Nesara & Gesara: Rumor or Real?

NESARA (National Economic Security and Reformation Act) and GESARA (Global Economic Security and Reformation Act) are two interconnected conspiracy theories that have gained significant traction in recent years. These theories often involve promises of debt forgiveness, increased income, and a new, more just world order. According to the anti defamation league, NESARA/GESARA refers to a conspiracy theory, promoted by Shaini Goodwin (also known as the "Dove of Oneness"), that all debts will be wiped out in a radical reset of the U.S. economy. It is a reference to the National Economic Security and Recovery Act (NESARA), a set of U.S. economic reforms proposed in the 1990s, which included abolishing compound interest on loans, replacing income tax with a national sales tax and returning U.S. currency to the gold standard. While the proposals were never actually introduced before Congress, conspiracy theorists like Goodwin claim that they were secretly passed by Congress and then suppressed by George W. Bush in the wake of the 9/11 attacks.

Waaju - Featuring Majid Bekkas - Alouane - Gnawa meets jazz on this live recording from BBE

Brainchild of Waaju bandleader Ben Brown, this unique collaborative record features Brown’s expansive arrangements of traditional Gnawa songs, bringing Bekkas’ incredible musical force into the soundscape of potent grooves and trippy delays that Waaju has become known for. Bekkas, who’s previous collaborators include Pharoah Sanders, Archie Shepp and Peter Brotzmann, is considered one of the foremost figures in Moroccan Gnawa music today and has been key in the music’s revival over the last decade. He’s also never before collaborated with a UK band which, at the time of recording, was his first visit to the UK. On ‘Alouane’, Bekkas is welcomed effortlessly into Waaju’s simmering chemistry, which can be heard most vividly on their previous studio albums ‘Grown’ in 2020 and a self-titled debut in 2018. Waaju’s members have remained deeply connected throughout the ensemble’s eight year history amidst working in the bands of Mulatu Astatke, Alfa Mist, Loyle Carner, Jordan Rakei, José James, Ashley Henry, Nubiyan Twist and others, and their music has commanded global listenership and has been championed by the likes of Gilles Peterson, Jazz FM, Jungle & Jordan Rakei. ‘Alouane’ translates as ‘Colours’ in Arabic and speaks of the seven colours which are integral to Gnawa music. Each colour represents and invokes a different spirit and most Gnawa songs are within one of these seven colours. It is said that each person has a connection with one of these colours, whether they are aware of it or not which, at times, can result in intense, involuntary bodily reactions upon hearing a certain Gnawa song. Recorded largely at a packed Church of Sound in London, the room’s energy surges to peaks of extreme uplift with uncontrolled audience hollers like on “Bania”, balanced with others of delicate introspection like on “Lando”. ‘Alouane’ presents a record light on its feet with harmonic nuance and dynamic sensibility, and acts as a powerful contribution to the Gnawa fusion genre.

Watch the attitude, darling, I can leave again in a heartbeat.

Hmm, I would say I’m very dom-leaning, but I can be topped by a partner if I find them to be dominant enough as well (I fear I’ve articulated that quite poorly in my tipsy stupor so will try to elaborate)…if I were with a cute, submissive little bottom, I can very happily top them indefinitely without ANY desire for them to be more dominant or to top me. However, if I were with a sexual partner for a longer period of time and they could/wanted to exude that dominance, then I can submit. Occasionally. I’d say it’s about 90/10 and never, ever for a one-off occasion. Does that help clarify your adorable little list? Nearly as adorable as you waiting to hear from me all day.

As for my favourite song, it’s quite tricky. I’m afraid it doesn’t align much with your own taste, honey, so just bear that caveat in mind (with the exception of Talking Heads). I am very fond of classical music, my favourite piece being Chopin’s Nocturne No. 8 in D Flat. Having said that, I do also like modern music, especially with a jazz/soul undertone. Joy Crookes - Mother May I Sleep with Danger is an excellent song, James Blake, Loyle Carner, Tom Misch. And then I’m also partial to some 80s artists like Talking Heads, Pulp, David Bowie. You’ve been quite spoilt for information there, so I very much hope you remember your manners.

