This video (Part Two) picks up where we left off. (I recommend watching Part One of this series before this video). We first review some recent technology disclosures (2020-present) in the consensus media that connect to and underscore technology that Donald discussed. We then rejoin the musical journey, pulling narrative threads through the music Donny has disclosed he made, and tackle music made by Don between 1990-1994.

Information about this series: I earned a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and was an instructor/clinician for many years. This series of videos is a very informal look across the 48-year life span of Donald Marshall, and the music he claims to have made, viewed through a psychological lens. These videos do Not have superb editing/a mixing board, so the sound is not perfectly uniform, etc., but rather we focus informally on the journey across linear time to address themes Donald Marshall placed in the music he produced. If you are looking for high tech/crisp audio/ etc. this is not it. I'm basically a lady with a laptop--one who began waking up back 26 years ago in 1998 during my master's degree--and by 2013 had run across the Donald Marshall material, of which I had a number of personal synchronicities with, so it resonated with me. I have followed it closely ever since, therefore the viewpoint by which we engage this material across this four part (8 1/2 hour series) is my interaction with the narrative for the last 11 years.

I created some AI art for this Google Slides presentation in an effort to bring visuals to the material. I have found over the years that adding visuals to presentations helps bridge gaps between the material presented and the listener/watcher. I bring my research skills and abilities as an educator and therapist to the story, but the real story here is about shining a light on this subject in an effort to educate and illuminate, while bringing commentary and hopefully entertaining along the way.

Donald Marshall is the star of this story, for we are going to start at the beginning and "grow up" along with him, through his music. We zoom in and out of his story, discussing the music and the lyrics, as well as analyzing how a person who was in his situation might have coped with it--by using his creativity and musical talents to tell his story. This is a simple, fun look at a complex subject.

Warning! The Donald Marshall material contains a narrative about a person abused in extreme ways across multiple domains--physical, emotional, intellectual, and sexual. Don addressed difficult adult and abuse related topics both in his letter and his music, but also in the many social media posts I will discuss. Donald tells a story about the trauma and torture he experienced while a victim of the cabal (What I call "The They,") in control of our realm. Therefore, this is a trigger warning, if those subjects trigger you, I completely validate that, however this video series may not be something you want to engage.

Discussion points: Various psychological stage theories on cognition, development, and morality, cognitive dissonance, side effects of PTSD, trauma-based reactions and personality characteristics, abuser mentality, Stockholm Syndrome, social/emotional development patterns, secondary PTSD reactions, dissociation, depersonalization, splitting, characteristics of sociopathy, and the spectrum swing between survivor and learned helplessness. We also discuss the narrator or speaker as the 'I, me" speaking in this music, and how that translates into a voice we can hear across decades (and more!). Although the subject focus is music in this series, we also discuss how technology that The They possess is deeply embedded in both the process and the outcome of the music. This tech includes consciousness/bio-mind transfer, REM driven clones, and other features of the realm we reside in.
