SEA-CHANGE
"Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes:
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange."
~ The Tempest
A seachange is a total, redefining change. And yet "as much as things change they remain the same." "You can't step into the same river twice" even though "history repeats itself." "So it's out with the old and in with the new" because "the only thing that doesn't change is change itself." "Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end" even though "old habits die hard." So raise a glass. Right here. Right now. There is no other place we'd rather be. "Right here. Right now. Watching the world wake up from history."
Can the world wake up from history? Do we even need it to? I guess that depends on if we've been sleeping. "Have you ever had a dream Neo that you were so sure was real," said Morpheus as Neo put his fingers into the mirror. "What if you were unable to wake from that dream. How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world."
These days everyone likes to make memes about "clownworld." Even Elon does it. And of course we get it right. We're all forced to live in this clown, dream, world. Unable to wake up from the dream. But what about the other side of Morpheus' question? What about the distinguishing of the dream world verses the real world. It's so easy to run all the stupid things we see everyday in "the news" through our clown-world-analysis...Nancy Pelosi is better at the stock market than Warren Buffet...Ugh...sure, I guess... But what does the other side of the dream look like? What about the waking? Can we even imagine? And why is any of this even important?
Well, it turns out being the President of the United States of America matters sometimes less, and sometimes more. A newspaper has to curate events for the benefit of the public at large. So if anything, this is a window in why MMXXX does this, or at least what we think people should understand - if they want to. People have a right to know about the highest heights of "the news" the same way they have a right to understand the deeper meaning of chess - if they want to know - it is not a matter of intelligence. It is a matter of respect for existing. Like the Parable of the Wedding Feast - we do not have to pay attention, but we should. For our own sake because we are not the King.
In America, we don't believe in earthly Kings, although we do respect them. In America, We The People are sovereign and our religion is freedom. (Although our World View has always been Christian in its' root, this is altogether different from religion. Jesus did not found a religion. People built one around him. Jesus had to fulfill The Law and the Prophets and reconcile the lost by being The Way, The Truth, and The Life (John 14:6) by paying the price for our sins (Romans 8:32).

But the reality is King or President (or clay pot maker), things are changing. So it matters so much who the players are. You can't play the game if you don't have the pieces.
This time around it may matter so much, in fact, that everything changes. The stage has certainly been set. And whether President Trump has orchestrated this denouement, like Prospero in The Tempest, or is being driven himself by it, one thing is certain: SEACHANGE IMMINENT.

President Trump has always maintained that there is a corruption in Washington D.C. that we don't understand. His "swamp." And although when he first began speaking about swamp-stuff most assumed he was somehow radicalized, the longer time has gone on, the more apparent sense he has been able to make, to more and more people.
NPR recently allowed Mike Rothschild to voice his opinion on their platform where Mike showed his deep understanding of Trump’s je ne sais quoi by diving right into the deep end of internet-culture and "conspiracies" as the obvious justification stating:
"QAnon as a movement based around secret codes and clues and riddles doesn't so much exist anymore...but it doesn't need to exist anymore because its' tenets have become such a major part of mainstream conservatism and such a big part of the base of people that reelected Donald Trump.”
Gee. Thanks for that cutting edge analysis Mike it’s always nice when a Rothschild has the time to share their opinion with the world. But since you brought it up...There is Q and there are the people who research and educate others about Q called anons. But "anon" doesn't come from Q. Like…you don’t take Q + anons and get something called QAnon. anons are the anonymous accounts on places like 4chan, which is where Q posted his famous "Q posts." People should look into the "Q clock" and the "secret codes" Mike mentioned.

It's probably just some stupid Trump internet radicals anyways right. Honestly, President Trump’s popularity didn't keep growing because of internet conspiracies. Perhaps Dave Chappelle said it best.
Funny how, even after all this time, the Truth cuts like a knife. Must be a law of the universe or something. Call us crazy, but might it be Trump's (radicalized) honesty and integrity that would make him admit those things on national television. Almost as if he doesn't care about his reputation (he just flaunts playboy status like Bruce Wayne) and was trying to tell us something about how it really works (because he's secretly batman).
