James Tabor announces a GREAT new course!

“This course has Ten Lectures, filmed in HiDef video. It comes with a hefty course pack of study notes and other resources–PDF readings, bonus videos, and lots more. I will also be doing monthly Zoom meetings with the students in this course beginning October 29th. These meetings are not Webinars, where you watch me talk, but a Zoom gathering of all who can “attend,” where we can talk, dialogue, address questions and issues, and continue to learn together.”

ALL details HERE.

Tonight — Nick Cave is in Durham, NC. (Getting closer to Cleveland by the minute, gang.)

And tomorrow is his birthday! He will be 147 66 years old!!

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

And that’s really it for today, gang.

Oh, but wait!! Here’s this!

The train station just launched a new cocktail!! (guess who created it??) (it’s just a little bit different from a regular espresso martini)

Okay, and that’s it.

Enjoy your Thursday, wherever you are in the world.

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

My driving-to-town music from yesterday! Enjoy!!

Just A Stunning Evening!

Yesterday ended just as gloriously as it started out, gang. Weather-wise! It was such a beautiful evening here in the Hinterlands.

I finally finished both the updated résumé and new bio for Sandra and got it off to her around 4PM. And finally had everything off my plate — for a little while, anyway.

And what a beautiful feeling.

During dinner last night, I watched a really cool episode of The Avengers, from 1964 (Honor Blackman as Mrs. Gale — the Emma Peele character was not in the series yet.) (Honor Blackman is also famous for having played “Pussy Galore” in the James Bond movie, Goldfinger, and “Honey West” on TV!)

As Pussy Galore, in James Bond
As private-eye, Honey West, on TV

And in 1964, my aunt bought me a Honey West doll for my birthday!!! I was absolutely thrilled!

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

Anyway. I digress.

After dinner, I did yoga, took my shower, did one of the lessons in the online course I’m studying (again) on the Book of Genesis.

And then, at 9PM, when Phil’s livestream did not come on, I did something I’ve been wanting to do all summer!!

I sat out on my kitchen porch, with my Maine Coon cat, Kon Tiki of the Great Outdoors, and a visiting neighbor cat — that I call Ginger Boy. And I watched the sun go down, and watched all the fireflies blinking like crazy for as far as the eye could see. Listened to the birds singing, as they settled in for the night.

And, with nary a mosquito bothering me at all — I ate a Jonny Pop organic watermelon popsicle and just had the very best evening.

I had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO!!!! Nothing, zippo, zero, nada. Wow.

And when I went in for the night, I watched two more episodes of Yogi Bear from Season 4, followed by an utterly ridiculous episode of Huckleberry Hound!! And then I turned everything off and just listened to the night outside my open windows.

And here is a selfie from last evening — I could not believe how happy I looked, so I took a photo! (And FYI, I will be 63 in 11 days….)

Marilyn Jaye Lewis, 62 years and 354 days old!

If you are interested in reading an extremely condensed version of Sandra’s career — here is her new Bio. (For now! I’m guessing it’ll have to be tweaked a bit.)

Sandra Caldwell

Bio

“A true entertainer in every sense of the word…”  NY Times

“A black transgender woman of immense poise, beauty, and – pardon me, I can’t help it – charm…” Variety

“A provocative entertainer combined with powerful vocal skills, Sandra Caldwell has it all…”   Toronto Star

Sandra Caldwell is a celebrated African American trans actress, singer, and writer whose 45+ year career extends throughout the worlds of film, television, and theater.

Starting out as a jazz singer – her first love – she performed with top orchestras in some of the world’s finest venues, including the Montreal Jazz Festival, the Montreux Jazz Festival, the Newport Jazz Festival, and the White House Jazz on the Lawn series. In her early days, she was a fixture in the café society set in numerous nightspots across the country, also hosting the radio show, Sunday Afternoons with Sandra Caldwell on Jazz FM91 in Toronto.

On television, Sandra was seen in recurring roles in The Gilded Age, High Maintenance, The Book of Negroes, 19-2, Soul Food, and, as a series regular, in Little Men. She had guest-starring roles in such hit shows as Law & Order: SVU and Rookie Blue. Sandra was a featured performer in many TV movies, including Good Fences with Whoopie Goldberg, and Disney’s The Cheetah Girls.

