Los Angeles downtown (above) Jan. 8, 2025 as fires raged.
From Times Radio
and Sky News with incredible suddenness April 28, 2025, every corner of millions impacted.
Traveling to Lisbon, I ventured to a rest stop in the country when the impact began; rest rooms were dark as night. And, there were long lines. No pumps worked. People were more bewildered than scared. Scroll down for World Cup.
What the hell! Wanna meet your maker? watch to the end.
Greetings Jan. 19, 2026. NOAA gave warnings: satellites may be affected;
but Marine and flight applications were however lucky, no horrible emanations from the G4 solar Storm.

Brooklyn-Queens Staten Island tempest of September 16, 2010, away from the eye looked normal sort-of, one scene of the aftermath, not normal. Dark skies, big green clouds, strong clouds and pelting hail pummeled residents. The fracas in N.Y. actually began in the Rockies, moved across Kansas and Ohio drenching their inhabitants. Eleven days later, downtown Los Angeles broke the thermometer at 113˚F; the record.
Downtown residents of Atlanta will never forget this, March 14, 2008. Had there been no overtime, they would have walked right into it, 20,000 people lucked out. Significant and historic.
Beginning Jan.4, 2025 began a hellish wrath of winter. Half the country, 194 million--in Atlanta not seen since 2014. Simply extraordinary winters or "Oh, it is just another winter." How about it is just another Spring? Incredible pile-ups by winter-like weather in Colorado Apr. 14, 2026. Winds of 209 mph by Sinlaku Apr. 14, 2026.
You call this early Spring?
Greetings Springtime. Sunday May 17, 2026, Nebraska, the atmosphere was volatile and violent tornadoes erupted across the Central and Northern Plains. We may be at the cusp of a Super EL Niño. We, I believe, will see another El Niño like that of '97-98, but yes hurricanes taper down and are low in numbers. If you lived in Iowa, you remember the furious rain of June of '98, broke a century-old record—all sorts of records were broken thanks to that El Niño. When a roar repeats itself in history—onto the same town, Moore, Oklahoma; site of the first billion $ tornado. Thus far, the state of Illinois is leading the pack with 109 twisters in 2026, as of May 22 (as of June 7:119.) All you young guys, keep up the good work, us historians need you. If you are hit, that means you are homeless.) How many remember Hurricane Mitch? If you were enticed by the airlines with a low fare to Europe, that year, you availed yourself of the low fares. (I took off in March 1998, went to Europe—1-way to Frankfurt $100—from L.A.) If you visited England, you would have ran into another series of record flooding. Over in China an incredible 68.28 inches of rain fell, a record of records in NE and central China. Moral of the story, people will take off to their vacationlands in 2026--and despite crazy prices at the pump--it will also be a year, many families will become homeless as from afar, the international world will watch our rotating supercells with awe, unlike '98, we can share more things. But, '98 was also the year of crazy wild fires all over the planet. In particular America; hmm, have you not noticed the fires starting early in 2026? Even outside Miami in May. 2026 is the start of El Niño, when the ocean warms. International scientists do not care about politics, for they are outside the political spectrum. If you are under 30, a breathing El Niño that is dangerous is SLOP, but, your limitations on memory back to 1998 is like a fleeting cloud. We are not immune to El Niños, however, little or large. Oceanic Niño Index is absurdly large in 2026...All those with cameras, you are so brave to record history. High temperatures and the dangers of heat were forecast for June, 2026. Did it happen? Read below.
I'm afraid to say this, but we are not living in a moment of rumor, concerning the weather.

It is not the first time, see below, yet it is the 2nd year in a row the panhandle saw snow in January.

Moments with ITV
Planes, trains were stopped, and that included the Euro superspeed lightning passenger sets.
Airports were brought to a standstill. Control towers were dead as a doornail.
Elevators, street lights, sorry senor, no beauty saloons, TVs, ATMs had the juice to work.
No tree fell on some transformer. No flying bird laid an egg on some sensitive component, no terrorist shouted al akbar or whatever they shout, no plane, meteor, flying superman who had too much to drink smashed into anything.
Across the English Channel, the BBC gave you the scoop, but to this day nobody knows exactly why.
I was in Portugal when the blackout hit, it was neither hot or chilly, or unusually windy as we were approaching Lisbon. This might have been a practice run for Europeans who know of Luz de Maria, the mystic who has been on the mark the last couple of months, but I'm only an historian. She has recently warned to prepare of days of no power, note the s for plural not just a day. Before the oscillation of weirdness ended we stayed for a spell at a pit stop. I did not see fear in the faces of the people, it was more bewilderment and the wonder for how long they will be stuck. The cars who had tanks near E, they were really helpless. There were 2 other scenic buses beside ours next to the pumps that did not pump anything, beside a line of cars starving of gas, that kept getting longer and longer. We were lucky, our driver had filled it up at the station before this one. So we left them after half an hour or so. If you had cash, you bought a beverage or a snack, if not you were out of luck. When we first pulled in, nothing appeared out of the ordinary except that I thought boy, everybody is filling it up at this pit stop, maybe they have some sale? While entering from the line to wash my hands inside, I was thinking I was in the worst rest room in all of Europe. My luck, no lights it was hot in there, just a sliver of a window, then the word got swiftly around, a blackout!
At that time, I had never heard of Luz de Maria...she's described elsewhere.
There are moments in history that you will feel, sense something is unusual, when in your neck of the woods, you come face to face with wild and unusual weather phenomenon. Outside of your neck of the woods we had this: Intense wind gusts, crazy hail, crazy floods in June 2025. Everybody jokes about global warming. Dramatic video Las Vegas. While Texans in July of 2025 got walloped by disastrous flooding, in July of 2026 Texans faced the second 1000-year flood in just over one year. Unbelievable, the worst hit Kerr County, all of south central Texas. You cannot even go camping in a safe manner as CNN gives you the news. The prism of storms have always been with us, but not with such levels of intensity. City slickers in big tourist city of Milano, Italy (not really chaos but insanely intense.) Disruption in Taiwan, it is not that its a strong typhoon but, Typhoon Danas' landfall so fiercely early in the season? July 8, 2025, stadium and parts of Croatia hit by an unusual violent storm. Supercells of storms go round and round and create unsurpassed havoc. China's southern most island and touristy spot is a disaster zone July of 2025, simply remarkable—and no mercy baby—followed by Wipha mid-July of 2025. August 2025 Fujian was hit. Typhoon Ragasa, aka Hua Jiasha in China, was a Super Typhoon that pummeled Taiwan, Hong Kong, northern Philippines and China Sept. 23, especially cities Shenzhen and Zhuhai, shutting down transportation and bringing life to a standstill; its remnants as a tropical storm hit Vietnam. Super Typhoon Ragasa. Typhoon Fung-wong was not made up from Hollywood's 2012 cinema, but was a second monster to strike a region Nov. 9, 2025. A larceny, the falsity of Youtube can at times be too much, another video makes it sound it is happening and rebuilding all over again in January, this map even illustrates Florida not the Pacific, and a date of Jan. 8, 2026 to deprive your physical mind of real knowledge by fake news, all in the hope to register your button touch as a "visit."
