Our democracy is designed to speak truth to power.

Trump in power is like a split-screen - The man who 'would be king' destroying democracy in America versus the man who wants a Nobel Peace Prize for creating peace around the world - destroy anything that gets in his way to accomplish both.

What an amazing moment in world history. Now the world waits and watches for what comes next.


Gaza After the War


Something Trump once said about rebuilding Gaza has always stayed with me because in many ways I agree with him.


This morning I watched footage of Palestinians returning to what's left of their homes - a vast rubble-filled landscape with no clear path to repair or recovery - as 'winter' approaches.


Trump's proposal was stark - gutter everything, collapse the tunnels, and rebuild from scratch.


When you think about it ... that is the algorithm in which we experience ... destruction and recovery ... throughout the procession of time.


Trump's idea of transforming Gaza into a seaside resort might sound extreme - but the essence of his message was that true reconstruction requires starting over completely - not just rebuilding structures but rebuilding society itself.


A functioning Palestinian state must emerge - one that's stable, well-governed, and committed to progress. That means expanding freedoms for women, improving education, fostering peace, and leaving behind societal limitations of the past.


It may sound like a 'pipe dream,' but I have clients who live and work in the Middle East - many wealthy in the oil industry - dedicated to making that vision a reality through 'pipe lines' - plans waiting for their time to manifest. Are they anticipating drama? That's a given.


It will take immense resources, time, and resilience - all of which may run out before the work is done. Yet, despite everything, the hope for a brighter future still burns in the hearts of millions.

Nobel Prize in economics awarded to Mokyr, Aghion and Howitt for explaining innovation-driven growth


The prestigious award, formally known as the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, is the final prize to be given out this year and is worth 11 million Swedish crowns ($1.2 million). The laureates have taught us that sustained growth cannot be taken for granted. Economic stagnation, not growth, has been the norm for most of human history. Their work shows that we must be aware of, and counteract, threats to continued growth.




October 13, 2025 - Columbus Day


The Columbus Day Parade in NYC has been canceled due to Weather.


DNA Reveals Surprise Twist About Christopher Columbus' heritage. He may not be of Italian heritage after all, but was actually born somewhere in Spain to parents of Jewish ancestry.


Columbus Day celebrates the arrival of Christopher Columbus to the Americas on October 12, 1492 as the future American Experiment moved across the Atlantic to its final chapter. Columbus and his crew's arrival in the New World initiated the colonization of the Americas by Spain, followed in the ensuing centuries by other European powers, as well as the transfer of plants, animals, culture and history, religion, human populations, technology - not to forget certain deadly viruses and bacteria, such as smallpox, measles, typhus, and cholera - between the Old World and the New World.


This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny.


On Columbus Day we go to a theory that postulates Columbus was guided to the Americas by alien intervention. It takes us to the October 11, 1492 Light Sighting noted as a wax candle that went up and down. What he saw would be called a USO as it came from below the sea.



The 1492 light sighting was witnessed by some crew members of Santa Maria, Pinta and possibly Nina shortly before the landing on Guanahani. The light was reported in Columbus' journal, Ferdinand Columbus' Vita del Amiraglio (The Life of the Admiral), the proceedings of the Pleitos Colombinos (the long lawsuit involving the heirs of Columbus) and some other sources. Columbus described the light as "a small wax candle that rose and lifted up, which to few seemed to be an indication of land". He received the royal reward for the sighting. His son Ferdinand also characterized it as a candle, that went up and down.


Columbus wrote: There exists the possibility of never leaving this legendary sea. My compass acts strangely. This sea seems to have the ability to draw things in from all over the Atlantic like a catch-basin.

Miracle of the Sun - Fatima Prophecies - Marian Apparitions - All Projected Illusion


Mary says, "The world is going to end soon!"


Many would agree, but it's not the world that ends, it's the simulation.


Mother Mary's message is a Catch-22 about the world ending if humanity doesn't shape up. I've read that prophetic message, in various forms, over and over again. I've heard it spoken by shaman and others along the way. Makes no sense.


Reality check ... We are programmed as bipolar projections or inserts in a simulation, and therefore cannot solve the problems of the world, no matter who we are and how hard we try. We can only alleviate them for a time.


Mother Mary is seen as projected illusion, much like ghosts. It is the way spirits see physical reality through the consciousness lens of time aka the grids that make this all seem real ... along with emotions. Without emotions none of it would exist for it is all in your mind.


What 'danced' in front of the sun? a UFO (UAP)?


As we look at today's world - no one can fix the issues - with luck and good programming - they find a temporary fix or band-aid until the next.


With things coming to closure - the threats are more powerful than ever before. Therefore the evolved human (not trapped by emotions) - combined with artificial intelligence - realizes there is more they need to know. They eventually arrive at simulation theory, not just intellectually, but as truth.


The part of metaphysical healing modalities that I find most deceptive - implies that a permanent fix can be had when actually it's all about someone's programming. If someone is programmed to end their dysfunctional behavior or whatever ... they simply will ... no matter what, when, where, or why.
