Trump

This blog looks at possible headlines for our outstanding watch date. It then gives a review of alternative media coverage of Trump's new term in office, especially coverage of Ukraine and Israel. Then we turn to notes for this week's shop work, including the Vine reprint and another test of color schemes. Finally reminders of upcoming holidays and downloads for annual planners.

Open Watch

We are in a prophetic season where we are watching the 2000th anniversary of Joshua's life replaying again 1 day at a time. His life was following the structure of the trunk timeline of the Bible, so we are in effect watching a fast replay of history.

Starting at 2024-12-21 we began an 80 day interval modeled after the 80 years of peace mentioned in Judges 3:30. Within this interval we expect the events that were within this interval to inform headlines in the news. So the stories from Judges 3:14-30 are in our sights. Given patterns over the past couple years we'd expect them to find fulfillment in or around modern Israel.

Back years ago when I was working full time on Bible Time related topics it appeared to be the case that any assembly, nearly anywhere in the world, with over 1,000,000 people involved, was usually on the charts in some way. We had such an event in Gaza, which will most likely be part of this expected prophetic date. Here is the link.

Palestinians Return to Northern Gaza

The link here is to a Youtube Video by Democracy Now dealing with the Palestinian return to Northern Gaza.

The video is about 12 minutes long. It includes important drone shots of the mass migration north along the coastal road in Gaza. This is the result of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

The drone shots support the general idea that about 1.5 million people were moving up that coastal road on Monday, January 25, 2025. The agreement itself was signed on January 19, so there is some possible date slop as we look for an 18 day interval.

92 percent of the homes in Gaza are thought to have been destroyed, so they are returning in order to build again. That Judges passage references changing travel direction at the quarries. That quarries term being a good description of the rubble in Gaza and the materials that will be needed to rebuild Gaza.

The linked video provides sound bites of Trump himself pressuring Egypt and Jordan to take these refugees so the Israelis can take over this land. Egypt and Jordan have rejected this suggestion. But this reference to Jordan means this mass migration is also a threat to Jordan. Though Jordan has rejected this idea, I would not expect the Zionist west to give up so quickly.

Years ago I worked as a manager in a large company. We were taught to not be transparent with regards to upper level management decisions. If I messed up in this area it would show in my department level results of the company wide annual employee surveys. Trump is particularly good at not being transparent. He never lets on about who may be directing his show.

I see Trump's comments and desires about Egypt and Jordan taking Gaza refugees as coming ultimately from Netanyahu via the Israel Lobby in the USA. This even as Trump does not let on as to where this idea comes from.

Also there are clips of Trump discussing redevelopment of that Gaza property. Trump and his family have developed commercial property for decades, so he looks at this property through that lense. See the 8:00 mark in the video above for more on this.

This return is likely to cause official death tolls to climb as those returnees find dead bodies in the rubble. There are already video clips of finding dead bodies in that rubble. Most of that rubble will be carefully combed by the returning refugees.

The tail end of the video linked above shifts to Israel's poorly documented new war against Palestinians in the West Bank. Here is a follow up video on that point.

War in West Bank

This video is also by Democracy Now on Youtube. It turns more directly to Israeli attacks against various areas in the West Bank. This was apparently a Netanyahu trade with his political allies for allowing the ceasefire in Gaza. This is also likely the fighting component of our expected watch date. We are only about 1/2 way through the 80 day window, those 80 days are the longest gap in the prophetic date series for some time to come.

Picking up floating watch dates like we are expecting here is hard to do. It should become more clear over the next few weeks. Let me turn to the general topic of Trump having become president.

Election

Everyone has known that Trump would become the next president since the election in early November. This was a delight to just about everyone in the alternative media space because Trump looked like some sort of deliverer from the insanity the USA has known since Covid.

The problem was that nobody could tell for sure how Trump was actually going to address the problems seen both in the USA and around the world. So everyone has had to basically wait out the period until the inauguration in order to see what he might actually start to do as president.

