The Unraveling

Hi ElaineG, 

You are correct!

Now the useless orange democracy-sucking mosquito has announced that the Constitution (which he's never read and couldn't tell you the first thing about) allows him to do whatever he wants.

If it walks like a dictator and talks like a dictator...

Every day with this a**hole is becoming more intolerable.

Polarberry, I  agree.  Just can't bring myself to click "like". When I meditated back in 2016 about Trump awaiting the Electoral College vote, I remember seeing a baby lion - a toddler fascist that  power would cause him to morph like the Hulk into something horrible.  He will self destruct though. 

Bluebelle, do you still see DT, Jr. being arrested in Aug? (or hopefully sooner)

Polarberry,  Funny you should ask, I've just been looking at some of these predictions and don't see confirmation at this point.  Timelines change.  I do however, think that judicial investigations of his children and Kushner will play a role into backing Trump into a corner.  

This morning when I looked at Trump's next six months, I saw his mental state declining in the month of June.  Then I saw him basking in the glow of his July 4th celebration (he was delusionally basking, it didn't correspond with the reality of the event.)  In August, I saw him looking down at the Middle East and feel that there's something afoot there, probably military.  I saw the same for September, but also Putin manipulating him as a puppet.   By November, Trump is stuck.  In fact, I threw the Hanged Man for him in November, feeling that his deeds are catching up to him.  For December, I threw the Fool of Trumps.  He's oblivious about how bad his situation really is and how badly things are going to go for him.

Back to timelines-during channeling a while back, I saw Trump gone in August.  Was that a preconception on my part?  Wishful thinking?  Or is there a major event coming in August?  I threw cards on him this morning that shows him still around after August.  I guess we just wait and see.  

I do feel strongly that Trump will be stopped and that the tide is turning against him.  It's a slow, agonizing, chaotic experience we are all watching day to day.  

I've been wanting to write about the economy and stock market after reading here that people are making financial decisions based on what I've seen.  (Kelly Clover, I'm looking at you.  You have made the right decision for you.)  In general though, looking forward, I would say that prudence is key, not overreaction and panic.  Pay off debt.  Save so you have reserves.  Everyone should do this anyway.  

On a personal note, we follow the advice of a financial manager and have a strategy to protect investments.  Several months ago, our advisor spent half an hour cautioning us about a coming downturn.  We are not pulling out of the market and instead over the past two years, have moved out of high risk stocks into more secure investments.  

If you look at the example of 2008-2009, the market crashed.  People panicked and got out of the market, however many did that just as the market was approaching bottom.  The people who stayed in the market were able to recoup their losses by the steady rise as the market turned upward.  I'm not smart enough to time the market, even if I get a gut feeling about it.  Many people who were out of the market and fearful, never caught up and their lives are affected to this day.  The bottom line for me is that we are all in this together and, ultimately, my faith is in the work ethic, ingenuity and drive of American people.  

There is an article published in the Washington Press this AM about multiple law agencies opening investigations into money laundering.  One of the banks is Deuche (?) and their connection to the orange moron spawn and leaches. ie Jarad.  Both morons and turtle are polling very low right now.  Also the moron administration argued in a Texas court that the government does not have to furnish the children with toothpaste or soap and has the right to lock them up in cages to sleep on concrete floors.  I have always felt that his treatment of the children is going to be something that bites all these assholes in the butt.  I truly believe they are not only being abused but sold to some of the rich psychos that are friends of morons.

I also read that there is a fight going on between the spawn as to who gets to be the next leader after daddy.  Both Jr and the princess want the job.  Jr is trying to show his worth by making fun of Biden for not having cured cancer yet.  It takes a real man and gallant leader to make fun of a man whose son died of cancer.  Moron went on one of his rants about how he was going to cure every illness there is.  Should be interesting since he cut the budget for medical research to the bone.

On a lighter note if you want a laugh follow Bette Midler on twitter.  She is posting poems that are funny as heck.  There once was a senator named Mitch who was realy a son of a bitch.  She did one on wife # 3 that was really funny too.

