Posted on 04/05/2024 7:26:02 AM PDT by bitt

Good morning, C&C family, it’s Friday! This morning’s post tumbles down the Great American Eclipse rabbit hole, with at least one wild, rarely-mentioned conspiracy theory surviving scrutiny; and the next 100-year pandemic has probably not arrived 96 years early, in spite of what the media wants you to believe.

This morning I gave in to the eclipse hype — everyone else is talking about it. I put it all under a skeptical microscope, but at least one conspiracy theory remained not easily explained. Let’s begin with Forbes’ spooky story yesterday, headlined “Here’s Why The Total Solar Eclipse Has Prompted States Of Emergency In Parts Of U.S.” What on Earth is an eclipse emergency? And why now? After all, we just had a similar eclipse only seven years ago without any declarations of emergency? Do they know something?

As you are probably well aware by now, on Monday the Moon will blot out the Sun, dramatically dragging its shadow across the entire United States. The undocumented eclipse will jump Texas’s border around 1pm Eastern time. Around 3:30pm, like a supersized Chinese spy balloon, it will float out of Maine’s east coast.

2024’s Great American Eclipse is pretty much the same as 2017’s great eclipse, except it’s going the other way this time. Criss, cross.

By all accounts, experiencing the day-to-night phenomena during a total eclipse makes for unforgettable memories. In 2017, Michelle and the kids drove up to North Carolina for the event, and she often describes it with a sense of wonder and amazement. (I was stuck home litigating a jury trial that week).

Eclipses are not particularly rare. Around a half dozen times every year, somewhere or other, fully or partially, the Moon eclipses the Sun.

That said, it is unusual to have two total eclipses within a few years of each other crossing the United States in an “X” pattern. The last time it happened — possibly the only other time — it was two eclipses five years apart, the first flying over in June 1806, and the second passing overhead in September 1811. They intersected near Cleveland.

Then, three months after the second eclipse closed the “X” in December 1811, came another unique historical event: a five-month series of two thousand of the most devastating earthquakes in U.S. history. It really shook things up.

According to the City of New Madrid, Missouri website, in recorded history of the entire world, no other earthquakes have lasted so long or produced so much evidence of damage as did the New Madrid earthquakes. They occurred along something called the New Madrid seismic faultline — hence the city’s interest — which happens to be located right around where the 2017/2024 eclipses will intersect this coming Monday. That’s the first coincidence connecting the two pairs of “X” eclipses.

Even more eerily, the 1811 earthquakes and the 1811 eclipse were preceded by the appearance of a great comet visible around the world. And what do you know? The 2024 eclipse is also preceded by the appearance of a great comet visible around the world — a great comet the media first creepily called the Devil’s Comet but now ominously calls the Mother of Dragons Comet. It’s green. So that’s another connection between the 1811 and 2024 eclipses.

I suggest subscribing to his daily newsletter (free).

Childers is a rare breed of conservative, informed, skin in the game lawyer, in Florida.

I have found the writing to be excellent and informative.

I don’t live very far from the New Madid fault...

I dropped my Lloyd’s of London earthquake insurance from my policy a couple of years ago... perhaps I should go renew that...

If this fault were to go off bigtime though I wonder just how an insurance firm would survive to pay off their obligations... even an outfit as big as Lloyds..

taking note:

Check this out: the Chesterfield, Missouri Pfizer plant was in or near 2017’s total eclipse path, and is also in or near 2024’s total eclipse path.

Thanks for posting. I love a good storyteller and this guy is great. The Pfizer angle to it and also the timing of Potato Head’s certification make it a fun read.

We may well be coming down to it with finality.

FIRST
Biden has thrown down the gauntlet to Israel, BETRAYING our relationship with a friend and ally - and God's people. The Biden Admin has DEMANDED that Israel declare a cease fire and negotiate with Hamas. As Larry Kudlow said on the Fox Business Channel: How does one negotiate with someone whose sole intent is to kill you? Behind the scenes this admin is trying to force Israel in to new elections, determined to replace Bibi Netanyahu, whom they hate.

If they can manipulate events to the point of forcing Israel to 'negotiate' a peace treaty with Hamas, that COULD be the fulfillment of the prophecy of Israel signing a seven year peace treaty. That would be a BIG road sign saying: Entering Great Tribulation - Keep Left !!!

SECOND
Europe and NATO are beginning to show signs of forcing the entrance of Ukraine in to the NATO alliance - which will bring the United States in to direct confrontation with Russia. That threat might force China to join Russia to precipitate World War III!

