Back in November of 2014, the US State Department acknowledged that the crew of the destroyer USS Donald Cook had been 'gravely demoralized' back in April of 2014 after their ship was flown over in the Black Sea by a Russian Sukhoi-24 (SU-24), a fighter jet carrying only electronic warfare equipment, no bombs nor missiles.
According to the story, as the Russian jet approached the destroyer, its electronic warfare device (called a Khibiny) disabled all radars, control circuits, systems, information transmissions and weapons systems as if it were simply but completely shutting down the Donald Cook via a TV's remote control unit.
The SU-24 then proceeded to launch a simulated missile attack against the 'literally deaf, blind and defenseless' Donald Cook, repeating the same manuevers 12 times before flying away.
Why are we bringing up what happened back in April of 2014 in April of 2016, now two years later? As we learn in this story from CBSNews, the USS Donald Cook has been buzzed by Russian jets once again as seen in the pictures within this story and videos at the bottom of this page, and it happened on nearly the same day as back in 2014.
Encountering what the US Navy has termed 'aggressive Russian aircraft in the Baltic Sea' which once again conducted 'simulated attacks' against our ship we have to ask, what message Russia is sending to our military leaders and why is the USS Donald Cook is once again being harrassed by the Russians? Was this a reminder about what happened in 2014? Is this preparation for war? Were electronic weapons used against the USS Donald Cook once again? This ship is no mere slouch.:
The USS Donald Cook(DDG-75) is a 4th generation guided missile destroyer whose key weapons areTomahawk cruise missiles with a range of up to 2,500 kilometers, and capable of carrying nuclear explosives. This ship carries 56 Tomahawk missiles in standard mode, and 96 missiles in attack mode.
The US destroyer is equipped with the most recent Aegis Combat System. It is an integrated naval weapons systems which can link together the missile defense systems of all vessels embedded within the same network, so as to ensure the detection, tracking and destruction of hundreds of targets at the same time. In addition, the USS Donald Cook is equipped with 4 large radars, whose power is comparable to that of several stations. For protection, it carries more than fifty anti-aircraft missiles of various types.
As our videographer tells us in the 1st video below, the US military has been absolutely decimated under the presidency of Barack Obama and as we can see within the videos, Russia has absolutely no fear of our warship. Meanwhile, Russia continues to make air incursions over America and get close to American shores in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans regularly.
A United States Navy destroyer operating in international waters in the Baltic Sea experienced several close interactions by Russian aircraft April 11 and 12.
On April 11, Donald Cook was conducting deck landing drills with an allied military helicopter when two Russian SU-24 jets made numerous close-range and low altitude passes at approximately 3 p.m. local. One of the passes, which occurred while the allied helicopter was refueling on the deck of Donald Cook, was deemed unsafe by the ship's commanding officer. As a safety precaution, flight operations were suspended until the SU-24s departed the area.
On April 12, while Donald Cook was operating in international waters in the Baltic Sea, a Russian KA-27 Helix helicopter conducted circles at low altitude around the ship, seven in total, at approximately 5 p.m. local. The helicopter passes were also deemed unsafe and unprofessional by the ship's commanding officer. About 40 minutes following the interaction with the Russian helicopter, two Russian SU-24 jets made numerous close-range and low altitude passes, 11 in total. The Russian aircraft flew in a simulated attack profile and failed to respond to repeated safety advisories in both English and Russian. USS Donald Cook's commanding officer deemed several of these maneuvers as unsafe and unprofessional.
Are these actions a message to America from Russia as the title of the 2nd video suggests? That video shows 4 different flyovers and buzzings by Russia on the US ship combined into one video. Is America being set up for a massive fall with a military absolutely crippled under the presidency of Barack Obama as suggested in the 1st video?
We are certainly watching an interesting 'game' of cat and mouse being played out between the two superpowers. We can only pray that Russia and America think about what the possible outcome of a nuclear war between the two of them might mean to the rest of humanity.

