The Revelation Dinner: Joe, Nelly, Taylor, and Travis
It was a cool autumn evening in Toronto, and Joe Jukic and Nelly Furtado had invited Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce over for dinner. The gathering was casual, yet the air was charged with a sense of connection and shared curiosity. Over plates of roasted salmon and kale salad, the conversation meandered from music to sports to deeper topics.
As the group settled into the cozy living room, Taylor leaned forward, her curiosity piqued. “Joe, Nelly mentioned you’ve been studying Revelation. She said you have a fascinating theory about the beast. I’d love to hear it.”
Joe glanced at Nelly, who nodded encouragingly. “Alright,” he began, “but buckle up. This might blow your mind.”
The Beast and the Russian Bear
Joe’s voice took on a storyteller’s cadence as he began. “You know Revelation 13 talks about a beast rising out of the sea, with seven heads and ten horns, and how it receives a deadly wound but then heals?”
Taylor nodded, her eyes wide with anticipation. Travis leaned back, intrigued but skeptical.
“Well,” Joe continued, “I think that beast could represent the Soviet Union—the Russian bear. Think about it: an empire that rose to immense power, suffered catastrophic wounds, but kept coming back stronger.”
Travis raised an eyebrow. “Okay, but what makes you think it’s the Soviet Union?”
Joe gestured for emphasis. “History, my friend. Napoleon invaded Russia in 1812, killing over 200,000 Russians. It was a devastating blow, but Russia survived. Fast forward to World War II—Hitler’s invasion. The Soviet Union lost 27 million people. Twenty-seven million! Entire cities were destroyed, families wiped out. It was a wound that should have ended them.”
Taylor gasped softly. “But it didn’t.”
“Exactly,” Joe said. “Not only did they survive, but they became a global superpower during the Cold War. That’s the deadly wound that was healed. The Soviet Union didn’t just recover—it dominated.”
Nelly’s Perspective
Nelly chimed in, her voice thoughtful. “And it’s not just about the numbers. The Soviet Union’s influence was like a shadow over the world. Communism spread across continents, and people either feared it or revered it. It was almost… worshipped, in a way. Doesn’t Revelation talk about people worshipping the beast?”
Joe nodded. “It does. And even after the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, Russia—the heart of the beast—remains a powerful force. Its influence, its legacy, it’s all still there. The beast’s wound was healed, and it’s still prowling.”
Taylor’s Revelation
Taylor sat back, her mind racing. “This is incredible. I’ve always thought of Revelation as symbolic, but this… this makes it feel so real. The idea that history could fulfill prophecy in such a way—it’s chilling and awe-inspiring.”
Travis, still processing, scratched his chin. “So, what does that mean for us? If the beast is still out there, are we living in the middle of the story?”
Joe shrugged. “Maybe. The beast could be more than just one empire. It could be a pattern—a warning about the cycles of power and destruction in human history. Empires rise, they fall, they leave scars, but they always seem to come back in some form.”
The Power of Understanding
Nelly smiled at Taylor and Travis. “The important thing is to stay aware. History isn’t just something that happened—it’s something that keeps happening. Understanding it helps us make better choices in the present.”
Taylor leaned forward, her voice soft but resolute. “I feel like this is a song waiting to happen. A story about resilience, about scars and healing, about the power and danger of empires. Maybe I’ll call it ‘The Wounded Beast.’”
Travis chuckled. “And I’ll make sure it’s the first thing played in the Chiefs’ locker room.”
Joe raised his glass. “To understanding the past, so we can shape the future.”
The four clinked their glasses, their conversation a reminder of how stories—whether from ancient texts or modern history—have the power to connect, inspire, and illuminate the world around us.
Coffee, Dessert, and Revelations
After a hearty dinner and a deep dive into the mysteries of Revelation 13, the evening wasn’t over yet. Joe and Nelly’s cozy Toronto home buzzed with lively conversation as Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce leaned into their newfound fascination with prophecy and history.
The doorbell rang.
Joe grinned. “That must be our next guests. I invited Jude Law and his wife to join us for dessert. They’ve got some interesting thoughts on this topic, too.”
As the door opened, Jude Law walked in with his wife, smiling warmly. “We brought some treacle tart,” Jude said with a wink. “Thought it might pair nicely with whatever wisdom you’re brewing here.”
