More About My New Novel The Prodigal Band Aftermath: The Plot to Take Over the World Using Artificial Intelligence Apps and Operating Systems (Part One)

It has been over two months since my last post! Sorry about that, but I have been busy—camping/fishing trip, visiting a chiropractor in El Paso because I developed lower back and thigh pain while on the trip and even before it, birthdays, chores, and more. And also, finding the inspiration for the new novel overall plot with spiritual overtones as to how digital IDs and artificial intelligence (AI) is affecting life on Earth today….and all the posts online claiming we may be entering ‘the end times’….and fake this and fake that.

I had stated that it crossed my mind that the powers-that-be might be trying to configure a fake ‘rapture’ where fake bodies are seen heading into the clouds ‘to meet the Lord in the air’ (1Thessalonians 4:15-16) while believers on Christ are ‘left behind’ to wonder why they weren’t ‘caught up in the clouds.’ That way, Christians who believed in a ‘pre-trib rapture,’ not being caught up, would renounce their faith in Christ—which is exactly what the forces of evil want!

However, the notion of fake rapture is not going to be featured in the new novel. But the now infamous World Economic Forum saying telling us ‘useless eaters’ that “You will own nothing and be happy” does play into the plot.

In the novel, an evil corporation which (not too ironically considering the mess that Microsoft’s Windows 11 has become thanks to its ‘recall’ AI app which lets Microsoft control pretty much the entire computer device, and Apple’s Mac operating system isn’t much better…and Linux? Hmmmmm…..)…well this evil corporation called Origin, having designed a new operating system as the others have collapsed (remember, this is fiction…I’m not browbeating Microsoft or Apple or Linux or any other system for real…I still use Windows 10, okay?)…the collapse being fictional…has actually in fiction bought out the other companies such that Origin’s operating system was the only viable one around. The time frame in the following post is late 2025.

The snippet below (copyright © 2025 Deborah Lagarde) features Morwenna, former (and future as well) spirit being who communicates with the Tooters angels to message those she is told to message, such as the members of the prodigal band and other ‘missionaries of God.’ Morwenna, now fully human again (ordained by God), becomes employed by Origin since, having lived over 800 years as various humans in various nations, she is fluent in several other languages, thus Origin needs her as a translator and interpreter. Another woman, Rita, is her boss. Both are Christians. Then there is Dumlat, head of Origin and creator of various gaming and other applications since childhood years, and is from a very powerful ‘elite’ family. In the snippet below, Dumlat appears to consider Morwenna a key and valuable employee, not realizing Morwenna’s employment ‘mission’ was to infiltrate the company to find out what they were up to. Below is Part One of the snippet that deals with ‘the Plan’ Dumlat and his evil ‘elite’ cohorts have devised to enslave humanity into what I might call their ‘beast system.’

 

Origin Company, near Richmont, October, 2025

 

“Your resume’ speaks perfect for the job you will be assigned to here at Origin, Morwenna.”

Rita, assistant supervisor for Origin’s Human Resources Department, smiled from her desk as she told Morwenna her job as language interpreter within the same Human Resources Department was assured.

“Thank you. My knowledge of twelve foreign languages comes from my having lived all over the world my entire life.”

 

True, for while her time as a human instead of a ‘spirit being’ lasted over 800 years, Morwenna lived in France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Greece, Turkey (the Ottoman Empire days), Russia (during the time of Catherine the Great), China, India, and Arabia, besides Britain and America.

 

As for her resume’, it was ‘drawn up’ by the Tooters, who also placed her within walking distance of Origin hours before the job interview. Origin was ten miles north of Richmont, California, USA.

 

Rita continued. “And I love the fact that both your Digital Technology and your Foreign Language degrees are from Oxford University. I spent a summer there, taking two courses in foreign language—Arabic and Hebrew.”

“Hebrew, eh?” Morwenna burst out loud. “I really wanted to learn that ancient language.”

Eyes open wide. “Bible studies?” Rita followed with her own burst.

“True, which was a reason I also learned Greek.”

For the Old Testament was originally in Hebrew while the New Testament was originally in Greek.

Rita screwed her eyes on Morwenna. “Are you Christian?”

“Yes.”

Smile. “Well, so am I, Morwenna, and likely we may be the only Origin employees who are Christian. Most here are secular. The owner, Dumlat, has no religion, either.”

