Where's Waldo

Prominent members of society are missing. Where are they?

May 2025 Note - This paper was originally written in August 2024. Although it’s still relevant, some of the people mentioned in this piece have come somewhat back into focus. However, they’re not nearly as relevant as they were prior to 2020. Thank you for taking the time to read it!

Where’s Waldo is a series of books in which the reader has to find Waldo hidden among images of people doing a variety of things at various locations.

Hollywood should create a movie of “Where’s Waldo,” starring Tom Hanks.

This paper isn’t as timely as I’d like. It would have had a much bigger impact if I had written it any time within the last four years. The topic is still relevant and I hope to be able to lead you to question my theory as I work through it. Some of you may have already come to this conclusion on your own.

While it might have been hard to see at the time, Covid brought about a lot of changes, as well as a lot of weirdness. Our lives have been like the Parable of the Boiling Frog:

Beginning with Covid and continuing through the last four years, we have slowly been conditioned to accept that some people just aren’t as relevant as they once were. We don’t miss them, if we ever even think of them.  

Celebrities and politicians who once dominated the news were diagnosed with Covid and forced to quarantine. They were excused from publicity for extended periods of time while they recovered. We didn’t think anything of it because it was common to quarantine when you were sick. Beginning in 2020, many prominent people were out of public view. If a celebrity or politician was seen in public, they were masked up to the point that they were unrecognizable.

Hollywood was hit hard by the coronavirus. California issued a mandatory stay at home order on March 19, 2020 that continued until January 25, 2021, a full 10 months later.

Hollywood wasn’t a critical sector with essential employees. The mandatory stay-at-home order forced movie production studios to shut down. In addition to actors, makeup artists, production crews, and anyone else associated with film-making was affected. In early 2020 Glamour reported that the Met Gala and Tribeca Film Festival were cancelled, and Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, and Stephen Colbert suspended production of their late-night shows.

Our internal stress barometers were so high that pondering the lives of celebrities was moved to the back burner. Gone were tabloid magazines in grocery store check-out lanes littered with pictures of celebrities and their latest drama. We didn’t miss it. The paparazzi who once invaded the privacy of celebrities were suddenly out of work because everyone in Hollywood was forced to stay at home. We slowly became accustomed to it. Forget the fact that it’s been four years and we still don’t see tabloids or hear about paparazzi chasing people down. Hollywood, like DC in January 2021, has become a ghost town.

Shortly after the pandemic was allowed to end, and at a time when the entertainment industry should have been recovering, Hollywood took another hit when the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) strike began on July 14, 2023. According to Harper’s Bazaar the SAG members joined members of the Writers Guild, who had been on strike since May, on the picket line. Not since 1960 had both unions who represent actors and screenwriters gone on strike at the same time. The strike was the longest strike ever against Hollywood studios, and the second-longest actors strike in history.

SAG members were fighting for better pay and working conditions due to the changing industry from streaming platforms (Netflix, HBO Max, etc.). They were also fighting to control, “The unregulated use of AI, which could be used to reproduce an actor’s likeness or performance.” One actor told Deadline, “We see what’s coming. They can’t pretend we won’t be used digitally or become the source of new, cheap, AI-created content for the studios.” That’s an interesting statement. Think about it. Actors were concerned that movies would be made using their computer-generated likeness.

It was August 2017 when I read a twisted, dark Twitter thread concerning the actor, Tom Hanks. I was completely skeptical, as you probably are. After all, he is known as “America’s Dad” - Forrest Gump, Mr. Rogers. But if you’re curious, you might want to spend some time digging into the rumors surrounding Tom Hanks. Those stories woke me up to Hollywood. If Washington DC is the swamp, Hollywood is the sewer.

Ironically, Tom Hanks and his wife, Rita Wilson, were two of the first celebrities diagnosed with Covid. The conspiracy theories erupted after this announcement, and many of them tied back to the stories in that Twitter thread. Tom Hanks posted a picture of himself and Rita Wilson on Instagram on March 12, 2020. 

After years of posting to Instagram, Tom Hanks didn’t post at all from September 2020 through June 2022. It wasn’t until July 9, 2022, that he posted another picture of himself. During this period of Instagram silence, Tom Hanks appeared in three movies; Elvis (which he was filming when diagnosed with Covid), Geppetto, and A Man Called Otto.

