Trump and Jesus (Forgiving and Forsaking) gagablog #133

I've been thinking about how the media enjoys being patently negative about Trump and my idea that he may truly want the approval of the country and it gave me insight into Jesus. (I started this a few days ago when it was a week before inauguration. Now it is 1-19-17 and the inauguration is the day after tomorrow. In the last two days Trump has tweeted a deal to reduce nuclear weapons in Russia and America and Obama commuted the sentence of Chelsea Manning yesterday, both good news.

Someone I know on facebook, a Trump supporter who is into magic named Xeo, said something about Trump that stuck with me. I had said I hoped he was just playing the game to get elected and would either reveal that he was really progressive or become that way through a personal transformation when he was in power. I still hope for this and feel like he connects with many Americans' desires for radical change of some kind or another. The vision I have for the future may be very different from what many of his supporters dream but I still see how Trump could be a "wild card" and a threat to the status quo - the reason why the Republican establishment backed Hillary. Hopefully this will lead to really new perspectives once Trump has finished using the rest of Republican power for his own purposes. Anyway, I said that about hoping he would really end up being a Good Governor and Xeo said "he just wants to be the most loved president ever."

This really stuck with me. We all want to be loved. I was in the middle of another gagablog, #133, all about Love and Fairies and Jane Eyre and romance and magic. I have a lot more to say about that, and fairy tales and love stories of my own to live and write, but since I had this insight I wanted to skip ahead to this edition and then return and finish that one.

When Xeo first said that to me I had an insight about Trump, personally, and I feel like this is a hopeful way to view the new era. If Trump really wants to be the most loved president, ever, the bar really isn't very high, honestly, but the key would be to be loved by everyone. A leader who can pull that off, who can unite the country in collective love and respect, is the best kind of leader. We, on the left, hoped for that with Obama but he both failed this ideal and sold us all out. The fact that we had such a large space in our country's heart to Try to love a president so much shows that we haven't really had a Beloved leader in a long time: people pretend Kennedy is like that, kind of, but I think it's a myth. Maybe FDR? Though I'm sure he had great faults and shortcomings, too. Even Lincoln has more of a legend about him that makes him venerable than he was the very best kind of leader who could have actually United the country by respecting ALL people instead of defeating Secessionists in order to maintain a compromise on human dignity and continue to prop up an oppressive system. The myth is that he was motivated by Freedom and Equality but if this were really true he would have found a nonviolent solution that would not have led to centuries of continued segregation.

Anyway, in my mind Trump could easily become the most-loved president ever but it truly would come from listening and responding with true compassion to all people - and not just people in America but all around the world. In a way, being president of America is like being King of the World, and in another way it is like being a puppet of China or Russia, alternately, apparently. But all of this is distraction from the point I want to make about Jesus.

First, I want to repeat my idea about Trump wanting to be the most loved president. It makes me think that his Dad was a busy businessman who did not have a lot of time to express love to young Donald. Hillary tried to troll him by using his first name since they had apparently determined that it reminded him of childhood pain he would like to forget. Since I imagine he was spoiled with riches he didn't have many of the problems that many other Americans experience. But the feeling of having to live up to the expectation or example of your parents, or rebelling against it, out of a feeling of a lack of love in childhood, that feeling is something to which almost everyone can relate. Donald Trump's dad was a high-profile Tycoon so he felt he had to become a Tycoon to win the respect and affection he missed from his dad. He even reached the higher level of President but can it be enough? Isn't this what ambition is made of? It can certainly be bad, ambition, but it can be good as well. As president Trump will be like a Father to the Country like all presidents before him. But in another way the Country, even the whole world, will be like Trump's Dad - he can win our approval and respect. He can make up for any insecurity by becoming a good leader, not just for America but for the whole world.

The President of the United States of America may have more power to change the world, directly, than any other person on Earth. That is one reason Obama was so disappointing to the Left - there was so much he could have done if he had not sold out to the system. We still love the ideals for which Obama stood and he will always be well-loved and respected for this, but not as much for what he actually did, so the bar has not really been raised for Most Lovable President, yet. I would guess FDR was the most loved and most elected but of course they all had the problems and failings of their times. We have the same problems we have always had in America, and more, and racism and classism are at the root of them. Trump represents these ideas in many ways and I can not support these ideas. No one who is open-hearted can support racism or classism. Yet I felt bad when I said I was offended to be called a "Trump supporter." While I still support the ideas Obama represents, I no longer support him or any Democrat after how they stole Democracy and Bernie's place in the Oval Office during the Primary - and all the fall-out since where they refuse to admit that their iron-fist control of the media was the whole crux of the problem. They are currently trying to blame Guccifer and insist that "he" is Russian in order to promote their myths to be afraid and rely on their war-powers to "save us." I don't support many of the ideals Trump represents but I do support him in the hopes that one way or another his reign will lead to radical changes in the status quo and ultimately more equality and justice and peace for everyone. It really comes down to whether he is or becomes a tool of the same corporations or if he can somehow escape that. Because it is the oil companies and military who pick our policy, now, for their own interests purely - to maintain obsolete systems. Green energy is not only the future, it's where all the money is, and Trump may just be money-conscious enough to realize this and make the switch.

I'm here to talk about Jesus, this time, not re-campaign the election. I still think we should have elected Jill Stein and could have if not for the media black-out - the whole reason the goal of my Standing Rock / Cubs / Break the Curse of the Goat spell was to also break the blackout on Jill Stein in the media. It finally broke a week after the election, for the recount. And she then raised more than ten times the amount of money she had in the whole campaign. Jill would legalize weed nationally. Hillary would have made it a Schedule 2 drug and rolled back our progress in Colorado and many other states. Trump has already said he won't mess with Colorado weed and this is far better than the Hillary option and is emblematic of how we dodged a catastrophic bullet by keeping her from stealing the general election, too. Also she was fully prepared to start WW3. As I have been predicting in this blog for years, Syria should be the last war we ever have and Trump can find a peaceful way out of it that becomes a blueprint for ending all war.

And he can do that with our support and belief in the basic goodness of mankind. This is where Jesus comes into it. Of course it would take the Compassion that Jesus truly represents for Trump to become the Great Leader  - the Great Dictator, Charlie Chaplin -Style, that could be our great hope. I believe we all have that in our hearts - I even said Hillary could repent and endorse Jill on Election Day and be seen forever as a redeemed Hero. But there is something more that makes this Jesus connection for me and makes it important to say now, at this time.

Some Trump supporters see Donald as having the Glory and Mantle of Jesus, they openly say God chose him and expect divine developments. Other Christians, liberal Christians, believe in the Christian values of Charity and Love and Tolerance and see Trump as anathema to all these ideals. I'm ideologically with the latter group but also see Love and Jesus in everyone - I think the Personal Jesus idea, living up to our own best ideals as represented by Jesus or any other figure who means Love to us, is the cure for everything. I like how the far-right can seem to see Jesus in Trump, in a way, though generally conservative religion is more hierarchical and does not like to consider Jesus in everyone. The more progressive liberal churches have always broken away with the insight of Personal Jesus - from the days of the Protestant Reformation and their radical ideal that everyone should read the Bible not just have the priests interpret it for them. Charismatic Christianity, churches where people are filled with the Holy Spirit and magic powers that come with it are increasingly popular but still seen on the fringes of "mainstream Christianity." Trump and other Right-Wing Christians call themselves Christian and I do not - this makes them "more Christian than me" in a way. I believe in "Blessed are the poor and meek" and other things I associate with Jesus and Love, I try to emulate and manifest Love and Unity in my life and expect it to magically grow in the world around me and at large. I believe this makes me more "Christian" in some ways than people who claim that label but don't believe in those principles.

But it's not a contest. The Truth is that Love conquers and transcends all labels. My impression is that all mainstream Christians, right and left, are on one side of this spectrum: there is a general belief in having a Personal Relationship with Jesus but a general wariness about trying to BE Jesus or manifest Love that much in your own life. It seems like s scary challenge or blasphemous or something. It's similar to the belief I heard about on the radio last night, the Baha'i faith. It originated in Iran when a man declared a prophecy and the traveller he told it to named him a Bab or Portal / Gate. This contradicted the Islamic belief that the Prophet Mohammad, Peace Be Upon Him, would be the "last" prophet. I have always wondered if that didn't merely mean Latest but I guess the Koran is explicit that there would be no more prophecy?  -I don't know, I have not read it. The Bab was manifesting the Spirit of Love and for this he and the followers of this new tradition are persecuted to this day. There are Christians in mainstream churches who believe in manifesting Christ Consciousness but generally this is on the "other" side of the spectrum from both left and right mainstream belief. Mystics and Gnostic and magic folk are on the other side of this spectrum. Psychedelics can result in Christ Consciousness as well and even if you aren't raised as a Christian  - just from living in a predominantly Christian culture and taking enough psychedelics can result in Christ Consciousness. In other cultures with different beliefs the same experience will lead to consciousness of other Deities which to me is proof of the inner connecting truth of all belief.

There are "bad beliefs", too, but the Pure Beliefs based on Truth and Love are true within all traditions and connect us all. I'm an outsider to Christianity yet my perspective on it, maybe because of this, can unite the left and the right of Christianity and end senseless conflict. I've always rooted for the Underdog, they say everyone loves an underdog but for me, as an outkast and Ultimate Outsider in so many ways I am extremely sensitive to any disadvantaged person. Trump is privileged in so many ways yet it is obvious that the media is bullying him and for this alone I am prone to want to see his side of things as much as possible, in as positive and idealistic way as I can. How can I do that despite the terrible things he said? Let me talk about Jesus for a minute.

There were always some things that mystified me about Jesus. Judas was one, then I read the Gospel of Judas and feel like I get it, now. Another mystery was his words on the Cross, "Father, why have you forsaken me?" and I never understood that but I think I did realize what it all means this morning, thanks to the media coverage of Trump and getting nice and high on this awesome legal Colorado weed.

Jesus is not "perfect" throughout the Bible, or I could say his mistakes teach us valuable lessons. The ones that come to mind are when he seems frustrated: with the Syrian woman, the fig tree, and his disciples. Somehow I see chasing the money-changers out of the Temple as "not a mistake" or an angry action but Righteous Justice, but maybe this is another example of Frustration getting the better of him, that "he is human after all." But the words on the cross always stuck with me: it seemed like he had a pretty good relationship with his Heavenly Father up until this point. Why would he say that? Why would he think God had forsaken him? Why would those be his last words in human form? It all seemed so dramatic. And it seemed like, "okay, he gets cranky sometimes, I get that - but doesn't doubting God at this most crucial moment go against everything else? And then this morning I think I "got it."

I've had various magical experiences that make me feel familiar with Jesus and Christ Consciousness. I'm aware it is the best of me in many ways and therefore I have many ways to work into it but can't expect to stay there or be as close to it as I can be unless I focus and try. Jesus was always focused on those who are left out so I think I am naturally inclined to this perspective from my outsider character. I wondered this morning - did he expect that he would not have to die? Is that why he called out like that, he expected the miracle would come to save him from death but at the last moment, he realizes he is dying and cries out, why did you leave me, Dad? When I think of it this way it is the most human emotion, the feeling we all have, the reason I sympathize with Donald Trump if his dad was too busy to love him enough. The reason I want to Love him, to love everyone, to make up for that human condition. It seems like the greatest fear is "Death" yet we can resign to death in some ways - yet Jesus was either panicked by death, not resigned, or since the whole week had seemed to display his resignation, maybe this shows he was Not afraid of death merely afraid of disappointing his dad. This shows how deep and powerful this feeling can be, it transcends life and death.

Did Jesus feel disappointed by his Dad at the very end? Or did he feel like he had disappointed his Dad, after everything, by making a mistake or not doing enough? Is he asking, "Dad, what did I do wrong that you aren't saving me from this cross?" It seems counter-intuitive, like he was totally planning to Die leading up to this moment  - so did he lose faith? That seems unlikely and it makes me wonder if he might have expected to have to go through with all of it except the dying part, that he would be rescued by Divine Favor - then felt like he must have lost it. It is a very sad and heart-wrenching phrase and unlike the times when Jesus spoke in anger or frustration. It is the only time this Ideal Man seems "broken" in the whole Bible. And of course the idea is that he is glorified by going through the experience and when he is resurrected he no longer has any fear of death because he actually went through it and "conquered it." The fact that this mystified me for 33 years or so, but I think I figured it out now, says something about what this question, "why have you forsaken me?" can mean and Do for us all. If you meditate on it it will Do It for you, or hopefully if you finish reading this it will Do It for you.

