Almost Everyone Missed One Of The Main Points Of The Eclipse

A lot of people were expecting a lot of things to happen on the day of the Great American Eclipse of 2024, and none of them happened.  Personally, I did not expect to see any sort of a major disaster or emergency on April 8th, and this is an opinion that I expressed over and over again during the weeks leading up to the eclipse.  But without a doubt, I believe that this eclipse was a sign and a warning.  In particular, the fact that the Great American Eclipse of 2024 completed the giant “X” over the New Madrid fault zone that the Great American Eclipse of 2017 started is such an obvious warning that I can’t believe that almost everyone is ignoring it.  That giant “X” over the New Madrid fault zone was literally one of the main points of the eclipse, but so few people are talking about it.

Earlier today, I was watching coverage of the eclipse on ABC News, and I thought that overall they did a pretty good job.

But of course there was no mention of the giant “X” over America that was being finished by the Great American Eclipse of 2024.

And there was no mention that the precise intersection of the two eclipses fell in southern Illinois.

I am sure that the other major networks also chose to ignore the obvious.

But somebody out there has certainly been trying to draw attention to what the eclipse on 4/8 really meant.

On Friday, a 4.8 magnitude earthquake rattled New York City on the exact same day that an earthquake at a depth of precisely 4.8 miles shook the New Madrid fault zone

The New Madrid Seismic Zone started rocking early Friday morning.

The U.S. Geological Survey recorded a magnitude 2.1 earthquake at 12:17 a.m. April 5.

The tremor was centered along the Mississippi River in Lake County, Tennessee, about 3 miles northeast of Caruthersville and 26.5 miles northeast of Blytheville. The USGS said it had a depth of 7 kilometers (4.8 miles).

Just another coincidence, eh?

That quake was part of a mini-swarm of 5 earthquakes that hit the New Madrid fault zone that day…

I am not a scientist and I’m not saying that eclipses and earthquakes are related, but I do find it interesting that a mini-swarm of 5 quakes has just hit the New Madrid, Missouri area just days before Monday’s historic total solar eclipse that will cross that region.

The USGS has confirmed there are at least 5 New Madrid, Missouri quakes as of this writing. 2 happened early Friday morning and there may be more now, but 5 is the total as of this writing.

What we are witnessing right now are warnings.

Someday there will be an apocalyptic earthquake along the New Madrid fault zone that will permanently alter the geography of the United States.

But it isn’t time for that yet.

The dividing of the land of Israel comes first, and this is something that the Biden administration seems absolutely determined to accomplish

For decades the U.S. has pushed a two-state solution to the conflict in the Middle East but not formally recognized an independent Palestinian state. That may be about to change.

The Biden administration is drawing up options to enact the policy after Israel’s current war in Gaza, a senior administration official told NBC News, a move that could offer political, legal and symbolic power for Palestinians and add to international pressure on Israel to engage in meaningful talks for a long-term peace.

We have been warned that if we divide the land of Israel our land will be divided.

But the Biden administration plans to do it anyway.

Recently, a simulation of what a magnitude 7.7 earthquake on the New Madrid fault would look like was conducted…

Of course we have seen much more powerful earthquakes than that in the region in the past.

In 1811 and 1812, there was a series of three massive earthquakes that all measured “between 8.3 and 8.7 on the Richter Scale”

The seismic zone generated some of the largest earthquakes in U.S. history. Three earthquakes struck between 1811-1812, destroying several settlements along the Mississippi River and spurring a series of aftershocks that lasted for months. Scientists have estimated the intensity of the earthquakes as between 8.3 and 8.7 on the Richter Scale, according to the Iowa Geological Survey.

These three absolutely enormous quakes were part of a series of more than 2,000 earthquakes that rattled the New Madrid fault zone during those two years.

In the entire history of the continental United States, we have never seen anything quite like those quakes

The New Madrid earthquakes were the biggest earthquakes in American history. They occurred in the central Mississippi Valley, but were felt as far away as New York City, Boston, Montreal, and Washington D.C. President James Madison and his wife Dolly felt them in the White House. Church bells rang in Boston. From December 16, 1811 through March of 1812 there were over 2,000 earthquakes in the central Midwest, and between 6,000-10,000 earthquakes in the Bootheel of Missouri where New Madrid is located near the junction of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers.

Prior to the catastrophic New Madrid earthquakes in 1811 and 1812, two solar eclipses actually formed a giant “X” over the heartland of America.

The giant “X” in the vicinity of Cleveland, Ohio that a solar eclipse in 1806 started was completed by a solar eclipse in 1811.

Meanwhile, Tecumseh’s Comet was getting a ton of attention as it raced through the heavens.

Three months after the solar eclipse in 1811, the shaking in the New Madrid fault zone began.

Now we see a very similar scenario playing out right in front of our eyes.

On April 8th, the Great American Eclipse of 2024 completed the giant “X” over the heartland of America that the Great American Eclipse of 2017 started.

Meanwhile, the Devil Comet is racing through our solar system for the first time in 71 years.

You can dismiss this if you want.

But let’s see what happens.

I am entirely convinced that “X” marks the spot, and scientists assure us that it is just a matter of time before extremely destructive earthquakes hit the New Madrid fault zone once again.

So keep a very close eye on what the Biden administration does.  Once a Palestinian state is formally established, we will definitely be in the danger zone.

The 7 Year Wait Is Over: 99 Percent Of Americans Will Be Able To See Either A Partial Or A Total Solar Eclipse On April 8th

We have been waiting for this for a very long time.  On Monday, the 7 year wait will be over and the Great American Eclipse of 2024 will finally be here.  Personally, I have been writing articles about the Great American Eclipse of 2024 for more than 7 years, and I have been discussing it in my books since 2021.  The most ominous sign in the entire history of the United States is about to pass over our heads, and even though so many of us have been making so much noise about it for so many years, most of the population does not seem alarmed at all.  In fact, for much of the population the Great American Eclipse of 2024 will be just another opportunity to party.

Because so many Americans live within or very close to the path of totality, it is being projected that this will be the most viewed total solar eclipse that the U.S. has ever experienced…

The total eclipse will first appear along Mexico’s Pacific Coast at around 11:07 a.m. PDT, then travel across a swath of the U.S., from Texas to Maine, and into Canada.