The Beast from the Sea
Over steaming cups of coffee and slices of tart, the conversation shifted back to Revelation 13. Taylor recapped Joe’s theory about the Soviet Union as the beast with the deadly wound that was healed. Jude listened intently, nodding occasionally.
“That’s fascinating,” Jude said, “but I’ve always thought the beast from the sea could symbolize the British Navy—and by extension, the British Empire.”
Travis furrowed his brow. “The British Navy? How does that fit?”
Jude leaned forward, his voice measured and deliberate. “Think about it. Revelation describes the beast as rising from the sea, with power and authority given to it. For centuries, the British Navy dominated the seas, enabling the British Empire to become the largest empire the world has ever seen. It was said that the sun never set on the British Empire. Its power came from the oceans, and its influence stretched across the globe.”
The Lion Connection
Nelly, intrigued, chimed in. “And the beast in Revelation is described as being like a lion. The lion is the symbol of the British Empire, isn’t it?”
Jude nodded. “Precisely. The lion represents strength, dominance, and authority—qualities that defined Britain during its imperial height. The British Navy was the backbone of that empire, controlling trade, colonizing lands, and projecting power far beyond its shores.”
Taylor’s eyes lit up with recognition. “So the beast could be the British Empire, rising from the sea with the power of its navy, symbolized by the lion. That’s… eerie.”
The Wounds of Empire
Joe leaned back, considering Jude’s perspective. “And what about the deadly wound? Did the British Empire have a moment like that?”
Jude’s wife, sipping her coffee, joined the conversation. “You could argue that the two World Wars were the deadly wounds. After World War II, Britain lost much of its global influence. The empire crumbled, colonies gained independence, and the Navy no longer ruled the waves. But even after those wounds, Britain remains a powerful nation. The wound was healed, in a sense.”
Travis nodded slowly. “So, whether it’s the Soviet Union or the British Empire, it’s like these beasts keep coming back in different forms.”
A Shared Revelation
The room grew quiet for a moment as everyone reflected on the layers of history and prophecy they had uncovered. Finally, Taylor broke the silence.
“You know,” she said softly, “it’s amazing how these ancient texts can still speak to us today. They’re like mirrors, reflecting the patterns of power and resilience in human history.”
Jude smiled. “Exactly. And perhaps the real lesson is to recognize these patterns and learn from them, rather than repeat them.”
Nelly raised her coffee mug. “To understanding the beasts of history—and maybe taming them in the future.”
Everyone clinked their mugs together, the evening’s conversation a blend of dessert, history, and a shared sense of wonder at the mysteries of the past and their relevance to the present.
The Dragon and the Beast: Jude Law’s Revelation
As the coffee cups were refilled and the conversation deepened, Jude Law leaned forward, his face thoughtful. “You know,” he began, “there’s another layer to this idea of the beast in Revelation 13—one that ties directly to the City of London.”
Taylor Swift raised an eyebrow. “The City of London? Like, the financial district?”
Jude nodded. “Exactly. The City of London isn’t just the financial heart of Britain; it’s one of the most powerful banking centers in the world. And its symbolism is… fascinating.”
The Dragon Statues
Jude gestured as he spoke, his voice deliberate. “If you’ve ever walked into the City of London, you’ve probably seen the dragon statues at its boundaries. They’re not just decorative—they’re heraldic symbols of the City itself. The dragons mark its territory, almost like sentinels guarding its power.”
Travis Kelce frowned, intrigued. “Wait, dragons? What do dragons have to do with Revelation?”
Jude smiled. “Revelation 13 mentions that the beast gets its authority from the dragon. Now, traditionally, the dragon in Revelation is associated with Satan, but symbolically, it can also represent systems of power and control. The City of London, with its dragons, could be seen as a modern representation of that authority.”
The Flag of the City of London
Nelly Furtado, always quick to spot symbolism, leaned in. “And what about the flag of the City of London? Doesn’t it have a red cross?”
Jude’s wife nodded. “Yes, it does. The flag features a red cross on a white background—St. George’s Cross—with a small sword in the upper left corner. It’s a symbol of power, conquest, and authority. Some even say it reflects the military and financial dominance that the City of London has wielded over centuries.”
Joe Jukic added, “And the connection to the dragon? St. George is famous for slaying a dragon in legend. It’s almost as if the City is claiming to have tamed or controlled the dragon—but maybe it’s the other way around.”