Morwenna cocked her head. “Will I meet Mr. Dumlat?”

Smile. “Yes, shortly, as he will introduce himself to all new employees later this afternoon in the conference chamber down the hall from here. You are one of twenty new employees, and you need to learn more about Origin.”

“Yes.”

Rita stood up behind her desk. “We here at Origin are setting ourselves up to become THE origin of audio and visual artificial intelligence software and applications in a world where more and more humans are becoming dependent on technological artificial intelligence communication and computer-generated images and graphics. Dumlat has been producing computer-generated images and videos since the age of ten, and he and I have worked together on building this company since our teen years, beginning when we both attended Stanford University and then Cal Tech.”

Morwenna stood up. “Then you are both about the same age.”

“Dumlat is thirty and I am twenty-nine.”

“Are you both from this area?”

Laugh. “I am from Richmont, but he is from Texas—where, by the way, Origin plans to relocate to sometime next year. Less bureaucratic mumbo-jumbo in Texas.

 

It would be when Origin moved to Austin, the state capital, that Morwenna would resign from the company.

 

Later, as Dumlat spoke of Origin to the New Employees

 

“You all here have joined us here at Origin to partake in a mission I am sure you have all wanted to participate in—the mission being to see all of humanity in a state of happiness and ultimate satisfaction. For we are here to help humanity live fulfilled, happy lives as we provide the tools all humans can use to bring about their happiness as they participate in creating their happy and satisfied living world. No matter what state of being a person lives in at the time, we must provide the tools for all persons to create for themselves their happy world. We will provide for each individual person the tools they will need for a happy and satisfied existence, tools that being part of a social group of fellow humans cannot provide. For the person, not the social group, will choose the happiness the person seeks.

“And what are these tools? Applications that the person chooses to create the world the person chooses—images that create the reality the person seeks, amplified by sounds the chosen applications create to enhance the images. Further, social groups of individuals working together can accomplish the same ideal for their group, for their happiness.”

And on and on, until Dumlat ended his presentation thusly—

 

“Therefore, fellow new employees here at Origin, you are partaking in making all human individuals and social groups live in the world they choose to create for themselves using Origin applications you will help design and build—for a happier world, for a happier humanity.”

 

Then the thirty-year-old man dressed in a cotton-with-leather suit and leather shoes, fair-skinned with straight-dark-brown hair to the back of his neck along with facial mustache, standing at about six feet tall, greeted each new employee.

He smiled as he approached Morwenna, and then said to her, “Welcome, Morwenna—”

“You know my name?”

“Indeed. You will be a very key employee, knowing several languages. After all, my dear, our apps will be applied world-wide, and, of course, in several different languages. You, my dear, are totally essential in our mission.”

Morwenna, wanting to appear to be enraptured in Dumlat’s so-called mission, bowed her head, then said, “And I will help bring about the mission.” Father God’s mission, that is, to counter your devilish mission, that is!

Coming soon, I hope, will be Part Two, which is pretty much the rest of Chapter Two of The Prodigal Band Aftermath, where Dumlat holds a secret meeting with his cohorts and key shareholders to work out ‘the Plan.’

The Prodigal Band’s ‘Missions of God’: Snippets On How the Prodigal Band Carries Them Out (Part Two): Guitarist-Band Leader Jack’s Mission

Next up is guitarist-band leader Jack’s mission, which was given to him during singer Erik’s final singing note to end the performance of a prophetic song at a local music festival, given to him by God’s angels, the Tooters. The message to him, stated in the snippet below, was given to him for two reasons. One, he was the leader of the band, having also been the leader of the street gang four of the band members originally hailed from. Two, he was the only band member who had ever actually read God’s Word, the Holy Bible. Never mind that his father, who followed an evil fake “Christian” cult, beat him over the head with it! So that, while he had read parts of the Bible, having been abused with it, Jack was still reluctant to lead band members into studying it, as stated below. Thus, this mission wasn’t exactly an easy one! Yet while abuse from his father using the Bible caused Jack to hate Christianity, he never thought Christ Himself favored this abuse, which is why the Tooter giving him the mission message could count on Jack doing the mission, stated in the angel’s final sentence about ‘guidance.’

