Thank you @lynn - you answered so many questions that I have been pondering lately in my own life of seeing the people around me in a new light. I could not quite grasp the whole "power over someone else concept" nor the entire "attention accolades" thing. This really brought some things to light for me. Thank you.
You're welcome Gaining clarity! So much damage in the world is caused by people who feel powerless, and for whom negative action feels more empowering, so this is what they do. We're all susceptible to it, and at times succumb. It's the human condition. But we must fight it within ourselves and call it out when we see it. And try to defeat it.
I think we all need some comic relief. Have you heard the story about the doctored Presidential Seal? Early this week the orange troll addressed the Teen Student Action Summit, predominantly made up of his young supporters. The Summit began with a short video about T*’s rise to the WH – excuse me while I gag – and then T* bounced onto the stage to a cheering audience. Stretched across the jumbo-tron screen behind the unwitting dufus was a large presidential seal, modified as follows:
- The eagle was not the one selected by the Founding Fathers, but instead, bore a striking resemblance to the two-headed imperial bird lifted straight from the Russian coat of arms.
- Instead of holding 13 arrows - a reference to the 13 original states - the eagle in the doctored seal clutches a set of golf clubs in its left claw.
- Instead of the olive branch that appears in the right talon, the doctored bald eagle clings onto a wad of cash.
- The official seal’s motto, "E pluribus unum," which translates from Latin to "out of many, one," was swapped with a different quote in Spanish: "45 es un títere" which translates to "45 is a puppet".
The event coordinators claim that the incident was just a terrible Google search mistake. The person held responsible, a member of their audiovisual team, was fired.
The doctored seal was created by Charles Leazott, a graphic designer who had voted for Dubya twice, but who was so turned off by T**** that he created the seal as a catharsis. Leazott’s fake seal shirts are selling like crazy, so he revived the website for his brand, OneTermDonnie, where 10 percent of all sales will be directed to the ACLU. https://one-term-donnie.myshopify.com/
Attached is the clearest version I could find of the doctored seal:

The fact that the creator is a Republican just makes me giggle and gives me hope.
While I would never identify with Republicans, knowing there are those who are fighting against 45 gives me reason to believe our country will be okay.
@yogagirl, You're one of the bright lights in Kentucky. I love and admire your resilience, wisdom, kindness and irreverent humor. And over time, I believe your amazing light will help lead your fellow Kentuckians out of their self-imposed darkness.
@pacosurfer, you're so welcome. Though I'd say your view is beautifully hopeful and optimistic, not naive. ?
That said, my personal sense of what we popularly regard as spirit guides probably isn't very ...well, popular. I'll only say here that it's incredibly important imo to become both highly discerning about the nature of spirit influence, and well-developed in our capacities to trust our own wisdom, first and foremost.
@cindy Thank you for sharing your dream! I interpret it positively. There seems to be a collective of former presidents and others (e.g., Eleanor Roosevelt) working together. (I recall some of us talking about this here last fall. Maybe you were one of them?) And I wouldn't be surprised at all if the higher aspects of Presidents Carter, Bush Jr., and Clinton were joined with them—or if you were seeing a future in which they will be.
Nixon stands out to me right now as a voice in DT's head, but I can only speculate about why that is. He seems to be in a much improved condition than he would have been shortly after death, but he's not yet as far progressed as other former presidents (including Reagan, interestingly enough). Because of this, Nixon may actually be better able to connect with Trump. Not because they're similar (regardless of Nixon's crimes, I don't think they are), but because his energy is closer, relatively speaking, to the earth plane.
Or it could just be that Nixon has decided he wants the job. Maybe it's a kind of service or amends. I say this because I feel he's trying to persuade Trump to walk away. (With a dark hoard attachment, I'm not sure how effective that can be.)
As for your description of Pelosi's strategy, I tend to agree. She's waiting for greater leverage. And I sense she knows how to play T at his own game. He's been wielding the weapon of dirty information to threaten partisans to ask, "How high?" whenever he shoots them a glance. She's been dreaming of grabbing him by the balls with the whole pandora's box (taxes, deep intel, all of it) and whispering in his ear, "Jump, Donny."
I don't know whether or not she'll succeed. But I can hope.