This may or may not fit in with the unraveling, but Rachel Maddow has spent the past two nights laying out some incredibly frightening (in a "holy shit are these people really that stupid?" way) red string story about the Russia/Butina/Pence/Andrea Thompson links, as well as the Sec of Defense nominee who had to withdraw when it was discovered he'd been keeping domestic violence secrets. Literally everyone around this administration and put forth by this administration is either bumbling or corrupt or horrible or all of the above, and they all think their secrets are either safe or don't matter. It's like they don't understand how government works, and don't know any true, good, worthy people ... (that was sarcasm.)

I continue to feel — this particular intuition that is so strong it operates like a knowing—that Mango and his family as well as a number of people he has appointed and the Turtle are still beholden to the Russian Kleptocracy and share back channels with them.   Rethuglican leadership know as well.

Perhaps this is old hat by now, but I want to make sure that we don’t forget that some of us feel with our gut that it’s all still going on.    

 I believe mango and some of his people have set up back channel communications with the Kleptocracy and are sharing national security intelligence with the K and taking orders from the the big K crime boss.   

Back in 2015 I had a vision during a local Read the Future night of a black shark swimming secretly around over a map of Eastern Europe and the Middle  East.   I thought at the time that the vision was telling me that Putin was up to something.   The vision also reminded me that  ISIS was planning some hits, which they did carry out, but I never felt ISIS and the Kremlin were connected.  Then one of my students, during another Read the Future night, got a vision that "a bear was coming right in to our living room," in July 2016.  When Wikileaks  leaked the DNC emails in July 2016, I felt connected to Putin and those earlier visions coming true.

I also felt and still feel that there’s a back channel set up with people close to Mango.  Remember that the FBI recorded the Russian ambassador Kislyack saying that Jared Kushner  had asked for a back channel. I thought I read somewhere that Erickson, Butina's bf and close friend to Andrea Thompson and her husband, also tried to set up a back channel with the Russians, but I can't confirm it.

Both on the American side had high level security clearance/access to classified info. And there are many others with this access that we never even read about.      

Will this information come to light? I don’t know.  Why didn’t Mueller find it?  Perhaps it is redacted and also no direct evidence.   

But I feel Maria Butina was the tip of the iceberg and the Trump Undersecretary of US Arms Control Andrea Thompson is just one more connection to a vast infiltration that also involves a powerful section of the Republican Party.  Remember that Thompson failed to disclose her connection to Butina when she was confirmed even though Butina was well know as a Russian agent at the time. 

I haven’t watched Maddow in over a year because well frankly she’s often right and I get too upset at the things she sees. She rubs into my consciousness the disturbing news that I know is true and then I can’t function so well afterwards.      The woman is not only thorough in her research, but she has the intuitive gift to put the pieces together.   

My biggest concern is with the election.  Cyber distorted videos of candidates like the Namcy Pelosi slurred speech video will surface right before the election and take out a leading democratic female candidate.  Then there are the cyber hacks of key election precincts. 

Lest people get too depressed about this, I also feel that we might see a blue Congress which would cause Mango to resign, were he to get reelected, and seek a Nixon style pardon. But more on that later.   

Thank you so much, Jeanne, for your wisdom and compassion.  I completely agree that Trump is the tip of an international crime syndicate, which I learned quite a bit about reading House of Trump, House of Putin, by Craig Unger (Vanity Fair reporter). Also listen to podcasts by Sarah Kendzior (Gaslit Nation) and Fernand Anand (Strange Days). Mueller gave a speech several years ago about this mafia-style crime organization. My personal belief as to why Pelosi isn't going forward on impeachment is that she KNOWS there will be horrific repercussions, including hits on members of congress. I know that sounds really out there, but based on what I've read, that's what I believe.  The dark forces are SO VERY DARK.  Also   Dark Money, by Jane Mayer and Democracy in Chains, by Nancy McLean. 

