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.
Meanwhile, gold & silver are climbing. I decided to buy more silver this morning, leaving only enough in my bank account to pay my bills.
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.'”

This was interesting, too. Posted on Goodliontv — more cool old film footage from beyond the ice walls (1 minute video):

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
Well, I am home alone today for Thanksgiving. Primarily, because I coughed all night and got no sleep and I continue to be exhausted. But, as fate would have it, my dad is in really bad shape this morning with a blocked catheter, and would not have wanted me to come. The nurse is there with him now.
I feel bad for my stepsister and her family — they drove 9 hours from Alabama yesterday. But they will be there for a few days. Hopefully my dad will get a little better as the day progresses.
Anyway. Happy Thanksgiving, gang, however you spend it or honor it. I have some amazing Thanksgiving memories from my wee bonny girlhood in Cleveland, so that will have to suffice for me today.
If you missed Phil’s livestream last night, it was a very nice one. Mostly , it was really enjoyable to just have him back. The intel he had last night is already unfolding this morning. So check his channel, and also watch the replay if you missed it last night (1 hr 20 mins):
General Flynn had a nice Thanksgiving letter. You can read it in full here, but I particularly liked this part:
“[…] President Abraham Lincoln, after the victorious but very difficult Battle of Gettysburg displayed the cost of war along with apparent insurmountable odds, who proclaimed the last Thursday of November to be set aside as a day to reflect on the sacrifices of Gettysburg, and of all previous wars, as a “day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father.” President Lincoln wanted Americans to reflect on the tender care we must offer to those who have gone before us and to those who suffer because of the consequences of war. Thanksgiving is a reminder, despite the challenges we now face, there is a fruitful bounty in our lives that we must all reflect upon while we enjoy each other’s company and offer thanks for this still plentiful nation that remains the freest, most abundant on earth […]”

Simon Parkes had a nice video of Putin walking down a flight of airplane stairs in a blizzard (30 seconds). (The meaning, of course, is that Biden is always falling down…)

Okay, so Black Friday sales are bombarding us all over the place, aren’t they???
I saved a fortune on supplements yesterday at various online outlets, so that was nice.
I also purchased a couple things from the Manhattan Repertory Theater — a new eBook, The 10 Principles of Playwrighting by Ken Wolf ($7 Amazon Kindle) — because I am still tweaking my play, Tell My Bones: The Helen LaFrance Story.
I have 5 months to use the consultation, so that gives me a nice deadline to tweak the play.
I did NOT get the Tom Petty Christmas coffee mug because shipping charges were off-the-charts insane.
I didn’t get the Keith Richards tee shirt, either. I’m holding out for a better photo on the shirt. I tell you, gang, I had the BEST Keith Richards tee shirt in the 1980s, and none of the newer ones hold a candle to that one. So I’m waiting…
(It was not this photo, but it was from this photo shoot, and the shirt was in black, white and yellow. And I had cut the sleeves off, because back then, for some reason, we cut the sleeves off of our tee shirts — you can see that with Keith’s shirt in the photo below. And the tee shirt I had looked incredible with black Levis.)
(I remember one spring day in 1985, wearing the tee shirt and a pair of black Levis and black cowboy boots; walking along St. Mark’s Place with the punk-rock bassist now known as Blare N. Bitch, who was the love of my life at that point. She and I were both smoking our cigarettes, both had our de rigueur crazy 1980s hair. I was good-naturedly asking her not to leave me, not to go back to her sig o, and to just let me be the most important thing in her world for at least an afternoon, and she was chuckling and some guy came up to me on the street and said, “I love your tee shirt”…. That’s the kind of Keith Richards tee shirt I want to own again.)
(BELOW: The bassist now known as Blare N. Bitch in my room at about 3AM in 1985. Note these things: Many photos of Keith taped to my wall, along with other people. The ashtray on the bed — you always want to do that, gang, because beds are super flammable. The Lou Reed cassette tape for New Sensations. I LOVED that album!!)

Okay!
Nick Cave sent out another very interesting Red Hand File this morning!! Wherein, he encourages us to embrace yet another much-needed “cultural irritant.”
Personally, I have more cultural irritants than I can handle. So I’m gonna pass on this one. But I loved what he had to say about his own Christianity.
“The defining characteristic of my belief, and which I consider to be a fundamental imperative in my life, is uncertainty. This questioning impulse is the essence of freedom and the creative catalyst that keeps the wheels rotating irrevocably toward God….”
From yesterday, in Canada. Listen carefully, gang.