Joe Biden is, of course, a facilitator of the international cabal that is working so hard to bring about the very events that will bring about the Great Tribulation. Obviously THERE IS A HUGE SPIRITUAL WARFARE going on right now. As Christian prophets have been saying, there is a strenuous effort to open a 'portal' that would allow ancient demonic spirits to reenter the present world. For example, NASA plans to launch rockets into the path of the eclipse April 8 'to obtain scientific data' concerning atmospherics in the path of the shadow; the name of that launch project is Apep, an ancient Egyptian 'god' of darkness and chaos.

If the global cabal can succeed in all of these efforts - trap Israel into a peace treaty with evil - and bring on the threat of World War - then events will have moved beyond control of any group like Q or the military to rescue the day. God's Divine Will for the apocalypse and the end of this 'age' will be irreversible and the die will be cast {Purim.}

In August of 2022 I wrote Amanda Grace, a Christian prophetess, as well as others and identified Yuval Noah Harari as likely the False Prophet. At almost the exact same time another Christian minister and prophet, Robin Bullock, also identified Harari as the False Prophet.

Harari offers the message that God's creation is flawed and 'we' can now improve on that by adding cyber technology into the body to create cyborgs. This message, that 'we' can improve on God's creation, is exactly the same message that the serpent issued to Eve in the Garden of Eden. Harari is the spiritual brains behind the World Economic Forum {WEF}. where he is perfectly placed to guide events into a world governing structure by the globe's richest and most elite. When all seems 'settled' Harari could betray the global power to the Man of Perdition, the antichrist, who cannot be revealed until that which hindereth is removed.

I saw the eclipse in 2017 in Geneva, NE and don’t recall any apocalypse. Traffic on I-80 was very heavy after the eclipse, but other than that nothing. I expect the prophets of doom predicting the apocalypse next Monday will be disappointed on Tuesday

We joined the C&C Army years ago. My wife reads me the highlights every night, even when I’m traveling for work. It’s become a strong tradition. Jeff Childers is incredible and a great resource.

We made it a point to meet him at the DC Medical Freedom rally a couple years ago. We’ve also participated in many of his donation challenges to help like minded people.

We have several family members meeting near Cleveland for the Eclipse. It truly is an example of the heavens declaring the glory of God.

I advised them all to top off their gas tanks when they get nearby and to have some water and snacks handy. The ride home may be a challenge with heavy traffic volumes.

From the article:


So as you can easily imagine, people are a wee bit jittery over all the intersecting eclipses, great comets, and geographic coincidences. Still, one may easily chalk the 1811 earthquakes, comets, and eclipses up to natural coincidence, without invoking anything supernatural. (Note there is some unsettled scholarship potentially linking eclipses and earthquakes, presumably somehow related to tidal forces.)

But since we live in a post-pandemic, social-media world, where influencers constantly require ever more controversial, eyeball-grabbing content, a wild frenzy of speculation about the eclipse’s effect has flooded the electronic airwaves with thousands of hours of chilling new content. I would be shocked if you haven’t seen at least some of them.

Virtually any eclipse-related apocalyptic scenario you could imagine has been predicted and described online at great length.

Getting back to the Forbes article, it reported that a slew of cities and counties have officially declared states of emergency in the face of Monday’s eclipse. The answer given to the question posed by Forbes’ headline — why? — was unsatisfying. The explanation had nothing to do with post-earthquake disaster recovery, devil comets influencing people to bite each other like rabid zombies, or the even cleaning up the mess created by the Rapture.

Nope. The emergency-declaring areas cited increased traffic caused by out-of-town eclipse watchers. It might cause inconvenience and snarl some highways, and even clog a few cell tower communications for a couple hours. In other words, it’s a nothing-burger.

Still, it’s not completely unprecedented. Prior to the 2017 eclipse, FEMA issued a guidance with similar logic — traffic gridlock and so forth — and reported sending liaison officers to emergency operations centers in several states:

earthquake? UFOs?

I doubt it. I think the complete answer is the pandemic addicted them to emergency powers.

For just one example, most emergency ordinances let cities and counties award no-bid, no-oversight contracts. That means mayors and county chairmen can ‘buy’ goods and services from whoever they want, since it’s an emergency, without needing any pre-approval or signoff from pesky, skeptical councils, commissions, or purchasing departments. It’s perfectly legal to hire your cousin at emergency rates for “traffic management consulting” or some similar undefined and unquantifiable service.

Basically, states of emergency smoothly bypass all the difficult, bureaucratic rules with all their due process and their safeguards and their checks and balances, which just gum up all the great stuff local officials really want to do. Need to do something unpopular? Declare an emergency. Need to do something fast? Declare an emergency. Have a deadlocked council? Declare an emergency.

It’s super simple! The best part is, when you think about it, anything can be an emergency. Just check the day’s headlines. Let’s see what we have to work with today … anything will work … and here’s one! How about a bug emergency? From the New York Times:

So that’s what I think. I think all the eclipse states of emergency are really about graft and political opportunism. The good news is many states — like Florida — have already started reining in local emergency authorities. But much work remains. Local, local, local.

