02APR2024 White House presser, Admiral (retired) John Kirby gets frustrated with the barrage of questions concerning Israel’s attack on the Iranian embassy in Syria, supposed U.S. aid for Gazans, but especially about the execution of World Central Kitchen workers by Israel. I did edit this presser to show only those questions concerning the above mentioned.
Israel bombs Iranian embassy in Syria (at least six or seven people killed), in violation of the 1949 Geneva Conventions, the 1973 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Crimes against Internationally Protected Persons, and the Vienna Conventions on Diplomatic and Consular Relations.
Department of State Daily Press Briefing, 01APR2024, response to questions about Israeli attack in Syria:
On 22MAR2024, my middle daughter Aryssa, along with my dog Struppi (and I) took a hike through the thawing Cherry Springs Nature Area.
There was a heavy-wet snow storm a few weeks prior, causing power poles and trees across the region to snap, the final spur of the North Trail was blocked by downed trees:
Carrington Event=A large solar storm that took place at the beginning of September 1859, destroying the existing electrical infrastructure (telegraph communication lines) in parts of Europe and the United States.
EMP= Electro-Magnetic Pulse, generated via a solar storm/natural event or by military weapons.
For weeks now I’ve been seeing reports of state governors declaring states of emergency/disaster, and even activating their National Guards, for the solar eclipse of 08APR2024. This is odd, because these states of emergencies are not just for crowd/traffic control in the eclipse viewing epicenters, they are also for expected food shortages, collapse of the power grid, and even the possibility of a Chemical-Biological-Radiological-Nuclear (CBRN) attack!?
This photo was made by Alabama Air Guard Staff Sergeant Shelby Thurman during the October 2023 solar eclipse. Was there social chaos? Was there a collapse of the power grid?
In 2017 there was another solar eclipse across the United States, and the state I live in was one of the epicenters for viewing that cosmic event, and yes some extra Idaho State Police were called in, as well as some Idaho National Guard, specifically for crowd/traffic control, but not for a total collapse of ‘the system’. There was no power grid collapse, no food shortages, no CBRN events, no social collapse!
This U.S. Army photo was made by Vanessa Flores during the October 2023 solar eclipse, over White Sands, New Mexico. Were there any food shortages as a result?
If this year’s solar eclipse is going to be so destructive, then why did the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) proudly boast that they will be hosting solar eclipse parties on their Michael J. Kirwan Reservoir, in Ohio, and their Shenango River Lake, in Pennsylvania?
Or, how about the USACE’s big solar eclipse party on their Mount Morris Dam in the state of New York?
Certainly, solar eclipses do-not shutdown power grids. But, what can shutdown power grids? A massive EMP generating solar flare can, but so can an attack by inter-web hackers, as well as a human-made CBRN event.
What I know for certain is that the U.S. military, through state level National Guard, has been prepping for such an event for decades, if not for the past year:

Making an appearance at the March 2024, Idaho State University ‘Chrome in the Dome’ car show, none other than The Duke! Of course not the dead guy, but a car honoring the dead guy (John Wayne, aka Marion Robert Morrison).
Believe it or else, it took a crazy Idahoan three years to kit-bash one unique, one-off, car out of British and Japanese parts, to honor the United States’ icon of Western movies!
16MAR2024, ISU Holt Arena in Pocatello, Idaho.
The body is a 1937 Austin Ruby-7, made in the United Kingdom, and the chassis-drivetrain is from a Suzuki Samurai made in Japan! The Ruby-7 was missing most of its floor-pan, and some adjustments needed to be made to get the British body to sit down on the Nipponese frame.
This kit-bashed custom has revolving Revolver exhaust pipes (my video):
It was hard getting walk-around video due to all the Pokies crowding ’round. People loved the plethora of Western gunslinger trinkets plastered all over the hybrid vehicle; the more you looked the more you found:
The builder/owner already has a very tempting offer from a prospective buyer, and another prospector who might join in for a bidding war. This has the builder chomping-at-the-bit to whip-up his next horsepower project (a ’56 Chevy).

On 12DEC2016, two F-35 Lightning-2s arrived on Nevatim Air Base, Israel, where they were rechristened F-35I (I for Israel) Adir. U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama the Second‘s Secretary of Defense, Ashton Baldwin Carter, praised Israel and revealed long-term plans to “dominate the skies” over The Middle East. I edited this video from videos recorded by U.S. Navy Petty Officer Second Class Glenn Slaughter, the U.S. Department of Defense, and U.S. Embassy photographer Ziv Sokolov:
Ever since the delivery of the first two F-35-Is to Israel, the United States Air Force (USAF) has routinely attended wargames in Israel using its F-35 Lightining-2, the most recent being in January 2023. The large-scale bilateral multi-domain wargame is called Juniper Oak, and is meant to enhance ‘interoperability’ between U.S. and Israeli armed forces.

Juniper Oak is just one of several U.S.-Israeli wargames. However, Israel also routinely sends their F-35-Is to the U.S., for wargames over North America, such as Red Flag.

Israeli F-35-Is also take part in NATO wargames, such as a wargame called Falcon Strike which involves Israel, Italy, United Kingdom and United States.

“‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’ She has become a dwelling for demons and a haunt for every impure spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal. For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.”-from Revelation 18, King James Bible
