Snippet Post from Chapter Five of The Prodigal Band Aftermath: Dumlat Encounters the Epitome of Evil That Will Guide Him

The following fairly short snippet post that begins Chapter Five of The Prodigal Band Aftermath introduces a truly evil, satanically possessed man, a political and economic leader of a fictional newly created nation in southern Eurasia west of ‘the stans’ of central Asia, east of the Balkans and north of the Arab nations of the middle east, a nation called Joraznia.

Note: the name Joraznia is derived from three nations close to Turkey (now spelled Turkiye for some reason): Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, whereby sections of these nations come together (in fiction) to form a new nation. Why these nations? Because back in the pre-feudal period, these areas were controlled by several Turkic tribes that history seems to ignore but were finally conquered from 700 to 1,200 AD by the Orthodox Christian Byzantines, Mongols, Russians, Muslims under the Ottomans, and, in the case of Khazaria, Jews. In other words, all the main world religions we see in that area today played a role in forming those three Turkic nations.

Further, much happening in the world today is happening in this area, whether religious or otherwise, yet the media seems to ignore this area and focus on “more important” events. But that this region garners so little headlines is one reason I chose this area for the purposes of shining light on a truly evil being that is not Christian, Muslim or Jewish, yet guides the corruption of the three religions under the guidance of ‘the devil.’ Because no one recognizes this being, he is perfect for the devil’s use to control the world, under the ruse of a ‘new world order’-type secret society, the true (non-spiritual) rulers of the world. Of course, these folks are not fully human, as with Dumlat and his ilk. The name of the evil character in the snippet post is Gen.

Enter Gen of Joraznia

“Thank you, Levitt Franks—”

“Call me Dumlat.”

“Dumlat, then. And you can call me Gen. That is my entire name. Gen.”

“From Joraznia.”

“Yes. Of course. that section of Joraznia I am originally from was once part of Azeria. And thank you for helping to fund the formation of Joraznia. Us Joraznians needed our own nation.”

They shook hands.

Gen was tall, thin, with brown hair and of middle age, about ten years older than Dumlat, and, as with Dumlat, claimed to have no religion.

But both had religion—the most evil kind, and practiced satanic rituals. While Dumlat was a member of the Hellyon Inner Circle and a Novordo, Gen was a leader of a secret society even more evil than the Hellyons and Novordos, a society called Lucosiris, named for the devil Lucifer and a similar false god, Osiris, called Satan by many. And, while most of the so-called “conspiracy theorists” had heard of both the Hellyons and the Novordo Club, only a very select few knew anything about Lucosiris, whose sacrificial site was based in the new nation of Joraznia, in its capital city, Bulat.

“And not just your funding helped us to create Joraznia, Dumlat. My cousin, the president of Joraznia whose name is Bule, and also myself, who owns about twenty percent of Joraznia’s land and who owns three-fourths of Joraznia’s media and who owns two of the three armaments companies within the entire region that Joraznia was created from—”

“And all of the personnel that makes up these militaries—”

“Yes. All of the high-up military personnel in several nations are controlled by myself. And, along with my cousin, I control nearly all the politicians in Joraznia and several in the surrounding nations as well. And I mean that.”

After a bit mor discussion, Dumlat concluded the conversation. “In other words, if these military and governmental personnel go against your agenda, you and Bule take care of them, so to speak.”

“They wouldn’t dare go against us! We literally own them. And in truth, Dumlat, I personally and literally own all of the world’s leaders. Including all of the members of the Hellyons and Novordos as well.”

Dumlat froze in shock. With fearful eyes.

“Yes, Dumlat. Even Hellyons and Novordos are too scared of me and us Lucosiris leaders to supplant us as the rulers of this world.” Laugh.

Still in shock, Dumlat asked, “And how much are you financially worth?”

Wicked smile. “Oh, about seven trillion dollars.”

Dumlat bowed his head.

“Combined, all of us Lucosiris members are worth approximately seventy trillion dollars, or about three fourths of the world’s wealth.”

