J. K. Rowling started writing Harry Potter in the '90s as a washed up divorced roastie boomer on welfare and is now a household name and billionaire. How come you think it's too late to writing your YA masterpiece?

I write a lot, I've never attempted to publish it, nor ever will. I have a decent job, until I want to quit and live how I want to. Who cares if somebody is famous, much less for writing books I consider to be bad. Good for her I guess, she's still not good.

When I went to Ben Gurion in 2017 to try to mover to Jerusalem, I got stopped at passport control. I had to speak to some passport agent who sent me to some primary detention/waiting area in the lobby. From there, I got sent to some spooky secondary detention in the basement where all the writing was in Thai except for one sign in Hebrew. I assume it said, "If you can read this, you need to say something because you're about to get killed." There was a big plaque on the wall in the military insignia style that said Thai-Israeli Taskforce. Some woman with black hair came in. Other than her hair, she looked exactly like JK Rowling. I think the torture area was just past the next door with the plaque on it. Her and her escort appeared to be doing cocaine nose drops, and I think she was getting psyched up to torture me for a price. The man with her had the strangest blue skin on his hands. It was very much like a famous copy pasta about Antarctica. His skin was as white as snow, blue tinted, and his veins were as blue as the sky. I have never seen anything like it. It was paranormal, for sure. After a few minutes of whispering with her, he belted out a loud guttural utterance, "What if he is the owner?!?!" Her whole demeanor changed from arrogance to shitting herself. They got up and left through a door in the back of the room which was weird because there was no way me or the other people being held in that basement could come and go as we pleased.

I got sent to that dungeon twice because I tried to get to Jersualem again like two days later. When I went down there the first time, one of the guards who I think was Leonardo watched me pour myself a cup of water from a carafe. When my hand was perfectly steady and the pour was as clean as a fountain, he said, "There's been some mistake," and he brought me back upstairs. When I got there a few days later, I was in there for a few hours. Due to some subtle signs, I think I went to Ben Gurion and a copy of Ben Gurion, or two different copies of Ben Gurion. Some of the pothos growing in the lobby was different and there was a TV missing from the wall in the taskforce room. I was down there for quite a while, and I think the actor who played Calogero in A Bronx Tale came in to wait with me. After a while, some man burst in declaring, "This is El Arcón! This is El Arcón!" He brought me back upstairs. El Arcón means "God king" in Hebrew.

In Spanish it means "big chest." Although that is well fitting for me, it's not a drug cartel name like El Mencho or El Chapo. It's Hebrew. I am David's heir. God's covenant of eternal kingship with David's heir is a covenant with me right now.

You can see how my name Jon is to Jonathan as God is to Gedalia. The number 53 comes from my Latin initials JWT being the 10th, 23rd, and 20th Latin letters. The number 33 comes from my Hebrew initials gimel gimel being the 3rd Hebrew letter. The number 77 come from GG being two instances of the 7th Latin letter. This is me and my parents.

After Nebuchadnezzar sacked Jerusalem, he appointed my namesake Gedalia as governor. Gedalia told the Israelites remaining in Judah that it would be ok in Babylon. Some members of the royal family killed him because they did not like what he said. However, it was because the Israelites went into Babylon then that that the King of Judah is also the King of Babylon in the present day. That's me. Israel is about to get nuked.

This is the same mindset I have. If I managed to actually write something of real value, why would I want to give it to this world? Look at Tolkien's work, which he wrote with so much passion. Where is it now? Netflix garbage that doesn't even resemble his vision. Pearls before swine.
