CoViD-19 can’t stop growing global tsunami of migrants! Where the hell are they coming from?

Incomplete (tip-o-the iceberg) list of main-stream-news links about global immigrant/border operations from August 2020 to the beginning of September 2020.

Idaho PBS reveals refugees from Democratic Republic of Congo are now one of the main groups arriving in Idaho.

In the state of Michigan, National Guard personnel are being used to test migrant farm workers for CoViD-19.  This is the result of the state Department of Health and Human Services issuing an emergency order at the beginning of August, requiring that all agricultural and food processing workers who are living in migrant housing camps must be tested for CoViD-19 within 48 hours of entering the state.  The program is taxpayer funded and involves the Michigan National Guard because apparently a lot of Guard personnel speak Spanish: “We do have a large migrant population as well in our community, because of our influx of migrant workers during the summer and fall months. So having somebody who does speak Spanish is important because it gives them access too.”-Heather Alberda, Ottawa County Department of Public Health

On 07AUG2020, the U.S. Coast Guard captured this boat with 16 illegals from Dominican Republic, near Puerto Rico. The illegals were sent back to their home country.

Sky Cities still arriving! Climate change, holograms, End Times?

13 April 2020 / 03:56 (UTC-07 Tango 06) 25 Farvardin 1399/19 Sha’ban 1441/21 Geng-Chen 4718

“And I saw The Holy City, New Jerusalem, descending from Heaven from beside God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.”-Revelation 21:2, Aramaic Bible

They’ve been happening since the end of 2010, Sky Cities making appearances over coastal cities in Southern China.  The most recent was over Yangtei City, in August 2019, and even got the attention of the official communist government TV news known as CCTV:

Here’s a May 2018 video from another communist government TV channel, CGTN.  What looks like a giant apartment building “near Beach #1 in Qingdao” in the background, it seems to appear on the ground:

The government controlled news media dismisses these as mirages.  I’ve seen mirages of water caused by heat waves rising off hot desert roads or dry lake beds, but they are not ‘steady’ like these.  The mirages of water I’ve seen are wavy, from the heat rising, and it’s that wavy-ness stirring up the air molecules that give the effect of water on the road or dry lake bed, and they don’t last long, simply  shifting your perspective can make them go away.  I have never seen a steady, sharp edged mirage that reaches up into the sky and lasts for long periods of time!

Here’s a video from 2011, Xin’an river, which looks to be near flood stage.  The problem I have with it is that it’s hard to tell which is the Sky City and which is the real city, there’s no explanation in the video:

CGTN video, March 2016, skyline appears just above the water along the port of Dalian in Liaoning Province:

One possibility is the melting of glaciers is not only flooding the oceans with fresh water, but permeating the air with humidity.  However, if you compare the images in the sky with the landscape on the ground they are very different.  The sky cities appear to me as if they were megalithic blocks, something you’d see in an early science fiction silent film movie about a stark future-city.   Is this what inspired the megalith builders of the super ancient times?

Is it possible that increased humidity in the air can project an image of one city over another city?  China is full of what the ‘western’ news media calls ghost cities; giant cities built but never populated with people, and many were built in the desert regions of China:

In the June 2018, Australian Broadcasting Company’s (ABC News) video you can see some of the buildings in those ghost cities look like blocky megaliths.  Also note that there are lines of unfinished buildings with construction cranes still present.  In some of the videos of the Sky Cities you can barely make-out what looks like construction cranes.  Again, is it possible that atmospheric conditions caused by Climate Change is projecting ghost cities from desert regions into the sky above coastal cities?

In this video, from Xinhua, a ghost city in China’s Inner Mongolia with fog wrapping the lower half of the buildings, it look just like the Sky Cities that appear over water in other parts of China:

Note that at the beginning of this article I pointed out that the first Sky Cities appeared in 2010, that’s about ten years after the construction of the ‘ghost cities’ was started, that’s enough time for many of the buildings to be nearly finished.