The first concern which held back some commentators was the fear that Trump would not survive even into office. There had been at least 1 unsuccessful attempt on his life.

I suspect Trump will survive to the end of his term. Let me give my strange reason in detail. It comes from a 20 year cycle of US Presidential assassinations and deaths in office.

Tecumseh's Curse

The link here is to the Wikipedia article dealing with a subject now known as Tecumseh's Curse, or the Curse of Tippecanoe. This is the name given to the pattern of presidential deaths and assassinations that have landed on a 20 year cycle.

The pattern is named after Tecumseh's War, and the then soon death of US President William Henry Harrison who was elected in 1840 and died soon after being sworn in in 1841. This death gives rise to the name Tecumseh's Curse.

In the early 1990s I was taking a master's level statistics class and the professor was going through real world statistical exercises and examples. Most of his examples in that class were patterns found in business circles. But he wanted an example where he could claim statistics lie. So he ran the math on the pattern of presidential deaths that spanned from 1840 through 1980. In the case of the 1980 election Reagan was shot, but survived the assassin's bullet. He survived in part because of being quickly rushed to a modern hospital.

The professor was adamant that standard statistical methods showed that this pattern was not happening by random chance. No matter how the assassination attempt on Reagan was counted.

But, that same professor argued that since there was no possible single mechanism drawing these deaths into a pattern, that the statistics were a lie. He used this as his example of being cautious when this happens. The Wikipedia article linked above addresses this same statistical problem by calling this an Urban Legend.

Of course when I took that class I already had industrial history where we used statistical patterns with no known single cause in order to force the process engineers to go find the root cause of statistical anomalies. Well done, careful, math does not lie. We found and fixed many otherwise unknown problems in this way. I am sure they do the same at Tesla and Space X even now.

So in that statistics class I objected to the professor's claim these Tecumseh's Curse statistics were a lie. Instead I argued that those same statistics showed that there was a common cause, but that cause was currently unknown to us.

I also argued that answer would not be found in the hard sciences as we normally think. Either some human group was responsible, say for some occult reason, or it was a pattern from a spiritual source. (As if these are really different.) This was a Christian college, so my argument should have held some sway.

My professor rejected this idea out of hand. In his world there was no spiritual world so no way for these to be connected.

If we take Reagan's 1980 election and later assassination attempt, we could moderate the definition of this curse from who dies in office to at least an attempt on his life while in office.

Let me now move forward to the 2000 election and the 2020 election. I am getting old, some readers here are not old enough to remember these elections as they happened.

For 2000, George Bush was sworn in, but he had actually lost the election to Al Gore. Remember the hanging chads in Florida? So Bush as president was free from the curse as he was a usurper. Gore, who was now out of his rightful office, was safe from the assassin's bullet.

For 2020, I suspect, that the same pattern that protected Al Gore also protected Donald Trump, who sat out the 2020 presidential term, while most likely actually winning the vote. This was also because of state level voting machine fraud like in Florida in 2000. Musk's 2024 election campaign slogan, getting out the vote so the results were "too big to rig" was designed to overwhelm some of the known election fraud patterns.

Alternatively for the 2020 cycle of Tecumseh's Curse we could take the assassination attempt at the Butler, PA, rally as being the 2020 cycle match to Reagan. Both rushed to the hospital. Both survived.

All of this is my strange way of arguing that Trump will likely see his way through his upcoming 4 year term because he is now off that 20 year presidential death-in-office cycle.

Prophetic Tracks

For the last year+ we have been tracking 2 different general prophetic fronts. Those are Israel and Ukraine.

Most of the alternative media universe has been focused on these 2 fronts as well. Most of the alternative media universe has been waiting until Trump was in office and actually doing things in order to understand how Trump might impact those 2 general areas of important world events.

There have now been enough sound bites and video clips for consensus to start forming over how Trump will deal with those 2 venues. I am going to give 3 examples from regulars on Judge Nap's Podcast. This because we are familiar with his guest's normal tone. I am also going to use an example from Nima's channel because Pepe Escobar is also a regular on Judge Nap's channel.