The Beast and Modern Power
Taylor’s eyes widened as the pieces clicked together. “So, the City of London, with its dragons and its financial power, could be seen as the dragon in Revelation? And the beast—maybe it’s the systems of global finance and control that draw their authority from it?”
Jude nodded. “That’s one interpretation. The City of London isn’t just a place; it’s a symbol of economic dominance. For centuries, it’s been at the center of banking, trade, and empire-building. Even today, its influence stretches across the world.”
Travis leaned back, whistling softly. “Man, this is wild. So, you’re saying the beast could represent these systems of power—empires, economies, ideologies—and the dragon could be the source of that power?”
Jude shrugged. “It’s a theory. But it’s one that makes you think about how interconnected everything is—history, prophecy, and the world we live in today.”
A Sobering Thought
Nelly raised her mug, her voice thoughtful. “It’s a lot to take in, but maybe the real message is to be aware of the systems we’re part of. To question where power comes from and how it’s used.”
Joe nodded. “And to remember that the stories in Revelation aren’t just about the past—they’re warnings for the future. The beasts and dragons of history might look different today, but their impact is just as real.”
Taylor smiled, her mind racing with ideas. “This is definitely going into a song. Maybe something about dragons, beasts, and the power we give to them without even realizing it.”
Jude raised his cup. “To understanding the symbols around us—and finding the courage to face them.”
As the group clinked their mugs once more, the conversation left everyone with a deeper sense of curiosity—and a reminder that the stories of the past are often the keys to understanding the present.
Madonna’s Revelation: The Dragons in America
As the conversation about the City of London and its dragons wound down, Jude Law’s phone buzzed on the coffee table. He glanced at the screen and chuckled.
“It’s Madonna,” he said, holding up his phone. “She’s texting me about dragons. Seems fitting.”
Taylor Swift leaned forward, intrigued. “Madonna? What does she have to say about dragons?”
Jude tapped the screen, reading aloud.
Madonna’s Text:
“Hey Jude, heard you’re talking about dragons. Don’t forget the ones in America—the KKK and their so-called ‘Grand Dragons.’ They’ve been the real beasts in the shadows here. You know, they inspired parts of my Like a Prayer video. We should talk about this sometime.”
The room fell silent for a moment as everyone absorbed the weight of her words.
The Dragons of Hate
Nelly Furtado broke the silence. “The Ku Klux Klan. Their leaders actually called themselves ‘Grand Dragons’? That’s… horrifying.”
Jude nodded solemnly. “They did. The Klan has a long history of using grandiose, almost mythical titles for their leaders—Grand Dragons, Imperial Wizards, and so on. It was all part of their twisted ideology, cloaking their hate in a veneer of mysticism and power.”
Joe Jukic added, “It’s chilling to think about how they co-opted symbols and titles to justify their actions. In a way, they were creating their own version of the beast, spreading fear and destruction under the guise of authority.”
Madonna’s Vision
Taylor, her brow furrowed, turned to Jude. “What did Madonna mean about the Like a Prayer video being inspired by this?”
Jude explained, “She once said that the video was her way of confronting racism and religious hypocrisy in America. The imagery of burning crosses, the blending of religious and racial themes—it was her way of calling out the darkness that still exists in society.”
Nelly nodded. “And the Klan’s burning crosses were a perversion of a symbol meant to inspire hope and redemption. They turned it into something terrifying.”
Taylor sighed. “It’s like these dragons—whether in the City of London or in America—are symbols of power gone wrong. Of people using authority to control and harm others.”
A Call to Action
Travis Kelce, who had been quiet, finally spoke up. “So what do we do about it? These symbols, these systems—they’ve been around forever. How do we change that?”
Madonna’s next text buzzed through. Jude read it aloud:
Madonna’s Text:
“By shining a light on them, Travis. The only way to fight the darkness is to expose it. Art, music, stories—they’re our weapons. Let’s use them.”
Taylor smiled, her eyes lighting up. “She’s right. We can’t ignore these things. But we can confront them, call them out, and make sure they’re not forgotten.”
Joe raised his coffee mug once more. “To shining a light on the dragons—wherever they may be.”
