       TOP SECRET
       Newport, Oregon & Mar a Lago, Florida
       Late October 2022
       Mack Stemple had always enjoyed Newport, Oregon.  His visit this
       morning was much the same for many years.  He had enjoyed his
       morning breakfast of razorback clams with fried eggs, hash
       browns and toast, at Aunt Macey’s Eatery, on SW Bay Boulevard, a
       popular local restaurant that looked out over the anchorage, and
       bay, of this sleepy coastal Oregon town.  Because of his ability
       to teleport, he had known many fine places and their restaurants
       over the years.
       It was going to be a fine morning along the coast, he thought,
       as he stepped out onto the boulevard into the early morning
       light after it had stopped raining and the air was cool.  The
       fog had blown out to sea and the temperatures were still in the
       middle 40s.  He could see from the few people on the boulevard
       that they were comfortable in the morning chill, wearing their
       hooded, wool-lined windbreakers.  Soon that would change when
       the winter rains would come.  Then the coastal people would be
       switching over to warmer hooded jackets and raincoats.
       Mack Stemple walked down the boulevard, enjoying the fresh sea
       air.  As he walked along, he occasionally stopped and window
       shopped the various shops and stores that were along the
       boulevard.  As he did so, he thought back upon the memories of
       his past.
       He was thankful for his psionic abilities.  With teleportation,
       he was well-traveled.  With telepathy, he could listen to many
       people’s thoughts and experience their memories. One could gain
       a certain wisdom in that, he thought.  Pausing in his walk, he
       faintly sensed the sounds, the brain pulses of many people in
       his immediate area.  Making the usual, precautionary area scan,
       he expanded his psionic awareness out to about 1600 meters,
       about a mile.  In his mind, he could faintly sense the outline
       of the maze of buildings that stretched inland from the
       boulevard, as well as of the ships and docks of the harbor.  He
       could hear the sound of most of the brain pulses in that area.
       Many times, because of his scans, he had escaped the dangers
       that were found in many places he had visited.
       Mack had spent a lifetime living in a way largely hidden from
       ordinary people.  He was once ordinary himself, a normal young
       boy.  His elementary school days were very much like his
       classmates.  He had the usual joys and hurts.  To his surprise
       he began to change during his junior high school years.  He
       first began to develop various telepathic gifts that provided to
       him both pleasant and unpleasant advantages over his classmates.
       Soon other psionic gifts followed.
       He remembered those autumn days of long ago when he was
       approached by strangers, who were also psionics, various Star
       People elders, who knew what he was going through, and who would
       help him in his adjustment to his new powers.  They would teach
       him many things.    They would tell him that he would live, very
       likely, for a thousand years.  They advised that at the twilight
       of a normal human life span, he would turn his interests
       outward, and would finally leave Earth, going off into the
       marvel and mystery of the Star People’s far flung stellar
       civilization.
       As he walked along the boulevard, he realized that those days
       had come.  He was now in that human twilight.  His parents were
       dead and also his wife, Callie, who died several decades ago in
       a car accident.  She was a woman to be grieved.  A shrewd,
       independent, educated, coastal Washington state woman, Callie,
       her curious full name, Calanthe Poulain, was many things, an
       intriguing, even a highly erotic, woman.  She was short, five
       feet five inches tall, small pert breasts, boyish hips and
       figure.  Unlike her friends, she was a daring woman, wearing
       halter tops and short cutoff denim shorts, despite the cool
       weather that was found along the Washington coast.  Her short,
       blond hair was invariably in the form of a page boy haircut.
       Until Mack had met Callie, he wasn’t conscious of the fact that
       there was more than one form of that kind of haircut.  Mack
       rarely delved into his eidetic memory.  As he remembered, some
       page boy styles were longer, others were shorter, and Mack had
       loved them all.  This hairstyle was a style she had chosen when
       she was young, and it suited her well.  Callie was an
       enthusiastic swimmer.  While young, she could be found swimming
       at local municipal pools, marveling the boys by her formidable
       athletic skills, her enthusiasm, and an atypical fine body
       muscle tone that made other, more beautiful women, envious.
       Mack reflected that Callie sometimes had the youthful pretty
       girl’s awkwardness in the presence of truly beautiful women.
       Callie weathered that awkwardness well.  She had that advantage
       that pretty girls eventually knew.  She understood that an
       erotic, pretty woman could many times, be much more interesting
       to men than many beautiful woman.  Men were generally less
       intimidated by a pretty, compared to a beautiful, woman.  To
       Mack, smitten by her charms, she was not merely pretty, she was
       beautiful, mystery to him.  She was a psi-blank and Mack
       couldn’t read her mind.  He loved every moment of his life with
       her and was heart-broken for years after her death.  It was a
       somber day when he had scattered her ashes from a helicopter off
       the shores of Whidbey Island, a place which they had both loved.
       Then there were the others that had died.  His good friends in
       New York, Preston and Sheryl Callendar were now dead.  They both
       died last month, their deaths only several weeks from each
       other.  Mack had attended their funeral on Long Island, in the
       presence of their sons, their wives, and their children.  He was
       pleased that that family had drawn close, which was uncommon
       from what Mack had known about the wealthy.  He knew that he was
       always welcome among the Callendars.  Tome, one of his psionic
       colleagues, was a friend of one of their sons.
       Mack’s mind ranged over the others in his past.  His first
       junior high school girlfriend, Kaitlyn, he hadn’t seen in
       decades.  He had lost her to another boy, whom she loved and
       later married.  Kaitlyn was not like Callie.  She was a
       genuinely beautiful woman, having long, lustrous black hair and
       luminous eyes.  She was a mysterious, dour girl, having an
       unhappiness that Mack could not understand.  Like Callie, she
       was also a psi-blank and Mack could never directly know her
       thoughts.  Though he had lost her, it was good that she had
       married his competitor in love, a boy who proved to be a much
       better man than he was.  Through him, she had many children and
       grandchildren.  As far as Mack knew, she was now a joyfully,
       fulfilled woman, and he wished the best for her and her family.
       Mack reflected that most of his other classmates from his
       academic years were dead or ailing in rest homes.  Most of the
       relationships that he had known among the normals were gone.
       Much of the world that he had grown up and lived in was, in many
       ways, gone.  For Mack, the 1960s and 70s were the times he most
       identified with.
       Nowadays, he felt himself out of place, not being a part of
       society, of the world, as he formerly had been.  It was as he
       had thought.  His twilight days had come and he would need to go
       off-planet as well.  He had spent his last Earth year
       off-planet, in another world with a Pleistocene biosphere,
       called Lantos 5.  Mack felt the desire of returning there, to
       Lantosmere, the floating city in the sky of that world.
       Compared to the pristine nature of Lantos 5, an entire planetary
       preserve, never to be settled or developed, Earth had lost its
       luster.
       
       As he walked along, Mack reflected back again upon his security.
       The ability to do an area scan made a great difference to his
       security.  He thought about the maze of buildings that were
       within his scan area and the ways he could escape if he was
       pursued for some reason.  He briefly focused his attention on
       that and figured his escape routes from where he was walking.
       This was something he was trained to do, habitually, since his
       teenage years, after he had acquired many of his powers.
       There was little to fear in Newport for people such as him.
       Most people were psi-open norms, people that had minds that
       psionics could enter into easily and learn their inmost
       thoughts, generally without a hint of detection.  These minds
       could be psionically attacked and represented no danger.  There
       were others, the psi-blanks, those who had been gifted with
       anti-psi minds that a psionic ordinarily could not enter into.
       Attempting to use a psionic attack discipline at or around these
       people would cause that psi-blank mind to project an anti-psi
       damper field some fifty feet or fifteen meters around them.
       These persons, if armed with weapons, or had martial arts
       training, could be very dangerous.  But Mack was prepared to
       deal with these people if the need arose.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Many people, if they know what Mack was, would fear him.  Mack
       was also someone rare among psionics.  He was a Controller.  He
       had the ability to control the minds of the psi-open around him.
       It was a power that Mack had not necessarily wanted, and he
       used it rarely.  Among the Star People, this skill was heavily
       regulated, and he faced an Examen from a Censor every month to
       investigate how he had used this special skill.  Mack never
       wanted to be a Controller.  He had always wanted to be a Healer,
       but, as it is with life, life serves out many differing,
       contrary things.  As it is with many, we all go through life,
       wanting certain things, and are many times frustrated in our
       wants.
       Mack did use his psionics on behalf of various secret American
       governmental agencies as he was sanctioned by the Star People.
       For decades he functioned as a clandestine agent.  His most
       important activity was when he had used his skill as a
       Controller in January, 2017, when he put a mind lock upon the
       newly elected American President, Donald Trump. The immediate
       cause for doing so was because the the American government
       determined that the President was mentally unstable and,
       frankly, pathological, with no real, fundamental loyalty to the
       country.
       Trump was a psi-blank, and given how his mind was resistant to
       psionics, it could only be accessed with a psionic construct
       called an analog module.  And so it was decided, in early 2017
       by the leaders of the AAP, the American Anti-Psi Program, the
       Archon Directorate, that they needed the help of their potential
       adversaries, the Star People, using an analog, to put mental
       controls upon the new President.  This, the AAP decided, was
       needed to prevent any possible disclosure of the existence of
       psionics, a fearful result that could lead to serious social and
       political consequences in human society.  Mack reflected that it
       was, operationally, the most unusual mind lock that he had put
       upon the president.  It was accomplished when he was no longer
       in the humanoid form.  He was in the pod form when it happened.
       He had shape-shifted into the form of a sphere the size of a
       child’s marble.  This was the most radical of psionic abilities
       apart from teleportation.  The Star People were shape-shifters,
       and the pod form was the most radical of those shapes.
       Mack reflected upon the many benefits of the pod form, the
       ability of the Star People to shape shift down from the humanoid
       form into the form of a sphere, usually around 3 inches or 7.6
       centimeters, or even smaller, 1 inch or 2.5 centimeters.  In the
       sphere form, one could sleep or function in an imagined virtual
       reality created by one’s own mind.  The virtual reality was, for
       most psionics, in the form of a small, comfortably furnished
       room with windows and closets.  The virtual reality mode
       permitted the display of the visual area outside of where the
       pod form was located.  It meant for a kind of radical camping
       life-style for psionics.  Mack, many times, had rested for the
       night by putting his pod form down at a secluded favorite beach
       or island along the Pacific or Atlantic coasts, or onto mountain
       ridges secluded from human society.  Mack particularly loved
       various massif sites in the Bob Marshall Wilderness or in
       Glacier Park.  In his teenage years, he had loved Knife Blade
       Ridge and Greathouse Peak in the Snowy Mountains.  These sites
       allowed for some spectacular views of the countryside in that
       virtual reality.  If he was with friends, at the same location,
       and if they were telepathically linked together, they could
       share the same virtual reality and have a convivial time
       together in a shared, common virtual room.
       In that virtual setting, one could recharge one’s psionic powers
       through the background electromagnetic energy that coursed
       through the world.  A psionic could also revert back to the
       humanoid form physically changed or merely dressed differently
       from what he entered into it.  The virtual reality allowed one
       to change one’s appearance in the real world.  Since Mack’s
       entire wardrobe was available to him in the virtual reality he
       frequently changed clothes, and his pocket litter, on coming
       back.  In the pod form, he could also fly.
       It was a wonderful ability, to be able to fly at one’s will.
       When Mack was in his early 20s, he acquired this ability, and,
       if he couldn’t teleport to a certain location since he hadn’t
       been there before, and put the site into his eidetic memory, and
       if he didn’t want to do a telepathic astral projection, he could
       travel there by pod flight.  All psionic pods could fly at a
       certain point in psionic development.  Eventually, everyone in
       the pod form could attain supersonic flight, even spaceflight.
       Like teleportation, it was something that had radically changed
       his life.
       Mack came out of his thoughts as he walked along the boulevard.
       That was five years ago.  He crossed the boulevard and went up
       to a bench next to the shore overlooking the bay.  He was
       grateful for the warmth of the sun and the bracing cool air.  As
       he sat down, he was pleased to watch the harbor seals leaping
       and cavorting in the harbor, feeding on the swarms of fish he
       sensed telepathically.  In the distance, he could also see
       pelicans further out in the bay, also feeding.  He enjoyed the
       fresh, bracing air in the morning quiet.
       The quiet was welcome.  He let the silence come over him and his
       thoughts receded into the background as he enjoyed the vista
       before him.  He watched the seagulls as they passed above and
       before him, occasionally diving into the water, snatching up
       prey, their cries breaking briefly the silence of the moment.
       Mack watched the luminous rills of water, reflecting the bright
       morning light, moved across the bay and seemed kind of hypnotic
       movement that was comforting to his eyes.  There was little
       traffic on the road behind him.
       Flight was a great joy for him, Mack reflected.  It was a
       fascinating moment in his life when he emplaced the mind lock on
       the former president.  Mack rarely used the pod form for flight
       in the busy skies of Earth. Very few of the Star People did so,
       for most were not comfortable with flying on a planetary surface
       that had a lot of aircraft, though the aircraft were of little
       danger to them.  It was no problem for Mack, when he was flying
       at a subsonic speed in that form, when he emplaced the mind lock
       onto Donald Trump, when the newly-elected President was flying
       from Washington DC to his home in Florida.  Mack remembered that
       the President was eating a hamburger at the time.  No one had
       seen the faint disturbance in the air that Mack’s pod form made
       in its flight to Air Force One.