So is this the type of secret stuff President Trump wants to tell us about? Billionaire tax code stuff? We should expect some kind of epic Bernie Madoff scandal and then back to business as usual?
Well maybe. How do we tell? Is Trump Batman? What would Neo do in The Matrix? We all know Neo was supposed to be a programmer right. A hacker too. Wouldn't it have been great if Neo took his finger out of the mirror, looked back at Morpheus and said, "I'd use a confusion matrix to define a classification algorithm."

Thank you for your help Neo but the pants are scaring us. While it is interesting to calculate a confusion matrix about truth, your residual self image is gestalting to bother the other patrons. Thank you for the matrix and also The Matrix but you brought NPH into it and ruined everything. I kept waiting for NPH to explain to Neo How I met Your Mother. From here on out were done with The Matrix and we're telling the rest of the story with just Batman and Shakespeare. Back to The Tempest. Cue the storm.
"We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep."
Shakespeare said a lot of insightful things in The Tempest and in this masterpiece we see, perhaps, Shakespeare at the height of his powers. Which is ironic, because The Tempest is about "powers" and how the world is like an illusion. Writers throughout the ages seem to kind of focus of that a bit. Should we bring us Jesus again? Astute readers may also note this theme throughout Shakespeare - of a "The Matrix" esq vibe since "all the world is a stage" from As You Like It is one of Shakespeare's most famous lines. Did you notice it used in this past weeks news?
Geez. It sounds like those people have a lot of power and ambition to control "reality" as a battle-space. This notion, of the public commerce and cyber spaces being manipulated, is at the heart of fifth-generation warfare and there is a better chance then not that our lives over the past half decade have been being lived inside this type of a bubble of reality constructs. Why is this so likely? Well, we live at the end of "history." Sometimes you take one step forwards and two back. And sometimes you take one back, and two forwards." The point is that sometimes you think you're making progress, but you're not... and vice versa... ... ...
So is it possible that this has been going on much longer than any of us may understand? How can we strive as active consumers of "the news" to better understand this? We need a case study. Break the matrices back out. Not The Matrix Neo, don't even think about it. A matrix (if you will) to help us formulate this idea into less abstract and more concrete terms. And since we haven't got all day to expose this esoteric notion in the light of either Truth or Justice (or Literature for that matter for you Shakespearean English majors out there) lets us calculate a matrix of shadows. Allow the crazy things from clownworld to fall into their columns like Tetris blocks canceling out rows of insanity. Is there a pattern?
Forget trying to figure out if Trump is Batman like before. This time around look at the matrix and ask yourself...has Gotham been taken over? Are its' institutions poisoned?
When the main-stream-media tells us that voter IDs are used all around the Earth in nearly every modernized country but doing it in America is racist...When defending other countries boarders are important but our own is not...when medicines work in other countries but not in the USA...as one real Nick recently put it "this level of lying is what you see in full blown dictatorships." So for the sake of wrapping all this up lets just take a peak at some of the clown world stuff and see what these Qanon Trump racist enemy combatants have to say about the world being fake. Everyone reference your matrix bingo card please. [1,1] ...Matt Gaetz's real life house, that he grew up in, is Jim Carrey's house from The Truman Show...WTF...ok, ok...we'll give you that one...that one is kinda weird...especially because the whole movie is about how that guys life is a fake construct...but the rest is surely nonsense right...right?
Take a step back too. Why is everything so politicized? Why is everyone so offended? People really have come to, despite living next door to one another, come to believe radically different things about the world we share. How did it get like this?
Wait? Trump didn't rape that woman? Wait ABC and their Rhodes Scholar journalist had to pay him fifteen-million dollars for literally faking the news about that for so long. Wait George Stephanopoulos is the fake news? WTF ABC News? And Trump didn't "collude with Russia?" Wait that famous letter with fifty-one high-ranking intelligence officials staking their careers on Trump as a traitor is B.S.? Wait? Charles McGonigal, former head of FBI-NYC counter-intel, was actually arrested for being a Russian agent? The $ucking head of $ucking counter-intelligence???!!!
