Dear Diary!
Jun 1, 2017: As the first year of Trumps presidency is coming to an end, people are still coming to
grips with the new definition of democracy. Today, he announced that the borders are fully closed
until he had undeniable evidence that all so called terrorists were out of the country. He calls this
purifying the borders. The only exception is if you had a vocational trip pre-planned or if the trip
was explicitly approved and signed by him. I luckily had a trip to Greece planned and already had
tickets for it. The flight is tomorrow. Yay!!!
Jun 2, 2017: On my flight to Athens! Super excited! I will be one of the last people to come out to the
USA! I should be there tomorrow morning a overnight flight saves money on an extra hotel (if you
are able to sleep on a plane which is not a problem for me).
Jun 3, 2017: Something wired is happening. I just woke up. Its the morning. The plane is in the air,
but its completely empty. I called for the flight attendant and no one came. This is probably a
dream I hope
Ok, its the mid-day and still no sign of life I guess Ill sleep more
Aaaaaa!!!! Its the evening now and Im kind of fine, but still feeling pain and dizziness. Oh, I didnt
say what happened: So I fell asleep promptly, but woke up soon after to the sound of an alarm. I was
feeling like the plain was starting to land probably some emergency landing since there was the
alarm. The plane soon landed on water near a sea shore. I followed what I could recall from the safety
guide and somehow got out of the plane. I inflated the raft and started making my way to the shore.
Soon a fleet of big and rather old looking ships (they were wooden and with a huge number of oars on
the sides and with a big sail) approached me. I was taken onboard one ship and the airplane was
towed by the rest. On the ship, they all bowed to me and sang and gave me food. When we reached the
shore, I was given a palace to live in. Its actually much better than any hotel and even home.
Jun 4, 2017: I was dressed in weird stuff and taken out to some circular stage where there was a
huge crowd. I was sat in the middle in a fancy chair. There were a number of speeches and then
something that seemed like voting. Their language was very weird. I did have a pretty advanced voice
translator on my phone (BTW, there was no cell coverage) and I tested that it does work both ways
(they were pretty intrigued by the thing), but I turned off my phone to use only in extreme cases as
there was no way to charge it (unless I invented a solar panel, but I am an artist, not a scientist, so
that would be pretty hard).
I was then given a rolled up piece of thick yellow paper. I had to turn on my phone to read it. By the
end of the day, I could read basic stuff as my memory is descent. The paper basically said that they
welcome me and that they are ready to listen to what I wanted to bring from the higher worlds to the
Greek peoples. I said ok with my phone and that I want to go to my room. After some partying, I got
home (thats what I called the palace) pretty late.
Jun 5, 2017: This morning is pretty relaxed as no one really bothered me that much, so I could
reflect on yesterd

Oh, there is a guy walking towards me. He seems intrigued to my weird white pater and my weird
writing.
I was able to talk to him a bit without my phone as I was quickly able to pick up some of their
language. Its really not that hard. Its really similar to some of the Greek I know from college.
So we talked about a lot of things, but the thing that really struck me was the politics. They apparently
have a real democracy. I wouldnt be surprised at this point about if the founding fathers just copied
and pasted from the ancient Athenian constitution.
He said that their constitution favors the many instead of a few in every political decision. (He also
said something about Document A, but I didnt get that part.) This reminds me of how Trump (and
even previous presidents) passed laws. All they needed is to convince the congress (and in some cases
without even that).
He also said that from Document E, they meet every year to decide if someone is becoming too
powerful (Im looking at you Trump, and Obama, and Bush, and all the other recent presidents) they
would vote them out of power. They them couldnt return to office for 10 years! Thats what America
needs!
Moreover, Document B states that everyone including the Military Treasurer, Commissioner of the
Festival Funds [coolest job ever], Superintendent of Water Supply military officers are elected by
vote, and by vote only. None of that Electoral College BS and no elections by current political
officers! Sounds like its not the American borders that have to be purified, but American politics
itself!
We talked some more and the more I listened, the more I realized that I want to stay here. I have no
family, no relatives, so I can stay here no problem. Im talking like I have a choice here! I mean, I
always purchase one way trips so allow for flexibility of when to return.
Jun 6, 2017: So far, Im lovin it here. I dont have to check my email of Facebook that often
anymore! Its a dream come true sorta. Im now treated like a king. No, no, like a god!
Anyways, from now on, I will only write the important stuff here as I am running out of space. I will
use their paper. See you Dear Diary and happy dreams!