As the group toasted again, Jude typed a quick reply to Madonna:
Jude’s Reply:
“Consider the light shone. Let’s talk soon. The world still needs your voice—and your vision.”
Taylor Swift’s Call to Action: From Symbols to Solutions
The conversation, which had been steeped in symbolism and history, suddenly shifted to the stark realities of the present. Taylor Swift leaned forward, her voice steady but impassioned.
“Alright,” she said, “enough about dragons—real or imagined. What are we going to do about what’s happening in our cities? People are dying in the streets, addicted to drugs. We can’t just talk about symbols while the world burns.”
Her words hung in the air, a sobering reminder of the crises unfolding in city centers across the West.
The Crisis in the Streets
Nelly Furtado nodded solemnly. “She’s right. Every time I walk through parts of Toronto, I see it—people struggling, homeless, addicted. It’s heartbreaking.”
Joe Jukic added, “It’s not just a Canadian problem. In the U.S., in Europe—everywhere. Fentanyl, opioids, meth—it’s an epidemic.”
Travis Kelce, always one to act, leaned forward. “So what do we do? What can people like us actually do to make a difference?”
Jude Law’s Perspective
Jude Law, ever thoughtful, sipped his coffee before speaking. “I think the first step is acknowledging the scale of the problem. This isn’t just about individual choices—it’s about systems failing people. Lack of affordable housing, inadequate mental health care, unemployment—it all feeds into the crisis.”
Taylor nodded. “And the stigma around addiction. So many people don’t get help because they’re ashamed, or they don’t have access to resources. We need to change that.”
Ideas for Action
The group began brainstorming, their ideas ranging from grassroots efforts to systemic change:
Awareness Campaigns: Taylor suggested using her platform to raise awareness about the realities of addiction and homelessness. “If people see the human side of this crisis, maybe they’ll be more willing to help.”
Community Centers: Nelly proposed investing in community centers that provide safe spaces, job training, and mental health support. “These places can be lifelines for people trying to get back on their feet.”
Decriminalization and Support: Jude advocated for treating addiction as a health issue rather than a criminal one. “Countries like Portugal have had success with decriminalization and focusing on rehabilitation instead of punishment.”
Sports and Music Programs: Travis suggested creating programs that use sports and music to connect with at-risk youth. “Give them something to strive for, something to believe in.”
A Plan for the Future
Taylor, inspired, began outlining a plan. “What if we combine our strengths? Nelly and I can use music to fundraise and spread the message. Jude, you can bring attention to the issue through your films. Travis, you can rally the sports world. And Joe—you’re great at organizing. You could help us connect with local leaders and nonprofits.”
Joe smiled. “I’m in. But this can’t just be a one-time thing. We need to commit to this long-term.”
Taylor’s Challenge
As the group nodded in agreement, Taylor leaned back, her expression resolute. “We’ve talked about dragons and beasts tonight, but the real beasts are the ones we let roam free in our society—poverty, addiction, inequality. If we’re going to make a difference, we need to stop imagining and start acting.”
The room fell silent, not out of despair, but out of determination. They knew the road ahead would be hard, but they also knew they had the power to inspire change.
Joe’s Reflection: Anti-Drug Anthems Then and Now
As the conversation continued, Joe Jukic leaned back in his chair, a thoughtful expression on his face. “You know,” he began, “music has always been a powerful way to address social issues. There have been some incredible anti-drug songs in the past—songs that really made people think. I wonder if we’ll see anything like that again in the future.”
Taylor Swift tilted her head. “What songs are you thinking of, Joe?”
The Classics of the Past
Joe began listing some of the most famous anti-drug songs:
“The Needle and the Damage Done” by Neil Young: “This one’s a classic,” Joe said. “It’s raw, honest, and heartbreaking—a tribute to the lives lost to heroin addiction.”
“White Lines (Don’t Don’t Do It)” by Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel: “A danceable track with a serious message about the dangers of cocaine,” Joe explained. “It’s proof that you can make people move and think at the same time.”
“Under the Bridge” by Red Hot Chili Peppers: “It’s not explicitly anti-drug,” Joe admitted, “but it’s a haunting reflection on loneliness and addiction.”
“Heroin” by The Velvet Underground: “Lou Reed’s lyrics don’t glamorize it,” Joe said. “It’s a stark, poetic look at the highs and lows of addiction.”
