth following:
“🇸🇱 A “failed coup attempt” took place in Sierra Leone, authorities say
The aim of the clashes that occurred 2 days ago was to “overthrow a democratically elected government”, said the Sierra Leonean Minister of Information.
Here is what happened:
🔺 The violence took place early in the morning on November 26. Attackers attempted to break into the military armory of a barracks near Freetown. The attacks were repelled.
🔺 On the same day, the central prison, another penitentiary establishment and two police stations were stormed, around 2,000 prisoners escaped.
🔺 Following this, the curfew was declared. Currently, it is in effect from 9 pm to 6 am nationwide.
🔺 More than 20 people lost their lives, according to the authorities. The attackers are currently being sought.”
“🇷🇺🇿🇦 Russia-South Africa trade increases by 30% in 10 months, Russia’s deputy agriculture minister says

Okay, you gotta see this!!!
When I first moved to NYC in 1980, the guitar I brought with me was a Harmony acoustic. I played that in the clubs for a few years, until the musicians who played onstage with me said: “Please! You gotta get a better guitar, Marilyn!” And so I did.
Meanwhile. Here’s a photo of Keith from a long time ago!!!! It’s an electric guitar, but check out the brand:

Yes, it’s 20 degrees Fahrenheit out there and beginning to snow!! And, yes, Kon Tiki of the Great Outdoors refuses to stay inside for more than an hour at a time…
HER: “Can I come in?”
HER: “Okay, I want to go back out now.”
HER: “Can I come in again?”
HER: “Okay, I want to go back out now.”
And on and on and on.
Anyway.
My trip to my dad’s went very, very well. When I arrived, my stepsister was there to greet me. My dad had asked her to stop by, in order to assure me that she had about 6 years’ worth of food supplies on her farm, and also tons of seeds to continue growing her own food, along with plenty of guns, and gasoline, and solar panels, and a generator, and everything else imaginable. And that if she needed to get to my dad and for some reason wouldn’t be allowed to drive, she would either walk or ride her horse, and that she’s only a few miles away….
So. I guess I don’t have to worry that my dad will go hungry anytime soon. Wow.
I thought that was really nice of her to drop what she was doing and come over and tell me that yesterday.
Oh, and also–
5 (FIVE!!) military vehicles on the freeway yesterday!! Which is a lot for around here.

So, I saw this on Monday morning . I’ve seen similar posts over the last couple of days, and I’m wondering if it’s part of that “Putin declaring war on Israel” before the year is out (?).
“🇵🇸🇷🇺 Hamas announces the release of a Russian citizen held hostage since October 7.
Hamas said it released the hostage at the request of Russian President Vladimir Putin in appreciation of his position on the Palestinian issue.”

Here’s another Putin post from the other day, along with more on the vigilante justice situation at GITMO.
From Real Raw News:
“Putin Bombs Big Pharma in Ukraine
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday ordered the destruction of a Kyiv pharmaceutical laboratory suspected of manufacturing COVID-19 vaccines that reached the arms of Russian citizens.
The Farmak plant was flattened Wednesday night by hypersonic cruise missiles launched from a Russian frigate in the Black Sea, Real Raw News has learned. The blast and ensuing fireball killed approximately 150 employees, Russian intelligence sources told RRN. […]
“GITMO Guards Who Murdered Erik Hooks Take Plea Deal
The Guantanamo Bay guards who beat detainee Erik Hooks to death have accepted a deal instead of a court martial that could have seen them hang and tainted JAG’s stellar reputation, a JAG source told Real Raw News. […]
[…] According to bodycam footage, the guards, who are Black, called Hooks a “Deep State disgrace to your race” as they shattered his jaw, and said, “This is for everyone in Maui” while clubbing him. […]