About 31.6 million people live in the path of totality, the area where the moon will fully block out the sun, according to NASA. The path will range between 108 and 122 miles wide. An additional 150 million people live within 200 miles of the path of totality.

There are more than 19,000 cities, towns and villages in the United States, and the very first one the path of totality will hit will be Eagle Pass, Texas

The eclipse will begin in the U.S. on the afternoon of April 8. It will first be visible as a partial eclipse beginning at 12:06 p.m. CDT near Eagle Pass, Texas, before progressing to totality by about 1:27 p.m. CDT and progressing along its path to the northeast over the next few hours.

According to NASA, the path of totality for the Great American Eclipse of 2024 will actually be substantially wider compared to the path of totality for the Great American Eclipse of 2017…

The path of totality – where viewers can see the Moon totally block the Sun, revealing the star’s outer atmosphere, called the corona – is much wider during the upcoming total solar eclipse than it was during the eclipse in 2017. As the Moon orbits Earth, its distance from our planet varies. During the 2017 total solar eclipse, the Moon was a little bit farther away from Earth than it will be during the upcoming total solar eclipse, causing the path of that eclipse to be a little skinnier. In 2017, the path ranged from about 62 to 71 miles wide. During the April eclipse, the path over North America will range between 108 and 122 miles wide – meaning at any given moment, this eclipse covers more ground.

The 2024 eclipse path will also pass over more cities and densely populated areas than the 2017 path did. This will make it easier for more people to see totality. An estimated 31.6 million people live in the path of totality this year, compared to 12 million in 2017. An additional 150 million people live within 200 miles of the path of totality.

If you are not able to make it into the path of totality on Monday, there is a very good chance you will still be able to experience at least a partial eclipse as long as clouds do not completely obscure your view.

NASA is telling us that literally 99 percent of the people that live in the United States will be able to see at least a partial eclipse…

You don’t need to live within the path of totality to see the eclipse – in April, 99% of people who reside in the United States will be able to see the partial or total eclipse from where they live. Every contiguous U.S. state, plus parts of Alaska and Hawaii, will experience at least a partial solar eclipse.

This really is an eclipse for the entire country.

Even on the west coast, approximately half of the sun will be blocked out by our moon…

The moon will block a significant portion of the sun and create a partial solar eclipse outside of the path of totality. The closer an area is to the path of totality, the larger the portion of the sun and its solar radiation – sunlight and energy – will be obscured by the moon.

At least 50% of the sun will be blocked during the eclipse as far west as Anaheim, California, and as far east as Orlando, Florida. Only around 20% of the sun will be blocked in the Pacific Northwest.

I am glad that this eclipse will be able to be seen all over America, because I truly believe that it is a sign and a warning for all of America.

More than 7 years ago, I started writing articles about the giant “X” over America that would be created by the paths of the Great American Eclipse of 2017 and the Great American Eclipse of 2024.

On Monday, that giant “X” will finally be completed.

Needless to say, marking a giant “X” over something is not normally considered to be a positive thing.

The following is an excerpt from a book that I wrote in 2021

If you were to mark a giant “X” across something, what would that mean?

Obviously, it is normally not a very good sign.

If I have a list of things that I am considering, I may use an “X” to eliminate options that are no longer viable.

Or if I have a list of things that I am supposed to do, I will often mark an “X” across an item to indicate that it is finished or completed.

An “X” can “mark the spot” on a treasure hunt, but it can also be a warning sign of danger.

According to dictionary.com, using a big “X” on the Internet “generally communicates warnings, errors, and undesirability” and in the sports world it is often used “to denote a ‘strike’ in baseball, a missed scoring attempt generally, or a lost match.”

As you can see from all of these examples, an “X” tends to signify some sort of a final outcome.

As I pointed out in that book and in my latest book entitled “Chaos”, the heart of that giant “X” falls directly in the New Madrid fault zone.

Anyone with any sense at all should be alarmed that a giant “X” is about to be completed over the fault zone that once produced the most powerful earthquakes in the entire history of the continental United States.

But the vast majority of the population is not even talking about this.

Of course I do not expect an apocalyptic earthquake to happen on the New Madrid fault right now.

It is not time for that yet.

But I do believe that this eclipse is a sign, a warning and a threshold.

There is one last thing that I would like to share in this article.

At some point during the next several months, an absolutely massive explosion will literally make it appear as though a new star has appeared in the sky

Sometime between now and September, a massive explosion 3,000 light years from Earth will flare up in the night sky, giving amateur astronomers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to witness this space oddity.

The binary star system in the constellation Corona Borealis—”northern crown”—is normally too dim to see with the naked eye.

But every 80 years or so, exchanges between its two stars, which are locked in a deadly embrace, spark a runaway nuclear explosion.

The light from the blast travels through the cosmos and makes it appear as if a new star—as bright as the North Star, according to NASA—has suddenly just popped up in our night sky for a few days.

I find it interesting that this is going to happen at just about the same time that so many other things are taking place in the heavens.

The Devil Comet is making an appearance for the first time in 71 years, the Great American Eclipse of 2024 will be passing over the United States on Monday, and the seven other planets in our solar system along with the sun and the moon are all forming a spectacular “line in the sky”.

You would think that all of this would be enough to grab the attention of the general population.

Sadly, the mainstream media seems absolutely determined to convince everyone that all of this is completely meaningless, and that is extremely unfortunate.

This Is The Eclipse “Conspiracy Theory” That The Mainstream Media Doesn’t Want To Talk About

As the Great American Eclipse of 2024 on April 8th draws near, the mainstream media has been packed with stories that debunk various “conspiracy theories”.  Of course in order to have a “conspiracy theory”, you have got to have more than one individual that is alleged to be involved in some sort of a “conspiracy”, and so I have no idea how that term can possibly be applied to what is going on in the heavens.  In any event, there are certainly a lot of “theories” about this eclipse that are clearly not accurate, and the mainstream media has successfully debunked a number of them.  However, there is one “theory” regarding this eclipse that the mainstream media doesn’t want to talk about, and I will discuss that “theory” in this article.