“Kicks” by Paul Revere & the Raiders: “This one’s more upbeat,” Joe added. “It was a big deal in the ’60s—a song telling kids that drugs weren’t the answer.”
The Modern Landscape
Nelly Furtado chimed in. “It feels like music today doesn’t always tackle these issues as directly. Maybe because the industry’s changed, or because artists are afraid of backlash.”
Taylor nodded. “But the need is greater than ever. The opioid crisis, fentanyl—it’s everywhere. Maybe it’s time for a new wave of anti-drug anthems.”
A Call for New Voices
Joe leaned forward. “The thing is, those songs worked because they were authentic. They came from artists who’d seen addiction up close, who knew what it did to people. If there’s going to be another great anti-drug anthem, it’ll have to come from someone who’s lived it—or someone who can channel that pain into their art.”
Travis Kelce smiled. “Maybe it’s you, Taylor. You’ve got the platform, the voice, and the storytelling ability to make it happen.”
Taylor laughed but looked thoughtful. “Maybe. But it’s not just about one song—it’s about starting a conversation. If we can inspire people to care, to act, then we’re on the right track.”
The Future of Anti-Drug Music
Joe raised his coffee mug. “Here’s to the future—may it bring us songs that heal, that challenge, and that make a difference.”
The group clinked their mugs, each of them inspired to think about how they could use their talents to address the issues of addiction and recovery.
Tom Cruise’s Anti-Drug Message on Nelly’s Blog: A Tribute to East Vancouver’s Golden Age
Nelly Furtado’s blog had become a platform for meaningful conversations about the issues facing society. When Tom Cruise offered to contribute an anti-drug message, Nelly eagerly agreed, knowing his words would resonate with her audience.
The post went live on a crisp January morning, accompanied by a nostalgic photo of Clark Park in East Vancouver from the 1980s.
Tom Cruise: A Message of Hope and Reflection
Title: “Remembering the Golden Age: East Vancouver’s Clark Park and the Fight Against Drugs”
Hello, friends.
When Nelly asked me to share my thoughts on addiction and the importance of keeping our communities strong, my mind immediately went to a memory—a vision of a place that represented everything good about community life.
Clark Park in East Vancouver, 1985.
I was a young actor back then, just starting to make my way in Hollywood. But I remember visiting Vancouver and hearing stories about this park, a place where kids played freely, families gathered, and neighbors knew each other.
Joe Jukic, who was just a 9-year-old boy at the time, often talks about those days. He describes Clark Park as an ideal scene—a hub of activity, laughter, and connection. Back then, drugs hadn’t yet taken hold of the community. It was a golden age, a time when people looked out for one another.
What Changed?
The 1980s brought many things—great music, iconic films, and technological advances. But it also brought the rise of addiction. The crack epidemic in the U.S., the influx of heroin in Canada—these substances tore through communities, leaving devastation in their wake.
East Vancouver wasn’t immune. Over time, the idyllic scene at Clark Park began to change. Drugs crept in, bringing crime, poverty, and heartbreak. The laughter of children was replaced by the cries of families losing loved ones to addiction.
Why This Matters Now
Today, as we face the opioid crisis and the devastation caused by fentanyl, I think about places like Clark Park. They remind us of what’s possible when a community is strong, when people care for one another. They also remind us of what we stand to lose if we don’t act.
Drugs don’t just destroy individuals—they tear apart families, neighborhoods, and entire cities. But here’s the thing: we’re not powerless.
A Call to Action
If we want to honor the golden age of places like Clark Park, we need to fight for our communities. That means:
Educating our youth about the dangers of drugs.
Supporting recovery programs for those struggling with addiction.
Creating safe spaces where people can connect, heal, and thrive.
Advocating for policies that address the root causes of addiction—poverty, mental health, and lack of opportunity.
Hope for the Future
I believe we can create a new golden age. It won’t look exactly like Clark Park in 1985, but it can be just as vibrant, just as full of life. It starts with each of us—choosing to care, choosing to act.
Let’s make sure the kids of today have the chance to look back on their own golden age someday, with fondness and gratitude.
Thanks for listening. And thank you, Nelly, for giving me the chance to share this.
Stay strong,
Tom Cruise
Nelly’s Closing Note:
Tom’s words remind us of what’s at stake—and what’s possible. Let’s honor the past by building a better future. Share your thoughts and stories in the comments below. Together, we can make a difference.
