The Switch: Good vs Evil (Featuring Laura Loomer)

Picture a world so politically correct that when Ilhan Omar's band of Islamomarxist radicals take down all communications in New Mexico with the help of Peruvian Maoist narcotraffickers in a plot to kidnap children and a wealthy CEO, the situation can only be resolved by Laura Loomer and her revenge-thirsty FBI best friend.

https://preview.redd.it/cvpi0ky9k94e1.jpg?width=1500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=47b61f3873ca587c77b7c7ff8e9c7bc1309ec173

"But OP," you're thinking to yourself, "that isn't a very realistic scenario." You're right - Ilhan Omar doesn't live in New Mexico. Suspend your disbelief.

To be fair, this pathetic attempt at a thriller novel doesn't name-drop Omar directly. Her part is played by "Rashida Tahhaj," an undocumented Haitian who married her brother to gain entry to the United States and yet remains undocumented somehow. She and her brother are the offspring of the man behind the notorious 1983 World Trade Center bombing.

"But OP," I hear you thinking to yourself again, "The World Trade Center bombing was in 1993, not 1983." Do you have to be right about everything all the time? Our author certainly doesn’t. You could learn from her.

The Switch is a confusing excuse for a novel. It centers, mostly, around the experiences of Special Agent Maria Quintana, loyal FBI agent and American patriot, who has to fight not only Islamic radicals and undocumented immigrants but also the corrupt FBI, which she does with the help of her best friend: real-life "journalist" Laura Loomer, whose views and general demeanor are inexplicably indistinguishable from Quintana's.

"There was nothing Laura and I enjoyed more than bringing down murderous traitors to our country," Maria says early on. You could expect from this sentiment alone that this novel would be fictitious revenge porn; a tale of morally upstanding patriots putting undocumented immigrants in their place and sticking it to those Muslims. To the extent you'd expect it, you'd get it. This fairly straightforward daydream in which right-wing values are demonstrated to be superior to the degeneracy of "the left" is interrupted only by two big plot twists.

This is a halfhearted spoiler alert. Consider yourself warned. And don't kid yourself - you're not going to read this book.

Laura Loomer infiltrates a Jihadist compound by wearing a "padded bra to enhance herself" and getting a patchwork of tattoos so that she can imitate "La Monstrua," with whom the Jihadists are in cahoots but have never actually seen. She does basically nothing but walk in the door, confirm that the Islamists live in their own filth and have killed at least one child, and walks back out without gathering evidence.

Nearly simultaneously, and only tangentially related, the Maoist "Shining Path of Peru" takes down CT&T's communication infrastructure in New Mexico and kidnaps CEO Tom Yust, taking him into South America for an enormous ransom.

There is next to no character development. Some characters give vague psychological insights which rarely come back up. Special Agent Quintana, for instance, is told by the Governor of New Mexico to "Get these terrorists, Maria."

"'I plan to.' But I had no plan to bring them back alive. No lawyers. No comfortable jail cells with three squares a day."

Maria thinks to herself a lot, and her narrativizations are so cartoonishly Hispanic that any even partially observant reader will correctly guess the author is not Hispanic. She insists on thinking to herself in very basic Spanish sentences only to translate them to herself in English for the reader's benefit, her mind seems to constantly dwell on trivia that the author seems to think a Hispanic woman would likely know, and the combined presence of these elements does nothing to advance the story. The author employs this nonsense to waste the reader’s time with near-gifted skill.

And the stereotypes employed are in good company: a character with the name of O'Malley appears only long enough to be drunk on Guinness, for instance. The Peruvian military does not escape this gaze.

"Transforming society was not of interest to them. They would rather be drinking and mingling with prostitutes, since Peruvian men weren't known for their work ethic."

These are billed as hard truths rather than stereotypes. Any book featuring Laura Loomer is bound to be full of hard truths, like this one delivered by Loomer herself when the fictitious fill-in for Ilhan Omar, Rashida, is captured:

"I was told by a source that you don't have a clitoris. That makes sense since you practice FGM (female genital mutilation). No wonder you're so angry. You can't have an orgasm... no matter how hard you bang your brother."

Rashida then lunges at Loomer. This is another incessant theme straight out of a predictable film: characters routinely lunge at each other over tables. And yes, the parenthesis inside the quote are directly from the quote; speechlessly bad writing.

At one point, the corrupt Agent Brunk tries to discourage Agent Quintana's vigilantism by leaving an honest-to-God severed human head on her mother's front porch. Agent Quintana doesn't know who she can trust, except for Enrique Tarrio, leader of the Proud Boys, whose personage is also characterized here. Tarrio becomes a leading character from this point forward, but as for the severed head… there isn’t a single curious neuron among all the involved characters as to whom the damn head belonged to. It doesn’t even come back up.

So, what's the big twist? Actually, there are two.