       Mack was pleased how it was accomplished.  The President’s
       plane, Air Force One, was flying south at 35,000 feet.  The
       President was guarded by two Air Force F-15s that were flying
       parallel behind and above the presidential plane by several
       thousand feet.  It was sometimes said that Trump was annoyed
       that his fighter escort didn’t fly alongside Air Force One so
       that he could see them.
       Mack, flying at Mach 3 in stealth mode, encountered the
       Presidential plane and its two escorts above Raleigh, North
       Carolina.  While he was in stealth mode, he was very hard to see
       since his disturbance in the air was minimal.  He was
       undetectable by radar.  If he wasn’t in stealth mode, he would
       have been detected immediately and classed as some kind of
       missile that had come out of nowhere.
       Mack swooped down from 51,000 feet between the two fighters
       flying at 47,000 feet.  Mack then went behind and then
       underneath Air Force One.  He flew up to the front of the bottom
       of the plane where, in his cabin, the President was eating his
       hamburger and fries.  When Group Mind Potomac, as part of the
       Secret Service, dropped its anti-psi damper field, Mack locked
       onto the President’s mind.  When he sensed America’s most
       powerful group mind, Group Mind Potomac following his
       consciousness, Mack entered Trump’s mind and emplaced the mind
       lock, putting in the lucidity feature.  After Group Mind Potomac
       confirmed that the seals to the mind lock were sound and
       unbroken, Mack broke away from the plane formation and abruptly
       teleported to walk again in his favorite haunts around Pike’s
       Market in Seattle.  He was later happy to learn that the mind
       lock was functioning in the manner desired by those in authority
       who wanted it.
       As he sat on the bench, overlooking the bay at Newport, enjoying
       the wind and sea air, Mack wondered if he should go to a quiet
       place behind a building along the boulevard and drop down into
       the pod form to change clothes to be more comfortably dressed
       when he teleported to Florida.  The air would be hot and muggy
       there.  Usually the winds would be warm blowing inland from off
       the Atlantic.  Palm Beach was usually a comfortable place, being
       an island, and, of course, Mar a Lago itself would be
       comfortably air-conditioned.
       He had been to Mar a Lago a number of times before, and it was
       annoying to coming near to Trump again, even if he was needed to
       remove the lucidity template of Trump’s mind lock.  Why not
       leave the template in place?  The lucidity template enabled
       Trump to think more clearly only when Mack was in his presence.
       And Mack’s coming into Trump’s presence was very rare.
       The lucidity template created a biostasis that protected Trump’s
       brain biologically in that it slowed the rate of his mental
       deterioration.  But Trump’s mind was deteriorating anyway.  If
       Mack stayed away, Trump’s mind would continue to deteriorate.
       Perhaps the Archon Directorate wanted Trump to mentally decline
       faster.  Removing the template’s biostasis could certainly cause
       a more rapid deterioration.  Perhaps that’s what the Archons
       actually wanted.  If this was so, Mack wondered if this was
       advisable.
       Mack had to wonder, should the mind lock have ever happened?  It
       would not have happened unless the Archon Directorate had been
       so demanding for it.  Given the precarious nature of having
       America, a planetary superpower, led by an unstable, inadequate
       man, and other, calculating, unscrupulous men, the Star People
       ultimately decided that the American Anti-Psi Program had to be
       supported in this.  And so it came to be that the President’s
       mind, along with the others, had to be locked down for global
       anti-psionic security.
       Ordinarily, psionics would be unable to enter the mind of a
       psi-blank, but Mack was given permission to use a military grade
       Prefect analog module, something usually used off-planet, to
       augment his own psionic abilities.  This enabled him to
       overpower Trump’s anti-psi defenses, even the advanced anti-psi
       damper fields that the AAP could employ to defend the United
       States.  Mack felt that the whole situation was strange, very
       strange.  Potential adversaries were helping each other keep
       secret the existence of psionics from the rest of human society.
       No doubt, it had been quietly argued among the Archons of the
       AAP, the nature and intensity of the mind lock, and the level of
       control that was desirable.
       There were actually two forms of intensity in mind control; they
       were called, respectively, heavy and light.  Heavy mind control
       involves the heavy-handed control over a person’s mind, usually
       calling for the person controlled, into doing things that
       violated the controlled persons goals and values.  These
       compulsions could involve extreme things such as murder, theft,
       suicide, et cetera.  Given that the mind control command matrix
       for these compulsions are put into a person’s subconscious,
       these strong compulsions, if they exist for a long time, can
       cause a mental disintegration for the person so affected.  The
       compulsions, futilely warred against, shut out the ability of a
       person to live normally.  Heavy mind control, though, does not
       permit a long life.  Light mind control is different, which
       involves minor compulsions, not involving personal values dear
       to the person affected.  These compulsions cause little harm to
       the affected, controlled person.  This is the form of mental
       control or mind lock that was decided upon for Trump.  Trump
       would have a mind lock that would allow minimal light mind
       control but would achieve the desired result for American
       security.  Mack wondered what he would have done if the Archon
       Directorate had demanded a heavy mind control of some type that
       meant the rapid mental destruction of the President.
       Mack reflected how much his psionic gifts had changed him, some
       for the good and some bad.  Sometimes his psionic gifts were a
       cause of a certain alienation from human existence.  It had
       helped him to live after a dark, bitter childhood.  He had
       suffered child abuse from his father.  That was how it was with
       much of human experience. There is the good and the bad, the
       distance and relation between beings and things.  We are never
       immediately connected to what is around us.  How do we make the
       things that exist in our lives, fit as they ought?
       How do things fit?  Mack wondered.  This was that anguish on how
       normals fare in their experience of war.  Mack had experienced
       war in Vietnam during the Tet Offensive, and so he came to that
       pain as well.  Soldiers, upon deployment, see many strange sites
       and alien societies that cause great wonder.  Then there are the
       wonder of modern weapons and their destructiveness.  Then there
       are the horrors of war.  One finds out that one may be imbued
       with power, even great power, but one still finds oneself very
       small in the immensity of the universe.
       He sat in silence and thought of the people that he had known
       over the years and how that most of them were now dead.  He
       thought of the faces of the young girls and the women.  He
       thought of the faces of the murderers he helped to arrest, or
       even to kill.  There had been a lot of joy and pain in this
       world.  That was the way it was with psionics, even those many
       that were now off-planet, small in the immensity of the
       universe.  Even in an interstellar civilization, everyone is
       part and parcel of the rest of humanity.  Life is a great
       mystery.
       Mack sat in the sun and silence.  He let the silence deepen
       around him, enjoying the cold wind and warm sun until it was to
       go to Mar a Lago and beyond.
       When the time came, Mack looked down at his hooded, lined
       windbreaker.  He decided that before he’d go, he would need to
       change.  He would remove and put his jacket into karg storage.
       He got up and walked back across the boulevard and went into an
       area behind one of the shops where he was hidden from view.  He
       then focused on the teleport site in West Palm Beach, Florida.
       As it mentally came into focus, his chosen site was an underpass
       of Interstate 95, on Mercer Avenue.  He sensed that the
       temperature there was in the upper 70s.  The air was moderate
       and a light breeze was blowing.  Mack focused more deeply and
       was soon able to mentally peer out from the teleport site, which
       was next to a concrete column which would visually conceal his
       teleport arrival.  Telepathically, he looked up the length of
       concrete columns one way; and then down the other.  He didn’t
       see anyone.  The underpass was empty of people.
       Now he decided upon doing a limited passive telepathic scan, to
       a quarter of a mile or around 400 meters from his chosen
       teleportal site in West Palm Beach.  He faintly sensed the faint
       outline of the buildings that extended out from his site in the
       underpass.  He sensed the brain pulses of the people that were
       in the area.  He then sensed the radio traffic.  He listened in
       on the usual police chatter that didn’t involve Mercer Avenue.
       A fire department was more interesting.  Briefly, Mack listened
       to radio chatter involving an emergency situation concerning a
       fire to the east of the site in West Palm Beach.  He focused
       again on the brain pulses of the people within the scan area.
       He sensed nothing unusual.  Most likely, the people he was to
       meet, the Secret Service, would have their agents immediately
       outside his scan area at the agreed rendezvous site, which was
       close to a mile away towards the east.  They would possibly be
       able to sense him when he arrived by teleportation.  That, of
       course, was part of the plan.
       His presence would be detected fairly soon after his arrival.
       The Secret Service cowls knew the sound of his brain pulse.
       They would be powerful. One of their number would be linked to
       Group Mind Potomac which was located back in Washington DC.
       This group mind could have, possibly, as much as thirty minds
       linked together, making it the most powerful group mind
       controlled by the AAP in the United States.
       Mack decided to proceed.  He took off his windbreaker and gave
       another long look at Newport and the distant harbor.  Would he
       ever return here?  He draped it over his left arm and teleported
       the windbreaker into one of his kargs, or personal
       paradimensional storage bays.  With his hands and arms free, for
       a moment he felt the cold air of Newport harbor and then,
       smiling, he teleported.

       Re: The Last Farewell At Mar a Lago
       By: HOLLAND Date: March 12, 2023, 11:15 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Having arrived at West Palm Beach, Mack found himself standing
       in the shade next to a column under the underpass beneath the
       very busy Interstate U.S. Highway 95, next to Mercer Avenue,
       which went through the underpass below that busy Interstate.
       Not unexpectedly, the hot and humid air, pungent with the odor
       of automobiles and tropical vegetation hit him immediately, very
       different from the clear, crisp, clean cold ocean air of
       Newport, Oregon.  Mack had expected this.  He had been here
       before, recalling having used this teleport site several times
       before, coming to Florida.  He had found and mentally saved this
       site when he was looking for teleport locations during an astral
       projection in the 1980s.
       Mack didn’t immediately sense the light, cool telepathic touch
       of a mentalist passively scanning his area.  He had expected it
       since he was within five miles of Trump’s Mar a Lago.  This
       meant that he had arrived undetected.  He departed his ingress
       point next to the column and walked northeast, walking along the
       railroad tracks and to one of the Stub Canals until he came to
       Boyd Street.  Crossing the railroad tracks, he walked along the
       canal and crossed the remains of the old Boyd Street Bridge, now
       covered with grass, and now closed to everything except
       pedestrian traffic.  He was momentarily struck by the fetid odor
       of the canal.  Going onto Charles Street, he headed east,
       walking briskly, passing a small church, observing many of the
       people in this residential area out tending gardens and lawns,
       something that had to be done year-round in Florida. At this
       point he withdrew his surface thoughts behind a screen or façade
       of fabricated surface thoughts meant to deceive any telepath who
       should happen to start listening to his thoughts.  The thoughts
       were that of an old man out on a late morning walk, and his many
       pleasures fishing for catfish in northern Florida.  They were
       meant to be boring and to cause a telepath to quickly lose
       interest in him.  It’s worked many times before, thought Mack.
       As he came to Parker Avenue, he heading south, reducing his
       walking pace as he approached the rendezvous site.  After
       several minutes, after reaching Upland Road, he sensed the faint
       touch of another telepathic mind.  He was now being scanned.
       The telepath wasn’t too far away.  The source of the telepathy
       was at the agreed rendezvous site, a parking lot three blocks
       away on Belvedere Avenue.  Soon another mind came into contact
       with his mind.  Behind this mind, Mack sensed other minds, the
       American government’s most feared group mind, Group Mind
       Potomac.  This had to be Deputy U.S. Marshal Devin, whom Mack
       was advised, was serving as the actuary of Group Mind Potomac,
       whose members were in Washington D.C.  The group mind listened
       briefly to Mack’s thought façade and Mack sensed a fleeting
       mistrust of the façade.  If Mack was a fugitive from their
       custody, this mistrust would indicate that it was time for Mack
       to soon deploy a smoke canister and teleport away to safety
       before a psi-damper field would be deployed around him.  But
       since he was expected at the rendezvous, he continued walking.
       The government minds remained trained on him, listening to the
       fabricated old man’s memories of fishing catfish, and of the
       meals he’s had, the Cajun seasonings, then other images of
       memories of the women the old man knew, thoughts of their
       nakedness and spirit of independence.  Mack was quite proud of
       this façade.  He had spent several hours preparing it, as he had
       with several dozen other facades, a skill needed for psionics to
       survive in more hostile areas.  Soon Mack could see several men
       standing on the sidewalk at Belvedere Avenue.  One of them was
       watching him with a pair of binoculars.  Mack, at this point,
       dropped the façade but kept his thoughts shielded behind a white
       noise screen usually the sound heard by psionics when the
       focused on psi-blanks and other persons with various mental
       conditions.  One of the meeting conditions that Mack was
       permitted was to keep his mind shielded, until needed, while he
       was in the presence of cowls, government mentalists.  Since
       everyone was now in line of sight, they’d be able to keep their
       telepathy covert, tunneling the telepathy in a specific
       direction, in a line of sight orientation.
       Hello, Mack. I advise site condition is Code Green.  It was
       Devin and his telepathy was crisp and clear.  The code indicated
       that the group mind had scanned the site for several hours and
       had not detected any mentalist activity in the area by freehold
       mentalists, those capable of telepathy but who hadn’t been
       drafted into government service.  Some of them could be lurking
       around the wealthy of Palm Beach and West Palm Beach areas.