Joe’s Reflection: Forced Psychiatric Drug Injections and Revelation 9
Joe Jukic sat with his friends at the coffee shop, the weight of a topic heavy on his heart. The conversation turned to forced psychiatric drug injections, a practice that had deeply troubled him for years. He took a deep breath and began to share his thoughts, weaving together his understanding of Revelation 9:5-6 and his personal experiences.
The Sting of Torment
“Revelation 9:5-6,” Joe began, his voice steady but impassioned. “It says, ‘They were not allowed to kill them but only to torment them for five months; the torment they inflicted was like that of a scorpion when it stings a person. During that time these people will seek death but will not find it, and they will long to die but death will escape them.’
“That passage has always struck me,” Joe continued. “It describes a kind of torment that’s worse than death—a suffering so profound that people beg for release but can’t find it. And you know what it reminds me of? Forced psychiatric drug injections.”
The group leaned in, sensing the depth of his conviction.
The Modern Scorpion Sting
Joe explained how these injections, often administered against a person’s will, could cause severe side effects:
Physical torment: Restlessness, uncontrollable movements, and debilitating fatigue.
Mental anguish: Numbness, cognitive fog, and the loss of one’s sense of self.
Spiritual despair: Feeling trapped, powerless, and disconnected from God and others.
“It’s like being stung by a scorpion,” Joe said. “Not in a literal sense, but in the way it torments your body and soul. You’re alive, but you don’t feel like you’re living. It’s a kind of prison.”
Stonewalling and Resistance
Joe shared his frustration with the medical system. “When you try to question these doctors, they stonewall you. They hide behind their training, their degrees, their protocols. They act like they know what’s best, but they don’t listen. They don’t see the person—they only see the diagnosis.”
Taylor Swift, listening intently, asked, “So what can we do? How do we fight back against something like that?”
Faith, Prayer, and Healing
Joe smiled faintly. “It’s not easy, but I believe there’s hope. First, we have to pray—pray for wisdom, for strength, for healing. Prayer connects us to God, and He’s the ultimate healer.
“Second, we need to take care of our bodies. Vitamins, nutrition, exercise—they’re not magic, but they help. When your body is strong, your mind and spirit can be stronger too.
“And third, we have to educate ourselves and others. Knowledge is power. If we understand what these drugs do, we can make better choices—and maybe even help others avoid the same pain.”
A Call for Compassion
Nelly Furtado added, “It sounds like we also need to advocate for change. People shouldn’t be forced into treatments that destroy them. There has to be a better way.”
Joe nodded. “Absolutely. We need compassion, not coercion. Healing, not torment. The system won’t change overnight, but if enough of us speak out, maybe we can make a difference.”
Finding Hope in Revelation
As the conversation wound down, Joe reflected on the passage from Revelation. “It’s a warning, yes, but it’s also a call to action. We’re not meant to just sit back and accept suffering. We’re meant to fight for justice, for healing, for hope.
“And maybe,” he added, “just maybe, we can help turn the torment of today into the healing of tomorrow.”
Nelly Furtado’s Plea to Taylor Swift: A Warning About Psychiatric Drugs
Nelly Furtado sat across from Taylor Swift, her eyes filled with a mix of concern and urgency. The conversation had taken a serious turn as they discussed the pressures Taylor faced in the industry and the subtle, insidious ways psychiatrists often pushed dangerous drugs onto artists.
“I need to tell you something,” Nelly began, her voice trembling slightly. “I’ve been where they want to take you, Taylor. I’ve been on those drugs, and I wouldn’t wish that experience on anyone—not even my worst enemy.”
Nelly’s Struggles with Psychiatric Drugs
Nelly explained how she had been prescribed psychiatric medications during a challenging period in her life. “At first, they said it was for my own good. That it would help me manage stress, anxiety, and everything else. But those pills—they didn’t heal me. They numbed me. They stole my creativity, my energy, my connection to God.
“And the side effects,” she added, shaking her head. “Weight gain, fatigue, brain fog—it felt like I was trapped in my own body, unable to escape.”
The Warning in Taylor’s Fortnite Video
“I saw your Fortnite video,” Nelly said, leaning forward. “I could see the symbolism, the way the psychiatrists are circling you, trying to force their so-called solutions onto you. It’s subtle, but it’s there. They want to control you, Taylor. Don’t let them.”