Agent Quintana was switched with the daughter of the world's most notorious cartel kingpin at birth. This plays no role in events, it doesn't even have a major psychological impact on Quintana, and reading it as written is even less interesting than you would think.

Agent Quintana also partners with a DEA agent who turns out to be working for... Big Social Media. That is correct - the mission given to him by Mack Morsey of Jitter, and Adolf Pickerburg of Friendbook, is to frame Laura Loomer for murder so she can't violate the terms of service anymore.

That is hardly what was promised:

“Are you a fan of Laura Loomer?" the description on Goodreads asks. "Do you like triggering snowflakes? If the answer is yes, then you'll love this book because Laura Loomer is the QUEEN of triggering snowflakes and jihadist lovers."

I love a good Jihad as much as the next guy, but for someone who went into this expecting triggers with the turn of every page, I didn’t get triggered even once. Every once in a while, however, this book did make me laugh.

I’ll just speedrun some of the unintentionally funny highlights:

In chapter 41, Laura Loomer confronts a judge who is also a stereotypical hippie, living in a house of “upcycled materials,” and for whom sustainability was very important. “Judge,” Laura says, “I have Alec Smith with Infonews on the line.” She then explains that she offered on his behalf to allow undocumented immigrants to live in his house. He is then depicted as a hypocrite for not permitting it.

In chapter 83, Agent Quintana commands her dog to kill an assassin, and it does so right in front of her. She then sits down with her group of Proud Boys and eats breakfast before mentioning that she watched somebody die a few minutes before and had already hid the body.

In chapter 89, “Maoist, Marxist, and Leninist” Comrade Angela cut the breast implants out of a recently murdered woman and “stuffed them down her throat.” As a side-note, there is an obsession with breast sizes shared by most characters in this book, and in this review alone this is the second time breast enhancement has been mentioned. It's unavoidable.

In chapter 97, Maria’s ostensible father performs the heroic final action of protecting his ex-wife from an Islamic terrorist who has stalked her to her safe house. “I was able to pull my gun and shoot Muhammad in the head,” he says. “He died instantly, and I died seconds later in a pool of my blood.”

In chapter 100, natives of the Peruvian rainforest stop protesting an oil pipeline that has poisoned all the fish in their local river. Why? Because they were paid a $10 million bounty and “had enough money to buy food.” Problem resolved!

So what do we get for all of this? Is there anything we can take away?

Let’s start here:

”Most reporters didn’t have the balls to do true undercover work like I did, but I was trained by the best. Most reporters preferred to work off talking points handed to them as they dreamed of anchoring a news show in the future. That wasn’t me, though. I wanted to make a difference. I wanted to expose evil people. I lived for the thrill of cornering my targets and exposing them for who they were… frauds.”

These are the thoughts of a fictionalized Laura Loomer preparing to risk her life to uncover the murder of a child. That’s not “fraud.” This thought, out of place in the context in which it appears, seems to target a broader category of humanity. The bizarre phrasing can be made sense of with poignance when one also suspects this book was written by Laura Loomer herself.

Obviously this isn’t a confirmed suspicion; it is indeed possible that Laura Loomer has a superfan out there with deficient writing abilities, and since this is the default position we’ll just run with it.

In this world, not only are the FBI and the judicial system remarkably corrupt, but a looming disaster finally comes of it - a terrorist attack on US soil, made possibly by an insufficiently guarded southern border and the apathy of political correctness. No journalist is covering this. It takes true patriots exhibiting a disregard for human life and a severely deluded “us vs. them” mentality to do anything whatsoever about it. The disparate, unaligned South American radical leftists and radical Islamic undocumented immigrants in the United States (two groups with theoretically nothing in common) are depicted as a single amorphous conglomerate of anti-Americans who are enabled by the social mores of liberalism.

This could be considered propaganda, though propaganda traditionally attempts to be readable. This novel hardly is. From an outsider’s perspective, without all the deep Q-revealed truths clanging around inside my head, the plot is bland; the twists don’t pay off, the stakes aren’t compelling, there are no moral quandaries to work out - and if none of this is present, what about this “Bond-style thriller” is supposed to hook the reader?

The answer to that is the only thing that remains: the blatant conservative disdain for established systems. This is the sort of product that only comes out of an echo chamber. The author threw a handful of familiar names and situations which addled alt-righters would appreciate into a unified piece of literature, and seems to have believed this was enough to create a novel. No further thought was put into it. This book is to novels what “God’s Not Dead” is to films - an in-group reference whose proper place is in the middle of a circle-jerk.

The departure from lived experiences within reality is so obvious, this novel absolutely stands as an example of the aesthetic damage rendered by fringe politics. The right-wing in-group references did not merely replace an otherwise-default “political correctness” or liberality in the work, but also replaced the very elements of writing that a good novel would have included - the author, if we are to believe she wrote this in earnest, is so far down her rabbit hole that she is now exhibiting an inability to use written words in a way appreciable by their fellow humans.