Mike Campbell (of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers) – Extended Interview (from the MOJO Documentary Directed by Sam Jones) (15 mins):
My favorite song from an amazing album —
“Let Yourself Go” from Mojo, 2010. Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. Enjoy.
“Let Yourself Go”
Rain on the river, I’m soaking wet Waiting on a friend who ain’t come yet And he might not get here for three or four days Got to make a little bit go a long way
I’ve got a blond-headed woman who likes to come around Cute little hippy girl lives in town Brings a bag of records and she plays ’em ’til dawn Give me little loving then she got to go home
When times are hard When you start feeling low Let yourself go When the river’s rising And the world feels cold Let yourself go Let yourself go
I got a 442 sitting in the sun Well it’d been ten years since she used to run Man, she was a beauty in ’69 But there ain’t no more coming down the line
When times are hard And you start feeling low Let yourself go When the river’s rising And your world feels cold Let yourself go Honey, let yourself go Let yourself go
If you don’t follow Phil’s channel, please be prepared for extreme banking issues in Europe and the US, beginning this weekend, and perhaps getting progressively worse as the week goes on. Ending with election-fraud news perhaps hitting the Internet by Friday.

I don’t have a lot of money, gang, not by any stretch of the imagination, but even I can invest in fractional silver and silver Eagles. (7Kmetals.com) So please consider it ASAP, if you aren’t already doing it.

Well, Monday is the day I go down to see my dad for “Thanksgiving”. I am planning to not cough the entire time I’m there! But of course, now I want to try to get him to the grocery store while I’m down there (see Phil’s post), just to make sure my 93-year-old, terminally ill dad has non-perishables on hand.
In the place where he lives, there is a dining hall that feeds everybody. But I am panicking a little, and I said, “But, Dad, what if the kitchen workers can’t get to work for several days, or what if food becomes a little scarce and they can’t feed all of you?”
Yes! My dad started panicking, too! “What are you talking about? Why would something like that happen?”
“Because Trump really won the election in 2020.”
“I know he did, but why does that mean I won’t have any food?”
“Because there might be some form of Martial Law, keeping everyone at home for a few days.”
“Martial Law??!! But this is the United States of America! We’ve never had Martial Law. You’re scaring me!”
Yes! Being related to me has many, many joyful moments. (That wasn’t one of them, but there was one, back in the summer of 1972…)
So, anyway. Yes, I upset my dad but I didn’t mean to. But I still want to make sure he has non-perishables in his room. So I’m going to try to get him to Aldi’s on Monday, wheelchair and all.
I’m not feeling 100% hopeful, but we’ll see.
Anyway, gang. Please make sure you are stocked up with groceries this week, just in case any bank runs collide with your local food supply.

From UKR Leaks this morning — includes short video interview:
“The leader of the Servant of the People faction, David Arakhamia, gave an interesting interview the day before
He confirmed that the conflict in Ukraine could have ended last spring. They just had to choose neutrality.
‘Russia’s goal was to put pressure on us so that we would accept neutrality. This was the main thing for them: they were ready to end the war if we accepted neutrality, like Finland once did. And we would give an obligation that we would not join NATO. This was the main thing,’ – he admitted.
But then British Prime Minister Boris Johnson came to Kiev and forbade signing an agreement with Russia. He said ‘let’s just fight.'”

I know it seems hard to believe, but this was my driving-to-town-listening music (on repeat for 25 miles) from yesterday!! Yes, play it LOUD and drive about 95 mph on the deserted freeway in the middle of nowhere because you’re running late! Enjoy!
Yes, I finally stopped coughing. It happened during the night.
Yes, just in time to head back to the train station tonight… (God forbid I should have felt good when I had 5 fucking days to myself!)
Anyway. We are moving forward.
And, btw — if you want to try the goldenseal protocol for a bad cold or other viral infection or bacterial infection:
I use goldenseal root tincture (this brand):
One milliliter of goldenseal root in a small amount of water. Drink that every 2 hours for the first 8 hours, then switch to every 3 hours for a total of 3 days. And then drink plenty of water throughout. (FYI, the dropper that’s included does not have milliliter markings. I use a separate dropper that has the markings.)
I also take 1500 milligrams of chewable alfalfa tablets (500 mgs, 3 times a day).
Refrain from any probiotics or prebiotics during those 3 days, but then load up on them afterward. (You don’t need to buy those crazy-expensive supplements — I drink 2 ounces of organic apple cider vinegar daily (with the ‘mother’), as a prebiotic. And then 1 cup of organic plain Greek yogurt daily, as a probiotic. Be sure it contains active cultures and NO sugar.)
I only resort to goldenseal when it feels like the regular route is not enough (elderberry, echinacea, oil of oregano, etc.). Goldenseal is intense.
Anyway. So now I am finally fine.

