										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Introduction</strong></span></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">Are you contemplating over the thought of enjoying a concert instead of this lockdown you’re stuck in? The music industry has got it all covered for you this quarantine!</span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Challenges faced by the Music Industry</strong></span></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">COVID-19 has brought with it some of the biggest obstacles for the industry. With new ways of creatively connecting, the music industry is trying its level best to adapt to this situation.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">Amidst the pandemic proliferation where the entire world is practising social distancing, the Music Industry and Artists are the worst hit.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">There’s nothing more disappointing than our planned gigs being thrown into doubts. It breaks our hearts each time we look back to our Tomorrowland plans not happening anytime soon.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">We may not attend any music festival until 2021 autumn since mass gathering would be an invite to the virus!</span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>No more Live Shows</strong></span></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">The LIVE performance hype is going down this lockdown. Watching your favourite artist perform on stage is at the top of everyone’s bucket list!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">Those earning a livelihood from live shows, technicians, DJs, musicians will be struggling big time with a terrible blow to volunteers who’ve worked hard to make the events happen.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">All live music shows have been cancelled or delayed while festivals, tours &amp; award shows kept on hold till the pandemic leaves and allows us to live with good health and peace all over again.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">Sealed cafes and restaurants would mean no relishing your food along with a piece of live music, consider your dining room and Spotify playlist for the same.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">However, music artists are discovering new ways to engage with their fans.</span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Introduction of Virtual Concerts</strong></span></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">So what if you couldn’t watch your favourite artist perform live, you can surely groove at home while watching their virtual concerts online.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">Every artist around the world is sharing their musical artworks via free live streams and building long-term connections with their audience.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">Many came up with the concept of <strong><em>&#8220;Virtual Concerts&#8221;</em></strong>; it includes giving a concert experience by going live via Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, etc.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">Some of the virtual concerts happening over the quarantine period include <strong><em>&#8220;iHeartLiving&#8221; </em></strong>and <strong><em>&#8220;Together At Home&#8221;</em></strong></span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Live Streaming</strong></span></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">A Live Stream is transferring or receiving a video and audio of an event through the internet.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><em><strong>‘Black Pumas’</strong></em>, an American psychedelic soul-based band in Austin, Texas led by Eric Burton and guitarist Adrian Quesada also partnered with <em><strong>YouTube</strong></em> for a live stream performance.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">Just like the rest of all bands, musicians and singers are collaborating with YouTube or taking an initiative themselves to connect with their fans during the lockdown period.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><a style="color: #000000;" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Hc8qejkkRo"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-4096 size-full" src="https://southerntime.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Black-Pumas-Southern-Time-Band.jpg" alt="Black Pumas - STP" width="700" height="410" /></a></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><em><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Hc8qejkkRo" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Click Here</a></span> to watch the <strong>YouTube Livestream</strong> of <strong>“Black Pumas”</strong> band.</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">There is a tendency to carry forward the lockdown music trend post-COVID-19 until the scenario gets better, until then a home-based concert without a large crowd around you would be a nice idea to cope with it.</span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Monetary Collaborations</strong></span></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">The industry is fighting back with new ways of dealing with monetary losses experienced by the music artists.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">Spotify has launched a <strong><em>COVID-19 music relief</em> </strong>to provide important resources and financial support to artists experiencing income loss.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">To know more about <strong><em>“Spotify’s music relief fund”</em>  </strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://covid19musicrelief.byspotify.com/en-us#description" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Click Here</a></span>!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><a style="color: #000000;" href="https://covid19musicrelief.byspotify.com/en-us#description"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-4098 size-full" src="https://southerntime.