Rita Wilson, Tom Hanks wife, added to the Instagram strangeness by posting a selfie at the beach on June 29, 2020.

This picture only fueled the conspiracy theories. More and more people started talking about what was really going on with the Hanks couple. It happened after someone zoomed in and noticed that it wasn’t the beach reflected in Rita’s sunglasses.

The comments under the post were brutal.

Don’t take my word for it, see for yourself. This post can still be found on Rita Wilson’s Instagram page. Hollywood is weird. Why hasn’t she deleted that post?

Tom Hanks is just one example of a celebrity who stepped out of the limelight during Covid and has not yet resurfaced to the level he was prior to 2020. IMDB provides a list of A-List actors and Actresses. Look through the lists and think of how often you’ve heard about these people compared to their popularity before 2020. What happened to Oprah Winfrey, Ellen DeGeneres, Kathy Griffin, Will Smith, Johnny Depp, Jim Carrey? Regardless if they were diagnosed with Covid or taking a hiatus from acting, they are no longer relevant.

Celebrities aren’t the only ones missing. After the certification of the fraudulent election on January 6th, members of our government became awfully quiet. This was unexpected since they were successful in seizing control of the country. They should have gotten right to work implementing their agenda and streaming their Marxist bullshit all over the television. Instead, we had the war in Ukraine, the Chinese Spy Balloon, attacks on Israel, and one distraction after another to stop us from questioning where they were.

Not everyone views politics as a hobby yet more people are entering The Great Awakening every day. Many are unaware of what took place during President Trump’s first term. Life and the media distracted them from learning about Russiagate, Obamagate, and the characters involved. People are now starting to understand why it was vital for us to be convinced that our democracy would end if Trump wasn’t impeached, jailed, or worse. The names James Comey (former FBI Director), John Brennan (former CIA Director), James Clapper (former Director of National Intelligence) may not mean anything to some people, but they play an important role in our history.

California Congressman Adam Schiff is another character who has played an important role in our history. You may know him as “Pencil Neck,” thanks to President Trump. Schiff was hell-bent on destroying Donald Trump and he played a prominent role in Russiagate, Obamagate, the J6 Committee, and both impeachments of Donald Trump. It was his life’s mission to destroy President Trump and keep the American people from enjoying the presidency of the man who the majority of us chose. Despite his party stealing the 2020 election and taking over power of our country, Schiff seems to have lost his voice.

From information I gathered, Adam Schiff appeared on various Sunday news shows a minimum of 20 times in 2019. Although the pandemic in 2020 affected his appearances, his absence in the years following don’t make sense considering his party supposedly had control of our government. Although this is by no means an exhaustive list, after checking past episodes of Face the Nation, Meet The Press, and This Week over the past six years Adam Schiff made the following appearances on these shows:

Why was Adam Schiff no longer appearing on the Sunday news shows after his party supposedly took control?

Adam Schiff served as a Congressman from California for 28 years, being first elected in 1996. He is a career politician who served as a member of the Intelligence Committee since 2011, and was its chairman from 2019-2022. During the first Trump impeachment trial, Schiff, as Chair of the Intelligence Committee, read what he said was a transcript of Trump’s call with President Zelensky of Ukraine. According to The Federalist, Schiff “made up his own version of a transcript between President Donald Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart to fit the false narrative being peddled by Democrats and many in the media to frame the president for a crime that never happened.” Schiff later called his version of the transcript a “parody.” On June 21, 2023, the House of Representatives censured Schiff for misleading the American public with "falsehoods, misrepresentations and abuses of sensitive information.” In January 2023, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy formally removed Schiff from the Intelligence Committee. Schiff created a false narrative – and read it on public television - that was used to frame the President of the United States over a crime that never happened. Is that a crime?

We know that there is a two-tiered justice system in this country. We have witnessed it many times over the last two decades. When President Trump came into office, we watched the Deep State attempt to wield their power over him. Luckily for our country, he fought back in ways we couldn’t have imagined. In June 2021, Politico reported that Adam Schiff called for an investigation following a report that his phone records, along with others, were seized. The Department of Justice subpoenaed Apple for the phone records and Apple informed members of the Intelligence Committee via email. Schiff reportedly told Politico that Intelligence Committee members and staff thought the email was spam. (If this is true, and members of the Intelligence Committee can’t tell the difference between a spam email and an email from Apple notifying them that their phone records were seized, then these idiots are clearly not qualified to handle our national security.) According to the Politico piece, the basis of the subpoena was the Department of Justice’s attempt at determining who was leaking confidential information to journalists and others. It makes you wonder what else they were looking for and it’s refreshing to consider the type of data that was seized from those phones.