Yes, btw, I’m STILL SICK! I don’t feel bad, really, it’s just the cough that won’t totally go away. I don’t think I’m contagious anymore, so I can probably still go see my dad, but still… it would be nice to feel 100%.
Okay!

Also — The Stones announced that they are going to tour the US in 2024. Oddly enough, they will be in Cleveland on June 15th.
I first saw them in Cleveland on June 14th, 1975. Can you please do the math??!! (When I do it, it comes out to 49 (!!!) years. Clearly, that can’t be right!!)

Late night, falling asleep by tea-candle-light, listening- music! Enjoy!
Okay. I have 4 uninterrupted days to myself here and I absolutely MUST get well or I can’t go down to be with my dad on Thanksgiving.
I am so sick now, gang, it’s ridiculous. It’s just a cold, but now it has turned into a really bad one — because for the past 3 days, I refused to stay home from the train station because of the Beaujolais Nouveau celebration stuff. Plus, the evenings got really cold here and I kept insisting on wearing this little hoodie that’s made for, like, late summer weather. (i.e., I was fucking freezing anytime I went outside.)
Anyway. The celebration is over. It was a success. And I managed to get really, really sick.
The only thing I found interesting this morning, was from Nino– (yes, btw — I believe the Earth is flat)–

The stuff about the “real” J6 tapes finally coming out — I think that’s great, folks. J6 lost me a lot of colleagues and friends because they refused to believe me when I tried to tell them that the mainstream news was lying to them…
So I’m glad to finally see the true tapes materializing, but it still feels like too little, too late and no one is going to pay attention.
But that could just be me feeling “under the weather.”

Oh, also regarding flat Earth stuff — if that whole idea is new to you, there is some amazing stuff heading your way in the near future. Among that stuff, are old maps of what earth actually looked like in the days before people believed in outer space.

Real Raw News has had several articles recently that were interesting, but that were a little confusing to me, so I haven’t been posting them. But I will at least point out this one, because I really, really don’t get it. Is it optics? Is it real? Someone questioned Phil about this recently, but his answer didn’t sound very decisive.

Another great one from Tom Waits’ newly remastered album, Rain Dogs (1983). But I give you fair warning — this crazy little tune can get stuck in your head!! Enjoy, gang. (This version is the original from 1983, not remastered.)

Another great photo of Keith!! (You know, I’m putting together notes, notes, and more notes, for a memoir I am going to write about the various different father figures in my life, and Keith Richards is the only one of all of them who isn’t dead yet. (This doesn’t count my adoptive dad, who is terminally ill but still alive). Anyway. if you know anything about the life of Keith Richards, it is kind of amazing that he, of all people on Earth who had such a profound affect on my entire life, is still alive.)

So, I am still a little bit sick with that cold but I have to head back to the train station today, because we are having our Beaujolais Nouveau 2023 celebration. starting tonight.
This was, of course, my idea, since no one on Earth expects a tiny 200-year-old train station in the middle of Nowhere Ohio to be celebrating the annual release of the Beaujolais Nouveau.
I had to basically beg for it, starting way back in September, and I finally got everyone onboard, and 2 cases of Georges Duboeuf were ordered and delivered, and the social media promotions went out — and so now I have to be in top energetic form to MOVE THOSE BOTTLES of wine before Thanksgiving, or at the very latest, by Christmas….
But my nighttime co-workers, who are a whole different breed from the daytime staff, except for one of the day shift girls who is like a daughter to me. But anyway. They are so enthusiastic. Everyone’s dressing in retro-French garb tonight and we’ll be blasting (and I mean blasting) 60s French pop music on the sound system — France Gall, Francoise Hardy, some famous Serge Gainsbourg duets, Dalida, Juliette Grecco, and various Ye Ye girls, etc.
My dear friend Kara is even going to stop in, either tonight or tomorrow. So it really should be fun. However… I am so fucking tired….
But on we go.