Sandra’s film work includes the upcoming Jackie Shane and Milo & Millie, as well as memorable work in past films, such as Murder at 1600; Shall We Dance, and Maya Angelou’s directorial debut, Down in the Delta.

In theater, Sandra appeared in the musical Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story (Shubert Theater); the Original Workshop for Ragtime (Live Ent. Productions); the drama Coming Through Slaughter (Necessary Angel Theater, Toronto); and was nominated for a Dora Award, the Canadian Tony, for her work in Sophisticated Ladies (Sterling Productions, Toronto).

Notably, in 2017 in the NY Times, Sandra came out publicly as transgender while in rehearsals for her transgender leading role in the critically acclaimed “Charm” (MCC Theater).

Additionally, in 2020, she spoke candidly about transgender representation in the media, in the “enlightening and heartfelt” (- LA Times) Netflix documentary “Disclosure: Trans Lives on Screen”.

A bona fide heroine of today’s LGBTQ+ generation, Sandra’s long awaited self-penned, one-woman show, “The Guide to Being Fabulous”, is a jazz musical that tells the real story of Sandra Caldwell’s unparalleled life. From a young runaway, panhandling on the streets of DC, to the Moulin Rouge in Paris, to her role as Mama Morton in “Chicago” at the Stratford Festival (“4-Stars!” – Toronto Star), she has done it all and endured it all, without losing sight of her comedic timing, her turn of phrase, or her compassion.

Yes, an entertainer in every sense of the word; ladies and gentlemen, we give you…

Miss Sandra Caldwell

Dear Diary, What A Yucky Day!

Rainy, breezy, damp, cool.

Nothing says “summer” quite like that, huh, gang?

And I have the whole darn day off — no chores to do (unless I want to — God knows that with 9 cats currently in my house, there are always chores that I could do)…

My two furry visitors will be returning to their mom in just a few days. I will be so sad to see them go, but my house will be cleaner, that’s for sure. I’m not sure why 2 additional cats suddenly makes my house a mess, but it sure does.

Anyway. I will miss them. They are such sweet cats.

This just in from Johnny Depp on Instagram!! The Hollywood Vampires tour continues!

And speaking of smoking…

I came so close to pulling in to Waterbeds & Stuff yesterday, to see if they sell organic tobacco leaves (I believe they do). I didn’t stop, but what I did see in their parking lot was one car, and a really old guy (likely my age), getting out of that car — while quite a lot of cars were in the parking lot of the Vape Station across the street.

And I thought: It’s just we old people who even remember that Water Beds & Stuff exists… And I wondered if he was going in there to buy organic tobacco leaves…

Me, soon.

Anyway.

Work with Sandra was brief yesterday. We were mostly talking about how fucking insane the Pride stuff is now in NYC (and everywhere). Just garbage stuff and so in your face. You just have to cancel it out now.

I wonder how many Antifa folks were paid to go “be insane” in Pride parades across America…

But because we were talking more than working yesterday, tomorrow will be an intense work day for us instead. And of course, tomorrow, the weather will be stunning! When I won’t have time to go out and do some much-needed gardening that I was hoping to do today

(Oh, and tonight, at 7:30 PM eastern time, they will announce who won the Dora Awards up in Toronto. Our Director, Weyni Mengesha, is up for Outstanding Director of 2022.)

***********

This article was in Uncover DC last evening. I really loved it — even though it’s reporting some bad news. Overall, it is an awesome story, gang:

Making Real Men: King Randall and The Life Preparatory School for Boys by Michelle Edwards (June 26, 20230

[…]During the first year of The Life Preparatory School for Boys, the school dealt with multiple setbacks, including individuals calling the fire department to shut them down and the city of Albany attempting to throw them out of their building. Yet, as with all things rooted in God—goodness and love prevailed. The school forged through the year with many boys, including a 13-year-old former gang member who had been shot, making the honor roll and, most likely for the first time, experiencing a life-changing sense of inner pride. […]

[…] Sharing that he feels sure the attack was coordinated, Randall said the school’s main logo on the school wall was destroyed, sinks were pulled loose from walls, and doors were ripped from hinges. The destruction apparent in the pictures shared on Twitter is unfathomable. Who would intentionally destroy a school making such a positive impact? Besides the sheer destruction to the facility and its contents, Randall remarked that given the nature of the items stolen, it is difficult to believe that the three individuals he caught acted alone. […]

[…] Immediately after Randall shared the news of the vandalism on Twitter, he shifted his focus back to the well-being of his boys, which is where it has stayed from day one. […]

[Read this incredible story here]

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

And this is also awesome. It came by way of the Ohio local Connecting Consciousness Group —

If you are unaware of what certain churches did to Native Tribal children in Canada (“disappeared” them & much worse; approximately 60,0000 of them), then please research it. And don’t stop at sites that constantly “debunk'” and “fact check.”

