In case you didn’t know yet, Phil will be doing a livestream tomorrow, Tuesday, Oct. 24th, the time has not been announced yet, though. Check here to confirm. He says that the “intel will rock our world.” (Hopefully he means in a good way…)
A very great update: BENJAMIN FULFORD UPDATE TODAY OCTOBER 23, 2023 (19 mins):
Also, tonight — Nick Cave in Austin!! But it is SOLD OUT!
And tomorrow at noon, Central Daylight Time, he’ll be doing an instore book signing at BookPeople.
**********
And I can’t wait to read this! It comes out tomorrow, on Bill Wyman’s birthday — Billy in the Wars:
“Billy in the Wars is the illustrated memoir of ex-Rolling Stone Bill Wyman, recalling his experiences as a young boy growing up in wartime Britain. Bill brings history to life through the personal lens of his childhood memories, where grim anecdotes of war are punctuated by moving moments of childhood innocence and joy. […]”
I won’t be buying it until I get back from Canada, but the excerpts I’ve seen so far have been just wonderful.

One of the best songs to listen to while driving on the backroads during this glorious autumn! I almost, you know, left my body in joy, while driving to town for the groceries this morning. Unbelievably beautiful. Try it soon!! Okay. Enjoy.
This was interesting. It’s a long article, but if you have a strong stomach, you should read the whole thing.
From Real Raw News:
“Special Forces-Spetznas Team Crushes Adrenochrome Cartel in Ukraine
[…] According to sources in Gen. Smith’s offices and at the FSB, Russia’s Federal Security Service, the joint unit capsized a multi-billion-dollar Adrenochrome cartel that had been operating with impunity along the Ukraine-Poland border. Sources said the unit spent the first half of October dismantling the Radchenko Cartel, which kidnapped countless children, sucked their adrenal glands dry, and, after nourishing them back to reasonable health, sold them to pedophiles and into sex slavery. Reportedly, children can be drained several times before adrenal fluid becomes inert.[…]
[…] Special Forces/Spetznas surveilled the building and saw no bubblegum or tattoos, and whoever had occupied the warehouse appeared to have departed hastily, leaving behind three dozen medical-grade refrigerators, often used to chill Adrenochrome, and 6,000 grams of fentanyl, one of several synthetic opioids common in Adrenochrome formulations. They also found the decomposed remains of a man with a bullet in his head and whose identification and cell phone the killers had conveniently left at the scene. Spetznas knew him as Sergei Nicholas, a prolific Ukrainian drug trafficker with a penchant for peddling drugs to school kids. For reasons unknown, the cartel had apparently whacked its henchman.
The Special Forces-Spetznas team set explosive charges and destroyed the building.[…]
[…] Her information brought the unit back to Ukraine, where they split into two tactical teams. One penetrated the Deep State coven of Kyiv and put surveillance on Radchenko’s lavish townhouse in the wealthy Pecherskyi District, along the Dnipro River, a region magically unscathed after two years of alleged unremitting hostilities.
“We do not bomb civilians like your media says,” a Spetznas told his Special Forces associate. “We do like you. We attack only the Deep State.” […]
[…] As the missiles showered the park, the Kyiv team raided Radchenko’s villa, killing him, his mistress, two dozen armed guards, and, unfortunately, the 9-year-old boy Radchenko had been raping.
“The innocent sometime get caught in the fog of war. There’s no such thing as a perfect plan; it’s a myth,” our source in Gen. Smith’s office said. “This should put big dent in the Adrenochrome trade, but there’s so many kids unaccounted for still.”[…]”
We are also being told to watch Putin and Xi, instead of Israel and Gaza. I can only imagine it has something to do, ultimately, with BRICS, but I don’t know for certain. However.