       Mack could also sense the confidence and the pleasure behind the
       group mind.  Mack was also aware of something else.  The cowls
       had a definite power advantage over him, something which was
       usually the other way around.
       U.S. Marshal James Devin, a man greatly respected by Mack, was a
       typical, athletic mentalist, 5’9”, in his 30s, light yellow polo
       shirt, brown pants, light gray windbreaker.  He’d been in the
       USMS for seven years, working very quietly in the AAP.  He will
       be the cowl to monitor Mack in entering Trump’s mind.  He would
       also be the actuary of Group Mind Potomac, America’s largest and
       most powerful group mind which was back in Washington D.C.  Mack
       knew that Devin respected and trusted him, but since Mack, a
       full psionic, soon to be able to be rated for interstellar
       service, Devin would be wary of Mack’s power.
       As he came closer into view, more within line of sight telepathy
       which cannot be overheard by other telepaths, Mack responded,
       Hello, Devin.  Hello, Group Mind Potomac. After a few minutes
       and brisk walking, Mack finally arrived at Belvedere Avenue and
       approached the men at the parking lot.  At this point telepathic
       silence would be maintained.
       In front of him, was Marshal James Devin.  He could see that
       James was little changed in the last three years.  James had
       dark hair, broad shoulders, and a no-nonsense look about him.
       Mack could sense behind the screened mind of James the patina of
       a multiplicity of other minds.  He sensed the sheer power of
       that group mind.  Next to him was a tall, thin man, gray haired
       man, Michael Collins, the Secret Service supervisor, an aprator,
       a man who could mentally suppress psionic activity to a distance
       of 150 meters around him.  Mack had met Michael before.  The
       third man, supposedly a Secret Service man, named Brooks, was
       also a cowl.  Mack suspected that he was not mentally linked
       into Group Mind Potomac.  This, no doubt, was because he was to
       serve as an observer to what Mack and Group Mind Potomac were
       going to do at Mar a Lago.
       He looked again at the leader of this team, Michael Collins,
       tall, at 6’2”, in his 50s, thin, but not as wiry as Devin,
       wearing a light gray summer suit with matching lighter  gray
       tie.  He’s been in the Secret Service, Presidential Detail, for
       almost 20 years  He had served under Presidents George W. Bush,
       Barack Obama, and lastly, under Donald Trump.  That he had
       survived continuous employment under Trump was a wonder, given
       that Trump had done his best to undermine the integrity and
       inner security of the Secret Service.  Collins was a man who did
       not suffer fools gladly, a man who would not to mince his words.
       No doubt he had crossed Trump over the years and gotten away
       with it.  Collins said what he thought, to anyone if it was a
       matter he felt the matter important.  He considered Trump’s
       character and actions disgraceful, debasing both to himself and
       his office.  It was remarkable that Trump hadn’t fired him.
       Agent Sam Brooks, who stood next to the Secret Service car, was
       another mentalist, skilled in telepathy, was a man that Mack
       knew slightly.  He was a bald-headed man, stockier, supposedly
       hardened by martial arts.  He was in his thirties.  In his face
       and manner he looked like a hard man.  He would monitor Mack and
       Group Mind Potomac as they entered the former President’s mind.
       After shaking hands with these men, they went to the Secret
       Service car for the trip to Mar a Lago.  After they got in,
       Collins reviewed the ground rules to the visit to Mar a Lago.
       These rules were to be followed without exception.  Collins
       empathized the obvious, “We’re under the strictest security.
       Our car has been swept by electronic and telepathic means.  From
       this point on, your cell phone should be turned off.”
       “I don’t have one,” said Mack. He did have a burn phone in a
       karg in his personal paradimensional storage.  It was not
       accessible in this universe.
       Collins continued.  “While at Mar a Lago, we’re not to say
       anything that will reveal anything about the AAP.  In future
       years, our conversations on video will be lip read by
       historians.”
       Mack nodded at that.  All of the men knew that this was already
       occurring with historical films and video.  The men lapsed into
       silence as Agent Brooks started the car and soon had it going
       towards Mar a Lago.
       Mack reflected on the pretextual basis of their presence at Mar
       a Lago, which involved an incident when Mack was physically
       assaulted at Mar a Lago by Trump’s bodyguard, Milo Doubek, in
       2018.  The plan was very simple.  After their arrival, they
       would walk down the same sidewalk where Mack was assaulted by
       Milo Doubek.  At that point, Mack would be asked some questions
       concerning that assault.  In his briefing at the Prefecture of
       the Star People, he was warned that they could possibly be
       observed by the former President from the windows of his office.
       It could be possible that Trump may want to directly see Mack
       again, though Mack has caused the former President aggravation,
       and had no desire to see him.  This was not operationally
       necessary or to be sought.  Their operational task was to remain
       distant and complete it, a quick in and out.
       After the brief questioning under Trump’s window, they would
       enter Mar a Lago itself and transit the building to enter onto
       the courtyard plaza that overlooked the swimming pool between
       the buildings to the north.  At that place, at one of the
       tables, the men would sit and have a drink.  Mack and Group Mind
       Potomac through Devin, would psionically invade Trump’s mind and
       removed the lucidity template of the mind lock.  Mack would
       cavitate through the psi-damper screen which surrounded much of
       Mar a Lago, with Group Mind Potomac following, monitoring
       everything that he would do.  When the penetration of Trump’s
       mind had been completed, and the lucidity feature from Trump’s
       mind had been removed, the AAP would then drop the psi-damper
       screen.  The psi-damper screen would remain up during the
       penetration of Trump’s mind to preserve clandestinity.  If there
       was a stray non-governmental mentalist somewhere close in West
       Palm Beach, or in Palm Beach itself, the team would remain
       undetected in their telepathic activity towards the President.
       After this, the team would depart Mar a Lago.  The Secret
       Service would reduce its anti-psi contingent.  All psi-damper
       screens around the former president would be withdrawn and Trump
       would, unknowingly, be left defended only by the natural
       anti-psi defense that is inherent in his own mind.  After that,
       Mack would have a luncheon with the team at a restaurant in West
       Palm Beach before his teleportive egression.
       The men remained silent for the remainder of their trip to Mar a
       Lago.  Mack wondered how Trump was coping with the seizure of
       all the government documents he had stolen when he had left
       office.  From what he’d heard on the news, over a hundred of the
       documents were highly classified.  He wondered how many were
       copied and sold, and now in the hands of the Russians or other
       countries.  Mar a Lago was a security nightmare.  Trump cared
       little about security other than immediately about his person.
       Mack psionically listened in on the police and emergency bands
       and the occasional phone calls coming from wealthy persons in
       large limousines that occasionally passed by.  The conversations
       were desultory, nothing of interest, except for the young woman
       in the convertible after they had crossed Bingham Island.  She
       was highly creative and artful in her love talk to a friend in
       West Palm Beach.
       Soon Mar a Lago, the creation of socialite Marjorie Merriweather
       Post, came into view, and it was as grand as Mack remembered it.
       From the car, the men could see the white walls and the
       distinctive tan clay roof tiles for which it is well known.  Its
       adapted Hispano-Moresque style was, to Mack’s knowledge, unique
       in its scale in Palm Beach.  The rare Doria stone from Genoa,
       used for its white wall facing was noteworthy.  The
       Mediterranean-style villa had a two story family structure,
       whose first floor, Mack and the security men knew from prior
       experience.  The ocean façade of the house was largely
       rectangular and Mack was familiar with that as well.  He and his
       friend, Preston Callendar several decades ago, had also walked
       along its west side, along the crescent shaped line of cloisters
       that faced towards Lake Worth.  He, Preston and his wife were a
       lot younger back then.
       When the Secret Service car passed the security checkpoint at
       Mar a Lago, they parked very close to where they had parked when
       Mack was brought to the mansion back in 2018.  As they walked up
       the sidewalk, Collins asked Mack the usual questions about
       Doubek and the assault that Mack had suffered in front of the
       windows of Trump’s office.  Mack answered the questions, and
       emphasized how he avoided striking Doubek prior to grappling him
       and throwing him to the ground.  None of the men looked towards
       Trump’s office windows.
       When the agreed questions were answered, the men entered the Mar
       a Lago mansion by the private entrance at the end of the
       sidewalk.  Passing down a corridor, whose ceiling was graced
       with scrolled motifs of gold, they came upon an ornate, gilded
       room, and going through several large tall mahogany double
       doors, they proceeded down another corridor and exited the
       building again into a delightful shaded, tree-lined plaza that
       overlooking the fountain and the swimming pool to the west.
       There were various tables, some of which were occupied by Club
       members and the usual people seeking patronage from Mr. Trump.
       As they sat down at one of the tables, Mack could see from the
       clientele that Trump was still working the public for money and
       influence.  It was obvious that some of the people were not club
       members but outsiders seeking favors from the former president.
       At this point the men heard a plane flying overhead as it was
       going for a landing at the airport in West Palm Beach.  No doubt
       the overflights were annoying Trump who had forbidden them
       during his Presidency.
       As they enjoyed the beauty of the plaza, Mack reflected that
       Trump, and some 30 officials of his Administration, had to be
       put under a mind lock, which prevented them disclosing the fact
       that psionics were present in human society, a security breach
       that loomed largely in the minds of the leaders of the AAP.
       This concern of the AAP was atypical.  Who could imagine until
       Trump that a President and his Administration couldn’t be
       trusted with national secrets of the highest order?  It was a
       great pity.
       The mind lock worked very simply.  It was meant to prevent the
       person controlled from having any interest or make any inquiry
       regarding psionics in general and the AAP in particular.  During
       the four years of his Administration, the mind locks on Trump
       and on his officials worked as they were supposed to.  There was
       no security breach of the AAP by the Administration.
       The mind lock did not confer, ordinarily any benefit for the
       person’s mind that had been so locked.  That meant that Trump,
       cunning in many ways but intellectually lazy, remained
       vulnerable to his chronic poor judgement, and his other, unhappy
       mental deficiencies.  But mental control presupposed a certain
       mental clarity. Trump had to be communicated with and his mind
       needed to be lucid during select personal interactions.  In this
       case, a lucidity feature had to be built into the mind lock so
       that Trump could be mentally clearer in the presence of Mack.
       This feature enhanced Trump’s mind, particularly the frontal
       lobes and hippocampi in his brain.  This would increase his
       ability to reason and remember, in effect returning Trump’s mind
       to what it had been like in the late 1970s and early 1980s.  It
       had worked fairly well during the time of the Trump
       Administration.  But now that Administration was voted out of
       office, the utility of the mind lock had diminished.
       Most likely, Trump was getting some minor headaches because of
       his mind lock.  Trump had a lot of headaches for other reasons,
       the legacy of a lifetime of bad conduct.   Also, because of his
       poor health, brought about by his age, his bad diet, and a lack
       of healthful exercise, the former President was suffering from a
       gradual, perceptible increase of dementia. At a certain point,
       the President lucidity would eventually, be fatefully
       compromised, in which even his native cunning would not help him
       escape.
       Mack, and the others, sat quietly and enjoyed the shade of the
       trees around the plaza.  Following their operational brief, they
       remained silent or made minimal conversation.  Mack watched the
       birds flitting through the trees and shrubs around the
       courtyard, cardinals, buntings, and yellowthroats.  He listened
       to their calls and the color of them as they flitted through the
       branches.
       Soon the men were greeted by a white coated steward who asked if
       they were there to see the President.  Mack replied according to
       the operational brief, “Maybe.  I’m here to see Mr. Trump if I
       can.  I don’t have an appointment.”  The steward frowned at
       this, because casual visitors to Mar a Lago were highly unlikely
       to see the former President.  He also knew that the other men
       were Secret Service agents and were forbidden the use of club
       facilities.
       “I’m a former acquaintance of Mr. Trump, and these men were
       interviewing me,” said Mack apologetically.  “I am having these
       men here as my guests.”
       The steward face lightened up at that and took the men’s order
       of drinks, whiskey and water for Mack, vodka and ginger ale for
       Devin, and a small glass of cognac for Collins. Brooks, the
       designated driver, ordered a coke.
       The men were then approached by a man whom they all recognized
       as a former Presidential aide named Grover Hardisty.  Apparently
       a watcher had singled them out.  “Do you men have an appointment
       to see the President?” the aide asked.  In Mar a Lago, Trump was
       still considered the President of the United States.
       Mack answered according to the operational brief.  “I don’t have
       an appointment,” he said, “but I’d like to see him.  I’ve known
       him for many years.”  Per the briefing, it was deemed likely
       that Trump would not want to see him.  Mack had caused him
       aggravation.
       Hardisty frowned at Mack’s request.  No doubt that he’s heard
       many claims of friendship or acquaintance with Trump from many
       callers over the years.  He asked for Mack’s name, and wrote it
       down on a notepad.  He said he would check with the President,
       but he said that it was doubtful that Trump would see him. Mack
       said that he understood that.
       As the aide departed the white-coated steward returned with the
       ordered drinks and Mack watched as Devin payed the tab.  This
       expense, Mack noted, would come out of the operational funds
       that were hidden within the USMS.
