The Prodigal Band’s ‘Missions of God’: Snippets On How the Prodigal Band Carries Them Out (Part Three): Guitarist-Producer Mick’s Mission

I would say Mick’s mission was given to him by God’s angels, the Tooters, as it was given because of his connections to the occult as well as the fact that he was considered by the media and fans and more as the most reprobate member of the prodigal band, including the fact that he had been bisexual and hung out with supposed Satanists. Further, when the angel gave him the mission message while the singer held his final song note at that local music festival in July, 2000, that angel “spewed fire” in disgust as he spoke (from Chapter Ten of The Prophesied Band, © 1998 Deborah Lagarde). The angel’s message is below:

None of the six were more shaken than Mick, who shivered mightily in his clothes as Tooter One, with a voice that could spew brimstone, helped the lanky one recount his many acts of perversion: pagan worship, leading your occultist Druid Family cult, promoting and loving the satanic singer, Adam Bloodlove.

“Even so, you have finally seen some of the error of your ways and are thus entitled to complete your mission. One, continue to mend your sinful lifestyle. As you do this, we, The Tooters of The Creator, charge you with making your fellows in perversion see their own errors. As well as you can, lead the fornicators and pagan worshipers to the One True God. Your mission completion will help Him weigh the rest of your life in the balance. We hope you will not be found wanting.”

A Look at the Key Chapter of The Prodigal Band Trilogy that Decides the Fate of the Prodigal Band, and Their ‘Redemption Draws Near’ (Part One)

It is within Chapter Eleven of The Prodigal Band, the third novel of The Prodigal Band Trilogy, where the most important key to the purpose of writing this trilogy is found. It is where the prodigal band named Sound Unltd decides to ‘return to the Father,’ that is, God, as the Luke 15 Parable of the Prodigal Son states. It is where they collectively decide to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and Redeemer.

It has been over three weeks since I posted my last post which related to The Murder Rule, the post being inspired by the near-assassination of Slovakia leader Fico and the assassination of a military leader of Iran, Raisi…on top of other important assassinations and near assassinations that have been done recently—and throughout history. But last night as I was reading this section of The Prodigal Band, inspiration came into my head to write here that this section ‘sealed the deal’ so-to-speak—the band would accept and carry out their ‘missions of God’ given to them by God’s angels, the Tooters, at their hometown festival, during the final note of a song the Tooters gave them years before.

This section is long and somewhat complicated as each band member sparks his personality into the conversations they carry out within a ‘void,’ a timeless, soundless, unknown dimension they think just might be ‘heaven.’ It is a void they were ‘caught up’ into having been taken out of a jet that was about to burn due to a bomb going off, a bomb placed by a minion of evil to force them to ‘toe the line’ or be murdered. They were headed to a ‘Directorate meeting’ where the agenda was to force them to finalize their ‘sell their souls to the devil’ pact, on paper, to finalize their ‘oaths’ to the satanic spirit figure, Corion. The section begins with them getting onto their 747 jet from Philadelphia to London and ends with their collective decision to accept Christ. The section will be divided into a few parts, and, unlike the snippet posts which tended to be longer, each sub-section will be explained as to the personalities within the conversations and various events that happen to them in the void, including those with Biblical implications…being “caught up,” but not quite in the clouds…

Before I post the segment that begins this series of posts, let me review for the reader’s sake the names of the band members ‘caught up’ into this ‘heavenly’ void—from Chapter One of Battle of the Band, with the names of the band members inserted in parentheses:

A lead singer (Erik) with dark brown mid-back length hair accentuated by sensuous bangs on a baby-face was slender, thin-lipped and of medium height. Voice a Godly gift. Yet, some said, the devil’s tool.

The tall dirty-haired guitarist (Jack) possessed an angular face and had hair growing on once side-shaved sides of his head. Now without the screaming instrument he fired into immortality.

The dark, strapping bass player (Keith) with bushy black curls and coal-dark eyes walked without his trademark gold chains.

The tall, lanky, beak-nosed, ringlet-haired master of many guitars (Mick) worried over his past perversions.

The pot-bellied, biker-esque synthesizer player (Bryan) famed for red hair as wild as the wind, fiery as his brew, bore a downcast of regret.

A short, curly-blond percussionist (Tom) once angered by lost love approached with the others to an unknown destination, glad with a full life behind him.

Below is Part One of this series; the scenes are a prelude to the ‘caught up’ into a ‘heavenly realm,’ with the band members at the jet and on it headed to London. But there will be ‘note’ interruptions to explain what is going on in the segments and the characters involved.