Was Adam Schiff instrumental in the surveillance of President Trump, either directly or by covering it up after the fact? If you’re new to The Great Awakening you may not be aware of a very important press conference that was held in March 2017, just two months after Trump was sworn in as President. Former Congressman Devin Nunes informed the press that he had been made aware that improper surveillance had occurred of President Trump and the Trump Team (aka Obamagate). They were spying on the President.

Nunes makes it clear that the surveillance was not related to Russia. That didn’t matter to Adam Schiff. Listen to what Schiff says in his rebuttal press conference:

Schiff clung to the Russian conspiracy like his life depended on it. Maybe it did.

There is no shortage of clickbait on social media concerning stories about members of our government who have already been tried and executed. While it is impossible for us to refute these claims (no one on social media who is talking about these topics is “in the know,” regardless what they tell you), I personally do not believe that to be true. However, it’s clear to me that life in America is different than it was before 2020. In J6-A Different Perspective, I point out certain facts surrounding the events of January 6, 2021 and the theory that perhaps members of our government were detained on that day. I’m not implying that Schiff was detained on January 6th, but I do believe that things were put in motion for that to eventually occur.

Schiff is not the only member of our government who is less relevant than they were before the stolen election of 2020. The once vocal voices of Amy Klobuchar, Eric Swawell, Donna Brazile, Elizabeth Warren, Mazie Hirono, Jerry Nadler, and Chuck Schumer are much quieter. We don’t hear of them nearly as much as we used to. Since they are supposedly in control of the country, I would expect them to act more like Chuck Schumer did in January 2017. Schumer couldn’t help but flaunt his arrogance when he said, “You take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday to get back at ya.”

They couldn’t help but cram their self-importance down our throats. The American people chose President Trump, and Schumer made a blatant threat against him. He displays such an air of confidence in this interview. What happened? Where is he? I heard enough from Chuck Schumer in my lifetime. I’m grateful to anyone who made him stop talking.

So much happened during President Trump’s first term and we believed that they got away with it. But did they? It’s safe to say that three of the most instrumental players in the coup against President Trump – and the United States – were CIA Director John Brennan, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden. The following are screenshots of interviews of each of them from mid-2020.

It’s possible that white bookshelves are popular décor for politicians, but it’s equally possible that they are all in the same place, whether they want to be or not. At first, I thought it must be a stock Zoom background, but then I noticed John Brennan’s book, “Undaunted” in the background of his picture. All three pictures have white bookshelves with different items on the shelves. HGTV calls that “staging,” I think. (I have to say that I find genuine joy in Barack Obama’s face. He looks wrecked. As he should. Now he knows how we felt during his presidency.)

In addition to sewer rat celebrities and swampy politicians, people who we thought were on the right side of this coup also became quiet since the stolen 2020 election. Many of them are people who were high-ranking members of Trump’s Cabinet: Mark Meadows, Steve Mnuchin, Rick Perry, Mick Mulvaney, John Ratcliffe. Do you think they are sitting by idly waiting for Trump to return to office? Could they be working on something else?  

Some politicians are intentionally missing since their retirement. According to Axios, 27 Republican Congressmen, and 4 Republican Senators retired in 2020. Compare that with the 7 Democrat Congressmen and 1 Senator and it seems rather significant. Attorney Sidney Powell introduced us to the phrase, “fraud vitiates everything,” meaning it is “void from the beginning” or “invalid from the outset.” Were the Republicans aware that the 2020 election would be fraudulent so they chose to retire rather than be wrapped up in the fraud?  

As always, this is all speculation, but I hope it makes you think about what you have experienced and opens your mind to another side of the story. We need to remain hopeful and positive. Don’t waste time and energy being upset that we’ve had to go through this period of time. It’s been long and it has sucked, but it’s a historical period in our country’s history and we are all here at this moment for some reason.

He told us, “The Best Is Yet to Come” – don’t doubt him now.