Left with nothing to analyze except the slough of right-wing references, this book depicts a very limited world in which one’s worst fears become true. Children are being sacrificed in your own backyard. The evil-doers come and go as they please. The authorities are powerless to stop them. And some day, when it all catches up with us, you will be the victim. The only people who are going to help you are the Qanon believers, the patriots who don’t believe in taking prisoners alive, the right-wing paramilitaries who go above and beyond the law in service of their mission.

That is the point the author wishes to get across: that we should appreciate those people more, and that some day we will be sorry we didn’t listen. But as right-wing “art” often goes, it doesn’t make that point successfully. And its failure to do so is itself uninteresting.

We are aware the official website now links to porn

Reviewing obscure literature just wasn't paying the rent so we've pivoted our business.

But seriously, it appears the domain was sniped at some point. We will get a new one. In the meantime it's pretty funny.

"Seconds" by Bryan Lee O'Malley

This one has a convoluted plot galore, shallow character development, and lackluster execution of its fantastical elements. The story feels rushed and fails to fully explore its intriguing premise, leaving readers feeling disconnected and unsatisfied. Additionally, the protagonist, Katie, is unrelatable and I know I'm not the only one that struggle to empathize with her journey. She looks on crack 90% of the book.

It appears that Bryan needed something to fund his cocaine addiction and produced this trash out of necessity, even when everyone knows that in Canada coke is cheap af.

"Seconds" falls short of the high expectations set by O'Malley's previous works. (That weren't as high as you may think but c'mon,a tree was sacrificed to print this shit)

In the end It's a snore fest for scene kids.

Vampire Vow

I searched the sub for this book, and didn't see it so I wanted to suggest it to anyone who'd like to read a romance vengeance book between a vampire and Jesus. It's truly wonderful, and I laughed out loud at some of the penis descriptions, which I won't ruin for y'all here. If you like shit then you'll love this book.

John Ringo's "The Last Centurion"

I wish I had time to write an in-depth review of just what a massive piece of shit this book is. The Last Centurion by John Ringo is a right-wing wet dream fantasy novel that is so far over the top that if I didn't know his politics I would have sworn it was written as a satire of the Right.

It's been several years since I read it, and it still holds the top place of the single shittiest book I've ever read.

Looking for a specific classic literature piece of shit

I remember finding a book once, written in the 1800-1900s, which I've been looking for for years and I'm sure someone here is very fond of it.

It's an autobiography, it's full of typos and grammar mistakes ("solt-and-pepperd with them", as the author boasts), by some kind of con artist (if I remember correctly the prologue, which is the one part written coherently).

The guy had a very ugly dog (on the cover?) and a gaudy mansion with very expensive statues of gods etc. along his front porch, both of which are depicted in the book as engravings.

The book contains an account of how this guy faked his own death and arranged for a big funeral, during which he believed his wife was not crying hard enough, so he snuck in the kitchen and started beating on her, which is how the rest of the guests learned he was still alive.

To emphasize, the entire book (prologue excluded) is written with English so broken it's barely decipherable, sounding like fancy stylised low-brow-poetic person with a deep hatred for dictionaries. At some point I believe he ridicules writers who can spell good.

In any case, it's one of my favorite books and I lost it many years ago, but I remember it being up on the web archive and I imagine it's public domain. Does anyone recognise this book?

Couple of the worst books I've ever read

Hands down, Twilight. What trash. Unbelievable to me that grown ass adults would be into something that reads like it was written by a racist 5th grader thats in love with sparkly vampires. And, and! the 50 Shades of Grey series. Ridiculous. The author should be embarrassed. I can't believe people bought these books, much less movies were made from them. The main character is blushing and the flushing in every other paragraph.

Top 10 Pieces of Shit

I’m currently in undergrad for English (creative writing degree). I have all the fears and doubts about writing something good and I’m frequently stopping myself.

One thing that keeps me going is reading excerpts online of the books recommended here. Books that lack structure and basic fundamentals—and no one told these authors “no!”

So if you were to curate a top 10 of “shittiest books” for a bookshelf, what would you recommend and why.

For reference, the book I want to get in the shelf as soon as I can is Trigger Warning by William W Johnstone.

Has anyone heard of this weird-ass YEC manga/light novel? A summary/review I guess...

Hi, I'm not sure this is the right place for this, but I just had to share my "experience", and this *seemed* like the most appropriate place. So anyway, I was on YouTube when I saw this video in my recommendations:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRhLZzM-kNg

And after watching it, being the connoisseur of horrible media that I am, I decided to read the entire trilogy. I mean, a YEC light novel (though both Gutsick Gibbon and the author Tim Chaffey call it a manga) that's gotta be hilariously bad! Unfortunately, it wasn't. Er, slight spoilers for the series if anyone wants to read it for themselves.