Native elders banish and reclaim churches, appoint Kevin Annett as peacekeeper as occupations loom (3 mins):

**********

In an unexpected move (!!) —

Nick Cave did a podcast with the Archbishop Justin Welby on the BBC over the weekend… You can listen HERE (28 mins).

And in an unrelated item…

Dr. Morse’s Herbal Health Club had another free webinar a few days ago, this time on the Digestive System. Here is the replay:

Insight into the Digestive System Function & Therapeutics (58 mins):

And even though I can’t talk about it, there was even MORE good news from James Tabor last night that has just got me so excited, gang.

However, it has also increased the amount of research papers I have to read by tenfold. Seriously. Just so much stuff. All of it amazing (to me, anyway. If you aren’t interested in archeology and the 1st Century Jesus Movement, then, obviously, you have a lot less reading to do…).

And here is the first episode in a new series by James Tabor–

Death & Afterlife: The Ancient Hebrew View (48 mins):

And if this is of any interest to you —

I am revisiting an online course I completed only recently, but it was so good, that I had to go over it again. It is 24 lessons on the book of Genesis. And Genesis is absolutely not all that you think it is, gang — and in many ways, it is so much more. (This is a scholarly look at Genesis, not a theological one.)

For instance —

In a related note — from Ross K. Nichols: What was the Forbidden Fruit? You Might Be Surprised (about 20 seconds):

My companion guide while I re-study the course on Genesis, is James Tabor’s amazingly handy The Book of Genesis: A New Translation from the Transparent English Bible — which is truly a “transparent” translation. It keeps as close to the original Hebrew text and spirit as possible.

And last night, in connection with re-visiting the first few chapters of Genesis, I listened to a very well read audiobook on LibriVox of Sir E.A. Wallis Budge’s scholarly account: The Babylonian Study of the Deluge as Told by Assyrian Tablets from Nineveh; and The Epic of Gilgamesh.

In it, you can compare the historical accounts of the much earlier flood with the story of Noah that is told in Genesis — among other things.

If you’d rather read an eBook of it online and see illustrations of the ancient tablets of Nineveh you can go here. (It does not include The Epic of Gilgamesh, though.)

Anyway, it was fascinating and it was great being able to just lie in bed and listen to it as the sun was going down and fireflies were emerging all over the evening that was outside my window — and not have to do a ton of academic-type reading…

And yes, for some reason, this is my beautiful life. I have no idea why.

Okay, today is dreary, yes. But this afternoon, I’ll be catching up with Val in Brooklyn over the phone, and I always love doing that. Sort of the high point of my week.

Have a terrific Tuesday, wherever you are in the world, okay??

I’m going to get back to work here on my erotic novella-in-progress Novitiate.

Thanks for visiting.

I love you guys See ya!

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

The “soundtrack” for Novitiate continues!

Yes! It’s That Frisky Time of Year!!

When raccoon cubs who were born out back in your barn , come out during the night and finally help you re-decorate your kitchen porch!! Yay!!

When I opened my kitchen door at 6am this morning, to find my outside cats, Blackie and Kon Tiki of the Great Outdoors (it’s a long name but it really suits her), sitting patiently amid tipped over plant stands and flower pots, scattered food bowls and spilled water dishes, I said, “Oh my god!!”

And then the early happy morning in Crazeysburg commenced from there…

Yes! Onto other topics…

I am somehow up to my eyeballs again in rewrites today.

You probably think this is the longest play in history, but actually, the final version will only run 1 hour and 15 minutes, including songs, with no intermission. But that is part of the problem — trying to trim it way down without losing the actual storyline or any of the (great) songs.

But we’re getting there!!

Anyway, it is another really lovely day here, and I enjoy sitting at my desk when the world outside my many windows is so beautiful.

Plus, it’s “Old Home” week in Crazeysburg. It’s not really called that — but it’s the time of year when people who used to live here come home and have a reunion with the 14 people who still live here, and there is a carnival, and food stands, and live music.