Thanks to the media "crucifying" Trump lately I made a connection. I don't see Trump as any "more" Jesus than you or I - and I don't see any of us as any less, either. (For the record, claiming Gaga as my goddess for 8 years on the Internet has mostly resulted in people rejecting me and this idea so vehemently they never discover the subtleties of it, that I see EVERYONE as the Goddess and choose to honor Gaga for almost this very reason and others, too - call it Art or Sexiness.) So what does this mean? We all fear death. We all fear having disappointed our Parents, of having not lived up to the expectations and hopes of life. It's something we feel even more profoundly at death. Another radio show had a lady who had spent years working with  -listening to - dying patients and she wrote a book on the top 5 regrets they expressed. She said the most common one was having not lived life for themselves but trying to please others' expectations. This shows how central this idea is in our existence, for good or bad.

If Jesus himself was afraid he had disappointed his Dad, failed his purpose, isn't this something to which we can all relate? His situation seems to be on a much higher "scale" than ours, if we are just trying to live up to our image of our mom or dad as a great Baker or something, but the dynamic is the same. Trump is on a Higher Scale, in a worldly sense, as many "successful" families have that kind of pressure to succeed in a Big Way intensifying this dynamic. - editing this on the 19th, I've added two or four sentences so far, but I wonder if this is the source of Hereditary Greed in Rich Bloodlines, the fact that it is "never enough" to please, to suit. Of course it is even more intense, in other ways, at the other end of the wealth spectrum, in poverty, where survival is the measure of success because it is extremely difficult. The only reason we have such a broad, oppressive, and unjust spectrum is because we don't manifest Love and Tolerance, we don't emulate Jesus and other Love-Gods and Goddesses, enough.

I also heard on the radio yesterday or Monday that a new calculation shows that the 8 richest billionaires in the world have as much as the poorest half the world or 3.6 billion people.

If we can just sympathize with each other we can discover the love Jesus and all great and holy people have taught us. I have the psychedelic and magical experiences that allow me to relate to Jesus as much as I can without fear but I realize most people are hesitant about this. And I realize it leads me to thinking that Love and this Divine Feeling are some kind of "special state" since they have to Break through the Barriers of this world we all live in that seems so full of hate and separation (since I mostly get these glimpses from Art, sex, and magic/psychedelics/weed - these are really part of the Real World and this world we call "reality" is a filter, barrier, and blinders to that Real World.) It IS special but it is also the basic goodness of all of us.

The idea of Jesus dying for out sins is very magical. It can be magically bad in ways if it leads us on some kind of guilt trip or superiority delusion that we have to convince others to see things just as we do, that we don't each have our own ways within this vast mystery of love. The good magic is that it allows forgiveness. Forgiveness can become a very foreign concept and we need it more when this is the case. I know Christian Missionary work has resulted in a lot of suffering and destruction of culture but there are successes, too, including spreading the idea of forgiveness. I heard another radio story about a tribe that had such a strong code of blood honor that the families were killing each other off until missionaries taught them forgiveness. This may be an extreme example and most tribes may be far better off without contact with missionaries. I bring it up not to denigrate people whom some might label "savage" but to point out how savage we are, in modern society that so often claims to have christian values, if we aren't forgiving.

And we are not forgiving or we would be healing and coming together. The first magic of forgiveness is it allows us to forgive ourselves. This is how healing starts because the evils and sufferings we feel all come from our hearts and if we can forgive and love ourselves better we can heal them so we can forgive and love others better, too. This is the second magic of forgiveness and it grows naturally from the first, the ability to forgive others. And if we really want to claim we follow Jesus or believe in what he says and represents then we should think about what forgiveness means and the idea that Jesus "Died for out sins."

When I worked with abused kids there was one who said "Jesus died for ME, not you, not anyone else, just Me." He was very young, had just recently been exposed to these particular Jesus ideas by church groups that worked with them, and was obviously projecting his need for his own parents - all the kids were in foster care, it was an institution for them, so we, the staff, were their "rotating parents", and he was one of the youngest in the cottage, just 5 or so. I mention it because we don't take this idea to it's full fruition. Shame often side-tracks us - if Jesus died for me then every mistake I make is ungrateful, I must be very careful and live small and isolated - something like that. But if we take the idea further it allows for Bravery - not to do a bunch of stuff we know is wrong because Jesus will forgive us, that is another mistake in the other direction, but to Live Boldly by the Truth of Love - that we are ALL "forgiven" and can forgive ourselves and each other. When you take it further, or "to the extreme" you have to just accept this faith logically: if Jesus died for All of Our sins, if he teaches us to pray for forgiveness for ourselves and immediately after, in the same breath, to pray to forgive others, there is a message here. We forgive ourselves so we can live more: more openly, more bravely, more connecting with others. We forgive others so we can do this better, too, and so they can. It's what Jesus and all Holy People always have told us and always tell us to do. And it's really quite simple. We Love Ourselves More  -stop beating ourselves up for past mistakes - and Love Each Other More - stop resenting past evils and stop fearing future ones.

If Everyone IS forgiven, as millions claim to believe, then who are we, who is Anyone, to condemn them?

Hadn't we better see where they are coming from, how they are suffering, and help them?

We come together through Forgiveness and Love. That really IS the Only Way but it does NOT matter what we call it and we can start with forgiveness between religions by focusing on this and forgiving any previous insistence or propagandizing. "Forgiveness" may not be the specific focus of other traditions but it's just magic that we, America, are the ones who so often claim to hold this tradition yet we are so in need of the message of it, ourselves. We, as the most "powerful" country in the world - at least in Punitive, Military Might - have the power to Judge and Condemn and Punish - but therefore we can set the greatest example by showing Mercy and Forgiveness. The whole world does need this message, too - we just need to put aside all our old differences and work together.

We are so fear-based we can imagine alien invasions that unite the people of Earth to defend the planet. But what if no aliens want to invade us like that? What if, instead, they are just waiting for us to end our warlike ways to welcome us to the community of Good Folks in the Galaxies?

What if the threat we REALLY need to Unite and Face is US - global warming caused by human activity - and when we Finally stop looking for an outsider to blame and point the finger at ourselves we can solve it.

The secret, the key to a new and better world, is Forgiveness, in this case. Can we forgive Trump for the awful things he said? Can we forgive each other for things we say and do, as individuals and as People, as nations, as oppressive governments - can we put ALL of this behind us and move on, already? Of course some things will be easier to forgive than others - it's much easier to forgive something someone says they will do if they don't do it, for instance. If they change their mind or see the error of their ways, it becomes much easier to forgive people.

But before all of that we have to forgive ourselves. It is because we don't want to face something we don't like about ourselves that we want to find fault in others in the first place. I'm a complete Narcissist and Ego-maniac - "but for the left", as Woody Allen said about being a bigot. As such, I can "relate" to Trump but consider him a Junior Narcissist, by comparison. I made the joke that if he thought his book was second-best to the Bible he's already admitted he is a Loser. I feel like I can relate to him, as a narcissist, and say that there is a kind of black hole of insecurity at the core of narcissism, a journey of "who am I?" that can turn a boy into a flower. Narcissism can be "bad", surely, just being unaware of other people, inconsiderate. Personally I feel like we all have insecurity in us, it's just that we narcissists do more to compensate for it - maybe we feel it more acutely or have more insecurity. It makes me think how science now understands more about larger black holes, how they send a lot out as well as sucking things in, as we typically think of black holes. As an artist I see us that way: we feel insecurity so strongly we take in everything as inspiration and fling it back out as art in ways nothing else does. Trump's tweets are this kind of art in a way, too. The whole key to being a Good Artist or Good Leader is to accept that the "Real You" is beyond "you", its the inspiration and art or ideal you live up to, living through you. When you are given the position you can rise to the occasion  -and if you don't it's unfortunate for everyone. For me, I don't believe in individual selves, I think we are all One and know Love is the spirit within us all, uniting us all, because when we respond to it Love always brings us together, ultimately. We feel guilt for the things that separate us and we become attached, by pride, to what these are but Love can overcome them.

If we love each other, if we focus on that and respond to it, we forgive each other and ourselves. What did Jesus think he had done wrong that his Father had not forgiven him, on the cross? Didn't he know, afterward, that it was not as he thought, at the time, death was not a punishment but part of what he had to do, part f the plan all along? If Jesus could be briefly mistaken, despondent, like this, can't we also have faith that we will be forgiven for times when our faith was lacking or we misunderstood, too?  Even with the love and connection between Jesus and his Heavenly Father, who are both Love itself and often believed to be the Same, even with that much Unity there can still be misunderstanding. This is a message to me that we can be at odds with our self, within ourselves, and that is where we feel like we are judging our self or can't forgive our self. But if we love ourselves, like Jesus loves us, like God loves Jesus, like Jesus loves God, like God loves us, and love each other this way, then we should always know that what seems unforgivable or seems like unforgiveness all ultimately stems from some misunderstanding, within us, between us.

The Key here is to talk with yourself like Jesus talks with God, to reassure yourself like God does for Jesus - which can be not saying anything at all and being patient and going through it. We can treat Trump this way, he can treat others this way, and if we can treat ourselves and our "Enemies" THE SAME way, if we can look for these misunderstandings between us, not to exploit them and make them worse, but to root them out, then we will. If Trump exposes the racism and classism of America, sometimes by exhibiting it, sometimes by this magical power he seems to have, without even knowing it, to make tweets that reach a  Divine Trolling level and expose it in others, in the system, then we can finally address it. The Irony of Obama is he did the opposite and ended up trolling us all in the "drag you down and waste your time" way, by pretending to be black for some purposes but not to address issues and systematic racism that oppresses black people all over the country - for those issues he pretended he had to be "president of All America" and support the oppressive system, calling protesters thugs, etc. Trump is trolling us but not by lying: he serves more of the Holy Fool or Divine Troll, Erisian role that verges on the Anti-trolling I believe in which I call Angelfishing.

Trolling involves using a lie, claiming to believe it, in order to unsettle people and use their emotions. Typically you pretend to be a certain way even if you are not that way in order to upset someone. Hillary trolled us all systematically. Bernie ended up trolling us all, too, we just didn't know he was lying the whole time until the convention. Maybe they threatened his family - still, at that point, make martyrs of your grandkids and save the country, you knew what you were getting into. So if he WAS well-intentioned in the primary then the Troll-powers of Hillary overpowered him. Trump is a different kind of troll than Hillary - he believes what he says. He's almost an Angelfisher about it, or would be if he knew what he was doing. It's easier to let them hang themselves than it is to form Posses, with legal weed rope will be Free and Abundant. (Angelfishing is believing anyone, not trying to fool them, but believein they believe what they believe enought o get them to talk about it and bring the truth out of them, knowing the truth is ultimately bigger than "either" of you)

This is magic. I can tell you how I do it. Does that weaken it, make it too sciencey? No. Will George W Bush die soon, hospitalized again today? I really don't care - I used to, I used to just wish ONE person would die to save millions of others.... and it used to be Him, then his Son.... I used to fear that W got Christianity Severely Wrong and just wanted to Nuke the whole world to make sure he didn't die alone....

Were we talking about Jesus? We're all Jesus, we're all Like that. We all doubt, we all fear  - mostly, we all die, or think we do, so we have "everything" in common, in a way.

I just finished an ELO live cd and put in Genesis - also love, ("live" - thanks, typo fairies) which I at one point as a kid feared was a blasphemous name.... "I have Forgiven Jesus" is a great Morrissey song, it has "something" to do with all of this, and Everything to do with it if you understand sex and sex-shaming and the need to be sex-positive and wonder how Russians are the best at having women of Loose Morals.... what Putin said dismissing the rumors about Trump, that Russian prostitutes are the Best in the World.

I commend Obama for commuting Chelsea Manning's sentence- she served her 7 years, anyway. He could have done it earlier and the veterans whom it angers would not have been "less mad." They resent her for breaking a code of Honor, an oath, but when the Truth contradicts your Oath and "honor" then your honor becomes invalid, that's just the nature of things.

I could write the unified field theory I got such a perfect buzz off those two hits of weed this morning. We don't need it until we end war, and others have probably made it already and it's in the same "state". I remember a Free Energy machine someone was promoting on facebook during the campaign - it's funny what comes out and sneaks through.

We all fear death, or think we do - but is this the message of Jesus final Words the First Time Around? We aren't REALLY afraid of death, we are afraid we will forget what we came here for.

Here's a reminder: Love. We came here to love. We aren't doing it when we judge others. We feel like we are standing up for the disadvantaged when we oppose Trump. But if we Judge him, especially if we PreJudge, we are making it worse, adding another layer of hate instead of stripping it away. When we feel like we are standing up for an ideal, we feel a lifestyle is threatened, and that is why we support Trump, we need to realize how that lifestyle is built on other's suffering and seek insight to ONLY make or WANT a lifestyle that everyone can enjoy and participate in equally - Phil Collins singing "No son of Mine" reminds me of Jesus and God but also of a Segregation piece on the radio  -as, in between songs, someone says "I truly believe that Jesus knows you" and now they are singing a song I never heard before, "Jesus He Knows Me." I still claim to be Right about Perfect Illusion / In The Air Tonight and I want to make Love with Stefani Germanotta. Anyway, this is getting extra-magical, let me focus - we are here to Love and when we actually DO it we will see that it works, it makes magic and makes it happen.

