Hush my darling, be still my darling, the lion's on the phone

Hmm . . .  a red telephone?

Y'all know by now that I don't shy away from crazy. Well, buckle up.

A little bird just whispered to me, "Is it possible that Donald J. Trump is in space right now?"

Why? How? This can't possibly be literal, right? I don't know, but there's something undeniably appealing about the idea of President Trump munching popcorn and looking down on the lying dog-faced pony show from Space Force One.

The synchronicity fairies consistently portrayed Trump's 2016 victory -- finalized in the wee hours of 9 November -- as a second 9/11, with Trump unexpectedly smashing through the twin towers of the uniparty. Could this be a third? After all, 9 + 11 + 2001 = 2021.

After 9/11, my even-crazier uncle and I played the game of retrospectively reading prophecies of the event into Nostradamus, Beatles lyrics, and so on. One such "prophecy" I discovered was in "The Guitar" by They Might Be Giants.

In the song "The Guitar," first they sing, "In the spaceship, the silver spaceship, the lion takes control." This sounds like a hijacking, and the name Osama means "lion" in Arabic. Later in the song, we hear, "The lion's on the phone." Just as in the Beatles' "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window," the phrase "on the phone" is an allusion to 9/11 by way of the emergency phone number 911. The music video cuts to footage of buildings collapsing right after they sing "on the phone." This song is from the album Apollo 18. Apollo suggests Apollyon, the demon mentioned in Revelation 9:11, and 18 plus two (move over once, move over twice) gives us 20 — that is 9 + 11.

The footage of buildings collapsing is accompanied by trumpet music.

Trump was first connected with the lion Aslan by Scott Alexander in Unsong.

The lion represents Trump. He’s big and predatory and has a mane of golden hair. Heck, even the political cartoonists have got this one; they’ve been drawing the theme of the lion attacking the elephant all year. The witch represents Hillary. She’s a powerful but widely-disliked old woman.

(This time around, the witch is apparently being played by Nancy Pelosi.)

Vox Day recently made the same connection, quoting the Narnia character Puddleglum and then replacing Aslan with Trump.

I'm on Trump's side even if there isn't any Trump to preside. I'm going to live as like an American as I can even if there isn't any America.

And what about Apollo 18? Far-darting Apollo is the god of the bow (céleste dieu d'arc et d'harpe), and 18 is 1/8, the date of the Battle of New Orleans. While that specific date has come and gone without being preceptibly pivotal, I don't think that means the Battle of New Orleans has lost its relevance.

Nothing to do but wait and see, watch and pray.

An internet commentator who tracks plane activity thought Trump is at NORAD, which would make sense as a good place to command the Space Force.

“Then one of the elders said to me, ‘Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals’” (Revelation 5:5).

I'm racking my brains as to how he could possibly win the nomination. Best I got:
Tomorrow he announces he will lead a legal and peaceful succession movement, upon resigning the presidency. There will be immediate popular support. Various leaders will then realize there company, or agency, and various plans will be shrunk significantly. Some "compromise" will be hammered out - such as the courts agreeing to take the cases or some such. The engines of deceit will suddenly switch to convincing everyone America is sacred, shared heritage etc.

It sounds dumb to me. The trouble is, even if the election was flipped somehow by a last minute S.C. ruling or something, there are many powerful interests who would not get on board. Their minds have to be changed. I don't believe there is an army of black helicopters ready to intimidate them and get away with it.
