This Man Coined the Phrase “Out-of-Body Experience”

Robert A. Monroe (October 10, 1915 – March 17, 1985) It was this man’s work with his Monroe Institute that gave purpose and definition for the CIA Gateway Experience. I wanted to see if he was a messenger sent from … Continue reading

Don’t Laugh: Our Reality is the Back End of Infinity

The CIA Gateway Experience (June 9, 1983) I couldn’t resist the gif that keeps on giving (shown above). This is a torus. (I can’t believe it’s named that, either, since it implies a connection to Taurus, the Bull.) I won’t … Continue reading

Is He the Right Lawyer for Mr. Trump?

Todd Blanche (August 6, 1974) For the most part the defense of Donald Trump has been a haphazard affair. In fact, there were points in the cross-examination of Michael Cohen when (especially at the start) Blanche made it about himself. … Continue reading

The End of a Decade-Long Bromance

False Business Records? (May 14, 2024) I was inspired to write this post, following yesterday’s testimony by Michael Cohen in Donald Trump’s election interference case. Some have likened it to a divorce proceeding. And with the animosity on display, I … Continue reading

Lake Tahoe, Nevada (July 13, 2006) This one thought kept me awake for most of the night: was the meeting of Donald Trump and Stormy Daniels written in the stars? I decided to research the timings, according to stories from … Continue reading

Was It Prescience or Propaganda?

An Angel on One Shoulder, a Demon on the Other?

David Wilkerson (May 19, 1931 – April 27, 2011) I read “The Cross and the Switchblade” (1962) when I was in my teens. I never noted who the author was. Today’s YouTube video from Ellie Dreams Down Under brought this … Continue reading

“I’m Every Woman”

Jim Bailey (January 10, 1938 – May 30, 2015) I’d forgotten how good Jim Bailey‘s impersonations of famous female singers was. I was reminded by a Facebook clip of one of his appearances on “The Carol Burnett Show” yesterday. He … Continue reading

A “Casting Couch” Moment in Time

Stormy Daniels’ “Audition” (July 2006) It’s a story as old as mankind. Think back to the Garden of Eden. The Serpent entices Eve with the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. When he offers it to … Continue reading

He Told the World He was their Messiah

Sun Myung Moon (January 6, 1920 – September 3, 2012) His name references both the Sun and the Moon, with “shining” as his family name. Was he the Promised One? That’s a matter of speculation. My job is to separate … Continue reading