Taylor looked surprised but intrigued. “You think that’s what they’re doing?”
Nelly nodded. “Absolutely. They don’t see you as a person. They see you as a product—something to be managed, not someone to be cared for.”
Quoting Revelation in the Original Greek
Nelly pulled out her phone and opened a Bible app, switching to the original Greek text. “This is what Revelation says about drugs and the systems that push them. In Revelation 9:21, it talks about how people ‘did not repent of their murders, their sorceries, their sexual immorality, or their thefts.’
“That word, ‘sorceries,’ is ‘pharmakeia’ in Greek. It’s where we get the word ‘pharmacy.’ It refers to the use of drugs to manipulate, control, or harm others.
“And in Revelation 18:23,” she continued, “it says, ‘For your merchants were the great men of the earth, and by your sorceries (pharmakeia) all the nations were deceived.’ It’s a warning about the power of these substances—and the industries behind them.”
A Plea for Taylor’s Well-Being
Nelly reached out and took Taylor’s hand. “You don’t need their drugs, Taylor. You’re strong, you’re brilliant, and you’re connected to something greater. Don’t let them take that away from you.”
Taylor looked down at their hands, then back at Nelly. “Thank you for telling me this. I’ve felt the pressure, but I didn’t know how to put it into words. You’ve given me a lot to think about.”
A Path Forward
The two women sat in silence for a moment, the weight of the conversation settling over them. Finally, Taylor spoke. “If I don’t take their drugs, what do I do instead? How do I cope?”
Nelly smiled softly. “Faith, prayer, and community. Surround yourself with people who love you for who you are, not for what you can do for them. Take care of your body with good food, exercise, and rest. And remember—you’re not alone. You’ve got me, Joe, and so many others who care about you.”
A Shared Mission
As the conversation ended, both women felt a renewed sense of purpose. They knew the fight against the pressures of the industry wouldn’t be easy, but they also knew they had each other—and their faith—to guide them.
Joe and Nelly’s Vision: A Portuguese Sanctuary for Healing
Joe Jukic leaned back in his chair, sipping a steaming cup of espresso as he and Nelly Furtado sat overlooking the Atlantic Ocean in the Algarve. The idea had started as a casual conversation but quickly grew into a shared dream: creating a haven for artists and stars, a place where they could heal away from the pressures of fame and the pharmaceutical industry.
“Portugal,” Joe said, gesturing to the serene coastline, “is the perfect place for this. The country already has a reputation for progressive health policies and a deep connection to nature. What better place to build an orthomolecular clinic?”
Nelly nodded, her eyes lighting up. “And it’s my homeland. I’d love to give back by creating a sanctuary where people can truly heal—mind, body, and spirit. But we’ll need the right team to make it work.”
The Vision: A Healing Sanctuary
Joe and Nelly envisioned a clinic unlike any other, blending modern orthomolecular medicine with natural therapies and personalized care.
For the Carnivorous Stars:
“We should bring in Dr. Paul Saladino,” Joe suggested. “He’s a surfing psychiatrist and one of the leading advocates for a carnivore diet. He could help stars who thrive on high-quality animal-based nutrition.”
Nelly laughed. “Surfing psychiatrists? That sounds very Portuguese already. But seriously, I’ve seen how the carnivore diet has helped people. It could be life-changing for some of our guests.”
For the Herbivorous Stars:
“And for those who lean plant-based,” Nelly added, “we can bring in the Gerson family. Their approach to healing through juicing and organic plant-based therapies has been proven to work for decades.”
Joe nodded. “Exactly. Whether someone’s a carnivore or an herbivore, we’ll offer them the best care tailored to their needs. No one-size-fits-all solutions here.”
Sanctuary for the Stars
The clinic would cater to artists, actors, musicians, and other creatives—people who often felt the crushing weight of public scrutiny and industry demands.
“This isn’t just about physical health,” Nelly said. “It’s about giving people a safe space to reconnect with themselves. No paparazzi, no pressure, just peace.”
Joe added, “And no forced psychiatric drugs. Instead, we’ll focus on orthomolecular medicine—healing through high doses of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. Combine that with faith, prayer, and the beauty of Portugal, and we’ve got something revolutionary.”
