Thursday

Tomorrow, Friday July 1, Canadians celebrate Canada Day. Quick glimpse at the news Wednesday -- the Canadian House of Commons featured Obama who grappled with the cascade of chaotic issues -- from terrorism in Orlando and Istanbul to Brexit and what he called an "increasingly strained" international order that is "driven by old divisions and fresh hatreds." He talked about the strong alliance between the US and Canada. Applause. Standing ovation. Named "The Three Amigos Summit" - the other three presidents included Justin Trudeau (Canada) and Enrique Pena Nieto (Mexico).


The world worries about the ramifications of the next US president especially if it's Trump - but for today many people in the US are getting into holiday weekend headspace - planning celebrations, vacations, or just getting away for a few days from the dramas and rhetoric that pervade our daily lives - personal or global. Did you notice that things are more dysfunctional now than ever?


Maybe we should talk about the upcoming Olympics ... Let's see ... Today, Michael Phelps celebrates his 31st birthday. Yesterday, he qualified for his fifth Olympics setting a U.S. record ... but are things cool in Rio? Not in any sense of the word...

Today is Social Media Day

Do you belong to social media? Like everything else - social media - and for that matter all media - has its positives and negatives each going to extremes. Lives have been saved, while others have been destroyed emotionally and physically.

Coming Full Circle

Sunday June 26, 2016

Everybody, everywhere, is talking global politics, economics, natural disasters, and the fact that revolution is at hand. The old ways are going. People are so beaten down with living in this world, freedom and change are all that matters. What seemed to have started in the Middle East has gone viral/global. Down with the ruling classes. Down with the ridiculous concept of monarchies. I dreamed I was in the UK watching as citizens decided to overthrow the monarchy and give their wealth to the poor. This spread quickly to the rest of Europe where all were dethroned. The people of the planet are on a roll and yes there all be collateral damage but well worth it. Let's see what this week brings.




2016 BET Awards


Sunday June 26, 2016

The 2016 BET Awards were the BEST. Performers got into many political and social issues of the day. I watched the show just after I finished the blog "Revolution" posted above and was thrilled when Beyonce opened the show with a surprise performance of her song Freedom - performing with Kendrick Lamar as they danced in a pool of water. It was a brilliant performance about racial freedom - one of the many freedoms humanity is fighting for today.

Souls will no longer stay silent and be oppressed which will cause chaos over and over but freedom is the name of what's left of our game. The entertainment was enough to transcend time and space without all the healing, energy work, substances, or rhetoric that people need to get them there - emphasis on Beyonce, Alicia Keys, the Roots, Erykah Badu, Sheila E, and others.

Stevie Wonder and Tori Kelly teamed up for the Prince/Apollonia duet from Purple Rain, Take Me With U. They were then joined on stage by Jennifer Hudson who sang a moving rendition of Prince's "Purple Rain" walking slow off stage as she continued to sing. Yes this was better than Madonna's performance a few months ago, that many criticized, but madonna did her best. The show finished with Prince collaborator Sheila E leading a 10-minute montage of Prince songs. Muhammad Ali's daughter, along with Jamie Foxx, who played the role of the boxing legend, paid tribute to him.

Samuel L Jackson was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award. Grey's Anatomy actor Jesse Williams received a standing ovation as he accepted the humanitarian award. Many of the presenters and winners encouraged the audience to vote on this game changing election year. A political moment saw R&B artist Usher performing in a shirt which read: "Don't Trump America" on it. Beyonce won video of the year and the viewers' choice award for her song Formation but had already left the ceremony to catch a flight to London for a concert so her mother Tina Knowles accepted the award on her behalf. Drake won best male hip hop artist and best group with rapper/singer/producer Future, but was not at the ceremony to accept the awards. Newcomer Bryson Tiller beat Chris Brown and Weekend to win best male R&B/pop artist and also won best new artist.