I leave you with another great one from Tom Waits’ Rain Dogs, 1983 — which was just remastered and it is great!! This one below, “Gun Street Girl,” is not remastered here. And I have the lyrics below, too, because I think that some of the songs I posted yesterday are hard to understand. Okay. Enjoy.
“Gun Street Girl”
Falling James in the Tahoe mud Stick around to tell us all the tale He fell in love with a Gun Street girl and Now he’s dancing in the Birmingham jail Dancing in the Birmingham jail
Took a 100 dollars off a Slaughterhouse Joe Bought a bran’ new Michigan 20 gauge Got all liquored up on that roadhouse corn Blew a hole in the hood of a yellow corvette Blew a hole in the hood of a yellow corvette Bought a second hand Nova from a Cuban Chinese Dyed his hair in the bathroom of a Texaco With a pawnshop radio, quarter past 4 Well he left Waukegan at the slammin’ of the door He left Waukegan at the slammin’ of the door
I said, John, John he’s long gone Gone to Indiana Ain’t never coming home I said John, John he’s long gone Gone to Indiana Ain’t never coming home
Sitting in a sycamore in St. John’s Wood Soakin’ day old bread in kerosene He was blue as a robin’s egg brown as a hog Stayin’ out of circulation till the dogs get tired Stayin’ out of circulation till the dogs get tired
Shadow fixed the toilet with an old trombone He never got up in the morning on a Saturday Sittin’ by the Erie with a bull whipped dog Tellin’ everyone he saw They went thatta way Tellin’ everyone he saw They went thatta way
Now the rain’s like gravel on an old tin roof And the Burlington Northern’s pullin’ out of the world With a head full of bourbon and a dream in the straw And a Gun Street Girl was the cause of it all A Gun Street girl was the cause of it all
Riding in the shadow by the St. Joe Ridge He heard the click clack tappin’ of a blind man’s cane Pullin’ into Baker on a New Year’s Eve With one eye on the pistol and the other on the door With one eye on the pistol and the other on the door
Miss Charlotte took her satchel down to King Fish Row And she smuggled in a bran’ new pair of alligator shoes With her fireman’s raincoat and her long yellow hair, well They tied her to a tree with a skinny millionaire They tied her to a tree with a skinny millionaire
I said, John, John he’s long gone Gone to Indiana Ain’t never coming home I said John, John he’s long gone Gone to Indiana Ain’t never coming home Bangin’ on a table with an old tin cup Sing I’ll never kiss a Gun Street Girl again I’ll never kiss a Gun Street Girl again
I said, John, John he’s long gone Gone to Indiana Ain’t never coming home I said John, John he’s long gone Gone to Indiana Ain’t never coming home
Phil just posted a comm — a photo of himself in an old London-style phone booth in Arizona, the old London Bridge in the background, with a Christmas wreath on it. He’s wearing a t-shirt that appears to be a “Phoenix” rising…
Lots of people decoding it on his private chat. To me, it seems like it’s more comms about the Royals (?), or London’s Government falling? And maybe something huge happening over revealing election fraud in Arizona?
Also, Phil seems very calm.
I’m not good at decoding, gang, so I rely on lots of other people’s opinions. We shall see how this goes!

Apparently, there were 290,000 protestors at the pro-Israel rally in DC yesterday. It was peaceful, and well organized. (4 mins.):
“My great sister, Maryanne, passed away yesterday at the age of 86. A truly beautiful woman, tall and elegant, with a presence like no other, she was also a tremendous student, intellect, and Judge, in charge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, just below the U.S. Supreme Court. Her life was largely problem free, PERFECT, until I made it difficult for her when I decided to run for President. The Fake News, and others, went after her mercilessly, and because of the fact that she felt it inappropriate, due to her position, to defend herself, it just never stopped! While tough and strong, she was made to suffer in those years from 2016 until her Retirement. I will never forget the many times people would come up to me and say, “Your sister was the smartest person on the Court.” I was always honored by that, but understood exactly what they meant—They were right! She was a great Judge, and a great sister. She will be truly missed!”
***********
In my own life — I want to promote this to you. I always keep it on hand and it is incredible:
Yesterday, I came down with a cold and got one of those wretched sore throats. Quick-Blast is amazing at getting rid of that sore throat almost instantly.
I also take a bunch of other stuff — tons of elderberry, echinacea, reishi, oil of oregano, colloidal silver nasal spray. Etc. And then old-fashioned chest rub to stop from coughing so that I can sleep….
(And, yes, I did have yet another one of those confounding, endless, frustrating dreams last night, but at least this one didn’t break my heart.)
And then, lo & behold, the cold is just about gone this morning. I’m planning to stay in bed all day, too, just to be safe. Next week is Thanksgiving, and if I’m sick with anything at all, I can’t be around my dad.
***********
Valerie has a lot of stuff going on in her life this week — none of it good. So we can’t work on my Zazzle store. It’s frustrating, because it is almost ready. And I know how much you wanted that 1954 Powder Blue Pickup coffee mug by Christmas…
By the way — thank you to everyone who is reading me on substack. You guys are just amazing.

