In real time it’s hard to get people’s attention. Maybe it’s because most people need group validation that something happened or not. Or maybe it’s the fact that distance makes it ok to enter the scene of the crime. It’s hard to understand, but real time is when people don’t want to talk, won’t take action, won’t make a stand, won’t give an opinion… they want to get away from you and let it marinate while they take the temperature of the room.
We used to laugh at a shifty A&R guy who’d listen to your record and give you no read as to whether he liked it or not, because in truth he had no musical ears at all. He wanted to hear from his staff. The joke between us became “Ok, thanks let me play it for my staff and i’ll let you know what i think”.
Someone who can take action in an emergency, whether it’s getting in the car and driving there to literally drain people’s homes or help them get through a life threatening spot, donating money, clothing, food, whatever one can. These are rare people but we need everyone.
North Carolina is in real time right now. None of it makes any sense. Pull out a map of the US and look at the geography, let alone the topography of how inland and mountainous these parts are, then imagine that Helene decided to pick on this one mountain spot. From the sea.
It reminds me of the cars burning into liquid metal on the highways of Lahaina, or the trees burning from the inside out in Paradise, CA. It’s a hard discussion to have because we don’t know the truth. Only some of us are willing to admit we’re being lied to on a grand scale. Others will admit it years from now, but at that point it’s far too late.
“Is your wife cheating on you?” ‘Yes.’ “Ok conspiracy theorist, how?” ‘Well, I don’t know but….’ “See, you know nothing and are just full of crazy notions! Maybe you need medication.” ‘No, I know because she works late and doesn’t answer her phone when I call anymore’. “You mean she’s busy? Can’t a woman be busy?” ‘Yes that’s not what I’m saying but…’
You get the rest. To be lied to doesn’t mean you have all the answers, but it doesn’t mean you’re a theorist either. You just have no way of telepathically getting facts. The ones that ridicule you for this are seriously either the dumbest people on the planet or the most destructive. They either need to feel smart about knowing what their TV’s said, or they want the destruction of America. It’s one of the two.
Do you really think John Kerry is so smart he can predict climate change as our most existential threat? This guy is dumb as a rubber hammer. He’s never done a thing in his life to improve this planet for anyone but himself. He’s a skull & boner who knows what H.A.A.R.P. is called today, and what they’re capable of with frequency, laser and the magnification of each.
Do you really believe Bill Gates has some sort of qualification that possesses him to determine whether a vaccine is good for every man, woman and child to take? Especially when you learn that he owns the patent on the vaccine? Good God you can’t even get every man, woman and child to eat a peanut. Tens of thousands would die.
But for some reason we give Bill Gates a pass for having our best interests in mind. For some reason we still have to withstand the grinding nails on a chalkboard voice of these insidious creatures from the black lagoon like John Kerry, Kamala Harris, Lindsay Graham, Nancy Pelosi, Alexandria oh forget it the list is too long.
Real time is happening now. Do something, anything. Donate. Do your own research. Spread the word.
And if you prefer I’d play music and keep to myself about the state of the world, our time is running out. Music means to me what 750.00 means to a person standing waist deep in water in the living rooms of North Carolina right now. Squat.

Well said, Jude. The trust of the sheeple has been placed in mankind, rather than Jesus. “As for me and my house, we trust in the Lord.”
How people allowed themselves to trust Government, the world over, and a billionaire who is not an immunologist, but owns the patent! – all people unqualified and have never had a medical consultation with each citizen – demonstrates the foolishness of people to be so easily misled, without asking questions, without rebuttle, just plain old acceptance and compliance.
It’s a dangerous world where elected officials and random dudes with pockets full of cash can dictate what is ‘best’ for the people and for society. That bitter pill they are selling of coercive control is taken willingly by many who have so clearly allowed systems and mainstream media to disengage them from truth and believe misinformation.
As you wrote, ‘do something, anything, do your own research, spread the word.’ Keep speaking up, Jude. There are more people who are awake and listening.
thank you Rach ❤️
“They either need to feel smart about knowing what their TV’s said, or they want the destruction of America. It’s one of the two”
I think there is a third possibility. Many have been dumbed down to the point of being unable to critically think. The education system has been systematically creating liberal Democrats for the better part of 40 years now. If you never were shown the nature of reality and how things are meant to be you will be unable to identify when they are out of whack. In this regard the counterculture and those who wish us to collapse have been wildly successful. So, how do we fix it? I don’t believe we can sadly.
You’re right, it may not be fixable. As a collective we need to throw away the news. That would be a start.
I’ve always liked the Dixie Chicks.
♥️ & Gratitude
Kathryn I like to think I get the nuances but you lost me on this one!