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Spotify-music.jpg" alt="Spotify music app" width="908" height="500" /></a></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">A live stream show like ‘one world together at home’ has helped raise more funds for <em><strong>WHO</strong></em> to fight with COVID 19.</span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Popular in Spotify</strong></span></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">While the physical sales and music record stores remain closed, <em><strong>Spotify </strong></em>reported that relaxing genres are the most popular hits during the lockdown anxiety phase for people all around the world to fight with COVID 19.</span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Fan Entertainment</strong></span></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">While people are busy dealing with lockdown, super hit games like <strong><em>“Fortnight” </em></strong>hosted a <em><strong>live rap concert</strong></em> as well to increase the engagement of the audience.</span></p>
<h4 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000000;"><em><strong>Have a look at it! </strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3N4yIDfN-M8" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Click Here</a></span></em></span></h4>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Increase in Radio Streams</strong></span></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">There is a huge increase in the Radio Streams during the lockdown, people have started shifting towards radio music as well, let’s see how it gets treated post COVID19!</span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Release of Albums Delayed</strong></span></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">There has been a delay in the release of many music albums due to a sudden stoppage.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">However, the bands and artists are making efforts to still keep producing music and trying by all means.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><em>For example</em>, <em><strong>‘The Promise’</strong></em>, one of the best Rock Musical Bands in Toronto will be releasing its album <em>‘Lost In Love No More’</em> in July, 2020.</span></p>
<h4 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000000;"><em>To <strong>connect with “<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Southern Time Productions</span>”</strong>, <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://southerntime.ca/">Click Here</a></span></em></span></h4>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Conclusion</strong></span></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">COVID-19 surely has put forward a drastic change in the music industry. The post-pandemic period is expected to be filled with the increased use of technology. With the introduction of live features and virtual concerts, the music artists have surely been successful in staying connected with their audience.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">Therefore, how the music industry has changed post COVID19 explains us with new ways of spreading and sharing music while keeping the fire alive!</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hardly. Humanity will get through <strong>Coronavirus</strong> (COVID-19); we are a resilient species and have survived many plagues in the past. The virus is already being contained, with diminishing infection rates, in South Korea and China. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The better and more poignant question, in my opinion, is whether people in the West will allow mandatory vaccinations and another trampling of civil liberties and freedoms out of fear of COVID-19. An authoritarian rule such as is in China, Iran, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, or any other non-Western countries is only a mere step away unless the local populace continuously EXERCISES their rights for their freedoms and liberties WHEN THEY HAVE THEM. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Despots have ruled most of human history to one degree or another, and even &#8216;democracy&#8217; (AKA corporate-manipulated mob-rule), is no utopia. The societies that Western peoples have created over the last five hundred years have allowed their citizens relative freedom in regards to independence and liberties, such as the freedom to associate, freedom of religion, the freedom of speech (a big one), and the right to bear arms (which is not freedom in most Western nations).</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Safeguarding these God-given human rights is essential for a civilized society to reach its maximum creative potential and to work together to ensure that we care for everybody in that society. If people exercised these freedoms to their full extent, we could achieve a relative utopia (social anarchy, common-law based communities) to the &#8216;best country in the world&#8217; (e.g., &#8216;Canada&#8217;). The ruling elite, at any time and place, does not want the masses in their nation (or, as in the current case, the whole Earth), to exercise these freedoms. The less &#8216;privileges&#8217; for the masses, the better in their (psychopathic) minds. It means more wealth, power, and control for them.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ever since 9/11, the fear-mongering, the demolition of civil liberties and freedoms, and government/corporate/technocratic encroachment into people&#8217;s lives have been out of control. Whenever the powers-that-be use a &#8216;false-flag event&#8217; to deceive the masses, if the people fall for it and allow their freedoms to be taken away because of the lie, it is permitting the deceivers to do as they please. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">For, NO ONE CAN TAKE YOUR POWER AWAY UNLESS YOU GIVE IT TO THEM. I believe we are all sentient beings, with the innate power of &#8216;God&#8217; within each of us. