Tuesday!

Sorry for the delay, but I thought it would be best to wait out all the various social media outages this morning!

Here’s hoping that we’re one step closer to ending this thing.

***********

If you haven’t heard (or you live in a cave) SCOTUS decided yesterday that Trump cannot be withheld from any State’s ballots.

Wish SCOTUS would have ruled on something else really significant but maybe that is just a dream now. (Meaning — 2020 was rigged.)

***********

This was interesting. Phil had it posted to his channel but you can’t copy anything from there anymore. So here is the original:

“The Seized Assets Page on Treasury dot Gov is now 2453 PAGES!!!!

Make sure to save and share this link… These are the SEIZED ASSETS since President Trump signed the Executive Order in December 2017 that if anyone was involved in Human Trafficking or Corruption, their ASSETS WOULD BE SEIZED.”

[You can download the pdf HERE.] (I did, and the list is LONG!!!)

Okay. I think this is important to watch. Her point is that just because we’re told that people in Hollywood are part of the cult, it doesn’t always mean they are.

Big news for fans of Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds —

A new album, Wild God, is due to drop in about 22 hours!!

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

And on a personal note — yes, for the first time in about 9 years, I have once again joined Netflix.

I did it, of course, under pressure because too many of the shows I need to watch for Ab Ab Pro research, are only on Netflix. (“Call My Agent” (French) and “Crashing” (UK), to name two.)

So, little by little, I am back in the world.

On a sadder note.

My dad’s health is really, really declining. It has really just got me in a terrible state today. The hospice coordinator called me on the phone yesterday and explained to me why my dad had been unable to take my call for the past few days, and all the sudden changes going on in my dad’s health (he has advanced cancer), and his cognizance deterioration. So we decided it was better to wait until next week before I try to go back down there again.

When I was down there a couple weeks ago, I knew that the “dad” I had always known was gone now and that it was just a matter of time. But knowing it was coming doesn’t make it any easier.

Anyway.

I’ve got a lot of writing to do here, so I am trying to keep myself from just sitting and staring.

I hope you’re having a terrific Tuesday, wherever you are in the world.

Thanks for visiting.

I love you guys. See ya!

A friend in Turkey, Gurablista, has a new record out. It’s titled “Youtan Poluo”. And here is one of the wonderful songs from the album. (I don’t understand the lyrics yet but I still love the song anyway.)

“Pratikte Çeyreği Saniyenin” (3 mins):

Here’s to a Happy Monday!

Okay. Let’s see how this goes.

Part of my post from yesterday that deleted itself, explained why I hadn’t been on the blog for a couple of days — and that is because I am extraordinarily busy with Abstract Absurdity Productions right now, and between that and going into the train station, I was just overwhelmed.

It’s all very exciting stuff, though. (Well, not the train station part.)

Tomorrow I am planning on driving down to see my dad again, but that is a little bit up in the air. But I might not be here on the blog tomorrow.

And then — guess what?! Bright and early Wednesday morning, the County is coming here to take a look at my roof situation. This is in response to a grant I applied for 14 MONTHS ago (!!), for low income home owners who needed major home repairs. My bankruptcy still could disqualify me, but they are coming to look at it anyway!!!!

So any prayers you can send my way right now, gang, will be greatly appreciated. As you know, I desperately need a new roof.

Okay.

I have an Abstract Absurdity Productions conference call here in an hour and I have stuff to read over before that, so here is what little news that I could find that might be of interest to you.

First, Charlie’s daily news update.

Looks Like it’s Right Around the Corner, Gang!

It’s feeling like things are really flowing. Can you feel it? The energy. The odd items that are hitting mainstream media all over the world. I don’t know what else to call it except “energy”. And it seems to be time for the flood gates to finally open.

Did you notice that Phil had so much excitement last night that he almost couldn’t stay seated in his chair?

As is sort of happening a lot right now, he seems to be aiming his lives to people who are just starting to wake up, but it’s still kind of awesome to re-visit all this stuff we’ve been through. And to think that it might actually be coming to an end…

Here’s the replay (1 hr 43 mins):

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

And just to be on the safe side, keep yourselves prepared around that eclipse coming on April 8th. Even a local fire department here in Ohio sent out a notice to their town for everyone to “be prepared” around the Total Eclipse. To have plenty of food and water, cash on hand, gas in the car, a generator in case all the power went out…

Hmmm. I’ve never heard a warning like that before regarding an eclipse… but I sure have heard that a lot of other times during the last 3 and 1/2 years…

Charlie also mentions to be prepared for 3 days of darkness, especially around the Total Eclipse.