Families headed to ski-slope country however, were met with the unexpected, mid-February 2026. But, the following was no make-believe, a Blizzard of blizzards w/wind gusts of 80 mph, a snowmageddon and reached over a million people (he had an injured back but still filmed it for you), akin to a bomb cyclone a storm for the ages--yes, the kids scream in happiness, no school!--at first, in the Big Apple didn't seem so bad, CASEY WITH HIS INFLATABLE SNOW JACKET, snowboard crazy even, until it turned into a ghost town, 51-sec walk about in the aftermath, do not mess around with snow plow workers. More New York City life. Yet, we must not forget, even though the cars in deep white snow looking like igloos were gone, the mess continued even as late into Feb. 26, 2026 —as the peak of the atmosphere storm moved on, there were days of endless recovery; a young 21-yr old student was found dead in his car buried in snow, kids did homework with a flashlight or a portable lamp, with over 160,000 people still without power along the East Coast —the last U.S. 2026 scenes courtesy of USA TODAY, NBCNEWS, ABC World News with David Muir, StormChaserAaronRigsby, JonathanPetramala, Casey, TinyGrowler, 1ShotTravel, and SON Street Food.

2026 and The World Cup
We must be reminded that in 2026, the soccer World Cup came to the Americas. Eleven U.S. stadiums hosted the tournament, which has expanded from 32 to 48 teams. However, this will not be like 1994, when the United States last held it, things associated with the weather such as variables like the rising heat index, and unstable climatic junctions made life interesting. Moreover, the Europe that had existed in 1994 exists no more; the complexion of society is truly different in 2026 (long video47 mins with a shift in Spain toward more conservatism which seems amazing). If you are an affluent European, you faced little problems. However, that was not the end of problems, as the U.S., beset by war and traveling restrictions, notably Visa entry rules, was also beset by an Ebola problem in Africa. People dreamt of games with a soft breeze flowing, and temperatures below 83 degrees. What a dream. What NY state +NYC did face in May of 2026 includes this "no recent baloney." The FIFA World Cup in '94 was played in 9 venues, this time there were 16, strewn across 3 continents. North America 1994 was not in a developing cauldron of climatic changes, and was not in an El Niño year. You may not have traveled into all three continents, but some international teams traveled by air all over the place with their entire entourage. The Midwest—and that includes both the U.S. and Canada—plays yearly to the tune of twisters, sometimes extending into Summer. Every captain at the 2026 World Cup.
Miami may be balmy but that was nothing. Stadium fans in Boston, NY-NJ, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Monterey and Guadalajara (both Mexico), and perhaps Kansas CIty had fans turning into lobsters as umbrellas were not allowed, unless they played at night. While there was dancing in the streets, ordinary people were being fleeced by loony ticket prices of the World Cup; the Mayor of NYC was able to snag 1,000 tickets at 50 bucks for New Yorkers, lucky them; May 20 in Atlanta. Canadian reservations to the World Cup at first. (Remember, Canada and Mexico have no tornado alley, and were not visited by historic blizzards or floods; thanks CNN.) Canada gave FIFA the VIP treatment and what did they get in return? The pace is that despite FIFA receiving special treatment, with special police escorts and VIP stadium boxes, the FIFA President stuck to his special excuse of a phrase, it is "revenue-generating time." Extended to all the world, in reality. Thank you suckers. Is it really a wonder why so many North American fans saw the game not live in a stadium, but from their video screens? Yet, the hordes did manage to see games live, but at what price?
The last World Cup lasted 32 days, this time it expanded to 39 days.
Eleven U.S. stadiums hosted the World Cup, all had counter drone technology, but how and what they faced in terms of weather, we will report. High-flying winds, however already caught many New Yorkers the weekend of June 6 with a hit to the jaw. ABC News showed roof top party goers in mayhem as the winds hit them causing everything to fly. Several high profile events were cancelled. The NY Yankees-Red Socks game was postponed. The Governor's Ball Music Festival was forced to close early ahead of storm cells creeping closer. Great American State Fair in July was postponed. Washington DC Parade cancelled due to 108˚F, the hottest July 4 in 150 years. Uncooperative weather marched on Philadelphia. Back in 1776, it was 76˚F with a delightful breeze. Daytime festivities escaped, however by nightfall, it was requested for folks to take cover. Maestro, please. And, a one and a twoa and a three.
Lumen Field sort of lucked out in Seattle, they had a breeze, near the ocean, but also homeless hordes—so listen to this Seattle native, Jason. The early summer in N. America, I predict based on scientists, will escape EL Niño, but not the rising heat index. Los Angeles hosted tournament games at So Fi Stadium, with its hybrid design and a roof that does not touch its walls, enclosed capacity: 70,000. The venue allows ocean breezes to flow through. First game: June 12 at the L.A. venue, temps 77˚F. Downtown was 89˚F. If you would like to read about the U.S. soccer team in 2026, press.
Miami is also so lucky, it has the Hard Rock Stadium, which has overhead protection (92%) from the elements. Full capacity 80,000, situated in Miami Gardens, Florida. To top it off, unlike other venues beset by hotel, seating and ticket sales, things were rosy in Florida. And, for you Catholics in the corner, a most unusual relic went traveling to Orlando, Florida, on June 10-12 when the relics of St. Margaret Mary Alocoque of France were on display as the U.S. bishops held a special ceremony: consecrate the United States to the Sacred Heart of Jesus; part of a U.S. trip from Paris to the USA June-September. First game in Miami was June 16, Arabia vs Uruguay. A big game resulted Colombia vs Portugal on June 27. Tickets only $3,239 each. Only? During the World Cup, stadium will be known as Miami Stadium, capacity expected to be 64,000. Hard Rock logo, stadiums courtesy of Wiki. Stadium photos authors:

Two western cities with matches, S.F. (really in Santa Clara) and L.A., have their stadiums far away from the downtown hordes of homeless indigents; unfortunately I know, for they exist in my birth place of L.A. in such numbers that did not exist before. So far, hotel bookings in L.A. not rosy. I must add, tourism is turning rosier, including Philly as stated in this FOX report. Note: if you are using an old version of safari, increase magnification. Inclement weather overall did not greatly affect the World Cup, but let us not lie that it was all clear. [It has happened before.]
Squeezing a heat wave and rain storm in the same week.
Things started in the West first.
Fast-moving wildfires raged across the West, with 170 million affected by Heat alerts mid-July. The World Cup week of July 12 represented a most unusual series of weather phenomena that followed. Heat, floods, gut-wretching smoke and fires. Hot weather, first showed itself over the landscape and as the days rolled by, it got progressively worse. That included NJ, and also the home of the Dallas Cowboys, which is really 25 miles n. of Dallas in Frisco, Texas. (Mid-June it had flooding in parts of Houston. They lucky.) This is not AI in Dallas, as a sea of orange in Arlington barely escaped the worst, complete with an orange bus. Scotland's team was out of this world but they escaped the worst--I don't know what it is, but I just love bagpipes (Boston, on to Fenway.) These types of floods, pun intended, were of a different nature: Kilts, bagpipes flood Boston. Viking fans go full Viking mode. The super stadiums with no roof or climatic control: MetLife Stadium (NJ); Lincoln Financial Field (Philly); Gillette Stadium (Boston); Arrowhead Stadium (KC); Estadio Azteca (Mexico City); Estadio Akron (Guadalajara); Estadio BBVA (Monterrey)--we hoped and boy, did we get a good answer, no flooding repeated in Mexico like last year 2025.
As for the Fourth of July it was very hot, a normal summer? But you suffered. State fairs, July 4th activities, baseball games along with the World Cup were affected. Sport fans still had fun, if you were smart.