Why have you forsaken me, Trump? Can You Hear That, in Yourself, in Others? For Good Or Evil? Can you hear yourself saying that, to God, to yourself? Can you hear your kids asking you? Does that remind you of Trees?

Do you see how this works? Weed is Good for You, Alcohol is Not, really. I will tell you some stuff, we will Make this World Heaven, we will MAKE Love - I haven't even smoked a third hit, yet, watch this:

Do you want to know Jesus, really? Do you want to, enough to BE Jesus? What if that's how it works, it's unavoidable? What if I call it Love? Do you want to know Love, really? Do you want to, enough to BE Love? What if I call it Someone - do you want to Know Someone, REALLY? Do you want to, enough to BE someone? Even Yourself?

I can talk with you, if you listen long enough, until we cease to exist - separation ceases to exist. I wrote, someone did, it as a lyric - thanks, Fairies, these days I just thank the Fairies - i mean, I thank others, too, Gaga, Kuan Yin, Jesus, Buddha, others, all the time, others, more and more others in more and more ways, thanks, Phil Collins, not just for cool lyrics but nice beats, too. What was I saying? Thanks, Weed. I love Weed. Oh, right, we can make Love, we can Be The Same, it;s not a problem. I wrote, someone wrote, thanks, fairies, some lyrics for Foxzen: "beyond me and you" I can't remember them now but something about that.

Anyway, this is a world we are in, watch. We say we know what we are doing, I thought i was going to write  a different sentence, then, and look at me, I'm writing this one. It's not hard, it's the easiest thing in the world, getting out of your own way and letting goodness through.

Just look for where it's getting blocked and go around that like dodging trees in a forest. Where was I going with all of this?

Whom are we asking forgiveness, forsakeness? Who are we missing?

Who is left out? Who is hiding? Who is hiding them? Who is hiding them? Who is hiding THEM?

Do you see? There is no escape, there is no Outsider except outside walls that don't exist. We make them in our minds long before we make them outside, we can take them down inside much faster than we can knock them down around us, or we make doors and ways around much faster that way.

Who are we asking forgiveness? Who is asking our forgiveness?

We have a system, a segregated system, a system OF segregation - because naturally we are Unified, and we naturally Unify and diversify but manage to diversify in far more fantastic ways by our tendency to unify. So we have a system to break us up and keep us apart, "WE" don't have it to help all of us, we live in it, and it only supposedly serves 8. Or so, it only supposedly serves the top half, anyway, or top 1%, one percent, or some number, who cares if it isn't everyone, right?

What if it was a system that helped 99% or 99.9 percent of people - who is left out? Who deserves that?

What happened to Everyone? What if everyone else comes to their senses and Trump is the Last Person in the World to hold Intolerant Ideas, what do we do, throw tomatoes at him? Oh, wait, wouldn't that make Us the meanies, then? Is it all about identifying and isolating the meanies to make them meaner? Oh, what is prison for?

What are the last three things you would make free? When you flip it all over, the questions become different, the answers are all obvious - because if there IS any future to be had, we can ALL see what we have to do to get there.

There is No One who can be left out, we all deserve to Go, to Get It, to Be A Part Of It, and not just a chance, we have a Wrong Way of doing things that starves most people but we just have to Do Things Right and everyone will be fed and happy and the whole world will be more productive and end the wastefulness of conflict and hoarding. We've always known somewhat how to do this, slay the dragons, but we can even befriend the dragons -  and I would say "change their hearts" because it seems to work in some analogies but the truth is Change All Our Hearts, in every analogy, that works best.

And it starts with each person, it only starts inside, it's nothing you can do in the world or for others until you're doing it in you.

We didn't do anything wrong. Death seems like a punishment but it's not, it's just some kind of incentive that we misused in this world and made a tool of fear, made into something that happens for "unnatural causes" because by now we can cure bdisease if we stop causing them, we can be left with "old age" as the only thing that kills folks, if that. It's magic that we learn this, that we feel this way, first, then discover how it works in the world. War obviously doesn't exist anymore, that would be stupid, right?

And violence won't exist anymore either, except consensually for fun, sport and sex and video games and shows or whatever?

It's easy to see things from the future if you can assume a future exists  -it's easy to see how it could all end, it could all end my whole life, but I'm not all W about it, ready to take everyone with me just because it "could" happen that way, even I am not THAT self-centered and insecure - but it's easy to see how we get to the Future if there is one because you know what we have to do.

We have to shed some bad systems, that's it. They can transform themselves and continue, it's the Future, they will want to be a part of it. Or they will be swept away, Ironically, by Trump  - or if not him, by the Populace. It's all a set-up, in a way, it's just to make us believe in stuff.

It works, magic is real, and it's real easy, so easy we are doing it all the time without realizing it so we might as well find out more about it and do it better.

Why have you forsaken me? I hear the message of this edition calling to me. Why would we ever forsake each other, any of us? There was something on the radio about segregation, a NY reporter who wrote "the segregation beat" and she said no one ever cared to DO anything about the systematic segregation she reported on. They could act upset but no one ever took any action. One of the best things she said was in explaining why her kids were in public schools when she could afford private ones, seen as "better" schools. Her response was something like "how can we say a school is not good enough for Our Kid but accept that any kid, or any one's kid, has to go there?" Like, if it's not good enough for Your Kid when why is it good enough for any one's kids or whose kids is it good enough for?

This same principle applies to everyone, everything should be good enough for everyone, no one should be left out. That is why the bare minimum accept is a world where every single person has access to a free amusement park to use as much as they like: we should have enough mutual success that people only work as much as they want or when they are tired of the amusement parks and other entertainments -  as I said, amusement parks are a target on top of everything and as much free as possible, or everything free.

It's not really a Big Vision - it's easy to do, another way of looking at things that can spread like a virus through humanity. It's magic, deep magic but also on all the surfaces.

I'm writing  atepehone book for spirit communication and still in the ghost section. A radio show about Trees talking with each other in the Networking Ted Talk edition concluded that it was a network of fungus between the trees that carries the messages and nutrients between them - thanks, fairies for correcting my tense there  - and it reminds me how the spirit-world connects us. I think about the "Ghost World" first because they are decomposers and because I am writing that section now but of course mushrooms are also Alive, Alien, and Fairy. "Invisible Touch" is on now and I want to write about love and let go and maybe write some fairy tales or see what happens, but did I say this?

Do We Forsake or Forgive Each Other? Is Gaga Playing the SuperBowl? Did she reach her Political Objective? What happens to Jesus does not happen to all of us, but like the Tarot the events and episodes all teach us things about our own life: our passion plays may be in the bedroom and in and out of it and other places entirely, our "crosses to bear" may be other things and other than we call them. But we all feel this same feeling of being forsaken and we all give up on each other and let others be Cast Out Of Ourselves.

Maybe God is in all of Us and needs some Convincing and that is why Jesus said this, to make God, Us, more loving.

To remember that everyone is One of us and Part of Us - we need to feel that for Trump if we want and expect him to feel that for others. We can do it, we can turn everything around and inside out.

People don't read enough Spider-Man, I guess. I read a lot, from ages 13 to 23 I read it regularly, through the whole MacFarlane era, but you only have to read one to know that With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility.

Does Russia really control the U.S. now, or will it when Trump takes over? Aren't we a little Gay for them? Like, maybe Too Gay for their Leadership and Culture to continue if they bit off more than they could possibly chew? And other things, too, not just Gay - I don't think Russia is ready for psychedelics and Magic because of a national drunken Stupor - but "between" all of that Weed will save the world. Did we used to be run by China, then, in the Bush/Clinton/Bush/Obama years? I'm just speculating, I read 1984 IN 1984.

When you Take Over a country I Guess you can Keep the Power Structure in place and be the point Person for all of those who struggle against that power structure. Or not. You could try a different Power Structure  -I just put on Wham! "Make it Big" at 11:23 AM on 1-19-17. Manifesting Jesus happens in all sorts of ways. i got these cd's at the thrift store and just took out the trash and fed the cat. Now this song is another one I did not recognize the name, "Everything She Wants", but it's awesome. Okay, Jesus.

This is the thing: People who think Jesus picked Trump to be President, and there are literally millions of them, it's not like they are wrong, except that they are misled about Jesus. They may not think that Jesus will manifest in Trump but they better, he better - you'll see what I mean. "You say you're having my baby" he sang as I typed that, I need to smoke for this. Compassion is what we need and we can make more of it between any of us.

All we have to do is drop out of a system that keeps us separate from each other, a system that makes divisions. It's ironic or magical to expect this through Trump, who rose to power as a wall-builder. Now that it's over I realize I had such hopes for Obama that never materialized, I can at best say he avoided more war, and automated the ones we have, which makes it worse in some ways, certainly makes us less sensitive to it so we don't object as much. Merely regarding War I think about how much collective and heroic effort was required to finally end the Vietnam War  -we are still technically at war with Korea, right? - and when we went to war in Iraq we never had enough opposition to it, either time, to really stop it. And we elected Obama to stop it but acted like it was "done" then instead of keeping the pressure on and staying engaged  - again, we never had the Movement that the People had against the Vietnam war. I'm not saying we don't deserve to end war because we didn't work hard enough, we all deserve to end it, I'm saying we can see how the war machine will just take other forms unless we work to dismantle it until it's done and gone entirely, something we have to do at a worldwide level.

I do want to thank Obama for helping Chelsea Manning get out of prison, in May, I heard - I hope she makes it and starts a good life when she gets out. He's done some other good things, too, but why not do them long ago? Oh, because being the right thing to do upsets a lot of the "wrong" people, huh?

I thank Trump for using his power, or connection with Russia, or whatever, to get started on reducing nuclear arms. This is just extremely important and a really nice sign that Trump will not be Pro-War or start a war with Russia or anyone, hopefully. There are other ways of doing things than war, simple as that. And how did Trump get this agreement? With some power or connection Obama does not have? Even if that is true, Obama had other powers, but did not use them to reduce nuclear arms - not enough, anyway. War has always been a waste and Republicans have always represented War  -but all those Republicans endorsed Hillary this year, Trump may very well be the one to break with this wastefulness and paranoia.

I keep meaning to make a meme about defending the C.I.A. since they became a tool of the Clinton Foundation or whoever. I need to see what is happening these days online and what's going on with Gaga, if she is playing the Superbowl but even more important to me is if she has seen through her own personal (or personnel) blackout and escaped the Hillary clutches. I need to forgive all that stuff myself and buy Joanne so I can hear her new songs. I hope that will be what breaks through this era of suspicion.

There is a president in The Gambia who refuses to leave after losing the election. People have fled to neighboring Senegal fearing violence and Senegal is offering to invade, with the help of an alliance of African nations, to install the elected leader. So they say, anyway, and I think it is supposed to happen the same day Trump is supposed to be inaugurated here. I hope everything goes smoothly, I will just say that, and it is nice to think that we don't have to take the same precautions with Canada or Mexico, but we can also know that no one will ever invade to install Bernie or Jill or whoever "really" won.

I suspect Trump really won and bigger than people know, that Hillary stole a lot of votes from Jill. They certainly tried to say that Russia hacked the election itself in the immediate aftermath and I suspect if they could have gotten that story to "stick" they would flip it to Hillary and they may even try that yet, they've shown they are foolish enough by running her in the first place. But Russia didn't hack the election, if anyone did it was the Democrats, and they still lost.

I know I am being positive about Trump and I think he is starting to deserve it with the nuclear disarming deal. It's not as though I have some new-found faith in Trump, I just have faith in Goodness. It is strange how it came about - with such disgust at how Hillary stole the Primary and was controlling the media to blackout Jill Stein and smear Trump I couldn't find anything else substantially "worse" than that  - even though I am opposed to racism and sexism, and agree that Trump's statements and policies could amount to racism and sexism far too often, the way they portrayed them as Worse than stealing democracy, especially when she is more war-hawkish and frakker-friendly and at best tied with him on other detestable issues, was something that just revealed the extent of their Bias. We watched Hillary steal the primary from Bernie, we were there. To have the government/media/Obama tell us that "fake news" swayed the election when one of the most significant factors, in online debates, was how she stole the primary, just shows how deep they are in their own lies.

They can't see out of the whole they have dug themselves in, it is so deep. And yet there are so many of them in there, it is a giant hole, like those Apocalyptic sinkholes in Texas. So we can all see it a mile off and see it for what it is  - a giant pit -  and we won't fall in again.

