Regime change in Venezuela reflects an alarming overreach, as Trump signals an intent to impose U.S. control that erodes national sovereignty instead of supporting genuine democratic self-determination. For him, it appears driven by money and power, raising concerns that Colombia - or other nations - could be targeted in the future.

Over the years, I have read clients living in Venezuela, most of whom are every day people simply trying to build a decent life - with a few local politicians mixed into my clientele. Once Nicolas Maduro came into power on April 19, 2013 everything changed.

My readings began to center on an unmistakable theme - people sensing it was time to flee the country, while others - often older or more established - felt unable or unwilling to leave. The result was fear, uncertainty, and a deepening division within families. In recent years, my Venezuelan clients have been few and far between - most having relocated to Southern Florida.

What did I foresee through the years? A dictatorship that eventually would be ousted from power under chaotic conditions with the overthrow of Madura and his regime. And so it has come to pass ... as Nicolas Maduro and his wife were arrested - arriving Saturday night to stand trial in the southern district of New York - not the first crime lord from South America to do so.

Maduro is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn while awaiting trial on federal charges. I guess that makes him my neighbor along with Luigi Mangione and former inmate Sean Diddy Combs. As Trump would say, "... only the best people." Let's just call them the most notorious.

Venezuelan diaspora communities in places like South Florida and abroad have shown mixed emotions - from celebration among some opposition supporters to deep concern about stability, civility war, and civilian safety. The situation is ongoing and chaotic inside Venezuela - with reports of explosions, military movements, and unclear conditions on the ground.

The world is watching closely to see how these events unfold, not just in Venezuela and the United States, but across the global game board, where leaders like Vladimir Putin and China's Xi Jinping will be calculating how regime change elsewhere could impact their own grip on power.

Trump's interest in Canada and Greenland (natural resources) raises the question of whether his current expansion in South America will continue - seeking control of countries led by dictators.

Trump has described his push into South America not as Monroe Doctrine, but as "Ronroe Doctrine" - a rebranding that raises more questions than it answers. Saturday Venezuela's Maduro's regime fell. Does Trump already have his sights on Columbia?

As I see it, in his mind Trump aims to sweep away what he calls corrupt regimes and rebuild nations by his design - positioning himself as a global strongman while profiting from the process. It echoes his vision for Gaza - gut everything, rebuild from scratch, and ultimately stamp his name across the landscape.

Government change and rebuilding take years - often decades - lest we forget that climate change ultimately calls the shots, sweeping away plans, borders, and ambitions alike. As floods and disasters increasingly dominate our headlines, the narrative begins to feel apocalyptic. Physical reality exponentially emerges as the end-time stories we've heard about.

In the age of technology and artificial intelligence clarity brings understanding to the nature and destiny of this simulated reality.

The spiral of time tightens its grip on human consciousness - allowing understanding that Trump's role in all of this is part of a Master Plan created by the simulation - whether as a force for creation or destruction - awakening souls caught up in its emotional maelstrom (spiraling vortex).

Without question there is a bigger game at play - something that goes beyond Trump's power, understanding, and ability to manifest consolidation of a new world order.

As 2026 emerges - I see him as a pawn in a game - following the design (designation) of his programming to exponentially move destiny forward.

Tonight, the Critics Choice Awards step into the spotlight - less about spectacle for spectacle's sake, and more about giving credit where it's due. Voted on by critics who spend the year watching, rewatching, and debating every frame, these awards tend to feel like a thoughtful pause in the middle of Hollywood's louder season.

The Critics Choice Awards often act as a bellwether, hinting at what might unfold at the Oscars while still leaving room for surprise. They're known for celebrating performances and storytelling that might not always dominate the box office but leave a lasting impression. It's where sharp writing, daring direction, and quietly powerful acting get their moment.

Beyond the trophies, tonight is really about momentum - careers gaining lift, films and series finding wider audiences, and conversations shifting. It's a reminder that storytelling still matters, especially when it challenges, comforts, or reflects the times we're living in. So while the red carpet will shimmer and acceptance speeches will run long, the heart of the night belongs to the work itself - and the critics who champion it.

I asked ChatGPT to create a New Year's Image of how it saw me. The first thing I noticed was the 'All Seeing Eye' above me as I walked down the Yellow Brick Road - home of the WiZard of OZ (Z) - and through the symbolic 'door' into a new reality (reboot) for 2026.

Fireworks to my right - the moon (feminine energies) and the Spiral of Creation to my left - the color purple set against a backwash of blue and gold (colors of my story Sarah and Alexander) - complete the simulated image.

The 12 Pyramids of Thoth are soaring again in Crystalinks' stats. I added music at the top of each file. Click the arrow. Listen. Connect. Close your eyes. Go there. Later you might be guided to The Emerald Tablets of Thoth always a fan favorite.

January 3, 2026. Just sharing the first video of the new year taken from my terrace this morning as I captured the first Full Wold Supermoon. Also highlight are the Quadrantid Meteor Showers, along with the return of the purple planet referenced in the early days of Crystalinks.

Here comes the first full moon of 2026 - appearing big and bright in the night sky as if keeping watch over the falling Quadrantid meteors passing by. The energies of this rare double event may resonate with those attuned to it, though not everyone will feel its influence. A full moon signifies coming full circle - letting go to create space for something new to emerge as the new year begins.

Quadrantid Meteor Showers Peak

Look up as above meets below descending from the sky. Ancient civilizations considered meteor showers either harbingers of doom or ushering in a new destiny.

As the Crystal Ball dropped in Times Square, ushering in 2026, thousands of spectators stood in the freezing cold near the Brooklyn Bridge after a fake message notified them to expect fireworks. Disappointed they went home ... but not far away in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn I captured this video of fireworks by the Verrazano Bridge.

The Spiral of Time guides the stars (souls) on their journey in this 'one year' where many will remember the beginning and the end code. 2026 = 10 = 1.

If you're someone who likes to write things down - how about creating a message to be placed in a time capsule of your choosing as we enter Earth Year 2026. [Remember none of us are from here - just temporarily partaking in an experiment.]

You can date your message to be opened one year from today and on. Find a safe place to hide it on its journey into the future. Ideas will go through your mind until you find whatever messages you wish to convey on this day to your future self or whoever opens it. Be creative.