The hottest day of the World Cup, incidentally, was generated on July 3, with a scorching heat index: NJ-NYC 110˚F; Philadelphia 111˚F, not 99-100˚F; Boston 106˚F; KC 102˚F; Washington DC 111˚F; Harrisburg 110˚F; Hartford 114˚F; St. Louis 109˚F; Baltimore 114˚F; Atlanta 105˚F; Dallas 100˚F; Nashville 110˚F. NYC at night went down to only 84˚F Friday morn. Miami 100˚F July 3 as Messi and his team hit the field with, for the record, the lowest pair of tickets: $1791; rest between 2-3 grand. The quarterfinal in Boston non-end zone choice seats: $2,200-$10,257 per person. (Congratulations NY Knicks, for capturing the NBA Championship.) But, the level of heat over the East never really disappeared and it affected over 200 million. Luckily, by the following week the heat dome became history, only to be replaced by other things that impacted America ... skies darkened at least 19 U.S. states circa July 17 because of wild fires stemming from the U.S. Canadian border near the Great Lakes, and breathing was not great for people as air quality hoovered between unhealthy to hazardous. Care to take a look at the weird skies to remember history? Orange USA; notice people with masks for protection. It began a few days earlier, from the MW first, then the jet stream brought it to the East—1000 miles away. The city that never sleeps. Stormy afternoon in the Tri-States. But, it began clearing in time for Sunday’s final. World Cup painted subway service were about to come to an end. What the heck, like the eighties, things end but there is room for memories.
When America hosted the World Cup in 1994, those series of matches gave FIFA such a profit because of the public response that attended the matches--the stadiums were full to the brim, it—to this day—remains the all-time attendance record holder of all the FIFA World Cups that hosted 64 matches, with a phenomenal 3.5 million spectators. We beat Europe, and we are not even considered a soccer fanatical nation. Tickets for example, ranged between $35 to $65 for a group stage match; and adjusting for inflation that comes out to $74-$125.
Three American states waived their taxes for FIFA26, and how do they repay Americans? with thousand dollar tickets, few can afford, courtesy of The Athlete. The standard of FIFA today is to raise the idea of greed, lust and the Scrooge mentality over everything else, period. Just because we now have bigger stadiums than we did in '94 does that give FIFA and their lawyers the right to turn into Scrooges and get away with it? Americans are not stupid when they hear the slogan of FIFA 2026 "Football(soccer) unites the world" with the hidden sucker clause, as long as you empty your pockets for FIFA. If you are living in the United States and you were hit hard by a natural catastrophe last month or a few months ago, do you think a family has hundreds of dollars to spend to attend a soccer game FIFA wants a couple of hundred per ticket? Some of America's greatest, devout soccer fans, families, young kids are in the East, but after getting plastered by mother nature, what life reserves do you think they have left? I wonder, how many families even have a television set after they got mugged by mother nature in Texas or the MW?
NOT even the business tycoons of America's last mid-century would screw us when it came to sports. Of course, think about this, what if all the FIFA lawyers hate America, and deliberately hiked the prices so that the USA fan-base would by, not showing up, and by making it hard for the international crowds to come over, show the world America will always be second rate when it comes to soccer and shift the blame on us? Some European die-hards would love that, but the majority do not. Many stadiums were full, but somebody should do a survey how it affected many families who were not affluent. As I figured it, many fans did not disappoint the world of soccer, they love sports too much and although were notably not able to attend the games in person—unless they paid for it with their handy credit card and went into debt— they attended the fan fests in droves, despite the torrid heat. Also—at least, there was plenty of free water offered. I cracked up when on one news channel I saw a sign of someone from the MidEast saying, "I sold my camel to get a ticket."
If push comes to shove, the loyal fans of soccer will attend fan fests and block parties without giving in to the ransom of the thieving rough riders of FIFA, such as what happened in the South Bay, right here in California; in fact, all across the United States this was repeated, without dishing out thousands to be inside a stadium. Over here in my hometown of Los Angeles, there were over 300 community events seperate from the 10 official Fan Zones. I am sure communities all over the country had similar fan fests. The Fan Fests in Los Angeles drew 250,000 visitors, source Good Day LA, July 20, 2026. FIFA once had style, and thought of the common person who built soccer growth in the past. (Speaking about the past. See the USA in your Chevrolet was a big commercial hit, with its catchy tune—heck this commercial, takes us to the 1950s-1960s, when old commercials had style.)
We should include the other areas of this country. However, if your father or mother had worked for the Federal government, and were one of those put "on furlough" in the last half year, do you think they can tell their kids, "Sure no sweat, I'll order 4 tickets at $200 each, what game do you want to go to?" You wish you had a pair of tickets to a quarterfinal? $1400. How about the FINAL? Tickets are only $8000. So far, instead of any possible changes for the people, we will probably see the heartless Italian-Lebanese-Swiss snook FIFA President Infantino not budge, not care about happy average soccer fans. He may know French, German and Italian as mother tongues and be able to speak in Arabic, English, Portuguese and Spanish, but no international fans will say he is a great guy, as long as he keeps stating, this was and is "revenue-generating time" with eye-popping ticket prices. During the baseball World Series last October, here in LA. we had something unique. Air-conditioned special theater like places, full of fans. They were not $20 but they were grand places to share memories, and your caboose would not bruise; the seats were super comfty... And, compare to what FIFA now has to offer, way better. Who needed to pay high loony prices? Same principle can apply to FIFA in the future. Many and their relatives with a super gigantic LD TV, had their own block party with family of cousins etc in their own home, had a good time with as much refreshments as they could afford, which cost less than the one single ticket FIFA had waiting for them. We Americans can be creative if we want to be. Tons more people attended restaurants or pubs or neighborhood fan parties/groupings. If you followed soccer, last December of 2025 the World Cup assigned groups and made a big television production, with flare and class, lots of music, but no ticket pricing was made at that time. (Surprise!, on Sunday May 31, 2026, the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte was filled with 57,741 fans as the USA defeated a speedy Senegal 2-1 in a World Cup tuneup, the African Champion, and which had defeated England last year 3-1 in Nottingham, England, an England which is ranked 4th in the world, 1 above Portugal.)
Then the pricing was announced. And, how things changed so drastic. It became a bigger uproar in Europe than any where else. All the world from other continents had to cross big oceans. And, the people were right. It is not too late to change. Countless Americans made friends with so many people from other lands in unimaginable ways and vice versa. Yet, Infantino will be remembered as the biggest snook of the soccer world, or football as they call it. All 11-year-olds of the world will remember this once-powerful man when they will reach adulthood. And, it they are lucky will talk to someone who lived the 1994 World Cup. We are in the era of international Smartphone technology, not 1970 when he was born. Many people are learning about a lot of things, thanks to that technology of wonders that did not really exist in 1994. Thank you to all those for your kind words about our country, from 50 states with geographics that may astound people. Flying a flag in the UK?
Like all good things that must come to an end, the World Cup came to a close on July 19. Just a day after people were being swallowed by floods across the country or realizing there was some heavy rain in NYC [never went entirely away 7-21-2026], the World Cup Final was played Sunday underneath beautiful blue skies. It was a game of Argentina vs Spain.
Those who had predicted a low scoring game were right, and it was not due to rain—they had lucked out and really missed all the rain. In the first half, nobody scored. In soccer, it was tactical. For many people it was the opposite of the third place match between England and France. That was an historic and exciting game. At the halftime break, you had a wonderful music program which was highlighted in my mind by Shakira and Burna Boy with their vibrant energy--complete halftime courtesy of FOX in case you have missed it. This was a first-ever halftime show in a Final—and that was historical—and for an abbreviated peak if you don't have time, click here. Many years ago, you had Pele, who won the Ballon D’Or, and Sylvester Stallone. Here they are as halftime guests at Soccer Bowl 80. This is Pele and examples of his skills, in case you may not know of him—skip the first min for a short cut if you like. Spain, which had not lost a game in 37 prior games, came out the strongest in the second half; it was also the European Champion however, again nobody was able to score. When Spain was given a free direct kick, Leonardo Paredes of Argentina went to argue with the referee, but that is not all. As he put up such a verbal fight with the ref that filled the lungs and heart of the ref, Paredes got so hot headed, he pushed a Spaniard player to the ground. He couldn't keep his mouth shut. The ref gave him a yellow card. In baseball and basketball, you may get away arguing with the referee, but if you slug someone or shove him/her to the ground, you get ejected in a snap for unsportsmanlike conduct.