“And I thought I was filthy rich!”

Gen put his hands on Dumlat’s shoulders. “And you can join us, Dumlat. Be one of us Lucosiris overlords. Let me fund to you whatever you need to completely control the digital artificial intelligence online world. So that no other company will ever be able to replace Origin digitally in any way, shape, or form.”

Dumlat smiled with wide open eyes, no longer in any fear whatsoever. “So that you, Gen, and I, will rule the world?”

“Yes. You and I and our fellow Lucosirises. And whoever tries to challenge us will never see the light of day.”

Then Gen’s eyes turned to fire. And you and I and our fellows will heartily consume their blood and feast on their flesh. And Lucifer on their souls. Gen’s mouth watered at the thought. And, if you turn against us, Dumlat, we will feast on you!

Under another name and in possession of a fake birth certificate claiming he did not possess the A2S genome, Selwynu was also a member of the Lucosiris Club. Gen knew him as Coriowyn—which sounded like Corion.

Selwynu joined the Lucosiris Club for one reason and only one reason—infiltration. Part of The Creator’s Plan, and there was nothing the forces of evil could do about it!

The next post will be posted in a couple of weeks, and will feature more about Selwynu, who will aid Morwenna, Joe, Agent P, Swinton, and narrator Lloyd in exposing and resisting Gen, Dumlat, and their Luciferian crew.

Summation of Dumlat’s Evil Plot to Control Humanity: Meeting of ‘the Good Guys’ Who Will Expose This Evil

Part of Chapter Four of The Prodigal Band Aftermath has Morwenna meeting Joe “Ramsey” Phillips, Agent P, Swinton and Lloyd at Lloyd’s apartment in Richmont to explain to them the agenda Origin owner Dumlat will try to force on humanity to completely control humanity within a beast-type system, using artificial intelligence or otherwise. In an earlier segment of Chapter Four Swinton met with former prodigal band roadie Bobby in order to get proof regarding parts of the plot as well as the plot to murder the prodigal band, confessed by the pilot of the downed jet on the way to a concert event in Belfast as told in Chapter One.

Morwenna tells Joe and the rest of us what Dumlat said at that Shareholder meeting she witnessed, invisible. She quoted Dumlat’s exact words.

“Our new Origin Operating System will definitely replace all, and I mean all, previous computer and digital operating systems. Since we control the updating and upgrading of these old systems, we will simply announce that these old systems will not only no longer be updated or upgraded, but will be made null and void by the end of this year. In other words, we will use our artificial intelligence bots to crash these old operating systems such that every computer and digital device will have to use our Origin operating system. And this is just the first step.

“After the older devices download our operating system, or are set-up in new devices that contain Origin on purchase, users will be forced to only download the applications, or apps, we create. And all, and I mean all, of our applications, from writing to audio to video to music to…well, everything…will utilize artificial intelligence, AI, first and foremost, and there will be no way around this. AI will become supreme, for only AI can bring about the happiness humanity will seek. AI will create their happy world. AI friends. AI surroundings. AI creations for their happiness. What they once considered reality will disappear. The natural world will become the AI world that they create. As they create their world, they will become like gods. They will forget about the God that created all-natural creation!

“Then when a shareholder questioned whether Dumlat’s so-called plan would work, Dumlat replied with a haughty laugh and claimed since it was not real but artificial, it had to work according to plan.”

Morwenna then summed up Dumlat’s final statement. “He finished by saying this: Artificial, but will make the creator happy! And wouldn’t happiness bring about compliance? And isn’t that our goal? Our control over a compliant humanity?”

“So that, as they say here in America, is that. The plan, the goal, is complete control over all of humanity. A compliant humanity.”

Agent P then shouted, “They wish!”

Joe then spouted what all of us were thinking. “ ‘They wish’ is right! For one thing, that bogus ‘plague’ of theirs only worked for a short time, and only on folks who constantly live in fear of repression if they don’t toe the line or believe that compliance will reward them with a few scraps.”