Tech Dreaming

Computers in Time

A strange experience happened in dream time last night/early this morning. Most of my dreams have become lucid in which I experience events aware that I am an observer. Last night at the completion of a dream .. the image froze ... wasn't sure what it was about only that I was to keep watching. Streaming in front of me ... as if pictures on a cell phone ... were images displaying choices of dreams I might want to explore. Using only my consciousness I moved the images ... slowly or quickly ... right or left ... all the while processing what was on the screen then deciding where to stop and explore. Slide ... slide ... slide ... slower and faster ... got it ... another way of processing how the illusion works. As things seemed complete ... at least at that moment in the computer of time ... I woke up laughing.

Family Time

Michael graduates High School today.

Father's Day Fun in Basking Ridge, NJ

Michael and I talked about what it feels like to finish High School but it has not quite sunk in yet as the Seniors at Ridge High celebrate day after day. There have been celebrations every night for the past week ... continuing on ... and highlighting Friday when Michael and 12 of his closest guy friends and their moms take a trip to Costa Rica for one week.

Everyone at the party is a basketball fan so the conversation turned to the championship game played Sunday night. Nine-year old David - in the family pic above - said it all with his Cavaliers Tee-shirt. As predicted LeBron James' Cleveland Cavaliers beat Golden State Warriors at Oracle Arena in Oakland to win NBA title ... and what a game it was. The Cleveland Cavaliers became the first team to overturn a 3-1 deficit in the best-of-seven NBA finals as they beat Golden State Warriors. James was named Most Valuable Player of the finals for the third time. Cavaliers fans took to the streets of Cleveland to celebrate the victory.


Speaking of Cleveland ... the 2016 Republican National Convention (RNC) is July 18-21. Like a championship game we wait and wonder how things will play out as almost undefeated Donald Trump will meet unexpected challenges mounting against him. Sunday we shared the fear most Americans have about him becoming president. What came to my mind about his nomination ... was it orchestrated from the beginning to get Hillary elected. There are always hidden agendas even behind those not part of the traditional establishment.

Galactic Center
Cloud Formation


City lights prevent me from seeing most celestial objects.

This unusual cloud formation, seen from my window this morning,

reminded me of the Galactic Center and the black hole within.

New York Today: Lady Liberty Lands   New York Times - June 17, 2016

Today, we celebrate one of our city's most famous immigrants: the Statue of Liberty. She arrived from France in 212 crates on this day in 1885. But it took a while to get her on her feet. Because of a lack of funding, she lay in pieces for about a year. (Contrary to popular belief, she wasn't a gift from the French government but rather a crowdsourced project largely funded by French and American citizens.) She's been our city's steady guardian for more than 130 years, but her symbolism has shifted with the times. In her early years, there was an attempt to make her a lighthouse. She looked more like a glow worm than a beacon, The New York World wrote.

She has represented the abolitionist movement - notice the chains at her feet - and, of course, shelter for immigrants. But the association with immigrants did not take firm hold until the 1930s, said Edward Berenson, a professor of history at New York University. "At first, the symbolism surrounding her was xenophobic, not pro-immigration," he said. When plans to build an immigrant-processing center on what's now known as Liberty Island were proposed, there was a public uproar. Her image was used in newspaper cartoons to express some pretty awful associations attached to European immigrants. The center went to Ellis Island. She's quite the chameleon. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that today some are calling attention to her original incarnation, as a Muslim. The French sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi initially conceived the statue as a Muslim peasant to stand at the approach to the Suez Canal.


The Statue of Liberty is SoL

The term "sol" is used by planetary astronomers
to refer to the duration of a solar day on Mars.




"Independence Day: Resurgence" 6.24.16



I've watched the film Independence Day so many times, I've memorized all the lines. The trailer for Independence Day: Resurgence starts off with ... "I can't believe it's been 20 years." I would agree as so much has happened.

7.4.96 ... "Independence Day" awakened many of us ... The Internet was in its infancy as was Crystalinks. Consciousness was changing as was technology and human design.

Since then hundreds of people have seen UFOs and had paranormal experiences. I don't know how I know - but the biogenetic experiments on humans - most likely by the Grays - ended in 2007 though some report telepathic communication since then. It's all in the grids.

The average person knows governments cover things up, are in collusion with aliens, or at least they were, and yet nothing conclusive has been proven to the people of the world as to races and agendas.

