Pompeo Urges Americans Abroad To Return Home Immediately
The Hill ^ | 03/31/20 | Joseph Guzman

Posted on 04/01/2020 5:15:57 PM PDT by Enlightened1

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said it’s unknown how long flights from other countries will continue operating, so Americans abroad who wish to return should do so immediately.

Pompeo warned that the window to bring Americans home from abroad could be closing.

Pompeo said more than 26,000 U.S. citizens from more than 50 countries have been repatriated back to the U.S.

The top diplomat said the repatriation task force remains committed to bringing all Americans home.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is urging Americans who are still abroad and wish to return to the United States to do so “immediately,” as commercial and government-chartered flights could soon stop due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“Americans who wish to return home from abroad should do so immediately and make arrangements to accomplish that,” Pompeo said during a Tuesday briefing.

Pompeo said his repatriation task force is committed to bringing all U.S. citizens home, but cautioned that the window to do so is becoming more narrow.

“We do not know how long the commercial flights in your countries may continue to operate,” he said. “We can’t guarantee the U.S. government’s ability to arrange charter flights indefinitely where commercial options no longer exist.”

Some nukes. I fear for L.A..

Most ships in the US and Red Chinese navies sunk.

Protracted end game.

My daughter just turned 22, married, finishing undergrad online married to a soldier on heightened alert. Locked down in Germany. Preparing for all contingencies. I really miss her right now. Was supposed to be visiting in May.

Well now this came out of left field - April 1st traditions involving Noah's dove, and also fish...

***

Although no Biblical scholar or historian is known to have mentioned a relationship, some have expressed the belief that the origins of April Fool's Day may go back to the Genesis flood narrative. In a 1908 edition of the Harper's Weekly cartoonist Bertha R. McDonald wrote:

Authorities gravely back with it to the time of Noah and the ark. The London Public Advertiser of March 13, 1769, printed: "The mistake of Noah sending the dove out of the ark before the water had abated, on the first day of April, and to perpetuate the memory of this deliverance it was thought proper, whoever forgot so remarkable a circumstance, to punish them by sending them upon some sleeveless errand similar to that ineffectual message upon which the bird was sent by the patriarch".[2]

>>>

April fish

In Italy, France, Belgium and French-speaking areas of Switzerland and Canada, April 1 tradition is often known as "April fish" (poisson d'avril in French, april vis in Dutch or pesce d'aprile in Italian). This includes attempting to attach a paper fish to the victim's back without being noticed. Such fish feature is prominently present on many late 19th- to early 20th-century French April Fools' Day postcards. Many newspapers also spread a false story on April Fish Day, and a subtle reference to a fish is sometimes given as a clue to the fact that it is an April Fools' prank.

April Fools' Day

Columbia ("dove") is the personification of America.
Jonah ("dove") - the story of Jonah is the story of a soul’s journey here on earth
The dove is also a symbol of the people Israel

"The dove" [ha-yonah היונה] = 76 (cf. "Spirit of..")

Looks like those who wouldn’t return in a timely fashion got booked on a 737 MAX.

A shooting one while we still have an advantage? And if so I believe we will even have Russia on our side (besides many others) because they have been attacked by the PRC virus as much as we have (not that you’ll get correct figures from them either).

One of the dates that determine the birth of Christ at Dec. 25 is Annunciation Day which is on March 25. 9 months between those two dates.

IIRC, the airline connection from Tehran via Kiev does not have facial recognition equipment.

Do not forget the number of Iranian “scientists” bebopping around our northern neighbor and that close connection with the Ukraine.

It appears the game of musical chairs has stopped playing the globalist tune.