Swinton added, “Yeah, scraps from the political or medical or media table. They may lose their conscience, but they’ll never lose their scraps!”

I then chimed in. “Exactly. Media scraps? Not for me, lads and lassie! That’s why I left CounterCulture for X-Zine. I need to report the truth, not lie for scraps!”

Because I knew one thing that Dumlat and his ilk would never admit to themselves or anyone else—more and more people, worldwide, after realizing they were screwed by ‘the elites’ over the bogus plague, and especially the majority of the youth for sure, would not consider ‘compliance’ to their evil plan. That’s another reason the forces of evil murdered Sound Unltd—the Super Six exposed the various evil plots along with completing their missions of God, and, as the Marauders’ ‘Prophesied Band’ song said, ‘the young will follow them,’ for they were the Prophesied Band.

As to the documents Mick mailed to Bobby about Dumlat’s and Origin’s agenda—

“What is in these documents,” Swinton told the others, “is basically a summary of what Morwenna heard at the Shareholder meeting. Forcing anyone using a computer or even a smart phone to use the Origin operating system that will replace all the other systems, worldwide. Honestly, I do not see how Origin has the power to force all computer operating systems in use now to suddenly stop working. To force all various applications in use now to stop working—”

“Dumlat and his cronies would have to completely crash the systems now in place,” Agent P replied. “That seems like an impossible job, but know that, according to my intel sources, worldwide, this is precisely what virtually every Big Tech oligarch envisions, with all of them investors in Origin. My sources, many in the tech industry as infiltrators, know that the operating systems now in use are, especially regarding AI apps that are inferior to what Dumlat is developing, are not up to speed so-to-speak. Complaints are rampant regarding the various AI apps in use now. Complaints all over social media, and the tech oligarchs know this. For instance, AI apps for a particular operating system do not work so well on competing operating systems, or on competing online browsers, which upsets users who want to use a particular AI app, but feel forced to use an inferior AI app for their computer operating system.”

Joe then cut in. “So, what you are implying is that a large number of online users want a unified operating system that will utilize supposedly superior AI apps folks will definitely want to use because everyone they know or work with is also using the same apps and systems. Conformity. Compliance. Safety.”

Then I cut in. “And not only that, but since AI can be used to fake just about anything one’s heart desires, they’ll want the best system of fakery money can buy. And since everyone will be using it—except for non-conformists, who will be bullied into using it—and the bullies will reap, as I said before, the ‘scraps’ that will make them happy!”

Agreement.

Morwenna concluded with this wisdom. “Which will, of course, set the people of the world, and I mean OF the world, on course to bow down to the beast of Revelation 13. And accept his, as they say, ‘mark.’

The next post will be from Chapter Five, where Dumlat meets with a person who will entice Dumlat into even worse evil. That snippet will be posted in late June, hopefully.

More About The Prodigal Band Aftermath: Dumlat Bloodline Investigation, the Why (Part One)

The beginning of Chapter Three of The Prodigal Band Aftermath, with the opening chapter snippet below, concerns the genetic makeup, both DNA and genome features, of two “elite” bloodlines featured in The Prodigal Band Trilogy or the spin-off novel The Prodigal Band Aftermath. The “elite” bloodline in the snippet below belongs to the family of Joe Phillips, aka “Agent R,” who (in Part Three of the spin-off novel The Murder Rule) faked his own death as he realized he was likely to be “murder ruled” by the forces of evil ruling over the world, and created the fake name “Joe Ramsey.” In Chapter Sixteen of The Prodigal Band, Phillips, along with ‘the prodigal band’ Sound Unltd, witnessed Phillips’ father Baron Torquay-Lambourgeau repent of his grossly evil deeds and accept Christ as Savior. Baron knew his son Joe had made the same decision a couple of years prior along with the band members, but it was Baron’s butler, Swinton, who had most to do with his wanting repentance. However, Baron’s father, Aston Torquay-Lambourgeau, did not repent and in fact was an epitome of evil with his blood drinking and partaking in Satanic rituals—a modern-day Count Dracula (aka Vlad the Impaler) so-to-speak.