Jude my comment was posted at my disappointment with the”Shut Up & Sing” attitude that had been posted by someone regarding you..Natalie Maines ( Dixie Chicks, now Chicks) was told this exact sentence and more when she spoke out during the Bush administration over the impending invasion of Iraq. There’s a doco..
I have a lot of gratitude for the God who made you. None to shabby job at all
Ecclesiastical 10:2
The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.
Ecclesiastes 10:2
The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.
I’ve abandoned the left and the right. At least you can say the left is fulfilling their cause, which I disagree with on almost every level, but the right acts as an opposing force when it truth it’s in name only. They’re all on the same side.
I have lived on the Island of Oahu for 4.5 years now. I have been to Lahaina 3 times prior to its burning down, it was absolutely beautiful, with its quaint shops, local art, hole in the wall restaurants and top notch bars. ‘What happened there was what some called Maui’s 9/11. The travesty now is that the insurance companies are not paying what the value of the homes would’ve been now, they are paying what they were when the policy went into effect. So say a generational home that housed 2-3 families was lost and all its contents, completely plausible, the home was purchased in the 90’s… the family didn’t update the policy, you can guess where I’m going here. I have a client who has a mountain home in NC, luckily they only had flooding and loss in their basement. She was telling me that the people who live in the mountain, live paycheck to paycheck and are dirt poor, exactly as JD Vance described in his book, they didn’t have flood insurance, can we guess where this will go? I have absolutely sent money and help to those that she has sent to me. Trusting the government is something I am not capable of. We also, my family, helped during Lahaina, my husband went over to help find any survivors and to identify the lost, he’s said it was like a war zone. Families burned alive in their cars amist a long line of other cars trying to escape, people burned to a chain link fence… and all they received was $700.00. I trust my neighbors, I trust the people in my community. They will aways be the ones to help immediately, we cannot trust the government will. Just my $.02, Great blog as always,
Lahaina was one of my favorite places in the world, with some of the best people I’ve met. It was truly heartbreaking to witness what happened there. Same with NC.
The world is in unprecedented chaos right now and I can’t help but think this is largely manufactured by pure evil. Never in my life did I ever think I’d be dealing with all this devastation, all this death. I don’t mean just physical death either. Thank you Jude for your spirit, your contributions. Most importantly thanks for eyes wide open. It’s time for everyone to replace their wishbone with a backbone. We’re all dead when this game is over, so play honorably. Play well.
Yes, it’s hard to focus on much of anything else.
What? “Music means to me what $750 means to a person standing waist deep in water in the living rooms of North Carolina right now. Squat.”” THAT hurts, Jude. Music is what MADE you. You don’t have to play music and keep to yourself about the state of the world, just DO something about it. Since you’ve entered into the arena of politics and worldly affairs, I’ve fast lost respect for you. You’re like a yapping dog that sits in the safety of his doghouse and yaps at things going on around him. Got any mirrors around the house? Good. Take a good look at a musician that’s fast approaching “washed up”. You’ve become NO different than Bill Gates or Kerry, Harris and the rest of them. Who care what a fricking musician’s opinions on the state of the world – the only reason you have an audience for your babbling is because you WERE a musician… Join Bono who jumped on the AIDS bandwagon in Africa and had Mandella tell him “AIDS is a white man’s disease. Something else is killing my people”..Jump in with David Gilmore who sold his guitar collection for over $3 million dollars and donated it to…. global warming!
Donate some of you own cash to those folks in N. Carolina. Roll your sleeves up and jump in a boat and help shovel some mud out of their homes, and NOT just fro a day or two, .or just have a big ‘ol steaming bowl of Shut the Fuck Up!
Keeping to yourself about the state of the world, and warning, “Time is running out”. Not for me it ain’t.
Bubba, I stopped being a solo artist in 2000 and have been a manager and producer developing new artists and working, helping others with their music for 25 years. Kind of hard to be washed up when you don’t compete for sales and tickets. After all this time I was excited to start making music again, but it’s free. I don’t ask anyone to pay for it, and actually lose a considerable amount creating it… still it’s been important for me to get it down and out there in the universe. Music didn’t make me who I am. God made me who I am, and i’m the same kid i was when I was 10 years old, hopefully a little wiser. If it weren’t music it would have been something else. Lots on the planet to enjoy. I wish the best for you. And for the record I donated to the victims of Helene and will continue to do so. This is a site where I’m exercising writing whatever’s on my mind, and since I don’t charge anything it’s easy to subscribe or unsubscribe. There are plenty of others who speak of nothing but music on YouTube. For me, I just like to write. Thanks for reading.
Jude, I have to say reading this is quite shocking. I’m so used to hearing bullshit and no one taking a stand either way that when I see someone writing the truth it’s quite surprising. I appreciate your posts and find them refreshingly honest.
Keep writing Jude. You’re not the only one who’s feels the way you do.
Best, Art
