PEACE PLAN and HARVEY HELL

Peace Plan:

Algemeiner is reporting that Kushner Asks Abbas to Hold off on Anti-Israel Diplomatic Initiatives to Give Trump Administration Time to Formulate Peace Plan

Kushner and his team met with Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday. On Thursday, Harvey exploded from a tropical storm into a Category 4 hurricane.

Watch hurricane Harvey explode from a tropical depression to a Cat 4 hurricane

The Weather Channel has compared the rainfall from Harvey to the historic rainfall from Tropical Storm Allison. I wrote a post about Allison in June of 2011.

ALLISON AND TENET

Harvey Hell:

It just seems like Katrina all over again. A week ago today Americans everywhere were watching an amazing eclipse go across the United States. Exactly one week later, thousands of people are trying to escape the worst flooding event to ever hit Houston, and it's ongoing because of the first Category 4 hurricane to hit Texas since 1961. And there's a tropical system off Charleston, where the eclipse left the U.S. For those of us who remember watching Katrina on TV, the scenes coming out of Houston are eerily similar.

HURRICANE HARVEY UPDATE

By now I am sure all of you know that Hurricane Harvey became a Category 4 hurricane just before coming ashore last night. Apparently it is the strongest to hit the Texas coastline since Hurricane Carla in 1961. I listened to the Weather Channel late into the night last night, and they kept mentioning Victoria, Texas. Harvey seemed to made a beeline for it. I haven't had much time to look for articles today, so I don't have links to any stories about Victoria, but I found it interesting that another Victoria was in the news a day or so ago as Victoria Coates joined Jared Kushner's team this week.

I also found one article on the peace process that I thought is interesting.

Mort Klein – The Impossible Deal: Establishing a Peaceful Palestinian Arab State That Accepts the Jewish State

I've not seen any news yet as to when Kushner's team will be returning from the Middle East.

Added this report from Victoria, Texas, around 7:30 p.m.

All eyes are on Hurricane Harvey as he bears down on Texas' coastline.

Zerohedge: Harvey To Make Landfall As Cat 3 Hurricane, Bring 40 Inches Of Rain: Latest Updates

Here is the screenshot from Breitbart:

I've been watching the Weather Channel since yesterday afternoon, and a couple of reporters, including Jim Cantore, have noted that Harvey reminds them of Katrina. Do you remember when Katrina formed? It was August 23, 2005, and it began as a tropical wave over the Bahamas. President George W. Bush had pressured Ariel Sharon to pull Israelis (even from their graves!) out of Gush Katif. That withdrawal had taken 2 weeks, and we saw images on TV of Israeli soldiers pulling people from their homes. On the last day of the pullout Katrina formed.

Hurricane Katrina

Here is some news that slipped in yesterday. Victoria Coates, a Republican GOP Foreign Policy advisor was asked to join Kushner and Greenblatt's team. Coates has been an advisor to Ted Cruz (in his failed 2016 presidential bid), and to Rick Perry (in his failed 2012 presidential bid), and as advisor to Donald Rumsfeld on a book he wrote in 2011. Rumsfeld served as George W. Bush's Secretary of Defense. Cruz, Perry, and Bush are all from Texas. Greenblatt is from Pennsylvania.

PEACE PROCESS and HURRICANE HARVEY; MORE GREAT QUESTIONS and MORE JASON A

Regular readers of this blog are not surprised at the first news up on the blog this morning.

Jared Kushner Arrives in Israel to Attempt Palestinian Statehood Talks

Top headline at Drudge:

Yes, perhaps our first hurricane to hit Texas in years, Hurricane Harvey:

It ramped up yesterday.

Harvey regenerates, hurricane and storm surge watches issued for Texas coast

And, of course, gas prices always go up when the supply chain is threatened.

Hurricane Harvey Set To Wreak Havoc On Texas Crude Production And Refining Capacity

Severe weather and pushing Palestinian statehood have long gone hand-in-hand. But so has turmoil in the economy.  Since I am adding the second half of all the 'GREAT QUESTIONS' I had bookmarked, Zerohedge has a great question about the economy this morning.

Did the economy just stumble off a cliff?

As Kushner is in Israel, Yellen is in Jackson Hole, there's a great question about that, too.

THE ECLIPSE AND KUSHNER

Politico reports:

While everyone was busy gazing into the solar eclipse on Monday, White House adviser Jared Kushner quietly snuck away to the Middle East for a trip that will take him to the Persian Gulf and Israel.

Kushner in Middle East for peace talks

I was really hoping that Kushner would not be leaving for Israel on the day of the eclipse.

But he did. Kushner's team will be visiting several Mideast countries. He will be in Israel on Wednesday.

The Seven Salems of the Eclipse - Coincidence?

Arab leaders, ahead of Kushner's visit, emphasize ‘no peace’ without Palestinian State and '67 borders, and 'no peace' without East Jerusalem

On the same day as the eclipse:

USS John S. McCain damaged in a collision on the same day as the solar eclipse

President Trump gives first 'Commander-in-Chief' speech to nation, explains ramp-up against Taliban in Afghanistan

And first thing this morning, our US Treasury announced sanctions against several Chinese and Russian companies and individuals over North Korea's WMD program.

Furious China responds to latest US sanctions, demand the US immediately correct the 'the mistake,' or face repercussions

Watching and praying for the peace of Jerusalem.