I meant to post this the other day, but forgot. I found it interesting.

From Michael Jackson’s channel, on Sunday:

“Alexie Navalny, the alleged CIA/MI6 asset purportedly groomed for the Russian presidency, stands as a testament to failed machinations. However, the reality is far more intricate.

In the early 2000s, Navalny found himself in contact with informants from the CIA and MI6 within Russia, amid operations aiming to foment a ‘color revolution’ against Putin, utilizing college students as pawns. This effort unfolded within a backdrop where certain figures within the US intelligence apparatus, including Admiral Rodgers and other high-ranking officials, were cognizant of the internal dynamics of the 9/11 attacks, viewing them as orchestrated events to instigate the Patriot Act and clandestine surveillance programs. Concurrently, there was recognition of an alliance brewing between ‘white hats’ within Russia, China, and the EU, which posed a threat to established deep state interests.

The CIA, in its bid to undermine Putin’s authority, sought to elevate Navalny, identifying him as a suitable candidate for future leadership. Navalny underwent vetting processes, eventually finding himself groomed in clandestine training programs at Yale University. Subsequently, efforts were made to position him as a prominent figure against Putin’s regime, leveraging President Dmitry Medvedev’s cooperation to amplify Navalny’s presence within Russian media circles. Despite these orchestrated attempts, the coup endeavor faltered, with Putin reasserting control in 2012.

Navalny’s subsequent legal entanglements, including accusations of embezzlement and collaboration with CIA-affiliated figures, provided Putin with an opportunity to curtail potential dissent within his ranks, delaying any further destabilizing actions. Following a period of imprisonment, Navalny’s relocation to Germany was accompanied by dubious claims of poisoning, perpetuated by CIA-linked media outlets. This narrative, however, obscured the underlying truth.

In a coordinated effort, the CIA swiftly produced documentaries lionizing Navalny, a feat that suggests deeper involvement than mere documentary filmmaking. These productions, disseminated through CIA-operated channels, aimed to bolster Navalny’s image and set the stage for his return to Russia, where subsequent arrests were anticipated.

Thus, beneath the surface of Navalny’s narrative lies a complex web of geopolitical intrigue, with intelligence agencies vying for influence and power in the heart of Russia’s political landscape.”

In honor of Brian Jones’ heavenly birthday (he would have been 82 today, which I just can’t even fathom), I leave you with the Rolling Stones classic, “Ruby Tuesday” from 1966! I love this song. Enjoy, gang.

Another Terrific Tuesday Underway

Yes, I survived my 3 conference calls yesterday — and even managed to remain on Zoom while taking a quick walk to the police station to let them know a young neighbor of mine (whom I’d never seen before) was walking up and down the road in her PJs and slippers, acting really strangely. And she even tried to come into my house, twice, to use the phone, as if she thought it was her home.

Anyway. I was worried about her.

Also, just FYI — I never have my camera or mic on when I’m on Zoom. Unless someone insists on it. So, if you ever want to have a Zoom call with me, and want to make sure I’m not actually outside, hanging out with the cops, then ask me to turn my camera on….

Okay.

Allegedly, the Rothschild marker means that a whole bunch of stuff is going to start happening.

This is in addition to that whole bunch of stuff that’s been happening for 4 or 5 years already.

But all of it is connected, and my guess is that none of it will wake anyone up.

Yes, I’m being sarcastic. Because I don’t even know what to tell you anymore.

If you’ve been following this blog for the last 4 years, then you’re in the same boat as I am. In short — we’re just waiting.

That said, if you missed Phil’s live last night, here is the replay (1 hr 43 mins):

I leave you with this! Tom Jones on the Dusty Springfield Show in 1967. Such a great song! (And, okay, I’ll go ahead and dedicate it to the one I love. He knows who he is!!) Enjoy.

A Happy Sunday to One and All

I could spend the whole day doing this — just sitting and drinking coffee, that is. However.

Wow, do I have a ton of stuff to tackle today.

I have no less than 3 conference calls tomorrow. As of right now, I’m not ready for any of them. But the day is young… and the first most impressive thing that I did today was that I finally got out of bed.

Okay.

I can’t find any news that I want to re-post. The stuff I did see this morning was either unbelievably depressing and/or not actually new “news”. (Or just the general optics and noise, which I am so tired of that you cannot even possibly imagine.)