Ok, so Gutsick Gibbon did a pretty good job summarising the first book, but basically, there are these four kids, Jax, JT, Isaiah, and Micky, who all go to a high-tech middle school "Silicon Valley Prep". Isaiah and Micky are atheists, JT is an evangelical YEC Christian, and Jax is a -style anti-theist who is angry with God since his Dad "died". Anyway, Jax and Isaiah invent a time machine for their science fair and go back 4,500 years, where they run into an Allosaur who chases them. Jax and Isaiah are split up, and Jax goes back to the present to get the girls' hoverboard to save him from JT and Micky, who accompany him back into the past. Anyway, JT does a bunch of evangelising while they are there about YEC, but the others mostly don't take her seriously. Finally, they head back, the girls win the science fair, and JT rejects Jax since he isn't a Christian. That was pretty much the first book, it was not great, but at least had a plot, and I kinda like Isaiah as a character, I love how he respects everyone's beliefs and isn't trying to change people's religions. Overall, if you could cut out the evangelising parts and maybe make Jax less hostile towards religion, it's an okay-ish children's novel.

Oh boy, book 2, on the other hand, was literally just 100 pages of evangelising. I actually hated this one and nearly stopped reading. The only plot that happens here is that Jax's dad is post-humorously under investigation for potential foul play in the explosion that "killed" him, and so Jax and Isaiah go back to film the explosion and prove he wasn't guilty (they don't want to actually interact with the past in fear of time paradoxes). The rest of the book was pretty much evangelism, and weirdly enough, a lot of it wasn't even YEC stuff, just general Christian evangelism (which isn't really interesting to me), although there was one chapter of JT's dad to Jax explaining why YEC is necessary to solve the problem of evil after he was upset about his father's "death". Oh yeah, Jax converts back to Christianity after hearing one sermon at a youth group meeting and having a chat with JT's pastor afterwards.

Anyway, book 3 was a bit better but still pretty heavy on evangelising. Books 2 and 3 kinda blurred together for me a bit, but basically, in either this or the previous book, they introduced a character who was basically a super-smart former student at Silicon Valley Prep who is a YEC but hides this from his colleagues to avoid judgment. He ends up being more relevant here as he supports one of JT's arguments for YEC (star formation), and also accompanies the kids on a time travel trip to the past. JT and Jax get separated from the others, but they find them again. I also remember Jax and Isaiah getting separated from the girls at one point; gee, this is what I mean about it all blurring together. Oh yeah, also, the girls rescue a wounded child who they found in a raided village. They don't take them away but just remedy their wounds and leave them to be found by a survivor. Anyway, they go back to the present. Isaiah becomes a Christian, and Jax's father (who actually survived but was in captivity) arrives home after sending out a distress signal, which was picked up thanks to increased surveillance in the area as a result of Jax and Isaiah's video. Finally, Jax shows his Dad the time machine, and they go on adventures together. Not gonna lie, I found the ending to be kinda sweet, I liked it. But overall, the book, while an improvement over book 2, was still pretty mediocre.

Overall, I didn't really like this book series, it wasn't batshit insane enough to be funny (like Gramp's Goes to College or The Evolution Song), and a lot of the time, the actual plot felt completely overshadowed by the authors evangelising through JT. Basically, in this universe, Young Earth Creationism is just true, but we still have all the present-day evidence of Evolution and an old Earth. The only way they were able to prove YEC was by literally travelling back in time. Also, JT tries to draw a distinction between Natural Selection and Evolution, and that whole part was just really confusing to me. Also, I felt that a lot of the arguments/proofs of YEC given in the book, outside of literally travelling back in time and proving it, were pretty weak. There were a few that maybe sounded good if you didn't have a good science education, but a lot of them were pretty weak, and even me, with no professional training, could dissect most of them. Surprisingly the book went to some pretty dark places regarding religion, and not just YEC stuff, like when the smart former student character talks about how children would have died in Noah's Flood, and also JT's pastor tells Jax he's evil because he stole some change from his Mum's purse, and also I think because he was horny (IDK that part was really vague). I get this is stuff that adult Christians might talk about, and I really don't want to insult any Christians who might be reading this, but putting this kinda stuff in a kid's book just felt weird to me.

So, has anyone else had experience with this series? Also, should I write a mini-fic that just kinda plays the premise straight? JT is an annoying evangelical trying to convince people of YEC, with basically no success, Jax is the overly mean  user who everyone dislikes since they actively hate anyone/anything adjacent to religion, and Isaiah and Micky are just a couple of chill students.

Sorry for this being way too long, and also, if it's kinda not-greatly written, I'm a bit tired, and this is just something I typed up real quick, lol. Thanks for reading :)

There should be a ultra-list on goodreads of every single book with an average rating below 3.0.