@Yogagirl, have you listened to NPR's Embedded podcast series on Mitch McConnell? It's excellent reporting if super scary.
If I believed there were literal reptilian aliens taking over world governments, I'd have my money on Mitch as some kind of dark deputy commander. He's been eerily diabolical since at least his high school student council days. (And he was precisely as popular back then, which is to say not in the least. Says a lot about just how diabolical we're talking.)
Yeah, Donnie Dotard probably hears the voices of people who have lived in the White House before him. Such as Lincoln. MARY TODD Lincoln, that is! And. She. Do Not. Play!
Vestralux, I was delighted to see your post and have you in our midst again. You have been missed. Your post resonated with me and I thought about doing an experimental meditation and channeling as I read your visions. Will share.
Again, I am so very happy to hear from you.
No one in his inner circle. Every one was appointed for either payback or protection, or both. They are like the Hell Hounds who guard the castle so that no one can get to the head vampire.
As sickened as I was by the installation of Twitler, I was way more terrified by the Repubs having control of the Senate and by the cabinet he assembled. There has not been a more evil, corrupt and fascist collection of people in power in the USA ever, in my opinion.
I don't know how much more the country can stand. We need him to self-destruct sooner rather than later.
Hi there, lovely! It warms my heart to see your post. ...It was wild to look up and realize how many months had passed, but I've missed the warmth and intelligence of this community—no doubt.
I really look forward to reading the results of your meditation and channeling.
@deetoo thank you! I want you to know I am not the only anti-Mitch Kentuckian our numbers are growing. The power Mitch is so proud of I hopewill be his downfall. The programs he wants to distroy, SS Medicare and Food stamp are the programs which a large number of his Eastern Ky constituates depend on. The only problem is I'm not sure they will vote for a women. That was the problem in 2016. A lot of these people are of the "women belong at home with the kids" religious right. However when they are faced with losing basic needs they may change their minds. More and more hospitals and medical clinics in Eastern Ky are closing due to the present Govenor and his pro Moron stance. These people have literaly nothing. @VestraLux welcome back. No I haven't listened to the NPR podcast but I will now! I am a few years younger than Mitch but I have a cousin who was at U ofL when he attended. He was not at all popular in fact most of his class mates were surprised he got elected to anything. The only thing he had going for him was his ability to smuz. His mentor was a stanch Republican senator who had a stellar reputation. I'm wonder what he would think of the monster Mitch has become.
I found something alarming in the news this AM. Moron wants to have Antifa declared a domestic terrerist group! My understanding is the this is a loosely inked collection of groups who are anti-facist and counter protest the alt-right. Alt-right groups have been responsible for 73% of the 425 extremist ,murders from 2009-2018. the Antifas groups hit one alt-right news man on the head which infuriated Moron. After the protest in Moscow yesterday and the way they were beaten by the Putin law enforcement, it is alarming to me. Moron is an all out facist and would love nothing better than to have anyone who doesn't agree with him punished. I wonder about the Black Hawk helicopter "manuvers" taking place around DC last week. As unhinged as Moron is I wouldn'tbe surprised if he ordered the military to attack protesters. I used to think that our military was better than that, but after seeing the pic of Moron at bases surrounded with soldiers wearing MAGA hats (which is against military regulations)I begin to wonder.
We are lliving in scary times my friends. Keep the light going in our hearts.
This is from the Baltimore Sun yesterday..." we would tell the most dishonest man to ever occupy the Oval Office, the mocker of war heroes, the gleeful grabber of women’s private parts, the serial bankrupter of businesses, the useful idiot of Vladimir Putin and the guy who insisted there are “good people” among murderous neo-Nazis that he’s still not fooling most Americans into believing he’s even slightly competent in his current post. Or that he possesses a scintilla of integrity. Better to have some vermin living in your neighborhood than to be one."
That's gonna leave a mark! Just tell Grandma you fell off the swing, ok Donnie?
Vestralux, I tried my little experiment today. First I read your original post, then meditated. After meditation, I started writing whatever came to mind concerning each of your paragraphs. Sometimes I didn't get anything further on your topic, but wrote what came to me. Very interesting.