However, today is George Harrison’s Heavenly Birthday! He would have been 81 today. (In heaven, though, I suspect he is forever young.)

My favorite version of this Bob Dylan classic — “Forever Young,” by Joan Baez, live, in 1975.

Ross K. Nichols’ sub yesterday continued the deep dive into Exodus — this was great! (Ark of the Covenant)

Religion’s MOST Sacred Object – Dr. James D. Tabor (1 hr):

And this pertains to the above video — if you have a Bible that contains 2 Maccabees (for instance, the Douay-Rheims Version), go to Chapter 2 versus 4-7:

 “ 4 It was also contained in the same writing, how the prophet, being warned by God, commanded that the tabernacle and the ark should accompany him, till he came forth to the mountain where Moses went up, and saw the inheritance of God. 

 5 And when Jeremias came thither he found a hollow cave: and he carried in thither the tabernacle, and the ark, and the altar of incense, and so stopped the door.

 6 Then some of them that followed him, came up to mark the place: but they could not find it.

  7 And when Jeremias perceived it, he blamed them, saying: The place shall be unknown, till God gather together the congregation of the people, and receive them to mercy.”

**********

In other words, despite all of Hollywood’s various intrigues, the original Ark is perhaps still hidden in the cave.

**********

Okay.

That’s really it for now. I really, really, really have to get started here today!!

Enjoy your Sunday, wherever you are in the world.

Thanks for visiting. I love you guys. See ya!

In an odd but personal twist, here is this morning’s listening-music! “The Glamorous Life” . Prince’s song, sung by Prince. (I hate to be too cryptic, but I think there are maybe 2 people left on Earth right now who can even fathom why this song still gets to me.) Anyway. Enjoy, gang!

“The Glamorous Life”

Don’t you get me

She wears a long fur coat of mink
Even in the summer time
Everybody knows from the coy little wink
The girl’s got a lot on her mind
She’s got
Big thoughts
Big dreams
And a big brown Mercedes sedan
What I think this girl
She really wants is to be in love with a man

She wants to lead the glamorous life
She don’t need a man’s touch
She wants to lead the glamorous life
Without love it ain’t much

She saw him standing in the section marked
“If you have to ask, you can’t afford it” lingerie (Lingerie)
She threw him bread and said “Make me scream”
In the dark, what could he say? (What could he say?)
Boys with small talk and small minds
Really don’t impress me in bed
She said “I need a man’s man baby”
Diamonds and furs
Love would only conquer my head

She wants to lead the glamorous life
She don’t need a man’s touch
She wants to lead the glamorous life
Without love it ain’t much

They made haste in the brown sedan
They drove to 55 Secret Street
They made love and by the seventh wave
She knew she had a problem
She thought real love is real scary
Money only pays the rent
Love is forever, that’s all your life
Love is heaven sent
It’s glamorous

Lead the glamorous life
She don’t need a man’s touch
She wants to lead the glamorous life
Without love it ain’t much, it ain’t much
She wants to lead the glamorous life
She don’t need a man’s touch
She wants to lead the glamorous life
Without love it ain’t much, it ain’t much
Lead the glamorous life
She don’t need a man’s touch
She wants to lead the glamorous life
Without love it ain’t much, it ain’t, ain’t, ain’t much

c – 1983 Prince Rogers Nelson

What’s all this WHITE Stuff?

Yes! More snow here and way more than they were anticipating… But life goes on. I’m still heading out to the train station this evening.

Okay.

Phil’s live was interesting. He talked about 3 men that we’ve been told for several years have been either/or under arrest (Bezos, Zuckerberg) and already executed (Gates).

So, in my opinion only, his live was half-optics for those who are still just waking up. But, bottom line, he was saying that the ATT, etc., outages the other day were in fact Trump’s E.O. being carried out (taking over the wealth and the estates of the Cabal for High Treason and Crimes Against Humanity).

Here’s the replay. (1 hr 20 mins):

Phil said that he would also talk about why some of the electricity also went out in some areas… but he never got around to that topic. (Unless I missed it?) He only talked about cell phones going down. (And then did a short Q&A.)

And I’m really curious to know more about that electricity thing, because my cell phone never went down on Thursday, but the power line directly in front of MY HOUSE — and nowhere else in the village — went out, and it took no less than 5 trucks from the power company, THREEE hours to fix it.