At the 66th min mark, Spain's Lamine Yamal did a great center pass to forward Ferran Torress who headed it perfectly to the net, but into the hands of Argentina's goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez. He actually saved Argentina in the game, for he made 11 saves—the all-time record of all the Men's World Cup Finals (previous was 8.) The irony is that he played with a fractured ring finger in his right hand. He held #1 Spain scoreless in the regular 90 minutes. The bout was extended beyond the regular 90—still tied. Argentina's coach Lionel Scaloni tried the same tactic as England's Thomas Tuchel: to concentrate on your defense, and hold. Scaloni took out a forward and replaced him with another defender, leaving Messi as sole forward. Argentina planned to defend like crazy, and hope to get to the penalty shot, in which they felt they could defeat the Europeans. Royalty attended the big game, King Felipe VI of Spain, Queen Letizia, and their two daughters, Princesses Leonora and Sofia. Many stars were in the stadium like Will Farell, JC, Beyonce, Tom Cruise, Matt Damon, Romario, David Beckham, and Pharrell Williams, were watching the match along with a record-breaking and phenomenal 60 million television viewers in the United States—initially thought to be 39-40 million viewers—were watching a fight to the finish. What happened next, not one person was prepared for what happened next. In a bombshell, Argentina's Paredes did another grievous foul, received another yellow and was kicked out of the game, for 2 yellows make a Red and that spells expulsion. At the 105.37 mark of the match the man who missed at the 67 mark earlier, kicked in the winning score. He was actually left unmarked by Argentina's defense, left all alone. Fantastic as it may sound, they became the first nation in the world to hold both the Men's and Women's World Cup Championships. Other videos on the web show it more clearer, the four Argentinians and the goalie next to the goal, but all alone was Ferran Torres. It was a lapse in field play by the Argentinians. Argentina played the remainder of the match with one player less than Spain and could never tie. Spain's champion team with the King of Spain and Princess Leonor and Princess Sofia, although in many society realms, is called la Infanta—one princess who is not afraid, Leonor. Can't even walk around, there's protocol. Being royalty, means you have to follow all kinds of protocols, as one protocol means the future queen has to be at the King's right side at all times, especially in official photos; when they were growing up, kind of reminds me of Disney's Frozen and the protocols of Anna and Elsa—one of the author's favorite stories. They love their grandmother, Queen Mother Sofia of the House of Bourbon, graceful at 87 who is wise and even knows eight languages; Queen Mother's siblings, Princess Irene of Greece and Denmark, Constantine II of Greece. The Queen's hubby Juan Carlos had problems, like finance, and moved to United Arab Emirates, which is being attacked by Iran for varying blood-thirsty reasons. Since the year of COVID-19 has been living separately. As I said, their life is like Frozen, and unless you have a sister or brother, you may not understand. In the past, only men were allowed to rule Spain. No one takes their faith as a joke or misrepresents the sanctity of it, even in this day and age when Pope Leo visited Spain in June 2026. Don't get too friendly. Royal daughters were allowed to break Royal Protocol. Soccer (football) team celebrations with the Royal family June 19, 2026. Royal daughters lift the World Cup Again. Argentina had 25 fouls, 0 goals, 6 cards, one was red. Spain had 21 fouls, 0 cards and won. Top awards bestowed. The team from Spain was given a prize money of $50 million. Did you notice that during the opening minutes of the World Cup Final when they were singing the national anthems, the Spanish players did not sing. Why? Only Lamine can get away with it in the whole world; reminds me of King Alfonso X el Sabio who was revered and respected by Muslims. Little brother Kenye said the heck with everybody, "I love my brother." Lamine Yamal, unique as can be, The current version of the World Cup Trophy is the second which in the past was called the Jules Rimet Trophy, but was given to Brazil after it won the World Cup for three times.
AND, from another point of view of international soccer fans, we sadly, came close to an end of an era; not just one or two stars; some have already retired. New ones will always pick up the torch. However, to see some legends one last time in person, did not happen for countless people, thanks to Infantino, who never seemed to care. He was snug as a bear in a rug in the VIP sections of stadiums with the stars and affluent personalities. From the streets to the skies, we are still one mundo, and like in the past, even wars had stopped for the World Cup. Are Europeans really enthralled by our massive stadiums? Just remember stadiums, statistics etc are nothing without the people.
France is running out of chickens, or as they say in French les poulets. No more poulets. Western Europe is actually in a mini heat wave. The brutality of it, is that it is neither invented by cuckoo script writers or false news, this is for real. Over 100 million Europeans are feeling it, according to the latest statistics. CBS tells it as it is, French used to call air conditioning as wasteful. Budapest, Berlin, Rome, the works. Ya, primitive but effective, and even fun. Prague, too, and few patches of green in sight. European homes are turning into heat traps, from Ireland and Denmark eastward. The chickens aren't the only ones roasting. In the sizzling heat wave, at least 1300 people have died in the continent. Ah, correction, it has surpassed 2000. While over 90% of homes in the U.S. have air conditioning, in Europe it is 20%, and in the UK it is worse, a shocking 5%. I read somewhere, only 28% of hospitals in Germany have A/C. Britain bakes. UK wildfire nears 3 Nuclear plants. In some parts of Europe, the heat disrupted electricity. Do you remember seeing London's red double decker buses? Only the newer ones have tinted glass, reflective roofs, and additional insulation. A select few have very recent zero-emission energy components--like BYD models-- that feature true air conditioning, but most do not. Some allow you to open a window, but I have ridden in buses in summer with buses that open windows, they do nothing for your comfort you just swelter till you hit your destination. London's so-called new air-cooling systems are not full air conditioning as you know them in America because it circulates air only, and people in the upper deck when the temperatures reach the extreme summer heat index fry like eggs. Those buses use only forced air, and if the air is murderously hot, that is what you get. Some Britains argue aircon systems are brittle and hit a breaking point easily, thus they claim it is not worth the money to fix it. Too bad for the passengers, our buses in America do not have all these types of problems; maybe Britain needs U.S. help? Subway lines (except the Waterloo tube) provide driver cab A/C. Incidentally, a friend told me the buses in Rome have full working A/C systems. While the European Union is acting dumb by not making a structured response and stick to a cave man mentality, the elderly and the young are suffering the most. Thousands are left dead, more than in 2003. The very latest. Mais oui, zinc traps heat.
Wretched floods that will be worse than this? that tear asunder the hearts, are spoken about in Sister Lucia's recent biography released 11 years ago, and, by two other principles in the new ebook by Valentine, with an ascending uniqueness, that throttles the genesis of historical accuracy that go beyond just floods. In my world studies concerning the future, could we be seeing an array of repeating levels of greater intensity of odd worldwide phenomena?
Some say chalk this up as the forces of nature. Some say this is part of the messages humanity is supposed to receive before the time of great changes spoken in the Bible, or in ancient native American stories.