Spiritual Truth, Yes, But Also Physical Reality Truth Inspired Me to Author My Novels (Part Three: Truth About the Music and Entertainment Industries, From the 60s To Today)

Well, I was unable to put together this Part Three last week, too busy and health and vehicle issues. So, this post is a week late.

Further, I want to mention a novel I’d read and did a lesson on during in my senior year of High School, in English Literature class, a novel by Aldous Huxley, called Point Counter Point. Many consider Huxley to be some socialistic elite scumbag who wanted to screw over the average person, because, after all, that’s what Thomas Huxley and the Fabian Socialists wanted to do. Thing is, while Aldous was a Fabian Socialist (as was George Orwell, by the way), he also told the truth about the psychopathic and anti-human aspects of the elites he hanged out with. While Brave New World is his magnum opus so-to-speak, Point Counter Point is maybe his best and most truthful novel, for it exposes the utter arrogance and psychopathy of the British elite upper class and aristocracy, set in the 1920s—and also features one or two “good guy” characters who opposed this evil elite agenda. This novel, too, inspired my authoring of my novels (the Huxley novel also has a ‘murder rule’ aspect to it). It is for this reason that, unlike so many exposers of elite evil who consider Aldous Huxley an elite scumbag, I do not (and didn’t he predict in a way the transhumanist evil being brought about now in his Brave New World?).

Back to this Part Three post…

From the latter 1960s moving forward, little by little, I found truths that caused me to wonder what the agenda of the popular music and entertainment industries truly was. The whole psychedelic drug thing, the effects of which did not resonate with me: the expression “turn on, tune in, drop out” made no sense…drop out of what? Because articles written in pop culture magazines back then couldn’t help but report “hippies” and whoever taking these drugs and throwing themselves out of windows or thinking they could fly…headfirst onto pavement! Then there was the change in the music, from regular pop to ‘psychedelic’ and ‘orchestral.’ The orchestral (Moody Blues, Pink Floyd, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, and others) was great, almost traditional classical in a way. But the psychedelic was…weird, especially the Beatles album Sargeant Peppers (and the rest of the title), which had the weirdest album cover I had ever seen. All sorts of celebrities on it, many of them dead. Then that weird looking bald-looking older man on the right side of the cover as one looks at it…who turned out to be the forefather of satanic influence in pop culture, Aleister Crowley. That died in 1947…twenty years before that album came out. The opening lyric of the Sargeant Pepper song brings this up (and since the lyric is copyrighted, I’m not going to quote it), and refers to the likely possibility that Crowley was indeed Sargeant Pepper, who “taught” the band to do something if you know what I mean. Plus, Paul McCartney looked different for some reason…and then later, the Abbey Road album cover has him barefoot…Hmmmmm. It was around that time that the ‘Paul is dead’ meme came about. Then about ten years later, John Lennon was assassinated. Then, after George Harrison during an interview (sorry, don’t have link but it’s on YouTube) claimed Paul was indeed dead, so became Harrison! So too did Ringo report this years later, and he is still alive…I hope anyway!

Spiritual Truth, Yes, But Also Physical Reality Truth Inspired Me to Author My Novels

In the previous post titled “Leaving Spiritual Emptiness Behind” citing the spiritual reasons for writing all of my novels, I state that overcoming spiritual emptiness was a major factor. All of the major book characters, especially in The Prodigal Band Trilogy novels, had to overcome spiritual emptiness, and they did by accepting Christ as Lord and Savior and Redeemer as well as partaking in their ‘missions of God.’ At the same time, physical reality emptiness was also overcome as they all began to live in the real world and left behind the staged-celebrity-persona ‘world’ as they became husbands and fathers and (as to the main female characters) mothers and family-oriented men and women with a more traditional bent.

Putting Together The Murder Rule….and the Fun of It!

I am nearly finished with the final edit of The Murder Rule, and, when the edit and any other info that needs to be included is complete, it will become a downloadable FREE PDF and will also become copyright registered with the Library of Congress. That way, no AI mechanism can “re-write” this novel, and hackers, beware. When a literary work is registered with the Library of Congress, one can sue to copyright violator.

Update: The Murder Rule has been finalized and registered with the Library of Congress as a published work. The finished FREE PDF novel will be uploaded soon, and the menu above will link to where it can be downloaded.

There is some Biblical scripture in The Murder Rule, but the scripture is from the copyright-free Authorized King James Version, so no copyright violation issues there.

