A Few Notes
I am making this information freely accessible for the people who want to contribute to the spreading of love and light. I also do not expect that everything will resonate. Some might, some might not. Take what can be of service to you and your loved ones and leave the rest.
If you recognise that you’ve experienced a significant amount and / or level of trauma, I suggest that you at least take care of yourself first. Ask yourself if you need to continue reading this at this time and why. I intend to do my best not to sensationalise any of it, as this isn’t a trill seekers’ fix. However, I also don’t intend to water it down and this harassment spans over forty years.
I’ve observed how I tended to just stay away from accounts reporting similar things in the past. Aside from the fact that biographies are not my favourite genre, often times, it also deceptively seemed to me like yet another sex scandal or fear mongering designed to keep people—especially women— afraid to even walk the streets. As it turns out, the details of these accounts are useful to know about, provided that while at it we adequately care for our nervous system in the process and grow our discernment muscle to recognise when an account is genuine and when it is mostly for show. It can also be both of course.
I’ll be supporting my nervous system now by making myself a lemon ginger honey tea1 before pressing forward.
When I write “you” I am first and foremost addressing the version of myself that had just broke up with Agent J in 2017.
That version of me :
· had survived several years of harassment at school, at work and in town,
· had survived a difficult year-long scholarship abroad where she had also been harassed,
· had known a lot of insecurity in her social life due to harassment,
· was estranged from her family.
She was tired of swimming in a sea of secrets and lies.
She needed answers.
(Below I am quoting the last slide from that post)
Don’t write to be liked.
Don’t write to be right.
Don’t write to be understood.
Write to become emotionally literate,
accepting of yourself, and free.
Write to move a culture.
Write a philosophical change.
Write to revolutionise your pain.
An Introduction
While the Earth’s population is waking up to media antics, it has yet to be widely known how that works through movies, TV Shows and novels.
A great resource to start being informed about these inner workings are the interviews given by Tom Troxell né Atlhouse2, the real creator of The Matrix series. It is thanks to having watched several of his interviews that I’ve started closely examining these productions.
Structure of the Magic Mike’s Last Dance movie
The Magic Mike’s Last Dance movie is structured like a lot of other Hollywood movies who are routinely used to convey messages to the public and to specific targets. The tone, an occult mockery or a lovingly tongue-in-cheek humorous missive for example, varies depending on who is behind that project and what is its true purpose.
Here, I recognise Agent J’s signature sense of humour plus a plethora of other signs, so it is clear to me that the tone is humorous for most of us.
Another aspect of this is that movies, TV Shows, novels, etc. usually contain an unknown amount and mixture of lies and truth.
In this case, I know that the movie is based on rumours that had been purposefully created and circulated about me as open secrets because enough indicators have been provided for me to recognise which true events are referenced. However, some of Agent J’s journey is also featured in there for which I can only guess.
How I intend to roll with this
I am posting below the official legacy trailer which I find is great at giving us an overview of what the Magic Mike’s series is truly about. I’ve observed that the filmmaker Steven Soderberg (Erin Brockovich) tends to sign off on movies that are based on real social issues and regular people who somehow made a significant impact on these issues.
With the abundance of half dressed beautiful men, you deceptively might be led to believe at first glance that those movies are just about a part of the sex industry that is rarely portrayed in the entertainment industry at large. There is a gentle invitation to reflect more deeply on some usual conventions and beliefs and I especially appreciate how this is delivered with a unique masculine sensibility.
Soderbergh's films often revolve around familiar concepts which are regularly used for big-budget Hollywood movies, but he routinely employs an avant-garde arthouse approach. They center on themes of shifting personal identities, vengeance, sexuality, morality, and the human condition. His feature films are often distinctive in the realm of cinematography as a result of his having been influenced by avant-garde cinema, coupled with his use of unconventional film and camera formats. Many of Soderbergh's films are anchored by multi-dimensional storylines with plot twists, nonlinear storytelling, experimental sequencing, suspenseful soundscapes, and third-person vantage points.
I intend to talk about the movie Magic Mike’s Last Dance by examining the components of the following trailer, by detailing what I think its components refers to in order to provide enough details for verification efforts.
I could write about the whole movie of course but it might spoil it and a shorter examination means we’ll be able to move on to the next movie more quickly to easily get a clear overall picture.
Lastly…
I want to conclude this first article on the Magic Mike’s Last Dance movie on a lighter note while still staying relevant to this discussion. Growing up, I exhibited aptitudes and interests in several subjects. Some of my favourite things to do early on were playing outside and writing stories that I would then be hard at work to bring to life with dolls, sewing clothes, wanting to get the Barbie car, the Barbie house, etc. basically envisioning creating a universe.
While I didn’t see how realistically it could be for me to earn a living as a creative later on3, I became pretty adamant about being supportive to the ones who were doing so over the years, especially but not limiting myself to celebrating women creatives. Some seemingly welcomed it for a time, others rejected it outright or became suspicious of a fellow woman wanting to play the role of spontaneous cheerleader.4
All this to say, I am overjoyed that such discussions as the one I am posting below is now happening.
The universe gave you a vessel to expand its never~ending boundaries, not for its borders to be imposed upon you. @theneighbours2021Ⓡ
Talking about being supportive to creatives, here are the photo credits of my profile photo :

It’s a Medical Medium recipe where I heat the water.
He’s been interviewed several times by Steve Yasell of Yissimissil Productions and by Chantelle Meyburgh of Aquarius Rising Africa.
The argument was that in light of my particular journey, I saw the creative world as a giant popularity contest. As the daughter of immigrants, I felt I had to be more sensible and choose an occupation that was a surer bet of a secure and stable income. Plus, I wasn’t popular at school so, I concluded, no dice! as they used to say back then.
Plus, there were those open secrets floating around about me to consider. This was a valid concern. Several people even loosely associated with me have been harassed over the years. This is part of what prompted people like Agent J to investigate and eventually approach me.