The complete story is described in Valentine's book Alert For The Times, with information that exists beyond your wildest imagination. Dating back to a Catholic prophecy almost 100 years is something most Christians have no inkling it exists. Few Fatima scholars, moreover, mention the connectors, and even fewer people in the ordinary way of life know of one distinct fact, incredibly connected to the Third Secret of Fatima, that we dare not reveal it outside the pages of the ebook. In the fray of this, what is real? what is an imagination? When the world is busy with worldly affairs, it is unfortunately mentally and spiritually not willing to listen, and that shapes the dominant way to live. America may be absorbed with liberty, and the asthetics of freedom, and decorated with all manner of free speech, be it good or not that good. All religions can have a voice. If we cannot connect you to the spiritual, however, perhaps the myriad examples lavishly shown on this page, that consist of concrete, worldly examples, within the spectrum of a sophisticated internet civilization, may make you pay attention, as the world progresses (digresses?) down the dwindling spirituality road.
But, if you are very young, too bad for you, for you will miss the main train. The first thing you will see is the number of hits a video supports, and if you notice it to be a low number, zim, zam, bam you will compulsively be disheartened and skip it.
Multi-car pileups in blizzard conditions in Michigan. The high Sierras Feb. 2026 California country. Parts of Espana were hit by this. A huge solar flare erupted May 13, 2025. This article pays reference to a 2003 X-level flare. The quote is wrong, it was not an X-28 because it was an X-45 that barely missed Earth, and thank goodness that it did; it is described in the digital book Alert For The Times, Book of Secrets.
Remains from past floods and hurricanes, like Helene, big power outage numbers, it is all in the mix. Listen to the above riveting story from Nathaniel and Julian found at the very top of this page—the unexpected, no water and that means no toilet that works, a serious scenario when 40 trillion gallons of rain flooded the South, what's next?
What the heck is this? This was two years ago. Not even Chicago, but in the Big Apple, New York City. The red look was not AI generated or through a filter. She was right, looks like a horror film. The particular matters of dust blankets metropolis Chicago, May 16, 2025. AND, in repetitive form early July 2025 in Chicago, July 2026 repeated again.
But, Maj. Dames forewarned in the near future solar activity will bring unimaginable danger that will affect the ordinary person. It goes beyond one single Major Dames. It goes beyond on who to blame, beyond the pro-global factions vs the anti-global warming spheres.
Many corners of life will be affected? No worry, I got my Smartphone. Oh yeah?

Can life be more hazardous or is it all an imagination? In some parts of the world, as in France, or the latest in the Philippines, are they an imagination too? or is there something more, attuned to the drastic changing climate of the world? Can the lousy soaring heat be blamed on this inside Spain in July 2025?—an old 60-yr old got the worst of it. While we shake and bake, down Argentina they are freezing; was even colder in Maquinchao at 3.2˚F, -16˚C. When the "stench is unbearable" (advance to the 1.38 min mark). Technology could not come to the rescue. And, these examples are here in the good old USA, not some far-away country. This is no speculation, at least 2,300 people dead in 10 days over in Europe last year; initial reports: 1,500. Now, 2026 has topped 2025. I had written about the era of the El Niño of 1997, including the Atacama Desert. Some recent 2025 thermometer readings in Moscow were hotter than in Egypt or tropical Thailand. Some scientists say the peak of this heat anomaly lies ahead.

Western Europe breaks record
[The island of Sicily holds the European record for the hottest day (Aug. 11, 2021 at 119.8˚F ; 48.8˚C), but on the continent itself, the infernos of Pinhåo, Portugal at 116.6˚F (46˚C) on July 14, 2022; 46.6˚C June 29, 2025 Portugal; tiny town of El Granado, Huelva, Spain hit 46˚C, June 28, 2025, 115˚F; 41.4˚C July 1, 2025 France are no laughing matter.] First you boil then this hits in Lombardy area, Italy July 5, 2025. Planet Pulse July 5, 2025. Big relief for World Youth Day held in Rome, Aug. 2, 2025 compared to Youth Day 2023, when literally they boiled in Sunday's outdoor Mass with no shade anywhere for the youngsters, as temps hit 105˚F under Pope Francis—the complete story is found in Alert For The Times, Book of Secrets, video courtesty of CNS. Unfortunately, we are not through with heat. In 2026, Portugal hit an all-time national heat record for the month of May when temperatures peaked at 104.5 ˚F (40.3˚C) recorded recently on May 27, 2026. It broke the previous record of 40.0 ˚C. A consequence of not being prepared for the heat , results in tragic events, like death. The latest from CNN is a tragic as it gets. Wildfires rage near Madrid. La roja, la lumbre, 2026 que año. Wildfires in Spain force thousands to evacuate in 2026 just north of Madrid but was repeated almost like 2025. The heat dome also drove an unprecedented severe heat wave across Western Europe 2026.
Paradise is Now Coming with Frequency of Nasty Storms
Damage points are more frequent, parents clutching children as winds fiercely whip outside, glass paned windows blown. You are at nature's mercy. What you should know about Bikes and Beards, Americans helping Americans. Another exemplary video of real life.
Just remember, all videos that you see, you are seeing them in the comfort of your home, but to those who lived it, meant no more electricity, perhaps no more home and you are forced to start over as the rains fell or the night enfolded your neighborhood, or a hot, humid roasting day followed next day. Or, what might be worse, you, and your family in America, were one of those just last year 2025 who was once working for the U.S. federal civil service. If you are young and a probationary employee, you may have little to loose in terms of assets, although if you already have a family, it hurts more. What if you aren't so young?
Amidst a run of nasty weather, you could be, what The New York Times, numerically as of June 3, 2025, had called one of the 58,500 confirmed job cuts in the 50 United States, with another 149,000 more cuts on the wings. A time when your paycheck was not steady in either 2026, or late 2025.
On the brighter side, the Dept. of Labor stated 147,000 jobs were added in June of 2025, however, the Labor Dept released figures July 3 that at the federal level, another 7,000 were not working in federal civil service. Of course we can look at still another bright outlook—the April 2026 jobs report, 115,000 gains in employment (higher than the 62,000-65,000 predicted by our American economists) and for June 2026, employers added 57,000 payroll jobs. The national unemployment rate dropped to 4.2%. It you are retired, this thought cannot disappear: in the back of your mind your nest egg can be slammed by the forces of nature if you live in the MW, Texas, Florida, or the NW. Such is reality. Most new job gains, incidentally, came in the field of health, education and transportation—like messenger boys.
Arabia is more than deserts and roasting heat, timeframe extraordinary mid-October 2024. Thanks for sharing. Timeframe temperature highs for Aug. 1, 2026, Palmdale, California 106˚F. Cairo, Egypt 104˚F.
Longitudes, latitudes, we might all be in the same mix whether we want to believe it or not. Two tornadoes not one smacked St. Louis, Missouri, May 16, 2025. Emergency centers, a curfew were set up in light of restoring order, but when it hit, this bus was lifted up in the air, but as she said "God shielded us."
A tornado smacks Houston, July 16, 2026. Another tornado smacks San Antonio July 16, 2026. Life becomes interesting when you have to deal with the environment of wild extreminities at the same time a Mid-East war rumbles and huge expenditures of money are being diverted to the illegal alien problem and the Balkan region, in what may seem like a no-sign of ending scenarios.
Do you vividly remember 2020? How many of you recall when circa Memorial Day of 2021, the U.S. COVID-19 death toll was in the near range of 100,000 dead, and reported cases that were being infected were a horrible 1,635,000+ as millions celebrated Memorial Day by going to the parks or the beach?
It was no more 2020.
What has COVID to do with climate? nothing really in terms of climate, that is just the point but, in terms of daily chronology, they cannot be separate for they both were incurred at the same time, and people after they witnessed the COVID death numbers, less than 4 years later, no matter which state you were in, the ravages of climatology cannot be hidden. Then, if that were not enough, survivors of COVID, after living through COVID faced things like for example, hurricanes Helene or Milton or all sorts of naughty wild fires. [If that were not enough, something tells me the unprecedented budget cuts on NOAA and the National Weather Service in 2025 will degrade hurricane forecasting.]