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">We are more powerful than what we&#8217;ve been led to believe.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Even when it comes to HIV. Despite nearly one million people still dying from AIDS each year globally, this does not need to be so. I take one antiretroviral pill every other day, and my viral load has remained undetectable since 2010, and my CD4 cell count (white killer blood cells) is now comparable with a healthy person&#8217;s – despite nearly dying from AIDS in 2009. An undetectable HIV viral load also means that a person cannot transmit the virus, even while having unprotected sex. Are pharmaceuticals the only way to control HIV? I don&#8217;t think so.  </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">I have a close friend in South Africa who has remained healthy through natural means. She has never taken any antiretrovirals, yet does get her HIV blood work regularly done and maintains a low viral and high CD4 count through eating healthy (she&#8217;s vegan), taking liposomal vitamin C, Chaga mushrooms, and a whole other host of healthy, natural practices.  </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">I also do not credit my good health now solely to the pharmaceuticals that I take. No one is an island, and it is because of the relationships that I have maintained and developed and holding myself accountable to becoming a better person in every way – has my health so dramatically improved over the last decade.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Whenever a person gives their sovereignty away to a government or corporation (including the religious kind), they are asking for trouble. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Whenever one gives into fear, they are asking for death. Whenever one does not believe in themselves, they are sabotaging themselves.  </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Be strong, work together, and we will get through the 2020s.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And now a new decade is about to begin. Full of worry and fears from all sides of the aisles. Promise or threat of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5G" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">5G</a>, heaven or hell, is but one of a multitude of conundrums we as global citizens who care about the future of our world must consider.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For me personally, 2019 was full of hopes and promises, temporary dips downwards, but an ever-increasing upward trend for the <a href="https://southerntime.ca/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Southern Time</a> project to finally realize its solid foundation. We recorded the Southern Time Band&#8217;s (STB) first music video, I am almost midway through YEDI&#8217;s not-for-profit program, and all that is lacking now are the funds to record the band&#8217;s first album. I will soon be applying for the STB to play and debut &#8216;<a href="https://southerntime.ca/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Lost in Love No More</a>&#8216; to the world at <a href="https://www.aids2020.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">AIDS 2020</a> in San Francisco in July. The album needs to be mastered at least a couple of months before then, so the marketing campaign (e.g., music videos) and world tour preparations can kick into gear full swing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If at least part of the money to record the album (about $100,000 CDN, including promotion) does not come in by the end of January, the Southern Time project may not occur. The stars have aligned for this time.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If the Southern Time project can first make its mark on the world in 2020, then the world can indeed end AIDS by 2030. Don&#8217;t believe me?! See T&#8217;s Instagram video <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B5tYm2WhU9D/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here.</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Southern Time is about making the world livable, enjoyable, and to have freedom for all. The Southern Time team wants to do this by first helping the world end AIDS by 2030 using the power of music and film. If the world can meet UNAIDS&#8217;s goal, we can accomplish anything.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So, I am praying. For our world, and for my personal life and higher aspirations. My partner and I are expecting our first child in February next year, so I have this to think about as well. The ramifications of raising a child in such a tumultuous time should not be deliberated lightly.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you feel compelled to contribute to Lost in Love No More&#8217;s recording, please donate here ~ <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/lost-in-love-no-more">https://www.gofundme.com/f/lost-in-love-no-more</a>, or purchase a demo song through here ~ <a href="https://southerntime.bandcamp.com/">https://southerntime.bandcamp.com/</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Every dollar counts</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Thanks,</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">T</p>

Jeffrey Epstein successfully &#8216;committed suicide&#8217; during his second attempt. How undeniably and obviously predictable! With so many potential nefarious connections of how the global elite operates being at least somewhat exposed in some small momentous manner, Mr. Epstein was simply too much of a liability to keep alive. The first &#8216;attempted suicide&#8217; did not work, so &#8216;they&#8217; made sure the second one did.  </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Californian FB',serif; color: #1c1e29;"> </span></p>

Namely, the three mass shootings in the USA last week. This is a rabbit hole I know many of you will immediately shout &#8216;<strong>CONSPIRACY THEORIST</strong>!!!&#8217;, but as a self-employed musician/entrepreneur, I have more time than most to research how the state of our world and its affairs are run. </span></p>