Over the past week, our planet has been hit by large earthquake after large earthquake, and according to Volcano Discovery there are 38 volcanoes around the world that are erupting right now. We have seen a dramatic spike in global seismic activity that is unlike anything that we have seen in ages, and that is why what is going on at Yellowstone is so incredibly alarming.
Geologists tell us that a full-blown eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano would have up to 2,000 times the power of the Mount St. Helens volcanic eruption of 1980, and approximately two-thirds of the country would immediately become uninhabitable. As you will see below, there are signs that something big is getting ready to happen at Yellowstone, and if it does erupt all of our lives will be permanently changed forever.
I want to share with you some footage from Yellowstone that was recorded on Thursday night. In this video, it appears to be as bright as day even though it is the middle of the night, you can see a whole host of geysers steaming violently, and Old Faithful just keeps going off over and over…
There are places s(t)eaming I have never seen steam before….and also note that the bright ground is back. There are no shadows, so it is not from above! As you know the cameras were froze up last night, so we could not see what was going ….or so we thought LOL…I found a way. Somehow (don’t ask me how), the Geyser Observation Study site was able to capture the ENTIRE night with NO freeze ups and cutting in and out….how is THAT? Anyway, I got it and slowed it down so you can see better. Old Faithful had weird seismos last night, and was going off constantly.
But it wasn’t just that one night. The weird activity at Yellowstone has continued, and you can watch even more recent footage that Kat Martin has posted right here and right here.
So what does this mean?
I don’t know, but watching that footage definitely got my attention.
And it is interesting to note that just a few weeks ago the Shoshone River changed color and started boiling without any warning whatsoever…
The Shoshone River, near Yellowstone National Park, suddenly and without warning started boiling, changed color and began to emit a sulfuric odor on March 25. Nearby witnesses wondered if they were “all going to die.” The current consensus among geologists and other experts is that a portion of the Shoshone River began to boil, located near Cody, Wyoming, and a new Yellowstone vent has opened up.
As Mysterious Universe reports, the boiling river near Yellowstone runs just east of Yellowstone National Park. It is close enough to the park and super volcano to be a “canary in a coal mine” as it relates to unusual geothermic events. The event was initially recorded by Dewey Vanderhoff, a photographer who spotted the Shoshone River near Yellowstone boiling and noted other bizarre features in the river.
When a river located above a supervolcano that could wipe out most of the country starts boiling, you would think that would make headline news all over the nation.
But it didn’t.
It would be exceedingly difficult to overstate the potential danger that Yellowstone poses to the United States. Other than an extremely large asteroid or meteor, it is hard to imagine any natural disaster that would pose a greater threat. The following comes from an excellent article by Steve Elwart…
The Yellowstone Caldera, or cauldron, sits on top of North America’s largest volcanic field. Four hundred miles under the Earth’s surface is a magma ‘hotspot’ that reaches up to just 30 miles below ground level before spreading out over an area of 300 miles across three states.
Over all this sits the volcano.
While most scientists believe the probability of a major eruption is very small, there are signs that have some analysts worried, and most agree the volcano holds catastrophic potential. It could blast 240 cubic miles of ash, rocks and lava into the atmosphere, rendering about two-thirds of the nation immediately uninhabitable, according to some estimates, and plunge the world into a “nuclear winter.”
Wowza Scott, enough wild stories on this post! ;)
ReplyDeleteWe have been watching forever. And have alternated between excitement and dread. (Sad for the lost, unable to help orr brothers and sisters much in the middle east etc)
And then some like "Lord Jesus, please hurry" moments.....
But seriously, Scott, this is crazy. It's steam rolling towards the moment. It's getting to that place in labor, where it's going to get really really nuts...having had two kids and delivered plenty, uh, yeah, this moment, right now, is when it's started for earnest.
Hang on tight, nestle up to Jesus, cause it's on...
Passover has me wondering what's up. I'm expecting something to intensify shortly.
Hopefully not Yellowstone. But hey I know where the train is going so whenever it's my turn to board....
I really look forward to meeting all of you finally. You are amazing!!!!
Be of good cheer! I think we might be on the home stretch now! WoopWoop :)