Other than that, it is an unbelievably stunning autumn day here in the Hinterlands! For the next few days, I’ll be doing laundry, cleaning the house, getting the yard ready for winter and bringing the plants indoors, going into town to run all my errands before my birth mom arrives to look after my cats while I’m in Toronto.
*****************
All right. Well.
Yesterday, I began posting to my new free substack account. I did not announce it at all, and yet 35 people went there anyway. And a few more have already been there this morning. I don’t know where these readers are coming from, but since everyone already seems to be there…
Here’s the official announcement!
If you’re on your computer, the link to my substack is at the top left corner of this page.
If you’re on your phone, in the drop-down menu at the top right, scroll all the way down to the bottom link, and the substack link is there.
Erotic stories & brief memoirs, excerpts from new published works, and excerpts from works-in-progress will be posted there (and not here) from now on.
But please keep in mind, all of the projects from Marilyn’s Room Books are intended for adults only. Thank you.
*************
And tonight! In Dallas! As far as I know, tickets are still available. After that, only 4 more shows before Nick Cave’s Solo Tour/with bass player is over, and the remaining shows, after tonight, are sold out!
Plus, Nick Cave will be doing two more in-store book signings this coming week. One in Austin, and one in LA:
Okay.
I’m off to finish the laundry!! And get more coffee!!
Enjoy this wonderful Sunday, wherever you are in the world!
Thanks for visiting. I love you guys. See ya!

More from the “soundtrack” of my novella-in-progress, “Novitiate”!
July of 1966, Tommy James & the Shondells, “Hanky Panky”. Enjoy!
But now there is a post on his channel from this morning — a tiktok video featuring a girl who absolutely looks like she was generated by A.I., but that’s sort of how young women want to look these days.
Wherever he really is right now, he is posting from somewhere that doesn’t allow me to copy & paste his posts, so I can only paste the links. But please read them if you haven’t already.
And in other Italy news — on Charlie Ward’s channel there is a tiktok video regarding Italy being the first country in the world to outlaw synthetic meats and synthetic foods of all kinds. The video is HERE.
***************
I am in a high level of anxiety these days. I am pretty much staying off the internet and trying to focus on my writing. Making good progress on the novella, “Novitiate.” So that’s good. It helps me ignore the anxiety.
Today I go back to the train station for the next few days. And as luck would have it — we are expecting rain for the next few days! I guess we’ll see how that goes. But this will be my last week at work before I go to Toronto for the opening of our play, “The Guide to being Fabulous.”
If I don’t make it to the blog tomorrow:
Nick Cave will be in Atlanta!! But it is sold out…
And tomorrow is the heavenly birthday of my beloved Tom Petty! He would have been 73, which I find utterly impossible to wrap my mind around….here he was at age 27, one of my favorite photos of him:
RIP Tom Petty 1950-2017

Simon Parkes had a great update yesterday. It was balanced and insightful about both Israel and the RV.
If you aren’t a member of Connecting Consciousness, you won’t be able to watch the video. But joining is free and you can join HERE. (It can take a while to be approved, though.) (Briefly, regarding Israel: he says that there is indeed “a war” of sorts going on there, but it is not what it seems, and that the images you are being shown on MSM and even in Alt media are purposely misleading and intended to upset you.)
This just sickens me, gang. Even this late in the game, they are still going to arrest Truthers? I have no clue if this is optics, or what it is. But you can send postcards to him here:

Yesterday, I had to write up a brief note “from Sandra” that will go in the show’s program at Soulpepper when our play opens there next week. In going over my files from 2014 (!!), I found this photo that I just love — the women in Sandra’s family. They were all very supportive of her throughout her life, including during her transition:

Today at noon in Nashville, TN! Nick Cave will be doing an in-store signing of his book, Faith, Hope & Carnage, at Parnassus Books.
And tonight, he’ll be live at the Ryman!!!! Tickets are still available.
A fan took this photo of Nick Cave outside the theater in Detroit Sunday night. I think it’s so funny! Probably the worst photo of him that I have ever seen. (It was really windy and he was in a hurry to get into the theater…):