It all happens one block from my house, and they close down 2nd Street, so all the “traffic” gets re-routed onto my street (1st Street). I use that word “traffic” lightly. At any given time of the day or night, there is usually maybe one car or pickup truck driving past my house. Usually, actually, there are none.

But this is the week, when 5 or 6 or sometimes 9 cars or pickup trucks might drive past at the same time. So it gets lively!! Especially in the evenings. Seriously, though, everyone in the village is in a really festive mood right now.

I love this photo from 1910. It is of our old Methodist church, which is still there — across the street from the new Methodist church. Someone bought it recently and turned it into a private home. but this building is also one block away from me. The village is 200 years old.

In much larger world news….

Apparently, the Hollywood Vampires play Romania tomorrow and, according to Instagram, the guys are already there, lurking about!!

It looks like there are still tickets available. I’m not entirely sure about that because I don’t speak Romanian. But you can check here for tickets.

And according to the seating chart, section C, the cheap seats, is for Drunk Friends (!!):

“Drunk Friends (C) Fără loc, în spatele categoriilor Heroes si Boogiemen”

Rest assured, though, there are also VIP seats, if your reputation is important to you.

And if you do live in Romania but do not know who the Hollywood Vampires are, they are:

“Supergrupul din care fac parte Alice CooperJohnny DeppJoe Perry (Aerosmith) si Tommy Henriksen”

Okay.

From James Tabor yesterday– “In this archive interview footage from November 1991 I talk about three Dead Sea Scroll texts–two of them newly released at that time, all of which relate to the idea of a suffering Messiah figure who is then connected to the idea of resurrection of the dead.”

Dateline November 1991: Our First Look at the Unpublished Dead Sea Scrolls (30 mins):

And if you’ve been following Ross K. Nichols’ series on the Book of Jeremiah — “Dive into our standalone season finale of ‘The World and Words of the Prophet Jeremiah’ as we undertake an intricate journey of disentanglement and reordering. This episode seeks to reveal the internal chronology of the book of Jeremiah, a task that scholars have puzzled over for centuries due to the apparent lack of chronological arrangement.”

Chronological Clarity (Audio) – The World and Words of the Prophet Jeremiah (52 mins):

And there is also this! For no reason whatsoever!! A photo of Nick Cave from a trillion years ago (not quite as old as the book of Jeremiah). But I just love it:

All righty.

I must get started around here. I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday, wherever you are in the world!

Thanks for visiting.

I love you guys. See ya!!

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

More driving-to-town music from yesterday!! Enjoy!!

I Cannot Believe It!

I can’t believe that this (eternally young) hero from my wee bonny girlhood is 76 years old today!!

Ronnie Wood, 1975

And what’s even harder to wrap my mind around is that he’s been with the Rolling Stones for 48 years already…. When the heck did that happen??!!

I remember it like it was yesterday. I loved Ronnie when he was in the Faces, but the Stones were my absolute favorite band and so I was thrilled when he joined the Rolling Stones — and I was able to see him play with them in Cleveland, during their tour of the States in 1975. (And I was very close to the stage!!)

Anyway. A very happy birthday to Ronnie Wood!

Me and The Rolling Stones in Cleveland June 14th 1975

I think this is an extremely appropriate song for today! The Faces’ (Ronnie Wood singing) “Ooh La La” from 1973 (I just love this song!!):

In other important news…

In honor of Milk Day (whatever that is), Nick Cave’s Cave Things has that very wonderful bone china milk jug (in America, we call it a creamer) on sale for 50% off! It’s $26 (plus shipping) today only!

While I hesitate to promote anything that promotes the Devil (which is extremely difficult to navigate if you love Nick Cave…), I do love this little milk jug!

And the milk jug is named after one of my very favorite Nick Cave songs of all time, from the Bad Seeds album, Tender Prey, in 1988 – “Up Jumped The Devil”!!

