Great Update!

Our play, “The Guide to Being Fabulous” was selected by the Toronto Star as one of the Top 10 theatrical shows for 2023!

“The ten best theatre shows in 2023

With inspiring performances that elicited emotions from joy to anger to disgust and everything in between, Toronto’s theatre scene has delivered a packed and powerful year of theatrical shows […]

[…] Sandra Caldwell’s “The Guide to Being Fabulous” is, simply put, a story well-told of a life well-lived. There was never a dull moment in this rollicking 90-minute cabaret revue. Candid, entertaining and often hilarious, the musical memoir covers much ground — from Caldwell’s experience performing at the Moulin Rouge, her run-ins with the law, going through with gender transition in her early 20s and later coming up to terms with her identity as an openly trans woman. The consummate Broadway performer was always a commanding presence as she strutted down the catwalk with sass and elegance in Weyni Mengesha’s vibrant yet simple production. – J.C.”

A Difficult Day But it Got Better!

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!!

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

**********

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!

Road Trip!!

Okay, gang. I’m off to see my dad today.

I’m a little bit anxious about seeing him because he’s been through so much since the last time I saw him and I’m afraid he will look more deteriorated than he looked a few weeks ago.

But onward.

Okay.

This was a really fun video. It goes deep into the healing properties of light, color, the sun, and eye sight, and overall health.

From Matt Roeske —

That’s it for today. I gotta scoot.

Have a terrific Tuesday, wherever you are in the world!

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

Happy New Year’s Day!!

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…)

c – 2010, 2013, Mauro Teardo / Blixa Bargeld

Happy 2024!!

I hope that everyone has an enjoyable New year’s Eve, however you spend it (or spent it — depending on where in the world you live!!).

Our plans here changed a bit. My houseguests are still here but our 3rd visitor, Michael, who spent Christmas with us, has to work tonight. So we will be having a very quiet New Year’ s Eve around here, which is the way I prefer it, really.

And the weather tonight will be a mix of rain and snow, which is horrible weather to be driving around in on New Year’s Eve.

I still have to run in to town today and get the groceries. but other than that, I’m planning on a really quiet and beautiful day/night.

I thought this series of posts (below) was very interesting — it delves deeper into the myth that “germs” are “contagious”. Another one of those Rockefeller myths that has fucked with our heads for decades.

(Loyal readers of this lofty blog perhaps recall that I knew — or I should say, I worked for and interacted with — several of the Rockefellers back in the 1980s, in NYC, because I worked at the Museum of Modern Art for 9 years. And they were always incredibly nice to me. Just unbelievably nice. (Just one example HERE of how nice some of them were). It is just dumbfounding to keep learning now about just how destructive that family was to every aspect of our lives in the 20th Century. Just amazingly evil and avaricious.)

(Oh, and for any of you who have read my novella, “Necessary to her Good,” the pied a terre in that story is based on the Rockefellers’ guest house on E. 52nd Street. It was jaw-dropping, even though it was somewhat small and only one story high. Designed by the famous architect, Philip Johnson. A true testament to Modernism. I will never forget the experience of being a bartender at a private party in that amazing place. I was 27. I was asked if I would like to be the bartender at a small gathering for Blanchette Rockefeller….I always said yes to invitations like that from MoMA, because it always led to things that blew my wee little mind.)

A big thank you to my long-time colleague in Brussels, author-journalist Roger Gaess, for sending me this link last night:

Singer Nick Cave to showcase art work in Brussels gallery

“…The works will be on display from 5 April to 11 May 2024 at Xavier Hufkens’ gallery located on Rue Saint-Georges in Ixelles.”

[full article here]

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

And speaking of the Devil, I mean, Nick Cave —

He sent out an interesting Red Hand File today, all about the words he uses most and why. And he also shared his New Year’s Resolution:

“…to practice, as best as I can, more open-mindedness and understanding of other viewpoints.”

You can read it in full HERE.

***********

I’ll tell you what, gang, after this past week of endless bashing among truthers and truther-followers — career-ending verbal warfare and vicious attacks that were really disappointing to me on all fronts — my “resolution” is to stop being “openminded and/or listening to anyone else’s viewpoint”. Well. Sort of…..

Honestly, it was almost uglier than everything we’re seeing on MSM, worldwide. And it was quite an onslaught and now it makes me not even want to open telegram. Although, I still do.