Are they human made holograms?  Hologram technology has advanced so far that now they can even create the sensation of touch and sound!  Here’s a November 2019 explainer from C/NET:

The C/NET report shows you how far hologram tech has come in just the past two years.  Here’s an NBC News explainer about how holograms work, as of January 2018:

For those of you who are too religious, natural mirages or human made holograms do not refute End Times signs, it could back them up with scientific explanation.

The natives of the Southwestern area of United States not only talk of Sky Cities, some of them still live in Pueblos.  That’s correct, that plateau of protruding rock in the above pic has a city on top of it!  It’s known as the Acoma Pueblo.

Note the blocky megalithic appearance of the mud-brick buildings, from a distance. Unfortunately, as you’ll see in this official New Mexico video, Acoma is now a tourist trap Sky City:

For the native people of the U.S. Southwest, Pueblos came into use due to a need to escape climactic factors and even competing humans.   A good example are the Anasazai who once lived on the flat lands and built their cities partially buried in the ground, but then abandoned them.  Anasazai myth says their ancestors lived in the ground like ants, until the sky gods told them it was safe to come out.  Archaeologists think the Anasazai civilization was ended by a catastrophic climate change (drought), and that the survivors split-up and started building in the hills and on plateaus.

The Navajo talk about The Fifth World.  It is not the same as the Mesoamerican Fifth World, this appears to be the Sky World.  It is above the ground where humans and other animals live (Fourth World), and below the place where the Soul (Spirits) of Living Things live (heaven?), and above that The Place of Melting (source of creation?).

The Fifth World (sky?) is connected to multiple End Time events in that it appears to be the battle ground between the Spirit World and the Fourth World of animals.  Humans/animals don’t like living on Ground (Fourth World) and yearn to live in Sky (Fifth World), but the Spirits of heaven (Spirit World) routinely interfere, even saying “What are you doing here? This is not your country.”  

This book was first published in 1909.  Notice the swastika.  It is ignorantly called a good luck symbol because the Sanskrit word very loosely translates that way, but I believe it was an Earth/Sky symbol for many ancient tribes.  For the Navajo it represented the four worlds (I think are also the Sacred Mountains, cardinal directions, although many people believe the Sacred Mountains are real mountains) of humans/animals and lower beings living underneath the Fifth World of Sky.

In the above pic I believe the semi-circle Kachina surrounding the swastika is Sky.

Since World War Two, Native Americans have altered their swastikas to be politically correct, making them look more like pinwheels.

Ingenious or desperate?

A big water/fuel tank turned into a boat. Intercepted in 1999.

For more than five decades Cubans who don’t like living on their island country have sailed, some even tried swimming, to the United States.  This is partly because the U.S. Cuban Adjustment Act (CAA) of 1966 ‘fast tracks’ citizenship for any Cuban who can make it to U.S. territory.

U.S. policy is to sink all intercepted migrant boats.

Looks like simple 2×4 construction. Intercepted in 2016.

Even since the year 2000, Cubans still come up with ingenious, or maybe desperate, ways of getting to the United States.

Not sure what this is. Intercepted in 2016.

Wood planks strapped to 55 gallon drums. Intercepted in 2015.

My favorite. A 1951 Chevy truck mounted on empty 55 gallon drums.  The riders actually attempted to drive it to the U.S.  The U.S. Coast Guard intercepted the boat-truck in July 2003.

The truck-boat plugged along at eight miles per hour and made it just 40 miles from U.S. shores before sinking.

You might have seen one driving around Miami, but it’s not the one that sank.  A Florida Chevy dealer was so inspired by the effort of the Cubans that he made a much better-working replica.  As of May 2019, the dealer was trying to sell it for just under $40-thousand!  

But wait!  In 2004 two Cuban families tried to drive to Florida in their 1959 Buick.  The families had tried to do the same thing in the 1990s but their Buick developed electrical problems and they turned back. The U.S. Coast Guard ended their 2004 attempt, catching them before they could reach the shore, sending them back to Cuba, and their classic car to the bottom of the ocean.

But two failed attempts didn’t stop the people in the Buick, they tried again in 2005, this time in a floating 1948 Mercury stretched taxi.

As is U.S. Coast Guard policy, and despite the boat being a classic car, the Cuban taxi-raft was sunk.