Moreover, the evidence that there are holes in the official narrative are often glaring and apparent &#8212; if one cares to look even a little way into them.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3 style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Californian FB',serif; color: #1c1e29;">Censorship</span></h3>

Still, this freedom may be soon ending or, at least, to a degree, harder to access. As an example of a highly educated and open-minded truthful discussion of the recent American mass shootings, check out Dr. Katherine Horton and Jim Fetzer&#8217;s interview regarding the El Paso and Dayton attacks</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Californian FB',serif; color: #1c1e29;"> (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmwwzPsYGqw&amp;t=4376s" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">while the video is still up</a>).</span></p>

<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Californian FB',serif; color: #1c1e29;">The &#8216;mainstream media,&#8217; in my opinion, is a shallow and trite form of infotainment, something designed to program the minds of the general public, to manufacture consent for whatever the agenda the elites of our world desire. I have not watched TV in years, and I highly suggest you do not either. Propaganda is toxic as it causes cognitive dissonance. </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Californian FB',serif; color: #1c1e29;"> </span></p>

We do not know what is wrong, but we know <strong>SOMETHING IS WRONG</strong>. Propaganda means being lied to (or the truth stretched to some degree) by one&#8217;s government. And the media, the &#8216;Fourth Estate,&#8217; is the government&#8217;s voice. <strong><span style="font-family: 'Californian FB',serif;"><a href="https://www.globalresearch.ca/threat-to-real-journalism-worldwide-and-what-it-means/5637858" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Real journalism is the pursuit of truth.</a></span></strong></span></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Californian FB',serif; color: #1c1e29;">Hardly any pure and real journalism occurs in any nation around the world nowadays, especially in the West. Every earthly citizen that is connected to the open internet now has an opportunity to find out what might be really going on in our world, but this window is closing. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_by_Google" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Censorship on Google</a> and social media sites are occurring at an accelerated pace. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Californian FB',serif; color: #1c1e29;">I suggest we all become citizen journalists, with real journalism being exercised in the purest sense. After all, many if not most of us now have smartphones. And though, even as the primary current platforms from which we exchange information and ideas are compromised and propagandized, we find alternate websites and ways to continue to enjoy this fortunate, globally-connected time we happen to currently live in.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Californian FB',serif; color: #1c1e29;">-T</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Howdy, folks!! Summer vacations are (partly) what makes life worth living, no?</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Bella Coola</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">My partner and I flew to Vancouver to visit my Mom and Stepdad on July 24. We then all took ferry rides to reach British Columbia&#8217;s Central Coast, namely the town of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bella_Coola,_British_Columbia" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Bella Coola</a>. I last went here on my own in 2014 for the first time and fell in love with this place. It&#8217;s nestled in a valley surrounded by three walls of tall tree-covered mountains where the Bella Coola River meets the ocean. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Mackenzie_(explorer)" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sir Alexander Mackenzie</a> accomplished the first east to west crossing of North America in 1793, which preceded the more famous Lewis and Clark Expedition by 12 years. However, Indigenous tribes had already been living for 10,000 years, and still do to this day!</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Sweet Mary</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I made friends with a Nuxalk elder, Mary Mack, in 2014, and was delighted to reconnect with her in person on this trip. This tribe lived in many villages in a 100 square mile radius in this area, but 90 percent of their population was wiped out by smallpox when the Europeans arrived. The Indigenous across Canada tend to be extremely warm and welcoming if you&#8217;re warm and authentic with them, and sweet Mary is a perfect example of such hospitality.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Kwatna</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Also, fresh salmon and crab! My partner and I took a boat out to a place where the Nuxalk used to live, Kwatna Bay, and we tried to climb a hill where we would like to live one day. Suffice to say, we only made about 50 meters up the mountain, as trying to climb through undisturbed rainforest growth is quite the challenge! We had fun, though, and we&#8217;re blessed to watch and listen to hundreds of dolphins feast on fish in the bay. Even though we are heading back to Vancouver tomorrow, this nature retreat was undoubtedly a significant and necessary change to the rat race of Toronto!