Even though I am still happily participating in Phil’s Silver with 7K, and I still have an account with Good Lion Films for now, I’m focusing, as I said the other day, on channels that focus on well-being for humans, plants, and animals… And then basically just waiting until the military and SCOTUS finally step in, publicly, and put a stop to all the ugliness all over the world, in all its many, many guises.

And on that topic of wellness — I am having a great time experimenting with changing the brightness and “true tone” levels on my iPhone and my laptop. Just that alone has made a huge difference in relieving the constant stress on my eyes. And I can’t wait for all my incandescent light bulbs to arrive later this week.

Okay.

That is it for now!!

Have a wonderful New Year’s Eve, wherever you are in the world!!

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

Driving to town music from yesterday!!!! Moody, to say the least… Rowland S. Howard’s “Dead Radio” from his album, Teenage Snuff Film, 1999.

Dead Radio

You’re bad for me like cigarettes
But I haven’t sucked enough of you yet
Nothing is sacred and nothing is true
I’m no-one that’s nowhere when I’m here with you

I’ve lost the power I had to distinguish
Between what to ignite and what to extinguish

I blew in last night, I’m the host from the coast
When the lighting is bad, I’m the man with the most
And you left me to choke on a heart up in smoke
Smiling through your tears and your tetracycline overdose

You’re good for me like Coca-Cola
I don’t get any younger, you don’t get any older
Everything’s sacred and everything’s true
And all this is possible when I’m here with you

I’ve got a lot to say, but I keep my own counsel
I’d like to spit it out, but I won’t speak with my mouth full

I blew in last night, I’m the host from the coast
When the lighting is bad, I’m the man with the most
And you left me to choke on a heart up in smoke
Smiling through your tears and your tetracycline overdose

c- 1999 Rowland S. Howard

And I can’t remember if I posted this. A recent photo of Nick Cave, taken by Warren Ellis. I just love this photo:

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.

Enjoy the day, wherever you are in the world.

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

Back to the Train Station!

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.

I love Christmas music, but now we are back to normal land!!

Best song ever for feeling good over just about everything! Enjoy.


Yay!!! Another Great Mindf*ck!!!

All right, gang. The holiday is officially over. I have one less houseguest for now. I can get back to focusing on laundry, housecleaning, cooking some HEALTHY food, and posting to the blog!!

Before I forget — because I keep forgetting to post it here–

Here is my latest channel that I am completely fascinated by — Matt Roeske.

I re-posted a video back in the early summer that was posted on Simon Parkes’ Connecting Consciousness platform, wherein Matt Roeske explained about copper-based electroculture and how great it was for your gardening and your farming, but now I am addicted to Matt’s channel, CultivateElevate. (That link is for rumble, but he is also on telegram and YouTube.)

For a great overview of the topics he delves into, here is a recent podcast he did with Emily Trinkhaus. It’s 1-hr and it is awesome. Honestly. You will begin to feel so much better about where we are heading now!!

Here is today’s video. If you don’t have time to watch the whole thing, at least watch the final 10 minutes, where he clarifies his point about all these resets they have put us through. (“They” being those Rockefellers, Carnegies, Rothschilds, etc., etc.)

Chicago, San Francisco, and the Giants (56 mins):

BEWARE — once you start digging into his videos, you will not want to stop. (And also, after you watch this one above, ask yourself why the San Francisco baseball team is called the Giants??? Hmmm….)

Anyway.

In general, Matt talks about things that I’ve been learning about in bits and pieces over the years, but he goes way, way deeper into them, in ways that really just open my mind.

The amount of information he shares about cultural resets that have already happened and everything Rockefeller made us un-learn throughout the 20th Century while forcing us to attend public school and force-feeding us a bunch of fake garbage, and how they have been trying to do it again through the mind control of television… (Hence — The Great Awakening; the military taking control after Obama’s horrific Regime, and saying “wake the fuck up already before it is too late”. )

Loyal readers of this lofty blog know that one of my favorite topics has to do with the giants who used to live all around the Hinterlands where I now live. Their ancient burial mounds are everywhere, and giant skeletons were found inside them, along with sacred altars and a sacred tablet carved in ancient Hebrew.

