Are you familiar with the "butterfly effect"?

Wikipedia describes it thusly:

"In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state."

Basically the idea is that the flutter of a butterfly's wings will initiate a sequence of events that will ultimately create a result of dramatic significance, like a war or a cure for cancer.

I believe the most important butterfly effect of recent memory is when Barack Obama derisively mocked Donald Trump on the stage at the 2011 White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

Had Obama not done that, it is highly likely we would currently be living in an Orwellian dystopia where Obama's "fundamental transformation" of the USA was complete.

Instead, Donald Trump was so incensed he decided to run for President, and here we are in 2025, rebuilding America into a Golden Age.

Thanks, Obama, you narcissistic poltroon.

Which is funny because Obunga lauds Trump in his own book. Trumps the guy every American wants to be, I’m paraphrasing, but thats the gist of his comment.

The other example was the US Government telling Twitter to ban Babylon Bee because they made Rachael Levine “Man of the Year”. Musk then called up Seth Dillon (owner of the Bee and Musk’s friend), and verified what happened...and the rest was history.

Another was the "Obama vow" on the beam that would go to the top of the new ONE WTC.

It was Flag Day. June 14th, 2012. In NYC.

Donald Trump's 66th birthday. The real estate man from Queens.

"We" as in "We the corrupt, vile Establishment" masquerading as the "We" of "We the People".

We the People, right BO?

We remember
We rebuild
We come back stronger!

And here WE are!

Donald Trump will not be president, says Barack Obama

Republican Donald Trump will not be president because it’s a “serious job”, President Barack Obama has said.”I continue to believe that Mr Trump will not be president. And the reason is because I have a lot of faith in the American people,” said Mr Obama.

Mr Trump, a billionaire businessman, is the frontrunner in the race to be his party’s choice for the White House. He has won one state primary already, and leads the polls in South Carolina, where Republicans vote on Saturday.

Speaking at the Asean economic summit in California, the president was asked by a reporter about Mr Trump. The electorate will not pick him, said Mr Obama, because “they recognise that being president is a serious job”. “It’s not hosting a talk show or a reality show, it’s not promotion, it’s not marketing, it’s hard. It’s not a matter of pandering and doing whatever will get you in the news on a given day.”

Mr Trump responded by saying it was a compliment to be criticised by a president who had done so much damage to the country.

Who will hop on board with me, to fly?

Purim time:

“Basically the idea is that the flutter of a butterfly’s wings will *initiate a sequence of events that will ultimately* create a result of dramatic significance, like a war or a cure for cancer.”

That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. ~ Neil Armstrong

Butterfly... “parpar” is a word I’d looked up some years back.

w/ English pronunciations:

https://www.pealim.com/dict/3787-parpar/

Kleins

פַּרְפָּר m.n. NH butterfly. [Prob. derived from פרפר ᴵ (= to flutter).] Derivatives: פַּרֽפָּרִי, פַּרֽפְּרָנִי.
פרפר ᴵ to break, to crumble, to crush.
— Pilp. — Pilp. - פִּרֽפֵּר he broke, crushed, crumbled. Prob. derivative: פַּרֽפֶּרֶת. [Pilp. of פרר ᴵ.]
פרפר ᴵᴵ to shake, shatter.
— Pilp. - פִּרְפֵּר 1 he shook, shattered (a hapax legomenon in the Bible, occurring Job 61:12 in the form וַיְפַרֽפְּרֵנִי); NH 2 he fluttered.
— Hith. - הִתֽפַּרֽפֵּר 1 (vulg.) he bunked, dawdled, loitered. 2 he behaved licentiously. [Pilp. of פרר ᴵᴵᴵ.] Derivatives: פִּרְפּוּר, prob. also פַּרֽפָּר.

I’m not assuming that readers can read those entries, but that’s really not necessary. It’s the visual effect of the word פרפר...

What I had found interesting was the spelling repetition in conjunction with the visual of a butterfly fluttering.

It has... an effect, more specifically in that

(פ + ר) pei (פ) and resh (ר) are also the same two consonants of the word “Pur”, the basis of the word Purim, *the plural of* Pur.

The middle letter of Pur is a vowel.. the vav, the letter of connection, “and”.

Thus, a pei (פ) and (ו) a resh (ר)

Hebrew is read right to left, “Pur” (פור). A pei and a resh.

“Pur” is another member of the “286” camp, like Adam Rutherford’s Displacement and Rectification factors in the Great Pyramid, the two astronauts’ time in space, the name of the vessel that stranded them in the first place for 286 days.. “Calypso” [קליפסו], meaning to cover, hide, conceal. 🤔

286, aka the “Crosstown Expressway” in Corpus Christi TX, the “vertical” beam of the cross of highways being route 358, “Messiah”. 🤔

Butterfly effect, so much PR, פרפר פרפר פרפר

...פור פור פור פור פור פור

Purim is the plural of Pur, a pei and a resh, a pei and a resh...

It’s like the dainty little jingling of

Exodus 28:34 A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe round about.

The Megillah (the roll, scroll) IS the account of the butterfly effect rolling along like a tsunami across the sea that no one sees because the little ripples are nothing seemingly important, like:

Mordecai sitting at the gate... Haman promoted when the plotters were eliminated... Esther winning a beauty contest, the king having insomnia... 🦋 🦋 🦋

***

Personally, to select the butterfly to match with the narrative, I went with the Monarch.

A butterfly bush really attracts them. Makes perfect sense because what’s in a name:

Buddleja davidii

“בודלית דוד”

“שיח הפרפרים”

https://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%91%D7%95%D7%93%D7%9C%D7%99%D7%AA_%D7%93%D7%95%D7%93

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddleja_davidii

Compare “from a butterfly bush”:

משיח הפרפרים

Messiah of the butterflies.

You’ve really got to be a butterfly to be able to join in and ride along.

“Basically the idea is that the flutter of a butterfly’s wings will *initiate a sequence of events that will ultimately* create a result of dramatic significance, like a war or a cure for cancer.”

🌊 what I mean?

Just epic. I occasionally come out of my cocoon to read these.