Ok...Ok chill...this is just people being corrupt af. This doesn't mean our reality is being manipulated. I mean I know we just saw them say it on 60 minutes but that's not what he meant. He's a spy after all.
Wait...Luigi is now in the same prison cell block as Puffy...I mean as P. Diddy...I mean just Diddy? Listen did Diddy find himself in the same prison cell block as Luigi or didn't Diddy? ...Wait...SBF is there too? WTF. ...Wait Diddy's lawyer is married to Luigi's lawyer? Wait James Comey's daughter who prosecuted Ghislaine Maxwell is now on the Diddy case? ...Wait...does that mean they are they same case? ...Wait...wtf? WTF! Are they the same case? Did Diddy do dangerous dealings like I think we’re all thinking or didn’t Diddy? Did he? Wait is Epstein connected to HipHop? Wait a $ucking second here...Ok...Ok...this is not ok... okay...
So. Either hip-hop was the iceberg of all conspiracies...or...or... it's just the tip. What could be underneath the surface of the water if an iceberg like that exists.
You magnificent bastard. How dare you! I guess space ships are really real huh?
Ok. Now you’re just screwing with us. But this doesn’t mean there is a conspiracy.
…Wait…The Simpsons TV show exactly predicted the “God Particle” Higgs boson from CERN years in advance of actual science…the exact formula? …Exactly!?!?!
Well. I don’t know what to say.
Did you know that there is an alternative to the viral theory of disease? An entirely different explanation. It’s called the cellular theory.
Isn’t it weird how the moon landing conspiracy persists…wait we lost the technology to go back to the moon?
Isn’t it strange about all the academic fraud at high level institutions in recent years? At least it was just academic fraud though right.
…what’s the point here? What are we supposed to do about any of this? What does it mean? What should we do? I think I need to eat something. Wana get a hotdog?
Never mind.
Think about this. What if climate change is apart of this. Or at least the man made part of it is.
Moreover, all these Attorneys Generals are suddenly suing Blackrock about manipulating environmental finance. And they are alleging a conspiracy it turns out!
What if our billionaires are fake? I mean, the guy who “invented internet streaming” didn’t really invent it (Mark Cuban). The guy who invented Microsoft didn’t actually write any of the code for Windows (Billy Boy). Even Robert Kowalski has made most of his money from selling books and not by practicing the financial advice he preaches in his seminars. What about the Federal Reserve? What about NASA? I need to know now. I mean, how does it work?
Where do they get all the people?
And I guess there is a plan with President Trump then too right?
…anything else?
Now my charms are all o'erthrown,
And what strength I have's mine own,
Which is most faint: now, 'tis true,
I must be here confined by you,
Or sent to Naples. Let me not,
Since I have my dukedom got
And pardon'd the deceiver, dwell
In this bare island by your spell;
But release me from my bands
With the help of your good hands:
Gentle breath of yours my sails
Must fill, or else my project fails,
Which was to please. Now I want
Spirits to enforce, art to enchant,
And my ending is despair,
Unless I be relieved by prayer,
Which pierces so that it assaults
Mercy itself and frees all faults.
As you from crimes would pardon'd be,
Let your indulgence set me free
President Trump as Prospero
The world is poised to change in ways that are going to truly challenge who we are and redefine who we want to be. If President Trump does have something to show us we have to ask ourselves what that might mean. About him. About us. About elections and Presidents and countries and history - about everything.
No matter who you are, no matter where you are from, and no matter what the Truth actually is… we hope you tune in for SeaChange Part 2 …because the really neat stuff isn’t found while dreaming. What might the waking world look like if President Trump isn’t bluffing? :) The world changed once when there was a market price for gold. What will happen if there evolves a market price for Truth? And what the heck does a market price mean?
…just do the best you can every day of this year…
…let’s at least fix the fuxking news before the aliens get here…
…God Bless President Trump…