In Genesis chapter 1, God specifically told us that one of the reasons why He created the sun and the moon is because they would be used as “signs”…

14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years

Anyone that has read the first page of the Bible should know this.

This is extremely basic stuff.

In Luke chapter 21, Jesus specifically warned us that “there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars” during the years just prior to His return.

So we should be watching for “signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars” in the end times because Jesus instructed us to watch for “signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars” in the end times.

Once again, this is extremely basic stuff.

Of course the mainstream media would like to convince all of us that anyone that believes that the Great American Eclipse of 2024 has any sort of special significance is a few bricks short of a load.

And you can believe that if you want.

But the mainstream media can never “debunk” the Aleph and the Tav that are being completed on April 8th.

As the Great American Eclipse of 2024 passes over the United States on April 8th, it will cross over the path of the “ring of fire” solar eclipse of October 14th, 2023 and the path of the Great American Eclipse of 2017.

In the process, an absolutely enormous paleo-Hebrew “Aleph” will be completed over America.

According to eclipsewitness.com, there “has never been such a tightly formed obvious Aleph over the interior borders of any nation in at least the last thousand years”.

The Aleph that is being formed does not look anything like the Aleph that has evolved in modern Hebrew.

Rather, the Aleph that is being formed looks just like the Aleph that was commonly used when many of the books of the Bible were being written in ancient Israel.

The Aleph has always been the very first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, and from the earliest times it has always meant “strength”, “authority” or “power”.

Remember that, because it will be important later.

If you remove the “ring of fire” solar eclipse of October 14th, 2023 from the equation, the paths of the Great American Eclipse of 2024 and the Great American Eclipse of 2017 form a giant paleo-Hebrew “Tav” over America.

At the heart of that “Tav” is a giant “X” that intersects directly over the New Madrid fault zone in southern Illinois.

The Tav has always been the very last letter of the Hebrew alphabet, and from the earliest times it has always meant “mark” or “covenant”.

And in the earliest forms, the Tav was simply a picture of two wooden sticks crossing one another.

In other words, the Tav was simply a wooden cross.

Ultimately, the Tav represents the covenant that God made with humanity at the wooden cross.

And when you see the Aleph and Tav together, “strength”, “authority” and “power” is being combined with the covenant that God made with humanity at the wooden cross.

The Aleph Tav is actually in the original Hebrew in Genesis 1:1, but it is never translated in any of our English versions.

And the Aleph Tav is also found thousands of other times throughout the Old Testament.

But today I want to talk about the appearances of the Aleph Tav in the Book of Revelation.

In the very first chapter of the Book of Revelation, Jesus identifies Himself as “the Alpha and the Omega”…

10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,

11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

And in the very last chapter of the Book of Revelation, Jesus once again identifies Himself as “the Alpha and the Omega”…

13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

If Jesus is telling us the exact same thing in the very first chapter of the Book of Revelation and the very last chapter of the Book of Revelation, it must be important.

Needless to say, the Alpha and the Omega are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet.

But I believe that the original conversations between Jesus and the Apostle John in the Book of Revelation were not in Greek.

You see, the truth is that the Apostle John did not speak Greek.

He spoke Hebrew.

And so when Jesus appeared to John, He would have spoken to him in a language that he could understand.

So in the original conversations that we find in the Book of Revelation, I believe that Jesus and the Apostle John were speaking to each other in Hebrew.

Instead of saying that He is “the Alpha and the Omega”, during the original conversations Jesus would have said that He is “the Aleph and the Tav”.

The Apostle John would have immediately recognized that Jesus was saying that He is the Aleph Tav that we find in Genesis 1:1.

And he would have immediately recognized that Jesus was saying that He is the Aleph Tav that appears thousands of times throughout the Old Testament.

Now the Aleph Tav is literally being painted in the skies above America, and hardly anyone is even talking about this.

The two Hebrew letters that Jesus specifically identified Himself with will be completed in the heavens on April 8th, and meanwhile the sun, the moon and the other seven planets in our solar system will all be lined up in the night sky.

And all of this is happening on the first day of the first month on the Hebrew calendar.

Can you understand why the mainstream media does not want to talk about any of this?

The heavens are literally screaming out that Jesus is Lord, and we are very fortunate to be living during the times just prior to His return.

Pestilences And Earthquakes

We are living in an era of endless disasters.  Over the past several years, we have been hit with one thing after another, and the pace of events seems to have picked up steam in 2024.  Just think of all the things we have seen in recent days.  There was the historic terror attack in Russia, then the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore collapsed, and then Israel’s strike on a building right next to Iran’s embassy in Damascus threatened to spark a major regional war.  Less than 24 hours ago, a catastrophic earthquake hit Taiwan, but that is already starting to fade from the news cycle because so much else is happening right now.

In this article, I want to focus on two things: pestilences and earthquakes.

The bird flu plague has already killed millions upon millions of birds all over the planet, but now it has made a major resurgence in the United States.

In fact, the largest egg producer in the U.S. is “temporarily” closing a facility in Texas due to a local outbreak

The largest producer of fresh eggs in the United States says it has temporarily closed one of its facilities in Texas after highly pathogenic avian influenza, otherwise known as H5N1 bird flu, wiped out nearly two million birds.

Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. said one of its facilities in Parmer County “tested positive for highly pathogenic avian influenza, resulting in depopulation of approximately 1.6 million laying hens and 337,000 pullets, or approximately 3.6% of the Company’s total flock as of March 2, 2024.”

Just like that, nearly two million more birds are gone.

Egg prices have already been spiking, and we are being warned that they will soon go up even more

Egg prices have now been steadily rising for months, and your omelette could become even more expensive as poultry farms around the country deal with an outbreak of bird flu.

The average price of a dozen Grade A large eggs was $3 in February, according to the latest Consumer Price Index, up from around $2 in the fall.

Alarmingly, this time around it isn’t just birds that are catching the disease.

The USDA is telling us that dairy cows in several U.S. states have been recently infected

Bird flu has been confirmed in dairy cows across several states, with the USDA saying Monday it has been found in New Mexico and five additional herds in Texas.