🕶️ But wait! I teased this story mentioning a conspiracy theory I couldn’t so easily dismiss… and here it is. I have no idea what to make of it. But during my eclipse research, I ran across something I could not so easily chalk up to mere coincidence. This one is really bizarre. Take another look at the map again, at the central intersection, where New Madrid and its earthquake fault line are located. Something else lives there, and it’s much weirder:

To set the table, there is a third eclipse we haven’t mentioned yet. On December 14, 2020 — remember that date — a total solar eclipse passed across South America. Here it is:

us lay in that eclipse’s path. Yawn. But then … in a mildly interesting coincidence, the date of the 2020 South American Eclipse happened to lie exactly at the midpoint of the two Great American Eclipses. Behold:

August 21, 2017 ←→ 1211 days ←→ December 14, 2020 ←→ 1211 days — April 8, 2024.

Huh. So that’s a little curious, right? But it gets much curiouser. On the same date as the middle eclipse — December 14, 2020 — two insanely significant things happened here in the United States. First, Joe Biden was certified as Resident by the Electoral College. So, there’s that bit of insanity. But that’s not even the big one.

Second, on December 14, 2020, exactly halfway between the two Great American Eclipses, and on the same day as the South American eclipse, nurse Sandra Lindsay became the first American outside of clinical trials to be vaccinated for covid-19. Sandra got Pfizer. But forget about Sandra. The point is, December 14, 2020 was also the vaccine’s release date.

So … the deadliest medical intervention and biggest manmade disaster in history started on the day of a total eclipse, and was perfectly bracketed on both sides of the calendar by total eclipses, eclipses that happen to make an “X” over the same country that produced that same disastrous intervention.

So … the deadliest medical intervention and biggest manmade disaster in history started on the day of a total eclipse, and was perfectly bracketed on both sides of the calendar by total eclipses, eclipses that happen to make an “X” over the same country that produced that same disastrous intervention.

I’ll grant you, all of that is weird and wildly coincidental. But I don’t put much stock in numerology, or astrological coincidences, and I’m not supernatural about eclipses. Thus, given only the facts I’ve reported so far, I still probably would not have taken up the time this morning to write about the Pfizer triple-eclipse connection.

But then, one more domino dropped and that was it. It got even weirder.

Turn out, the first batches of Pfizer, including Nurse Sandra’s shot, were almost certainly produced in a Pfizer manufacturing facility located in Chesterfield, Missouri, which was one of Pfizer’s very first facilities that made the vaccine.

Check this out: the Chesterfield, Missouri Pfizer plant was in or near 2017’s total eclipse path, and is also in or near 2024’s total eclipse path.

In other words: the Pfizer shots, which were first deployed precisely halfway between the two Great American Eclipses on the calendar, were also made inside the paths of both of those Great American Eclipses. Meaning, right where they intersect at the “X”:

X marks the spot. Or, the shot.

Nothing particularly interesting to us lay in that eclipse’s path.

I’ll add this: It’s also an odd coincidence that the 7-year “tribulation” period in Daniel is split in half and described in... wait for it... Daniel 12:11... (but the time period is 1290 days rather than 1211):

Daniel 12:11 NKJV
And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days.

But our seven-year period of trouble is bookended by two total lunar eclipses and split down the middle by Biden becoming president (a mini-abomination of desolation).

One other point of interest. Many believe that the heavenly sign found in Revelation 13 happened on September 23, 2017, just a month after the first of these two eclipses. (I have noted that the dragon in the biblical vision is notably absent.) Many also consider 2017 to be a “year of jubilee” in connection with the prophetic calendar.

Just for the record, I think this comparison is based on similarities that are coincidental but very interesting nonetheless. Maybe there is more to this than meets the eye.

Let me add a little of this “curiouser”..

I have always viewed two signature events as marking the era when evil, corrupt government declared war on its citizens.. They were:

The feds murdering Randy Weaver’s son and wife in Idaho..
And the feds murdering the Branch Davidians in Waco a couple years later..

The 2017 eclipse came sorta close to Ruby Ridge, Idaho..
The 2024 eclipse dead centers Waco, Texas. On eclipse day, there are severe storms forecast for this location.. Almost to the hour. The eclipse then heads north and east and passes midway between Hope, Arkansas (birthplace of Bill Clinton) and the Mena airport. (google this up along with Barry Seal and Bill Clinton)

Significance? Probably zero.. But we never know do we?

Any eclipse around the time Elion Gonzales was stolen by SWAT at gunpoint?

That was the incident that hit me. I saw it on TV and immediately puked. It was visceral. In America. I could almost not believe it.