</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Indigenous Wisdom</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I wish everyone in our world could be so fortunate and privileged to once again live in balance with nature. I believe the Indigenous peoples of Mother Earth hold the knowledge and wisdom to live in balance with nature, as they have been doing just that since homo sapiens began. Beyond climate change agendas and technology, they hold the key to saving our world. All too often, though, the Indigenous are marginalized, stigmatized, and are victims of (unacknowledged) racism (in Canada). They also experience six times the rates of disease, addictions, and misfortunes as the average Canadian. They are often pawns used for corporate and government interests. Missing and murdered Indigenous women still occur in B.C. Rates of HIV/AIDS in Saskatchewan among their tribes are comparable to those in Sub-Saharan Africa.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Residential Schools</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Not to mention the legacy of residential schools run by the Catholic, Anglican and United Churches in cooperation with the Canadian government, which did not entirely end until the 1990s. Mary Mack and others have said that 50 percent of the children brought into these schools did not come out alive. Moreover, many of those who survived never saw their parents or spoke their languages again. Mary Mack&#8217;s father had the foresight to take his kids into the woods when the Indian Agents came for the Nuxalk kids. However, even in the day-schools that she went to in town, the teachers would beat them if they spoke their native tongue.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Genocide comes in many forms and still goes on around the world. Time for such barbarism to stop, eh?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Southern Time Productions will be touching upon such above themes in our films, so if you feel moved to help in our endeavors, please buy a demo song or two through our Bandcamp site, donate, or just spread the word!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And visit Bella Coola!! It will be a life-changing experience, I promise you. It was for me!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">-T</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Hi, y&#8217; all. For those in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Hemisphere" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Northern Hemisphere</a>, I hope you all are enjoying your summers. I sure am!!! My fiancé and I will soon be leaving for vacation to B.C. (Canada) to visit my mom and stepdad and friends in Vancouver. We will then take a ferry trip to Bella Coola up B.C.&#8217;s Central Coast. FUN!!!! I will post photos on Southern Time&#8217;s social media accounts.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As the topic that the title of this blog implies, and with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Epstein" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Jeffrey Epstein</a> being in the mainstream news (again), this is an issue (aka &#8216;conspiracy theory&#8217;) that first raised its head in the 1980s in the U.S.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Franklin and the Finders</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I am talking about the Franklin Scandal. George Bush Sr. as well as other high-level U.S. politicians were suggested they were involved in a child prostitution ring. Then, along came allegations that a group based in Washington, D.C. called &#8216;The Finders&#8217; were trafficking children, as many unkempt children with signs of abuse were found in a van in Florida in 1987, apparently on their way to a &#8216;brilliant school in Mexico.&#8217; The story appeared in the local newspaper one week that year, then disappeared as quickly as it appeared. Many chalked such stories up to the &#8216;Satanic panic&#8217; of the 1980s in America.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Epstein</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Jeffrey Epstein was first accused of running his prostitution ring of underage girls in 2005. The world first learned of his &#8216;Lolita Express&#8217; that flew high-level politicians, celebrities, scientists (e.g., Stephen Hawking) and royalty to his &#8216;Pedophile Island.&#8217; Although he had to officially register as a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_offender" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">sex offender</a>, he quickly got a sweetheart deal. He did not spend any real time in prison.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Savvy Savile, Hellish Heath, and Pizzagate?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Then came along the British scandals of Jimmy Savile and Prime Minister Edward Heath as posthumously being identified as having been predatory child sexual abusers for decades in the 2010s. Britain, in particular, has a long and documented <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_sexual_abuse_in_the_United_Kingdom" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">history with pedophilia</a>. Also, one cannot forget &#8216;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pizzagate_conspiracy_theory" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Pizzagate</a>&#8216; in the U.S. that many chalked up to being yet another conspiracy theory &#8212; which it may have been but might have been simply a distraction for the real elephant in the room that many if not most politicians in power in the U.S. (and other Western countries) are controlled by pedophilic control files.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Institutional Genocide</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">However, the scandals of multitudes of Catholic priests, Cardinals, and higher being accused and convicted of pedophilic misdeeds since the 2000s alongside the awareness of <strong>the mass murder in Indigenous residential schools in Canada ARE REAL and is of urgent concern</strong>. Child sexual abuse has been going on since civilization began. It&#8217;s time it all stopped, eh?</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Back to Jeffrey</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And now, Epstein is in the news again.