Other well known alternative media channels are seeing similar tone shifts in their reporting on Trump.

Judge Nap with Alastair Crooke

Alastair is perhaps the best source for thinking about what is going on in the middle east. He is a former British diplomat, he lives in Italy but has an organization based in Beirut. So war in Lebanon is personal.

They begin with the situation in Israel, including the various factions in the current Israeli government. They also deal with the return of the first wave of hostages from Gaza back to Israel.

They also address the wave of about 1.5M Palestinians returning home to the northern areas in Gaza. This undoes all the fighting in Gaza since October 7. Alastair postulates that Trump will want to keep the ceasefire agreement. But Alastair believes the fighting will eventually resume, especially after all the hostages are returned. We have various prophetic dates across 2025 when something like this could happen. We will follow those dates as they draw near.

Alastair also discusses a large wave of people in Lebanon also heading south to their homes in south Lebanon. I have not yet seen good video of this, but I trust it is happening too. This Lebanon wave has been stopped so far, but this is bringing moral authority back to Hezbollah with the Lebanon public.

Alastair also discusses the split narratives coming from Trump. He suspects that Trump will engineer political shift in Europe to match what just happened in the USA. This is very important if there is ever to be peace with Russia.

They also discuss the collapse of the narrative within Israel over the reasons of the fighting over the past 15 months. This is a time of low national moral in Israel. Netanyahu is also a subject here, especially his current medical condition from surgery and a pacemaker, and corruption trial. His son and wife are in Florida. He suspects Netanyahu's wife will likely not return until after the bribery and corruption trial is finished.

They end briefly with Trump discussing moving Palestinians to Egypt and Jordan.

Pepe Escobar: Trump and BRICS

The link here is to Nima Alkhorshid interviewing Pepe Escobar on what Trump seems to be doing relative to Russia and the BRICS. This is a good example of alternative media starting to understand the new Trump term.

First point is that Trump looks to be attempting to gain control of natural resources in order to match Russia in some way. This includes Trump discussing natural resources in Greenland and Canada.

In banking terms Trump looks to be setting up a debt for equity swap, where US debt is reduced, while the bankers walk way with hard assets. Remember the debt was created out of nothing. This is what the debt jubilee was designed to prevent. Modern bankers create money out of nothing, and then without a debt jubilee, eventually they walk away with ownership of most of the world's hard assets.

Pepe also touches on Trump's schedule for stopping the war in Ukraine. During the campaign Trump famously said he could end that war in a day. More on this below.

Pepe touches on Trump's inability to track well how BRICS is developing. Pepe also touches on how Trump and his picks for high offices do not seem to grasp the developing nature of the world. See 9:10 for an example.

Pepe also suspects Trump will not be able to overcome the US deep state. He may be right, it will take a few more months to gauge this point.

If given the chance, during Trump's previous term, he probably could have called Putin and ended that war in a day. These days the Russians know well this is a war to conquer Russia and to end Russia's national sovereignty. Trump does not speak as though he knows what is going on with BRICS.

Pepe informally quotes various Russian officials that have spoken in various ways about how the Russians want this problem solved. Russia is speaking a hard line. If Russian words match their actions, this is unlikely to solve easily, while the American side looks stupid.

Russia is not likely to allow a cease fire as it would only give NATO a chance to reorganize and re-arm. Russia is also not likely to sign any sort of long term deal, like Ukraine stays out of NATO for 20 years. These points are evident to anyone watching Russia, but Trump is unaware of the real issue, Zionists need control of Russia to build their world capital in Jerusalem. Russia is not going to grant this.

The open question is, How far does Russia keep advancing west? The Dnieper river looks like a reasonable defensible future international border. The southern regions around Odessa are not so clear. Any area that was ethnically Russian in the past is likely to be taken over by Russia.

