Betty Aridjis, after reading the substack, asked if I could post this earlier poem that Homero published in a book in 1990 about the gray whales. As she said, Homero was always prophetic.
GRAY WHALE
Gray whale,
once there is no more left of you than an image
of the dark shape that moved on the waters
in animal paradise,
once there is no memory,
no legend to log your life and its passage
because there is no sea where your death will fit,
This poem by Homero Aridjis, translated by Betty Ferber and George McWhirter, is a lament for what we are losing — and a plea for what we might still preserve. The gray whale is more than a species. It is a sacred messenger, gliding through the ancient corridors of the sea, reminding us of our place within a living, breathing Earth.
“Gray whale,
show us the way to another fate.”
I believe we are being shown that way — not just by the whales of Earth, but by beings in the stars.
Visionary physicist and rocket builder David Adair speaks of a vast sentient intelligence named Pitholem, who is 13.5 billion years old and was born in deep space. David describes her and her family as swimming through the galaxy the way whales swim through the ocean. Just as the gray whales once sang to us from the lagoons of Baja, so too do Pitholem and her kin sing through the stars — guardians of the cosmos, emissaries of peace, teachers of humility.
What hurts the whales hurts the stars. What poisons our waters reverberates through space. And still, there is hope.
Andrew D. Basiago, environmental planner, attorney, time traveler, and 2028 presidential candidate, offers a vision for Earth in harmony with the cosmos. He traveled through time in Project Pegasus, and teleported to Mars with President Obama when they were both young. I believe Andrew will usher in a future where we protect our oceans, free ourselves from fossil fuels, and teleport around the world without planes or pollution. He will declassify technologies and reveal the truth — about Mars, about contact, about the intelligence that watches over us.
We can still choose another fate.
Let us listen to the whales. Let us remember Pitholem.
But Trump's masters will not allow their oceanic genocide to end until every great soul in the water has been slaughtered, their songs' echoes dissolving into the silence of the abyssal tomb.
This holocaust is not about maintenance of economic and geopolitical power.
It is a tactic in the timeless spiritual war into which we are condemned.
Thank you for this powerful and heartbreaking report on the gray whales of Baja. Their mysterious decline is one of the most devastating environmental warnings of our time. I, too, believe these beings are messengers — offering us both awe and accountability.
As I’ve been following the unfolding Buga Sphere saga and its implications for Earth’s evolution, I can’t help but think of Andrew D. Basiago, who is running for President in 2028. Andrew studied environmental planning at Cambridge and has long advocated for planetary stewardship. He’s also known for his participation in Project Pegasus — a classified U.S. program in the 1970s and ’80s that involved time travel and teleportation. As a child, he reportedly traveled to Mars with then-student Barack Obama while attending UCLA.
I believe Andrew would do what today’s leaders won’t: prioritize planetary healing, protect the oceans, enact teleportation to eliminate the need for fossil-fueled air travel, and make the CIA open source so that crucial environmental and extraterrestrial knowledge is no longer suppressed.
We are in a critical moment. These whales — who still seek out human contact — are a reminder that life wants to connect. I think Andrew Basiago is one of the few candidates who will listen to that call and act with both vision and integrity.
Thanks for reading — and thanks for caring about Earth.

GRAY WHALE
Gray whale,
once there is no more left of you than an image
of the dark shape that moved on the waters
in animal paradise,
once there is no memory,
no legend to log your life and its passage
because there is no sea where your death will fit,
I want to set these few words
on your watery grave:
"Gray whale,
show us the way to another fate".

Makes me sad with tears. But what can one expect from the stupidest and most evil creatures in this solar system?
RFK, Jr. should try.
But Trump's masters will not allow their oceanic genocide to end until every great soul in the water has been slaughtered, their songs' echoes dissolving into the silence of the abyssal tomb.
This holocaust is not about maintenance of economic and geopolitical power.
It is a tactic in the timeless spiritual war into which we are condemned.