       As Collins gave the signal, making a closed fist of his right
       hand and opening it, Mack and Devin proceeded with the
       telepathic entry into Trump’s mind.

       Re: The Last Farewell At Mar a Lago
       By: HOLLAND Date: March 12, 2023, 11:17 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       He watched as Devin took out his cell phone and set it on the
       table in front of them.  With Mack and Collins silently watching
       Devin set the timer function.  According to the brief, Devin
       lightly tapped his finger once to the table indicating he was
       ready.  Devin looked at another Secret Service agent that was
       standing at the edge of the courtyard and nodded.  That man
       nodded as well. Mack sensed that he was the man in charge of the
       psi-damper field surrounding most of Mar a Lago.
       Mack closed his eyes and began the cavitation of the anti-psi
       damper field around them all.  As he shielded his own mind, he
       could sense the emotional excitement of Devin and Group Mind
       Potomac.  At that moment, Mack sensed Devin’s movement starting
       the stop watch on his phone and the closing of his eyes.  As
       their minds touched, Mack sensed briefly the many minds of
       others, thousands of miles away inside and outside Washington
       DC.  At that point, Mack, Devin and the Group Mind began their
       cautionary mental shielding, something that would give
       themselves privacy, and would aid in the penetration of Trump’s
       mind.
       As the cavitation got larger, Mack focused his mind outward,
       sensing fleetingly the courtyard with its trees, its people, and
       the birds that flitted among the branches of the trees.  He
       sensed Devin’s mind closely joining him, monitoring him.  And
       behind Devin’s mind, Mack again briefly, through the shielding,
       the other minds, of Group Mind Potomac.  Then that perception
       was gone, now safe behind the shielding.
       Mack focused to the buildings south from where he was sitting.
       As he cavitated through the psi-damper field, he sensed the
       faint outline of walls and corridors, towards that part of Mar a
       Lago where the Trump family lived.  He telepathically reached
       further into the building.  He sensed a number of other minds
       and the faint outlines of their bodies as they walked down
       various corridors.  Soon Mack was telepathically at the office
       where Trump would be located.  He could sense the faint outlines
       of the office’s furniture, chairs, desk, wall paintings,
       carpeting and windows. As he cavitated more deeply into the
       psi-damper field into Trump’s office, he heard Trump’s
       distinctive brain pulse sounding at the end of the room.
       Mack focused more deeply.  He and Devin soon sensed the bodily
       telemetry of Trump.  The telemetry indicated that Trump was
       sitting at his desk, that he was hunched over the desk with his
       head in his hands.  When Mack, Devin, and Group Mind Potomac
       reached Trump’s mind, the men felt the cascade of Trump’s rage
       and grief wash over them.  As Mack focused more intently on the
       former President’s mind, they soon heard the stream of thoughts
       running through Trump’s mind.  They were thoughts and anger
       about the last election.  Then Mack began telepathic
       visualizations of Trump’s brain in the electromagnetic sphere.
       It began as a faint visualization but soon became more distinct.
       They first saw a dull, gray shimmering sheet of light
       surrounding Trump’s brain, the telepathic shield that was part
       of the mind lock and was designed to prevent further psionic
       tampering of Trump’s brain.  As Mack focused on the shielding at
       the front of Trump’s brain, several telepathic glyphs, called
       seals, appeared in the visualization, seemingly attached to that
       shimmering light.  Each seal, notated in the Blackfoot language
       was dated January 2017, and was brighter than the dull gray
       light surrounding Trump’s brain.  These seals were the outer
       telepathic lock and access point to Trump’s brain and enabled
       telepathic minds and group minds the ability to confirm that
       these locks remained active with its seals unbroken.   They also
       permitted diagnostics of Trump’s brain.
       Mack telepathically opened his specified portion of the
       telepathic seal that granted him entry.  After that, Devin and
       Group Mind Potomac opened their side of the telepathic seal
       granting them entry.  Then Mack and the telepaths entered
       Trump’s brain area.  Behind that light, they saw through the
       telepathic visualization the darker outward structure of Trump’s
       brain and heard the sound of Trump’s distinctive brain pulse as
       Trump’s neural pattern was synapsing.
       Underneath the outer structure of Trump’s brain, the men could
       see the neural pattern that went through Trump’s brain.  This
       visualization, as part of the mind lock, was represented as thin
       filaments of light that followed the neurons throughout Trump’s
       brain.  It was a thick web of telepathic light.  Mack and Group
       Mind Potomac circumnavigated the surface structure of Trump’s
       brain before probing into that web of light.   Outwardly, the
       brain appeared normal for a man of Trump’s age and health.  For
       elderly men, such as Trump, there would be the usual
       disturbances of the brain caused by age, ill-health, or
       injuries.  These disturbances would cause changes in a brain’s
       neural pattern.
       Mack focused more deeply and took the scan under the surface
       structures of Trumps brain, passing folds of neural tissue and
       complex patterns of arteries, veins and nerves and briefly
       inspected how the filaments of telepathic light coursed through
       Trump’s tissue.  Then they came to the center of Trump’s brain,
       to the former President’s pair of hippocampi and amygdala found
       on both hemispheres of his brain.  Mack focused his scan on the
       volume and activity of these organs.  It was what he had
       expected.  Trump’s hippocampi were smaller, and his amygdalae
       were larger than normal.  The hippocampi, shaped as sea horses,
       were involved primarily with declarative or short term memory.
       Trump was notorious about his problems involving memory, both
       short-term and long term.  The amygdalae, which rested at the
       end of the hippocampi, were involved with inputting and
       processing emotion.  That they were larger than normal was also
       a physical sign of Trump’s past life.  Trump had suffered
       serious child abuse.  When he was young, he had lived in fear.
       The emotional neglect and abuse he suffered from his
       narcissistic parents had caused him unutterable grief.
       Mack focused on the neural structure.  The telepathic
       visualization indicated a dull color of red appearing in the
       neural structure.  This color coding related to the mind lock
       that Mack had placed on Trump in 2017, a mind lock that
       inhibited Trump from investigating the American Anti-Psi Program
       or AAP.  Mack left this feature of the mind lock untouched.
       Mack focused more deeply.  A duller, darker red color coding
       along the neural structure appeared.  This was located primarily
       at the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.  This had to do
       with the lucidity feature of the mind lock.  The telepaths could
       see that these telepathic threads of light extended from the
       cortex down to the hippocampi in both hemispheres and into the
       other areas of Trump’s brain.  Mack hesitated briefly about
       shutting down this part of mind lock.  The mind lock had
       augmented and improved the lucidity of Trump’s brain, enabling
       more effective human interaction with others but only when Mack
       was in present.  Mack wondered for a moment, if, perhaps,
       Trump’s brain could be improved.  At this moment, Mack regretted
       briefly that he was a Controller, and not a Healer.  Mack
       abruptly dropped the mental command prompts in Trump’s brain for
       the lucidity.  The duller, darker red telepathic threads of
       light faded away.  Trump was now still under the mind lock, but
       the help for his lucidity contained in the template in the mind
       lock was now gone.  Group Mind Potomac then gave telepathic
       queries to the telepathic command matrix of the mind lock to
       confirm the change in the command list and the removal of the
       lucidity feature.
       Mack focused more intentionally on the neural structure.  He
       watched as that structure of Trump’s brain seemed to deteriorate
       before his telepathic gaze.  The lucidity feature of the mind
       lock had its biological advantages.  It was a form of biostasis,
       a telekinetic augmentation to the brain that prevented
       biological aging and deterioration to all parts where the
       biostasis reached. Mack watched as the biological functioning of
       the neural pattern in many areas faded.  In some areas, it even
       disappeared.  Mack thought, Trump’s going to have more problems
       in thinking and memory.  His conduct would become even more
       irrational and antisocial.
       Mack withdrew from the visualization of Trump’s brain and
       briefly focused onto Trump’s consciousness, his surface
       thoughts, sensing the anger and despair in the stream of
       thoughts.  After that, Mack, Devin, and Group Mind Potomac
       plunged more deeply into Trump’s mind.  They briefly listened to
       Trump’s subconscious thoughts, filled with turmoil of thoughts
       of anger, grief and revenge.  After that they delved briefly
       into Trump’s morphic memories.  They went quickly through that
       jumble of memories where Trump had imagined his past, his
       grandiose depictions of himself and how he related to others.
       The telepaths marveled at how many of these memories seethed of
       anger and grievance.  To no surprise to Mack and to Group Mind
       Potomac, they discovered Trump had unconsciously morphed many of
       his unsavory, well-known historical acts into memories where he
       glorified himself or considered himself to be the undeserved
       victim of others.  Probing deeper into Trump’s mind, they came
       to Trump’s eidetic memories. The telepaths discovered that Trump
       had few of them.  Most of these forgotten memories shaped Trump
       into the man he was.  They were vivid, painful memories of his
       childhood trauma.  The anger and fear of these memories were
       almost overpowering.  As with most people, Trump had no access
       to eidetic memories.
       Mack hesitated briefly, and Devin and Group Mind Potomac waited.
       Below these memories was Trump’s collective unconscious.
       Looking at this part of Trump’s unconsciousness was part of
       their brief, but it did involve danger.  The collective
       unconscious was the place where the monsters dwelt, a place in
       the mind, which, when it erupts into consciousness, destroys
       individuals, societies, and peoples. Mack, and then Group Mind
       Potomac, plunged into this forbidding region.  In their
       visualization, they found themselves standing on a flat surface
       in utter darkness.  Mack immediately recognized it as the abyss
       spoken about in Jewish, Christian, Muslim, and Buddhist
       religious literature.  They sensed that they were being watched
       by reptilian, man-eating creatures in the darkness.  Then the
       telepaths began to see terrifying images of the demonic that has
       existed for centuries throughout human history.  They couldn’t
       see any beings of light, nothing countering the darkness that
       surrounded Trump.  In a sense, the telepaths concluded, that
       Trump has always been possessed by the demonic.
       Mack, Devin, and Group Mind Potomac came out of that depth of
       Trump’s mind, returning to the outer visualization of Trump’s
       brain.  They paused for a moment and enjoyed a collective sigh
       of telepathic relief.  It was too bad, thought Mack, that Trump
       was influenced by the demonic and shunned connection to the
       divine.  He allowed this unshielded thought to go to Group Mind
       Potomac.  He sensed an agreement coming from the group mind.
       Mack and Group Mind Potomac came out of the remaining layers of
       visualizations until they were at the surface visualization of
       Trump’s brain.   The telepaths then moved to the outside of the
       mind lock’s protective telepathic shielding of light and power
       that enwrapped Trump’s brain.  Mack then closed his portion of
       the telepathic screen.  His telepathic act also created a glyph
       in Blackfoot on the screen that annotated a new date of October
       2022.  Devin and Group Mind Potomac then closed their side of
       the telepathic shield which created their telepathic glyph and
       dated it.  At this point the updating of Trump’s mind lock was
       now completed and the shielding was secured.
       Mack and Devin came out of their mind scan.  Devin looked at the
       stop watch on his smart phone and stopped it.  Devin smiled and
       showed it to Mack.  They had been in and out of Trump’s mind in
       only 9 seconds, a quiet demonstration of the enormous power of
       psionics and group minds.
       “We’re done here,” said Devin softly.  Collins nodded.
       The men sipped on their drinks and Mack listened quietly as
       Devin and Collins spoke of the community events occurring in
       Palm Beach and West Palm Beach.  Mack found the time enjoyable.
       The heat and shade of Palm Beach now felt good to him, far
       different from the cold of Newport, Oregon, but he missed the
       autumnal weather to be found in Oregon.  He would miss the
       brisk, bracing sea air.  It was too bad that he wouldn’t be
       returning to Newport.
       As the men finished their drinks, Collins quietly said that it
       was time to go.  Mack nodded in agreement.  The men silently got
       up and left the plaza passing through the building to get to the
       parking lot and their car on the south side of Mar a Lago.  They
       went down the ornate corridors quickly and exited the building
       at Trump’s main entrance.  Walking down the sidewalk towards the
       parking lot, Mack heard the hurried footsteps of a man coming
       from behind them.  Turning, Mack, and the other men, could see
       Trump’s aide, Hardisty approaching them.
       “The President will see you now, Mr. Stemple.” the aide said.
       Mack looked at Collins, who nodded his assent, his face
       disliking the idea but permitting Mack to see the former
       President.  The meeting would have some value.  It would be
       something interesting to see.  Trump would be less lucid
       compared to his other meetings.  Despite this, Mack realized
       that it was highly unlikely that anybody in higher authority
       wanted Mack and Trump to ever meet again.
       With Brooks remaining by the car, Mack, Devin and Collins
       followed Hardisty inside and through the ornate doors that led
       into that part of Mar a Lago where Trump kept as his personal
       residence.  Mack noted the same richly appointed corridor that
       he had went down previously in July 2018.  It had been unchanged
       in the last four years.  Passing several Secret Service agents
       guarding Trump’s large office door, Mack entered Trump’s office.
       He sensed that Collins, Devin and several other Secret Service
       men remaining behind, outside the office, at the corridor
       doorway, discreetly watching him.