To begin Chapter Three, Swinton, while cleaning the bedroom of Aston as was his job periodically with his main job being the caretaking of the dying Baron in late August, 2003, discovered by accident the genetic records of the evil Aston, and what he found was indeed shocking: Aston, and, as Swinton suspected, evil members of various aristocratic bloodlines, was missing a certain gene that nearly all humans possessed. Lacking this gene, Swinton surmised, could have been the reason Aston Torquay-Lambourgeau was the epitome of evil and demonically possessed. Before I post the snippet about Aston’s corrupted genetics, I need to mention why, when it seemed as though the AI and digital takeover that Dumlat was orchestrating using his company Origin was going to be the main plot that would bring about a near-future dystopia, the bloodline genetics meme would be included—the Epstein Files, which is getting alternative media coverage like crazy as it deserves to be covered, considering the incredible evil these files expose…redacted or not. The whole “beef jerky/grape soda/and more” coded messages in the emails make the so-called “PizzaGate” look mild. These files aren’t just about child trafficking and pedophilia. Cannibalism (“beef jerky”) and blood sacrifice (“grape soda”) with the usual Satanic rituals the wide-awake among us know these “elites” partake in has taken over the alt-media headlines and videos. But Epstein, along with eugenicist Bill Gates and others, transhumanist or not, has also partaken in funding and aiding genetic DNA and genome corruption, as stated in this video at http://fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/report-epstein-ties-with-nsa-revealed/340282. Genetic manipulation, which reminds me of a certain Gospel of Matthew Chapter 24 verse quote by Christ Himself relating to the so-called “end times,” what Christ called “the days of Noah.” Genesis Chapter Six begins with the notion of fallen angels (the sons of God) mating with the daughters of men, producing “giants” also referred to as Nephilim, that is, hybrid humans, not fully human. Because God’s creation (humans as well as animals) was corrupted to the point where only Noah was “perfect in his generation,” God would send the Flood to wipe out the corruption and told Noah to build the ark to save what could be saved, uncorrupted. But the verse referring to the fallen angels mating with mankind also states, “and also after that.” In other words, even after the Flood, mankind’s God-given genetics would be corrupted. Examples: Goliath, Amorite King Og of Bashon, Nimrod, the son of Cush, the son of Ham…who had another son, Canaan, whom God cursed…were some of the sons of Ham genetically corrupted…by Ham’s wife, maybe? Or the wives of these sons? Hmmmmmmmmm….. I cannot answer this, but it could be a possibility. Also as to the Canaanites: in the Book of Joshua, several of Joshua’s men investigating Jericho within Canaan discovered what they called Rephaim (also called by some scholars Ananuki, which were considered aliens, or more likely more fallen angels) who were also giants.

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.’

Finally, I Am Starting My New (and Maybe Last) Novel! Been Busy This Last Few Weeks…

I finally started creating my new–and final–novel which (so far) will be called The Prodigal Band Aftermath. It will feature the ending scenario for the prodigal band Sound Unltd which harkens back to when their jet was “bombed” in 2001 but failed to do any serious damage to the band, pilots or jet. Thus begins the novel, which, as with The Prodigal Band, is narrated by pop culture pundit Lloyd Denholm. The finality of The Murder Rule also plays into this final novel (also narrated by Lloyd Denholm).

Thus, the “prodigal band” reaches its end, and Denholm suspects why it reaches its end, which he explains, backed by what manager Joe Phillips–who faked his own death in Part Three of The Murder Rule and assumes a new identity as a “commoner person” who still has connections to the “elites” who had thought they controlled the “Super Six” for many years, and know why the act with their jet happened–in 2025, not the same year The Murder Rule ended, 2024.

To end this post, I will state that a key character from the Prodigal Band Trilogy, the spirit being Morwenna, reappears in this novel–her being sent back to the world from heaven by those Tooters angels was necessary to complete the novel. Only this time, she will guide Lloyd, Joe, and the rest of the “good guys” against the evil that takes place in the latter 2020s…the “end times” maybe?