There are "bad book" lists on the site, but most of them either are books rated 3.0 or more with a few bad books sprinkled in there, or missing out on some of them. For example, I found a coloring book on goodreads with a 2.76, but it does not appear on any bad book list. Heck, if anything, most of these lists are "MY TEACHER MADE ME READ THIS AND NOW IM :(" ones. If you make it real, then I will be proud.

American Psycho: Review

Review: American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis It was a very detailed book on Patrick Bateman and his crimes and life. Only thing I didn’t like was how detailed some of the chapters were, example Bateman’s apartment or the chapter of the Artist’s and songs. I enjoyed the perspective of showing Bateman’s mind and how he thought. It was a good book, but kinda slow.

Love Joy Trump: A Chorus of Prophetic Voices [Part III: Conclusion]

Conclusion:

This is the 3rd and final Part. You can find Parts I and II HERE and HERE respectively.

I read it so you wouldn't have to; 324 pages of God's word spoken through contemporary prophets with a singular running theme of Donald Trump's 2020 re-election being divinely secured by forces well beyond our capacity to understand.

Imagine you actually believed it was true. Imagine being so certain of this as an inevitability that no other reality could possibly make sense. How would you explain Joe Biden? How would your certainty affect your perception of the Capitol Riot? How would you answer people who asked you if you might have been wrong?

Love Joy Trump is an artifact of the QAnon movement whose compiler selected her material seemingly with very few parameters. The only common denominator is hope. Each of the contributors to Love Joy Trump justify the certainty of Trump's 2020 re-election with purely metaphysical means, and what makes this book unique is that it is not shy about admitting that without faith in this result it would be hard to believe in it. The months leading up to the 2020 election were filled with uncertainty amidst the height of the Covid pandemic, and whether Trump was ultimately going to win or not was irrelevant to how certain that outcome might be considered - it was not certain, and to someone living in an alternate reality where absolutely everything on the news is fake and the world is run by a pedophilic "Cabal" of Satan-worshippers, that certainty was a psychologically necessary.

From the outside looking in, the resulting product of BethAnon's work is madness. The audience this book is written for is the same audience who is likely to believe that Trump actually did win re-election in 2020 and Joe Biden is either an AI-generated hologram or a clone. They might believe that in Trump's secret second term, he executed Hillary Clinton to please Jesus, and that Guantanamo Bay holds nearly every familiar politician within its walls awaiting their own executions on live television. These are actual QAnon beliefs.

So if the only way to have been right all along is for all of that to be true, why shouldn't it be up to Ashtar Command or Christine's "Ascended Twin Flame Andre whom she knew as a cousin till he passed away in 1972?" If nothing you ever believed to be true ever was, except that God exists and loves you almost as much as he loves Donald Trump, are "Star seeds," "lightworkers," or "Reptilians from the Draco constellation" really so far fetched?

This book was a slog but it was an oddly rewarding read, especially when it all culminates with its hundreds of pages of Evangelical prophesies being discarded abruptly in favor of honest-to-God interdimensional aliens defying the laws of physics in the name of peace, love, and the Constitution of the United States. I didn't see it coming.

This book, by the way, is entirely serious. As I was telling others about the experience of reading it, I was asked multiple times if this was a joke. It is not a joke. It takes itself fully seriously and if anyone contributing within it is simply trolling us, they pulled it off spectacularly.

Some part of me has always been fascinated by such fervent delusions. It may be the result of my upbringing as a staunch fundamentalist Christian who will never be fully recovered. It may be mere morbid curiosity. It is made easy by the psychological distance I perceive to be between myself and someone who would write this:

"Around the middle of Barack Obama's second term, I began to hear from several ministers that their congregations (of different denominations) had begun to spontaneously and fervently pray for our country. These were not generic 'God Bless America' prayers; they were heartfelt anguish over America's drift from God's Truth and way, begging for God's mercy and grace to give us another chance." - Garret Ward Sheldon, Love Joy Trump page 259

Anguish is a very strong word. It's the sort of emotional sensation you might experience if you accidentally ran over a child with your car, or if your spouse were to be diagnosed with a terminal illness. To be so committed to one's syncretized 'politicoreligion' as to experience anguish over the re-election of Barack Obama, and believe the anguish you feel to be a measure of punishment, is not something former Evangelicals have to imagine. It is, for many of us, a core memory. Love Joy Trump is an artifact in this way as well - it documents the thoughts of a somewhat diverse range of fanatics, some of whom may be relatable to yourself in some prior time.

Is there a takeaway here? Arguably not a cohesive one. This is not, after all, a cohesive book. For Mike Lindell to introduce one to a drudging tome of mostly-transcribed prophetic political drivel, all to be led to some imagined 5th dimension in which Trump actually did win the 2020 election and everything is secretly right with the world thanks to the woo woo of spacemen, is an experience no reader deserves. For all I know, I was this book's only reader.