That’s kind of it.
I’ll close with this today: Over the weekend, I happened upon an old Randy Travis CD, Storms of Life, from 1986. I used to love Randy Travis, but at some point, he just slipped out of my consciousness.
I immediately remembered that the song “Storms Of Life” was a song that was sort of my anthem to my birth father, but I didn’t remember why. So I put the CD into the CD player in my kitchen and took quite a trip down Memory Lane!! Even though my birth dad has been dead now since 1999, that song still reminds me of the (really complicated) man I knew so briefly.
And then I remembered that there was some other song of Randy Travis’s that I really loved but I couldn’t remember what it was, so I started hunting for other Randy Travis CDs, and I found the song. A huge hit from 1987, “Forever and Ever, Amen.”
I took that out, too, and played it and suddenly recalled how that was the song that played right after Wayne & I said “I do” at our wedding and then turned to go up the aisle as married people!! (Yes, I am incredibly romantic.) (We walked down the aisle to “The Hawaiian Wedding Song,” from Elvis’ movie Blue Hawaii, and then up the aisle to “Forever and Ever, Amen.”)
So I’ll leave you with both of those great Randy Travis songs below!
*********
Have a terrific Tuesday, wherever you are in the world.

“Storms of Life”
“The Storms Of Life”
There’s a dirty piece of cardboard That reads Montgomery Ward Taped across the window of my old Ford. A six-pack on the front seat and a box of chicken wings, I’m dialin’ ‘cross the radio for a song that I can sing
I’d better change my wandrin ways, I know I’ve seen my better days, Always gettin’ high when I get low. Well, I left my soul out in the rain, Lord, what a price I’ve had to pay. The storms of life are washin’ me away.
An old mail pouch, tobacco sign Fadin’ on the barn, Bringin’ back sweet memories of Mama’s farm When love was just a country girl that lived on down the road. [Spoken:] you know, she almost had me turned around, But that was years ago.
I’d better change my wandrin ways, I know I’ve seen my better days, Always gettin’ high when I get low. Well, I left my soul out in the rain, Lord, what a price I’ve had to pay. The storms of life are washin’ me away. Yeah, the storms of life are washin’ me away.

“Forever and Ever, Amen”
“Forever and Ever, Amen”
You may think that I’m talkin’ foolish You’ve heard that I’m wild and I’m free You may wonder how I can promise you now This love that I feel for you always will be
But you’re not just time that I’m killin’ I’m no longer one of those guys As sure as I live, this love that I give Is gonna be yours until the day that I die
Oh, baby, I’m gonna love you forever Forever and ever amen As long as old men sit and talk about the weather As long as old women sit and talk about old men If you wonder how long I’ll be faithful I’ll be happy to tell you again I’m gonna love you forever and ever Forever and ever, amen
They say time takes its toll on a body Makes the young girls brown hair turn gray But honey, I don’t care, I ain’t in love with your hair And if it all fell out, well, I’d love you anyway
They say time can play tricks on a memory Make people forget things they knew Well, it’s easy to see, it’s happenin’ to me I’ve already forgotten every woman but you
Oh, darlin’, I’m gonna love you forever Forever and ever amen As long as old men sit and talk about the weather As long as old women sit and talk about old men If you wonder how long I’ll be faithful Well, just listen to how this song ends I’m gonna love you forever and ever Forever and ever, amen
I’m gonna love you forever and ever Forever and ever, forever and ever Forever and ever, amen
Some of you might have already seen this post from yesterday. I can’t vouch for its accuracy, obviously, but if it is true, then it is HUGE.
From Real Raw News:
“JAG Convicts, Sentences [General] Mark Milley to Hang
10/10/2023. GITMO.
A three-officer panel at Guantanamo Bay convicted disgraced former General Mark A. Milley of treason and sentenced him to hang after a military tribunal that saw Vice Adm. Darse E. Crandall lose his cool to Milley’s provocative spurs. […]
[…] The date of execution has been scheduled for Oct 13.”
I wish Phil would do a livestream on what is really happening in Israel, but so far, nothing. The only thing we can really know for sure is that nothing about the current war is as it seems. (And let’s not forget Afghanistan, gang — fake, fake, fake!)