I basically sat in front of my upstairs window for three hours and watched the linemen at work on my power line. Because there was nothing else to do while I waited to leave for work.

A coincidence that my power went out and the rest of the entire village was fine (except for the guy directly across the street from me, who shares the line)?

I honestly don’t know. I would like to know, though.

Is it a coincidence that my house was the only house in the entire village that has kept a Trump flag flying since the rigged election in 2020? (And it’s still flying. And, happily, two more houses in the village are flying Trump flags again.)

Anyway.

Was it a coincidence that my beloved 60-year-old maple tree, which was something like 100 stories tall, was the only tree in the entire village uprooted by a sudden and horrific pop-up mini tornado 2 summers ago?

(And I happened to watch it happen in real time, in the middle of the night, and it was unbelievably traumatizing to me because I saw my beloved and gigantic tree get uprooted and thrown into my neighbor’s house, crushing the whole front end of it, demolishing his roof, his attic, the front half of his master bedroom. And I was simultaneously dialing 911 while running out in the pouring rain in only my nightgown to go over and see if he and his family were all right. Thank God they were.)

And then, over the next month, three more trees got ripped up and tossed down in the same manner — all three of those trees were directly around my house. And nowhere else in the entire village did anyone else lose any trees. (About 9 other people in the village had their trees cut down, once they saw what had happened to my tree, though, but that doesn’t really count.)

Anyway. The trauma was off the charts for me that summer. But my Trump flag remained (and, yes, my daily posts to the blog did, too — which I’m guessing was the real culprit and not just my Trump flag.)

So I don’t know, gang. I do know that those days of living in constant fear are over. (Several other things happened back then that were curious, indeed.) I’m not really afraid of anything sinister regarding my power line, I’m just curious if it could have been connected to something else that was going on this past Thursday.

But perhaps the answer just has to get tossed onto the pile of all the other questions we still have about stuff that has or hasn’t happened over the past 3 and a half years.

And, also in regards to Phil’s live — it was interesting what he had to say about Taylor Swift, our most current & immediate psyop…

********

Okay. So this, in my opinion, could also be optics since we were told this happened a long time ago, and not connected to Maui…

From Real Raw News yesterday:

JAG Executes Oprah Winfrey

[…] Although her execution had been scheduled for February 14, JAG postponed the hanging until the 19th, for reasons JAG hadn’t expatiated on at the time of this writing. […]”

So. not only is there not a lot of news out there, but the stuff that is out there is getting more and more depressing.

Anyway. Here is Charlie’s daily news update.

CHARLIE WARD DAILY NEWS WITH PAUL BROOKER & DREW DEMI -THURSDAY 22ND FEBRUARY 2024 (6 mins):

On the home front —

I’m busy getting that 1-page synopsis together for the screen adaptation of “The Guide to Being Fabulous”. I hope to have it done by Monday. (I head back to the train station tonight.) Then a 5 or 6 page screenplay treatment, after I finish that.

And, as I hinted at yesterday, Abstract Absurdity Productions is back on track with weekly conference calls. It’s yielding more work for us than you can possibly imagine — creating a podcast, blog, mini series, in addition to actually making our micro-short films. But all of it is stuff I love that really makes me laugh. And heaven knows I need that these days.

I will keep you posted on the details as I can. What I can tell you, though, is that now that our home office is based in the South of France, I have a ton of work to do on my French. Meaning, getting better at speaking it and, most importantly, understanding French people when they are speaking! It’s like a whole other foreign language!!

I still have the mondly app on my phone, but I also signed up for Lingopie for a year (a cool site where you learn a foreign language by watching that specific country’s TV shows and movies). And I also discovered these free French lessons on YouTube that I’m really enjoying–

So, yes, I’ve got my hands full, but I’m not complaining. And I even had a chance to chat with my best friend, Val in Brooklyn, last night. Well, she wasn’t in Brooklyn — she was up at her other house in Haverstraw, for a family funeral. But we had a great chat last night and laughed a lot, which we hadn’t been able to do for a couple of weeks.

Oh, and what else is special about Haverstraw, NY?

Jim Carroll was buried at St. Peter’s Cemetery in Haverstraw, NY, where his parents are also buried.”

Yes, Val grew up next door to the Carrolls — another family of Irish Catholics who left the city for someplace quieter.

The late New York City poet, Jim Carroll

Anyway.

Have a good Thursday, wherever you are in the world.

Thanks for visiting.

I love you guys. See ya!
