DC prepares for Trump’s military parade with 18 miles of fencing and 175 magnetometers

WASHINGTON (AP) - As the nation’s capital cleans up from the culmination of World Pride this past weekend, focus now shifts to a very different massive event — Saturday’s military parade to honor the 250th birthday of the Army and the 79th birthday of President Donald Trump.

“We’re preparing for an enormous turnout,” said Matt McCool of the Secret Service’s Washington Field office, who said more than 18 miles of “anti-scale fencing” would be erected and “multiple drones” would be in the air. The entire District of Columbia is normally a no-fly zone for drones.

Army officials have estimated around 200,000 attendees for the evening military parade, and McCool said he was prepared for “hundreds of thousands” of people.

“We have a ton of magnetometers,” he said. “If a million people show up, then we’re going to have some lines.”

Instead of calling it America's Military Parade, the worldwide MSM, worldwide, is calling it Trump's Military Parage.

Excellent!

parage (archaic) Lineage, parentage; rank, especially as high or noble.

We've got a fish AND a drinking pun in here, so it's truly a grand show of farce.

79, what timing:

The Torah begins with a large letter bet ("house"), so from the very beginning is

בראשית

"In the beginning"

1. literally a Big House
2. the meaning of the word "Pharaoh", and
3. Egypt is aka the "House of Bondage", so there's that.

In the Hebrew spelling alefbeit, Boaz is the name for the letter bet. (There's a chart on that page.)

Boaz [בֹּעַז] = 79

Boaz was King David's great-grandfather and thus of the very noble line-up that leads straight to the Messiah.

The name Boaz literally means By Strength, and it appears to celebrate man's personal vigor.

A show of parse:

The root בעז, just used in the Bible in relation to "Boaz" (see The Temple), perhaps expresses 'quick(ness)'.[3] The etymology of the name has been suggested by many[4] as be'oz, "in the strength of", or bo'oz, "in him (is) strength" from the root 'zz, "to be strong", hence the use of the name "Boaz" for one of the pillars at the portico of the temple (1 Kings 7:21),[5] although Biblical scholar Martin Noth preferred "of sharp mind".[6]

Another big bet:

Year-wise, "2000" is written as the letter bet with a geresh, like this:

'ב

That's how the letter is enlarged from its normal value of 2, to convert it into a 2000.

This 250th birthday-of-the-Army parade is to honor the ground forces of the

United States of America

"אַרְצוֹת הַבְּרִית שֶׁל אָמֵרִיקָה"

2000

.. the country that's The Greatest Show on Earth, the grandest experiment in human history for governing a free people.

It was a really big bet.