And another thing—a couple of parts of this novel have sections of previously copyrighted manuscripts; two parts are featured in Battle of the Band, and one part, Chapter Two of Part Three of The Murder Rule is (with some changes) featured in The Prodigal Band. This is already copyrighted material I have authored in the original trilogy novels, so I will have to mention this within The Murder Rule. After all, The Murder Rule is a “spin-off” novel from The Prodigal Band Trilogy novels. But since I own the copyright to these sections (most of which were revised somewhat in The Murder Rule), no issues there.

Let me explain why I chose certain “spin-off” scenarios from the trilogy when I could have chosen other parts.

Excerpts from The Murder Rule, Part Three, Chapter One

This third set of excerpts from The Murder Rule is from Part Three, Chapter One and features narrator Lloyd Denholm, who was also the narrator of Part One. As with Part One, his X-Zine magazine pop-culture pundit ‘boss,’ ‘Cal.edit,’ gives Denholm an assignment regarding a ‘death’ of an important handler within the music industry. The assignment is to find out the truth about this ‘death,’ and who planned and committed the ‘death.’ Was the ‘death’ actually a murder? However, the e-mail actually came from ‘Cal.edit’s’ privacy-security head, Agent P, who had previously worked for British Intelligence, but then faked his own death. The ‘death victim’ mentioned in the e-mail is someone Denholm had met with in the past, which is one reason he was given the assignment. While many of the characters in Part Three are from England, a few key characters are from a fictitious Central Asian nation called Adabustan, a nation briefly mentioned in The Prophesied Band. The following excerpts are © 2023 by Deborah Lagarde.

A Further Introduction to The Murder Rule, With More Coming

And here is a “more rigorous” part of the Introduction or Preface to The Murder Rule, which I had stated contained three parts. Here is why there are three parts—the characteristics of the three most important character-types in each of the three parts: entertainment industry celebrities, music industry fans who are heavily influenced by their celebrity idols (and which can apply to any fan of any industry, such as sports, fashion, artwork, novels and books, nature, religion, cults, politics, ideologies…you name it), and industry handlers and controllers, both good and evil (or any handler or controller of a any industry or nation or NGO…you name it). So I am dealing with so-called “influencers” (I wonder who came up with that term!), those influenced, and those handling the “influencers.” These characteristics can apply to nearly anyone on Earth: the masses (the influenced), the controllers (the so-called “elites,” most of whom are simply IMHO parasites), and those that the controllers use to influence the masses (the celebrities and other idols).

Now, The Prodigal Band Trilogy also had these types but is mostly focused on the “influencers” (the prodigal band Sound Unltd) and the controllers (Swami Negran, Cole Blessing, Mark Besst, Torquay and his bankster buddies, and one good guy from the elites who sided with the band, not the controllers—Joe Phillips, a key character in Part Three of The Murder Rule), but does not key in on “the masses” so-to-speak, with one exception—Bobby Jones, a fan and roadie and creator of a song the band will perform in order to aid in their “mission of God” given to them by the forces of Good. Further, while these “forces,” which are spiritual—the Tooters angels and the “witch” Morwenna—play key roles in the trilogy, they are barely mentioned in The Murder Rule. Why? Because The Murder Rule is more “physical world” focused. While the evil that rules this world heavily influences those who carry out the Evil’s missions of death and destruction of what the Almighty God has created, The Murder Rule (while still spiritually inspired) is mainly about exposing the Evil and its minions and their agendas. As Ephesians 6:12 states: “We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” And part of my mission is the “wrestle” against the spiritual wickedness in high places that controls the “controllers”—the “flesh and blood” the Evil uses to “control” the world so as (it thinks) it can ascend into heaven (Isaiah 14-style, the so-called “five ‘I wills’”). And I hope the reader of this novel will carry out similar missions to expose the Evil and its minions.

Remember: the Evil and its minions will lose, for God—the Creator and the Almighty—not the Evil or its minions, is in control!

 

My next post will likely be in mid-July. Like I said, more “introduction” info is coming. And the editing of each of the three parts is completed. Next is putting it all together, and the cover art…

Preface to The Murder Rule

A more rigorous Introduction to The Murder Rule is forthcoming.

Using three parts, with each part utilizing characters that make up support or main characters within The Prodigal Band Trilogy, this ‘spin-off’ novel attempts to expose what I have discovered to be a ‘conspiracy’—a truthful one—within the hallmarks of powerful institutions and industries, with focus on the entertainment industry. As with The Prodigal Band Trilogy, those within the entertainment or popular culture industries that fail to ‘toe the line’ set forth by the captains of those industries stand an excellent chance of being ‘cancelled,’ so to speak. Further, those on the fringes of these industries that expose the evil within these industries are also targets, which, in Part Two, includes a rock band roadie that also joins the same cult of which this band are members. Finally, those in industry ‘elite’ circles who turn against ‘the agenda’ of the ‘rulers’ of both the industry and the world in general, even those within elite family bloodlines, are not exempt from danger.