Did Trump just fall in? Or will he remake Washington? My faith is in Goodness. I know that he COULD have the Heart, the Love, the Jesus, the POWER, the True Power, to have compassion and Unite the country and the World, and for this he will deserve every one's praise. But if he doesn't, maybe "Washington" is Obsolete. I've been talking about how Standing Rock can supplant the US Government as an incorruptible, collective, volunteer government where our "real" one is Corrupt  - backed by the People through Donation and Participation and Marshalling and Caring for the Veterans better than the "Real Government" is doing.

As I've said for years,. the only Real Authority is taking care of people.

So having well cared-for people as your responsibility is real Power. Having oppressed people is a liability. There are ways, green energy, weed, clean water, that can free EVERYONE, every person on the planet, from oppression. We can make it where No Place is a Bad Place to live - I was going to exclude naturally inhospitable places like deserts but the truth is we can start living there, too, in domed cities or new home models and networks of cave-tubes, like ants - once we start to work collectively.

We can Make America Great Again and Make Everywhere Great Again, all at the same time, so there will be none of our current problems at all. It's a macrocosm level of what we do on a microcosmic level as individuals, with forgiveness - of ourselves and others, of those around us. This actually leads to the bravery to be more open with each other and our environment, to see ourselves as all part of the Greatness, instead of making walls and divisions between us.

I know I am being hopeful, so full of light I see nothing but brightness. But I am not being blinded - if injustices are proposed or continued I will stop them however I can and I know we can all stop them together. Light IS Justice, though, and I know the Truth will always come out and Justice will be quicker and surer now than ever, and more and more into the future. No one will be Above the Law, not even Lawmen, but this will restore an Honor and Respect between people that can allow forgiveness and progress.

The message is that we are forgiven, even for the things we feel forsaken for. And we should forgive others, even when they say or do things that we say make them "forsakeable" - because none of us Truly are. The mistakes we make that make others want to justify forsaking us, ostracizing us, or oppressing us, those mistakes are already a punishment enough to us in themselves. It's not our place to judge, it's no one's place but our own, it comes upon us in our hearts but our hearts need love to work at all.

That is why in Oz, the Future, the jail Loves the Prisoner until he is all better.

In a way, the White House is a Jail. We can Love the New Prisoner, Trump, until he is all better. It looks like he may have infrequent conjugal visits so let's have some pity and undertsanding and support, okay?

How would we want to be treated if we were in his shoes, in his chair, at that desk, under his hair?

Let's use this example, of Trump, of Jesus, of you and I, to find forgiveness and Hope even for those who most and least deserve it, from where we sit in  judgement or hang on for mercy.

gagablog #132: Hipster Genocide: Mission to Burma, Myanmar: Does Hacking Or Lying/Cheating Undermine Confidence? - Russia, Israel, etc.

I have one chapter left to read in Jane Eyre and will write next about it, about fairies and love. This is the News I need to clear up before then. I had notes from a week ago but lost them. I'm sorry for losing whatever slipped by - maybe I will find it, but there is plenty to talk about - it seems like the news was about Iran and Turkey and Russia teaming up to address Syria, also about the hacking scandal, and Obama refraining from vetoing a U.N. resolution on illegal Israeli settlements in Palestine. But of course there have been shootings since those notes were taken, in Turkey, an assassinated Russian ambassador and then a mass shooting at a nightclub, and then another mass shooting by an American Iraq-war-veteran in Florida yesterday or the day before - he said he heard voices from the US government, I think, that told him to watch ISIS propaganda videos. The media says his motive is unknown but this seems to be a case of some mind control military stuff finally being exposed in real-time, or a "type" of "mental illness." They reported the hearing voices where our government was telling im to watch ISIS videos  - they are reporting on everything but that part of it, now. That motivation was reported on the first day but now the only way they talk about him "hearing voices" - on the CBS news national report I just heard  - was last year when he was interviewed or briefly committed - but the immediate story included that these voices, from the US government, were part of his motivation. They are saying his motivation is unknown, now, an don't mentionit, which makes me suspect if it was mind control it is an effort to get guns off planes or nail down the No-Fly, No Guns idea. Which is sad but you can't put anything past an evil government.

       Meanwhile there is a genocide going on in Burma, or Myanmar. The reason I call it a "hipster" genocide is that it is apparently "hip" to support it, worldwide, just as it is supposed to be Hip to support Syrian Rebels - but not terrorists- and the media battle between Russia and the U.S. has been whether or not the rebels are all terrorists or just that terrorists are mixed in. Certainly the storyline in Western Media for the last year has been that Russia was helping Assad attack the Rebel forces, backed by the U.S., instead of going after ISIS or other terrorists. The actual Goddess Isis has benefited, spiritually, from the use of this name but surely resents how it is being misused and Justice is coming. It may be a complete CIA-sponsored operation, we just don't know - it certainly seems evil and has a lot of American Toyotas and equipment, which our media claims they stole when we left it all over an ill-protected Iraq. I'm not walking this all the way back -let me say No One was more opposed than I was to Both Iraq wars by Both Bushes. And they were fully continued but renamed by Obama and automated by his drones - and Michelle's, don't forget Michelle.

      Let me say this before I return to the Hipster Genocide concern. Trump is supposed to be inaugurated in about eleven days, I think. The way I see it, one of four things can happen: The Oddest, and best, would be if there was more revelation or a twist that allowed the House -  or some other legitimate body, according to whatever weird rules they have - to pick the President after deciding that Hillary and Trump are invalid, for whatever reason. I predicted 4 or 5 years ago that Tulsi Gabbard would be our first woman president, maybe that will be this year, after all. Maybe they would pick Bernie, maybe Jill, who knows. This is still my hope and wish. Trump will likely take over and I see this as a "peaceful transition": if we are due for a revolution the one we would have to overthrow Trump would be largely peaceful and prolonged. Conversely, if Hillary is somehow installed, after all, I suspect we would have a swift and violent revolution led by the Trumpers. This contrast reminded me of a fear that has been expressed  - for eight years - by rednecks and others, usually phrased "if you think Obama's gonna give up power voluntarily you're crazier than you look." This option is that Obama would declare an emergency state or something and stay in power until it is worked out. This would actually provoke a different and probably slower revolution than the Clinton option but it's weird to think how that option, letting her steal it, is actually so upsetting to people, and people who generally hate and fear Obama are kind of accustomed to him, that this More Obama option would be "more acceptable" than previously. And less violent than Clinton-as-President, which I don't think would last the year. But it will probably be Trump - a weird thing to "hope for" but hear me out. I STILL hope Jill, or even Tulsi, even Bernie, would be our next President. Or Best of All, we replace Washington DC with Standing Rock.
     
There are still terrible problems in many places around the world, many we surely don't know about, that know one knows about, but the situation in Burma or Myanmar is recent, or is being recently "reported," and is so actively suppressed that it's treated as a rumor by the media. The problem of governments hiding evil is what I want to address and end, magically, with these reports. No one can verify that the Myanmar government is raping and killing the Rohinge people, an ethnic minority of Muslims in a predominantly "Buddhist" country. I put "Buddhist" in quites like I do "Christian" for America or any country that promotes violence and is taking their Lord's Name in Vain and will be Punished for this, and other things, too. I call it Hipster because before there even were modern Hipsters there was a hipster band called Mission To Burma all about promoting our agenda for "Democracy" in Burma, which had been renamed Myanmar by a military coup  -or something. And a coincidental news story from the BBC is a Nigerian Girl Group that was being sponsored by the British government until a journalist reported on it and they "rubbished" the project, after reaching 8.5 million people who knew the group. It reminds me of the Boy Band Bart Simpson was in where they sang "Yvan Eht Nioj" to recruit kids.

All I really know is that for years Western Media was promoting An Yan Su Chi (sp?) as the Democratic leader who was under house arrest for a decade. They promoted her like Nelson Mandela or something, gave her a Nobel Peace prize, and got her elected and she took power just a year or so ago. Now her government is killing the Rohinge minority and no one is stopping them or even able to verify it because they sealed off the area and won't let anyone in. I can only tell you what I know from BBC and NPR radio news and what I can gather from the spin they put on it. They had a pundit explain that Su Chi is President of Burma, now - Nobel Peace Prize recipient, remember -  but she has no control of the Army. So this is blaming the Army there and saying she really can't do anything about it. Or suggests whatever power she has as president she is still afraid of the Army - but the next thing he said made me think the Western Media is just making excuses for her. He said that the population is mostly Buddhist and they don't have sympathy for the Rohinge people who are Muslim. This reminds me so much of America where people seem to have completely twisted versions of the faiths they claim to have which make them hostile to strangers instead of Loving as Jesus and others commanded. Buddha was all about how we are the same and I know I am oversimplifying when there are millions of Buddhisms out there but some of these forms get so far from the Love that is the core of all religious traditions that they are just wrong. Any religion that can ignore rape and genocide of your neighbors because they are different, well, your religion is different than what it is meant to be. And I can accept that the president has no control over the Army - it is like that here, too, apparently - but she DOES or could have some influence over the people and she COULD use that for good to remind them of the Rohinge people's basic right to live in peace and unmolested, and to Live instead of being genocided. Why is she President if not to have THAT power?

And Why did we support Obama and many of us continue to support Obama even after he sold us out and does not support us at all-  just because he still visibly appears black? Isn't that racist? Someone on the radio recently pointed out that you can be black and still supporting a racist, white supremacist agenda. Think about how Obama called the Ferguson protesters "thugs" instead of addressing the issue and ending the police brutality culture that has existed for centuries but is now his responsibility and his power to change it. The cops aren't happy with Obama, either. He's not supporting them, not in the way they most need it,anyway, to evolve - but not even in the way they want, saying they are always right, but he is still giving them far more credit and benefit of the doubt than they deserve if we are going to change the oppressive system of American policing. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate Obama not shutting down weed legalization in Colorado as Clinton-Bush had effectively delayed it for 19 years, but Trump has said he won't shut it down, either, and that's as good already, in a tweet, as what Obama did for weed in 8 years. Obama could have taken the protests seriously, taken the concerns and centuries of sufferings - of black people and most poor people of every culture in America - seriously, and done something to reform the police. He could have at least sought better prosecutions of murderous officers. But he didn't. He wanted to keep the conflict alive. That is the unfortunate truth that was fully revealed to me about the Democrats this year. I used to say that their ideals were good and many of them must be well-intentioned. I always blamed the corrupt ones, the liars, who talked the game but always wanted to prolong the problems to benefit as the "only ones" to solve them. This year I concluded that this second model is ALL they are, merely taking advantage of the good-hearted ones who they sucker into it. The Republicans always were evil and continue to be - in their own quaint way. Really they are more like victims of the "Good Guys" who are actually fake about it and perpetuating all the problems they claim to solve.

But it's Hip to support Obama, still, I suppose, or will be for a little while, still, until all this really comes out.

And it was hip to support An Yan Su Chi all these years, hip to give her the Nobel peace prize and hip to support her current genocide. And I guess people don't want to lose all those amassed "cool points" by admitting what is really going on. But in the future, hopefully soon, there will be more people than me to tell you - "Not Cool."

Just like it was always so hip in America to support Israel. The newest news, today, was an Israeli diplomat being taped talking about his "hit list" of British officials, the ones he wanted to take down politically, presumably. And I think the conclusion, from Britain, is "case closed." And the big news a week ago was that Obama has refrained from vetoing a resolution against Israeli settlements. We have been the ONLY country, against the entire rest of the world, supporting Israel's settlements which have been illegal for years or decades according to international law and literally every other country's understanding of it. The settlements are the current flashpoint of the whole conflict. We have always vetoed any resolutions that come before the Security Council regarding Israel so this is a "big fucking deal" - but we did not vote with them, just abstained. And the way our media reports it is that "Obama felt compelled to act." Seems more like compelled to Not Act - finally. It's a step in the right direction but the "twist" to say that Abstaining from a Vote, instead of JOINING the rest of the world - is how Obama felt "compelled to act" after all these years of Obstructing Justice. There was a pundit just tonight complaining about how one country, Russia, had been vetoing resolutions about Syria, preventing the U.N. from being effective, and the U.S. does the same thing to prolong the Israeli occupation.

And this is emblematic of the way our whole government works, by pretending to be on a "good side" of an issue while actually creating and prolonging conflicts to profit from them.

The big news story today was that they finally seemed to settle on a story about Russian hacking of the recent American presidential election. This whole "1984" Orwell idea that "If we can keep you from finding out about it, it didn't happen" - that idea is complete bullshit - it only takes into account a very limited number of information pathways. Let me just say that we can ALREADY bust them, expose them, in FAR more ways than they are prepared for, and in the future we will have a lot more ways of detecting things, even things they kept us from looking at when they happened.

So here: Remember a week or two ago when the Media  - all of it - reported that the Government, Obama, was saying the Russians hacked the election, the election itself? Did they ever correct that or say they got it wrong? No? They just changed the story like no one would notice? I wonder why?

