Tuesday

It's US Income Tax Day -- Trump's promise to overhaul the tax code is in serious jeopardy, and his refusal to release his tax returns is emerging as a central hurdle. Democrats have pledged not to cooperate on a new plan unless they know how it might benefit the president and his family, and a growing number of Republicans are also calling for him to share his tax forms. Will Trump ever reveal his taxes? Doubtful.

Politics is a changing game ... filled with surprises. Across the pond ... UK Prime Minister Theresa May to seek early election   CNN - April 18, 2017

More politics ... Supporters of President Erdogan of Turkey like the idea of a strong leader standing against external aggression. In a phone call on Monday, Trump congratulated Erdogan after his victory in a referendum that expands the power of the presidency, but whose results the opposition has contested. The vote makes it less likely that Turkey will be able to join the European Union.

  Here's Why Trump Cares So Much About Tuesday's Election   NBC - April 18, 2017
Why so much hubbub over a single congressional seat in Georgia? Tuesday's special election in the state's 6th Congressional District is drawing national media attention because the vote is being seen as an early indicator of more consequential elections to come, especially next year's midterms.

Dr. Cleaner

Yesterday, I updated my Mac OS system to Sierra and am happy to report all of my applications made a successful transition. I decided to update because of all the pop-up malware, etc. that was driving me crazy. I am by far not an authority on this. Next I cleared the history on Safari and Chrome. From there I went to the Apple Store - the only place I would buy a cleaner - and found a free download called Dr. Cleaner which was updated March 27, 2017. Waiting to see what happens as the day progresses. Forgot to mention - I'm having fun with Siri.

Panic in Coney island

Sunday, while I was busy washing my terrace doors and windows - a neighbor drove to Coney Island for the day as she likes the beach. After she returned she told me this was as scary as the day she escaped The North Tower on 9/11. False reports of gunshots during dispute sets off chaotic stampede at Coney Island. What should we more scared of - local crazies or terrorists? I know this list can be much longer but I'm stopping here

Easter Weekend

I want to wish everybody a happy holiday weekend whether you celebrate or not. The weather for the most part looks great. You may want to take a break from the news, unless bored and have become addicted to the day-to-day dramas as if watching reality TV. Dramatic events are changing as quickly as Trump's opinions. Nothing is going to change what is coming so you can either sit back and observe or get upset and protest or troll. It will show you where you are emotionally.

Creation ---- Beyonce, 35, cancelled her performance this year due to her pregnancy. So when is she due? Here's What MDs Estimate. When I last saw her baby bump I would put her about a month ahead of Amal Alamuddin Clooney, 39, who is due in June with a girl and a boy by IVF. I also think Beyonce went the IVF route. Amal is carrying smaller and hides her pregnancy well. At the end of the day ... four healthy babies will be born to celebrity couples and the world ... of entertainment will rejoice. Last month. George and Amal bought another home - a luxury apartment in Manhattan. I believe Beyonce and Jay-Z also live here among their other homes.

The Return to Chaos is Often Puzzling

Many of you are following current events - based on your programming - that lead up to the end of the experiment/experience. If you could look at your brain as a puzzle - you are piecing things together ... with several inserts still missing. Are they simple or complex? Have many, few, or no sides? Flat or holographic? When you see them as holographic your brain is ready to understand higher frequency thought patterns from the grids.

We are approaching Tax Day 2017 - one week away as April 15th is a Saturday. Most people I know have ready filed. In the energies of Passover, I connected with friends old and new - most of whom didn't realize it was Passover. Times are changing and the need honor and celebrate events they may or may not have happened seems trivial to so many especially as consciousness detaches from the grids or those grid inserts no longer exist.

I suppose many of you are following current events - also based on your programming - that lead up to the end of the hologram. If you could look at your brain as a puzzle - you were slowly putting the pieces together with several missing. Are those pieces big or small? have many or few sides? Flat or holographic?

Monday

As this is a holiday week, many people I know are on vacation, hopefully enjoying themselves and remaining safe. A quick look at the news and one is only left to wonder what's next for this week on all fronts. Last night, I watched the season finale of "Homeland" followed by "Madame Secretary" which once again lead me to conclude that in ever corner of the world there are unfixable dramas and back office deals. It's about money, power and abuse. Focus overseas today goes to events in Egypt and Syria, and North Korea.