Finally, that control mechanism that Big Tech invented to trick folks into thinking the world was becoming a better place, Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a prominent role in this novel…fake images, fake “messiah,” and other ways to deceive believers on Christ so that they renege on their belief and side with the beast system. Strong delusion stuff…

Sorry this post is late, but I have been very busy with activities these past few weeks, including daughter getting married…finally! To a new believer on Christ no less…

A Future Novel? Hmmmmmm….

It has been a few weeks since my last post, but that is because I have not been able to decide what the next post would be—another snippet post, or something completely different?

This will be something different, because over the last couple of weeks (while busy with other stuff), thoughts or inspirations have entered my mind regarding a possible new novel, but related to previous novels (most likely, another spin-off of The Prodigal Band Trilogy, as The Murder Rule is).

After completing the third novel in the trilogy, The Prodigal Band, I considered writing an “aftermath” type novel explaining what happens after the climactic events of this novel—after the band rescues keyboard-synthist Bry’s wife Mo from the evil satanically possessed Mark Besst who was about to impale her, the satan-figure, Corion, captures Besst within the evil red crystal the evil one uses to capture human souls. Further, the good spirit being used by God’s angels, the Tooters, called Morwenna, returns “home” to heaven, her missions having been accomplished, as she lets her employers, singer Erik and his wife, Ger, know via a note she left for them.

But, then what? Is there more to this story? The narrator of this novel, pop culture pundit Lloyd Denholm, surmises at the end of the novel that the prodigal band members, given “missions of God” by the Tooters, will complete their missions and spend eternity in Heaven, being “good and faithful servants.”

Thus, I have been thinking how this “aftermath” plays out. The six band members complete their missions, and pass on at some point, souls in Heaven. However, what is Heaven really like? Is it that “void” I’ve had them in, a white, timeless, soundless, sight-less, void that contains “dots” or “lines” as they move through the void? (Note: refer to Chapter Eleven of The Prodigal Band.) The Bible mentions “streets of gold,” “crystal seas,” and other beauty, but still…what does it look like for sure? What does God look like…after all, the Book of Genesis says God made man in His—actually, “our” image—while the Gospel of John Chapter One says “the Word” (Christ) was with God and was God. Thus “our” image…but still, what do these “images” look like? What does the Judgment Seat (Book of Revelation) look like? What does the “accuser,” Satan, look like…and does he have “devil horns”?

The other possibility is an “aftermath” predicting the “end times” narrated by one of the novel characters, possibly one from The Murder Rule, with a scenario of how the next few years historically and spiritually plays out, for we do seem to be entering what looks to be very dangerous times, wars and rumors of wars, earthquakes in diverse places…for instance, several in my area north of here, possibly due to oil fracking (after all, north of me is the Permian Basin, where the oil producing industry is huge, likely the largest in the US). And all those preachers predicting end-times events (such as the timing of ‘the rapture,’ and more…only God knows, right?).

So that, hopefully soon, I will be inspired, somehow, to begin writing the next novel, for it seems to me that time is getting short.

The Influence That the Prodigal Band’s Women Had in the Repentance of the Prodigal Band, Part Five: More of the Likely Conversion of the Band’s Wives, Continued

As stated in the previous post, Part Four of the influence that the band’s women had in the repentance of the band and accepting Christ as Savior, this post features snippets where synthist Bry’s wife Mo has her say in this influence and also guitarist-producer Mick and drummer Tom discuss this issue. The snippets, also from Chapter Ten of The Prodigal Band, © 2018 Deborah Lagarde, are below.

Meanwhile, walking along Altuna Beach near Jack’s in the moonlight

“Are you still queer, Mick?” Tom asked.

“No.”

The drummer and guitarist planned to leave for their respective homes the next morning.

“We all have a lot of things we need to ask forgiveness for.” Mick stared straight ahead. “Not just me, you know.”