In addition, we have learned that “three pet cats” in Texas have died after catching the bird flu…

Meanwhile, three pet cats have died from bird flu after catching the disease on dairy farms in Texas, according to reports — as fears are raised that infected animals living near humans could spread the disease to people.

Mammals all over the globe have started to get infected, but up until now the bird flu has not posed a serious threat to humans.

Is that about to change?

A dairy worker in Texas has tested positive for H5N1, and that represents only the second case ever recorded in the United States…

A Texas dairy worker has tested positive for the avian flu, marking the first identified human case of an illness in the U.S. that has sickened cattle across several states over the past few weeks.

The infection, only the second human case of H5N1 ever recorded in the country, is worrying public health experts who for decades have cautioned that avian flu could pose a serious threat.

Hopefully this will turn out to be just an isolated incident.

But the CDC is telling us that testing has shown that H5N1 has mutated into a form that could potentially spread more easily among people…

The strain of bird flu that infected a person in Texas has mutated to spread more easily, officials say — amid growing alarm the disease could spread to more people.

The CDC said tests on the H5N1 sample showed it had a mutation that was ‘known to be associated with viral adaptation to mammalian hosts’ – but insisted the mutations were minor and the overall risk to the public was low.

This is a bombshell.

If H5N1 starts spreading from person to person on a widespread basis, that will be far more serious than anything that we have experienced over the last several years.

I hope that you understand what I am saying.

Meanwhile, the number of confirmed cases of dengue fever in Brazil already exceeds 1.5 million

An unprecedented outbreak of dengue fever is surging across Brazil, as the nation battles an epidemic that is straining resources and spreading well beyond the areas traditionally affected.

In cities across the vast country, hospitals and doctors are being stretched to the limit as more than 1.5 million people have already caught the virus – also known as “breakbone fever” – this year.

Dengue fever is an issue in Brazil every year, but they have never seen anything even close to this.

Now let me switch gears and talk about earthquakes for a bit.

Less than 24 hours ago, we witnessed the worst earthquake in Taiwan in 25 years

Taiwan was struck by its strongest earthquake in 25 years on Wednesday when a 7.4 magnitude tremor struck the island’s eastern coast, collapsing buildings, killing at least four people and triggering tsunami warnings across the region that were later lifted, CNN reported.

The tsunami warnings also prompted airlines and airports to suspend flights, which were later resumed.

CNN reported that the powerful tremors that rocked Taiwan morning have damaged 125 buildings across the island, according to the National Fire Agency (NFA).

That quake was later downgraded to 7.2, but it sure shook a lot of people up.

At one point, a building that is 10 stories high started to fall over as those in the streets nearby ran for cover

A group of terrified Taiwanese citizens looked to be heading to an early grave as a huge earthquake sent a 10-storey building hurtling towards them – only for the structure to grind to a halt at a near-45-degree angle.

Shocking footage captured by security cameras showed the moment the red brick building shook violently and began to fall, spraying dust and debris into the street below as the people below sprinted for safety or dove into their cars for protection.

This is yet another example of how unstable our planet is becoming.

In recent months we have seen so much unusual seismic activity all over the globe, but most Americans haven’t been too concerned about this because it hasn’t really affected us too much.

But there has been unusual shaking here in the U.S. too.

For instance, earlier this year there was a swarm of more than 270 earthquakes near Reno, Nevada

Residents of the south Reno area have likely noticed a few earthquakes in the last couple weeks. The Nevada Seismological Laboratory (NSL), a unit within the University of Nevada, Reno, has identified and located over 270 small magnitude earthquakes in the last 30 days so far. The largest related quake to date has been a magnitude 3.5 in the afternoon of Jan. 28 that was felt and heard through much of Reno.

Groups of small- to moderate-sized earthquakes, such as those recently occurring in south Reno, are often called a “swarm.”

“We have termed this swarm the South Reno Swarm,” Kyren Bogolub, a network seismologist with the NSL, said.

Do you know what else is south of Reno, Nevada?

A volcanic field known as “Steamboat Springs” is located in the area, but it has been quiet for a very long time.  The following information comes from Wikipedia

Steamboat Springs is a small volcanic field of rhyolitic lava domes and flows in western Nevada, located south of Reno. There is extensive geothermal activity in the area, including numerous hot springs, steam vents, and fumaroles.

Is that volcanic field starting to wake up?

Let’s hope not.

But as seismic activity increases all over the globe, it is inevitable that the U.S. will experience great shaking as well.

In addition to natural disasters, our world is being troubled by wars, pestilences, famines, economic problems and political turmoil.

A period of great chaos has arrived, and I am entirely convinced that the pace of events will accelerate even more during the months ahead.

This Is Why Many People Will Consider The Great American Eclipse Of 2024 On April 8th To Be A Big “Dud”

We are about to witness the most dramatic astronomical event in the entire history of the United States.  The Great American Eclipse of 2024 will be the last total solar eclipse in the continental United States until 2044, and it is being projected that it will be personally viewed by more people than any other eclipse in North America ever has been.  Literally millions of people are expected to travel into the path of the totality on April 8th, and one expert is warning that this will be like “50 simultaneous Super Bowls across the nation”

Due to the fact April’s total solar eclipse will be the last of its kind to occur in North America for 20 years, it is projected to be the U.S.’s largest mass travel event in 2024, Michael Zeiler, expert solar eclipse cartographer, told ABC News.

Zeiler compared eclipse day travel to “50 simultaneous Super Bowls across the nation,” saying four million people are estimated to travel to view it.

“When you look at the number of people expected to come to the path of totality for the solar eclipse, we estimate those numbers are roughly the equivalent of 50 simultaneous Super Bowls across the nation, from Texas to Maine,” he said.

In many areas of the country, we are going to see traffic nightmares of absolutely epic proportions.

And of course there is always a chance that clouds could ruin the viewing experience in a particular location.

Some wealthy people are not taking any chances.  It is being reported that certain individuals are paying up to $3,750 in order to view the eclipse from a plane…

As the moon passes between the Earth and the sun Monday, Andrew Bazos will be cruising at 17,000 feet, rosé in hand, having dropped $2,000 to watch the solar eclipse from a private plane’s window.

