It’s hard not to panic. But don’t.

Day 14

Chaos is a goddess. Khaos is how she sometimes spells it. Ruler of the primordial world before the world took more solid form, she ruled that chasm in time and place and returns.

Surprise.

The Universe began as a strange sort of soup. Large galaxies hadn’t yet formed, and flying particles were hotter than the centres of stars in the Universe today.

Chaos is messy goo of parts of the universe at the beginning. She then gave way, changing, magnetized, polarized, it’s perhaps the motion of the robes of Chaos that revealed consciousness into being to build within the creation. How could Chaos not be the feminine, working to birth, not with perfection but to find lasting strength. There is not one beginning to the world in which we live. Can you prove just the one?

There’s little mistaking the littler deaths and rebirths along the way of time. Change, renewal, the wearing away begins again and new car smell spray works for a time.

Like the muses…She will come and go. Eat the fruit of confusion. Lounge on the platform of X. Why? Z. Also Xi.

Chaos gets in your shoes and itches you right through your socks, confounding a train of thought, dismissing a moment to be kind for all the irritation.

She will convince you, you might not have enough and eye your neighbor. You will read the news, hearing of the worse and harder luck of others and wonder when is your turn…seeing people fall around you.

The fires as climate chaos continues, the loss envelops your world. Slipping slowly, it excellerating. Movie script or reality, the chaos is as smoke to a home on fire, you just can’t tell what’s burning and what is not. Obstruction is the little helper of Lady Chaos who’s hands on Earth are being summoned by all the you know who’s.

Musk is a thug. Puts his child through the exercises. Wears him on his shoulders. Soon he will be demanding to be let down.

How many bodyguard mercenaries does Elon travel with? He has a personal protection gang of 15-30 are the numbers I’ve seen. Just how many go with him to wash his hands? Best ones for that or punishment detail? Check out the word forced…

“But then, yesterday, Elon Musk forced the resignation of David A. Lebryk, the highest-ranking career official at the Treasury Department. Lebryk had been at since 1989 and had risen to become the person in charge of the U.S. government payment system that disburses about $6 trillion a year through Social Security benefits, Medicare, Medicaid, contracts, grants, salaries for federal government workers, tax refunds, and so on, essentially managing the nation’s checkbook.”

Quoted from Heather Cox Richardson. She continues to tell us what happened. Her tone today is pitch perfect, like a surgeon visiting the family of her patient. “Time will tell.”, is the news.

According to Jeff Stein, Isaac Arnsdorf, and Jacqueline Alemany of the Washington Post, Musk’s team wanted access to the payment system. Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) demanded answers from Trump’s new Treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, warning that “these payment systems simply cannot fail, and any politically-motivated meddling in them risks severe damage to our country and the economy. I am deeply concerned that following the federal grant and loan freeze earlier this week, these officials associated with Musk may have intended to access these payment systems to illegally withhold payments to any number of programs. I can think of no good reason why political operators who have demonstrated a blatant disregard for the law would need access to these sensitive, mission-critical systems.”

Now, though, with Musk’s people at the computers that control the nation’s payment system, they can simply stop whatever payments they want to.

More on the situation generally from AP news. There hasn’t been a response to his actions yet as we learn what we can.

Aphrodite above.

Chaos,…

…she glides through the smoke like a dragon with wings. Blue bird of happiness or circling turkey vulture, grab on to her back and let her glide and circle back around again and inverted,.. hold tightly. She is the one to hold as she is also Fate, but, she always dies.

So fragile and still so strong, in a lightning like flash she does fade. Always will. So ride her well. Where you steer she will go. Trust yourself to be changed too. For without warning, it’s over. Chaos disintegrates and there you are, in someplace perhaps where everything is different.

A trickle of ash falls to the ground to seed Opportunity fed by the coming storm..

Chaos can be a trickster, making us unsure, making trust difficult. Hold tight to what you love.

In the midst of the largest security breach perhaps since the concept of keeping things secret, Musk has all the payment information for the government. Including all the information the g o v, has on y o u . The stuff all about you, under a couple of steps of encryption and an email or text is unavoidable to access. All that is an open book for Elon’s talons, in theory. Waiting to see the practical part, if at all.

He’s a thug. While we worry, we are all in the same dingy now. (That’s the very smallest boat bigger boats tow. It’s the lifesaver boat.) Scoot over, will ya?

And lastly, more Bowie offered from a time when changes were some fifty years ago. In his last performance of Changes as Ziggy Stardust, a character he played, “Changes.”

The last lines of the lyrics, the hook, are…

Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
Pretty soon now you're gonna get older
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I said that time may change me
But I can't trace time

Thanks for being here. I wouldn’t be here without you.