I thought this was interesting. Nothing we haven’t heard Pascal talk about before, but he goes into more detail about the WEF, and the Constitution of Switzerland, which I found very informative. It’s in 2 parts, but the WEF background stuff is primarily in the first part:

Some intense stuff has been on Real Raw News again and I refrained from posting it, but today there was another interesting item, so I’ll go ahead and post a couple of them today.
This one really disturbed me– not that I necessarily oppose vigilante justice (I’m not referring to all-out mob “justice”), but the details of this were kind of gruesome:
“FEMA Official Beaten to Death at GITMO
A former FEMA official whom U.S. Marines arrested in August was beaten to death at Guantanamo Bay, a JAG source told Real Raw News.
[…] On September 13, a Camp Delta guard began clubbing Hooks with a baton after escorting him to the shower stalls, which have no security cameras. Hooks, handcuffed as the beating started, was struck twice on each kneecap before collapsing in a puddle of water. The unnamed guard then bludgeoned Hooks’ torso and face, as Hooks entreated the guard for mercy. Approximately two minutes later, with the guard mercilessly pounding Hooks, a second guard entered the stall and joined in the assault, kicking a prone and defenseless Hooks in the teeth. The guards’ unswerving desire to end Hooks’ life lasted several minutes, at which point one guard felt for a pulse and said, “Yeah, he’s gone.”
The guard who initiated the walloping immediately radioed the Master-at-arms, saying, “We need to surrender. We just killed detainee Erik Hooks. We did it for Maui.” […]
Marine Corps Base Camp Blaz in Guam has finished building a 200-cell penitentiary that will soon house “media personalities” who deceived Americans into believing that Joseph R. Biden legitimately won the 2020 presidential election, Real Raw News has learned. […]
A JAG official stationed in Guam told RRN that construction began after White Hats seized the 4,000-acre installation in January and staffed it with 2,700 patriotic Marines and sailors who denounced the Biden regime and swore to defend the Constitution of the United States. He called the prison “crude” and “basic,” saying the cement façade and steel bars are more akin to Riker’s Island than Blaz’s primary, ultramodern supermax. […]
[…] And asked when JAG plans to start populating the prison, he said, “I’m not pinning down dates, but don’t be surprised if Christmas comes early this year.” […]

I leave you with another one of my favorite albums that I’ve been revisiting lately — Catholic Boy, by the Jim Carroll Band. I love the whole album, but this particular song has a real deep place in my heart — “Day and Night”, 1980.
This album came out the year I finally moved to NYC (Nov. 15th 1980). I remember reading an incredible interview with Jim in Andy Warhol’s magazine, Interview, right before I moved to NYC, never dreaming how influential Jim Carroll would wind up being for me as a writer. I also remember my best friend at the time (still in Ohio), telling me she’d just heard an amazing song on the radio, all about a bunch of people who died… And not too long after that, I was living in NYC, seeing Jim in concert, and singing along to every single word of that song (“People Who Died”).
Anyway. “Day and Night.” Enjoy.
Day and Night
Day and night . . . the shadows move too slowly From dark to light she promised she could know me Remember when . . . I watched her on the stairway She was drinkin’ wine . . . and she told me what the Stars Say .
Some destinies, they should not be delivered . But in her eyes I saw a thousand reasons
Day and night
I feel her skin . . . it’s thin and white as pressed milk I closed my eyes and she vanished just like burnt silk And what remains was like some fallen thunder And my lips were chained; they were filled with empty wonder
But the stars tell lies, it blinds the only warning And when darkness dies, there’s nothing left but morning .
Just day and night
Day and night . . . the shadows start to scatter When touched by light . . . each promise made is shattered And even when the questions find the answer But even then, they’re something like a dancer But even then, they’re something like a dancer Like day and night . . . dark to light I move from day to night