You could say maybe the media got over-excited. You could say they got the story wrong, missed some details, and all reported the same flawed version. The White House never said that the Russians hacked the election ITSELF. We just jumped the gun, jumped to conclusions. (But I think they DID say that - I think they were hoping for more "Outrage", STILL deluding themselves that Clinton is Likeable, that would give them the excuse to say she "really" won.) There are a few problems with accepting this. First, if we paid any attention this year, the media was ALWAYS and ONLY reporting exactly what the Democratic Establishment wanted them to report. It was a total partnership between them, not only to elect Hillary but to completely suppress Jill Stein. Second, they had reported months ago that Russians hacked the DNC - the "full extent" of what they did, as the CIA purportedly disclosed to Obama Thursday and Trump on Friday, only included that they paid online trolls and that their "strategy" evolved. They claim the strategy, when they thought Hillary would win, was to weaken her eventual presidency, and that then it changed to "helping Trump win" - with "paid trolls and fake news stories." But the new "Official Version" is NOT that the Russians hacked the election, that was a week ago, now it is that they tried to influence voters. But the OTHER news from today was that, in light of THESE conclusions, they are now designating and protecting the election process at the highest level - like military secrets. This means the polls and databases. They are claiming the Russians did not hack the polls themselves - but the response is to make the polls more "secure" - or, under the control of Homeland Security. The problem is we have been finding out there were problems with the elections, with the polls - but the Russians didn't cause them. They were Hillary stealing votes. But once they started investigating they are basically saying both of these things: 1. nothing went wrong with the polls themselves (covering up Hillary's election fraud in the General, continuing her tradition of stealing the primary from Bernie) and 2. we must increase the security of the polls to the highest level - in other words, put them under the absolute control of the most secretive arm of the government. So they are lying - but about what?

Well, they can't keep saying that the Russians hacked the elections: Russia is powerful enough to demand proof. And they don't have it because it didn't happen. What they will have, if they expose it, is proof that Hillary tried to steal the election, electronically, so they both want to divert that whole investigation and put the whole operation under the control of Homeland Security probably to keep their tricks secret and above any future investigations - now that they believe they can dupe us into believing anything they tell us. But there was hacking going on, they just won't ever bust Hillary for it. Well, in the future "History" will, for whatever that is worth.

They are saying the Russian goal was to undermine the American voters'  faith in the elections. With "Paid Trolls and Fake Stories." If this wasn't so offensive it would be hilariously ironic. I was out-of-work most of this year and even last year I was very active politically on facebook. I know what was happening because I was there almost every day. The "fake stories" and diversions, the omissions, were all from our mainstream media. I sought out trolls - it's a spiritual thing I do, the opposite of trolling, called angelfishing - and ALL of them were Hillary-trolls, paid and unpaid. I don't even want to get into the details of it, now, but when she gave them a shout-out at her concession speech, to come out of their "secret facebook groups," we saw the strategy change and groups that they had used to waste the time of tens and hundreds of thousands of us started  kicking us out and shutting down and destroying all the records of what we had done. There are still some groups with integrity but we saw the full extent of her trolling, and fake news, firsthand. We KNOW who was behind it because of whom THEY were promoting - Hillary.

So they are saying the Russians "hacked." That's the Lead of the story - Russian Hackers. But they didn't hack the election itself, they admit now, after lying about that for a week or more. Maybe they will 1984 it and pretend they never said that. I don't ever edit this blog by the way. I may notice if someone else does, or one of my friends, Brooke, has an elephantine memory so if she reads it you can't 1984 any of it - or others like her, in present or Future. I don't think people who try to lie realize how much "we got you" in various ways. But it doesn't matter, back to the simple stuff.

What did the Russians supposedly hack? Now its back to the same story it was months ago, not "news" at all: The Russians supposedly hacked the DNC and stole a bunch of their emails and revealed them. I guess they are blaming the Russians for Wikileaks? The Russians said it wasn't them. Assange said, supposedly - I'm still not sure they did not assassinate him a week before the election but I have not been paying much attention online in recent weeks. He supposedly said a 14-year-old could have hacked the DNC - no  disrespect to the youth by repeating this unfortunate phrase, on my part. But let's just say it was the Russians, for fun. They could be 14 or any other age, it really doesn't matter.

It really doesn't matter that they are Russian, either, does it? The "crime" - well, the act at least - was hacking the DNC and exposing their emails. Emotionally, we don't want people exposing what we consider private - that is a common human concern. But we are talking about our government and exposing what they REALLY do and what they are REALLY about. Our media SHOULD do this or strive to do it, one way or another. If we have this electronic world it should not ONLY be for hiding crimes but can also be legitimately used for the opposite, for Justice, and exposing crimes can be a huge part of this. Notice I didn't say Yuge. Anyway, our media was an arm of the Clinton campaign. The public has an appetite for the Truth and the media was NOT serving it. So does it matter where it comes from? It was THEIR emails, just exposed to the world!

We were saying this at the time, months ago, in the Jill and Bernie groups. This is not Deja Vu, it is a poor attempt at social engineering using old methods that aren't up to pace with modern technology and sensibilities.

I've been writing the Ghost section of a book -  a "telephone book" I like to call it - about talking with Ghosts and Fairies and Aliens and Angels. During a plot twist in Jane Eyre I read two other books - Elevation to Krsna Consciousness by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabupada and Shambhala The Sacred Path of The Warrior by Chogyam Trungpa. More later... well, magic Now!

At the time we were saying, making many good jokes about it, that it doesn't matter who leaked the emails, Russians or Anyone, what mattered was what was IN the emails! "I can't believe the Russians are trying to influence our election by revealing how the DNC stole the Primary for Hillary!" or, more succinctly, "The Russians are trying to sway the election by revealing how we are trying to steal the election!" But the media, our media, was not reporting the truth about the emails coming out, or were only focusing on certain ones like "insulting catholics" instead of starting wars and stealing the primary and feeding Hillary debate questions beforehand and killing people, cover-ups of all kinds. It is a completely closed-circuit system.

It's the same "censorship" and restriction that are allowing the genocide in Myanmar, Burma, to continue and allows Obama and Su Chi, traitors and murderers, to remain "hip."

The now-impeached president of South Korea, Park, who has made these pages recently, has hundreds of thousands of people camping around her to force her out, for the 11th week now, I believe, though the numbers may have dwindled, some. Yesterday a monk, 64 years old, added fuel to the fire by setting himself on fire to protest her agreement with Japan, two years ago, that "put aside" the concern of sex slaves, called Comfort Women, that the Japanese made Korean women in WW2. He said she betrayed them with that agreement, set himself on fire, and made world news. I don't support self-immolation, personally, but it made the news. I read some arguments by Buddhist nuns and monks in college - thanks, Professor Glen Wallis - for and against self-immolation. Sex slavery isn't cool.

We can blame individuals or even genders - there is a debate now online about #notallmen versus #yesallwomen hashtags, responses to sexual assault stories. The truth is, most are not acted upon and the frustration over his injustice makes it even harder for victims to report it. It's a simple lack of Justice. Some governments are actively part of the problems - ours is one and I don't want to get into it, surely their are "worse" offenders in other ways and it is not an Evil Competition between countries, anyway. My point it, even if we aren't Actively Promoting sex slavery, at a government level, we certainly aren't doing ALL we can to end it. Yes, we have Law Enforcement to bust individuals and it is popular to portray this side of it in the media. But we don't have ANYONE really changing the systems that make this evil possible in the first place. That should be the role of Governments but they aren't doing it. So we ARE guilty of promoting this evil as long as we aren't doing all we can to end it.

During the Dolphins-Steelers playoff game I am watching now, the Referee is trying to thaw out his whistle and the announcers are suggesting he may be faking it for a break. This is one of those meaningful oddities, media magic, to me: Is the Judge Frozen? Is his whistle silent due to a Coldness in the Atmosphere, in Steel City? Is it all an analogy for something else, even the announcers suspecting it's all for show, the whistle isn't frozen at all, he's just faking that he can't blow it? As an indictment of our government and complicity of the media, I see it that way. Time for some whistling  -as a whistle blows to start 1st and 10, last play of the 3rd.

In this age of smartphones and interconnectedness around the world, there is a genocide going on in Myanmar, Burma, and they are just sealing off the area so no one knows about it, can't "prove it"to do anything about it. Obama has been calling it Burma. When the military took over they renamed it Myanmar when it used to be called Burma. Obama calling it Burma in the last year, maybe two, has corresponded to An Yan Su Chi being elected as president and being released from house arrest. I don't know how long the genocide and oppression of the Rohinge people has been going on, maybe while she was under house arrest, too. All I can say to that is that "we" got our way, Obama got his way, that she has since been released and is president and we are calling it Burma, not Myanmar, as the military wanted to call it. We know Obama got what he wanted when she got out of jail - if the oppression was happening then, too, why didn't he also seek to end that? Or did it only start once she became president? And she has a Nobel Peace Prize? She IS the President, but our media is apparently blaming the military for acting in this genocide and she can't do anything to stop them. So we presume it is the military who sealed off the area and she, and the government, can't do anything about it. But they also tell us that some local journalists have been allowed in and only report on selected places they are taken to tour. Does the military control all of this? Maybe. If she, as president, has no power to influence the military, what power does she have?

The other thing they mention is that the majority of the population does not care about the plight of the Rohinge because they see them as Otherized. I blamed "bad buddhism" for allowing this to happen, earlier, bit what I want to say is "She is the President! She has influence with these people who supposedly voted for her! SHE can renew the true religion and the proper function of the state, to protect all it's citizens fairly, by LEADING the people, even if she has no control over the military.

And the same can be said in America. We have leaders, supposedly. They can't control the Military, it's Skynet, completely off the chain. They can't control the police, the police won't be tamed. But they COULD lead the people to actually recognizing the problems instead of sealing them off. The genocide in the ghettos of America is slower than the one in Myanmar, presumably. It's like Rust versus Fire, but rust with a lot of bulletholes and flare-ups of other kinds, too. But just like An Yan Su Chi, Obama has Insulated the public from the problems going on, deflected the attention to conflicting perspectives instead of addressing root causes - it's the same tactic with keeping the Oil Companies in business by promoting a "climate debate" when we all know the problem and solution  - the government-corporate collusion just won't let us do it.

I saw Ralph Nader on a Johnny Carson interview from 1976 or 1978 - he was saying that Solar was finally viable and the only thing to stop it was the power of the oil companies, but it was poised to take over and should, was the only solution for PEOPLE for energy needs - he noted that the sun was ubiquitous and the power companies could not claim it or get between the consumer and the sun, which is why they want to block it. The same can be said of every evil in the world today - war just perpetuates itself and will never declare itself obsolete so it is up to the public to shut down the Military Industrial complex. Fortunately we DO have the People-power and connectedness, growing awareness, to DO this even if we have to take over or replace the Media, government, and institutions piece by piece - this is why I believe Standing Rock can naturally replace our Government, with an All-Volunteer force made of everyone willing to join and supported by the Veterans whose coordinated activities and experience are effectively making it a de facto government. We don't have to Overthrow Washington D.C., just replace it with something far more effective,run by Goodwill and Truth instead of Greed and Lies. The swamp is naturally a swamp, no need to drain it, just leave it and join the snowy plains, the New Heart of the True Country. And they just made it this way, gave ip their position as the moral leaders of America, by not doing their jobs.

They lied to us instead. If they really didn't want Trump to win, Obama could have endorsed Bernie and ended the DNC theft of the Primary. But they didn't, none of them did, they all sold us out, Bernie included. The conclusion is not to get jaded and give up  -I did that after the DNC for almost a month, maybe, and if I had not, who knows, maybe Jill would have won in a landslide - we were a lot closer than anyone realizes, or will realize, until we see how many votes were stolen from the Greens.

It takes the Truth to lead. It takes living up to your Ideals. It takes living up to your Nobel Peace Prizes  - I'm looking at you, Obama, An Yan Su Chi, and the Nobel committee. Did Bob Dylan ever show up? Maybe that's why. Maybe if you sell out and no longer represent the Truth, you don't deserve to lead. If you are encumbered by negative ideals, as well, not just lying about Good Ones, well, that will make you a bad leader, too. But maybe you will learn from mistakes, or people will be more prepared for them to stop their effects.  

Hillary stole the election from Bernie and we watched it happen, this was not a "fake news story." The videos of miles of people lined up to vote in Arizona when the DNC closed 240 polling stations down to only 60, those videos were not Russian Propaganda. It's American propaganda, and really poor, lackluster work, to try to turn all this crap they did around on other people. It's annoying and gross but it's also evil because it's killing people at home and around the world, especially in Syria today but in other places, like Burma/Myanmar, that we barely even talk about. The problem is that we can't be aware of all of these incidents at once, we can do our best to try and spread awareness of as many as possible. But we also CAN cut it all out at the source.