May of 2024 actually turned up to be memorable for reasons of history—and I wrote this before we actually hit Memorial Day.
As tens of thousands headed to the beach or parks or to big national park forests, it was no easy task for many to return to some normalcy, especially if you were one of the countless fellow Americans who had experienced some of the nation's worst time periods, be it May or early autumn. Climate issues, mind you, come in a wide assortment of flavors.
Weeks before people went to enjoy themselves splashing in water parks and beaches, the following demonstrates the case how May of 2024 turned many people's lives upside-down.
Beneath the winds of time, early May of 2024 began with a scene of people getting caught in nightmarish, pre-hurricane season terror. Guess what? I see a repeat in 2026. I wonder how many American truck drivers pulling their rigs also got pummeled? and not just in May. Ever wonder about that? Driving large tractor-trailers or delivery trucks is one of the largest occupations in the U.S. There exists more than 3.5 million people who work as truck drivers, and some 350,000 register as independent. Over 869 tornadoes, as of May 22, 2024, had been reported; as of same date, "we have gone in May only 2 days without any tornado," source NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt, May 22, 2024. Heartless to say, twisters ravaging the countryside is typical of any May, but not the following. Opening scene number one: an exceptionally strong storm. It usually starts like this with TV coverage (6 mins). No single May has been this momentous since 2011.
By the time you read this, who knows how many weeks and months of suffering people felt. The deadly storm of Houston, however, was one for the ages—odd timing, as dozens of Houston District teachers were given the pink slip.
Initial stories of folks without power in Houston (1min41). What made this unique is that it went inside the metropolis of Houston, the fourth largest city in the U.S. (5 mins). The aftermath (rem there was also triple-digit heat) from the horrendous burst of 100 mph straight lined ferocious winds that people saw, which is just as Major Ed Dames had warned us about them coming, and to be prepared. Decades ago, it was rare indeed they enter the environs of any big city.
Once we passed autumn of 2024, it is easy to see the wind torments of 2024 came close to surpassing the history-making year of 2011 when America got hit by 1,714 tornadoes. Moreover, we can ask the question did the winds of 2024 top the king of kings (in terms of scary-wind disturbances) the year of 2004? There is more to this than isolated pockets of creepiness. (Note: everything on the top of this web page is all contemporary, most happened within the last five years.) Blame it on whatever you wish, the case is that such events are repeating more often. Editors note: 1796 tornadoes were the initial total across the U.S. in 2024, but newly revised stats show the severe weather season of 2024 changed. In 2024 it stands confirmed at 1,791 twisters, or in other words, the cascading winds that had hit our biosphere in 2004 really still stand at 1947—the record for twenty years, and still is the record. In a century of tornado history, what Major Ed Dames predicted about, before it happened, is still a remarkable story in our contemporary era because the wind record of 2004 still stands.
Total for 2024 is the Dec. fig 1,791. (see this link.)
When a flood catches you off-guard, that says something. If you live in Tampa Bay, you know what is an Aqua-fence. Getting washed-away is pervasive not theoretical anymore. The worst floods in the regions history hit mid-May of 2024. Oooo la la, this climate business that has also arisen is no mythology, some of the extremes whacked Paris, France in 2024 right after the Olympics (4mins 28 secs). If you saw these things coming down, you would panic, too. (Connect to your speaker = more dramatic.)
I wonder if they had their city streets parked with RVs and packed with the homeless? in the leading large French cities and in Paris, home to the Summer Olympics. I bet this acute homeless within LA does not exist in Paris. Watch out, it could turn up like a MacArthur Park. Then, people will squawk loud enough, could take years, took about 3 years at MacArthur Park, then the city did something. [Los Angeles began enforcing no overnight RV parking. That is a strategic novelty, but not for the rest of the City of Los Angeles; it is just for part of the westside, at the time of this writing. Some are, but most of the dire homeless in the big metropolis are not natives from Los Angeles. We shall see if our Mayor Karen Bass will have divine grace and be a hero to Los Angeles or be just another politician that comes and goes. She is after all, born in Los Angeles, like me, and I hope she pulls through. [Gee wiz, is it illegal to park an RV permanently on a city street when it is time to do a street cleaning on that side of the street?] During the 1984 Summer Olympics, most RV owners drove their RV to a RV Park. But, L.A. was not that trashy in 1984, folks. [Sacramento has an ordinance that RV vehicles are not allowed to park on the street in the same location for more than 72 hours.] Ah, Los Angeles why should you be like the State capital, Sacramento? Let little rodents infest a dilapidated RV, which according to the L.A. Homeless Services Authority, there were 14,000 beaten-up RVs in all of L.A. County (including the city) in 2023.
There is an acrimonious pulse of weather. IN AN EL NINO YEAR EXPECT SPRING FLOODING CAUSED BY THE Pineapple Express.
BUT, LET US JOT DOWN TO A PAST December, DECEMBER OF 2022. The first 2 Decembers of the new decade, if memory serves me right, seemed like rootin-tootin normal pulses of any December cold. You had a wintry cold with Christmas cheer, unless you were in Hawaii, which is discussed four paragraphs below. But, what developed by the end Dec. of 2022 was like none other in memory, for it surpassed the Blizzard of '77 and the other blizzard nightmare of Feb. 2011, specifically Chicago, although not exclusively, as mentioned in this author's ebook, Alert For The Times.
People sensed something was brewing as seen in this Dec. 23 report on CBS Mornings. There was even talk of no mass cancellations, but that flew out the window fast. First it was heard there were 1000, then 2,000 then 5000 air flight cancellations, until by Christmas Eve of 2022, at least 100 million people felt the seriousness. The storm was also felt by our neighbors to the north. Merry Christmas— all this was phenomenal and was not your normal winter storms like in the past, as seen in both the aforementioned ABC report and with at least 3,800 flights delayed and 173 cancelled that is not your usual winter footnote (eventually impacting over 140 million), see this NBC TODAY report.
In this horrific time, there were even culprits running around responsible for hineas acts of damaging the power grid. They should be made to clean the frozen streets with their bare hands and tongues, thinking it is funny messing around with people's electricity. if you ask me they should get a long prison sentence with their faces displayed everywhere on post office posters and on network TV. By Dec. 26, 46 had lost their lives MSNBC. There were elements of truly screwed up transportation, as seen in this CBS Miami report. I saw people gawking at snow falling in Miami, courtesy of the Guardian News. Although weather has varied for hundreds of years, Floridians won't forget that.
December is normally a very quiet month in terms of tornadoes, but not in 2021. Welcome to another most unusual era. ABC News tornado report. Tornado NBC report of December 11, 2021. (4 mins). The worst hit area was Kentucky. Inside Edition gave you the real news, or as they used to say gave you the dope; it got so crazy, they invented new terms like bombogenisis. You've heard of Hawaii the island paradise?
Well, as reported elsewhere, the wind gusts report for the month of Dec. 2021 were astronomical and rather historic with Hawaii experiencing a second snow storm in a few days (courtesy of NBC and EXTREME WEATHER & NATURAL DISASTERS). In summer of 2023, the world was drawn to Hawaii as a horrible thing happened on one of the islands of the Hawaiian chain when a hideous weather storm of a different nature hit Maui August of 2023 that caused a horrendous fire storm that was made worse by the winds created by the energies of Hurricane Dora, courtesy of SkyLive.
You've heard of Chicago the Windy City? Welcome to St Louis another Windy City, courtesy of Jimbobcaptian. Watch the trash can at Bush Stadium. Acrimonious weather is having its share of strange repeats in times when such events usually do not occur. The world continues its share of very strange windy weather events.