Ukraine is also the likely venue for the war at the end of the 1000 year reign. So this war may idle down, but it is not likely to be solved under Trump's watch, even 4 years of talking may not be enough to bring it to a close. The reason is the problem is not with Russia, but with who really rules the west.

This might be the thinking behind Alastair's earlier comments about needing to rebuild the governments in Europe just like what Trump is doing in the USA. That rebuilding might be needed for any chance at peace with Russia. If Trump really knows this, he will stall talks with Russia over Ukraine. He will know he is looking stupid but looking stupid for a good cause. Intentionally looking stupid is a sign of a great man.

While at the same time Trump may be engineering right wing election victories across Europe that could bring lasting peace. This would then allow a permanent peace agreement with Russia. Bill Gates himself has recently been whining at Elon Musk over Musk's involvement in European politics. Gates may be seeing what is really going on. Gates may be signaling that there is a real threat to globalist Europe.

If Trump could actually step in and solve this war, he would save the lives of billions of people. As it is, I expect that war to become a full world war only after Trump leaves office in early 2029.

So the Ukraine war currently looks like an ongoing venue that will need to be tracked more or less indefinitely. We now have a different face on the western side of this war, but otherwise nothing seems to be changing, at least publicly.

Judge Nap and Ritter

The link here is to Judge Nap and Scott Ritter discussing current events around Trump. This video starts with Trump's intent to remove 1.5M Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt and Jordan. This after the first set of Oct 7 hostages have been released back to Israel.

This is also a war crime, called Ethnic Cleansing. This suggests strongly that Trump is still a Zionist and is supporting Israel's general family of war crimes.

They also discuss the discussions around sending Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt and Jordan. More reason to think this is a big deal and related to the prophetic dates we are expecting.

The Judge and Ritter both expect the Gaza Palestinians to remain in Gaza. The same video clips are here as are in the Alastair Crooke interview above, showing them returning to the northern parts of Gaza.

Their discussion then turns to Netanyahu's domestic corruption trial, with the judge again showing a brief clip of the courtroom.

The time vectors for the January, 2026, temple related prophetic dates seem to involve Netanyahu remaining in office at least until that time. The specific temple related stories measure time from Netanyahu's most recent time taking office. This trial may look serious, but I would think his domestic troubles will be settled. He should retain enough control of the Knesset to continue with temple plans.

The Judge and Ritter also discuss the problem that hostage releases may cause Netanyahu. The hostage's version of the story may not hold to the party line. Hal Turner has indicated that Israel has criminalized discussion of what happened on October 7, suggesting the public story is known to the Knesset not to be the truth. Those hostages may return home only to be charged with a crime for reporting what happened to them.

Around the 12:00 mark they turn their attention to Ukraine. First problem is Trump's talking points of 1,000,000 dead Russian soldiers. Best current estimates are around 100,000 regular Russian army and perhaps another 50,000 others. This is bigger than Vietnam for the Americans, but way smaller than Trump is quoting. Ukrainian numbers are usually thought to be 10 times higher than the Russian numbers, which might be the number Trump is really quoting. This is important because it means Trump is being fed bad data, and thus is reasoning incorrectly. (Or else having senior moments, which is possible, or else is deliberately wrong for great man reasons.)

They also discuss how the Russians have learned how to fight a modern war. Americans have no similar experience, except for those few who might be embedded with the Ukrainians.

Ritter also discusses Trump's intent to drop oil prices to around $45/barrel. This to cut tax money off to Russia. Problem is, this price is below most recent American oil cost of production, and will harm American oil producers worse than Russia. It is also way below the Saudi cost of production. This is another example of a financial attack on Russia that will harm the west even more. Also interesting to note, there are apparently no more sanctions possible against Russia except processed Uranium sales to American nuclear plants. So Trump threatening sanctions on Russia is an idle threat.