There is not much out there that is really interesting, gang. As you can probably figure out all on your own. It is so much noise and almost all of it optics.
I thought this was interesting, though — to me, it sort of proves that Bongino is in on the whole Q thing, but that he has his own mission: to wake up Conservative normies who refuse to believe in Q.
Posted on il DonaldoTrumpo last night — Dan Scavino (Q-team) and Dan Bongino (close friend of Donald Trump) at what looks like the UFC 295 fight in NYC:
There is a pro-Israel rally in DC today. About 60,000 protesters are expected and the Mayor has called in the National Guard, just in case there’s the same kind of chaos the pro-Palestinians caused.

And Patriot Princess had some interesting Q-Gematria decodes. Having to do with the fake Biden’s 81st birthday coming up next week, and a full moon and maybe the fake 81-year-old Biden having a heart attack while driving his Corvette on the full moon??
Wouldn’t that be nice? But I guess we’ll just see.

Yes! I overslept this morning. More intensely maddening, disheartening dreams. But I don’t have to do anything today but write, so it doesn’t matter that I overslept…
Meanwhile–
Breakfast-listening music from today!!! TWO, yes two — choices!! Both of them are terrific!! Enjoy.
There is no news yet today, gang, although the stock market closed yesterday way way way in the red… I think from now on it will be moment by moment.
And Xi is apparently going to be “meeting with (fake) Biden in San Francisco” beginning Nov. 15th…that should be more than interesting and/or more optics and a complete waste of time. We shall see.
In my own life….
I got some really disheartening news about my dad yesterday. Not that it’s unexpected because he is really far along with cancer, but you just wish that somehow, you didn’t have to see the end of the movie, right?
I don’t blog about this stuff, but I will say that my dad and I had a very tumultuous relationship for about 50 years, but then suddenly, a few months ago, everything changed and it was like those 50 years completely evaporated and he “suddenly became” the dad he was when I was a little girl. And he was a great dad when I was a little girl, growing up in Cleveland. I am going to miss him so much.
Anyway, it is heartbreaking. But hopefully he will still be able to be present at Thanksgiving. My stepsisters and their families will be there, too, including my nephew whom I haven’t seen since before the scamdemic. — and even then, it was at my stepmom’s funeral. He has now already graduated college. How that happened, I have no clue, since he is only about 10 years old… (where did the time go, gang?)
Well, I am hoping that Thanksgiving will happen and that it will be a happy time, all things considered.
But in brighter news — and this is what I mean by my title for the blog today–
Peitor just now texted me some photos of what will soon be the NEW HOME of our micro-film production company, Abstract Absurdity Productions!!! On the Mediterranean in Nice, France. Just awesome, gang.
It is something to live for, right? The thought that after all this horrible war stuff is finally over, he and I will get back to work on “Lita måste gå! (Lita’s Got to Go!)” and the dozen other micro films we had in the works before the scamdemic.
And that is sort of it, at least for now.
Enjoy your Friday, wherever you are in the world.
Thanks for visiting. I love you guys. See ya!

France Gall, 1964, “Laisse tomber les filles”. Enjoy.
But according to his private chat, there was a lot of gematria done over his posts yesterday (if you follow that weird AI-looking Patriot Princess, she did all the gematria in a tiktok video that is super hard to look at because her face is so weird.)
Anyway.
She talks a lot about the Royal family being taken down (checkmate), about Diana being still alive (which makes her Queen Diana now) and working with Trump. And Netanyahu being dead, or dying soon. Stuff that has been all over the backchannels for years. But now seems imminent.
So, as we’ve been hearing for the last week or so — a lot of shit is finally happening, gang. So stay safe, sit tight, be prepared — and, for most of us, this can’t happen soon enough. (EBS, blackouts, martial law in certain areas of the country.)

Okay.
I’m going to get back to work on Novitiate. If anything else pops up today, I’ll be back…

More from the “soundtrack” of Novitiate last night… “19th Nervous Breakdown,” The Rolling Stones, 1966. Enjoy!