Okay, that’s it for now. It’s back to the train station for the next few days.
Oh! Although, so far, there has not been the lockdown in Toronto that some fear porn-ers were saying would happen this week, I sadly am seeing people putting on masks in Canada and talking about the “COVID surge”… I cannot believe how hard it is to wake people up.
Anyway. I guess we’ll see, regarding Toronto. But meanwhile, tonight in Montreal!! The show is sold out, but if you have tickets, enjoy yourself!!
Have a great Thursday, wherever you are in the world.
Thanks for visiting. I love you guys. See ya!
(Oh. PS: I am going to be re-designing Marilyn’s Room Books, in order to get all the books on there. Plus, Valerie and I are still working on the Zazzle store. Her beautiful dog, Kiki, passed away unexpectedly and everything got put on hold.)

Once again! From my wee bonny girlhood. It still holds true today. Enjoy!
“Get Together”
Love is but a song we sing Fear’s the way we die You can make the mountains ring Or make the angels cry Though the bird is on the wing And you may not know why
Come on, people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now
Some may come and some may go He will surely pass When the one that left us here Returns for us at last We are but a moment’s sunlight Fading in the grass
Come on, people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now
Come on, people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now
Come on, people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now
If you hear the song I sing You will understand, listen You hold the key to love and fear All in your trembling hand Just one key unlocks them both It’s there at your command
Come on, people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now
Come on, people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now
I said come on, people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now Right now Right now
“Mind Control only works as long as we participate. It’s always the same old game. 🤢 Once you know, you know. 💥💪 💡”
Very interesting points here, posted to Goodliontv:
“From Wyatt on X:
Isn’t it funny how just as Israeli society is tearing itself apart and appeared close to civil war, this attack comes along and within hours Netanyahu’s political opponents are forced into a coalition government to support him?
I take nothing away from the bravery of the Hamas soldiers who are fighting in this battle, but it is simply not credible that Hamas could have done this… The Gaza fence is an open country with little to conceal advancing Hamas units, and we are talking about hundreds of Hamas soldiers moving across the border. Where were all the IDF units who normally man and monitor this border fence? What happened to the surveillance of the border fence? What about the sensors? What happened to the vaunted IDF air defenses that were overwhelmed by Homemade hang gliders powered by lawn mower engines and box fans?
We are hearing rumors that Iran conducted a cyber attack that took down the electronic surveillance of the border fence, but did the Iranians also order the removal of IDF units that apparently left the Israeli border towns utterly defenseless? It seems much more likely that Netanyahu orchestrated this as an easy way to solve his political problems while also providing a pretext for the IDF to finish the ethnic cleansing of Gaza and perhaps the West Bank as well.
It’s like Israel is having its own “9/11” with the same suspicious, “how did this happen”. War usually needs a reason to start. 9/11 was the US reason for the Gulf War, Gulf of Tonkin was the reason for Vietnam, and now Israel has a reason. No, I think all wars begin in secret rooms with men who do not give a damn for innocent people, period.
Hamas = Mossad Al Qaeda = CIA
Create a problem, offer the solution of more tyranny to solve said problem. I’ve seen too much to think these people aren’t gleeful to kill their own to advance their means.”
*****************
Also, this was posted on many channels, but here it is from Goodliontv (this is related to a Q drop about Trump being Batman):
“Dan Scavino, Don Jr & Eric Trump have all three posted this!”
***************
Part of the anti-Biden optics (or psyop, or whatever it’s called) in this current “war”–
“Everyone standing with Israel are the same people who stood by George Bush after he created 9/11 and went after weapons of mass destruction. Blind emotional retards who let the TV & media decide for them instead of using their own damn brain.
I feel for the innocent dying – it’s insanely wrong. What’s worse is their own government caused it & now you have people crying for support for Israel.
Cry for the innocent yes… that’s good and right. But don’t be bowing to the narcissistic leaders that created this. Be smart. Be useful. Don’t be a sheep. Be a Lion!”
************
So, here we go again, gang. But “Israel is last” — and this is not to imply that people aren’t being killed or haven’t been killed all over the place — but this is almost OVER!!
In other news…
Nick Cave is in Boston tonight! Last I saw, tickets were still available.
Okay. Have a terrific Tuesday, wherever you are in the world.
It rained a little during the night, so now all the fall leaves that are scattered everywhere, are also wet from the rain, and the streets are wet from the rain, but the sun is out now and the sky is blue and everything just looks so autumnal and lovely this morning.
I don’t know if you caught Phil’s livestream last night, but, wow, I found it incredibly frustrating, antagonizing, and ultimately, annoying, so I shut it off.
Not something I usually do with Phil, is it???
He was doing this new format: 2 Lies and 1 Truth. Listeners could pick the topic, then Phil offered 3 statements and we had to pick (on telegram) which statement was true about the topic.
The problem is, that if/when we picked the statement that was a lie, he would not tell us which statement was true. So it was extremely annoying. It meant that maybe we got intel, but maybe we didn’t. And perhaps the intel we’d thought we had, and could rely on, was false, with no way of fixing that.
(The only thing I liked, really, is that Biden will allegedly resign and then be indicted for his crimes. We shall see.)
If you think this sounds like fun, though — and it seems like many listeners did find this fun — you can watch the replay here (2 hrs):
**************
Here, life is interesting. I vacillate between feeling really upbeat, hopeful, happy, and feeling really just over life, totally.
The play opens in less than 3 weeks. There are certain things about this production I’m not super happy about, but I have no control over any of it and maybe it will ultimately turn out splendidly. Sandra wants me to just have “fun”; that it’s only one production, in one city. Honestly, I’m trying to have fun, but for reasons I can’t post publicly on the blog, it gets really, really difficult to overlook certain things that are right in my face….
However, one truly fun thing, is that Wayne will be coming to Toronto for the opening and he has decided that he wants to rent an Airbnb house just for the two of us. So that really should be incredibly fun. (Back when he and I were married, the one thing we were always really good at was traveling together.)
And this way, Sandra and her husband, Ken, can be alone in the other Airbnb house. And she won’t have to worry about having too many people around while she’s trying to focus. So, honestly, that part of the trip should really be fun. And Wayne and I will attend 3 of the first performances together, and also the Drag Ball that Sandra will be judging after the Sunday matinee.
So I will have company. That in itself is a novelty these days. I am almost always 99.9% alone.
************
Pretty much everything else going on in my life and on planet Earth is extremely confusing to me right now. I’m guessing I will adjust, eventually. But it is rough, gang. A full-time job, just keeping those vibrational frequencies as high as possible right now.
So I’ll just close with that.
I’m guessing that if you live in or around NYC, you know by now that Nick Cave is performing tonight, tomorrow night and Sunday night. On Tuesday, he will be in Boston. Tickets are still available for some of these shows. You can buy tickets HERE.