He will not be alone: aviation company Blade has sold out 14 flights from New York — costing from $1,975 to $3,750 per seat — which will let people see the 5-minute astronomical phenomenon from the air.

With days to go, people who want to catch the once-in-a-generation total eclipse are shelling out four and five figures for exclusive experiences.

Due to all of the eclipse tourists that are expected, some areas in the U.S. and Canada have already declared a state of emergency for April 8th.  Here is just one example

A state of emergency has been declared in Niagara Region with thousands of people expected to head there to view the April 8 solar eclipse.

A news release issued by the region said the state of emergency was declared “out of an abundance of caution” by Regional Chair Jim Bradley under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act (EMCPA), effective Thursday, March 28.

“Declaring a state of emergency under the EMCPA strengthens the tools the region has at its disposal to safeguard the health and safety of residents and visitors and protect our critical infrastructure in any scenario that might arise,” the release said.

There is so much excitement about this eclipse.

Prior to the Great American Eclipse of 2017, the last total solar eclipse in the continental U.S. was in 1979, and after the Great American Eclipse of 2024 the next one will not be until 2044

“If you look previous to 2017, the last one was in 1979,” Espenak said. “So it’s a little bit deceptive that these two eclipses were in seven years of each other.”

The next total solar eclipse to occur in the contiguous U.S. won’t be until August 2044 in Montana and North Dakota, and the next to span coast-to-coast is slated for 2045, according to NASA.

If you want to see a total solar eclipse in the continental U.S., this is it.

So why are so many people going to call it a “dud” once it is all over?

The reason why they are going to call it a “dud” is because there has been so much speculation on the Internet about what might happen on that day.

If there is no major disaster or emergency on that day, millions of people will mock those that consider this eclipse to be extremely significant.

But those mockers will be missing the entire point of the eclipse.

The eclipse is not important because of what may or may not happen on that day.

Rather, the eclipse will be important because of what we already know will happen on that day.

Personally, I do not expect any major disaster or emergency to occur on April 8th.

But that isn’t what matters.

What matters is what is going to be happening in the heavens.

The Great American Eclipse of 2024 will complete the “giant cross” over America that the Great American Eclipse of 2017 started.

The intersection of those two eclipses falls in an area of southern Illinois that sits directly in the heart of the New Madrid fault zone.

And the last time we witnessed a giant “X” over that area, the worst earthquakes in the entire history of the continental United States started to erupt shortly thereafter.

Amazingly, at the heart of the intersection of the Great American Eclipse of 2024 and the Great American Eclipse of 2017 there is a 111 foot tall white cross known as the Bald Knob Cross of Peace

Bald Knob Cross, officially known as the Bald Knob Cross of Peace, is a large white cross located in Alto PassIllinoisUnited States.[1] The structure is 111 feet (34 m) tall. The base of the cross is 1,034 feet above sea level and overlooks the Shawnee National Forest. Originally completed in 1963, the cross itself stands 111 feet tall, is 22 feet square at the base, 16 feet square at the top and its arms extend 63 feet horizontally. The exterior white panels covering the cross are 4-inch architectural flat insulated metal panels while the base portion is covered in granite approximately 4-inches thick. The structure sits on a foundation of 730 tons of reinforced concrete that goes down 20 feet to bedrock. The steel framework weighs approximately 170 tons. Each of the four sides of the cross have a word inscribed into the granite: Peace, Hope, Faith, Charity.[2]

The Bald Knob Cross of Peace was once the tallest cross in the entire western hemisphere.

Do you think that is just a coincidence?

The Great American Eclipse of 2024 will also complete the “giant cross” over America that the “ring of fire” solar eclipse of 2023 started.

At the heart of the intersection of those two eclipses another enormous cross stands.

In the Coming King Sculpture Prayer Garden in Kerrville, Texas, there is a seven story sculpture known as “The Empty Cross”, and it is exactly 77 feet and 7 inches tall.

This colossal sculpture is seen by millions of people as they travel along Interstate 10…

The 77′ 7″ hollow cross sculpture at this site has been seen by millions of people traveling on Interstate 10, connecting California and Florida. Countless others have learned about this unique spiritual art garden through various media channels. Remarkably, the paths of the Oct. 14, 2023, Annular Solar Eclipse and the April 8, 2024, Total Solar Eclipse converge deliberately. Many believe this convergence, forming a colossal cross in the sky directly above “The Empty Cross,” is not a random occurrence but a divine sign—a message from the Creator Himself.

As all of this is happening, the sun, the moon and the other seven planets in our solar system will be lining up in the sky.

A user known as “asking_hyena” posted a graphic of this on Reddit

We will never see a “line in the sky” like this again in any of our lifetimes.

And as you can see on this graphic, the path of the “Devil Comet” will be on the verge of crossing this “line in the sky” on April 8th.

To top everything off, all of this will happen on the first day of the first month on the Hebrew Calendar.  As this eclipse is happening in the United States, the sun will already be down in Jerusalem and the first day of the first month will already have begun.

The Great American Eclipse of 2024 will literally be the most ominous sign in the heavens in the entire history of the United States.

So anyone that calls it a “dud” after it is over is being extremely ignorant.

Once again, I want to stress that I don’t expect any major disaster or emergency to happen on that particular day.

That isn’t what this is about.

I believe that the Great American Eclipse of 2024 is a sign, and I also believe that it is a warning.

But instead of recognizing what it really means, millions of Americans will be using the eclipse as an excuse to party and celebrate, and that is extremely unfortunate.

And once we get to April 9th, many will foolishly suggest that the eclipse really didn’t mean anything at all, and that is because they failed to recognize the entire point of the eclipse.

We Are Just One Step Away From An Apocalyptic War In The Middle East

Did you see what just happened in Damascus?  In an absolutely stunning move, Israel took out the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.  Needless to say, the Iranians are absolutely furious and they are promising a “harsh” response.  For a long time, I have been warning my readers that an apocalyptic war in the Middle East will be one of the conflicts that defines World War III.  The good news is that the war in the Middle East has not escalated to an apocalyptic level yet.  But after what we witnessed on Monday, we are just one step away.