In still more other important news–

The paperback edition of Faith, Hope & Carnage was released in the UK today — and it includes a special new chapter, “Two Years Later,” written in 2023! Not sure of the release date in the US, but it’s coming… (Buy it or pre-order it HERE)

If you want to see what it looks like out here around where I live — in the Hinterlands of Ohio– then watch this 3-minute video from Anthony Dupler!! It is from 3 days ago, in Hocking Hills:

And this is not related to Ohio, but I found it fascinating. A whole new (but very ancient. as it turns out!!) way of farming: The Power of Electroculture (1 hr 35 mins) (this is a private video, btw). I learned a lot:

In addition to being up to my eyeballs in re-writes of the play yesterday (“The Guide to Being Fabulous!”), I also took a webinar from Dr. Morse’s Herbal Health Club. It was on the function and protocols for the Urinary System.

If you are interested in herbal healing and naturopathic health, here is a link to the blog post that goes into what we learned in the (free) webinar yesterday. You can also sign up there for upcoming webinars. I think they will be offered once a month.

So, I did finally complete the re-writes needed for right now. Well, I sent them back to Sandra who, quite possibly, will send them back to me, needing additional changes. But we shall see!

I cannot stress enough how much I love this show, gang. She and I have been working on it for many years. And to see it finally going into production with such a prestigious theater — it is exciting.

********

If you recall, several weeks ago, a co-worker had some serious water damage done to her home, which caused serious electrical damage on top of it. And she had to move into a 2-room trailer with her very pregnant sister and 2 toddlers. So her two cats were getting seriously underfoot.

The 2 cats came to live with me until their home is ready to move back into. (About 3 more weeks or so.)

These wonderful boy cats were very terribly abused as kittens. My co-worker rescued them when they were 3 weeks old and had been discarded in a dumpster (with horrible stuff done to their tiny faces).

They are grown now, and are healthy, happy cats. However, one of the cats, Indy, does not like to be around people so he stays up in my storage closet and only comes out at night, when I’m asleep.

But Al immediately became my very best friend!! What a great companion he is. The only problem is that he fights with every single one of my other cats — including the two cats outdoors, if he can escape fast enough and get out the kitchen door when I’m coming in!

That aside, I adore this little guy. Here he is this morning, on my bed, as the sun was coming up and I was having my coffee:

Al the cat

And that is kind of it in my world this morning! Phil is off and getting ready for his wedding and honeymoon, so things are quiet over there for now.

And in other birthday news…

My ex-husband, Wayne, turned 69 years old today! I’m not sure how that happened, either, but it did! He was 38 when we met…

We spoke briefly on the phone this morning and he told me some incredibly disgusting but very very funny jokes! Happy Birthday, Wayne.

Wayne, with my shoulder, in 1995.

Enjoy your Thursday, wherever you are in the world, gang.

Thanks for visting!

I love you guys. See ya!

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

On our honeymoon, Wayne and I drove cross-country. Here is one of the songs we listened to constantly on that fantastic trip!!

“Who Were You Thinking of Last Night” by the Texas Tornados, 1990.

“Who Were You Thinkin’ Of?”

Who were you thinkin’ of
When we were makin’ love
Last night?
Was it a good-lookin’ stranger
Or a close friend of mine?

You didn’t wanna quit
When we was into it
Last night
Who were you thinkin’ of
When we were lovin’ last night?

Who were you thinkin’ of
When I was makin’ love
To you?
There was a smile on your face
I ain’t seen in some time

You got more out of it
Than I put into it
Last night
Who were you thinkin’ of
When we were lovin’ last night?

(Aw, squeeze it, Doogie)

Who were you thinkin’ of
When we were makin’ love
Last night?
There was a smile on your face
I ain’t seen in some time

You didn’t wanna quit
When we was into it
Last night
Who were you thinkin’ of
When we were lovin’ last night?

Who were you thinkin’ of
When we were makin’ love
Last night?
Was it a good-lookin’ stranger
Or a close friend of mine?

You didn’t wanna quit
When we was into it
Last night
Who were you thinkin’ of
When we were lovin’ last night?
Who were you thinkin’ of
When we were lovin’ last night?

Happy Memorial Day

As always, there is not much that is publicly happening, gang. The only things that are public are big bunches of psy-ops and unbelievable noise.

Simon Parkes had an interesting update over the weekend. I can’t embed the video because now you have to join Connecting Consciousness in order to watch his updates. (Joining is free, though.)

But he said some very curious things — one of which was that perhaps the White Hats want us all to disengage now and go back to our lives. Since there is basically no intel and everything important is happening behind the scenes. And all of these optics are just too much for us to sort through or make sense of.