I can’t vouch for this, obviously, but it is interesting, so here it is–
From Real Raw News:
“White Hats Destroy FEMA’s EBS
[…] And chatter they heard. A puzzling blend of incomprehensible babble meant to confound White Hat efforts. Throughout September, FEMA conspicuously mentioned 24 cities in 16 states; White Hats interpreted the unencrypted prattle as misdirection, red herrings aimed at forcing them to waste valuable time and assets. Nonetheless, General Smith sent troops to three alleged locations, which held traps—squads of trigger-happy FEMA goons eager to squeeze off a few rounds at valiant Marines. In each case, though, the Marines outsmarted the dimwitted feds, killing 36 in total and taking five prisoners, and in one engagement that took place in Roanoke, Virginia, a cowardly federal supervisor, the sole survivor of a blistering firefight, stood amid his bullet-filled comrades, windmilling his arms in the air, shouting, “Don’t shoot! Don’t shoot! I give up!”
White Hats aggressively interrogated the prisoners, but none, including the supervisor, admitted to knowing the location of the EBS. […]”
So, Phil’s Q&A last night was great! Again! 2 hours of fun! (For the most part, that is…)
If you missed this repost from GoodlionTV on Phil’s channel yesterday (a number of truthers were reporting this in various ways); worldwide financial reset underway! (I’m STILL thinking that the alert from my bank — see my post from Sunday — means the QFS is coming to the Hinterlands on October 31st!):