The building that was destroyed by the IDF airstrike was reportedly directly next to Iran’s embassy in Damascus

A building next to Iran’s embassy in Damascus has been destroyed in an airstrike, reportedly killing a senior commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps and five others – with state media saying Israel was behind the attack.

Pictures show the building in Syria’s capital razed to the ground, with huge plumes of smoke rising from the site following the explosion this afternoon and emergency workers rushing to the scene.

This particular building was apparently the residence of the Iranian ambassador to Syria.

The Syrian government says that the missiles that destroyed this building were fired from the Golan Heights

The Syrian Ministry of Defence responded with a statement.

“This evening, the Israeli enemy launched an air aggression from the direction of the occupied Syrian Golan, targeting the Iranian consulate building in Damascus,” it said.

“Our air defences responded to the missiles and shot down some of them. The aggression led to the destruction of the entire building and the martyrdom and injury of everyone inside.

“Work is underway to recover the bodies of the martyrs, treat the wounded and remove debris.”

It appears that the IDF was targeting a gathering of very important regional leaders.

Mohammad Reza Zahedi was among those that were killed.  He was the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps…

The head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Mohammad Reza Zahedi, was confirmed killed in the strike, alongside several other Iranian diplomats visiting the Syrian capital.

The IRGC-managed Fars News agency announced the commander’s death on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Another important Iranian military official named Haji Rahimi is also dead

Haji Rahimi was named as the second commander killed in the attack on Iran’s consulate building in the Syrian capital, according to the statement shared by state news agency IRNA on Monday night.

Haji Rahimi was reportedly a coordinator for the Quds Force, according to Iran’s semi-official Tasnim News.

This was a major victory for Israel, but the Iranians will inevitably respond.

In fact, Iran’s ambassador to Syria has already publicly stated that the response will be “harsh”

Iranian Ambassador to Syria Hossein Akbari, who was not injured, said at least five people had been killed in the attack and that Tehran’s response would be “harsh.”

The Iranian Embassy in Lebanon said that the “barbaric Israeli aggression is a flagrant violation of international laws, diplomatic norms, and the requirements of the Vienna Convention.”

We shall see what Iran chooses to do.

As Zero Hedge has aptly noted, if Iran’s response is too severe, it could spark “an all-out regional war”…

Depending on Iran’s response, this could be the start of an all-out regional war. For months now, Iranian-made ballistic missiles and drones have rained down on Israel, fired by Iran’s proxies in Lebanon and Yemen. This new brazen Israeli attack on Iran’s embassy takes things into uncharted territory, and also opens up the potential for the Iranians to target Israeli embassies abroad.

Of course the Iranians have already been escalating matters.

Prior to the IDF airstrike on Damascus on Monday, Iranian-backed militants in Iraq used a drone to attack a key naval base in southern Israel

In a significant first of the Gaza war marking a very serious escalation, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have confirmed that a drone which slammed into a naval base in Israel’s southernmost city of Eilat early Monday morning was launched from Iraq.

The IDF its statement said it identified a “suspicious aerial target” that breached Israeli airspace “from the east” before making impact “in the Eilat Bay area” on the Red Sea. While this isn’t necessarily the first instance of Iraqi militant groups claiming to have fired on Eliat, it appears to be the first time that direct impact was made on an Israeli navy base and that the IDF has confirmed it.

How far can both sides push one another before events spiral completely out of control?

Sadly, we are getting dangerously close to a point of no return.

Meanwhile, the Israeli government is also having to deal with violent anti-Netanyahu protests all over the nation

Israeli police violently clashed with protesters across the country last night, as tens of thousands took to streets across the nation to oppose Benjamin Netanyahu’s leadership during the Israel-Hamas war.

Protesters from all parts of Israeli society flooded streets to share their rage at the Israeli prime minister and his handling of the war in Gaza that has so far left nearly 33,000 people, most of whom are civilians, dead.

And police took extreme measures to get them under control, with photographers capturing brutal moments where cops dragged demonstrators across tarmac and beat them into submission.

Benjamin Netanyahu certainly isn’t going to allow such protests to alter the course that he has set.

He continues to insist that the war will never be won unless the IDF goes into Rafah

Israel will defeat Hamas by entering the terrorist stronghold of Rafah in the Gaza Strip and destroying the remaining battalions there, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stressed Sunday night.

“There is no victory without entering Rafah; there is no victory without destroying the Hamas battalions there,” said Netanyahu in a primetime address, adding that the operation “will take time, but it will happen.”

The premier reiterated that only a combination of military pressure and tough negotiations would bring about the release of the remaining 134 hostages taken to Gaza by Palestinian terrorists on Oct. 7.

As I discussed last week, it appears that a ground operation in Rafah will begin either this month or next month.

While all of this is happening in the Middle East, we desperately need strong leadership in the White House.

Instead, either Joe Biden or Kamala Harris will be running things until at least January 2025…

Only 38 percent of likely 2024 voters believe President Joe Biden will be alive at the end of another four-year term, according to an exclusive poll for DailyMail.com.

And that means one thing: Vice President Kamala Harris is just as likely to be in the top job as Biden come January 2029 if he wins reelection.

Some 36 percent of likely voters believe Harris will be president at the end of the term. The exact same proportion as think Biden will be in the job.

When the time comes to make absolutely critical decisions regarding the conflict in the Middle East, do you trust either of them to be up to the job?

For a long time, we have been warned that the Middle East would eventually erupt in flames.

Now we are right at the door.

Unfortunately, most people in the western world have no idea how bad this war in the Middle East is going to become.

This Is How Most People Will Die When There Is A Large Scale Nuclear War Between The U.S. And Russia

We have never been closer to nuclear war than we are right now.  If the conflict in Ukraine sparks a large scale nuclear war between the United States and Russia, billions of people could die.  This is why so many of us desperately want leaders from both sides to sit down at the negotiating table and try to work out their differences peacefully.  Perhaps a peaceful solution is not possible, but for the good of humanity they should at least make an attempt.  Because as things stand right now, all it is going to take is one mistake for the world to be plunged into an unthinkable nuclear cataclysm.

According to author Annie Jacobsen, the U.S. has a network of satellites that is constantly watching for an ICBM launch from one of our enemies…

“The US Defense Department has a early warning system. And the system in space is called SBIRS, a constellation of satellites that is keeping an eye on all of America’s enemies.”

