All The Presidents Men Of Gold (Part 58)

Every now and then things get a little out of control with open taps on this ipad.  I tend to use tabs as a proverbial “back burner” when during an investigation I see something relevant — another lead, butt a bit off track from the main thread so I leave it to simmer in cyber space until I can find time to come back to it.  Mostly I eventually just close the tab because it’s simply over whelming butt in this case, I move it to the front burner.  This tab opens at the wiki page of Donald Richie Taylor .  What I saw back when I first came across the name, was that “Donald” is a “Presidential” tie in— the incumbent US President is also “Donald”.  And the middle name “Richie” contains a cryptic “rich chief”... which Donald Trump is... sort of speak.

I back tracked from Taylor’s wiki page to find it’s origin— it began with Martin Caidin via the MacGregor’s recent December 12 post, Afterlife Encounters with Martin Caidin.  I had posted concerning this in this recent series of “Presidential” posts.  Note from Caidin’s wiki page:

Martin Caidin (September 14, 1927 – March 24, 1997)

What stands out is the day of his birthday— 14... given that Trump’s birthday is also on the 14th of June.  And Taylor cropped up as I was investigating a film mentioned on Caidin’s Wiki page:

The Final Countdown,  a 1980 alternate history science fiction film 

Note from Taylor’s wiki page:

• Donald Richie Taylor (December 13, 1920 – December 29, 1998) 

Note the etymology of his surname when broken down into “Tay” and “Lore”, and then it’s obvious other version, Tailor:

• tay (n.): ... Greek thēkē " case to put something in"...PIE root *dhe-"to set, put."
• lore (n.) : ... art or act of teaching,"...  compare learn.
• tailor (n.): ... also "stone-mason"... from tailler "to cut,"...  Latin taliare"to split"

So let’s go back and investigate the notable persons mentioned on Caidin’s wiki page:

  Release date	August 1, 1980

Comparing all the dates above, there are two clusters that stand out the most.  First we have Peck’s date of death, June 12,  that also happens to be the birthday of my step granddaughters , my birthday is June 13, and of course Trump’s June 14, that generates a “June 12(x2), 13, 14/ Date Sequence” pattern-cluster. The second cluster that stands out involves both groups: a “December 30, January 29, February 28, March 27/ Month, Day Sequence” pattern-cluster.  

There are other clusters that emerge from the two groups, as well as meaningful dates, butt I’ll leave it at that ... at least for now.