The Smithsonian conveniently lost all the skeletons. And now they have this myth around here that the burial mounds were from normal-sized “Native Americans”. (These giants used to live all over the place, btw. All over the world. It’s just that I’m sort of obsessed with the ones who lived right around here.)

A lot of times, when I’m driving around in the Hinterlands, I wonder how come all the giants have simply vanished. Where did they all go? For a brief time in the late 1800s, early 1900s, you could apparently see a couple of them in the “Freak Shows” of traveling circuses.

But there were way, way, way more giants than those few “freaks” — so what happened to all of them?

Matt’s work delves into “resets” that wiped out entire populations. (Think: “Chicago Fire” and “San Francisco Earthquake” and various “Great Floods”.) And it goes way deeper than just the giants who were wiped out, but the giants are one of my favorite topics.

It’s interesting to note that Nick, over at Good Lion Films, is currently delving into a similar topic — Tartaria and the worldwide culture it had; a culture that was not only wiped out but wiped from the world history books.

Nick and Matt are not the only people who study these topics (and the scope of topics Matt talks about will really just dumbfound you). But I bring up Good Lion Films because of that horrible — and horribly distracting — feud going on between Nick and Phil right now. And while we wait for all that stuff to happen, publicly, that Phil keeps promising us will happen soon (i.e., “by Christmas”) — I’m giving more of my focus to learning about these “resets” and the immeasurable amount of damage they have done to our society and try to get back to living the way we were meant to live.

There is also this other great website — from Mitch the Orgone Donor. Incredible stuff, gang. All about Orgone Energy and getting rid of geoengineering, EMFs, weather manipulation, etc.

And “orgone” energy has always been particularly interesting to me because of the type of fiction I have written for the last 40 years. I have always felt that sexual energy comes straight from God, and that it is the primary creative energy. I have believed this since I was a young girl, long before I started writing erotic fiction.

Also —

I think it’s interesting that the SethCenter is also gearing up to make some apparently big interactive changes in 2024. They have been on hold since the scamdemic.

For me, it is no understatement to say that my life was never the same after reading the Seth materials and all of the late Jane Roberts’ books, beginning back in 1984.

The books completely changed the foundation of the way my thoughts worked, and also how my dreams interacted with my daily life. It is more complex than the Abraham Hicks material, but the Hicks material is built upon the Seth material, starting after Jane died.

Even though I love the Abraham Hicks material, it focuses strictly on the Law of Attraction and learning how to consciously use vibrational frequencies. The Seth materials go much deeper and can get very complicated. (I usually call the Abraham Hicks material, “Seth lite”.)

Anyway, I was happy to see that the SethCenter might have a bigger presence in my life going forward in 2024. Just seems so well timed for me.

I feel excited about focusing on some new, often Q-related topics, that take me away from all the noise of the psy-ops, the wars, the optics, the lies… and see firsthand how much we are all moving forward.

***********

Okay, I think that is it for right now. I have to finish the laundry and get a pot of soup started!!

Have a wonder-filled Wednesday, wherever you are in the world!!

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

Have A Blessed Christmas!

We had a splendid Christmas Eve last night!

Mainly – I survived!! Yay! Although, I did go up to my bed at 8PM, intending to watch some Christmas stuff on Amazon Prime for a few quiet moments, but what I actually did was fell dead asleep, immediately.

I picked up my final houseguest yesterday afternoon, and then helped them run some last minute errands. They wanted to “quickly run in ” to Walmart!!

ME: “Are you crazy???? It’s Christmas Eve!! It’s going to be a zoo!! Why don’t we just run into the Dollar Store near my house?”

THEM: “We can’t afford the Dollar Store! It’s too expensive!”

(Interesting statement, isn’t it? If you really look at it.)

Anyway, off to Walmart we went, on Christmas Eve afternoon…

I waited in the car in the quite full parking lot, while they shopped for last minute snacks, cat food, etc. As everyone knows, I am absolutely opposed to the sheer existence of Walmart, so that’s why I didn’t go in. And as they scrambled out of the car, I emphatically made the sign of the cross with my fingers, to keep all the Walmart human-trafficking-demon spirits away from all of us…

Anyway! They made it out unscathed. And I swear to you, the backseat was full, the hatchback was full! Enough beer, wine, snacks, and actual food that will be part of Christmas dinner was practically overflowing from the car, even though the refrigerator at home, and the kitchen table, were already overflowing with stuff for Christmas.