Trump- Now through 2020
- Not only are family and close aides becoming alarmed at T’s increasingly erratic behavior, every single one of these people have money to lose if T’s condition is exposed. In one way or another, these people all have their financial futures leveraged through their connection to T and the influence they can wield with the Republican Party and donors. Everyone is trying desperately to keep this house of cards from falling.
- It feels a bit melodramatic, but the message I’m getting is that Hitler himself is connected to T. The rise of white nationalism so closely mirrors Hitler’s dream, that he is of course interested in trying to influence the man.. H sees this as a vindication of Germany’s white supremacy and is delighted that this hard line right wing philosophy is spreading across the world. It’s H’s legacy. He prompts Trump to say the most directly racist speeches and to openly admit to being a nationalist. Even the words the president uses are phrases and propaganda that come directly from Hitler’s speeches: “infestation,” for example, or dehumanizing terms like “vermin.” There are dark forces at work.
- In the next few months, T goes quiet. Only a physical situation could shut down his mouth and his twitter finger. When it’s too quiet at the White House or the tweets use more sophisticated language than T normally uses, that’s when you will know it has happened. It’s a cardiovascular event. He is scared. Some kind of surgery is required.
- Thus begins the most serious time of upheaval in the country. Fox News will try to spin a web of propaganda, but it only works with the cult. The rest of the country becomes more concerned about instability in Washington. There are some kind of external threats that cause unease. Plus, the facade of an unbreakable bull market is being chipped away. Manufacturing is down. Other indicators make the coming correction/market downturn look more imminent. The majority of the public will rightly surmise that there is weak leadership or no leadership at the helm. This is when the Koch brothers start to pressure Republicans. Make no mistake, the Republicans begin to turn against the president, but only because of the threat of losing funding. It doesn’t work for the oligarchs to operate in an unstable economy. It affects their bottom line, too.
- There will be several shocking videos and tape recordings leaked to the public that will continue to erode support for Trump from educated white women.
- T has been itching to catch the mainstream media in a mistake and have them prosecuted and thrown in jail. He wants to be like Putin. He wants ironclad control over the media. It’s not going to work for T, though, and the attacked reporter/reporters will emerge as heroes, much like the members of the FBI who have had their careers ruined by T and his conspiracy theorists. Each of these vilified people will end up recognized as heroes.
- The year 2020 will be an ugly one with people on both sides questioning the security of our election system. There will be a lot of reporting state by state of the security of these election procedures. States will the most vulnerable systems will be exposed. It’s at once reassuring to know that problems are being identified, but at the same time, it causes uncertainty about the entire election process.
- Mitch McConnell aka Moscow Mitch is going to come under increased scrutiny after he blocked legislation to protect the election process. His Russian ties will become exposed. Irrefutable evidence will come tumbling out. There will be a whistleblower from inside his camp.
- The election will be a joyful time for the Democrats, but controversy will swirl for months until the inauguration. The cult followers will not accept the results due to Fox News, et al.
Deep down the country is sick of T and wants him gone. It will take time to recover what we have lost as a country. It will take time to rebuild institutions. It will take time to write laws to safeguard our democracy from wannabe authoritarians. The US comes close to the brink, but it does not fall.
@unk-p, thanks for sharing that! It was music to my ears. I grew up in Baltimore City and it holds a special place in my heart. For all of its problems, Baltimoreans don't take kindly to someone dissing their city -- and especially from that orange clown.
Forgive my language, but if Hitler is influencing Trump from the other side, that means we cannot get rid of assholes even on the other side?
I can’t handle them on this side.
I haven't visited the afterlife, but people seem to believe there are different levels, and when you first arrive, if you're someone like Adolph, you're at kind of a low level and there are things you have to do to get to the next one.
The man has been dead for 74 years - don't you think he's cleaned up his act even a little bit by now?
I understand we have free will on Earth. I don't like it, and it wouldn't have been my plan.
But when you're on the other side, is there any other protection of evil spirits like Hitler? I don't understand how he would be allowed to do this to those living...
Thank you Bluebelle. Even if trump left tomorrow we'd still need to spend years rebuilding. That he's only going to be around for another year and half (I hope!!) is heartening. Also, no matter who the person is, there's always rebuilding after a republican administration. They're good at tearing things down.
Jeanne had a prediction, I think back in 2017, of Trump fading away in 2019. The cardiac event may be it.