There is a reason, besides magic, that there are parallels between these different situations in the world. In Gambia, I believe, where the incumbent ruler is refusing to leave office, the neighboring countries are saying they will send in military to install the democratically-elected leader. Would Canada or Mexico do that, here? Would we want that? Are there maybe better ways  -even better ways, possibly, than Democracy? Or at least, certainly, better than some forms of "democracy", especially the one we live in, and apparently they have in Burma, which are still mostly lies.

The Truth will out. I'm from the Future, I don't lie about this stuff. People can repent, help it all come out faster, save their fellow humans and nature and help us ll change course  - or they can go down with it. Cuz it's going down like Pitbull says. He had some beautiful dancers at a recent show and it reminded me I wanted to give him credit for having the A-Ha guy come out and do a verse.

Still boycotting Gaga (as one of "all Hillary-supporters" unfortunately) and eager to hear Joanne - but it's a New Year and I'm getting richer and richer (thankfully, it's nice) all the time - so I might have to make a Fresh Start and buy it and listen to it - maybe as the New Spell to break her out of that evil association. I have the Day off and a New Simpsons, I hope, to look forward to in a few hours, four, so I will see - they just mentioned Andre the Giant in the basketball announcing booth and one of his meals was two Chickens and a pan of lasagna - he met him at his hangout, a place called Jimmy Weston's.

I will say one thing about Gaga: I recently saw her  - ok, two things: I saw her on TV, in a commercial for her halftime show - for the Superbowl? I know there was a boycott petition by people who took offense at her protest of Trump and probably a lot of hatefulness over various issues into the bandwagon. I have to concede that supporting Hillary IS evil, and Spirit Cooking is Bad, Shitty Magic, and I want to save her from all of this. I don't think that accepting or supporting hateful views that Trump represents is acceptable. But at least it is on the surface, in the open, and we can address it that way and help him change his course. Obama and Hillary were lying to us all along, playing both sides, playing up conflict. They were gearing up for WW3 and are still trying to salvage their plans for it. It's obnoxious and dangerous to us all. Trump is dangerous in a different way, the ideas and hatefulness he has exposed in America has always been a problem, does not deserve to be made "legitimate" - but it CAN'T be, ultimately, because Fear and Hate are Lies. It DOES deserve to be Exposed and Openly Addressed, Discussed, and Fixed  -this  was NOT happening under eight years of Obama, who played us, or got played is the most charitable way to look at him.

We can end these evils and we know how - spread awareness. I've recently come across some more insight into the birth of the Pharmaceutical and Medical racket in America. Weed ends it. Legalize it. Peace, the process and belief it it, and Love, are the Cures for War and Greed. Art is the Tool, the Magic, including boring writing like this - but wait, I'm about to get inspired, I won't wait for Spring, I will write Fairy Tales and Other stories, more and more, soon. This may be drawing to a close, who knows? But I truly believe Gaga will come out of it -  #savethecheerleadersavetheworld  - and Bernie, too, and Tulsi should go Green after visiting Standing Rock with the rest of the wonderful Veterans who went - #bernthisway - but more than any of these Guides, WE can do it, ourselves, by taking the messages they are guiding us with, taking the MESSAGE further than the previous messengers could take it, hoping they will be up for another leg in the future.

We start with the Truth. While we see the need for the Truth in a world of Lies all around us, we can't just demand that this world start being Truthful  - that will be demanded of it, anyway, we help in it, naturally, but it's Bigger than Us, Ultimately, it's the Truth - like the Goddess Isis, or Jesus, taking their names back from those who have misused them. Love Reclaimed for the Farie Folk. (We are all the same folk, ultimately, I will be writing about the forms we take soon.) To get the Truth we have to be honest.

I love Stefani, Gaga, I love her and want to be more with her, as always. People would predict for years that my inevitable disillusionment with her would be devastating. It really wasn't that bad, I just feel bad for her. As I said, I saw her twice. Just now, an hour ago, on a Superbowl commercial - for her halftime show, I think, I hope. All I am saying it I think it would be nice if she rose above these politics and used her place of contention, with the petition against her, to reconcile the country - all she would have to do is denounce Hillary and admit she was duped - or just take a High Road and say she wants everyone, even those she disagrees with, to enjoy her show because Love DOES overcome Hate and she wants to share it with them. But there simply must be a break with Hillary, eventually, unless Hillary herself transforms.

The Truth is we KNOW Trump was Hillary's puppet at the start of the campaign, just a stooge and insurance for her to win, that's why he said all the offensive stuff he did to dominate the primary and lose the general. But he did soften and turn at the end - he was trying to win - after they took it too far, apparently, trying to smear him. He may STILL be her puppet - It may just be how our government works that they pass "responsibility" back and forth, so we keep blaming the last president, but its really the same system in control all the time.  The point is that he hasn't done anything yet to show us what it will be like, with certainty, though of course there are concerns over his appointments. We know Obama has been lying to us and playing up conflicts instead of using his power and influence to solve problems. I have heard that ALL establishment Republicans including the Bushes, Cheney, and the Kochs all supported Hillary over Trump. Someone from Silicon Valley claimed that None of the Bigwigs there had any sort of Plan B for Trump winning the election. It does seem like, one way or another, the next phase could be "anti-establishment" and this can turn, or be turned, to the advantage of the People and the Planet, as Ironic as that may seem.

The other time I saw Gaga recently was on facebook, wearing a black T shirt with the message that she was one of over 42 million people, or whatever, who opposed Trump. I had two responses to this: We may still oppose Trump and what he represents but millions of those votes, if you are counting Hillary's tally, were stolen from Jill Stein and Gary Johnson. And my other response is that Gaga said in an interview, not too long ago, that she wanted to focus on Art and was dismayed about having to sell perfume, which I assume would apply to T shirts, too, and I wonder why she is not feeling "better than this." Mostly I wonder how she is insulated from the Truth about the folks she is associated with - they are using her, exploiting her, and she doesn't need them, they need her.

This is the condition we are ALL in, oppressed by this system. But w don't need the system., they need us. We can remove ourselves and start over, we can reform it from within but we need to be continually reforming ourselves from within, too.

I've been accused of being  Trump supporter when I question the media spin on things in discussions with my Lover. I think the fact that this offends me says that I am not a Trump Supporter but at the same time I truly believe we avoided World War 3 by not electing Hillary, and we are exposing the evils of the Media-Democrat collusion, and for these things I appreciate him. And I want to point out another subtle point. In her interview with Oprah Michelle Obama said that, unlike many people who did not support Obama when he took office, she and Obama would set the example of supporting Trump when he took office. Of course she is saying "we are better than you, we take the high road" but also she is essentially, at a more basic level, saying she and Obama will be Trump Supporters - more than I will be, anyway. That's the whole point - this is not a "mistake" or Freudian slip or coded message - not intentionally - but magically it reveals that they are all playing the same game and occasionally blaming each other but in no way holding each other accountable  -why Obama did not pursue any war crimes charges against Bush when he took office, for example. And he did not punish anyone for rigging the economy to pay for the war, borrowing trillions from China, and just bailed them out when they caused a global recession.

Another thing that offended me was when Michelle Obama said that after eight years their legacy was to show that Hope was possible. I thought the campaign of Hope and Change meant that we Hoped he could Win and once in Office he would Change things. Instead the pushed the goal-posts back and said 8 years in office allowed us to Hope - it was more of No Steps Forwards and Two Steps Back. We expected change and WILL create change. It does begin in ourselves and I personally am going to start doing some things differently.

I'm going to start drawing again, for example. I still love Gaga but want to love her Better than I ever have before - I've been holding myself back far too much, still. I see it as a quest, now - I'm not disappointed in her, I don't blame her for keeping bad company and being manipulated. I know there is a way out and like all ways out these ways are Love. Music has always, naturally, been my way of dealing with sadness and things -drawing is, too, but it serves other purposes as well in different ways while music can have that "bent" for me, not always but maybe more than other artforms. I'm done with sadness for now and will make happy music, too, but will also focus on some art-magic with different powers. I want to fall in love, more in love, and have a lot of fun and make way for others to do the same. Instead of so much of "this" - telling people how I see it, how I feel it should "work", I will just do it, more, and if I have to do it myself, I will. It's always nice to find people who understand and want to help, too, but I know drawing, art, will be the best way to meet them.

And Fairy tales: I hope I have gotten this mechanical writing out of my system, more and more, and I feel ready, especially when I have those love-inspirations, to be the Fairy Tale writer I feel is my destiny. I truly expect a magical outcome from this shift in myself, as well, and hope political news will get better and better "coincidentally" - but I do want to return to the songs of Artpop, and I hope soon Joanne, and just focus this on Gaga, better, and hope that coincides with her refocus away from this game she was caught in.

And this is true for all who are caught up in false loves or weren't ready, yet, for the love they found.

Oh, and Happy New Year, and looking forward to a Happy Chinese New Year, too  -the year of the Rooster! May we make it wonderful and bring each other luck and love and happiness abundantly!

Horse Dream, Peace Spell for Standing Rock: gagablog #131

Last night I was going to write this as a spell to end the Evil at Standing Rock and to root out evil, over-defensiveness,insecurity, prejudice, fear, resentment, guilt, misunderstanding and hatred within myself, specifically how those forces impede Love. I ended up just doing the spell instead, we did, and I will maybe talk about it after the Horse Dream. The whole idea is that the forces advancing the Machine, the Oil Pipelines everywhere, those forces have made victims of the people they have rallied to abuse the Water Protectors. Love can awaken these people's hearts so they can put down their weapons and leave the People and the Land and Water in Peace. The same can happen in conflicts of Love, the aggressor and insister of having One's Way, the Ego, can give up instead, and accept the Love of the Other. Water Protectors are offering prayer and Love if the people can just accept it. Denying this is evil in the essential way that denying or ruining a love relationship is evil and it happens for the same reason: fear and suspicion of the "Other", prejudice and a desire to punish someone for perceived transgressions when maybe perceptions being skewed is the actual problem, essentially demonizing the other in order to more fully justify one's own plan. Love is the only answer and solution to this. In relationships it means, not avoiding conflict, but using the idea that when you realize you are "fighting" or leading to or provoking a fight, it is a signal to give up. Once you learn about them you can see how the Water Protectors are the Guides for the way Love can Set us Free and Obama's Oil Police are victims of, but examples of, how insisting on ones Own Way, denying the needs and wishes of the Other, is the source of Evil. If the Love of Money s the root of all evil, the Love of People, each other, ourselves, Life, Nature  -anything Better than Money, is the cure for it. But instead of writing all of this out as a spell for everyone, and this simplified version is better, anyway, we did some magic to Do It, and then I had this Horse Dream this morning, laying behind my love, spooning, and that was the position I had the dream in, I believe.

I was leading a Horse and we were walking down a sidewalk. The horse had a saddle but I felt bad enough that we were on that hard surface but we were going somewhere in a group of at least three people, I feel. One was my lover and she may have also been leading a horse, I don't know. We got out of the way when a vehicle came up the sidewalk from behind us, in front of a corner gas station, maybe. This was like a golf cart or military Jeep with no top. Then another vehicle came down the sidewalk - we were going slightly uphill -and this one also reminded me of a golf cart but also a farming combine, only smaller. It had like a cylindrical cage, like chicken-wire, in the front, like a steam-roller. I wanted to get the horses off the sidewalk anyway because I felt bad for their hooves and was just passing over a ditch that ran under the sidewalk to do so, onto a little grassy knoll, when the "Combine" came down and we just got off to the side. We went over that knoll to an intersection, there may have been a trolley or railway station as well, I did not look forward much. My horse had stopped at the edge of the grass and I had asked at least once before about riding it, either before the Combine or on the knoll. And when I asked again Melanie said, as she had said before, not to ride the horse and "that horse looks asleep." She had maybe offered this information on her own, I know she said more than once that it looked like it was asleep. His eyes were open - I believe he was a Palomino, or mostly rich brown, and seemed very healthy but I think he did not have horseshoes and I was worried for his hooves. He had a saddle and I mentioned why did they have saddles if we weren't going to ride them, and even why did we bring them if we weren't going to ride them, wouldn't it be faster just to walk ourselves - I wanted to ride and get to our destination sooner.