The obscure religion that shaped the West   BBC - April 8, 2017

It is generally believed by scholars that the ancient Iranian prophet Zarathustra (known in Persian as Zartosht and Greek as Zoroaster) lived sometime between 1500 and 1000 BC. Prior to Zarathustra, the ancient Persians worshipped the deities of the old Irano-Aryan religion, a counterpart to the Indo-Aryan religion that would come to be known as Hinduism. Zarathustra, however, condemned this practice, and preached that God alone - Ahura Mazda, the Lord of Wisdom – should be worshipped. In doing so, he not only contributed to the great divide between the Iranian and Indian Aryans, but arguably introduced to mankind its first monotheistic faith.

Turned Away

I guess this is a follow-up to yesterday's Syria dream though not a sequence dream. In today's wake-up dream I was a woman walking with a child. I was trying to get someone to recognize me and give me shelter as I went from place to place where I knew the people, but was turned away. I remember stopping to talk to a local woman who was sweeping the sidewalk in front of her store and calling her name ... again turned away. Then I realized I wasn't Ellie but a woman from the middle east - wearing a long dress and head wrap (hajib). I woke up.

This dream could also have been triggered by the plight of the Jewish people in the Moses' storyline as we enter the portals of Passover and Easter. Since the beginning ... the goal has always been freedom ... humans wandering through the sands of time ... to awaken in this timeline.

Remembering Don Rickles

Don Rickles -- Filmography

Memorable Quotes from Don Rickles

You can't be a my age, and a nice Jewish girl from New York City, and not remember Don Rickles' hilarious schtick. Though I hate insult comedy, there was a kindness in Don Rickles' jokes. He laughed at himself as well as others and never skipped a beat. As my husband Ralph entertained on the Borscht Belt we often got to meet some of the legendary Jewish comedians of that time - Mel Blanc, Milton Berle, Jack Benny, and Red Buttons, Mel Brooks, Billy Crystal, Rodney Dangerfield, Don Rickles, and Joan Rivers who I once chatted with in the lobby of the Raleigh Hotel. We honor Don and those in that genre who made us laugh and brought joy to the world.

Syrian Conflict

You can't help but follow the ongoing narratives.

Friday April 7, 2017

In my wake-up dream, I was watching a city being bombed and felt as if I was part of that grid. As I stayed up late last night watching the news about military strikes in Syria that is probably the reason. The world is a powder keg as I follow my mantra ... "Humans blow things up". For all the beauty humans bring into the world (equation), drama will always follow. What remains are developing strategies by the US and its allies, and reaction from Damascus, Russia, and other countries many who want no part of US intervention.

The US has carried out a missile strike against a Syrian air base in response to a suspected chemical weapons attack on a rebel-held town. Fifty-nine Tomahawk cruise missiles were fired from two US Navy ships in the Mediterranean. Six people were killed, the Syrian army said. It is the first direct US military action against forces commanded by Syria's president. The Kremlin, which backs Bashar al-Assad, has condemned the strike. It comes just days after dozens of civilians, including many children, died in the suspected nerve gas attack in the town of Khan Sheikhoun in Idlib province.

There are so many conflicts, and escalating acts of terrorism across the world, one has to wonder if we are heading into so-called World War III. If you understand these are end time events in the hologram, you formulate your own opinions about the current timeline, knowing where it's all going.

It's interesting that for all his faults, the hologram chose Trump as president ... though in other realities different scenarios could be playing out to get a final ending and not have to (time) loop again.

The attack on Syria happened as Mercury Retrograde takes hold in Aries (Mars, war). My opinion - Trump did the right thing but needs to follow through making it fast and furious. I agree with Trump when he says plans should not be told in advance of actions as in the past. The element of surprise rules this level of the hologram. The best and worst of all things come by synchronicity and out of the blue. Informing the world about political strategies before they happen never made sense to me.

The West Wing - Day 77

Senate Republicans used the "nuclear option" Thursday to change the chamber's rules and clear the way for the confirmation of President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Neil Gorsuch. The rules change will enable Gorsuch to easily pass through the Senate with a simple majority instead of the now-defunct 60-vote threshold. A final confirmation vote is expected Friday.

