Driving Toward American Twilight
Written by Goro, August 21, 2018
The end, it seems, is here. The back-to-back events of the Genoa bridge collapse (Aug 14) and the passing of Aretha Franklin (Aug 16) gave us that ominous message. The end… of what?

America.
How literal? That’s still open to interpretation. But what happens to America when it loses its soul?
After the death of the “Queen of Soul” (Aretha Franklin) that’s become a salient question. We are dealing with the soul of America, with emphasis on Washington, the District of Columbia…
In 2018, the year of the PyeongChang Olympics, the word “soul” points to “Seoul” – the capital of South Korea – especially with “Korea” evoking “Kore/Core” synonymous with “soul”.
“Seoul” means “capital city” in Korean. “Queen of Soul” thus implies “Queen of the capital city” or “Queen of Columbia“, Washington DC. (Quick history: “Columbia” was the primary female symbol of the United States before the Statue of Liberty largely took her place by around 1920.)
Passing of Aretha Franklin, passing of America, especially with the bridge collapse in Genoa setting the stage only a couple of days earlier. Genoa, after all, is the birthplace of Columbus, the official discoverer of America and the origin of the name “Columbia”.
Two key themes in all this:
- Cars: Aretha Franklin grew up and died in Detroit the “Motor City”, the center of the US automobile industry. The Genoa bridge collapse involved roughly 40 cars falling from the bridge, coinciding with a car terror attack in London on the same day.
- Qixi bridge: Aretha Franklin passed away the day before the Qixi festival aka the Chinese Valentines Day or Double Seventh Festival (7th day of 7th month on lunar calendar) traditionally when two lovers separated by the Milky Way are reunited via a bridge formed by magpies. The romantic legend is celestially expressed by the three stars of the Summer Triangle, resonating with “Detroit” (Franklin’s home city) implying “de troit” or “of three (triangle)” in French.
.
The star representing the magpie bridge is Deneb in the “Swan” constellation Cygnus. Aretha Franklin having been such a musical figure, and dying, we can’t help but put them all together and get: “Swan song” i.e. the final performance/event before… the end
Similarly, Aretha Franklin’s passing brings to mind the saying “it ain’t over till the fat lady sings“…

Well, the “fat lady” (no disrespect intended but she was a big woman) has now sung her “swan song”. Again… the end.
The end of America.
But how literal? Let’s take a closer look at the “car” theme. There’s just something about it.
Remember, Aretha & Genoa were preceded by the ferocious “Carr Fire” in California (late July) and accompanied by a non-stop series of big headlines going really negative on Tesla, Elon Musk’s car company (July-August). Plus, “This Is America“…
The music video by Childish Gambino (Donald Glover) released back in May this year and discussed in our earlier article The Sunken Place was apparently about America going to hell, prominently featuring (during the final “hell” scene) 13 “dead” cars (= #13 of the Tarot “cards” signifying “death”).



“Cars” signifying “hell” in “This Is America”… confirming the “end of America” somehow involving “cars”.
October figures into this as well to give us a timing clue (confirmation).
Columbus Day is October 8th.
October 5th is the target launch date of BepiColombo, a Mercury mission (plus Venus flybys) jointly by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).

This is the exact date we pinpointed in our previous articles, initially as potentially Meghan’s pregnancy announcement and later as the birthday of Hellboy. Once again, “Hell“.

Subsequently we found October 10, 2018 highlighted in The Shape of Water… once again having to do with birth(canal) as well as Disclosure. (The Shape of Water one Best Picture at this year’s Oscars.)




The Ring of Fire is literally the “shape of water” (Pacific Ocean) and “ring of fire” is a phrase associated with the pain of giving birth. This points back to the continuing threat of mega quakes – or “Birthquakes” – looming on the horizon and as discussed in Lucifer’s Birthquake even the possibility of the “Big One” is found entangled with October via the inferior conjunction of Venus coming up when the planet turns into a Morning Star or “Lucifer” (~October 26).

Let’s end this doom & gloom article with something a bit more positive or “big picture”…
The big picture around here, as you know, is the “New World shift” increasingly taking place around us right now, going from America to Mars in the 21st century when history/time ends. It is in this context that we’ve been closely following Elon Musk and his companies SpaceX and Tesla since as early as 2012 (summarized in New Space, New World).

Musk’s Tesla Roadster launched into space on SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy back in February (a car flying in space!) crossed the orbit of Mars in mid July just weeks before our close encounter with Mars (late July). The combination of 1) Musk/SpaceX/Tesla, 2) car, 3) Mars, and 4) orbit/threshold crossing… pretty much spells out the “New World shift”, though the role of cars remains less than clear.

As the new New World rises for the new phase of mankind, the old New World falls and with it the old paradigm of human existence on every level. It’s a passing of the torch, seemingly represented by “cars” in 2018. The “end of America” thus implies the “birth of a Martian New World”. Death and birth together a la the phoenix.
Meghan Markle’s “Martian baby” pregnancy and/or a mega “Birthquake” in the Ring of Fire (California?) in/around October would be part of this same narrative, further signaling the momentous shift taking place for all mankind.
