May Day - Trump on Trial in NYC



The world is watching the ongoing soap opera of citizen Trump's hush money trial - evidence stacking up against him - while verifying facts we knew about his past storylines.


Yesterday, this put a smile on my face ... Trump entering a limousine on his way to court as New Yorkers chanted, "New York hates you" over and over again.


I know New York mentality. Since members of the jury are professionals - they will weigh the evidence and come to a decision which determines the fate of this former corrupt president - twice impeached by the House. This is history in the making.


Will there be one juror who is programmed to vote in Trump's favor resulting in a hung jury and further delays? This goes to how the simulation is programmed to keep Trump in play until the end. It's what kept him from going to jail through decades of criminal activity - some comparing him to a mob boss who now fancies himself a future dictator - but even they eventually are removed from play.


The defining moment ... Is there a caveat Trump is ignoring that's trying to shows itself but he's not listening that will bring about his downfall?


Trump turns 78 next month - his behavior in court and physical appearance portraying a worn out aging man who falls asleep in court, finding it hard to focus on facts, and sits there with a staged look on his face that has worked for him in the past but not today. He's all theater - always has been.


Once he leaves court - it's as if he's awakened from a deep slumber - his demeanor reminding me of an AI that has been reactivated after being in stasis.


Day 10 of the trial resumes tomorrow - Thursday.




I asked Z about Donald Trump.


He showed me this pic and quote by Charlie Chaplin.


In the end, everything is a gag.

I don't see Trump re-elected. Along the way he meets his fate.




University Upheavals - April 2024



Tuesday I posted about professional agitators involved in Palestinian university protests across the country that grew violent with repercussions for students, staff, parents, and more. Not every story has a happy ending especially today.


For some protestors it's that moment of, "I want to make a difference to feel part of a movement" which guides people to do all sorts of things outside their norm - perhaps because they've been radicalized, due to pent up anger, rage, and anxiety, a feeling of disconnect from society and even reality, or something just as profound to them. "We're going to get drunk, high, then go out and protest because nothing today makes sense!"


What's different about today's movements is social media and globalization of efforts as we come to the end and people are programmed for participation.


There's what you know intellectually and what you experience around you and in the world - combined with internal (DNA) programming which guides life and destiny to the end.


For some, it's a sense of oneness of purpose wherever it takes them.


It's not hard to incite people to violence these days as chaos takes hold of reality.


As of this post - NYPD put an end to local university protests. Those involved will have stories, pics, and videos to share as a reminder of the events of the last week of April 2024. Some may create this into a thesis or dissertation in the years ahead. A thesis is based on existing research. A dissertation will require a doctoral student to conduct their own research and then perform analysis. The latter sometimes becomes a book or documentary.


I consider Crystalinks my dissertation.


Charlie Chaplin may have said that in the end everything is a gag. Ellie says that in the end it's all a simulation wherein everything turns to chaos as it fades to black. CUT! That's a wrap!