Giant "ELVE" appears over Europe

Lightning, ELVES

From Spaceweather.com

On April 2, 2017, high above a thunderstorm in the Czech republic, an enormous ring of light appeared in the night sky. Using a low-light video camera, amateur astronomer Martin Popek of Nydek photographed the 300 km-wide donut hovering near the edge of space. It appeared for just a split second alongside the constellation Orion. This is an example of an ELVE (Emissions of Light and Very Low Frequency Perturbations due to Electromagnetic Pulse Sources). First seen by cameras on the space shuttle in 1990, ELVEs appear when a pulse of electromagnetic radiation from cloud-to-ground lightning propagates up toward space and hits the base of Earth's ionosphere. A faint ring of deep-red light marks the broad 'spot' where the EMP hits. ELVEs often appear alongside red sprites, which are also sparked by strong lightning. ELVEs are elusive - and that's an understatement. Blinking in and out of existence in only 1/1000th of a second, they are completely invisible to the human eye. For comparison, red sprites tend to last for hundredths of a second and regular lightning can scintillate for a second or more. Their brevity explains why ELVEs are a more recent discovery than other lightning-related phenomenon.

Walk the walk - Talk the talk

Talking ... people don't really talk anymore ... they text, tweet, or snap (chat).

Trump did a whole lot of talking on the campaign trail. His "talk" "tweets" make matters worse each day. I don't think anybody believes he is prepared to handle a nuclear situation - or just about anything else.

Let's look at North Korea then and now. During the Korean War in the 1950s I was a little girl in elementary school. I remember the children having dog-tags and shelter drills in which a siren would go off and we would hide under our desks until signaled to come out. People would talk about the world ending but I did not see it. I could envision the time when I would be a woman and Korea would become an issue again. Segway to 2017 ... The situation with North Korea, and its increasing capabilities of attacking its neighbors and mainland US, increase every day. You may be processing this as another global situation that will resolve itself in the endless dramas that face us personally and as a nation, but you need to pay attention. North Korea should not be taken lightly especially if you live on the West Coast.

Cyber wars will determine the fate of more than you know, but then again we are nothing more than characters in a cyber simulation ... as the game changes from minute to minute.

Captain's Blog ... Stardate 4.4.17
Planet Earth ... Blowing things up

Protesting - Going Nuclear

We have been adrift in physical reality way too long. The crew grows restless and longs for home. Everything is broken making them feel out of control. There have been protests by covert factions. I dream of mutiny in end times. Who will secure their place in history and at what cost? "Going nuclear" ... going ballistic ... it never ends well.

This week many of us are learning a new expression Nuclear Option or constitutional option which is a parliamentary procedure that allows the U.S. Senate to override a rule or precedent by a simple majority of 51 votes, instead of by a supermajority of 60 votes. The option is invoked by the presiding officer of the United States Senate ruling that the validity of a Senate rule or precedent is a constitutional question. The issue is immediately put to the full Senate, which decides by majority vote. The procedure thus allows the Senate to decide any issue by majority vote, regardless of existing procedural rules, such as current Senate rules specifying that ending a filibuster requires the consent of 60 senators (out of 100) for legislation, and 67 for amending a Senate rule. The term "nuclear option" is an analogy to nuclear weapons being the most extreme option in warfare.

Hours after President Trump told NBC News that he was serious about reaching a deal on health care with members of his party, Pence on Monday night headed to the Capitol armed with a compromise proposal for the House conservatives who had helped doom the previous GOP bill. The head of the conservative Freedom Caucus called the administration's new measure for compromise "a solid idea."

Equal Pay Day

Raising awareness of the gender pay gap

I've never had a job where I made less than a man. As a teacher the pay scale is dictated by the Board of Education in a particular state and based on experience. As a psychic and therapist I create my own rates, not competing with anybody, but based on experience and education. I generally don't compare notes with other psychics. When it's time to raise rates, clients start giving me large tips which is my indicator for a small increase. My fee has generally been based on the economy at the time. For now I am comfortable with my current fee. On occasion I will refund someone after we start to talk and see that they are unstable, like a recent client who told me he was Jesus and wanted me to confirm his destiny. 99.9% of my clients are amazing as we share a special experience.
