Dear Anonymous, author of A Warning,
Despite your intentions to protect the country from the President's worst inclinations, I think you are doing more harm than help, both in the short and long term. And I say this with no love for Trump's policies or governing style.
Every minute he stays in office sets a precedent for future corruption in the presidency. He should be removed from office immediately, and yet you are propping up this despot, hiding from the American people how bad he really is.
Your patriotic duty means you should be testifying in the impeachment trial. Yet you leave us all hanging when it really matters. When you could make a real difference.
Wouldn't you rather have a good president in office? We all would, but that's going to require real reforms, not some assistant trying to steer their boss in the right direction. You can't be there for every president down the road, so this needs to be handled transparently, or it's not fixed at all.
Stop being complicit in the most corrupt presidency in American history, and testify before Congress. America needs you.

Open letter to Greta Thunberg
Dear Greta Thunberg,
When I was a kid in the 90's and we were learning about climate change, we kids were empowered with this idea that we could save the world when we grew up; that once my generation was in power we'd be able to challenge the status quo. They passed the buck and dumped the responsibility on a bunch of children, and thank God you're smart enough to realize this can't wait until you're an adult, like we thought it would have to. I never would have imagined that the world would have listened to someone so young when I was your age, and perhaps back then, no one would have. Back then, we didn't have the fires and the hurricanes and the ice caps starting us in the face and showing us just how dire the situation is.
You are extraordinary- no one has done anything because no one thinks they can, except you. And perhaps that's why we need children to save the world- adults know what they're up against, and it's covered in dollar signs. The older generations are still in power, and they find it easier to stick their heads in the sand, accept pockets full of cash, and know that they'll be dead before the world is uninhabitable. It's sick, and what we really need is people in power who will be around long enough to see the results of their policies.
Keep doing what you're doing. We're rooting for you.

The American class system
They're now saying that Trump wanted to release his tax returns for a couple of years to brag about how little he played, because to harken back to one of his debates with Hillary Clinton, when she suggested he paid nothing on his taxes and he said, "That makes me smart."
The rich are often quoted as saying that the government would squander their money anyway, but the reality is that we need a functioning government to survive, and when the rich- who can afford to part with some of their cash- skip out on their taxes, the burden falls on the rest of us, for whom every tax dollar takes away from our daily lives. And we suffer for the government not functioning well because we don't have enough money collectively to do that.
The people at the top control so much without realizing the huge impact they have on the people down the class system from them. But when the lower classes thrive, so do the upper classes. Maybe not at such an extreme wealth gap, but in other ways the benefits pile up.
I remember the 1990's. There were real jobs. Trump keeps talking about how great the economy is, but the jobs suck. The wages stagnate. There's something wrong here. There's a huge working-poor class that's replaced the middle class.
As long as billionaires think of themselves as exempt from the system that the rest of us are part of, the class divide is going to get worse.

Newspaper tea leaves
Let's just say I had a rough week. Something I should probably not talk about here happened and really triggered me, and I reported it to police. My body is going through the auto-immune reactions to stress that I have, despite my best efforts to stay relaxed. Or I'll try to focus on homework, and I can't stop thinking about what happened.
But it doesn't stop with the basic crisis. News reached the Senate, where I have several people interested in my issue. Senator Wyden brought it up again: FBI surveillance abuses in the rights of Americans caught up in the Russia investigation.
Please tell me I'm interpreting the newspaper tea leaves correctly, and the government is preparing to actually talk to me. I feel like I deserve that much, at the very least.

No, reading Harry Potter will not conjure spirits
This article is about a school removing Harry Potter books from their library for fear that the books could conjure real spirits with their spells. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/harry-potter-banned-school-library-nashville-tennessee-exorcist-a9087676.html?amp
It never ceases to amuse me how some Christian's will claim to know so much about the occult arts they fear and hate so much. They say it would be sinful to learn about such things, yet they claim knowledge, and declare those who have learned about them to have been deceived. It's like talking to a brick wall of stupidity.
No one is going to conjure spirits from reading Harry Potter. The magickal arts are a wonderous, beautiful thing, but the ignorant need not tell us misinformation about things they do not understand.

Trump's economy
A year ago I predicted the economy would take a downturn about now, a year from now at the latest. Trump has been enacting policies this whole time that are bad for the long run, and I'm surprised that the forecasts aren't more grim. He's set up a system that will cause inflation, what with his tax cuts to the wealthy, upside-down stimulus, and his tariffs on foreign goods. Stocks are falling, and he's built a team that has no idea how to deal with this. The person I predicted this to isn't around for me to say "I told you so," but I'm sure he's watching. I could be wrong, but I suspect things will go downhill.

Regardless
Regardless of who is reading, someone is obviously obsessed with following my online presence, and I've gotten a pretty direct response from the Russians already.
In regards to the whore of Babylon, there are those who believe that the Bible refers to the city of Rome, it's true, but Aleister Crowley's Magnum Opus was different. He believed himself to be the Beast 666, and he followed the alchemical Emerald formula to direct his consciousness into forming his next incarnation, when he would be split into two beings- a reincarnated Beast and it's mate, Babylon.
Alchemy is an internal process; the chemistry experiments came later. It was much safer during the times of the witch burnings to be hired by the king to produce gold than to be lumped in with the other occultists and killed.
Alchemy cannot be completed within a single lifetime. Nicholas Flamel's wife Pernell is famous because she was the second half of their incarnation. Abremelin the Mage was written, in code, alluding to this passing down from one incarnation to the next.
And no, to the bitch who keeps making this kidnapping claim up, I never said I was kidnapped by the CIA, because it wasn't a kidnapping. I went into the hospital because I threw up blood, raving about the Pentagon and the Russians, and they said they were going to give me a psych evaluation. But it wasn't a normal psych evaluation. They drugged me with scopolamine, and they didn't ask me normal questions, and when I woke up, he told me that I "talk to the CIA through that chip in [my] head." And he told me I was same, and not to worry about the CIA thing, and sent me home. There was no kidnapping, and I never claimed there was. Bitch.
