The Baron, the Visionary, and the Rocket to Mars: Are We Living in a Pre-Written Story?

By Juniper Ravenwood

📚 The Books That Shouldn’t Exist

In 1893, Ingersoll Lockwood published Travels and Adventures of Little Baron Trump. The protagonist: a wealthy, eccentric boy who lives in “Castle Trump” and follows a guide called “the Don” through a time portal in Russia. Three years later, Lockwood released 1900: The Last President—a tale of national unrest, a populist leader sworn in on Fifth Avenue, and riots that echo eerily into 2016. The books vanished from circulation for over a century. Until the internet found them.

⚡ Tesla’s Mirror of Time

Nikola Tesla spent his final years claiming he had built a “communication bridge across time.” Sketched diagrams showed a coil, a mirror, and a frequency labeled Shadow Resonance. When he died in 1943, the Office of Alien Property Custodian seized every scrap. The man tasked with evaluating them? MIT professor John G. Trump—uncle to Donald J. Trump. His official report: “nothing of practical value.” Yet FOIA documents later revealed missing pages and a cryptic memo linking the work to “von Braun, 1952.”

🪐 Von Braun Names the Future

In 1952, ex-Nazi rocket scientist Wernher von Braun wrote Project Mars: A Technical Tale. The story describes the first human colony on the Red Planet governed by an elected leader titled “Elon.” The book was written seventeen years before Elon Musk was born. Von Braun died whispering to a nurse: “The time child will come. He will take you home.”

🧠 The Skeptical Interlude

Let’s pump the brakes for one breath. Lockwood was a satirist; “Trump” was a common name in 1890s New York. Tesla was brilliant but unstable in his later years. John Trump was a diligent engineer cataloging junk. Von Braun loved sci-fi and likely plucked “Elon” from a phone book or biblical reference. Coincidences happen. Patterns are human nature.

📡 But the Frequency Keeps Humming

SpaceX’s 2024 orbital coil test broadcast at the exact resonance Tesla annotated. For three frames on the live stream, Elon Musk’s face reflected inside the coil—like a mirror. The file remains open. The hum persists.

Are we readers… or characters?