In this novel, I call this ‘danger’ ‘the murder rule.’

In the third novel of The Prodigal Band Trilogy, called The Prodigal Band, is the opening line of the novel—“If dead rock stars could talk.”

In other words, rock stars and others within the pop culture industry that turn against their ‘rulers,’ having realized they partook in evil activities on- and off-stage and inside and outside the recording studio and also partook in debauched lifestyles even to the point of life-crisis, have fallen victim to the consequences of no longer ‘toeing the line.’ Recent examples include Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington and Sound Garden’s Chris Cornell, both of whom, being close friends within rival bands, set out to expose pedophilia rings in and out of the entertainment industry, and more. The false ‘narrative’ claims they committed ‘suicide by doorknob.’ Can one truly hang themselves on a doorknob? I don’t think so! My conclusion is that both were murdered for wanting to expose pedophile rings. Unfortunately, dead rock stars cannot ‘talk.’ If they could, they would expose the truth of it.

But The Murder Rule also features characters affiliated with entertainers who know and want to expose the truth if the evil in the industry. One is a roadie and fan of the prodigal band who joins a cult only to leave the cult upon discovering its evil and thus risks ‘the murder rule.’ Another is the prodigal band manager who never truly went along with the evil agenda that happened to be ruled over by his own father!

To expose evil, but not by giving speeches or lectures or using the tools for videos. To expose evil by utilizing the writing talent God gave me…part of my ‘mission of God’ so to speak, is why I wrote this novel.

                                                                             Deborah Lagarde,

                                                                             June 13, 2023

Hopefully, the Introduction will be completed by the end of June at the latest. Cheers!

“The Murder Rule” Has Been Completed…with Final Edit Upcoming.

I have just completed the preliminary edits for all three parts of The Murder Rule, with a final edit coming soon–and then ‘splicing’ all three parts into one whole novel, and, of course, creating the cover art, copyright pages, and the Preface which I am composing now. The novel will be published by OmegaBooks and will be available as a FREE PDF. For one thing, I do not need the income from book sales, and to get the novel in print form I’d have to pay a possibly large price to get print editions. I could put the novel on Amazon Kindle or another platform, but then I’d have to follow their guidelines as to formatting that I really don’t have the patience to perform just to earn a bit of income from e-book sales and/or royalties…it’s not worth the effort when it is the MESSAGE imparted within the novel, not income, that matters to me. And the MESSAGE is this–the world is ruled by evil! This evil must be defeated!
The next post, which contains parts of the Preface (or Introduction) to The Murder Rule, will be posted later this week. Then the Foreword, which sums up each part, will be composed and partially posted before the end of June, 2023. Cheers!

Note: The picture shown above (that I took with a camera, not a smart phone, back in 2009 while in Washington, DC) may be featured within the cover art.

When Bad Events Lead to Good Outcomes: Snippets from The Prodigal Band Trilogy and The Murder Rule, Part Two

I said in the previous post that my next post in this new snippet series would be in mid-March, so, here it is, mid-March, after a ‘spring break’ camping trip with family. While during most of the trip I did hiking through forest-river areas, I did consider what could make up the second post—which is similar to the first post about an evil man who repents of his evil and accepts Christ as Lord and Savior in his death bed. Yet in this post, the ‘accepter’ so-to-speak is minutes or even seconds away from death by murder, and this event takes place within Part One of The Murder Rule. And did this victim, Denny Spradlin, a rock star and friendly rival with members of the prodigal band Sound Unltd, actually repent and accept Christ in such a short time before death took him, or is that how his band mate, Blake Fenmore, interpreted a statement the victim left in a metal strong box? Note: Both Denny and Blake are featured in Battle of the Band.

The snippet below (© copyright 2023 by Deborah Lagarde), from Chapter One of The Murder Rule (Part One), contains an email letter from Blake to ‘CalEdit’ of the alternative pop culture magazine, X-Zine, sent in 2005, asking X-Zine to investigate what Blake sees as the murder of his Wolfin band mate and best friend, Denny, in early 1996; Blake had originally told the media it was a suicide or drug overdose, but did so out of fear that if he revealed it was murder, he too would be ‘murder-ruled.’