“So the moment an ICBM launches, they see the hot rocket exhaust on the ICBM a fraction of a second after it launches. And so there begins this horrifying policy called launch on warning, and that’s the US counterattack.

“The reason that the United States is so ferociously watching for a nuclear launch somewhere around the globe is so that the nuclear command and control system in the US can move into action to immediately make a counterstrike.

“That policy, launch on warning, is exactly like it says, it means the United States will not wait to absorb a nuclear attack. It will launch nuclear weapons in response before the bomb actually hits.”

In the event of a surprise first strike, there would only be a handful of minutes to get the president out of bed and decide what to do.

Needless to say, the president would not want to launch a counterstrike if it is a false alarm.

Because once the missiles are in the air, there is no calling them back.

When a nuclear warhead explodes, a fireball is created that is unimaginably hot.  The following comes from the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists

Microseconds into the explosion of a nuclear weapon, energy released in the form of X-rays heats the surrounding environment, forming a fireball of superheated air. Inside the fireball, the temperature and pressure are so extreme that all matter is rendered into a hot plasma of bare nuclei and subatomic particles, as is the case in the Sun’s multi-million-degree core.

The fireball following the airburst explosion of a 300-kiloton nuclear weapon—like the W87 thermonuclear warhead deployed on the Minuteman III missiles currently in service in the US nuclear arsenal—can grow to more than 600 meters (2,000 feet) in diameter and stays blindingly luminous for several seconds, before its surface cools.

The light radiated by the fireball’s heat—accounting for more than one-third of the thermonuclear weapon’s explosive energy—will be so intense that it ignites fires and causes severe burns at great distances. The thermal flash from a 300-kiloton nuclear weapon could cause first-degree burns as far as 13 kilometers (8 miles) from ground zero.

If you are at ground zero, you will have zero chance of surviving.

According to a study that was conducted several years ago, approximately 34 million people would die during the first few hours of a large scale nuclear war between the United States and Russia.

But that would be just the first wave of death.

In the aftermath of a nuclear exchange, radioactive fallout would spread over much of the continental United States

Using archived weather data over 48-hour periods across a number of dates in 2021 to simulate the expected radioactive plume, the scientists found that the West Coast states were the lowest risk due to a prevailing easterly wind.

However, depending on the exact wind direction, the worst fallout could fall over any part of the U.S. and Canada east of Idaho. Based on weather patterns on December 2, 2021, Chicago, Illinois and D.C., among other population centers, would be in the direct path of a fatal dose of radiation.

In a worst-case scenario, almost all of Montana and North Dakota, as well as parts of Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota and Kansas would receive a dose more than 10 times what is considered lethal, resulting in deaths in a matter of days. Most of the Midwest would receive a lethal dose, while elsewhere would see deaths occur in weeks.

Radioactive fallout would kill far more people than the initial explosions would.

But the good news is that radiation levels would dissipate fairly rapidly.

So if you are far enough away from a ground zero and you are able to survive the initial tsunami of radioactive fallout, it will eventually be safe to go outside again.

But at that point there will be no more supply chains, people will be fighting for whatever dwindling resources are left, and “famine alone could be more than 10 times as deadly as the hundreds of bomb blasts involved in the war itself”

As horrific as those statistics are, the tens to hundreds of millions of people dead and injured within the first few days of a nuclear conflict would only be the beginnings of a catastrophe that eventually will encompass the whole world.

Global climatic changes, widespread radioactive contamination, and societal collapse virtually everywhere could be the reality that survivors of a nuclear war would contend with for many decades.

Two years after any nuclear war—small or large—famine alone could be more than 10 times as deadly as the hundreds of bomb blasts involved in the war itself.

Ultimately, nuclear winter will kill more people than anything else.

For those of us that live in the northern hemisphere, it will be exceedingly difficult to grow much of anything once temperatures drop far below normal

This makes Earth freezing cold even during the summer, with farmland in Kansas cooling by about 20 degrees centigrade (about 40 degrees Fahrenheit), and other regions cooling almost twice as much. A recent scientific paper estimates that over 5 billion people could starve to death, including around 99% of those in the US, Europe, Russia, and China – because most black carbon smoke stays in the Northern hemisphere where it’s produced, and because temperature drops harm agriculture more at high latitudes.

Can you imagine what our world would look like if such a war actually happened?

Unfortunately, relations between the United States and Russia are the worst that they have ever been, and we are getting closer to a nuclear war with each passing day.

Politicians in the western world assume that the Russians would never risk a nuclear war because the consequences would be so apocalyptic for everyone.

But Russian politicians have warned us over and over again that if we push Russia too far there will be a nuclear war.

And as I detailed in my new book entitled “Chaos”, the Russians have been feverishly preparing to fight a nuclear war for many years.

They know that there are no “winners” in a nuclear war.

But they also know that whoever strikes first will have the best chance of surviving one.

Right now, Russian forces are advancing and Ukrainian leaders are becoming increasingly desperate

“Western leaders are bracing for the Ukrainian army’s collapse as it has only been able to slow the advance of Russian forces amid weapons and ammunition shortages, the Times writes.

In its editorial, titled ‘It’s time we talked about the fall of Kiev’, the paper points out that ‘contrary to the predominant view that this is a perpetual frozen conflict, with neither side able to win a decisive advantage, the front line is bitterly contested and there is a real risk of Ukrainian forces being pushed back’.

‘This is the nightmare scenario now being contemplated by western policymakers’, the Times notes.

Russia’s advance ‘would obviously be disastrous for the Ukrainians’. ‘It would also confront the West with all manner of tough challenges’, the newspaper says. ‘The consequences of a partial or complete defeat would be calamitous in ways western populations have barely begun to understand. But we have a lazy habit in the comfortable West – away from Europe’s front line in east and south Ukraine – of wishful thinking and being unprepared for bad surprises’, the Times emphasizes.”

Ukrainian officials realize that the only way they can win the war is for NATO forces to intervene, and some western leaders such as French President Emmanuel Macron are very open to the idea.