But when she said he was asleep, or looks or seems asleep, I took that as a reason to not ride him, in addition to worrying for his hooves. Then I looked at the horse and he was tan with white hair and did not have a saddle and I remembered that I have only been on a horse a few times, I'm not a good rider, and if he threw me off I could get hurt or killed. So that confirmed the decision to not ride him. I also wondered if he was asleep when I had to gently tug at the lead to get him to come back onto the sidewalk at the edge of the grass. We turned left on this sidewalk and parted with the company with no ceremony or wave or anything. We may have started passing zoo enclosures, on the right, at this point, "across the street". But the first thing I remember was the Baby Lion. He was on the sidewalk and is the only thing I saw on the left side until talking with someone neat the end of the dream. There was a low wall on that side of the sidewalk and the lion was about as tall as the wall, three or four feet. He was thick, like a stuffed animal, and had unusual stripes and markings, like a lynx or panther or leopard or combination, like a wolverine, because there was some design to it, but the form and mane of a small lion. And the patterns of his fur were colorful with maybe some black or blue stripes, thick bands, but mostly light colors and even iridescent or glowing white and yellows, it's hard to remember, maybe even some pinks and purples. I felt slight apprehension at his lion-ness but he just stood there maybe licking his paw as we walked by him. Then the road and sidewalk was not "suburban" America the way it felt before. We were on a "gravel" or pebble or mostly dirtish road and I no longer worried as much for the horses hooves but was happy leading him along, now thinking of riding anymore.

There were enclosures on the right side of the road that we passed by - everything was flat and wide-open with no features or trees to be seen, just flat scrubby-grass fields with these enclosures - it made me think of a zoo in some part of Africa. The enclosures were all chain-link fences. The animals were in small-seeming enclosures, cramped, and even had low chain-link fences for slightly slanted roofs, meeting like tent panels so only the center had a little more height, only slightly taller than the animals inside. We may have passed horses, first, and maybe they had open-topped areas to roam. Each small enclosure had at lease one larger fence encircling it, maybe two rings of fences around it, but the areas the animals were in were within 20 or 30 feet of the road, like a zoo. I felt like I pointed out the horses to the horse and felt sad for them and glad for my horse to be free and felt he felt sadness and sympathy, too. He had dark mane again now as he did before and some white spots but mostly dark body.

When I felt a large tongue lick my ear and right side of my face in one big lick I turned to lick him back, like returning the kiss of a dog, trying to make more of a connection with him, and ended up licking the corner of the eye of a camel. He was a camel now and in that dream-way this was not at all surprising, as if he had always been a camel, but I first noticed by the size of his eye, and tongue when I thought about it, just after I licked him. So we walked with me leading the camel and passed an enclosure of camels. I am not sure if I saw horses with the horse and had the sympathy feeling with him, but I certainly did with the camels because we felt bad that the roof over the camels was just over their heads. We walked along and I had no idea of riding the camel, I don't think.

Then I had a strange time-space lapse where I was at the Denver Zoo but i somehow don't recall this part, here, almost like it could have been at the end of the dream then re-inserted at this time- at the Denver Zoo.

The next thing I remember was being at the giraffe area and the camel was now a giraffe and always had been, as far as I could tell. I did not notice he was a giraffe until we were at the giraffe enclosure, but the time-space change had this scene before the giraffe enclosure. I was wrapping my arms around the neck of a giraffe I was with, saying how much I loved being with him, or "I love you Dipali" (or Tonko, or something, I can't remember his name.) I knew his name and knew he was one of the giraffes from the Denver Zoo and during this scene, which seemed like "inserted" into this dream time after the giraffe enclosure, I knew he was a giraffe I had met the last time we went to the Denver Zoo (in awake life) and I had fed him. So I knew his name and was proud to be with him wandering the zoo  -and I was not leading him but even hanging on him for fun but letting him pull me along. The giraffe I was with at the enclosure was the horse-camel and maybe a little different from This Specific giraffe.

At the Giraffe enclosure I was with a Giraffe, the camel that was a horse had become this giraffe and was the same as he always was, the one I was with. I also think my daughter or someone else, who I did not see bu perceived and called to, was to my left - I was  trying to get her to look at some creatures and she either said she had already seen them or said "okay I will look," sounding annoyed with me but I felt sure she would be happy to see them. This may have been before or after the Giraffe enclosure but I was with the giraffe, I believe. Even if these last two scenes, the small creatures I am about to describe, and the Denver Zoo scene, even if they happened before the giraffe enclosure it was obvious I was with a giraffe I just didn't really "notice" it, in some way, until we were with the caged giraffes. The small creatures may have been the last part of the dream, though, after the giraffe cage.

The small creatures were like miniature kangaroos or koalas but maybe two different things than those, kind of light brown and tan in colors, I think, but possibly other colors. They were maybe six inches to ten inches tall and had smaller babies in their pouches that were squirming around and popping up. They were all incredibly cute and furry and I was calling to someone to see them because they were delightful. And they were odd for being small, if one of them was a kangaroo, and maybe odd colors, but they were also two different animals and just seemed completely new, to me.

The giraffe enclosure was the end of the dream if it was not those small animals. The giraffe I was with was full size, as big as the ones I have seen at the zoo - and one of the teenagers there is larger than some of the adults. But the ones in the enclosure, three of them at least, were slightly smaller. I did not notice really the color of the giraffe I was with, could have been "natural" or colorful, but it was different than the ones in the cage. They were white with yellow spots. They were pretty and did not seem ill but we felt bad for them, that they might be sad, in their fenced area and roof just over their heads. Then there were baby giraffes. These were smaller than in real life and with more differences: not as skinny, more thick like Gumby or stuffed animals. They were kind of like My Little Ponies or tall-necked zebras and they had zebra stripes, I think they were black and white but could have been yellow and white, but zebra stripes instead of spots. I felt sure that as they matured the stripes would turn into the yellow spots. These were incredibly cute, only three or four feet tall so smaller and thicker than baby giraffes, and more horse-like, and there were about six to a dozen of them.

Then, even cuter than the baby giraffes were the baby-baby giraffes - not their babies but babies at an even earlier stage. These were certainly black-and-white zebra-striped and had a completely different shape and I just understood this as the three stages of this kind of giraffe's development. But they looked in body-type more like Linoons from Pokemon or ferret-prairie dogs - they had furry faces like otters or beavers and stood a little taller than these creatures but not much and had no longer necks yet. Their fur was bushy and they were super adorably cute with close large eyes like some toys, only more natural and cuter. They were the essence of cuteness, these baby-baby giraffes, and either these or the marsupials, or turning to the giraffe I was with and kind of beholding him, or hugging him "again," was the end of the dream.

I have a few ideas about the meanings from the dream. Since reading Black Elk Speaks I have been aware of Horses more since they figure into his visions and culture so much. Seeing the footage from Standing Rock, the first report CNN ever did from there just a couple of days ago, after we made a petition to implore them to do their jobs, they showed someone riding a horse and talked about the many horses at the camp. They even said that the horses were the descendents of some of the horses that the people had when they fought the Army a century ago but she didn't really mention that many of the people there are descendents from those times and tragedies as well. And Horses have been more on my mind even before Black Elk Speaks for a few reasons, for years now in the Unicorn context of Gaga mythology and Polyamory "mythology" but more specifically from the Grateful Dead's "Eyes of the World" for many longer years, the line "Sometimes we ride on your horses, sometimes we walk alone" and even Morrissey's "Ride our minds, if you must, but there's always a line you don't cross" which I take in this same context, as well as various scraps of Indian mythology about horses and some from Buddhism, or the analogy of "dog-carts and goat-carts and ox-carts" etc. This year I also bought a book at the thrift store that had a card in it, "Horse." It is from Animal Spirit Knowledge Cards copyright The Susan Eleanor Boulet Trust, published by Pomegranate Communications, Inc. PO Box 6099, Rohnert Park, CA 94927, printed in Hong Kong. It has beautiful art of a horse on one side and a description on the back. Since I don't want to wait to ask permission I hope it is okay if I paraphrase some of the content of the text: The Symbolism is "friendship, wisdom, strength." This reminds me of the bonds forming between good people who are coming together, and awakening goodness in others, to oppose the evils of this Machine, to unite as One People in friendship and the wisdom that We need to save our world from ourselves. The description mentions that it is "a kind intelligent beast that has been frequently associated with propitious events." This may have been the first dream I ever had that featured a horse. I believe it does signal a big event at Standing Rock, hopefully the retreat of the Oil Police and Other Abusive Police, the arrival of Good Cops to protect the people and send a message or the increasing population of veterans there and the message they are sending - all of these can help convince the bad cops to change their ways and quit or at least defy their immoral and illegal orders. We, the public, can spread the information that it IS the Sioux People's Land by treaty and they are protecting all of our water supply by opposing the pipeline as we will continue to do to end pipelines everywhere and convert to healthy, alternative energy. It mentions the Chinese Zodiac and says that "horse people are friendly, adventurous, and passionate" which to me are good descriptors of ALL Water Protectors because that is the spirit that Gathers them and Us in support of them. Then it mentions Greek mythology and the "winged Pegasus was the source of inspiration and poetry." This addition of wings, like the Horn of a unicorn, but with different connotations, is how the hardship and suffering of this Passion are also what leads to Beautiful Art, writing, and music, like the Blues. It just goes into a transformation from "merely" the bond that unites us and saves the world with wisdom and friendship and kindness and takes flight of imagination into even more heavenly realms of Spirit. I came up with the facebook status that the "Perfect Gift Idea: more "Imagination Christmas  - Donate to Standing Rock!" to play on the Simpsons episode where Ned gives all their money to Homer or some other charitable cause in December and tells Rod and Todd they will have an "Imagination Christmas" again this year and they cheer with delight. That is the True Spirit of Giving, that if we can help those in dire need and help a cause that is at the heart of all causes, ultimately we can save the world this way, the True Spirit of Christmas and Jesus. The Horse card then mentions the Ramayana, Hindu mythology or a controversial part of it, and the Horse's association with Fertility. I learned some about this in a class at UGA and all I want to say is that the horse freely roams for a year and they continued this tradition annually or whenever they got a new king, I forget. But it Roams for a year then returns to the palace. The original horse that did this, according to the card, returns and the king "Dasa-ratha receives word that he will have four sons, all of whom become the incarnation of the god Vishnu, the preserver of life on earth." The connection of this with Water Protectors should be obvious but I also want to highlight the "four directions" of roaming the earth and how these four directions are a pattern that unites all belief systems - even though they are not, possibly, associated with the four directions, the four sons, in the Hindu myth, and maybe they are, I don't know, I do know that most religions have some form of this "four-direction" or "quarters" or "four apostles" model. There is enough natural truth to it that it can unite all people if we focus on how we have this ":fourness" in common and try to relate to each other by breaking things down and comparing along this unifying framework.  

Also one of my new and dearest friends, Phillip Gregory, from facebook, sent me a nice meme of a purple horse's body with the words "Ready? something magical is about to happen." This to me is the "Horse of a Different color you've heard tell about" from Oz. It represents wishes and transformation and the way all of these colors are united in One the same way Four Son Avatars of Vishnu are united in that Divinity of Preservation. We preserve and survive through change and the guidance of the magic of love.

The other animals in the dream all seem to have the most significance. The start of the dream seemed to be Standing Rock itself - we, the horses and the people, in some opposition with the machines - I don't remember the vehicles having drivers - with the Machine. It had the sidewalks and development of America, modern suburbia, at that time. The Transition to a more "African" or flat and featureless, but also more "natural" with less development, environment (wherever that is) was only after passing the Lion. The Lion seems to have a few connotations to me: First is Africa itself because it is an African animal, and possibly Asia as well? But it also had more tiger-like or other animal markings which seemed to connect it to other continents. The Lion is a Warrior Symbol and the colorization implied the Indigenous Warriors who have gathered at Standing Rock - Warrior Traditions exist in many traditions all over the world and the "Native American Warrior Tradition" and Samurai are the first two examples used in the book "Shambala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior" by Chogyam Trungpa which I recently started reading after leaving off after the first few chapters, I think, 20 or 30 years ago. The Lion also became the symbol of the Berniecrats this year since we wanted to distinguish ourselves from the Donkey / Ass of the DNC - we used the Bird and the Lion. Also, the Lion is a Symbol for Trump. Trump recently took Bernie's advice to keep Carrier from moving factories out of the country, threatening them with the loss of defense contracts, presumably. NPR pundits were trying to smear this as "Crony Capitalism." Since I don't "believe" in capitalism anyway, I believe there is inherent evil in it, my response, another facebook status, was "We don't even Mind Crony Capitalism as long as the Cronies are Good - Bernie/Trump, not EVIL - Hillary/Obama." They have been trying to smear Trump with the pipeline, too, ever since they just started reporting on it after the election, saying he ha stock in it and that the Oil Companies all look forward to the Trump Era, but he sold the stock in the summer so this is untrue and an attempt to tie him to the pipeline. It is really all Hillary's bank backers which is why one form of protest has become for everyone to take their money and business out of these banks. And it is "her" media trying to smear Trump with it, now. We don't know from Trump that he stands with Standing Rock, and all the Veterans who do now, too, but I feel it is coming and the sooner the better. We do know that his Media Arm, Breitbart, specifically Alex Jones and Infowars, traditionally smeared and distrusted, have now taken the side of the Water Protectors, Veterans, and People which can only be from a private cue from Trump as they "switched over" in just the last month.