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Where there&#8217;s smoke, there&#8217;s fire. If relatively few people wanted to control the affairs of our world, how would they do it? As any mobster can tell you, <a href="https://home.solari.com/control-files/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">blackmail works</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We live in a time when lies and deceit are being exposed, and pretty much the only thing one can trust is their intuition and deductive thinking. Indeed, not our governments, institutions, and the lamestream media. Let&#8217;s build a world of leaders free from being compromised. It starts with us &#8212; being honest with ourselves and everyone around us, doing our utmost to doing no harm to individuals who have less power or privilege than us. For, the moral qualities of leaders only rise from the noble traits of the masses.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://southerntime.ca/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Southern Time Productions</a>&#8216; mission is in part to expose the injustices of the world through art in film to encourage people to hold authorities accountable for their actions and misdeeds &#8212; and to <strong>NEVER LET A CHILD BE HARMED AGAIN</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Have a great summer, everyone!!!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">-T</p>

]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Howdy-doody, folks!! Last night, <a href="https://southerntime.ca/team-member/bryant-didier/">Bryant Didier</a>, the Southern Time Band&#8217;s bassist/producer, recorded and mapped out the 8 songs of the album-to-be <strong>&#8216;Lost in Love No More.&#8217;</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This recording will serve as a template for the other members of the Southern Time Band to start getting ideas about what they might contribute to the songs. If funding one way or another comes in, the band will commence its first workshop of the songs in August. As well, we want to record two demo songs from the album by the end of the month.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">What is the Southern Time Band? It is the rock opera band for the cinematic rock opera &#8216;Southern Time&#8217; T wrote. We produced a multi-media stage production of Southern Time back in 2005, but it was always meant to be on the big screen. <a href="https://southerntime.ca/team-member/t/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">T</a> is the lead singer of the band, is HIV positive, and nearly died from AIDS in 2009. Another of the band&#8217;s vocalists, <a href="https://southerntime.ca/team-member/justin-anantawan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Justin Anantawan</a>, is also HIV positive. We want to not only make great music and film but also want to help end AIDS by 2030.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We are not famous yet, but we want and need it to be, so please share the cause and spread the word about our rock opera band to your friends.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Our Plan of Action</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We will continue to rehearse weekly in September until our backup singer Justin Anantawan (who is currently away), rejoins us for another workshop around the start of October. We want to prepare the songs for performances, which will begin mid-October. Our goal is to start recording the album starting in January 2020.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The songs that will be on the album are ~</p>
<ol style="text-align: justify;">
<li><strong>Lost in Love</strong>: T&#8217;s journey with HIV (which has really been a journey with love) in a nutshell.</li>
<li><strong>Time</strong>: Expresses T&#8217;s state of being while living with HIV for over 23 years thus far, namely, timelessness&#8230;</li>
<li><strong>Desert Moon</strong>: Expresses the feeling of desolation and despair T felt the few years after testing positive in 1996.</li>
<li><strong>Searching for Love</strong>: The song on the album that&#8217;s most like musical theatre. Self-explanatory.</li>
<li><strong>Lies</strong>: T wrote this song in his late 20s when he realized most of everything in our world was a sham, including the lies he told himself.</li>
<li><strong>Neville</strong>: The song T wrote when the professor who infected him with HIV and he started to truly reconcile.</li>
<li><strong>Hey Charlie</strong>: T wrote this song in 2018, the year that the professor died. He and T became the best of friends by then.</li>
<li><strong>When The Fire Dreams</strong>: Yet-to-be-completed by the Southern Time Band as a whole! A song of triumph over despair.</li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We are currently awaiting word from the <a href="https://canadacouncil.ca/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Canada Council for the Arts</a> regarding whether our two grant applications were successful or not (should find out in the next two weeks). We have also been trying by any means possible to find an angel investor. If Southern Time Productions and the Southern Time Band (under Southern Time Productions) are to help end AIDS through the power of music and film, the first studio album of the Southern Time Band must garner a global reach after the album&#8217;s release. This will require heavy promotion and music videos made before the album&#8217;s release, with a world tour following. These endeavors will not be inexpensive.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But there is no rest for the wicked. I have faith now that Southern Time will happen like never before, but there are two sides to faith. One must do their part if the Universe is to reciprocate.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Our Request</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Which is why we are asking you to help if you can and feel so moved. Time is of the essence, and the potential positive impact the Southern Time project can have is enormous but time-sensitive.