Building the Dream
They discussed the logistics of making their vision a reality:
Location: A coastal estate in the Algarve or Azores, surrounded by nature and far from prying eyes.
Team: Alongside Saladino and the Gerson family, they’d recruit naturopaths, therapists, and spiritual counselors.
Outreach: “We’ll invite stars who need sanctuary,” Nelly said. “Taylor, for one. And others who’ve struggled with addiction, burnout, or just the weight of fame.”
Funding: “We’ll need investors who believe in this vision,” Joe noted. “But I think we can find them. This isn’t just a clinic—it’s a movement.”
A Shared Mission
As the sun dipped below the horizon, Joe raised his glass to Nelly. “To Portugal, to healing, and to giving people a second chance.”
Nelly clinked her glass against his. “And to creating a place where stars can shine again—without being burned out by the world.”
The dream was big, but so were their hearts. Together, they were ready to make it a reality.

Taylor Swift’s Tears and Joe’s Revelation: The Dark History of Psychiatric Abuse
Taylor Swift sat in a quiet corner of the room, her head in her hands. Tears streamed down her face as she recounted her harrowing experience in a psychiatric ward. Joe Jukic and Nelly Furtado sat across from her, listening intently. The weight of her story hung in the air like a storm cloud.
“It was… it was the worst time of my life,” Taylor began, her voice trembling. “They said I needed help, but all they did was lock me away. The walls were gray, the lights harsh, and the people—they treated me like I wasn’t even human.”
Taylor’s Story: The Horror of the Psych Ward
She wiped her tears and continued, her voice cracking. “I wasn’t allowed to leave. They took my phone, my freedom, my dignity. Every time I tried to explain how I felt, they just upped the dosage. Those drugs—they didn’t help me. They numbed me, turned me into a zombie. I couldn’t think, couldn’t sing, couldn’t even pray.
“And the people there,” she added, shuddering. “They weren’t all patients. Some were just… trapped. Like me. They weren’t sick—they were broken by the system, by life. And instead of helping us, the ward just made everything worse.”
Joe’s Insight: The Psikhushka of the Soviet Union
Joe leaned forward, his face serious. “Taylor, what you went through—it’s not just a personal tragedy. It’s part of a larger history of abuse. In the Soviet Union, they had something called the Psikhushka. These were psychiatric hospitals, but they weren’t for healing. They were for control.”
Taylor looked up, her tears momentarily forgotten. “Control? What do you mean?”
“In the Soviet Union,” Joe explained, “the government used psychiatric hospitals as prisons. If someone spoke out against the regime, they’d label them ‘mentally ill’ and lock them up. They’d drug them, isolate them, break them—physically and mentally. It wasn’t about health; it was about silencing dissent.”
Nelly chimed in, her voice soft but firm. “They wanted to discredit their ideas, make the world think they were crazy. And the drugs—they weren’t medicine. They were tools of oppression.”
The Parallels Today
Taylor’s eyes widened. “That’s exactly how I felt. Like they wanted to silence me, control me. But this isn’t the Soviet Union. How can this still happen?”
Joe sighed. “It’s not just history, Taylor. It’s happening now, all over the world. The methods might be different, but the goal is the same: to suppress, to control, to break people who don’t fit into the system’s mold.”
Nelly added, “And it’s not just political dissent anymore. It’s anyone who doesn’t conform—artists, thinkers, anyone who challenges the status quo.”
Finding Hope and Healing
Taylor took a deep breath, her tears slowing. “So what do we do? How do we fight this?”
Joe placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. “We start by sharing stories like yours. By exposing the truth. And by creating alternatives—places where people can heal without being controlled or silenced. That’s why Nelly and I are building the clinic in Portugal. It’s not just a sanctuary; it’s a statement.”
Nelly nodded. “And we stand together, Taylor. You’re not alone. Your voice is powerful, and your story can inspire change.”
A New Resolve
Taylor wiped her face and managed a small smile. “Thank you. For listening, for understanding. I felt so alone, but now… now I feel like I can fight back.”
Joe smiled back. “You’re not alone, Taylor. And you’re stronger than you know.”
As the three of them sat together, the storm cloud began to lift. Taylor’s tears had given way to resolve, and together, they pledged to turn her pain into purpose, shining a light on the darkness and offering hope to those still trapped.