He did emphasize, though (as Phil also does), that we are near the end of all of this and that the outcome is going to be very good. And that we are very close to reaching that “92% of people being awake” now.

Meanwhile…

It has given me a lot to think about.

For me, disengaging doesn’t mean I would stop following the few truthers who are left who are of any interest to me anymore. But it would mean that I would stop posting to the blog about it.

And all of that thinking got me to the conclusion that I am going to stop now. I’ve posted enough here over the last 3 years that leads everyone to the non-MSM news sources if they want to follow them.

And I have a few key things in my private life now that I want to devote my attention to.

One is that my father is dying, which requires a lot of emotional processing. And going to see him involves a lot of driving.

Another is that the play in Toronto is going to require a lot of my focus for most of the summer. Meaning, the final re-writes. Rehearsals begin in September and it opens in late October.

I also want to get back to work with Peitor on our numerous film projects for Abstract Absurdity Productions — although his mom is dying now, too. And they now live in the South of France, so the time difference between us gets complicated with my work schedule.

Also, for several months now, I’ve been a member of James Tabor’s private Patreon group, where we support his upcoming research projects and archeological work pertaining to ancient Christianity and the original Jesus Movement in Israel and Jordan.

The zoom meetings require a lot of reading beforehand — scholarly papers about the research that has already been done by him and others. And also re-reading his book The Jesus Discovery, which I read when it first came out but it was so long ago, I don’t remember enough of it.

On any given day or night, I am also taking various courses online that all pertain to this topic of ancient Christianity, Jesus of Nazareth, Judaism and the origins of the Holy Bible, ancient Hebrew — courses that are taught by various teachers other than James Tabor, but it all forms the foundation of trying to better understand that era of our civilization.

I want to be able to really concentrate on all of it now — and hopefully go with James Tabor’s group to Jordan late next year.

Long-time readers of this blog know that I am also working on a play about Caiaphas (“In the Days of the Flesh: The Gospel According to Caiaphas”), and using a fictional account of Caiaphas’ reincarnated lives to tell a different story about Jesus of Nazareth. Historical, rather than theological — but still fictional. I am also thinking I want to make it a short novel now, in addition to the play.

Anyway, all of it is connected.

And all of it is connected to my ministry — strange as my ministry is. (I went to Divinity School, and graduated Summa cum laude, got ordained, left organized Christianity to try to follow the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth instead, which is extremely difficult to do since Rome, especially, went to a great deal of trouble to ensure it is nearly impossible to find out who Jesus of Nazareth really was and what he taught — and I guess my entire ministry will ultimately lead people to Jesus through the life Caiaphas! We shall see.)

So, I guess in honor of all those many soldiers who died in much bloodier wars, trying to defend the US Constitution — as of today, Memorial Day, I am going to disengage now from posting about the war.

“Time To Move On”

It’s time to move on, time to get going
What lies ahead, I have no way of knowing
But under my feet, baby, grass is growing
It’s time to move on, it’s time to get going

Broken skyline, movin’ through the airport
She’s an honest defector
Conscientious objector
Now her own protector

Broken skyline, which way to love land
Which way to something better
Which way to forgiveness
Which way do I go

It’s time to move on, time to get going
What lies ahead, I have no way of knowing
But under my feet, baby, grass is growing
It’s time to move on, it’s time to get going

Sometime later, getting the words wrong
Wasting the meaning and losing the rhyme
Nauseous adrenaline
Like breakin’ up a dogfight
Like a deer in the headlights
Frozen in real time
I’m losing my mind

It’s time to move on, time to get going
What lies ahead, I have no way of knowing
But under my feet, baby, grass is growing
It’s time to move on, it’s time to get going

c – 1994, Tom Petty

Have A Great Memorial Day Weekend!

If you live State-side, have a great Memorial Day Weekend. I have to work through most of it, but at least we are going to have really great weather!

Not much news again.

Phil re-scheduled his livestream for tonight:

Great news!

Nick Alvear from Good Lion TV has been released from jail!