ECLIPSE 2017

Today's post is simple. Here are various maps of the eclipse's path.

Eclipse 2017 maps

ECLIPSE 2017 AND EARTHQUAKES

Today's post is a compilation of views and opinions about the upcoming solar eclipse on Monday, Aug 21.

These links offer some interesting insights into different aspects of Monday's eclipse, and I have found some of the information quite fascinating. I personally believe that solar eclipses are warnings to Gentiles, and I think America should take notice because this eclipse will apparently only affect America.

Several of those who are watching this eclipse have noted that the eclipse will begin on the west coast of America at, of all places, the Cascadia faultline. Then it will travel across America crossing Yellowstone and the New Madrid Seismic Zone. This should make anyone's eyebrows pop up.

Then the eclipse will slide off the US continent at Charleston. Here is what I've not seen anyone mention (if someone has, I haven't seen it):

Charleston is ALSO the site of a historic earthquake -- the great earthquake of August 1886.

So the eclipse begins at a the site of historic west coast earthquakes, the Cascadia faultline, crosses a site of ancient historic earthquakes and major volcanic eruption, Yellowstone, then crosses the site of 3 of the strongest known US earthquakes that were so powerful that they disrupted the flow of the Mississippi River, the New Madrid Seismic Zone, then exits the US at the site of the strongest known east coast historic earthquake, the Charleston quake of August 1886.

What are the odds that a line would connect all four historic sites, on one day no less, and from a celestial event above?

Charleston earthquake of 1886:

Wikipedia notes that the earthquake occurred the night of August 31, 1886, and was believed to have been as strong as 7.3 magnitude. The earthquake was so powerful that it was felt as far north as Boston, and as far northwest as Chicago and Milwaukee. Think about that. That is a LONG way away. People outside of the immediate area believed Florida had broken off the continent and sunk into the ocean because no communication was coming out of the area.

1886 Charleston earthquake

I am including this next YouTube because it is an actual eyewitness account of a man, Noah W. Cooper, who went thru the 1886 earthquake. This first 5 minutes is an account of how Cooper's account came to be recorded, and there are a couple of 'rough' parts in the audio, but I found it very interesting to hear this man speak of going thru the earthquake as a young man. Cooper also speaks of how people were calling out to God during and after the earthquake.

PEACE PROCESS, AGAIN

The Times of Israel is reporting that Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Sunday that he will be welcoming Jared Kushner and his team to Jerusalem soon for further peace talks.

PM welcomes Trump envoys’ visit to revive Mideast peace talks

Excerpt:

"He (Trump) believes that the restoration of calm and the stabilized situation in Jerusalem after the recent crisis on the Temple Mount/Haram al Sharif has created an opportunity to continue discussions and the pursuit of peace that began early in his administration," the official told the Times of Israel.

We have seen this before as regular readers of this blog know. It seems that events seem to occur in tandem when the US attempts to push Israel and the Palestinians into peace talks. It is interesting to note that The Times of Israel is noting that President Trump apparently believes that now might be the time to push the talks since things have calmed down in Jerusalem after the 'recent crisis.'

Which crisis?

Clashes.

And what did we have over the weekend here in America?

Clashes.

Basically, white nationalists (mostly neo-Nazis and KKK) and black protestors (mostly Black Lives Matter and Antifa) clashed over the removal of a Confederate war statute. BLM wants pretty much all symbols of the Confederacy gone because they find that period of American history offensive. White nationalists want the symbols to stay because, as offensive as they are, they are still part of American history.

Here we are, 152 years after the Civil War ended, and we are still fighting.

Here is the screenshot from Drudge this morning:

Rioting calming down in Israel, heating up here in America.

And that's not all that's heating up.

China:

Trump Warns Xi: Trade War With China Begins Monday

Excerpt:

The trade investigation will immediately strain relations between the U.S. and China as the two countries wrestle with the unpredictable situation over North Korea. Should Trump follow through, the move will lay the groundwork for Trump to impose tariffs against Chinese imports, which will mark a significant escalation in his efforts to reshape the trade relationship between the world's two largest economies. In other words, even if there is now conventional war announced with either North Korea or Venezuela, Trump's next step is to launch a trade war against China.

Volcanoes:

And there's this . . .

Today, there is the first meeting of scientists since 1989, to discuss what is going on with a series of volcanoes in California. Eight need to be monitored.

USGS Warns California Needs Close Monitoring Of 8 Active Volcanoes

Potential hurricane:

Oh yeah, a tropical storm and a tropical wave formed in the Atlantic on Sunday. Yes, the same day Kushner's visit was announced.

Severe weather and hurricanes forming have certainly occurred in the past when the President of the United States has involved himself with Israel and the peace process. Hurricane Katrina is a prime example, and I've written about Katrina several times. Katrina formed in August 2005, and followed when George W. Bush pushed the Israelis to give up Gush Katif to the Palestinians.

HURRICANE KATRINA POSTS

BPEarthwatch has a YouTube on this current storm that formed on Sunday.

Superstorm could be forming of unprecedented size

Eclipse:

The exact date of Kushner's visit to Israel has not been announced. JPost is saying it will be before the end of the month. Let's just hope it's not next Monday, when the eclipse will be occurring.

BTW, Friday's post will be devoted to numerous links about the eclipse and earthquakes. Tune in.