-🫖

Sorry I can't help but through a little attitude your way 😊 The Brit... tipsy? Two replies in one night? I'm actually kinda laughing at the fact you're tipsy? I bet you would be so off your game drunk. That wall is crumbling!

That is even better than what's on the list, and I will be updating it. Thank you for your participation! Now, with that new information, top or not, I will need to hear you beg at some point since it is possible.

Ahhh, so you think I'm adorable? See? Walls crumbling all around, how does it feel 😊

Take a step back, my little Brit cause who says I don't like classical and jazz? You're looking at a fine trumpet player! Jazz & Orchestra in high school and college thank youuu very much. (Yes marching too everyone ignore this, include you teapot) I also happen to LOVE 80s music! So maybe our tastes are similar after all.

You have spoiled me tonight, and I thank you so, so much for that! 😚 But you have to come back so I can tell you what I think about the song and artists you said you like, because I will be listening to them.

Oh honey, you are wildly mistaken if you think that I’m off my game drunk, I’m typically just even more daring and forward than usual.

You’re most welcome, but good luck getting me to beg, darling, you may be in for a long wait.

And why does my thinking you’re adorable indicate ‘walls crumbling’? It’s hardly my fault that your little rambles about your runs and alligators are so cute (although we seriously need to address your route if it brings you within that proximity to them).

A fine trumpet player, hmm? That’s truly very cool indeed, I’m forever impressed by musicians.

Good girl for remembering your manners, and I very much look forward to hearing your thoughts.

-🫖

More daring and forward? Ahh I guess that's the reason I got not 1 but 2 asks last night!

I happen to be a very patient person 😊 I'm in this for the long haul, my little Brit. Gotta see it through

😳 You're watching my rambles, huh (and you think they're cute oooo). What is there to address about my route? Are you worried teapot?

Definitely not freaking out about you thinking it's cool or that you're impressed. Totally normal about the use of good girl. (Can y'all leave me alone? I said I'm fine.) Yeah, I'm so calm and normal right now 😊

As for my thoughts! I love classical, so of course the Chopin piece was beautiful. The Joy Crookes song was very nice, I enjoyed it!

I realized after looking it up that James Blake is in some of my favorite songs? I had no clue! I looove Hummingbird by him and Metro Boomin, also Kings Dead! I'll be checking more of him out soon

You saying Loyle Carner was so unexpected! I've already added a few songs to my playlists. Do you listen to Stormzy?

I liked the vibe of Tom Misch, especially the song Movie! Pulp I've heard before, the song Common People. Definitely liked them, too!

I have to say, you have great taste in music. Can't wait to hear from you again 😊

the bench [out now].

‘The Bench’ is a song about two of my friends. I’d like to think that many hopefully experience friendship like we did; it’s not just friendship but a brotherhood, a true kinship. Possibly the last friend's home phone numbers i’ll ever remember, probably the last time i’ll truly know a friend's parents and the scent of their house, what their gardens look like and feel at home there myself. Though our circle of friends would always fluctuate through the years, especially that one particular summer, when those people came and went, we always remained a three. i am extremely thankful to have met these two magical people at such an early age - we were all just twelve. in a time before mobile phones were in our world, ‘the bench’ was the place in our little village that we’d meet, a quick ten second phone call consisting of ‘meet you at the bench in about 5’ was all we needed. then the streets were ours. we were there. we experienced life with one another. we had almost all our ‘firsts’ together, we got drunk for the first time, experimented with drugs, lost our virginity (not together technically for that one) , learnt to drive, moved out of our family homes and most importantly found our loves. i envy the time their partners get to spend with them and hope its filled with the same joys i had when by their sides. we raised each other, i am me because of them. this is ours. this is the bench.