This book may have spoken more to me than it would to you. In some alternate reality, maybe in Christine's 5th dimension governed by the Galactic Federation of Light, I may have ended up as one of these people. That perceived "psychological distance," as I named it, may be illusory. I often suspect it is. Have you ever seen someone you otherwise respected fall face-first down a non-sensical rabbit hole? It, strangely, happens to the best of us. If you must find an established point to Love Joy Trump, try reading it as a cautionary tale of what your life may look like if only you surrender your skepticism.

I found my copy to be unexpectedly signed by BethAnon. It's possible that they all are. And it's going to sit on my shitlit shelf right next to "Breadtube Serves Imperialism" and "Qanon: An Initiation to the Great Awakening" where it belongs. It gets 2 stars from me, because in the end the journey through the interdimensional war between the Galactic Federation of Light and the Dark Ones made it worth it, barely. It just... doesn't take a couple hundred pages of spoken Evangelical prophesies to win a galactic war.

Love Joy Trump: A Chorus of Prophetic Voices [Part II: Message from Ashtar Command]

A Message from Ashtar Command:

My favorite chapter in this entire book is "Archangels & Ascended Masters: A Synthesis of Presidential-Election Prophecies," and it's not close. Just before Love Joy Trump closes out with a list of "truthers" and Trump quotes, we are given a Biblical reframing of the hopelessness in Trump's 2016 election bid: intervention on a GALACTIC scale.

Prophesies must be fulfilled, or they aren't genuine prophesies. Love Joy Trump doesn't leave us hanging in this regard - the hundreds of pages of prayerful right-wing appeals to heaven all lead up to this moment where the tangibility question is answered at the low, low cost of our grip on reality.

Christine Preston, with the help of Mother Mary, the "Archangel Michael and her Ascended Twin Flame Andre whom she knew as a cousin till he passed away in 1972," has been in contact with Ashtar Command. Ashtar Command, as I explained in Part I, is the air division of the Great White Brotherhood, which are affiliated with the Galactic Federation of Light. The depth of this affiliation is not explained.

Christine is in on "The Plan," as Q would say, and has dutifully transcribed and dated all communications she has received from the aforementioned heroes on the astral plane. On 18 February, 2016, Archangel Michael warned Christine of great upheaval to come in the United States. This came as a great surprise to her, because she's British. What did not bring great surprise to her was Archangel Michael contacting her at all, which is apparently a common occurrence.

"This turn of events will be deserved by those who have betrayed the trust of a Nation that was to be an example of democracy with a Constitution inspired by Saint Germain, and so dear to his heart... Mankind must be freed from its misconceptions, its mind set, and place its feet upon the path of enlightenment to recreate a civilization that will be represented in the Galactic Federation of Light. A new Gaia and golden age will then be recreated. We are all working together in unison, in a sacred relationship, to achieve this goal."

Only 10 days later, Christine was able to establish communication with the mother of Jesus Christ, Mother Mary, who confirmed that 9/11 was an inside job.

Christine heard from Archangel Michael again on 8 March of the same year. By this point, the war was already underway. Michael explained that the battlefront of the war for Earth's membership in the Galactic Federation of Light was...

"...in the psyche, but before explaining something about this I would like to mention that the forces of darkness, on the astral plane, are still attempting to sabotage the Ascension process and to influence political leaders, the Establishment, the military, and other groups in the financial and business sectors of the big Corporations, to avoid complying with the orders imposed upon them by the Forces of Light to go ahead with a program of Disclosure concerning truths that have been suppressed for more than a century."

ARE YOU ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT YET???

"This is taking place behind the scenes of the political scenarios and you may feel that they make no sense any more. A phase of transition with changes on the political front and financial system will also be initiated, and it will take place because of some events in the USA that will affect the whole world in the sense that as a result the adverse influence from the astral world will be greatly lessened."

If this is where our story ended, Christine and I would still have a lot of questions. We would have been expecting a near immediate shift to 4th density, for instance. The war effort demands it, you see. Thankfully, Archangel Michael cropped back up to explain exactly why this hadn't happened yet. Christine said:

"Then on March 18, Archangel Michael spoke of something that would happen before it was called the shift to 4th density and explained that some of the events expected in 2012 had not taken place.

'we wanted to convert more souls to a higher frequency of vibration so they could continue to exist on Earth. This is a world in transition and it is being lifted up to a higher dimension in the sense that physicality will still exist but in an exalted way, much like what you think of a Garden of Eden, or Paradise. So on September 28 2015, something that had been expected to take place in December 2012, finally happened.'"

Well, that helped a little. But it's not the full picture. We now know why the Galactic Federation of Light would hesitate to make a major move, but not why they were hesitating in exactly this case. Despite the uncertainty, Christine didn't back down, even if there were unspecified setbacks in the galactic plan. Finally, on 22 March, Christine received word directly from headquarters:

"Dear ones, this is an Alert from Ashtar Command. We are approaching a time of difficulty because of the planetary adjustment that will take place with the process of Disclosure. The Earth has entered a most dense area of the Ring of Light that is called the Photon Belt, and the entire Solar System is being buffeted by electro-magnetic waves."

