Shhhh! Digital Media: 02/11/26

Welcome to the sci-fi fantasy electronic and alternative opera... For your information, Shhhh! Digital Media is in no way associated with the Salvation Army or any other religious or ideological organization. I myself have no association with them as well. There are people trying to sell you a much different picture of who I actually am and what I'm about than is the truth. I do not live or work in a homeless shelter with all due respect, nor do I live or work in a prison. I am an advocate for the charities represented here on Shhhh! Digital Media, but I am not a volunteer. I choose to do the best I can, where and when I can. I've never worked as a security guard in my life, but it is an honest way to make a living for an honest person, especially if they don't take the identity of other people. Shhhh! Digital Media is not located in New York, or anywhere in the United States, but perhaps once more in my life, I'd certainly like to visit from my home City of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. How's that for the business of marketing my home city?

Thank You Apple!

Hello again. Brian Joseph Johns here.

I've been an iTunes user for years, and had my main account (under my alternate email fav.inbox@gmail.com) hacked by another user who apparently had been using my iTunes account at another location, possibly in the same city as mine or somewhere else.

It was an account for which I'd lost the answers to my security questions as I never use the actual answers to security questions as they can be gotten to by other means such as social engineering or Open Source intelligence.

Authenticity: Butterfly Dragon

I've trained formally to an intermediate level up until ten years ago in various martial arts including Goju Ryu/Goju Jujitsu Ryu, Aikido, Tai Kwon Do and Tai Chi. I am *not* an expert and have never touted *myself* as being one, but I do my best to represent the knowledge, tradition and moral compass of martial arts expertise available on the internet and throughout the world and in the context of a story. Remember, I'm a writer and artist, both creating and echoing a world. Brian Joseph Johns

Authenticity: Tales of the Sanctum/Era of the Spellbound

Given the nature of the very concepts of magic, esotericism and mysticism, authenticity is a very difficult framework to apply to those who write about those topics. As is the case with Butterfly Dragon, I draw from a life experience that took me in many different directions, and often close to the heights and depths of those paradigms. Certainly enough so to have an imagination and opinion about how those sorts of things play out existentially as part of a larger vision by those who practice such branches of the interpretation of the nature of reality. I'm certain that those well versed in these arts probably watch from the comfort of their darkness and light. I bid you however to remember that I'm simply a writer and artist both creating and echoing a world. Brian Joseph Johns