Brazil was hit hard by El Niño early May, 2024, worst flood in 80 years; affected regions by air. OLYMPIC ATHLETES caught behind a hard rock and preparing for Paris. To be a better human and inspire. After experiencing record hot temperatures, the state of Puebla, Mexico found itself not just in what you can call strange, it went beyond strange, being also hit May of 2024 with 9-inch hail, crazy floods, epic 120-mph winds and snow and ice, making streets like rivers.
Swirling rivers of melting conglomerations of ice and cold water smacks Poland June of 2024, after large-size hail ping-pongs your roof and head and alters normal lifestyles, simply insane; in one scene in another Youtube, those little punks broke a house window, caught on camera. AND, please don't get the funny idea that this happens every year and it is normal. Did I mention heat? To our neighbor in the north, Canada has had over 100 raging fires, alongside other places, and bad air quality due to those fires— and, summer had not even commenced. Ditto: Nepal and northern Japan. Blame it on whoever or whatever you want, I am an historian and lay it out for you. I remember about 20 years ago, my WW II father and I took a trip across Canada, from Calgary to Vancouver and met some of the most nicest people and saw some of the most beautiful forests, mountains and valleys. My heart goes out to Canadians as they were engulfed in smoke, in 2025, and are again engulfed in 2026--the nation that nine years ago passed Bill 89 and removed the rights of parent's right of caring for a child's "education and religious upbringing", and fully enacted as law in April 2018. It in essence removed any religious faith of parents approval and gave support to any child who wished a sex change without the parent's approval; in Ontario, it still gives power for Ontario courts to legally remove any child from the parent if a sex change conflicts with what the parent desires if it is shown a child is at risk of neglect, or abuse (physical/emotional) or severe harm. 2023s flames of Greece and other European destinations, including the visit by then Pope Francis in August to Portugal, are mentioned in my book. Did you know two years ago, several European paved streets were recorded at 140˚F? Courtesy of Firstpost, DW News, NBC News, New Newspaper Today and WION.
This I got wind of, no pun intended, Canadian information base, hail in July; or British Columbia; Calgary, Canada July of 2024. Dreadful. The August 2024 hailstorm in Calgary became the second-costliest insured event in Canada’s history. The August component. Let us not forget the air qualities that affected the United States in 2026. I think to use the words of a cleric in my book is appropriate. He believes God can manifest His ways by using weather as manifestations of punishment. It is up to you to believe it or not. If enough people respond positive, things may end up positive. Keep the Word of God present. When the world trembles, only those who are firm in Christ will resist. For Catholics, the Holy Rosary is their shield. Woe to those who do not have the lamp and light of Faith. Do not be deceived by those who deny the gravity of these valued times. What recently happened in Hawaii, far away from Canada, is found at this link.
As we pulse through each season, one form of wild extremities can be extreme cold or, can be extreme heat waves, which were evident in 2003 in Europe, when the most affected were elderly, as mentioned in my ebook. Over 52,000 people died in Europe because of that unusual Summer heatwave and fires. Also, the El Niño years of 1997-1998 are chronologically recorded in meticulous order in the new ebook, a reign of strangeness that is up to you to believe in what you want to. The above El Niño and the 2003 events as the level of volatile events in 2025-26, I believe are precursors.



The Day After Tomorrow and the Berezovha mammoth
An aspect of a Hollywood movie called The Day After Tomorrow is connected to flash freezing. It has happened before.
In the latitudes of Siberia, about 49,000 years ago, ±3,500 years, a huge freeze descended over the northern Siberian frontier in summer.
A most famous surviving mammoth elephant, the Berezovha mammoth, was found in 1900 virtually intact seventy miles north of the Arctic Circle, 67deg 32'N near the Berezovha River.
It is on display in the Zoological Institute Museum in Leningrad.
Nine types of grasses were found inside his body intact, including buttercups. What they found led scientists to concur it happened not in the dead of winter, but spring or early summer.
The lack of decomposition mystifies scientists because it happened during warm weather, unless, flash-freezing occurred.
Neither ice water or mud caused the animal’s demise because, as one scientist put it, in a 1929 American Society Transactions report, from I.P. Tolmachoff, when an animal dies through suffocation, its genital organ becomes erect. This colossal beast did not die a slow death as caused by mudslides.
Sunshine failed to melt the extinct mammoth for thousands of years because the Sun failed to penetrate that region of earth after the turbulent thick-enough freeze descended—brought by some cold front with winds strong enough to probably build in the excess of 200 m.p.h. There was not even enough time for gases to buildup in that extinct elephant’s body. Why are hardcore scientists and meteorologists telling us, in the overall scheme of things, that certain portions of the poles continue to shrink, the winters, summers, and especially springs are appearing more and more off kilter? ?
An aspect of our strange times in regards to weather and climate, could be the story of the Aurorae. An aurora is normally found at the extreme north or south of our globe. As indicated on the Aurora diagram, in normal times the green band, when viewing the northern hemisphere, is way up north in the northern hemisphere part of the world. When the green band extends way south to say So. California, then that is very unusual. Such was the case last October of 2024.

Report on Secret Pentagon programs
So as people argue the merits and truth of the term global warming, our weather has indeed become challenging.
The climate has the potential to become unstable. Some of you are acquainted with a secret $100,000 Pentagon report finalized in October of 2003, and some of you are not. This strange 22-page report begins with: “the purpose of this report is to imagine the unthinkable.” Whether you like it or not, whether you have a seared conscience to global warming or not, the urgent rise of global temperatures is not make-believe. Whether you think we are in a cycle or not—who is to blame for the changing climate, learn about the facts in Alert: For The Times. The weather is driven by ocean currents, atmosphere and their agents of change such as surprising howling winds July 19th. People forget, the last time we underwent phenomenal climate change happened at the last ice age. But, could it be possible today? The two most prominent meteorologists and climatologists in the Western world bounced around a rare pronouncement in December of 1999: we must deal with climate change of the entire world. In 2002, the National Academics of Sciences issued a special report Abrupt Climate Change’s Inevitable Surprises. Many items you will not want to believe, but they are all documented. They are very important because it brings historical events more clearly into our world’s timeframe. Fireballs in the sky, things of outer space origins, bolides, 2026 is starting out in a very unusual way.. What he reports is more than what the average things falling out of the sky has been reported. Coincidence to what Fr. Michele Rodrigue had forewarned? Read Alert For The Times, Book of Secrets. Please read some of the comments on the video. A 7-ton meteor as reported on ABC. Holy Toledo it is no jive. How many of you remember this?

Part of the answer comes from POES and DMSP. Since the 1960s, the United States has operated two separate operational polar-orbiting weather satellite systems, POES, and DMSP. These systems are known as the Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellites (POES), managed by NOAA’s National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS), and the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP), managed by the Department of Defense (DOD). These satellites obtain environmental data.
Unlike geostationary satellites which maintain a fixed position above the earth, polar-orbiting satellites constantly circle the globe in an almost north-south orbit, providing global coverage of conditions that affect our weather and climate. Each satellite makes about 14 orbits a day. As the earth rotates beneath it, each satellite views the entire earth’s surface twice a day. Today, there are two operational POES satellites and two operational DMSP satellites that are positioned so that they can observe the earth in early morning, mid-morning, and early afternoon polar orbits. Together, they ensure that for any region of the earth, the data provided to users are generally no more than 6 hours old. For DOD centers, field terminals are within a direct line of sight of the satellites and can receive live data directly from the polar-orbiting satellites.
There exist an estimated 150 such field terminals operated by the U.S. government, many by DOD.