But Vladimir Putin has warned that this will put us one step away from nuclear war, and he has decided to conscript another 150,000 men into the Russian military…

Vladimir Putin has called up another 150,000 men for Russian army conscription, the highest figure for eight years.

This comes as Orthodox priests have been ordered to say prayers in church for the dictator’s victory in the war.

The recruits are aged 18 to 30 and will be conscripted between 1 April and 15 July amid his war against Ukraine.

The Russians are convinced that western leaders want to bring down the Russian government and divide Russia up into a bunch of smaller pieces.

On the other side, politicians in the western world are determined to do “whatever it takes” to keep the Russians from winning in Ukraine.

Both sides are being unreasonable and paranoid, and that is a recipe for disaster.

All it is going to take is one mistake to unleash a nuclear cataclysm, and billions of lives hang in the balance.

The “Mystery Illness” That Has Been Spreading Among Cattle In Texas, Kansas And New Mexico Has Been Identified, And It Isn’t Good News

Officials had been greatly puzzled by a “mystery disease” that has been making dairy cattle in Texas, Kansas and New Mexico very sluggish and has been causing them to produce much less milk.  So they decided to do some testing, and we now have the results.  It turns out that the mystery illness is actually “the same strain of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) that’s been in the U.S. for two years”

A mystery illness that’s impacted dairy herds in the Texas Panhandle, New Mexico and Kansas now has a diagnosis: Influenza A. USDA says genetic sequencing revealed it’s the same strain of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) that’s been in the U.S. for two years.

APHIS says the “National Veterinary Services Laboratories” detected Influenza “A” in samples from several impacted herds in Texas, Kansas and New Mexico. The virus is carried by wild waterfowl, which experts think is how the illness is spreading.

The experts did not think that bird flu would be a threat to dairy cattle.

Unfortunately, the experts were wrong.

Scientists were able to confirm the presence of the bird flu by testing samples of milk from sick cows…

According to USDA, as of March 25, unpasteurized, clinical samples of milk from sick cattle collected from two dairy farms in Kansas and one in Texas, as well as an oropharyngeal swab from another dairy in Texas, have tested positive for the virus.

Now that bird flu has been identified as the culprit, dairy farmers are being urged to strictly implement “all standard biosecurity measures”

Officials are strongly advising dairy producers to use all standard biosecurity measures. They note it’s important for producers to clean and disinfect all livestock watering devices and isolate drinking water where it might be contaminated by waterfowl. Farmers are also being asked to notify their herd veterinarian if they suspect any cattle within their herd are displaying symptoms of this condition.

I was quite shocked to learn that this was happening right here in our own country.

The good news is that all milk from sick cows is being kept out of the food chain

“Also, routine testing and well-established protocols for U.S. dairy will continue to ensure that only safe milk enters the food supply. In keeping with the federal Grade ‘A’ Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO), milk from sick cows must be collected separately and is not allowed to enter the food supply chain. This means affected dairy cows are segregated, as is normal practice with any animal health concern, and their milk does not enter the food supply. Consumers in the United States and around the world can remain confident in the safety and quality of U.S. dairy,” the statement said.

Will we eventually get to a point where entire herds of dairy cows have to be killed in order to prevent the spread of the disease?

Let’s hope not.

Earlier this month, we learned that a goat in Minnesota has also tested positive for bird flu

A goat in Stevens County, Minnesota, has tested positive for highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), becoming the first U.S. detection of HPAI in a domestic ruminant. The goat contracted the virus after a poultry flock on the same premises was depopulated in February due to the virus. Following the confirmation of HPAI in the goat, the Minnesota Board of Animal Health quarantined all other species on the premises. The Board said is working with USDA to investigate the transmission of the virus in this case.

It appears to be just a matter of time before the bird flu starts becoming a significant threat to humans as well.

According to Dr. Chris Walzer, “dozens of mammalian species” have already been infected…

In January, Dr Chris Walzer, the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Executive Director of Health, in a statement, said: “It (H5N1) has infected over 150 wild and domestic avian species around the globe as well as dozens of mammalian species. The bird flu outbreak is the worst globally and also in US history, with hundreds-of-millions of birds dead since it first turned up in domestic waterfowl in China in 1996.”

We better hope that the bird flu does not mutate into a form that can spread very easily among humans.

Because according to the NIH, bird flu can have a death rate of more than 50 percent in humans…

As of November 2022, 240 cases of human avian influenza A (H5N1) virus have been confirmed from the Western Pacific Region since 2003 with a case fatality rate of 56%.

A global bird flu crisis would be far worse than anything that we have experienced during the past several years.

Just try to imagine the panic that would ensue if H5N1 were to start killing millions of people around the world.

Hopefully that will not happen any time soon.

Earlier today, I did come across an article about a 21-year-old student in Vietnam that was just killed by H5N1

A student in Vietnam has died of H5N1 bird flu, according to the country’s Department of Preventive Medicine.

The 21-year-old man developed symptoms of fever and a cough on March 11. A week later, he presented at Ninh Hoa Medical Center in Vietnam’s eastern Khanh Hoa province, where he was diagnosed with pneumonia and transferred to Khanh Hoa General Hospital.

The student tested positive for highly pathogenic avian influenza on March 20, and further tests conducted two days later at the Nha Trang Pasteur Institute showed the patient was infected with the H5N1 subtype.

Let us pray that this was just an isolated incident.

Meanwhile, other pestilences continue to spread all over the planet.

For example, dengue fever has become a major problem in Brazil, and now government officials in Puerto Rico have declared a dengue fever epidemic

On Monday, government leaders in Puerto Rico declared a dengue epidemic after a spike in cases of the mosquito-borne disease hit the island.

From the start of the year through March 10, there were 549 cases, including 341 hospitalizations and 29 severe cases, according to the most recent data provide by the Puerto Rico Department of Health. Cases are concentrated in cities including San Juan, Bayamon, Guaynabo and Carolina.

I have been repeatedly warning my readers that global pestilences would be one of the major themes of the next several years.

Bird flu has already killed hundreds of millions of birds, and now it is spreading in mammals.

A widespread bird flu outbreak among humans would have the potential to be absolutely catastrophic, and so we will want to watch this story very, very closely.