“I know that, but some sins are harder to deal with than others.” Looked at Mick who was still staring ahead. “And mine is thinking I’ve committed fewer sins than the rest of you.”

Pordengreau stopped. “Really, Tom? I think each of our sins are equally bad. That’s because most of our sins were against ourselves.”

“Yeh, but the greatest sin was us thinking we were gods and being idols to millions. I’ve glanced through the Bible from time to time, and the sin God really hated the most was when people worshiped other gods. I mean, whole nations were destroyed because of it.”

“You really, really think even one of our fans actually worshiped us? And even if they did, that’s their problem, not ours.”

“Mick, Mick, Mick, we promoted ourselves as ‘the greatest band ever.’ If that’s not actually promoting ourselves as gods, it’s pretty bloody close. I’d say close enough to incur the wrath of God.”

“What ‘wrath of God’? Don’t you think that would have happened by now?”

“The crisis Mick, remember?”

The other rolled his eyes. “For bloody sake, we got through that one, eh, without death and destruction. In fact,” Mick got in Tom’s face, “why would God give us a mission if he thought we were some kind of abomination?”

Tom thought a minute.

“I think we were close to becoming something close to the worst thing, but because through all the ‘greatest band ever’ shit, we kept our perspective. Every time it looked like we’d act like gods, we did something to screw that up. At the height of our fame and fortune, we went into seclusion and then everything went to hell.”

“Yeh, Tom,” Mick sighed, “but we still have a lot to answer for.”

Then Tom stopped though Mick walked straight ahead. “Yeh, but I have a question that needs answering now.”

Yet Mick, though hearing him, kept on walking, not wanting to hear it.

“And that question is,” Tom went on, “are we really doing this mission or are we just gonna go through the motions?”

No answer.

The following morning, at the McClellan ranch house, Texas

Mo McClellan strolled out of the ranch house to meet Bry, who was exiting the SUV he’d driven home from the airport.

“How was it?”

He slammed the door. “It sucked, actually. But we did get the song.” Sarcastic grunt.

Wonderful, she thought as he briskly passed her by. Followed him into the house where she saw him thrash the overnight bag onto the leather couch halfway across the thousand-square-foot living room, nearly knocking over a spittoon.

“Guess what, Mo?” he yelled out in disgust. “Now we’re gonna have to be Jesus freaks.” Another grunt. “Let’s see now,” knocking over furniture, bounding to the bag that he was preparing to toss into the nearest hallway, “we’ve gone from totally irreligious to pagan religion to heretics to ‘unless we accept Christ as our Savior we have no business doing this song that we have to do because some stupid statue gave us a mission of God and some stupid witch told us to do the song as part of the mission.”

“Bry—” Mo tried to calm him.

“And the rest of the band is in denial. They’re all thinking of ways to get on with this mission without having to become Christian. They,” turning to face Mo, “they really think that it’s okay to do a song that just might convert a few million fans to Christianity, and not do it themselves. Do you know what that makes us?”

Mo answered, half in jest, “Hypocrites?”

“Right.” Bry then stomped over to another couch and flung himself on it. “I mean, the whole trip sucked. We were hiking up this trail to Bobby’s, and the first thing you know Erik collapses from exhaustion. What a weakling! So Bobby has to bring him up in a four-wheeler—well, actually, he brought us all up!” Laughs. “There we are, six of the richest guys on the planet, and none of us in shape. None of us is healthy enough to make a one mile hike at an altitude of about six thousand feet. We might as well be Chinese Empress Dowagers being hauled around in a litter all day!” Another loud laugh as he threw his arms out to her. “We are such bloody fat cats, eh?”

She sat down opposite him, holding back a laugh of irony.

“So we get to his place, dying of thirst, and he tells us a witch—oh, and, by the way, that witch is now working for Ger.”

”Morwenna? A witch?” Mo was more shocked than surprised.