I agree Jeanne, I also believe the Russian connection is still in place.  I also believe the bigglyest mistake that moron has made is thinking putin is his buddy.  Putin has a history of playing people than causing them pain when he's done with them.  Moron thinks everyone that "likes" him is a good guy but maybe they are just good actors.

I haven't watched the news of any kind for two years.  I will be making an exception next week to watch the Democrat debates.  I will be interested in what they all have to say.

I’m curious if you see that anyone in government feels or knows the extent to what is going on. Is there an Edward Snowden or does mueller actually suspect how bad it is? I am often surprised by journalists who are more liberal but seem conservative on how deep this could go. It ends up painting trump as bumbling and not dangerous.

I can't get a sense of Mueller specifically; he confuses me.  My gut tells me that one or more people in the government know, but also understand the danger.  So they are treading lightly, unsure of how to address and/or expose it.    

We need another Reality Winner ... someone willing to stand up for what's right, and bring the receipts. That poor woman is in jail for espionage, and for less than what Snowden did.

For the past week or so I’ve been staying away from most news items, and even took a break from reading political comments on this site.  I’ve even stayed away from watching Rachel Maddow, who I love and can usually watch without feeling crazy.  I also find that this community is so often on target politically, that it can sometimes feel overwhelming.  I was becoming much too anxious, and needed a break.

That being said -- I’m catching up.  I agree with so much that’s been written here.  I am in total agreement with those who believe that T, his kids, many in his administration, and many in Congress (that especially includes you, Snapping Turtle) are up to their eyeballs in Russian shenanigans.  I got goosebumps/chills when Jeanne mentioned about the back channels.  It’s so dark that I actually feel dizzy when I dwell on it. 

I too am disappointed in Mueller.  Maybe that’s why I can’t read him.  He confuses me, and I’m tired of trying to figure him out.  And we never should have placed him on a pedestal to begin with.  But this stuff is scary, and we needed a hero.  As Jeanne commented, maybe we are the heroes we needed.

For as dark as all of this is, I actually feel renewed energy and hope in the core of my being.  I initially chucked it up to decompressing and taking better care of myself, but I don’t believe that’s the entire story.   I feel a spiritual cleansing and renewal is on the horizon.  The crap is coming to the surface, for everyone to see.  The Rethugs can hide it from view for a brief period of time, and the Dems can delay it by dragging their feet, but it can’t be stopped.  It’s moving forward, even if we can’t see it in the present time.  I can feel it – my body is even vibrating as I say this.   The Universe demands it.

Yes, yes, and yes deetoo! Ever since the beginning of June I've felt like "something" in the collective is beginning to shift gear. With me it also started with a renewed energy in my being, which I first attributed to recovering from surgery. But ever since the Mueller press conference, it feels like more and more people are privately resolving to turn to embodied activism and being the change they want to see in society. And it's not just politics. At the read the future night two weeks ago, I envisioned that by the holiday season, people would be sick and tired of the whole charade of being "happy consumers." Instead we'll be openly hungering for a totally new social contract, and Jeanne's recently posted 2019 channeled predictions seem align with some of this.

Right now I've been reading works of fiction that address healing and spiritual cleansing. It just seems like the appropriate thing to do. I just started Ceremony by Leslie Marmon Silko, and I got goosebumps when I finished Silko's introduction to the text; she's speaking directly to the crises of our time. 

I hope so, deetoo and Coyote.  I am really down and disgusted today; feeling hopeless.  It doesn't seem at the moment like anything is going to knock these nasty thugs from power.  It is a huge evil game that involves Saudi Arabia, Russia, and scum players like Kushner, McConnell, & many others.  They are in it for money and power and will cover for one another forever because they are all in it.  I feel like my country is gone.