       Re: The Last Farewell At Mar a Lago
       By: HOLLAND Date: March 12, 2023, 11:20 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Entering Trump’s office, he found the ex-President sitting at
       his desk next to the window.  Usually quite careful in his
       appearance, Trump was disheveled, his face haggard, his eyes
       tired and swollen.  He did not immediately acknowledge Mack’s
       presence.  He did not even look at Mack.  Instead of greeting
       him, he reclined back in his chair and closed his eyes.
       Had he been crying or raging?  Mack watched as Trump remained
       reclined in his chair with his eyes closed.  The aide, Hardisty,
       quietly announced Mack’s presence.  Trump then opened his eyes
       and scrutinized Mack.  Mack sensed in those eyes an abyss of
       pain and of anger. Mack silently watched Hardesty leave to go to
       a side door where several he and other aides stood and watched.
       He observed that several of those aides had open notebooks and
       were taking notes.
       Trump didn’t say anything to him and so Mack looked over the
       room.  He had been here before.  This office, where Trump did
       his business, was different from another, more grandiose office,
       where Trump ordinarily greeted his influential visitors.  Mack
       had never been to that office.  He wasn’t important enough.
       This office, shaded from the morning sun, was a kind of refuge
       for Trump, and a place to meet other, lesser known persons.  It
       was a good office, as offices tend to go.  It had the usual
       large portrait of Donald Trump on one office wall.
       Interestingly, on another wall, a large wall plaque with the
       seal of the President of the United States was also present.
       Mack turned and looked at Trump as he sat down in one of the
       chairs behind him.  He said, “Last time I saw you, Mr. Trump,
       when we were at Restaurante Courbet, you were at the top of your
       world, at the summit of your power.  The world was at your feet.
       What happened?”
       Trump’s eyes were dull with fatigue.  “That’s a foolish question
       and you know it.” He said.  “I was betrayed, cheated, and chased
       out of office in a way not ever seen before in politics.  I won
       the election.  That’s the truth.”  Trump’s voice was tired as
       well.
       He continued.  “Trump’s always been a winner.  Trump’s won it by
       a landslide, by 8 million votes, and the other side knows it.
       Trump was treated worse than any other President in history,
       despite the fact that Trump’s been the greatest American
       President since Abraham Lincoln.  The deep state and the fake
       news media were out to get Trump and these traitors did their
       best to destroy him.  They cheated Trump out of what was
       rightfully his, the Presidency.  If the truth be told, I’m still
       the President.
       Trump breathed in a bushel of air.  “I railed against the
       election results,” he said.  “I warned the people, the ****
       people.  For some reason, Trump, a man ever ready to tell the
       truth, wasn’t believed, wasn’t trusted by too many **** ****
       people.
       “I entered lawsuit after lawsuit in the courts but they wouldn’t
       give me any justice.  Imagine that!  The courts betrayed me in
       some 60 **** lawsuits.  They said I didn’t have any proof, ****
       them!   All the things that Trump’s done for the courts, getting
       these justices onto the courts, and they wouldn’t do anything
       for him.  They’ve betrayed Trump for their precious law,
       conspiring against the law and order president.  They’re all
       traitors working for the deep state!”
       Trump paused, closed his eyes and was silent for a moment.  Then
       he said again, more softly, “Imagine the enormity of it all.
       They’ve betrayed the greatest!  Trump was the greatest American
       President that’s ever lived.  Trump brought peace and prosperity
       to so many people and then this happens, the stab in the back!”
       “Perhaps, Mr. Trump, you’ve gotten onto a lot of peoples’
       nerves,” said Mack.  “Many people tend to think of you as just
       another spath.”
       “A what?”
       “A narcissist.”
       Trump glared at Mack. “Don’t get smart with me, Stemple!” he
       bellowed.  “You’re nothing but a **** nobody, a little worm that
       can be squashed at any time!  Trump towers over you like a
       mountain!  You’re nothing but a worm on the **** pavement, ready
       to be stepped on!  Imagine the arrogance of that!  People
       calling me a narcissist, some kind of nut!  What kind of fool
       says that?  Everyone who’s honest knows that I’m a stable
       genius!”
       As Mack calmly met his glare, Trump continued, “I’m tired of all
       of the mud people: the ****, the Jews, the greasers, the
       liberals, the ****, messing with the American people, feeding
       them nonsense and fouling them with their filth.  I’m tired of
       the deep state.  When it comes down to it, the liberals, the
       ****, the ****, and the greasers aren’t citizens as far as
       Trump’s concerned.  Trump knows what’s best for the American
       people.
       “It’s like I’ve always said, Trump’s the one who knows more than
       most.  Trump knows more about things, many things, than the
       generals, the admirals, the diplomats, other politicians and the
       economists combined.  Trump’s always been well-endowed in
       everything, something that’s been the envy of many.  I hate the
       envious, choke artists who can’t be winners.  I hate all forms
       of weakness.”
       Trump paused and fixed his eyes at Mack.  “Why are so many
       people so afraid of a leader who’s strong?  Why don’t they
       admire strength when they see it?  Don’t they know what a good
       thing that they had in Trump?
       “It was through those damned Dominion voting machines and the
       **** routers, the Italian satellites, the secret vote counts in
       Germany and Italy, the **** smart Chinese thermostats, that I
       had lost the election.  The deep state did its best to destroy
       me.”
       “That’s hard to imagine,” said Mack.
       Trump went on. “Trump’s a law-and-order president despite the
       **** courts working against him.  They don’t support any ****
       truth or justice.  They didn’t investigate the **** routers and
       thermostats that were hacked, that changed the votes in many
       states.  They let me be betrayed by all the stupid choke artists
       that are the filthy vermin of our country.”
       Trump sank into silence.  When Mack didn’t continue, Trump said,
       “I’m still President, you know.  Biden wasn’t truly elected.
       The election was a sham, a disgrace to honest citizens.  Trump
       won by a landslide, by more than 8 million **** votes. “
       Trump lapsed into silence.  He looked searchingly at Mack for a
       long moment.  Then he said, “Did you destroy my Presidency,
       Stemple?  I know that you’re dangerous.  I know that you could
       have done it during the January 6 business.  I've heard way too
       much about **** Mack the Knife, all those wild stories about
       you.
       
       He glared at Mack, and said, furiously, "It's been reported that
       you've been seen lurking in and around the Willard Hotel back
       then.  At the present time, I'm missing some seven aides that
       were hired back then.  They can't be found and their truck and
       two hired cars are gone.  It's like those men had stepped off
       the face of the earth.  I think that it’s **** possible that
       you’ve been helping the **** deep state all along.  I think
       that, somehow, you have something to do with these missing men."
       Trump paused.  Then he said, "Maybe you're the one who's
       involved in their disappearance.  I still think that it's likely
       that you've killed my friends, Leonard Malcolm and Parker
       Simonsen, despite what you’ve said concerning them.”
       Mack shook his head and said, “The Royal Canadian Mounted Police
       officially declared that Leonard Malcolm died of exposure in a
       roadside ditch outside of Ft. McCloud, Alberta.  Parker Simonsen
       died as a suicide when the FBI and police, with a warrant for
       his arrest, came to his home.  He stuck a revolver barrel into
       his mouth and blew his head off as they entered his office.”
       Trump glared at Mack, apparently unconvinced.  “I’ve learned
       from Stivers, and some of my other aides, Stemple, that you’re
       the best field man around, that you’re fully capable of setting
       traps that could destroy your enemies, no matter how powerful
       they are.”
       Mack smiled faintly.  “It’s not that way, Mr. Trump.  I’m
       overrated.”
       “I don’t believe that you’re just another man,” snapped Trump.
       “I’ve heard too many stories saying you’re highly dangerous.”
       “I’m overrated,” said Mack.
       “I wonder about that.  I wonder how it is that you’re so
       invisible to people.  When I was President, my aides could ****
       learn very little about you. I’ve heard the talk, but it’s only
       just that, talk.”
       “Why should you wonder, Mr. Trump?  I’m only a little worm,
       remember?  Worms just bury themselves into the woodwork.  I’m in
       that woodwork.  You’re out in the open.”
       Trump paid him no attention.  He continued, “Then there was the
       case of my former bodyguard, Milo Doubek.  He died at the hands
       of the police, but I still wonder about that.  Did you, somehow,
       Stemple, trap Doubek into having the police kill him?  Why did
       he turn his gun onto the police?”
       Mack answered, “I’ve heard from the police accounts, Mr. Trump,
       that Doubek carried his pistol in his hand openly in public, and
       when confronted about it, said he had been betrayed by the “old
       man”, that is to say, his boss.  It was at that point he turned
       his gun towards the police.  It causes me to ask the question,
       did you, his last boss, betray him, Mr. Trump?”
       Trump’s eyes flashed in greater anger at that.  “I didn’t betray
       anyone, Stemple!  That’s simple idiocy!  You’ve **** betrayed
       me, Stemple!  Somehow you did so!  You demanded that I call the
       police for a minor nosebleed.  Imagine the nerve of that!  You
       making **** demands on me, the President of the United States!”
       Mack said, “Agent Jenkins was seriously injured in July 2018 and
       had to receive detailed medical treatment.  From what I’ve
       heard, he was put on medical leave for several months.  So much
       for it being a simple nosebleed.”
       “No,” said Trump.  “A nosebleed is no ground for having an agent
       put on leave.  The Secret Service, like too many of the other
       traitors, are just a **** bunch of pansies.”
       “Agent Jenkins’ doctors would disagree with you.”
       “Well **** the doctors!  I still think that Doubek’s death has
       something **** wrong with it.”
       “Something wrong about it is right,” said Mack. “Why was Doubek,
       walking down Claxton Street with a drawn pistol in his hand, in
       an area near where I was staying in Lake Worth?  Was that a
       coincidence, Mr. Trump? Or was it rather the case of you and
       Doubek were actually trying to murder me?”
       Trump scowled at that.
       Mack continued.  “Was Doubek’s assault upon me after the assault
       upon Agent Jenkins, and his later following me, with a drawn
       pistol, part of a contemplated murder attempt?  Was it some kind
       of experiment in political murder that you two were
       experimenting in 2018?  Were you two men planning more murders
       in 2019 and 2020?”
       “You’re a light-weight!” snapped Trump.  “You’re a worm, not a
       man.  You’re not worth the trouble, dead or alive.  But I still
       can’t stop thinking of Malcolm and Simonsen.  You’re a killer,
       Stemple.  You’re sheer poison around wealthy people, the salt of
       the Earth.  Death seems to follow you.  I still think that
       you’ve killed those friends of mine.”
       “Those are delusions,” said Mack.
       Trump glared at Mack, and then sighed.  He slumped back in his
       chair and closed his eyes.
       His rages apparently exhaust him, Mack thought.  He’d apparently
       had an angry morning.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Mack let the quiet settle in for a moment and then he changed
       the subject.  “When I was at the White House, Mr. Trump, I saw
       that you had only your father’s picture on the Oval Office desk,
       and there were no other family pictures.”
       Trump opened his eyes and looked at Mack.  “That’s right
       Stemple.  I’m a chip off the old block.  I like to think how
       much farther I’ve gone in life compared to my father.  I am a
       man much greater than he was.  In fact, my father was nothing
       compared to me.”
       “I can’t disagree with that.  But the shadows of the past seem
       to always darken the present. Our fathers were dark figures.
       They wanted us to be killers, to use their language.  Isn’t that
       something we have in common, the shared nothingness of bad
       fathers?  Couldn’t it be said that your father murdered your
       brother Fred?”
       Trump looked at Mack for a long moment, and then said,
       “Everybody gets what they deserve.”
       “But the grief of those days still linger.  Did you or your
       brother deserve what you got?”
       Trump glared at Mack.  “My family was as normal as any other
       family.”
       “And so, Mr. Trump, it was all sunny, delightful family bliss?”
       Trump glared at Mack.  “Yes, it was delightful!” He snapped.
       “As you know, I’ve had the same delightful family experience,
       the same type of father.  It was all joy amid the tears.  I
       suspect that that’s the reason you’ve put up with me for so
       long.”
       Some of the anger went out of Trump’s eyes.  But the
       defensiveness remained.  “Our family got along okay, Stemple.
       It toughened us up in the end.”
       “And our fathers smiled upon us, Mr. Trump.”
       “Yes, they did, I think.  And they certainly got away with
       murder over the years.  My father laughed at all the **** he got
       away with.  He got away with a lot, like I have, and will.”
       “Is that why you’re laughing now?  Is that why we can both laugh
       now?”
       “I get away with a lot, Stemple, much like my father.  I have a
       lot of laughter.  I can **** on whomever I will.”
       “You’re overjoyed.”
       “You’re wrong, Stemple.  I’m way on top of the world.  I’m outta
       sight.  My father would have never believed that his son became
       President of the United States.  He didn’t think that much of
       me.”
       “Why did it have to happen that were we both destroyed in our
       youth?  We both found no victory in that.”
       “I wasn’t destroyed.  I toughened up and fought when I could.  I
       was a man who went from strength to strength.”
       “So it was, Mr. Trump, the power of positive thinking, of
       growing in strength through joy.”
       Trump didn’t reply, his tired, angry eyes fixed on Mack.
       Mack continued.  “But why did we both have to cry as much as we
       did when we were very young?  Why did we have to be so afraid in
       all those years of joy?”
       Trump smiled grimly.  “What tears and what fears could we have
       had in all that family bliss?”
       Mack smiled again faintly.  “I can clearly see that we’ve had a
       lot of the same joy in all that family bliss.”
