“the breakdown of the Soviet Union”

The Soviet Union fell because Ronald Reagan and others pushed. He truthfully called it “the evil empire.” Perhaps those words were the “Black Swan.” Who expected an American President to have moral clarity and to tell the truth? Our press was shocked. Ted Kennedy openly met with the Soviet ambassador to stop Reagan.

Members of the Soviet military said that that 72 hours after the balloon went up, Soviet Tanks would occupy Paris. The Army introduced a slew of new weapon systems in response and the Air Force introduced the A-10. Tactical nuclear missiles, cruise missiles helped round out the response. There were significant weapon system advances in the Air Force and Navy, and there was Star Wars. We allowed Soviet spies to steal US technology that was intentionally defective.

Madame Olga reads her tea leaves and predicts Black Swan Event in 2024.

Just One? I foresee three or four. I know what a white swan is—a Russian Bomber—But I have never heard of a “Black Swan” A B-1 painted to resemble a Russian jet nuking Mira Lago? That would get rid of Trump, start WW III and re-elect Biden. Such a thing could save Ukraine and Israel as well.

An unexpected event? Well....of course we could see the Election 2024 variant of the Wuhan Flu. Or we could hear an announcement that Social Security will be broke by 2025.Or a massive explosion and fire in Jerusalem has killed 100,000 and completely destroyed the city.

By a show of hands, who believes that the deepstate and the CCP are going to tolerate a fair election in November?

Other than Bill Clinton Sarah Palin had the finest political instincts of any public figure. Her effort during ‘08 where she knew that Mi. Pa. Wi. were up for grabs was prescient. She also had several meetings with Donald Trump before he came down the escalator, so she doubtless shared her instinctual understandings with him.

They don’t even mention that China has purchased a good chunk of the American political establishment.

What about China, maybe even Israel, or some loose cannon in the U.S.

I’m less worried about what Russia, China, Iran, and NK might do that what domestic governmental agencies have planned for us.

There are plenty of potential terrorists streaming over our southern border everyday, so it is quite plausible that there will be an attack(s) of some sort. I also wouldn't rule out China invading the country, but that might be a few years down the road.

CBS talking head floats the possibility of a 'black swan event' in 2024

Who authors all of this stuff, Moriatry? People could channel Captain Stubing, but oh no.

Forty years in wilderness, because 10 out of 12 spies agreed.

One day after Christmas, and it's back to the negative waves. Something hopeful for a change might go over like a lead balloon. 😬

The appearance of a swan, reminds me,

Will Mashiach Come This Year?

Rabbi Efraim Palvanov

Biblical texts speak of a new star appearing in the night sky to herald the coming of the Messiah. Scientists predict that such a “star” may indeed appear later this year – could it be the long-awaited “Star of Jacob”? And how does this tie in with other ancient prophecies about the End of Days, and major events happening around the globe today?

https://shiratdevorah.blogspot.com/2023/12/will-moshiach-come-this-year.html

https://www.mayimachronim.com/will-mashiach-come-this-year/ (December 21, 2023)

Num 24.17. I shall see him, but not now; I shall behold him, but not near; there shall come a star out of Jacob, and a scepter shall rise out of Israel, and shall strike the corners of Moab, and destroy all the sons of Seth:

You ever thought to check there? In Jacob [יעקב]? For a star coming out of him? Well, you just never know...

יוד עין קוף בית

יוד עין קוף בית

🤔

Nice touch with the 19th letter [קוף] inside (being a monkey wrench).

Perhaps there are others, but the brightest star of the swan, Deneb (דנב "tail") jumped right out...

Deneb (/ˈdɛnɛb/) is a first-magnitude star in the constellation of Cygnus. Deneb is one of the vertices of the asterism known as the Summer Triangle and the "head" of the Northern Cross. It is the brightest star in Cygnus and the 19th brightest star in the night sky, with an average apparent magnitude of +1.25.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deneb

Cygnus is a northern constellation on the plane of the Milky Way, deriving its name from the Latinized Greek word for swan.[1] Cygnus is one of the most recognizable constellations of the northern summer and autumn, and it features a prominent asterism known as the Northern Cross..

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cygnus_(constellation)

Heads or tails? Is this where people shrug and say, "It's all Greek to me"?

The interesting analog in the long chain of traditions (regardless of who believes what) is that at the very top of the cross is "INRI"

The initialism INRI represents the Latin inscription IESVS NAZARENVS REX IVDÆORVM (Iesus Nazarenus, Rex Iudaeorum), which in English translates to "Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews" (John 19:19).[16] John 19:20 states that this was written in three languages -- Hebrew,[a] Latin and Greek -- and was put on the cross of Jesus.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus,_King_of_the_Jews#INRI_and_%CE%99%CE%9D%CE%92%CE%99

That's the well-known representaion, anyway. The link has a chart with the different descriptions for what was written on the sign.

Wiki's Hebrew page is entitled in the Latin: INRI.

Deneb represents the magpie bridge in the story of the reunion of the weaver girl (Vega) and the cowherd (Altair).

All are on the List of stars for navigation,

so it looks like Captian Stubing wins out in the end.

Feel the love.

Biblical texts speak of a new star appearing in the night sky to herald the coming of the Messiah.

Well there's that hovering lil gal on Mars -- Ingenuity, "This little light of mine." ("MRS HELICOPTER")

NASA still hasn't announced the 70th flight. What's up with that. A day off to recover from Christmas? FR is light years ahead.

All in its time...

1 Jacob called for his sons and said, "Gather and I will tell you what will happen to you at the end of days.
2 Gather and listen, sons of Jacob, and listen to Israel, your father.

Right on topic. I love the wording here, because of all the opinions for why Jacob 'didn't reveal' the ketz.

Yet, he instructed everyone to gather together, saying it in two different ways, and still nobody listens.

And look what happened with that sign at the top of the cross... four different ways of describing the same message. 🧐

This is going to be epic.

The moderator for the CBS panel, Margaret Brennan, wrapped up the roundtable conjectures by stating, "Anyone who tells you what is going to happen with this election and how it's going to play out over the next year is selling you something because there are just so many different variables that all of us are tracking, and all of us are weighing. … But it's also why none of us will sleep very much in the next few months."

I interpret a “Black Swan Event” to mean when Michelle Obama drops into the 2024 Democrat Convention and is drafted to be the nominee.