“Right. Morwenna. She told him to get his song to us any way he could do it, and that we have to perform this song as part of our so-called mission, which we agreed to do. Erik—who may have had a slight heart attack on the hike yesterday for bloody sake—says he really wants to do it, but he for one doesn’t sound like he’s converting to Christianity any time soon. And neither is anyone else in the band. I don’t want to, either, but at least I don’t think we can get by not doing it.”

All Mo could say was, “Then you do have a problem, eh?”

“Yeh,” he smirked, then went upstairs to the master bedroom, thinking. It’s gonna take an act of God to get us to believe.

The next post is undecided, and when it will be posted is also undecided, but I hope I have something to post before Easter, aka Resurrection Day, April 20.

The Importance of Using Fiction to Tell the Truth and Expose Evil

This post will likely be the only December post, for the Christmas holidays are coming and I will be away from computer for most of these days and afterwards as well.

I have written and posted four articles over the last few years related to using fiction to tell the truth and expose evil, as using fiction will less likely bring about the kind of censorship and level of censorship that is rife these days. While using non-fiction seems to make more sense for empowering the truth about what is happening in the world today, the doers of this evil rife in the world today, the deceivers, the scoundrels, and the ‘woke’ crowd that gaslight, bully, and turn against the truth-tellers, will do whatever is necessary to stop the truth-tellers that use non-fiction. It is likely harder for these evil doers to prevent fiction writers from exposing evil while telling the truth because, after all, it’s “fiction,” right? But here’s the thing—truth is NOT FICTION! Even if the truth is within fiction!

The Prodigal Band’s ‘Missions of God’: Snippets On How the Prodigal Band Carries Them Out (Part Six): Keyboard-Synthist Bryan’s Mission (Part A)

The final parts of this series on the band’s given missions of God concern the keyboard-synthist Bryan, also called Bry, who is also well connected with bikers, which mostly make up the band’s roadies. Bear in mind that his parents, also musicians, were hard-core atheists and obsessed with Darwinian evolution theory.

Here is an irony—the first biker Bryan had ever met was Christian!

The snippet below, from Chapter Twelve of The Prodigal Band (© 2018 Deborah Lagarde), explains part of why Bry considered accepting Christ, as he tells the rest of the band and manager Joe Phillips, in his ‘revelation.’ After telling then that a Christian summer camp worker convinced him Darwinian evolution was bogus, he then brings up this Christian biker he’d met at a previous local Walltown music festival in 1981.

The Prodigal Band’s ‘Missions of God’: Snippets On How the Prodigal Band Carries Them Out (Part Five): Bassist Keith’s Mission

Next up is the mission of prodigal band bassist Keith, who, unlike drummer Tom, as well as guitarist Jack and, to a lesser extent, singer Erik, never experienced a day of poverty in his life. Not only did he grow up in a solidly middle-class family, but his kin folks were well known to be heavily involved in the music field. His grandfather was an orchestra conductor, classical music composer, and orchestra bassist and viola musician as well. His father played in a somewhat successful early rock band on electric bass. Both taught Keith on acoustic and electric bass at an early age; he was a child prodigy on bass, and bass was his thing, though he also did backing vocals.

But his other passion was being a local gang member who would also be a leader of sorts. That was why Keith was given the mission of God that he was given, aided by the fact that he was part-Afro on his mother’s side. After all, many street gangs then and now have black members. From Chapter Ten of The Prophesied Band (© 1998 Deborah Lagarde) is the mission given by one of God’s angels, the Tooters, during the final singing note at the local music festival in 2000:

Keith only stood in wonder and listened as Tooter Two spoke to him.

“As always, Keith Mullock, you will listen to and do what your leader Jack says. He will instruct you in His Word. And this is what you will do with it, for you are a true son of the working-classes and gang youth brother. You will use His Inspired Word to bring the blue-collar youth and the youth of the streets into His fold so that the discouraged, the disaffected, and the gang youth of violence will turn their energies into serving their Creator and His Son before it’s too late. And in this way, worker’s son of The Code, you can fulfill your promise to live by it.”
