Jeffrey Epstein and Me

Author's Notes:
The links are not essential to reading this story but I hope you find them informative and entertaining.
When I started out writing this book its working title was Donald Trump And Me. The latest developments surrounding the case of Jeffrey Epstein have forced themselves into my mind and into relevancy.
There is a man named Donald Trump driving a taxi somewhere in an alternate universe, in an alternate New York City type metropolis.
That Universe is not quite parallel to or in sync with the reality we know.
People don't quite look like they do in the New York City we know. History and events aren't quite linear in the way we perceive things to be.
So this book is not about President Donald Trump. Though Jeffrey Epstein has a big role in this story. there are other unsavory characters. One character in the story is named Donald Trump. In spite of his lowly station in the socio-economic order of things this DonaldTrump has been blessed with what you could call survivors' good luck. His swimmer's physique is impervious to pancakes drowned in maple syrup, bacon, home fried potatoes, burgers and cherry cheesecake. He's got a thick head of salt and pepper hair, a somewhat scruffy beard and piercing green eyes that some women find irresistible.
Lucky dog, he can smoke five cigarettes today , half a pack tomorrow three cigarettes the next day and not touch a smoke for a month after. He is impervious to chemical addictions. A street drug called bazooka is decriminalized, at least for orange people- not quite legal as is caffeine which is also decriminalized in the six counties of The Autonomous Great Metropolis of New Amsterdam, (a Free Associated Territory of the United States), where Trump was born, was raised, lives. He's never lived anywhere else except for his brief residence at Fort Jackson South Carolina and a three month stay in Venezuela with his wife (now ex) and her relatives there.
Trump seems to stumble through life on the edge of a precipice and on the edge of criminality but he never quite falls off. He means well a lot of the time like when and how he helped his friend Albanian Louie keep his hack license.
Julius Kolisnychenko (aka Julius What's His Name, aka Orange Julius) is another taxi driver who's important to our story. He's also part of the Vietnam War generation. By virtue of his performance at his pre induction physical that convinced. an Army psychiatrist he was a psychopath Julius managed to duck Mandatory Universal Military Service. He's been driving a taxi "since Flip was Geraldine." He has large hands. Kolisnichenko has green hair which is not unusual, something like red hair in our world. Both are full blooded Euro-Americans, proud of their bright orange complexions.
Because the two universes are not quite parallel history might appear distorted just as it was in the book and movie Gangs of New York.
Most of this story takes place on the island of Manahatta and the scenery is dominated by Brutalist Architecture.
A misfit. Black Sheep of the family. Never figured out what I was going to be when I grow up. Mainly I've done jobs no one wants to do but I've known for a long time that I have a book in me.
I drove a taxi all over my city from one end to the other and probably up and down every single block. I must have had hundreds of conversations and interactions (including a few close calls) with New Yorkers while taking them where they wanted to go.
Sometimes I made wrong turns and sometimes I misunderstood the instructions I had received and ended up taking people where they didn't want to go.
I was a "child protection" investigator for ten years. I was inside the homes of hundreds of families and learned their stories. I had an impact on them just by being there. I was working in that job under Mayor Giuliani and during Bloomberg's first term when the Administration for Children's Services, the very name of it, struck terror in the hearts of New York City's poor, immigrant and Black communities.
As often as not I found myself trying to protect children and families from the system and was harassed by management for trying to do my job "by the book."
Having grown up in the projects I did not need this experience to learn that poor people love their children and struggle to do what's best for them. I'll tell you the truth. Working in Emergency Children's Services I started to question the atheism I had always claimed due to the profound faith that I saw in people who from the looks of things had every reason to be angry with God.
My parents raised me in Queensbridge and Ravenswood projects to have sympathy and empathy for the underdog.
One night long ago I was driving taxi during Fleet Week. The Navy was in town. I got into a conversation with a movie director from Buenos Aires and I had a moment of self revelation. I am a cosmopolitan. I felt I had more in common with this Argentinian movie director than I had with the American sailors who had recently shelled villages in Lebanon.
So, I'm 73 years old. I don't have two dimes to rub together. Yet technology makes it possible for me to publish a book.
Trump the cabbie, is trying to get his hands on the $921,000 that his friend Louie Xhaxahka and two confederates had embezzled from an Israeli-American defense contractor. So is the man who has been trying to track this money down for 13 years. One by one the three embezzlers lose their lives to violence. The money is buried somewhere and the investigator who has been trying to track down the money has decided to go rogue. He stumbles upon a pedophile/ephibophile prostitution ring involving a Who's Who of local and national power.
While this book is inspired by my real life experiences, it is a work of fiction. The setting is in another dimension, one I can only try to imagine. Donald Trump is a character in several works of fiction. We know that Donald Trump is President of the United States and not a thin grey maned and bearded taxi driver with a swimmer's physique. This taxi driver has dreams. One of his dreams is to write a screenplay that would be snapped up by Hollywood. He meets an editor from a major publisher who suggests that he start out writing a novel and that if it were successful the book might become the movie he dreams of authoring.
We know that Donald Trump and his friend Sheldon Adelson are casino owners, not penny ante poker aficionados.
- In some cases, there are actual events or New York folklore involving deceased public figures' extragalactic doppelgangers, presented in fictionalized form. Ghislane Maxwell, daughter of Mossad asset Robert Maxwell is said to be a procurer who supplied young girls for Epstein and his friends to rape.
The setting of the story resembles the New York City we know, but in fact, it is in a universe that is almost parallel to ours.