Those of us connected to alien research have come a long way in determining that ... our planet was once visited by aliens whose agenda is programmed to influence us today. The way I see it ... these are just subroutines in the simulation in which we experience.

Studying about aliens - sooner or later leads one to the understanding that reality is a consciousness experiment in which we are participating. It will end along with the illusion of time.

People always ask me if aliens will make themselves know during the course of their experience here. I see that happening as the simulation ends and all grids collide.

Some people tell me they already interact with aliens - others say they are waiting - while the rest of the population has little or no interest while programmed to be enmeshed in the dramas of every day life.

I had one physical alien experience when I was 11. Since then I have only seen ships that I believe our government created.

Consciousness is moving beyond "lights in the sky". None of this is relevant anymore until we actually have physical interaction on a global scale that we can process in the hopes of making sense of the journey here. At the end of the day it's just an experience set in time to study emotions.

Scripts and storylines can be recycled in and out of reality but Independence Day comes when it ends. FADE TO BLACK





We have the technology to look for ET right now - why don't we?   New Scientist - June 17, 2016
The search could be on. A new study suggests that Hubble's successor, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), has the potential to search three freshly discovered planets to see if anyone lives there. The planets, which orbit a star just 40 light years from Earth, were discovered last month. Researchers suggest the JWST could probe their atmospheres for signs of life after it launches in 2018. But will it? This is the latest salvo in a debate raging through the astronomy community. Astronomers are finally on the technological brink of being able to answer the question: Are we alone? Although the answer could be transformative and NASA cites the search as part of its primary mission, the quest so far has been slow and indirect - and many think that's not enough.

Terror in the Orlando Grid


Wednesday June 15, 2016

Some people say "things happen in three's" - meaning we live in 3D where they manifest in the physical grids for emotional value.

Last Friday night, 'Voice' singer Christina Grimmie died after being shot following her Orlando concert performance. Christina was taken to the Orlando Regional Medical Center in critical condition and died early Saturday morning. The killer, Loibl, was tackled by Christina's brother then killed himself. The investigation continues as fans, friends, and family mourn.

That night in Orlando there was a Gay Pride Week celebration at a club called Pulse. As you know, at 2 AM Sunday morning a mass shooting occurred - committed by Omar Mateen - the backstory of which is still under investigation. That event imprinted the grids like nothing I've seen since 9/11. I visited that grid while in "dream time" this morning and heard the screams of the victims. [This is not about Time Travel as Time is an Illusion but about Grid Travel another aspect of the illusion.]

As my consciousness raced back to my physical Ellie body this morning - I passed a small boy who was screaming - the left side of his face bleeding. It was awful but luckily I recognized that I was just an observer. I woke up and as always turned on the morning news to find this story out of Orlando ... Alligator grabs toddler, drags him into lagoon at Disney hotel, police say

In Orlando and cities across the world, tributes to those lost continue along with the investigations.




More Strangeness in Orlando



Email from my friend Mary Ellen in Orlando:

Hi Ellie, A dear friend died the other night. Before I knew of it, my phone rang several times and when I answered no one there. Strangely, there was no recent call on the ID. At 10:07pm I texted my daughter to ask if it was her, she said no. The next day I learned the friend had died, in his family's words, "10pm straight up" the night before when the phone rang. Two nights ago there were several knocks at my bedroom door. I even heard the door vibrate with the knocks. I opened and found no one there, my houseguest had retired more than 30 minutes earlier and later said she'd not gotten back up. Yesterday I came home to find a penny in the door frame of my front door. It's been a woo-woo week for me.

When ghosts call from the other side one often sees the caller ID as a series of 0000. Ghosts can call, leave money, create noises and fragrances of different kinds, and more, especially as the grids in Orlando are "spiking now".

In Orlando, at the United Nations and in cities across the world, tributes to those lost, continue. Ninety percent of those killed were Hispanic or of Hispanic descent, including 23 Puerto Ricans. People share their experiences as the investigation and healing continues.Readers of hits blog know Mateen did it but could his wife or anyone else have stopped him? Just as with 9/11 when people dreamed about the event as it unfolded in the grid - for better or worse - things happen the way they're supposed to (programmed to).