And then, halfway home, I said: “Oh shit!! I’ve been so focused on Christmas Dinner, that I don’t have anything to make for us for dinner tonight!!!”

It was too funny. But I managed to pull together an (organic) frozen pizza from my freezer. made some (organic) linguine with (organic) pesto rosso that I had in the cupboard, which were not yet past their expiration date, and God knows, there was plenty of wine and beer on hand for my guests… So, honestly, it actually turned out simple but amazing.

And then, very quietly, I said to Michael: “I was thinking I wanted to go take a quick walk and look at all the Christmas decorations, because I haven’t had time to see any yet. Do you want to come with me? Just a quick walk around the block?”

Well, not only did he say “yes,” but then everybody said yes and so off we went! And it was so fun. but that quick walk around the block turned into a one-hour walk, wherein we checked out the Christmas lights of practically every house in the entire village!!

They, of course, were buzzing and I was completely sober, but we laughed a lot and had so much fun. However, loyal readers of this lofty blog know that, nowadays, I have some problems with my legs, so I was quietly thinking: holy shit, what have I gotten myself into?— when we weren’t even half-way done with our quick walk.

But I hung in there and we really did have a great time.

And they were up all night in the kitchen, drinking, smoking, cooking — getting things ready for tonight’s dinner. (And, btw, my cheesecake looks perfect. Here’s hoping it will taste perfect!)

And I quietly came downstairs to the kitchen at my usual 5:30AM, to feed my many cats and also myself, and put a pot of coffee on — and all their dishes and pots and pans were washed and put away. And little Christmas nightlights had been left on, which made the kitchen look so peaceful in the dark.

And Kon Tiki of the Great Outdoors was sitting on the kitchen counter, looking out the window at the bright moon shining down through a mist on the dark yard… Kon Tiki usually likes to be outside all night, but she really gets along with my houseguests, so obviously, she had come inside to hang out with them while they were cooking, and I found that so sweet.

So, today is all about getting the rest of the food ready and setting the table for Christmas dinner and then, of course, sitting down to eat. I will probably have a thimble-full of wine and maybe a drop of cognac with dessert, but I’m doubtful that I can even handle that, but we’ll see!!

Okay, regarding the “news”–

The situation between Phil and Nick at Good Lion Films got really out of hand yesterday. Just unbelievable. Like a pack of wolves, really. I did end up leaving the Good Lion telegram channel, primarily because a lot of the posts there go off in directions that don’t appeal to me anyway. But I gave it a lot of thought, and I perused the Good Lion Films & TV app again this morning, and I decided that I want to keep it. At least for a while. I really do value the documentaries that Good Lion has made over the years. 

Regarding Total Disclosure’s claims that Nick “steals everything”, well, I just don’t know. He is always upfront about saying that his work is gathered from sources that are all over the Internet, or based on books, or the research that is also done by other people. So, for now, I’m keeping my account.

So we’ll see.

And this was posted by Dr. Reiner Fuellmich’s people — a downloadable pdf with his Defense’s official press release.

Very interesting — the “charges” he’s being held in prison over. Is this a psy-op, or what?? Amazing that they are keeping him in prison over stuff like this.

You can read or download the pdf here.

And the closing remarks this morning from Reiner’s team:

“Many thanks to all donators, many thanks to all people who continue to trust in Reiner and many thanks to all those who continue to stand tall and still fight for truth and justice. We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a New Year that will hopefully bring the changes we have all been fighting for so long. Thank you for standing with us.

Gisela, on behalf of Reiner and the whole ICIC-Team. ❤️🙏”

In closing news —

Nick Cave sent out a very entertaining Red Hand File this morning, wherein he answered many questions with a single “yes,” “no,” or “I don’t know”.

For instance:

I’ve just seen a clip of Pink (the acclaimed singer) flying over her audience on wires, performing many acrobatic moves? Have you ever thought of doing such a thing during a Bad Seeds concert?

No.”

And also this:

What’s the point of living if free will is an illusion?

I don’t know.”

And there was also this — and no (!!), I was not the woman who asked this question!! Everyone knows that I am way, way, way past menopause…

Will you come and live with me in my house in the woods so I can have your babies?

No.”

You can read it in full here.

And that is it!!

Have a beautiful Christmas Day, if you celebrate it!

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