It ALL makes sense now! Ashtar Command elaborated further that the electro-magnetic waves are...

"...instrumental to the Great Awakening as the photonic light and gamma rays... are stripping the psyche of mankind of negative elements in much the same way as the circles and swords of Blue Flame of Archangel Michael, as well as of the Elohim Hercules and Astrea."

The amazing Archangel Michael had managed to get this message through to Christine even though he was at war with negative waves! Ashtar Command went on to state that Earth was to play a role in the manifestation of the Divine Will, and that "we were close to the goal because the planetary body had been swept by a flux of energy..." and with that, it sounded like the tide had turned!

But we weren't out of the woods yet, it seemed. Ashtar Command was able to describe the enemy's plans directly to Christine:

"They have tried various tactics to create a global conflict and weaponize space... They intended to use their holographic technology to stage an alien invasion such as the one of 'Independence Day' or 'The War of the Worlds.' They are being kept under surveillance of the Galactic Federation of Light and Ashtar Command would not allow it."

Ashtar Command ended their transmission by stating that "some replacement in power, in just a few months from now" would create favorable conditions for Disclosure; a keystone to entering the Golden Age as a planetary member of the Galactic Federation of Light. So close, yet so far. But hope was not yet dead.

On 29 March, Archangel Michael returned, evidently from his battle with negative waves, to inform Christine that...

"...Disclosure would take place God's Way and there would not be any delays. He explained again that the forces of darkness have created scenarios to create wars and are still attempting to incite conflicts, but are failing. He also said that the two first Waves of souls functioning in the realm of awakened consciousness were influencing the Media and political scene."

Nearly a month went by; a month for the Forces of Darkness to continue inciting conflicts to prevent humanity from ascending. We readers again face the grim reality that the Galactic Federation of Light's victory in the war for Earth's membership may not succeed, considering all the negative waves out there. But just when hope seemed lost Donald Trump was revealed, by none other than Christine's Ascended Twin Flame Andre, to be in on The Plan!

"About the Presidential Elections we are still saying that Donald Trump is going to win them. Of course, it's a very delicate matter to make such a prediction where you stand, but we have seen the certainties in the timelines. There is a situation with who is pulling the strings in the political scenes of the world... If the dark ones, the Illuminati, or Cabal, attempt to control him by threat, blackmail, or anything of the kind, we will be intervening with Ashtar Command, the air division of the Great White Brotherhood."

Andre also stated that The Cabal was being given the chance to "turn to the Light," and that the Galactic Federation of Light was officially endorsing Donald Trump because the Earthling leader would need to "possess great strength and stamina in the present circumstances." Unfortunately, the war was about to shift to a more physical theater - the political system of the United States, where Trump would have to fight the Establishment while the Galactic Federation of Light continued to assault the Dark Ones on the Astral Plane. Andre also clued Christine in on the significance of this turn of events.

"The Elections will play an important role in the changes that will not only transfigure the American Continent, but the whole world. The Earth is the planet that as to play a key role in the Ascension to bring physicality to a higher place."

Both the Astral and Physical theaters of the war continued their lively violence, the fate of Earth relying on the success of both Donald Trump and Ashtar Command. We could not afford a single mistake in these dire times. But sometime between Christine's Ascended Twin Flame Andre's last visit, and 29 April 2016, the Forces of Light experienced a breakthrough and were able to predict victory on the physical plane. Archangel Michael contacted Christine and delivered the news personally:

"The World is emerging into a better reality in which America will become the example the founding Fathers wanted it to be. It was Saint Germain's dream, and he is causing it to unfold at the moment, as the Dark is on the run."

We weren't out for the count yet, and nobody had counted on the great Saint Germain's personal involvement in the war. The Saint who inspired the Constitution had finally arrived on the battlefront. Christine addressed the public directly to update the people of Earth on the current status of the physical theater of the war:

"On May 5th, Mother Mary gave me a message entitled 'Prophesy regarding the Elections.' I had 35 videos published at the time and now the number is 83... I would like to inform you that on 28 February, I received a message from Mother Mary saying that Donald Trump will be the elected president. I didn't hesitate to post the message on my Facebook page..."

Christine fully briefed the public about her communications with her Ascended Twin Flame Andre, Archangel Michael, Mother Mary, and Ashtar Command, letting us know that Trump's victory was now certain in 2016, because the Forces of Light needed him to take on the Establishment, and that they did not choose him arbitrarily:

"They are not supporting him because he happens to be aligned with the Divine Will. No, it's like he has incarnated for this mission..."