U.S. Flag Day 2016



On U.S. Flag Day we look at the issues facing our nation and wonder if and how they can be resolved. Flag Day commemorates the Continental Congress's adoption of the Stars and Stripes as the standard in 1777 when everything was fresh and new and hopes for a brave new future were set in motion, to be played out on the global game board, coming full circle at the end. Today the District of Columbia holds its Democratic primary - the last one for 2016. Yeah! What will Bernie's next move be? It's still hard to believe that in this day and age our options are Trump and Hillary.

After the Sunday shootings in Orlando, Trump is broadening his proposed ban on Muslim immigrants, while Hillary Clinton accused him of damaging efforts to defeat terrorism. The Orlando massacre, and possible responses to it, are likely to dominate the agenda as Democrats and Republicans use different words to describe the rampage, and as policy debates over access to guns and over national security begin anew. U.S. Army attack helicopters in Iraq have entered the fight against Islamic State militants. American troops aren't supposed to have a combat role there, but this move puts them closer to the fight.

Orlando Nightclub Shooting




2016 Orlando nightclub shooting   Wikipedia

On June 12, 2016, a gunman killed at least 50 people and wounded 53 others in a mass shooting at Pulse, a gay bar and nightclub in Orlando, Florida - the worse mass shooting in US history. The gunman was identified as 29-year-old Omar Mir Seddique Mateen, an American citizen of Afghan descent. The Orlando Police Department are treating the case as an act of domestic terrorism. The shooter pledged allegiance to Islamic State during the attack. The incident is the deadliest mass shooting and the deadliest attack on LGBT people in United States history; and it is the deadliest attack in the U.S. since the September 11, 2001 attacks.


People from all walks of life - given any excuse - are going postal. The solution is not gun-control. It's not about the weapons. It's about the insanity of the people ... which is accelerating. Humans are programmed to blow things up especially now.


At 7:00 AM, I posted the link to the Florida nightclub mass shootings. My first reaction was "this is a hate crime" especially as this is Gay Pride Month and Gay Pride Week in Florida. Later I learned this was also an act of domestic terrorism.

The shooting comes on the heels of this story out of Orlando Saturday morning 'Voice' singer Christina Grimmie dies after shooting at Orlando concert


I was out and about early this morning meeting people who expressed their opinions on the Orlando shootings. Many people have become numb to this. Do you know mass shootings averaged one every day in 2015?


When I came home I called my friend MaryEllen (not gay) in Orlando. She and I had discussed me coming to Orlando to teach in November after the election - but I kept seeing violence there which I associated with the presidential election. I couldn't shake the images so MaryEllen and I never scheduled anything. Today she reported that she and her family are fine but it's chaotic there. She said the lines to donate blood are long but the community is uniting. She is waiting to hear from friends who may have been at the club last night and watching their Facebook pages to see what they post.


A gay male friend in Fort Lauderdale emailed: "This guy went in to kill as many gays as he could. He chose a club that would have hundreds of gay people dancing, easy targets, maximum impact/causalities. I think his "religion" just made it easier for him to rationalize."


Email from my friend Dean here in the city ...

Thank you, Ellie, for asking me to write about the episode. Funny ... I feel that I DO want to write about it. If nothing else, than just to process the event. How do we wrap our heads around more 'senseless' killing? How do we 'feel' anymore when yet more victims line a morgue? Are we as a nation having PTSD? I kind of feel I am. I vacillate between crying and numbness.

The pattern is always the same: crazy person uses weapons to kill in a shocking way. The aftermath is outrage and sadness. Then time passes. We go back to our lives. And then another event occurs.

My heart and prayers go out to the victims, their families and even the perpetrators. For as much sadness that happens, what goes on in the heart of a murderer? How did such darkness get there? As hard as I try, I cannot understand being in such an emotional state as to cause such destruction. I am not programmed for it. "It doesn't compute". I try to understand, but cannot, how an individual can come to a conclusion that "killing must be done"... for any reason. And, what part of the 'system' (and there are many) allowed this to happen?