My greatest hope is that Trump is even now only appointing people to please his base and backers but will fire these people. ("you're fired - a new facebook friend pointed out that "He enjoys firing people" in this context.) They will be Place-holders and support-gainers, Chris Christies, and then they will be replaced with better people. The fact that some people find them so objectionable, and others wildly embrace them, will make Trump a great compromise when he picks other people to actually do the work: they will be readily accepted as far better by the objectors and easy to sell to the supporters who are enraptured in love for Trump and will be even more so if he continues to move wisely, building good faith with other leaders and countries, and actually comes out on the side of the People now that the tide at Standing Rock has turned in our favor, largely thanks to the attention and networking of the Veterans to reach wider audience and different people, because most people simply don't even know about it,much less the horrors of what Obama's Racist KKK-Nazi Oil Goons are doing to the people there.

The Lion mostly seems to symbolize the Warrior Tradition and even specifically the Indigenous Peoples of America - something about the colors which seemed to include black, yellow, white and a red-pink-purple iridescence, at least. And the Youth and smallness of it seemed important, like it is growing but is still a Cub to what it will become. It was almost Bear-like or possibly like a Kalidah from Oz in shape and "mixture." But it was mostly a Lion which has that Regal Quality, and compared to all other animals in the dream it was at Liberty.

The Horses and Camels did not seem to have any striking,unnatural colorization, only the Lion and Marsupials and Giraffes, but maybe other animals I forgot did. The Camel certainly connects with the Middle East. I feel like all of this transformation and International animals relate to a couple of things, in the Political and Spiritual Realms. I was watching one of Kevin Gilbertt's videos, he is a reporter from Standing Rock, and he read a comment from someone in New Zealand that they supported Standing Rock and that "their struggle" was Our Struggle, too - implying they have a situation they are dealing with, fighting the Machine, and they know it is the Same Struggle. I know Many People all over the world, with Many different issues and causes, are finding this Solidarity with Standing Rock. Many others that have not even expressed it or recognized it, the connection is there and we are all reaching out to each other and to find new concerns so we can fix every one's problems together. There was a Veteran interviewed on the Jimmy Dore (?) show and he spoke very wisely about the nonviolent actions they will take there. And he eloquently tied everything together, at least pointed to how this is the "same cause" all over the world, in different ways, and how we can all come together in different ways to solve this one. And then he said that after we fix this we WILL move on to the next issue and the next. He mentioned that the veterans had fit into this existing community and Network, led by the people from the 300 gathered Tribes, and had put together this whole System with their own roles and that this system would continue in place like a "voluntary army" to keep doing this kind of work, now that they made it. It is kind of a "from scratch" version of what I always hope the Military itself will become, an International Rescue Force once we overcome War with Love. The Camels were in the Same Situation the rest of us were, caged with only the Privileged able to roam free, and him at my side and led by me towards some cause to rescue the rest, just as the animals in the rest of the world were doing.

The Marsupials brought New Zealand and Australia, their People and Nature, into the Network. And of course the giraffes connected with Africa, ultimately. I heard on the radio last night how "worldwide" AIDS is no longer a "death sentence" (I Hate that terminology by the way and implication sex and drug addiction, etc, are crimes) and is manageable - but that in Africa it is still an epidemic due to poverty and related conditions-  oppression. This, and the resource, political, and economic wars we wage and foment in Africa to keep them oppressed makes it another front line of this global struggle. But these are the ways these things are connected politically around the world and the other side of it is spiritual.

I think of "Native American Spirituality" as the best understanding of the animals as our ancestors that I am at all familiar with. And I marvelled at how often Horses were the spirits in Black Elk Speaks. I believe that Horses were brought to "The New World" by Europeans, that they are not native here, but that the native people here developed a powerful relationship with them. I wonder if, having so much connection with the native animal spirits, forming that connection with a "New" animal just helps "fill in" some of the Circle of Life, just as we are supposed to All come Together as people and complete the Circle, from all "sides" and realize we are all on the same side, with Nature. I wonder how, as all of us rediscover more natural spirituality and our way within or along the Warrior Path we will have more animal spirits we connect with and how that will both bring us closer together from different places and cultures but awaken new powers and understanding within all of us as well.

The Pokemon nature of the Giraffes, having three evolutions, and the smallest really resembling pokemon, also seemed to connect with "super-natural" and fairy aspects of nature as well as the pop-culture world. The iridescent, glowing, and "alternate" colorization's of the animals did this, too, as well as the changing Animal I was with, a Horse of Different Countries. In the end, I don't think people ride Giraffes like we do horses and Camels. It was kind of like an evolution for him where he reached a point where he was "carrying" me along, but as equals, and as the Freed Version of the Zoo Giraffe. This is a sign that honoring our animal ancestors and freeing them from various bondages will allow them to rise up and become our equals in respect more than just our Tools. If we can gain this understanding from animals we can treat people this way, too. It was "ironic" but also symbolic that the CNN reporter was able to connect with the beauty of the Horses at Standing Rock even if she was not yet responding to that as fully in the People. She mentioned the blockade after the horse and rider went by and she talked a lot about the upkeep of the animals and that people were well-provisioned but also the necessity to keep supply lines open. According to her the State and Police had closed the Roads, the Governor threatening to leave them unplowed, but then the reporter said than an hour later they changed their minds or said that was a mistake, probably due to us pointing out the evil and illegality of it online. I saw in a video from Jill Stein that included a girl just returned from Standing Rock that one man died from lack of medical services due to the police or oil police blockade. And I read a horrific account from an 18-year old girl of the Crow nation who worked security and cooked at Standing Rock who was subject to beating, neglect, multiple strip-searches by male and female officers, left without clothes or blanket in a cold dog kennel overnight and numbered on her wrist, Nazi-style, verbally abused and humiliated and only fed an orange over two days. Then last I heard, a couple of days after posting that, which we have shared thousands of times from an 111,111-  member group, (but facebook represses it from showing up most of the time in their KKK-Hillary Way - also dont allow Standing Rock non-profit donation groups) she is headed back to Standing Rock.  She is just one of the ones who have told this and similar stories  but these cops, bad cops, racists and Nazis, who call the people "prairie N*****" to provoke them, have done this to many many women and who know how badly men have been treated, or children. One video is titled "Veteran savagely beaten by standing Rock police for picking flowers" and that is as emblematic as the Hippie putting  Daisy in the National Guard's Machine gun. It's just reflective of the Modern times and Movement. The girl from the Jill video said that Rubber Bullets were the BEST thing they faced. She said these goons were using water cannons in freezing temperatures, which we've seen video of,  unprovoked (they lie and say there were fires, but the only fire was caused by the goons concussion grenade) mace and tear gas (and there is speculation of other chemical or biological agents and possibly sprays from aircraft) and also high-tech sound and electromagnetic disruption to nauseate and disorient people. I have also seen an article about various kinds of cyber warfare, from messing with phones to disrupt them to using them to spy on people, coming on and recording on their own and strange unsettling phenomena like that. And we know facebook and twitter are active in censoring and suppressing this movement. Twitter removed the #DNC3 hashtag from millions of tweets after restoring service following the black-out "hacker-attack" that shut it down, along with Wikileaks, reddit, and other outlets that exposing Hillary  - why they were taken out for hours the night before the election.

The election recount at this time has Jill Stein's vote count up over 300%. I wanted to write this before checking any news online but I am hopeful for a breakthrough. I am also still hopeful and making magic that Gaga, Obama, the Oil Cops, and Hillary herself will evolve and throw off the shackles of evil and Lies. I feel encouraged that Trump seems to be making my best dreams for him come true, that it was all an act to get elected by "those folks" and he will really just work together with everyone, nationally and internationally, to do Good Things. If this is giving him Too much credit then I merely hope the same thing I hope for Hillary, that he evolves in order to become this, the most helpful and hopeful and Unifying he can be.

And I truly believe Standing Rock is at the Heart of EVERY issue in this world, it is the Place where we can direct all Positive Energy and Support to show that the People and Planet will win. Once successful there the network will only continue to double in power and ability until we basically do the Governments job for them, together, on our spare time as a volunteer force. And then the wasteful corrupt government that only serves itself will fade into obscurity. If the people from it want to join us and have their skills and talents be valued, they will be most welcome. Just as, when more and more DNC corruption is exposed and Jill Stein and other Green candidates retrieve more and more of our votes, the Democrats will be completely over and their people and politicians will join us in the new "Established" Green Party. But WE will keep true to the ideals Jill Stein and associates have led us to even when Tulsi Gabbard takes over as our nominee to be the first Green and Woman President of the United States in 2020.

None of the opposition to these things have Truth and Justice on their side  -this is Superman stuff and I want to thank ALL Water Protectors and Allies and Supporters for Restoring the Great Read Road, The American Way, and the Way of Nature, Peace, and Harmony Worldwide. As I typed that my lover had looked up the news when I asked if there was any for today, a few minutes ago, and just reported that the Governor of North Dakota invited the leaders of the Sioux to meet with him and they, the tribal council accepted. A date has not been set but they have never met and have talked on the phone before. My first fear is that the government is foolishly thinking they can do something like they did in Oregon to Amon Bundy and company, arrest the Leaders and then hope to somehow end the "standoff." This would not be a good idea but the Governor's statement says the focus will be co-operation, finding a compromise, and restoring and continuing goodwill between them, so there is every reason to be hopeful. As she reported that to me I had opened Black Elk Speaks to see if it was called the Great Red Road (just typed "read", thanks typo fairies!) and the moment she said that the council agreed to meet the Governor I was reading the lines of his ancestry "My mother's name was White Cow Sees, her father was called Refuse-To-Go, and her mother, Plenty Eagle Feathers." It was when she said "agreed to go" that I read his grandfather's name, but maybe this is not a bad omen, maybe it is a good omen that an old cycle will finally be broken.

I will choose to focus on that and promote positivity and hopeful outcomes, the surrender of the oppressive forces, online. And I will continue to work on these issues until they are resolved and then find my place in the developing network to address all the other problems of the world one we fix this one, the place where all these issues have come together and come to a head, and all the people have come together and joined in our Hearts, Standing Rock.

I am boycotting Gaga's new album along with every other Hillary supporter until they wake up. I do intend to finish my discussion of Artpop, picking back up with Sexxx Dreams, finally, after all of this - or when I finally have some "sex dreams" that would be a worthy interjection if we have not fixed this yet. I know the people there are dedicated to stay until they win their rights and save the environment for us, with out help, and will move on and expand their efforts, we all will, ultimately, together. I look forward to reconnecting with Gaga and I still can't resist sharing her pictures on facebook, I still  hope we will meet and date and fall in love, but I also wish she would stop supporting Hillary and like all of them I feel compassion that they are victims of evil lies -I want to rescue her and everyone from evil. And I do want to fall in love with her, she's just so incredible to me. I actually wrote this, the following, to start this but decided to save it for the end instead, but it ties it all back to Gaga and Sexxx Dreams and brings it full circle, between the Evil in the world and the Evil that keeps us divided, as lovers or strangers.

Last night, Standing Rock was in my Horse dream, I was going to do real magic things, you were in my dream, too, making love in my American dream. "Last night, (and more and more, every passing day this year, every changing moon) I was thinking about you (Standing Rock) our lover's quarrel (we are all people, all on the same side, but those on one side of this Machine-Made conflict, have denied the value of the "others", are demonizing and abusing them to the detriment of all) and  it was kind of dirty (the things that Obama's oil goons are doing to Water Protectors, and what the government does to manipulate us through the media and social media, are all "dirty tricks" and evil - the LOVE offered to oppose this can get ":dirty" too, in good ways) hurts, more than i can say" (but we can listen to the Water Protectors who are there and they can tell the story to us and for us, the heart of the pain of humanity's struggle against the machine.)

That was the old intro, here is the new closing -thanks, I love you!.

Thanks again to Mother Earth for supporting us all, Mother Nature - and thanks to Mother Monster for the Love and Inspiration, please accept our love and inspiration in return and hear and join this worldwide message of Love - Katy Perry, too - I'd love to be the one who could convey this message to either of you, and have to credit Katy's ex-boyfriend Russell Brand for doing a great job promoting the Truth and raising awareness on so many issues, including Standing Rock. I know love Can fix all problems, correct all injustices, expose all lies, and bring people together in Unity and Harmony and I hope all people who are held back from it can join in, too. I would love to be the one to discover this with Stephanie, or Katy, because I love their spirit and beauty and music and power and inspiration and magic and LOVE and believe we can find even deeper and more glorious levels and aspects of it, together - and I'm available if they want me. But I just hope for Everyone that they find love with Anyone, or fall in love with the World, and become aware and part of this Love-Current engulfing the world.