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 Two: the Nineties, Being Hit With the Truth on Evil Agendas)

Last week, I stated Part Two of this Physical Reality series would deal with who or what controls this world for evil purposes and how my novels play into that. That implies that slowly, but surely, I was being ‘red pilled’ so-to-speak in learning through research and various alternative media of the day (mostly alt radio and magazines/newspapers) just who or what was promoting and bringing about the more obvious evil that seemed to be ruling the world, and it really began in the 1990s. Ruby Ridge, and Waco, as well as President George HW Bush giving a speech about the coming of ‘the new world order.’ Bush signing into law that all babies born in hospitals MUST receive a Social Security Number at birth—which was a major reason we had our daughter at home: WE, not the government, will decide when she gets a SSN! And then the Clintons… Bill Clinton in some presidential campaign speech made the most ridiculous statement I had ever heard in an election campaign and caused me to decide no way was I voting for him: he said, “I smoked marijuana but didn’t inhale.” What a grandiose LIE! If you smoke a joint or a blunt or from a pipe or hash pipe it is a foregone conclusion that you inhaled, period! Same with cigarettes…smoke-inhale. And why would he even state he smoked an illegal substance to begin with? It was during the Clinton Presidency that the so-called ‘patriot movement’ or ‘militia movement’ came about with magazine or alt-newspaper posts or radio posts exposing who controls banking (such as the Rothschilds, who my character Baron Torquay-Lambourgeau is based on), what controls governments (intel agencies, military-industrial-complex, the UN and more, secret societies–Bilderbergers, Trilateral Commission, Club of Rome, so-called ‘Illuminati,’ and more) and various occultic spin-offs (such as upper-level Freemasonry…a friend of mine was lower-level but he spoke truth about the upper levels, plus he worked for the DEA and exposed their drug-running ops as well after he retired…and various satanic groups, including one started by Aleister Crowley, but I’ll get more into his satanic crap in Part Three, and the Lucis Trust among others…Lucis meaning Lucifer).

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.

Why All of My Novels Contain Spirit-Being Characters, Fictitious or Not

Allow me to sum up the answer to this ‘why’ question in one simple sentence: My novels contain ‘spirit-beings,’ whether angels or demons or other spirit-beings, because the theme of ‘Good vs. Evil’ is paramount in my novels. That is, ‘the Creator’ (aka God) and His angels and a part-human/part spirit being battling against the satanic character Corion and his demons (and those evil human characters that allow the evil to control them for power and money and control over Earth) for the souls of my prodigal band characters, their women, and more.

If one is going to write a novel based on ‘good vs. evil,’ spirit-beings (in my opinion) must be included. The beings in question likely depend on the religion themed in the novel. Any Christian-oriented novel likely contains at least a mention of and various Bible quotes by Christ, while some (The Shack for instance) contain various angelic characters.

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.

Excerpts from The Murder Rule, Part One, Chapter One

I have completed my new novel, The Murder Rule, to be published by OmegaBooks likely in either September or October, 2023, and to be copyrighted by myself, Deborah Lagarde, and to be registered at the Library of Congress soon. The genres it will be registered under will be Adult Fiction, Drama, Suspense, Spiritual, and perhaps one other. Unless I change my mind and decide to sell it through an online platform (such as Amazon), The Murder Rule will be posted as a FREE PDF download at this site, as with The Prodigal Band, which has well over one thousand downloads since stats have been recorded starting in 2019.

During this month, August, 2023, I will be posting excerpts (© Deborah Lagarde) from Chapter One of each of the three parts to The Murder Rule. In subsequent months I might post excerpts from other chapters from Parts One, Two and Three. With the excerpts will come necessary details regarding these excerpts and how these excerpts play into the parts as a whole or stem from the three novels that make up The Prodigal Band Trilogy of which The Murder Rule is a “spin-off” novel. However, I will not post entire chapters–they can be read by downloading the entire FREE PDF of The Murder Rule, if one so chooses.

The first excerpt begins Chapter One and features Part One’s victim, rocker Denny Spradlin of the fictional band Wolfin, a ‘friend’ and ‘advisor’ that is visiting him, and the Part One narrator, pop-culture pundit Lloyd Denholm, who writes for X-Zine, a magazine edited by an editing team known as ‘Cal.Edit.’ All of the characters in this chapter (and most in Part One) are British, including the writer of the mentioned ‘hand-written letter.’

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…
