All Hallows' Eve - The Upside Down

It's All Hallows' Eve. The boundary between this world and the Otherworld thins today. The ancient Celts called this day "Samhain" from old Irish meaning "summer's end". The Brittonic Celts called it "Calan Gaeaf" meaning "first day of winter".

Today we call it Halloween. Today our children go Trick or Treating. Today the boundary between our democracy and chaos is razor thin. We could be entering The Upside Down.

Stranger Things are happening. Stranger Things have been happening ever since Barack Obama was elected President and the Tea Party first appeared on our political landscape.

Stranger Things arrived on Tuesday, November 8, 2016. Stranger Things took control on January 20, 2017 when Donald Trump, the anti-President, officially became the 45th President of the United States.

The Printer's Devil surfaced in Trump's Inauguration poster. Apparently is was "too great" a task for the typesetter.

Trump winced in pain when he put his hand on the Bible for the Oath of Office.

Trump's appointment of a "White House Chief Strategist" and "Special Counselor to the President of the United States" was clearly an indication of how we have shifted into a new political dimension - The Twilight Zone of American extremism and white supremacist nationalism.

Trump's bromance with Vladimir Putin is unprecedented in American politics. Our foreign policy has turned into a Little Shop of Horrors.

We have invited Dracula - Vlad the Impailer - into our Administrative Branch and he is infecting everyone.

Yesterday we learned of the first three indictments brought by Special Counsel Robert Muller.

Gates, Papadopoulos and Manafort are what could be the beginning of the end of a corrupt administration that threatens to bring our Republic to ruin - an administration that has taken us into The Upside Down - an administration well on the path to totalitarian rule.

We can expect this administration to use dirty Tricks and foul Treats to survive. If Trump succeeds, we'll all be losers. We'll be the worst generation - the generation that surrendered the country to the Forces of Darkness. 

The Exorcist is here. He is working to save our government from the Invasion of the Body Snatchers. He is exposing the corruption of our body politic by Russian operatives and criminal enterprises and ruthless American opportunists.

Papadopoulos has already pleaded guilty and has been serving as a cooperating witness since July. He is an important government witness. He has been wearing a wire for months.

Manafort and Gates are on home detention after pleading not guilty and posting multimillion dollar bonds. They are each facing 12 felony count indictments that include "Conspiracy Against The United States".

Guess who is railing against Muller's investigation? Guess who is doing all he can to bring it to an unsuccessful end?

Holy Moly!