“Patriot Filmmaker Nick Alvear was arrested by U.S. Marshalls in Tennessee and held in Grayson County, Kentucky from May 5th until May 24th. He violated probation for moving to Nashville under a storm of miscommunications from two probation officers – he stayed put in Nashville and was written up for a violation of probation. His initial probation was due to being present at the January 6 storming of the Capitol. The funds raised will be used for legal fees as there is a hearing set for July 18th, however, we found a fantastic attorney and are aiming at getting Nick off probation altogether. He has been released on a motion to dismiss and was allowed to reside in Nashville, Tennessee – all signs that Judge Cooper is taking into consideration the jail time Nick has served and the community service he’s completed since being out. The goal remains firm, to prevent any extradition to Washington DC & to get Nick off probation entirely. We will give away memberships at a discount and other perks for your help! Nick will remain active in producing films with several new projects in line.”

From Dr. Reiner Fuellmich:

The End of the Economic Dictator Mr. Global

In this episode of ICIC, Dr. Reiner Fuellmich talks with Andreas Popp, author, entrepreneur and founder of “Wissensmanufaktur,” who has lived in Canada for 15 years with his partner Eva Herman. Fuellmich and Popp shed light on socio-political, ecological and economic issues and lift the veil of disinformation, providing a bird’s eye view of global world events and history.” (1 hr):

Lately, the Michael Jackson channel has been all about giving a detailed rundown on everything that has been happening for the last several years.

From this morning’s post — (full post here):

[…] The global stage of world affairs is about to reveal its hidden secrets, with DeSantis taking center stage. However, doubts arise regarding his Yale University connection, which was allegedly funded by Epstein. Similar skepticism surrounds other prominent figures like Musk, Rogan, Jones, Tucker, and more. Pay close attention because each one plays a crucial role in this epic saga.

While military operations continue to awaken the masses, notable figures from both sides of the political spectrum, including RINOs and Democrats, have taken the vaccines despite not aligning with Trump. But behind the scenes, military intelligence masterminds have orchestrated an astonishing plot, crafting an apparent conflict between Trump and DeSantis—a well-scripted masterpiece.

Yet, the real revelation lies in DeSantis’s courageous exposure of the WEF, the global elite on an unprecedented scale. European news outlets and social media are buzzing with this groundbreaking disclosure. DeSantis leads the charge in unveiling the insidious grip of the CCP, which controls the WEF and drives the globalist agenda. […]”

“⚡️President Donald J. Trump’s Indictment Postponed

The Manhattan grand jury indictment has been delayed by a month.

The break would push any indictment of the former president to late April at the earliest, although it is possible that the grand jury’s schedule could change. In recent weeks, the Manhattan district attorney’s office hasn’t convened the panel on certain days. But it is District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s prerogative to ask the grand jury to reconvene if prosecutors want the panel to meet during previously planned breaks.”

I thought this was sad. Nick Cave and his wife sold their legendary family home in Brighton, after 21 years of living there. I guess it’s time to downsize? Time to move on?

From yesterday’s Daily Mail UK:

Nick Cave sells his Grade I-listed Brighton seafront mansion complete with bubblegum-pink lounge and purple kitchen to city high-fliers for £2.9m – 21 years after buying it for just £165,000

A Terrific Tuesday!!

Yes, it’s gray and a little chilly here today, but the kidney stone is completely gone and that makes it a terrific day!!

Phil will be live tonight at 9PM Eastern time.

He also posted this short video yesterday, exlaining the term “Limited Hangout.” The video is very short but informative; it explains how the [DS] is setting up only a few people to take the fall for the COVID scam, but the White Hats will take down all involved.

Also, COVID was not a Wuhan lab leak. (It allegedly came from a biolab in Ukraine but I’m not positive about that.)

Robert Kennedy Jr, Explains Why Fauci Had Such a Problem With Early Treatment

Tony Fauci’s problem is this: there’s a little known federal law that says, ‘You cannot give an emergency use authorization to a vaccine if there is any medication approved for any purpose that is shown effective against the target disease.’ So if Tony Fauci or anybody had admitted that hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin are effective against COVID, it would have been illegal for them to give the emergency use authorization to the vaccines and they could have never gotten them approved, and a 200 billion dollar enterprise would have collapsed.”

My morning-listening music!!

A classic from The Mavericks, “Oh What A Crying Shame” from their huge hit album, What A Crying Shame, 1994. (Honestly, gang, when this album came out, I could not stop playing it!! And FYI — Lo! these many decades later — Raul Malo still has an incredibly beautiful voice!) Enjoy!!

Rejoice & Smell the Coffee, Baby!