Field terminals can be taken into areas with little or no data communications infrastructure— such as on a battlefield or ship—and enable a recipient priceless weather data directly from the polar-orbiting satellites. These terminals have their own software and processing capability to decode and display a subset of the satellite data to the user. Data collected overall from both POES and DMSP also provides resources for monitoring sea ice extent and concentration. As a footnote, DMSP built it’s last operating satellite in the 1990s, built by Lockheed Martin, was launched in April 2014 but lost communication with ground control on Feb. 11, 2016 and since has never regained on-line status. The F19 satellite and those models that came before it, goes back to 1962, have been primary resources for monitoring sea ice extent. Since 1978 with the installation of microwave technology, weather data has been enriched to collect cloud coverage, temperature, humidity, and ozone distribution; to land surface products showing snow cover, vegetation, and land use; to ocean products depicting sea surface temperatures, sea ice and ocean wave height, and last but not least, outer space environment. 3 Sample shots. The first source is from NOAA a snapshot of Hurricane Floyd 1999; next DOD and the western Atlantic Ocean; last is from NOAA and the Mt Etna, Sicily volcano plumes. Here are some very wild news.



The replacement known as DMSP F-20 was slated to be launched in 2018; in fact, it was moved up from 2020 to replace a key European satellite for retirement in 2017 that covered the Middle East area. Congress, struggling for funding, decided to kill everything in 2016, period. For the moment the older DMSP F-17 is handling the sending of data…until it dies. In Feb of 2015, an even older F14 exploded in space. So far, there are still 5 DMSP satellites in service. There is an emerging Earth pattern that the global average temperature of Earth has gone up .9°F in the last 100 years. Nine of the ten warmest years on record happened after 1995. Whether carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere is the reason for the heat to go up is not for me to say here, however the carbon dioxide content has increased significantly since 1970.
[Carbon dioxide concentrations are usually expressed as parts per million (ppm) by volume of atmospheric carbon dioxide. During the time of Beethoven it was about 275 ppm. In 1880 it was 290 ppm. In 1958: 315 ppm. In 1997: 355 ppm. In 2011, it reached 391 ppm. On December 23, 2021, it reached 419.43 ppm. A peak was registered in May of 2022 at 421 ppm. Do you think it will next go down? I wish. When the concentration of carbon dioxide increases, the absorption by carbon dioxide becomes greater and the globe becomes warmer. Of all the levels of carbon dioxide indexed, the current levels of carbon dioxide are higher than at any time for the past 450,000 years. One has to go back even farther in time—way beyond 800,000 years ago—to find carbon dioxide levels sustained at 400+ppm levels. According to all sides, it is not disputed that carbon dioxide levels are a third higher than the pre-industrial era. But, thus far, no scientist or person of higher learning has come up with an idea to reverse this steady rise of carbon dioxide levels while at the same time lots of people are freezing their butts off.]
Various timeframes involving climate are important. A good 21 years ago, in 2004, the United States was hit by many vicious tornadoes, including one which was declared a large funnel in El Paso, Texas, on May 27; it was a bona fide weather report not from average citizens. That was the year of winds, too, as mentioned in Alert: For The Times. Ironically, the week of March 22, 2010, El Paso was once more pummeled by ferocious winds to the tune of 80 mph. And, on May 10, 2013 a tornado, or a dust storm that looks like a tornado or a horny dust devil with water sprinkles--call it what you will. Granted, tornadoes are rare in the Southwest, but just like this video shows, our veranda of grid systems that should protect us is not quite different than say 20 or 30 years ago.
You may find it hard to believe we connect TRV (Technical Remote Viewing) as an aid in deciphering the changing climate.
Technical Remote Viewing reveals things about the weather that will send chills up your spine, and which was maneuvered out of the hidden pages of military history—in the 1990s—because of one of its training officers, a Major Edward Dames. - for example in rip roaring Chicago or the unusual wail of sirens in 2021, a call to danger. Maj. Dames was the one who said watch out for 2004, because it will be known as the year of winds and he said it mainly before it all really began to pan out. Later as you hear of the term micro-bursts, that is a term warned about from Maj. Dames before it became known to the general public.
Climate change does not need hundreds or thousands of years to occur.
Why should you be concerned about disappearing ice in Tibet or the fact that in 26 countries, we have seen the worst flooding in the past 500 years? Do you remember seeing those wild Phoenix dust storms, or crazy floods in Czechoslovakia and Germany in 2002? Were the Blizzards of 2003 or 2011 a figment of your imagination? How about the most current blizzard storms in Dec. of 2022? Do you also remember August of 2007 when rare tornado-like winds hit the metropolis of Chicago ? Is there any message behind the statement: since Teddy Roosevelt’s time, it is a little known fact that the snow and ice of Mt Kilimanjaro has shrunk by 82%, and, that in its current melting, the snow and ice is disappearing 1.3 feet PER DAY. But, it is still there.
Mt Kilimanjaro El Nino
Another example: a region of Canada’s Nunavat territory, just like Mt Kilimanjaro, is melting in disconcerting large pieces. From a report in the prestigious Geophysical Research Letters, scientists from the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, and from the University in Quebec City, Canada, have pointed out that after nearly 100 years of melting, the largest ice shelf in the Arctic—the Ward Hunt Ice Shelf on Ellesmere Island—has broken off. One hundred years ago, the northern border of Ellesmere I. was a solid ice shelf. Believe it or not, 90% of that ice is gone! The fresh water is pouring through the Disraeli Fjord.
There is slowly evolving a mark that is rising into human psyche consciousness. The mark is the tension that rises when man and woman, are pitted face to face with the adversities of weather. Since time immemorial it has occurred before, so what’s the big deal?
The answer lies in the fact that the tension is growing at an alarming rate, due to weather events repeating too quickly, and is more far-reaching than previously thought, which leaves us concerned. Like Baskin-Robbins, the tension comes in many flavors.
Nothing shows the cause for concern better than when the television news networks in America pick it up as a “news headline.” Twenty Springs ago, specifically May of 2003, the tension went tilt in middle America. Tornadoes went berserk. Some 60 tornadoes were spawned out of 1 or 2 violent storms. 60 mind you. That’s SIXTY.
Addendum: Tempests of fire, once quite rare, are looming larger and larger. Things are upside down. Native Americans of North America are not to be forgotten. Memories of a Memorial Day, 2024: Happened Memorial Day that killed. A mean tornado hit a Shell gas station in Valley View, Texas and description, courtesy of CBS Texas. Camera captured terrified residents hiding out in the gas station,courtesy of WFAA. Did May of 2024 become a precursor to another year of winds, ala 2004 or 2011? Time will tell, but in terms of travel, millions of Americans travelled Memorial Day weekend, the month of May that broke TSA records, while national credit card debt rose to a high of $1.11 trillion, courtesy of ABC News. Make sure you go all the way to the ending of the recording, and listen to the valedictorian story and how he gave his powerful speech after his father passes away.
Other events of “different flavors” are also mentioned in the new book that point to the far-reaching rate. While the average person is probably not in tune, unfortunately, however, in the disciplines of science, they are getting the picture. Winds in the neighborhood of 90-110 miles an hour in big cities were once quite rare.
Robert Valentine's book Alert For The Times, Book of Secrets is not a whimsy spur of the moment thing. In time, the picture becomes clearer. The author has labored on it since 1996, and the numerous data points provided are suitable for any age. Mountain House products are similar to what the U.S. Marines and other military use, ie. MREs—MREs are useful after dinner as they stay warm for a while. Flameless heating packs may turn out to be a Godsend, you may never know. If you are not using a desktop, google Mountain House.