Is "shock and awe" part of our reality now? George W. Bush introduced that into the minds of the country and the media hammers it home. But, why? I always look behind the curtain. I want to know what is behind the energy that occurs as a 3D action. And, the answer that I have so far is seen, is in the result -- We are being traumatized. We are being conditioned to be afraid. We are being made react to gun violence ("no guns"), to people who are different ("build a wall") ("kill the fags"), and to ultimately become suspicious of others. I find it so very very sad.

In the present attack on Pulse in Orlando, it may be the act of a lone person who's brain has been programed to hate gay people. But, it is interesting to observe how many times the word 'terrorist' is said in the news or the word "ISIS".

It is in our diversity as a human species that makes us stronger. "They" may try taking away the rainbow, but the light will always shine through ... yes ... even as we "fade to black".

Here's a pic from the vigil Sunday night at the Stonewall Inn.

I'm sure the gay pride parade in NYC, which happens on June 26th,
will be incredibly tight with security.

With love,
Dean




Hours later at the Tony Awards, where much of the Broadway community is gay,
James Corden delivered an emotional opening speech about the Orlando Nightclub Shooting.


Lin-Manuel Miranda created an original sonnet repeating the word "Love" over and over.
Hamilton won 11 Tony Awards.

Florida Nightclub Shooting

  'Voice' singer Christina Grimmie dies after shooting at Orlando concert   CNN - June 11, 2016

I was out and about early this morning, meeting people who expressed their opinions on the Orlando shootings. Many people have become numb to this. Do you know mass shootings averaged one every day in 2015?

When I came home I called my friend MaryEllen (not gay) in Orlando. She and I had discussed me coming to Orlando to teach in November after the election - but I kept seeing violence there which I associated with the presidential election. I couldn't shake the images so MaryEllen and I never scheduled anything. She reported that she and her family are fine but it's chaotic there. She said the lines to donate blood are long but the community is uniting. She is waiting to hear from friends who may have been at the club last night and watching their Facebook pages to see what they post.

A gay male friend of mine in Fort Lauderdale emailed: "This guy went in to kill as many gays as he could. He chose a club that would have hundreds of gay people dancing, easy targets, maximum impact/causalities. I think his "religion" just made it easier for him to rationalize. Many in gay communities across the country are doing their own moments of silence and prayer - LA, NYC, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, etc."

I believe the shooter, Omar Mateen, 29, may have had sexual identity issues of his own perhaps hiding them due to his background. Mateen married Uzbekistan-born Sitora Alisherzoda Yusufiy in April 2009, and was divorced in July 2011. Following the attack, Mateen's ex-wife told the media that during their marriage, Mateen used to beat her. Mateen worked as a private security guard. He rented a car and drove to Orlando to carry out the attack, the source said. FBI teams and local law enforcement are working to clear Mateen's apartment, a federal law enforcement source said. Omar Mir Seddique Mateen (November 16, 1986 - June 12, 2016) about 100 miles (160 kilometers) from Orlando.

Mateen was born in New York to Afghan parents, and was reported to be a Muslim. He attended Martin County High School for at least one year and reportedly held two degrees in science from Indian River State College, received in 2006 and 2007. According to Florida Department of Law Enforcement records, he had no criminal record in Florida. Mateen lived in Fort Pierce, Florida, but received mail at his parents' home in nearby Port St. Lucie. Mateen had reportedly bragged about ties to "terrorist organizations" in the past, and became a person of interest to the FBI in 2013 and 2014. An investigation on Mateen was also opened prior to the attack, but ended up closing as it produced nothing that appeared to warrant further investigation. U.S. Representative Adam Schiff, the ranking Democratic member of the House Intelligence Committee, stated that Mateen had pledged allegiance online to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). Mateen's father said, "This had nothing to do with religion", adding that he had seen his son get angry after seeing a gay couple kissing months prior to the attack, and speculated that homophobia might have led to the attack.