       “People get what they deserve.”  Trump’s smile disappeared.
       “You’re up to your old tricks, Stemple.  You’re trying to play
       again with my head.”
       “I’m a player, Mr. Trump.  I think you know it.  It’s much like
       golf.  We both know that you love the game and like to wield the
       club.”
       “That’s a fact, Stemple.”
       “And we’ve both clubbed and were clubbed in our youth.”
       “That’s the way it was.”
       “At least our clubs were exclusive,” said Mack.
       Trump smiled grimly.  “People have to be special to get into
       those clubs.”
       “I agree, Mr. Trump.  You have to have the bruises.  You have to
       have the high marks and the low marks.”
       “That’s the way it is.  It’s a tough place to measure up to,
       Stemple.”
       “Did we both measure up?”
       “I did, Stemple.  Look at where I’m at now.”
       “Yes, and I’m the worm.  But was it worth the cost?”
       Trump remained silent.
       Mack continued.  “When it came to the club, I preferred to duck
       out.  I like to be seen but little seen.”
       “You’re invisible, Stemple.  No one can see you.  You hide like
       a worm in the woodwork.  You have a different kind of cunning
       from me.”
       “I didn’t like how my father hit me.”
       “Mine hit me, Stemple, but with his words.  Powerful things,
       those words and the feelings behind them.”
       “I agree, Mr. Trump.  They killed your brother.”
       “I hate you.”
       “I know.”
       Trump sighed.  “It isn’t fair, Stemple.  You’re invisible and
       I’m out in the open.  You seemingly haven’t aged at all since
       the 1980s.  Your hair is slightly grayer, but you move and act
       like a younger man.  Life just isn’t fair.”
       “But our fathers told us that life’s unfair.”
       “It is, Stemple, and everyone’s an enemy.  Our fathers showed us
       that.”
       “But it doesn’t have to be that way.  Friendship is possible.”
       “But in the end, no friendship ever lasts.  That’s a fact.”
       “But isn’t it a fact that we love and are loved by many people,
       making friendship possible?”
       “Perhaps, Stemple, but we’re also players in a rough game, and
       I’m the best there is.”
       “Perhaps you could have been more like me, Mr. Trump.  Perhaps
       you could have been less visible, but that’s the problem with
       the club. The club may be exclusive, but you’ve got to get away
       from it.  The club rules may catch up with you.  The world is
       closing in on you.”
       “My father wouldn’t have ever permitted that, Stemple.  He would
       have insisted on me following the club’s rules.  He would’ve
       wanted me to walk in front of the crowd, to be the chief, the
       leader over all others.”
       “So he really said he loved you and wanted you to succeed?”
       “He did, Stemple.  I’m the best there is, a chip off the old
       man’s block.”
       “But the tears of grief we shed in the past remain.”
       “Life has its bad moments.  There’s got to be a lot of tears.”
       “And so, Mr. Trump, we must be thrashed by the club, and the
       club rules.”
       “Everyone gets hurt, Stemple, but one can duck the club.  I’ve
       managed to do it for years playing the game.”
       “And so, in the end, you’re like me, Mr. Trump.  You’re never
       seen.  You’ve never shown your true self.”
       Trump smiled.  “That’s the way it is and how it should be.  I’m
       never seen.  Do you believe me?”
       “I do, Mr. Trump.”
       “I’m in everybody’s sight, Stemple, but I’m outta sight.  When
       you’re outta sight, you’re outta mind, especially to those
       thinking about destroying you.  They don’t know me and they hate
       it when I’m outta sight and outta reach.”
       “But we all get touched sometime.”
       “But I don’t want to be touched.”
       “But we all do crave to be touched, Mr. Trump.”
       “I want things, all things, to be on my own terms.”
       “But that rarely happens.”
       “I hate you, Stemple.”
       “Do I remind you of yourself, Mr. Trump? Of a road you didn’t
       travel?”
       “You don’t, Stemple.  I love myself, my achievements, instead of
       doing what you do, hiding away like a contemptible worm.”
       “Our fathers did not love us.  They didn’t even love
       themselves.”
       “Well, Stemple, bully for them.”
       “They were bullies then, weren’t they?”
       “That’s the way it’s got to be.  Better to have the club instead
       of not having it.  One can thrash things with the club.”
       “Then, perhaps one should be invisible.”
       “I’m invisible, ain’t I, Stemple?  Who knows who I am, really?
       Though I’m out in the open, I’m hidden like you.”
       “You’re hidden, I agree, but being out in the open makes you a
       target.”
       “It makes it better for wielding a club and thrashing things.”
       “The world is closing in on you, Mr. Trump.”
       “I’ll strike out if I can, Stemple, unlike you, hiding in the
       woodwork.”
       “You may not succeed.”
       “I will.  I hate enough and I’m willing to do what needs to be
       done to succeed.”
       “Why strive with all that hatred, Mr. Trump?  Why not choose the
       happiness of love?”
       “I’m not buying into that ****, Stemple.  I’m giving the world
       all the love that the world gave me back in return.”
       “That’s a hard sell, Mr. Trump.  Our fathers gave us their all.”
       “My father was that to me, Stemple.  I received the full force
       of that love.  I won’t risk myself for that kind of love
       anymore.”
       “Our fathers failed us, I agree, but life is a risk and love is
       a risk.  Besides, you’ve done a lot of risky things over the
       years.”
       “I know the risks, Stemple.  And as you know, I’m good at the
       game.”
       “But what if the world finally makes you play by its own rules
       and takes away your club?”
       “Life’s like golf, Stemple.  The rules aren’t very strict with a
       player who knows how to game the system.”
       “Sometimes you can’t play that game, Mr. Trump.  Eventually,
       others may want to force you to play a different game.”
       “Well, bully for them.”
       “Maybe they’ll come after you with bigger clubs.”
       “I’m the best there is, Stemple.  I know I can’t be beat.  I’ve
       already beaten the best.”
       “Our fathers didn’t think so about us.”
       “Our fathers were contemptible, but they knew the winning
       strategy.  They knew that everyone else is dirt.  In the end,
       everyone is dirt, and everyone’s part of the mud people.”
       “I thought, Mr. Trump that you said that it was the mud people
       who robbed you of the Presidency?”
       “They did.  But I didn’t know what to do at the time.  I wasn’t
       angry enough like our fathers.  I didn’t step on them hard
       enough.”
       “But can you step enough on the mud people, Mr. Trump?  Mud’s
       like water.  It doesn’t break like a twig, but merely reforms
       around the step.  Sometimes the mud traps the foot stepping into
       it.”
       Trump glared at Mack. “You’re a worm, Stemple, one of the mud
       people.”
       “But aren’t we the same mud of what our fathers wanted us to be,
       Mr. Trump?”
       “Maybe for you, that’s the case.  For me, I became my own man, a
       person not like my father.”
       “Maybe that’s why your father hated you, a chip off the old
       block.”
       “I don’t mind receiving hatred from anyone.”

       “So all that hatred was not important?”
       Trump sighed.  “People get what they deserve,” he muttered.
       Mack looked at him in silence, and said, “I came here, Mr.
       Trump, at the request of the Secret Service supervisor, Mr.
       Michael Collins, who had me clarify some issues regarding the
       Doubek assault both upon me and Agent Jenkins back in 2018.  It
       was for that reason you’ve seen me again outside your office
       windows today.  That’s why I’m here and why I wanted to see you
       one last time.
       “I came to say goodbye.  After today, like you’ve said, I’m a
       worm, and now, this worm going further into the woodwork. I’m
       going to ground and I won’t be found, either by you or by
       anyone.  The apartment and the mailing address in Fort Benton,
       Montana have already been closed down.  The US Marshal Service
       that administers Witness Protection Program, and serves as my
       liaison service, will not know where I am.  Of course, they’ve
       never actually known where I have been living for many years
       anyway.
       “I’ll be leaving Montana and no one in that state will know
       where I’ve gone.  If you really need to contact me, the only
       person that will serve as a contact will be Nolan Tarp, formerly
       of Laramie, Wyoming.  You won’t be able to directly contact him
       either, but if you have one of your people post a general
       community message on the Wyoming Craigslist asking for the
       services of a provost actuary, he may respond with a telephone
       call to the number your people list.  The recognition sign that
       he will offer your people will be the word ‘Cordova’.  The
       recognition parole your people will need to give him in return
       will be the word ‘Barksdale’. Anyone calling, inquiring about
       what a provost actuary is or does, is not going to be him.  He
       may not necessarily respond to your attempts to contact him.  If
       he’s interested, you can expect that he will demand a stiff
       payment for his information and for his other services.  He will
       initially require your people to make multiple cash payments by
       means of a dead drop.  He will be expensive.  He will also set
       the protocol for any face to face meetings.  I would stress to
       your people to never anger him.  He has the power of retribution
       and he will have backup.”
       “I’ve heard about Tarp from some of my aides.  I’ve heard he’s a
       great field man,” Trump said.  “I’ve heard that he’s a cold,
       hard man.”
       “He is.”
       Trump sighed again.  “Why in hell are you are so young looking?
       We’re both about the same age, in our 70s.  I’m looking and
       feeling like an old man.  You look like you’re still in your
       late 30s or early 40s.”  Trump moaned.  “It just isn’t fair.
       You’re in obvious good health; much like we were in the 90s.
       I’m old and feeling my age and yet, you’re standing before me
       lookin’ and movin’ around as if you’re young and in the prime of
       life.  It just isn’t fair.”
       Mack smiled.  “It’s all due to plain living and high thinking.”
       “Don’t get smart with me, Stemple!  Remember who I am?  Trump’s
       the big man here.  From what you’re telling me, Tarp might be
       bigger than you, a real stand-up guy, possibly a better field
       man than you are.”
       “You’re probably right,” said Mack.  “And he’s also a killer
       from what I hear.”  And Mack thought silently to himself, and he
       has an antipathy towards you.
       Trump paused and looked mournfully at the seal of the President
       of the United States on one of his walls.  Mack could see the
       anger rising again in his eyes.
       “Perhaps I should hire him.  Now is the time for blood!  Now is
       the time to punish the deep state!  I’m done being soft with
       people!  People have had it too easy with me.  Now is the time
       to smash some heads!”  Trump leaned back in his chair and closed
       his eyes.  Then he said, "What wealthy people need in this
       country are their own enforcers for order in the nation, even
       their own private armies.  With that they can protect and
       enforce their rights."  He lapsed into silence.
       These are the utterances of treason, thought Mack.  He
       contemplated taking his leave at this point.
       Then Trump sighed and said again, “It just isn’t fair.  I won
       the **** **** election by a landslide.  Trump’s the greatest
       American President that ever lived.  He’s too much loved by too
       many **** people for that to have occurred.
       “Even Pence turned traitor, that **** coward.  On January 6th,
       he went to the Senate and certified the election.  He should
       have been hung by my people when they stormed the Capitol.  If
       he had refused to certify that fake 2020 election, like he was
       supposed to, and had it turned over to the House of
       Representatives, I would have been voted in and would’ve
       remained President.  That’s the trouble with all these
       Christians like Pence, no backbone, all bleating sheep with
       their **** consciences!  It’s too much the golden rule this and
       the golden rule that!  Don’t they know that they who have the
       gold rules?  They’re all sheep, **** mud people loving the  ****
       mud people, especially in the presence of the **** deep state.
       The sheep need to be kicked and kicked again!  They need to have
       their consciences beaten out of them!  It’s time for blood and
       struggle, and men must become wolves again!”
       Mack interrupted him.  “I hear, Mr. Trump, that Pence didn’t
       trust the Secret Service agents guarding him. I think that he
       heard the people shouting ‘hang Mike Pence’ and didn’t like that
       as well.”
       “Well, bully for Mike Pence.  If he had left like he was
       supposed to, that damned election certification would not have
       taken place!” snapped Trump, who leaned back in his chair again
       and closed his eyes.  He was quiet for a moment.  Then he
       muttered, “People who think they can go their own way and betray
       Trump and all good patriots, ought to be put to death.  I should
       have been President for life.  It was all these **** traitors
       who prevented that from happening.”
       Mack had heard enough.  “It’s the time for me to go, Mr. Trump.”
       Mack wondered how Trump’s associates and aides were able to put
       up with his malice.
       Trump opened his eyes.  They were very tired.  “Before you go,
       have you tried the food here, Stemple?”
       “I have, back in the 90s, with Preston Callendar, when we came
       to visit you during ‘the Season’.”
       “Was it good?”
       “It was.  I also enjoyed your hors d’oeuvres the last time I was
       here.”
       “That’s really the case, Stemple.  What Trump offers is always
       good.  Trump’s a good man, a strong man, though these facts are
       not recognized by many.  Trump is a great man, one of the
       greatest that’s ever lived.  It’s too bad that so many have
       refused to acknowledge Trump’s greatness.
       “You know, Trump’s one of the world’s richest men.  He’s
       entitled to respect and power.  But Trump never seems to get
       what he deserves.  I’m tired Stemple, tired of it all, tired of
       all the lesser men speaking out of turn, not knowing those who
       are rightfully their masters.