It is possible that Trump intends to open oil drilling in Alaska. He said as much during the campaign. Cost of production may be in the $45 per barrel range. This is an interesting topic for another blog. Most Alaska oil was deliberately held in reserve for when the Saudis ran out of oil. That may be now.

At 21:40 there is a clip of Putin discussing the Ukraine situation. Putin is discussing how Ukraine is working for those with money. (The bankers. Nobody ever wants to publicly say the wealthy Jews.)

The Judge and Ritter discuss the problem of arms supplies to Ukraine. Nobody knows for sure if there really has been an arms cutoff. They agree new approvals are likely needed for future aide, but the pipeline may be still full for a time. Other reports indicate Trump cut off domestic subsidies to Ukrainian politicians, but not to the war machine in Ukraine.

What These Mean

All of these are examples that we now finally have a president who cares and is working on a whole bunch of problems. We have not had that for the past 4 years. But, many actions by Trump appear to be clumsy in terms of execution and details.

The conversations going forward are going to be very different than they have been the past 4 years. These are but a few examples of how the alternative media is now giving Trump the benefit of the doubt for many points. Again, this is much better than we have seen in years.

Shop Work

This week in the shop I was able to finish a reprint of the Vine exhibit for the Tent of Time.

This reprint fixed severe left/right issues in the model to conform to hidden references in the text that deal with this item. I discussed some of this previously, but now the 3d printing is done. Watch for pics on Telegram when this blog goes out.

The printed files do not force a vertical order to branches on the vine. But, when working with the reprinted parts I finally realized the design pattern needed to get the same vertical pattern of tree limbs as found on the Megiddo Mosaic stick figure.

Remember, that stick figure on that floor has 5 branches on the left and 7 branches on the right. The missing left branches are the 4th and 6th tiers up from the floor. There had to be something special going on to produce that exact pattern. It was not at all obvious what that pattern should be.

The secret to this riddle is to make the limbs tell a short story when read down from the top. Depending on the grammar letter, the Vine reads as either Who ( or perhaps To) as a stand alone word, then punctuation, then the Paleo spelling for Abraham.

The dot punctuation divides this grammar letter from the name Abraham. That level on the tree only has a right branch. Then the Ba in Abraham also only has a right branch. Thus the pattern from the mosaic is matched.

This is mostly the same as the name Abraham on the lamp, but slightly different than the lamp and also very elegant.

Besides fixing left/right and up/down issues, this reprint involved much better color management across the entire exhibit. The trunk and limbs are now using a light brown matte plastic similar to wood. The flowers are also now mostly in that same color. The leaves and interior bases of the flowers are now following the vowels. The silver birds fly in yellow bird cages as per the color scheme of the lamp.

This color scheme draws the eyes of anyone looking at the exhibit to the flowers themselves, not the trunk and various joints. A very nice conclusion to several weeks of iteration and work.

Rainbow Color Choices

Several weeks back I discussed the use of magenta for the rainbow color of violet. This was to help with anyone color blind who might not see the differences between the dark blue and violet as given from the rainbow itself.

This week I have been 3d printing an alternative color scheme that solves this problem in a different way.

Instead of moving from violet to magenta, I am trying a scheme where the violet stays as violet and the blue gets turned into a much lighter blue.

This change in blue was initially tried to fix a contrast problem with blue that was otherwise too dark. Dark blue made it difficult to easily see black lettering. By making the blue lighter, the use of magenta for purple is not needed.

This is more faithful to the Rainbow as the source for the color scheme. It should be more friendly to the most common color blind pattern of not seeing red very well. It also fixes a contrast item across the alphabet related exhibits. Watch for pics on Telegram for how this turned out.

Holidays Upcoming

The upcoming holiday week of Unleavened Bread begins with Selection Day on February 6, 2025. Check the calendar app, linked above, for other specific dates.

The prophetic week itself beings February 11, 2025. These weeks often contain strange prophetic events that map out to the following 7 months. This happens if you are following the schedule or not, thus it is an interesting week to pay attention to headlines and strange personal events.

Annual Planners