Continuing to assure the public of inevitable victory, Christine went on to recount the transmissions she had received from Mother Mary, only this time it was about three times longer for some reason. Between May and June, Christine's Ascended Twin Flame Andre informed her that Trump had won the necessary delegates! IN MAY, 6 MONTHS BEFORE THE ELECTION! "Once the strings of control are totally severed the Leaders of the Nations will be freed to make changes to spread peace around the world," he said, also stating that the elections were particularly crucial "because it was the nefarious activities of the War Industries that caused the decline along the lines plotted for many decades by the Dark Forces."

By June, Christine was informing the public that she was making videos to disseminate symbolism to help in the war effort, since the American and British elections would only be the tip of the iceberg - a lot needed to be done before Disclosure. Christine had also begun to receive messages directly from Saint Germain himself:

"Saint Germain conveyed to me the idea that the individuals opposing and fighting the Establishment... are taking a hard beating. Certain Ascended Masters are connected with this struggle. So Saint Germain has asked me to make calls for those who are fighting a battle for Freedom and see if a video with some prayers can be produced. He is the Hierarch of this New Age of Aquarius and of Freedom."

Dutifully, Christine produced the requested video and began to rally the troops herself. She had gone from a simple recipient of messages to an officer in the Forces of Light, supported by Ashtar Command and Mother Mary. Christine, friend of the Archangel Michael, Twin Flame to her cousin Andre, and prayer warrior in an unholy war for Earth's membership in the Galactic Federation of Light, prepared a public address with the passion and conviction of Q himself, rolling back the curtain and revealing the true identity of Donald Trump who had won his first election 6 months in advance:

"Donald Trump will be President by destiny. He is a soul extension of Saint Germain, who is an expert in creating wealth and has a momentum of Light that permits him to win any battle or confrontation with the Dark ones. Keep in mind that extensions, or incarnations or great beings such as Masters, Archangels, and Star seeds, are still veiled and do not possess memory of who they are. I have permission to release this information at this time as we know there is no need to keep this a secret from Lightworkers any more. Saint Germain is the Hierarch of the Aquarian Age and is involved with the Project of Peace, Prosperity, and recreation of civilization, which will propulse [sic] mankind, and this planet, in a golden age era. He was the one who shouted 'Sign that document!' when the Founding Fathers hesitated and were about to introduce the Constitution, Bill of Rights, etc, in 1776... As we have said before, the time ahead is one of Disclosure and then of Transition, with healing and teaching, as well as contacts and great encounters with inner and outer types. We will be able to meet when you have reached a higher level than the present one upon which you dwell.

"Ahead and beyond 2016 is a time of reconstruction, of enlightenment, of teaching, of the creation of a new Gaia, a time of Great Disclosure to continue unveiling suppressed truths and discovering new spiritual Science, a time of using new technologies. It's a time when many will be busy with their sacred labors and a time of great discoveries in preparation for a destiny greater and more wonderful than you can yet imagine. It is one of Reunion of twin flames and of other relationships too, of Peace, and of growth, one of Great encounters and of supernatural experiences as you are all progressing upon the path of Ascension, and are discovering the wonders of your inner Selves...

"We are having a revolution in spirit and consciousness. The liberation comes from the 7th Ray of Saint Germain, and the impulse of cosmic energies projected to Earth in this Age of Aquarius, the Hierarch of which is Saint Germain, who has been known for centuries as the Count of Saint Germain and has a reputation as the 'man who never dies.'

"The Violet Transmuting Flame also is the energy of forgiveness that erases the records, their causes, cores and memories. Its liberating effects will also cause the restoration of the Rights relating to every human being in this time of Transition to a Quantum Leap to the Fifth Dimension... The Master Jesus explained that the group of souls which had not yet been anchored in the 5th dimension, as far as consciousness, perception, attitude, or spirituality, goes, would be fished in a net of the 5th dimension by waves of the photonic light by the end of the year, and he asked our motto be 'Broadcast Love.'"

And there we have it. Had it not been for Ashtar Command holding back the Forces of Darkness on the Astral Plane, the Forces of Light on Earth could never have beaten the Establishment. Had Saint Germain not incarnated as Donald Trump to beat the Establishment, Ashtar Command could never have held back the Forces of Darkness on the Astral Plane. All had fallen into place exactly as Saint Germain had planned, and while victory could not officially be declared until the war was won once and for all, thanks to the valiant war reporting of Christine and her rallying of prayer warrior patriots worldwide, we certainly would have admitted defeat by now.

Not all heroes fight the bad guys in the streets. Sometimes, you have to take them down on Facebook and YouTube. Christine realized that, and with the help of the scribe BethAnon you can now rest assured that the Astral Plane is safe thanks to none other than Donald Trump. When you are telling your children about this some day, and they ask you what it was like, remember to tell them that we won "bigly" as you give them a thumbs-up, and remind them to "Broadcast Love" as Master Jesus commands.

Conclusion notes are in Part III.