I've been so looking forward to summer because there are and were so many Trump downfall predictions that now seem like they are being pushed back, timewise.  I know predictions aren't exact but they've kept me going. The wheels of justice may grind but excruciatingly slowly.  Sorry for the vent.  ☹ 

i still feel the same way about Mueller as i did when i posted this, back in May:

@polarberry,

I hear you and completely understand.  While I feel in my core being that we are turning a corner, at this moment I don’t see much outward manifestation.  To the contrary, it all looks more extreme, more out of control.  Where we are now is really awful.  People are suffering.  Those responsible are getting away with murder – in some cases, literally.  We can’t turn our backs on what’s happening, and we can’t help but feel that pain.      

So how can I be positive?  Wishful thinking?  I don’t know where these feelings are coming from, but I trust them.  And since I tend to be cynical about some things, it’s not wishful thinking.  How can I know this, when I don’t yet have proof?  In much the same way that I know there is a god, goddess, supreme power, or higher life force – however you wish to define it.  I just know.  It feels like a rumbling at the bottom of the earth.   And I feel that rumbling in my bones.

What I can’t say is how this all will play out.  Maybe that’s why we can’t be 100% sure about the timing of some of our predictions – perhaps too many unforeseen variables.  I’m new to intuitive reading, and although I often trust many of my hunches and feelings, I’m not very good with timing things.  My sense is, at the time that we read, we’re on a particular energetic path – sometimes best-case scenario, sometimes worst-case (when it concerns a catastrophe).  And depending on unforeseen variables or decisions, that path can slightly change, which might affect the timing.   It’s like you’re on a highway and decide or are forced to take a detour – the detour might make the trip longer, but you eventually get back onto the main road and reach your destination.  Am I making sense here?  I could be totally off the mark, but that’s how I see it.

I now believe that it’s up to the people – not just our immediate community, but everyone.  There is no savior, no hero – only us.  We have control over how long we’ll be on this dark path.  This country belongs to us.  We have a responsibility to take care of ourselves, each other, and Mother earth, with intelligence, love and compassion.  They’re not stronger than the collective body.  And they don’t own us.

Coyote expressed it well, when she stated: 

"[S]omething” in the collective is beginning to shift gear … [M]ore and more people are privately resolving to turn to embodied activism and being the change they want to see in society … [W]e’ll be openly hungering for a totally new social contract.

So if you can, stay hopeful, take care of yourself and others, reach out when the need arises, and keep the faith.  I'll try to remember that as well, when I see that bad moon rising.

Sorry for the downer post, deetoo.  Bad day yesterday.

I'm a fighter and I do stay positive most of the time, but my level of frustration and disgust was at an all time high when I wrote that.  I had just finished reading how these sickos were denying toothbrushes and soap and clean clothes and blankets to these little children, and how the older ones are taking care of the babies and toddlers.  The people who are making comparisons to the Holocaust are damned right.

I pray that light and goodness and decency will prevail.

@polarberry,

I didn't experience your post yesterday as a downer.  I felt your deep sadness, disgust and anger.  And I'm right there with you.  The cruelty you describe is very real.  We can't and shouldn't ignore it.  And it's also ripping me up inside.   I remember when this first started happening to the refugee families at the border, I became so ill that my blood pressure became dangerously high.  I couldn't sleep, and I couldn't stop crying.  I knew that the situation was going to get much worse.  I really scared myself, knowing that I shouldn't allow my feelings to consume me.  My doctor and I talked about it, like two earthbound souls who were feeling the same things.  It was a gift, and did more for me than any medication he could have given me. 

I think that when I took a break and stayed away from the news for a while, I created some space for those quiet voices to step in.  That's when I felt what I was describing in my earlier post.  Since some of us have been feeling hopeless recently, I felt the need to share that.  

I want to be brave and see my country as it currently exits, be willing to live with my broken heart, and have the courage to change what I can.  And more importantly, to not lose hope.  Because when I either become overwhelmed, or when I give up, then I'm no good to anyone.   

I strongly sense that you are a fighter, Polarberry.   And I know that your light, goodness, and decency will prevail.
