Another Update to 'The Black Corridor'
April WHCD Shooting, April 25, 2026

I told my mother this year that she should expect to hear news of some shocking or catatstrophic event around the middle of April. I know she's skeptical of these things, but events that transpired this wekedn served to prove me correct--although, thankfully, it seems that tragedy has been averted for our country, once again. You can thank God, or you can put it all to karma, but, eiether way, it's not unexpected to anyone in the know.
Now:
I'm writing this as an update to "The Black Corridor," the long form essay I wrote seven years ago as an examination of revolutionary births, deaths, tragedies, catastrophes, etc. The ouroboros of a recursive loop, a time of cyclical turbulence and destabilization--roughly the middle of April, Hitler's April 20th birthday in particular, to Walpurgisnacht, April 3oth, the high Unholy Day of Satanists and Black Magicians the world over, when the witches were said, in folklore, to ride their broomsticks to the Brocken, a meeting place in the Herz Mountains in medieval Germany, to indulge in demon revels and the Black Mass, to meet with Lord Satan and kiss his ass ("Osculum Infame," the "Kiss of Shame").
This time period is replete with the vibrations of chaos--New Birth, The Fool (number zero) and The Magician, but also The Tower (trump number 16), a close representation of the violence of The Devil trump, Number Fifteen. The violence and dark, primal energy of these black, chthonic forces emerge during the window of The Black Corridor.
In recent years, we have had the turbulence of the shifts due to the wars in Gaza, Lebanon, regime change in Syria, as well as the new war in Iran--Iran two years ago, on April 13th, launched the single largest ballistic missile attack in history at Israel--an attack largely thwarted by allies that shot the missiles down.
Iran has continued launching missiles at civilian targets in Israel, including striking Tel Aviv.
Last night, at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, shots range out. President Donald Trump, the victim of two other previous assassination attempts, was evacuated from the building by Secret Service. One Federal officer was shot but was not killed. The suspect a man named Cole Allan, was taken into custody, alive

April 25–26, 2026: The Black Corridor Claims Another Shadow
Even as the ink dries on these pages, the Corridor strikes again.On the night of April 25, 2026—deep within the cursed window—President Donald J. Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and senior administration officials were attending the White House Correspondents’ Dinner at the Washington Hilton. Gunshots erupted near a security checkpoint outside the ballroom. Chaos followed: attendees ducked for cover, Secret Service agents swiftly shielded and evacuated the President and his party. Reports describe five to eight loud bangs. An armed suspect was confronted and neutralized at the scene (some accounts say killed, others in custody). One officer was reportedly shot. Trump himself was unharmed but once more forced to confront the barrel of political violence.This marks at least the third documented attempt or major security incident against Trump since 2024. The timing—right in the heart of the Black Corridor, mere days before Hitler’s birthday and Walpurgisnacht—feels almost too precise, as if the vibrations of history refuse to let the pattern rest. A polarizing figure who has already survived bullets in Butler, Pennsylvania (July 13, 2024) and a golf course threat in Florida (September 2024) now faces gunfire again in late April.Whether lone gunman, conspiracy, or symptom of a deeper national fracture, the event adds another bloody entry to the ledger. The ouroboros tightens. The Corridor does not close; it only darkens.