       “I’m tired of the American people, the stupid sheep, yearning
       for a master and never finding one, throwing patriots like Trump
       down into the gutter like a gum wrapper or something.  There are
       too many mud people, the ****, the liberals, the greasers, the
       Jews, the **** having the talk of freedom and failing to see the
       need for a strong man.  My people don’t believe in any kind of
       freedom apart from Trump.
       “Perhaps I’m another **** **** Christ, according to the modern
       prophets who support me, a better Christ than the ones who came
       before me.  Perhaps all those who oppose me are demon inspired.
       Perhaps we need a new religion in this country, one that
       recognizes me for who I truly am.”
       Trump sighed.  “Perhaps I should have entered professional golf.
       Did you know that I was one of the greatest players of the
       game?  I should have gone professional.  That’s what I should
       have done. If I had done that, I’d be doing something that I
       love and would not have had to deal with the fake media and all
       these **** mud people.  I sure hate all the **** that has been
       dished out to me, all about the routers, the thermostats, the
       **** Italian satellites, and the stolen election.”
       Mack smiled faintly at that.  “If you had taken up golf, then
       you wouldn’t need to steal.  That was quite an embarrassment
       having the government seize back those classified documents that
       you stored here.”
       “I declassified those documents, Stemple.  I also own them.
       They were a record of my administration and they’re rightfully
       mine.  To hell with any law that says otherwise.  To hell with
       the public, and all those bleating sheep, who complain about the
       **** national security.  If I want something, I can damn well
       take it.  I have the authority since I’m rightfully the
       President.
       “Trump won the election and has always been a great winner.
       Trump went farther than my father in affairs, much farther that
       he ever dreamed.  Everyone must concede that Trump is a great
       man.  People have blamed me for the insurrection on January 6.
       Those were my people and I love them.  I don’t understand why
       people don’t understand the work of patriots.  I didn’t have
       anything to do with the January 6th insurrection.  Those
       patriots acted out their anger because of conviction, anger that
       the election had been stolen from them and that the courts
       weren’t doing anything about it.
       “If the **** sheep bleat for law and order, to hell with them!
       To hell with law and order!  Why should patriots, supporting
       Trump, give any respect to a rigged system?  Pence that ****
       rat, was disloyal to me!  If he hadn’t certified the election,
       it would have been decided in Congress and I would have remained
       President!  Pence’s a **** rat, a disgrace!
       “I should have been with my people on their march to the Capitol
       on January 6th, but it was not to be!  My cowardly aides
       manhandled me into the limo and back to the White House.
       Imagine that!  Trump should’ve stormed into the House and Senate
       with his supporters.  If the police resisted, Trump could’ve
       commanded them to stop.  And if they didn’t stop, he would have
       ordered them killed.  As far as I’m concerned, only I and my
       people count!  And if the truth be told, at bottom, even they
       don’t count!  Only I alone count!  Only my will counts!”
       Trump stopped, exhausted.  His face was red and covered with
       sweat.

       By: HOLLAND Date: March 12, 2023, 11:26 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Mack watched as shadows seem to darken in the room.  Outside,
       the lawn and sidewalks were under the shade of clouds.  A storm
       was probably blowing in from the coast.
       After a moment of silence, Mack said quietly, “What you’re
       saying is to be expected from what we went through.  This is the
       same dark shadow, standing behind both of our fathers who also
       thought that they, and their will alone, counted.”
       Trump didn’t immediately reply.  Eventually with weary eyes, he
       muttered, “It’s like I’ve always said, everyone gets what they
       deserve in the end.  That was the way it was with my father.  He
       took the heat, and gave the heat, and didn’t care what other
       people thought.”
       “And that’s the way it’s going to be with you,” Mack replied.
       “Like I’ve said, I’m a chip off the old block.  It’s the same
       with you, Stemple, and don’t try to say otherwise.  We’re both
       made of the same dust and chips, the same damned mud of our
       fathers.”
       “I agree.  In a certain way, our fathers still rule us even from
       their graves.  And that includes all the inevitable enablers of
       that darkness which came after them.”
       Trump nodded.  “Yeah, that’s how it was for me.  There were the
       professionals who had supported my father, who helped him make
       his money.  I’ve learned a lot from them and really did
       appreciate what they’ve done over the years.  Then there were
       the toadies who sponged off of the Trumps back then, and still
       try to do so.  They’re contemptible.  Then there are those ****
       **** others, the damned crimpers who made our lives hell.  They
       included those **** **** shrinks, the blackleg doctors, who
       enabled all that fatherly love in my teenage years.”
       Mack nodded.  “I’ve experienced similar doctors like that in my
       school years, Mr. Trump.  I’ve experienced their inhumanity.  I
       gave them little cooperation when they refused to reveal
       themselves to me.  They remained in the shadows and wouldn’t
       allow me the right of refusal to their treatment and control.
       I’m sure you didn’t like them pouring cold water onto all your
       youthful dreams. ”
       Trump agreed.  “That’s true.  I really hated those crimpers."
       He said.  "I still do.  As far as I’m concerned, no **** ****
       shrink is going to shrink my greatness.”
       “But, Mr. Trump, in order to be happy, we’ll ultimately have to
       forgive our fathers and their doctors what they’ve done to us.
       I know this is a hard saying, but like you’ve said, we’ve had to
       become hardened and this forgiveness should be part of our
       hardness.”
       “I’ve already done that, Stemple.  Can’t you see it?  I’m loaded
       with forgiveness, but I’m not going to stop thinking of what
       those crimpers really are.  My father was a little man who
       needed crimpers around him.  In a way, if the truth be told, my
       father was a chip off the block of who I am.  My father was only
       chips and dust compared to me.”
       Mack smiled faintly.  “Speaking of chips off the old block,
       isn’t it true, Mr. Trump, that you hate me because I’ve failed
       to become a chip off the block, whereas you had?  And isn’t
       being a chip off the block a failure, because you’ve failed to
       become what you should’ve been in the first place?”
       Trump glared at him.  “That’s a bunch of nonsense and you know
       it, Stemple." He said.  "I’m nothing like my father.  I’m a very
       great man, the best there is.  I’m far ahead of what my father
       accomplished.  He’s nothing, compared to me.  As for those
       doctors, in the end, what my father finally said about them is
       true: ‘what they say doesn’t pass the smell test’.  Even my
       father backed away from them.  He showed them what an NDA meant.
       “What we got from those doctors, Stemple, was a lot of the bait
       and stick all around.  But one has to fight them.  And we
       learned the great truth.  The winners stick it out.  The losers
       can’t.”
       “I could agree, Mr. Trump, that what we got was years of bait
       and stick aplenty.”
       Trump wasn't finished.  “Yes, and we had to kiss the stick, to
       become the cold killers our fathers wanted us to be, Stemple.
       If people are angry about us, they should’ve realized that we’re
       only doing what our fathers taught us.  That’s what I became.
       I’m only what my father wanted me to be.  I really respected my
       father.”
       “Perhaps you did respect him in a certain way, Mr. Trump.  I do
       find troubling your expression of kissing the stick.  Isn’t it
       true that the doctor’s bait and stick only meant in the end the
       same thing, a stick?”
       “That’s true, Stemple.  At a certain point, the bait and stick
       became one for us."  Trump sighed and said, sadly, "It was at
       that point that I knew that the bait or stick meant nothing at
       all.  The only thing that meant was the stick, the control over
       others.  I didn’t want to let them control me.  As far as I
       could see, they didn’t follow any rules or morality.  They
       didn’t acknowledge my humanity.”
       Mack nodded at that.  “I’ve experienced that same inhumanity,
       Mr. Trump.  But I’d say it’s not simply a matter of control in
       battling our fathers and their doctors.  It’s fundamentally a
       battle for freedom and human dignity.”
       Trump looked at Mack for a long moment and then said, “That’s
       missing the point of it all, Stemple.  They didn’t care at all
       about our freedom or dignity.  Let me repeat that.  Freedom is
       nothing without having the power to control others, to stop them
       from thwarting one’s will.  They didn’t give a damn about us.
       They weren’t concerned about our emotions, our rage.  They were
       only the paid tools of our fathers and they were going to have
       us conform to their will.  It’s like I said, there are no rules
       or morality fighting those people, or anyone else when it comes
       to it.  They have no truth since they’ve always bending their
       truth towards the control they’re seeking.  Speaking of myself,
       they’ve shown me that nothing is real and that everything’s a
       fraud.”
       After a moment, Mack could hear a jet plane flying overhead,
       coming into a landing at the airport in West Palm Beach,
       something that the President had forbidden when he was at Mar a
       Lago during his presidency.  Trump had lapsed into silence.
       Mack thought that it was time to go.
       “Damned airplanes,” the ex-President muttered.  “I’m the winner.
       I’ve always won the battles I fought.  You can’t deny that.  I
       can’t be touched by anyone.  No one is ever going to hold me
       accountable for anything.  As far as I’m concerned, I’m the ****
       Teflon Don, the **** forty-fifth President of the United States.
       I won that election, and Biden wasn’t ever truly elected.  The
       election was a sham, a disgrace to all honest patriots.  Trump
       won by a landslide.  Trump won by more than 8 million votes.
       Trump glared at him.  “You’re more like me than you want to
       admit, Stemple.  You’re much like my former bodyguard, Milo
       Doubek.  At bottom, we’re all killers.  I’ve heard the stories
       about you as being ‘Mack the Knife”.  You’re known as a master
       of the balisong and I’ve heard that you could kill a man with a
       folded balisong, without the blade being flicked out.”
       “I am skilled in stick fighting, if that’s what you mean, Mr.
       Trump.  The folded balisong is actually a mercy. Someone
       confronting you doesn’t have to die by the blade.  That person
       can be killed or disabled by a stick.”
       “That’s the problem with you, Stemple.  You’re always holding
       back.  You’re not going out for the blood, the kill, like you
       should be doing.  That’s a grave weakness.  You’re always
       lurking in the shadows and not living out in the open.”
       “Knives and sticks are for ambush killers, Mr. Trump.  That’s
       part of living in the shadows.  That’s a part of our world, a
       part of who we are.  Our fathers and their doctors lived in the
       shadows and were highly skilled in their ambushes as well.”
       “I haven’t thought of it that way, Stemple.  They gave us the
       bait, the stick and even the blade.  Their words, I think,
       became a matter of life and death for us, and they ultimately
       chose death for us, a living death.”  Trump rubbed his sad,
       tired eyes and looked at Mack and smiled weakly.
       The two men heard another airplane pass over Mar a Lago, going
       in for a landing at the airport in West Palm Beach.  Trump's
       weak smile began to fade.
       Mack was getting tired of this conversation.  It was time to
       draw it to a close.  They would never reconcile since, for
       Trump, words no longer had any meaning.  He said,  “I can agree
       that the doctors didn’t care about us.   In the end, they were
       indifferent to our emotional and professional development.  But
       that was who they were.  Early on, we had to admit that they
       were hirelings, enablers of our fathers, and that dictated how
       they behaved.  They were also narcissists.
       “Do you know why we’re ultimately different, Mr. Trump?  Why,
       unlike you, I never became a chip off the old block?  At twelve
       years of age, I fell in love with a girl and was touched by the
       eternal.  I was able to grasp onto the possibility of love, of
       intimacy.  That is what divides us, the possibility of love.
       Though I eventually lost the girl, I grabbed onto the eternal
       and held onto it.”
       Trump glared at him.  “That’s the same **** stupidity on your
       part, Stemple, talking about religion, that pitiful disease of
       weak people, of choke artists, and mud people.  Don’t talk to me
       about that.  I don’t want to hear it.  I live in the light of
       day and not in the shadows, like you do.  I’ve enjoyed my wealth
       and power and I don’t cower away hidden from people.  I’m loved
       by millions and have been intimate with many women.  I have my
       own strength and I shall overcome all opposition.”
       “That sounds like your father talking.”
       “That’s the truth, Stemple, though you don’t want to admit it.”
       Mack tried another conversational tack.  “You said that nothing
       is real, that everything’s a fraud.  When we were both young, we
       both lied, sometimes on a big scale. We lied a lot, to our shame
       and to the shame of others.  We had to lie because lies were
       sometimes a necessary survival skill because of the abuse we
       suffered.  After all, we suffered from childhood post traumatic
       stress disorder.  Of course, it didn’t work for us. It certainly
       didn’t work for me.  I found that love makes all things
       possible, even if that love is eventually thwarted or not
       reciprocated.  I’ve found that we are sustained by love and it
       brings us out of the hollowness of our lives.  Love enriches us.
       If you can give yourself to love, you can give up the fraud,
       and all those defenses that you use to separate yourself from
       love and happiness.”
       Trump glared at him.  “At bottom, nothing is real, Stemple, not
       even **** love. Why open yourself up to being hurt again?  Love
       is just another crimping of the mind.  Look at what happened to
       us.   I see things as they are.  I use words to disclose and
       conceal who I am.  By words, I can create and recreate myself.
       By words I become god-like.
       “I don’t hide like a worm in the shadows, like you do.  I remain
       in the sunlight, out in the open, ready to take on all comers.
       I’m still hidden though.  Nobody sees me, like you’ve said.
       People only see and know what I allow them to see and know.
       That is power, true power.  The tongue is a great force by those
       who know how to speak, when it’s backed by wealth.  That’s why I
       am the way I am.  I don’t always tell the supposed truth.   I
       tell my own truth, and my words are my strength, not weakness.