We will also be launching a Kickstarter campaign soon. So, even you cannot give to the project at this stage, please get the word out to all you know who might want to and can. We already have more than 15,000 Instagram followers and nearly 7,000 Facebook likes. Like and follow us!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Also, the Southern Time project is not just about our music and film, or even people living with HIV &#8212; it is about making the world a better place FOR ALL. And, what better way to do it through non-violent means such as music?! So join the Southern Time Community and submit music videos of YOU or somebody you know singing. We will post them to our social media platforms. Please email them to <a href="mailto:t@southerntime.ca"><strong>t@southerntime.ca</strong></a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Southern Time Band is also for hire! Want some &#8216;<strong>jazzy-classical musical theateresque art rock</strong>&#8216; to entertain your guests at your party or your corporate function? <strong>The instrumentalists of the rock opera band are some of the best musicians in Canada.</strong> <a href="https://southerntime.ca/contact/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Contact us today</a>!</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Why are health and fitness vital for life? One may take it for granted, but I could not be afforded the privilege of not being able to slack on eating <a href="https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/50-super-healthy-foods" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">healthy foods</a>, <a href="https://blog.shawacademy.com/13-exercises-that-everyone-should-have-in-their-program/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">regularly exercising</a>, <a href="https://www.ekhartyoga.com/articles/practice/30-benefits-of-a-daily-yoga-practice" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">practicing a balanced yogic mindset</a>, and be able to maintain a productive, youthful lifestyle. You see, I tested positive for <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/basics/whatishiv.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">HIV</a> in 1996 when I was twenty when HIV still pretty much equaled <a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/hiv-aids/symptoms-causes/syc-20373524" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">AIDS</a>. The life-saving medications that came out that year were<br />
beginning their field-testing stage. Nobody knew precisely how affective they would turn out to be. These anti-retroviral cocktails had many side effects in the beginning (of which I experience many), but the science has come a long way. If one now has access to consistent, effective, and affordable <a href="https://www.avert.org/living-with-hiv/starting-treatment" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">HIV medications</a>, and dutifully takes their regimen, they can live an average lifespan and engage in unprotected <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">sex</a> without infecting their partner. U=U.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">However, not too much of the general public is aware of how far HIV science has come. The world could end AIDS by 2030 if it only tried.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Goals</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">My name is <a href="https://southerntime.ca/team-member/t/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">T</a> and I am also a classically trained musician. However, after testing HIV positive in 1996, I quit my classical music studies. I started to compose songs and learn how to sing. This musical change of career eventually led to the composition and production of my rock opera &#8216;<a href="https://southerntime.ca/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Southern Time</a>&#8216; as a multi-media stage production in Vancouver in 2005. After nearly dying from AIDS in 2009 (I was not taking medications or seeing a doctor for 10 years), in 2015, I moved to Toronto for the third time to put the Southern Time Band together &#8212; the <strong>rock opera band</strong> for the cinematic version of my rock opera. In 2018, I found the instrumentalists for the band, and in 2019 I found <a href="https://southerntime.ca/team-member/justin-anantawan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Justin Anantawan</a> &#8212; the first of possibly three additional HIV positive singers in the band. Justin and I want to help end AIDS by 2030 through encouraging the Southern Time Band&#8217;s fans to pressure their governments to meet <a href="https://www.unaids.org/en" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">UNAIDS</a>&#8216; goal. The band is now ready to record our first album, but we lack the funds to do so. We also need to perform more to refine the songs before recording.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you or somebody you know would like to hire the Southern Time Band to perform, please <a href="https://southerntime.ca/contact/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">let us know</a>! <strong>We are a rock opera band based in Toronto. We are for hire and are willing to travel.</strong></p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Method</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In 2014, I became vegetarian, eating mostly organic foods, and since, my physical health and clarity of mind have been relatively exceptional. And in 2016, I started seeing a naturopath, and have subsequently been receiving weekly acupuncture treatment and health advice. In 2018, I started seeing a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_therapy" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">physiotherapist</a>, which has made me understand what it will take to get my mobility back to normal again. I also try to walk in nature, mindfully or swim at least three times per week. And though I am now forty-three, people often comment on how young and healthy I look. However, I have been eating healthy and exercising in nature since I tested positive. If I did not do so, I believe I would not enjoy the health I do today.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Recommendations</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I have found is that if one watches what they eat, regular exercises, and directs their health and self-care, the results of such are staggering. A reliable and positive support network is also a must. Though I have sustained potentially permanent lower spinal cord damage from nearly dying from AIDS, my nerves are still improving every year. As well, my immune system is now as comparable again &#8212; health wise &#8212; to an average person&#8217;s.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I cannot stress enough how important it is to eat healthily, and maintaining regular exercise is to one&#8217;s overall physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Take care, and good health!!</p>