The Tony Awards are tonight. Much of the Broadway community consists of gay males - so the shooting will be a theme.

The Bilderberg Group
is Meeting

So you think you're opposed to the Establishment in our county? They run nothing as compared to the secret Bilderberg Group meeting June 9-12, 2016 at the Taschenbergpalais Hotel in Dresden, Germany. I always saw the Bilderberg Group as the Secret Government who runs the world - as in The X-Files, but there are other such groups more clandestine. Forget Obama and other world leaders ... Is this the group who creates wars, hides technology, decides on policy for the world, and more? How much does Hillary know about them?

Time Travel
Revisited


It all started for me on Monday, when my friend Anna and I were guided to visit Coney Island where I grew up and have had many time travel experiences some of which I blogged about, including one having to do with the TV series "Fringe" in Coney Island. On this day, Anna and I experienced none of those energies - as if a wormhole had closed - enjoying the moment and eating jelly covered marshmallows on a stick. Sweet ...

On Tuesday, I read a psychic in Texas who suddenly asked if I time traveled here from the future? Neither of us were sure why she asked - but it sort of fit in with Monday's experience and the fact that the movement of space and time are foremost in my work here. I can't wait until the current loop we are stuck ends and souls are free. She and I discussed the nature the simulation which she understood ... but then there is the science of it all, which is infinitely as fascinating. Reality is a multidimensional algorithm set in time and space ... etc. etc. etc.

As the week continued ... Wednesday and Thursday brought other events to my life having to do with time travel and other "paranormal experiences". Bending space-time is fun.

We arrive at "Linear Friday 6.10.16" ... The History Channel featured a show called "Time Beings: Extreme Time Travel Conspiracies" - an examination of time-travel theories. There were several people I knew on the show which mainly featured Podcaster Jimmy Church ... Fade to Black ... Ah ...We are on the same page ... Bring it ...

The Tonight Show
Thursday June 9, 2016


Is the joke on us?

Slow Jam News

Thank You Notes


Thursday night The Tonight Show featured Jimmy Fallon, President Obama, and Madonna. Great performances by all but scripted with a few improvs. Obama seized the moment to review his accomplishments over the past 7 1/2 years while promoting Hillary Clinton. Great PR but Obama's wrong about so many things. The only way Hillary is going to win is if the country chooses not to elect Donald Trump because of his behavioral issues which are HUGE. Instead of getting better, Trump is getting worse. We are evolving beyond political and economic systems therefore the simulation has to show us the way out.

It's all Theater

Politics takes center stage again, as Obama meets with Bernie Sanders to unite the Democratic party. The is generally the time political deals are brokered behind closed doors - but Bernie is too old. After months of campaigning against Hillary - and seeing her true colors and plans for the future of the country - how can one expect Bernie to endorse her. The Republican Party is also facing a similar dilemma in trying to figure out a way to unite the party and support Donald Trump. The conventions this summer will be very entertaining to say the least. Doesn't it seem incomprehensible and contrived that in this day and age - with all of the technology and amazing people in this country - Trump and Hillary are the two main choices. Only the simulation could force this game changer. Republicans also increasingly worry that Trump's attacks on specific nationalities and ethnic groups could cost them both the White House and Senate. Trump doesn't appear to share their concerns as he muddles on...


Thursday ... My DVR is set for the Tonight Show when Obama joins Jimmy Fallon in a tradition that he began on March 19, 2009, when he became the first sitting U.S. president to appear on a late-night talk show with Jay Leno. Politicians these days are expected to appear on late-night shows and be entertaining and informative. Fifty-six years ago this month, NBC made history when Senator John F. Kennedy became the first major presidential candidate to appear on a late-night program - the "Tonight Starring Jack Paar," during the 1960 election. Dressed in a suit, Kennedy answered questions about the U-2 spy plane captured in the Soviet Union, the failed Soviet summit and Cuba. Bill Clinton provided one of the most memorable appearances when he stayed in California for an extra day after winning that state's primary in 1992 to tape The Arsenio Hall Show. Donning Blues Brothers sunglasses, he played a rendition of Heartbreak Hotel on the saxophone.