       “Why do RINOs make a fuss about the truth?  They’ve been lying
       to the public for decades, long before I came along.  Why should
       their truth be more important than my truth?  My truth is my
       own, and it’s who I am.  My truth’s more important to me than
       theirs.  My truth, backed by wealth and power, must win out in
       the end.”
       Mack shook his head.  “That’s the impasse between us.”
       “You’re a worm, Stemple, a **** worm.  You never stand up for
       yourself, don’t you?  You always hold back, never going in for
       the kill.  You talk just like a worm.  In the end, you don’t
       have any **** self-respect.”
       “I’m just not that kind of stand-up guy,” said Mack, smiling.
       “Because of my past, I seek to avoid trouble.  I admit I’m
       always guarded in my dealing with people, especially those in
       authority.  I will honor my own humanity and not respect any
       authority that would diminish that humanity.  Why should I
       strive for the acclaim of others like you do?  I like fading
       into the woodwork. And as we’ve both agreed, you’re out in the
       open.”
       Trump softened his glare at Mack.  He sighed and said, “Living
       in the shadows isn’t a sign of self-respect, Stemple.  It’s
       highly subversive.  I can sense your disrespect for those who
       have power.  Everything’s based on respect.  Only an idiot or an
       ass can’t see that.
       “Life’s based on respect.  It’s all about the golden rule: he
       who has the gold rules.  You ought to respect your betters.
       We’re the golden people who rule this country and especially the
       government.  You have to accept that.  You, and people like you,
       don’t count in the scheme of things.”
       Mack smiled at that.  It was time to do the man a jag, testing
       his supposed superior vocabulary.  “Though, unlike me, you have
       weakness and age in your body, Mr. Trump, you have a certain
       kind of majesty. Your thrasonical manner does point to a
       lambent, bubaline majesty that towers above us all.  You hold
       onto the horns of power much like the monarchs of old, as they
       themselves held onto their power, arrayed in all their splendor,
       as in those ancient days long past.  Though, nowadays, many
       would say that they find you agrestic, your majesty makes even
       those skeptical of you to pause and to wonder.  Though you are
       hebetudinous and incogitant to many, many others find you highly
       aestival despite your other gnathonic followers.”
       Trump didn’t see the jag, that he’d been insulted in the
       supposed flattery.  He smiled broadly at Mack and said, “Ain’t
       that the truth, Stemple.  That’s what I would say myself and I
       always have the best words.”
       “The truth matters, Mr. Trump.  Words matter in the end, even
       like the simple braying of the cattle in the field matters.”
       “No, Stemple, the truth doesn’t matter.  Neither do words.
       People should take life in stride, as it is, as they find it.
       People shouldn’t be angry with me.  I only tell things as they
       are.”
       Mack looked at Trump sadly and shook his head.  He said, “Most
       people would disagree with you, Mr. Trump.  Our fathers never
       gave us the words and the truth we wanted to hear, though we
       needed them.  At a certain point, the words that we received
       hurt us badly.”
       Trump smiled grimly at Mack.  “They only showed us the hard
       things in life, that there is no such thing as God, or love, or
       friendship, something I’ve already told you.  In the end, it’s
       like I said.  There aren’t any friends, only enemies.    Why do
       you and so many others draw away from that simple truth?”
       “Then, indeed, your supposed friends are your enemies.”
       “I hate you.”
       “I know that, Mr. Trump.”
       “I’ve always hated you.  I’m always naked before you.”
       “We’re both naked in a manner of speaking.  We’ve been cut from
       the same cloth, the same fabric of existence.  And that fabric
       is very threadbare.”
       “Despite all that, Stemple, nobody needs to feel sorry about me.
       I don’t need any man’s pity.  I think another man’s pity is
       contemptible.  I follow my own rules and morality and I spit on
       any man I want to.  I don’t think I have to say I’m sorry to
       anyone, for anything I’ve ever said or done.  Great men don't
       have to.  Through many struggles, I've made my bones over the
       years, and, in any dispute, I know that made guys are always in
       the right even when they're wrong.  Nobody ever said that they
       were sorry to me.  Nobody’s ever apologized to me.  Certainly
       the crimpers, the blackleg doctors didn’t, and why should they?
       I am the strongest man, the greatest man, a man of awesome
       power.  I’ve had the power and I’ve enjoyed that glory of power
       over others.  And if I have my way and that power again, I’ll
       have my enemies pay with their wealth and blood!”
       “So, in the end, it’s about wealth and blood, Mr. Trump?  Wasn’t
       that our fathers’ view of things?  Why don’t we consider again
       their words and how they had affected us both?   Aren’t we
       living the living death they planned for us?”
       “You just don’t get it, Stemple.  Words don’t mean anything,
       anything at all.”  Trump sighed, his eyes bloodshot and weary.
       “Why should they?”  He sank back in his chair and was silent,
       except for his troubled, tired eyes.
       Mack didn’t respond to that.  At this point, what can one say?
       As the silence began to deepen, Trump looked at Mack with his
       tired eyes and said, “It’s too late for the both of us.”
       The two men looked into each other eyes for a long moment.  Then
       Trump wearily laid his head back in his chair and closed his
       eyes.
       Mack stared at the silent man.  “And we shall both go to our
       respective dooms, Mr. Trump.  I’m sorry in however I have
       offended you.”  Trump did not immediately respond.
       As Mack got up from the chair, he heard Trump softly say, "Only
       worms apologize, Stemple.  Why aren't you the kind of worm like
       all my followers?"
       Mack left the darkened room into the hallway, where he joined
       Collins and Devin.  Following Collins, going down the hallway,
       they went back into the brightness of the outside.  Walking
       across the white cement pavement, they returned to the Secret
       Service vehicle, where the driver Brooks waited.  As they were
       getting into the car, Mack wondered how Mar a Lago, a place of
       majesty and beauty, could have so much evil and unhappiness
       within it.
       Soon their car went out of the parking lot, onto the road.  As
       they arrived at the exit, Mack watched as they were waved
       through the exit by the friendly guards.  Mack was thankful for
       having finally left the place.  He didn’t look back.

       Re: The Last Farewell At Mar a Lago
       By: HOLLAND Date: March 12, 2023, 11:29 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       They went to dine at a seafood restaurant by the water in West
       Palm Beach, a restaurant known for its seafood and by its fine
       carpeting, amber colored oak walls and tables.  Mack was
       familiar with the seafood to be found in Florida.
       Mack enjoyed eating the many kinds of deep sea fish that often
       graced many Floridian tables.  Mack was also skeptical of the
       local oysters, much preferring the oysters to be found in the
       Northern states such as Maine, Washington and Alaska.  He was
       assured by Collins that he wouldn’t be disappointed with the
       cuisine of this restaurant.  He wasn’t.  The men went for a
       specialty offered by this establishment, oyster pie.  They dined
       on dinner salads and slices of oyster pie topped with a thin
       crust coated with parmesan cheese and thinly grated shallots and
       garlic.
       At one point of the dinner, Collins asked Mack a question in the
       usual coded language, since they were in a moderately filled
       restaurant and there was a chance of being overheard.  “In the
       last sense,” Collins asked, “would you consider your interviews
       with AUTARCH a war of words?”  AUTARCH was the informal code
       word for Trump within the AAP.
       Mack could think of more unflattering code words for the man.
       “I suppose so,” Mack replied. “The man was always challenged
       people with his words.”
       Devin intruded.  “Who would you say that won in your
       conversations?” he asked.
       “I suppose it would be in the eye of the beholder, Devin.  Many
       would say that AUTARCH had won all his conversations with me
       since I couldn’t persuade him to change his ways or his
       policies.”
       “You spoke with him, Mack, in a manner that many people would
       have dreamed to speak to him if they had the opportunity to do
       so,” said Collins.  “I suppose that you had the best chance, of
       any, in changing his opinions.”
       “I suppose so,” said Mack.  “I wanted him to acknowledge what
       he’s experienced in life.  I wanted him to acknowledge the grief
       he’s experienced and what grief he’s visiting upon others.”
       “AUTARCH wouldn’t ever acknowledge his own grief,” said Collins.
       “He seeks to shut himself off from all of the hurt he’s
       experienced.  By his words, he closes himself off from others.”
       “Regrettably, that may be the case.” said Mack.
       “I think that he’s beyond words.  Perhaps, he’s never listened
       to anyone.” said Devin.  “Perhaps, like all the others, you’ve
       allowed him to verbally escape, letting him win his
       conversations like all the others who’ve talked to him over his
       lifetime.”
       “Perhaps,” said Mack.  “The man always needs an escape.
       Certainly, on one level, AUTARCH must always be, in his own
       eyes, the winner.”
       “Then he won your war of words,” said Devin, “and your
       conversations with him were, in the end, pointless.”
       “I would disagree,” said Mack.  “It had to be ventured.  That
       man is a lost soul, and a lost soul has need for those rare,
       frank words that should be spoken, even if those words are to be
       rejected.”
       “He’s a lost soul,” agreed Collins.  “Perhaps, in the end, you
       didn’t win.  But it doesn’t matter whether you’ve won or lost.
       The words of many of his supporters will cover his false words
       with their own false words, and the tragedy will go on.”
       “It will go on for a long time,” agreed Mack.  “But it cannot
       last.  Liars eventually burn themselves out.”
       “I hope that that is so,” said Collins.  “I'm impressed how
       you've spoken to Trump out of the commonality of a harsh
       childhood.”
       Mack nodded.  “I think that’s why AUTARCH had put up with me.
       We’ve suffered much at the hands of narcissists.  We’re much the
       same, like two old derelicts living on the streets.  We’re both
       beggars in the end.  The only difference between us is that he’s
       a better panhandler than me, and the alleys and cardboard boxes
       he sleeps in are a bit bigger.”
       “One thing is clear,” said Devin.  “AUTARCH has won all his
       critical battles. I think that he’ll eventually escape
       punishment for his crimes.  I think we’ve failed in dealing with
       him.”
       “He won’t escape who he is,” said Mack.  “Narcissists in old age
       descend into a living hell which they spent a lifetime creating.
       After he’s lost his health in old age, he’ll be lonely and
       angry, at war with his doctors, nurses, and their aides.  He’ll
       know that his family, who will visit him from time to time, will
       not truly love him.  It will only be their inheritances that
       will bond them to him, and to each other.  As his money is
       frittered away, even they will leave him.  He will hate and be
       hated by many.  Nobody will please him.  His memories will haunt
       him.  Behind all that vainglory, he’ll know himself for who he
       is, a hollow man, and it will gnaw at him.  He will die a
       bitter, dejected man.”
       “He’s then little more, in the end, a derelict, sleeping in a
       cardboard box in an alley somewhere,” said Devin.
       “Precisely,” said Mack.
       Collins gently brought the conversation back to other subjects.
       Mack didn’t participate much in those discussions, except for
       talking about some fly fishing in Montana and Idaho.  From what
       he heard of fishing from Devin, Devin had done a lot of fly
       fishing in Pennsylvania.  They spoke about how their wives
       prepared baking and pan-frying trout.  The conversation went
       well with the food.
       Later, Collins, Devin and Brooks, drove Mack to a secluded park
       in West Palm Beach.  The men walked to a place among some hedges
       and trees to a place where Mack would be concealed from view and
       from where he could teleport unseen by the public.  Only these
       men would be privileged to witness his teleportation, something
       that was rarely done.
       Along the way, Devin asked, “Is it true that you’ve walked on
       the Moon, then on Mars, and later Europa and Pluto, with Prisca
       Lovec, in the humanoid exoform available to the Star People?”
       “We have done so,” said Mack.
       “Some derelict life you live,” said Devin smiling, “some
       cardboard box.”
       “All human life is more limited than you think, Devin.  We are
       all faint particles in the immensity of the universe.  In the
       end, we’re all derelicts in existence, I think.”
       
       Mack and the men paused and watched, in silence, the blossomed
       bushes gently swaying in the breeze.  It was a moment of beauty,
       in the stillness, in the color of the bright sunlight.  Mack
       reflected, that what Devin, Collins, and Brooks didn’t know, was
       that Mack wouldn’t be returning to another part of the Earth’s
       planetary surface. He would leave the universe as they knew it
       and teleport directly into the paradimension where the Star
       People live.
       He would teleport to the Solargate, the great paradimensional
       biodome of the Star People, and would find himself standing on
       one of the portal plates in the forum located there.  He would
       then gaze upon the great gas giant Saturn and the glory of its
       rings as it could be seen through the dome’s massive firmament.
       Shortly after that, he would see his longtime girlfriend,
       Prisca, coming towards him through the crowded forum.  She will
       have been waiting for him for a long time.  It would be good to
       look into her brown eyes and to embrace her.  It would be good
       returning home.
       He would miss living in America.  He had loved and served his
       country for a long time, but now the war for its existence was
       being handed down to other generations of humans and psionics.
       Mack wished them well.  He reflected that without love and
       trust, without community, no nation can continue to exist. And
       that was true of the American nation.
       Mack softly said goodbye to the three men standing under the
       shades of the trees in front of him.  They replied their
       goodbyes back to him.  Mack mentally concentrated upon the act
       of a deep space teleportation.  He visualized standing at his
       place on one of the Solargate’s portal plate’s familiar to him.
       He felt time and space change all around him, and then he was
       gone.