Okay, so, it is really looking like things are just barreling straight to the finish line, gang. I’m still hoping the EBS doesn’t come the moment I step off the plane in Toronto or something like that, but I guess we’ll just see.
Chris Sky posted to his channel, a city hall worker saying that a new lockdown is coming for Toronto next week — here’s hoping he’s totally wrong about that. That would absolutely totally 100% fuck up our play!!! We’ll see.
***************
If you live in NYC, you are so lucky right now!!!! (Other days, I’m not so sure…)
Thursday, Nick Cave will be doing an in-store signing at the Strand Bookstore on the corner of Broadway & E. 12th Street, and an “In Conversation” at the 92nd Street Y, promoting the US paperback release of his book, Faith, Hope & Carnage.
And then Friday, Oct. 6th, he plays the Kings Theater in Brooklyn (with Colin Greenwood on bass). Then on Saturday and Sunday, he’ll be in NYC at the fantastic Beacon Theater! (Saturday night is sold out, though.)
****************
Here, life is just really good. Another unbelievably glorious day is upon us. The kind of day where you look out at the blue sky and at the trees with their autumn leaves, and you don’t need to wear a jacket outside because it’s back up into the 70s, and everything just feels perfect. Plus, you don’t have to go into the train station (!!), and you can just stay home and WRITE (and also chat with Valerie on the phone!!).
So I’m going to get down to all that right now.
I hope you’re having a great day, wherever you are in the world.
Thanks for visiting. I love you guys! See ya!

Yesterday marked the 6th anniversary of Tom Petty’s passing from this world. In honor of that, my breakfast-listening music yesterday was disc 2 of this fantastic, posthumous, collection:
And from that CD, I leave you with this! Such a great song. Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers and Stevie Nicks, “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around”. 1981. Enjoy, gang!!
“Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around”

And speaking of interesting banking news — my own local bank, here in the Hinterlands, sent out an alert on Friday, saying that they are “upgrading to a new digital banking platform” on Oct. 31st, so we all need to change our passwords by Oct. 30th….
It’s going to be a Q&A of some kind, and we always learn so much mind-blowing stuff during those Q&A’s.

BENJAMIN FULFORD UPDATE TODAY SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 – BENJAMIN FULFORD (24 mins):
****************
Here, things are great but I am unbelievably wiped out!
The train station was so busy last night that it was dumbfounding. We have never, ever, EVER been that busy before.
Luckily, I have great co-workers, and, truthfully, our customers are also really great. They really are — especially in the evenings. They are smart, funny, considerate, patient people of all ages. I kid you not. Which is why, once I’m at work, I don’t mind being there. The General Manager had to come in last night to help us get through the shift. She never works nights; I’m the night shift supervisor. But at the end of the evening yesterday, she said to me: “I can see why you like working nights here. You’re right, this is like a whole different place at night. The customers at night are much more fun.”
It’s the main reason why I hate it when they need me to come in and work a day shift…
Me at the train station last night — I’m in the apron:
But, anyway, my 63-year-old bones felt about 80 years old by the end of the shift last night, and they don’t feel that much better here this morning.
Still, it is a gorgeous day. I’m hoping to go back into town today and get the groceries, even though I’ll be back in town on Wednesday, to have lunch with my long-time buddy, Steve. He and I have been friends since we were 11 years old — since our wee bonny Jewish childhoods. He insisted we have lunch before I go to Toronto, so that we can celebrate that wonderful play I wrote with Sandra Caldwell — “The Guide to Being Fabulous!”– opening, finally, at the end of the month!!!
I don’t know if I have the energy to go into town today, but I don’t think I have enough groceries to last me until Wednesday…
Okay, so.
Today, marks one week since I went to Cleveland and had the time of my life — challenging as it was, at times. Every memory I have now, even the challenging ones, fill me with such a feeling of joy. I am so glad I took that trip!!

Strange stuff at Real Raw News regarding the never-ending mystery of General Mark Milley. Allegedly, he was finally arrested and is now at Gitmo. (Wait — wasn’t he arrested a couple of years ago and sent to Gitmo? )
Anyway. There are several articles about it, but here’s this one:
“Gen. Milley Cries Foul; Tells JAG He Still Works for President Trump
