My October Surprise Dream Ahead of the Midterms

(This article is Part-1 in a series. For Part-2, click here.)

The other night I built myself a tall pastrami sandwich, and while I was building it, drank two bottles of Squaw National beer, inhaled a quart of chocolate ice cream doused in cognac, went out on the porch, smoked a cigar, pulled a blanket over me and dozed off with my wolves.

I dreamed there was a short tunnel between Moscow and Washington. I huddled in it with one of my substack readers. He was there for verification.

We heard voices.

“At the latest by next Saturday.”

“It breaks in the Washington Post.”

“Anonymous source in the State Department.”

“Are we sure Putin’s on board?”

“Germany is promising to send him teams of engineers to straighten out his assembly lines, install AI, all that stuff.”

“Biden has been briefed. I think he understood.”

“It won’t be him. This is State department. Then he can chime in.”

“And Zelensky?”

“Bought and paid for. Twice over. We’ve got CIA watching him 24/7.”

This is about NEGOTIATION, right?”

“Yeah, but with the clear indication that it’s a breakthrough. Along with a ceasefire from both sides.”

“The conference?”

“Brussels. The EU gets their piece. They claim they played a major role.”

“But it’s us. The White House.”

“Don’t worry. We’ve got the press covered. They know what to say.”

“When Biden makes his statement?”

“He’ll do it from the Oval. Standing up. Like he just walked in from a briefing.”

“And Putin?”

“He’ll claim he spearheaded the cease fire. No NATO membership for the Ukraine. No US missiles in the Ukraine. Those were his conditions. Then we get Zelensky to say it was his idea. To save lives. Everybody takes credit. But in the US, it’s the White House and the State Department.”

“And all this is at least ten days before the midterms?”

“Right. PEACE IN THE UKRAINE. Ten days to pump it up, and we sweep the midterms. Majorities in the House and Senate.”

“Then it’ll be over. My hands will stop shaking.”

“You’re such a nervous Nelly. Don’t worry. It’s in the bag.”

“All this talk about nuclear Armageddon has me on edge.”

“Just stay the course. We’re almost there.”

“And the white supremacists?”