If you missed Phil‘s livestream last night, you can watch the replay here:

PRISM (1 hr 22 mins):

He had some fantastic intel and insights into not only 2000 Mules, but also the US Supreme Court’s ruling soon on election fraud. (He’s proposing that by May 31st we will have some great news, gang, regarding the rigged election.) (That is only 3 weeks from today!)

It is not necessary for you to have watched 2000 Mules to be able to enjoy Phil’s video, but it would be helpful to watch it, regardless.

Phil also drops more info on himself and SNOWDEN (!!). (i.e., one and the same. The hints are over; the cat, I guess, is finally out of the bag.)

This is coming to end, gang. Finally. And the ending is going to seriously be worth all this horrible shit we’ve gone through for the last couple of decades. I, for one, cannot believe it. I wish some of my friends and colleagues who were either murdered, committed suicide, or just plain passed away from old age, were going to be around to see what is coming. But maybe they can see it all from where they are now.

Which brings me to the next– really sad — topic. It is so conflicting for me, to feel so joyful about all these things I have fought for, raged over, since time immemorial (or at the very least since Bush went into Iraq), barreling to a staggering conclusion. And then to feel so sad about what happened yesterday.

Nick Cave’s son, Jethro, passed away. There are no details about why or how. Just that he is indeed gone now. Age 31, I think. Just unbelievable. (Two of his sons gone now, in the space of about 7 years.)

I knew something bad was going to happen yesterday. I had such a strange morning. So much anxiety and yet I couldn’t pinpoint where it was coming from. I took my CBD. The ashwaganda, the saffron. Nothing helped. I drove to work listening to Nick Cave (“Balcony Man”), wondering if some sort of bomb was going to go off in some country somewhere, creating even more awful carnage and chaos… but then, when I was at the park on my lunch hour — a really gorgeous day — I saw the news about Nick’s son. Wow. Just heartbreaking.

Jethro Cave

(Okay, so this is odd. I was just on google images, looking for photos of Nick & Jethro and it suddenly switched to google.russia. Okey-dokey. I see stuff like that and I want to just shut down the laptop ASAP. Jesus.)

Well, now that bitchute is being weird and not allowing me to embed videos (or maybe my laptop is somehow compromised and suddenly not allowing it), I can only post from rumble and YouTube. But you know what? It cuts down on a ton of effing NOISE, gang. Bitchute is off-the-charts now with chaotic BAD shit that passes for news.

I am still on telegram, of course, but even there, the “news” is getting slimmer and slimmer. If you’ve been following my blog for the last few years, most of what I now find on telegram is stuff I’ve already posted here at one point or another, so I don’t post it again.

This only adds to my feelings that things here in the US, at least, are coming to their grand finale. It is all boiling down to that rigged election going public, at last. (I do not know what’s really going on with Xi and Taiwan and whatever is left of the CCP, obviously, but it could be that all of that is playing out right under our noses anyway. I just don’t know.)

I’m thinking this means we should split our time now between the Q stuff and getting our lives back. Maybe even for the first time, ever. Yay.

Okay.

Another reminder from “Nancy Drew” in DC:

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

Also, in a similar vein — from Ezra A Cohen:

“Jill Biden is not in Ukraine.”

[which reminds me, gang — all these “celebrities” who are allegedly in the war zone? They aren’t. So where are they? And Methinks these are likely body doubles with their actual selves already under arrest somewhere…)

Also from Ezra — (I’m guessing you saw the markets tanking hugely yesterday):

“US Economy in full collapse. Did you empty your bank?”

(which, of course, reminds me of that weird thing that happened here in Crazeysburg on Saturday morning — the power and Internet going down for 2 hours, at exactly the same time, and then my bank acting as if nothing were out of the ordinary…)

ALSO from yesterday:

“Blackrock is responsible for the crypto crash today.”

And posted just now:

“Project Bluebeam being considered.

Now US House subcommittee is doing something it hasn’t done in almost 50 years.”

A study found large humanoid figures carved on the ceiling of an Alabama cave more than 1000 years ago.

[…] A scientific study has uncovered massive, ghostly figures carved into the ceiling of an Alabama cave more than 1,000-years ago. 

The figures, three of which were humanoid in shape, are among the biggest ever uncovered in the Northern Americas. Some are more than 6ft long per a study presenting the findings published in the peer-reviewed journal Antiquity on Tuesday. ” [full article here]
