Why Did John Kerry Fly To Antarctica On Election Night 2016?

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

This is not breaking news….

No, this is a retrospective where I want to look back on a VERY strange event that occurred in 2016.

Many of you probably already know about it.

The rest of you will probably be shocked (and confused) to learn about this.

So here’s the story…

On Election Night 2016, when President Trump pulled off the win that shocked the world (She was never supposed to lose), suddenly we had an even stranger breaking news story come across the wire…

Then-current Secretary of State John Kerry was suddenly on his way down to Antarctica.

Do you remember that?

My friend vDarknessFalls posted about it today which is what sent me on this memory trip:

Backup clip of (2020-era “Fat” Mike Pompeo) here:

Grok claims the trip was scheduled in advance, although I don’t remember ANYONE talking about it in advance.

John Kerry, the U.S. Secretary of State at the time, traveled to Antarctica on November 11, 2016, to learn about the effects of climate change on the continent and to meet with scientists conducting research there. His visit was part of a broader effort to emphasize the importance of addressing climate change and to gather information on the impact of global warming on the region. It is important to note that his trip was planned before the U.S. presidential election and was not directly related to the election results.

To the contrary, I remember everyone being shocked when they learned he had departed on Election Night (some even thought he was fleeing).

ChatGPT also claims the trip was planned in advance, but that is simply not how I remember it at all:

John Kerry’s trip to Antarctica during the 2016 election night was primarily focused on studying climate change and its global implications. As the U.S. Secretary of State at the time, Kerry visited the continent to meet with polar researchers who were studying a wide range of topics supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF), many of which related to climate change. His visit was part of a broader effort to understand the science of what was happening in both the Arctic and Antarctic regions and to comprehend the risks associated with environmental changes in these areas​​​​.

During his visit, Kerry embarked on a tour of the nearby regions to observe the scientific research being conducted. This included a helicopter tour that featured stops at the Cape Royds Adelie penguin colony, an air tour through the McMurdo Dry Valleys, and a visit to New Harbor. His itinerary was designed to give him a firsthand understanding of the environmental changes happening in Antarctica and their potential global impact. This visit highlighted the importance of scientific research in understanding climate change, as well as the significance of international cooperation in environmental protection efforts​​.

Kerry’s Antarctica trip was also aligned with the United States’ commitments to addressing climate change on the global stage, as it occurred just before an international climate change conference in Marrakesh. This visit underscored his and the U.S. government’s dedication to environmental issues and the need for continued research and international collaboration to address the challenges posed by climate change​​.

Also, whether it was planned in advance or not, it makes ZERO sense.

Kerry was the Secretary of State.

His job was interacting with other heads of State and international relations.

There is no Government of Antarctica to meet with.

Just penguins!  (allegedly)

His job is not to work on “Climate Change” and certainly not on Election Night?

How very, very strange!

Here’s a report from NPR when the event happened:

On this Election Day, Secretary of State John Kerry is traveling just about as far from Washington, D.C., as he can go. He’s on his way to Antarctica, becoming the first secretary of state to visit all seven continents after logging well over a million miles while in office.

Kerry is visiting McMurdo Station, a U.S. research center in the Ross Sea — and, yes, the South Pole, too. His spokesman, John Kirby, says the purpose is to talk to researchers and scientists before he joins climate change talks in Morocco on Nov. 15.

Kirby bristled when a reporter asked if Kerry was just trying to knock Antarctica off his bucket list before his term ends, and while U.S. taxpayers still foot the bill for such trips.

“As an individual who has literally championed climate change research and awareness for decades now, the secretary is and will remain committed to increasing the awareness and education of the public about this,” Kirby stressed. “It is important for him to see firsthand what we are learning about the environment down there on the South Pole.”

The trip does set and add to a couple of records: Kerry is the first secretary of state to visit Antarctica and all seven continents. This around-the-world trip will also add many miles to his total, which, according to the State Department, exceeds 1.3 million miles since 2013. He has visited 90 countries and his flight-time hours add up to 118 days.

Kerry easily tops former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice’s travel record of 1.06 million miles. Hillary Clinton traveled 956,733 miles, though she tried to tally more, according to a newly released email that hints at her competitive nature to see who has traveled most.

Nothing says “fighting climate change” like flying a massive jumbo jet down to Antarctica for no purpose whatsoever.

Of course that’s not where the strangeness ended.

Just a few days later, Buzz Aldrin was down there and had to be evacuated.

Anyone remember this?

From the Daily Caller:

Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on the moon, was evacuated from the South Pole after becoming sick while touring.

The 86-year-old former astronaut was visiting Antarctica as a tourist and was evacuated to the U.S. Antarctic Program’s research center. The touring company said in a statement that Aldrin was stable under the care of a doctor, but his condition had “deteriorated.”

The evacuation flight was provided by the U.S. National Science Foundation.

Aldrin is one of only 12 humans to walk on the moon. Seven of the astronauts are still alive, and include Aldrin, Alan Bean (age 84), David Scott (age 84), John W. Young (age 86), Charles Duke (age 81), Eugene Cernan (age 82) and Harrison Schmitt (age 81.)

Every living person to walk on the moon is past the average American life expectancy of 79 years.

Attempts to get some new moonwalkers, however, aren’t going well. President Barack Obama and Democrats in Congress were more interested in funding global warming science than going back to the moon during their tenure. Obama has repeatedly attempted to cut the parts of NASA that focus on science and exploration, so that money could be redirected to global warming research.

President-elect Donald Trump’s administration appears to be interested in returning American astronauts to the moon or sending them to Mars.

What in the world would an 86 year old Freemason need to be doing in Antarctica in the first place?

Very strange.

I have no idea what is going on in Antarctica but I do know one thing….

I do know that it’s VERY strange that almost the entire world has agreed upon the “Antarctic Treaty”.

Do you know about this?

Even countries currently fighting wars against each other right now are counterparties to the Antarctic Treaty, which says essentially that no one is allowed to go down there.

Why do you suppose that is the one thing we can all agree on and nothing else?

Does that make any sense to anyone?

From ChatGPT, this will blow your mind:

The Antarctic Treaty is a landmark international agreement that was signed in Washington on December 1, 1959, and entered into force on June 23, 1961. It was established to ensure that Antarctica remains a region dedicated to peace, science, and international cooperation. The treaty sets aside Antarctica as a scientific preserve, bans military activity on the continent, and prohibits nuclear explosions and the disposal of nuclear waste. It also supports scientific research and protects the continent’s ecozone. Over time, additional agreements known as the Antarctic Treaty System (ATS) have been added to augment and support the original treaty, covering environmental protection and the conservation of living resources in Antarctica.

As of my last update in April 2023, there were 54 parties to the Antarctic Treaty. These include original signatories who have consultation status (decision-making power) because of their substantial scientific activity in the region, as well as countries that have acceded to the treaty later and may have consultation status now.

Here is the list of countries that are parties to the Antarctic Treaty:

  1. Argentina
  2. Australia
  3. Austria
  4. Belgium
  5. Belarus
  6. Brazil
  7. Bulgaria
  8. Canada
  9. Chile
  10. China
  11. Colombia
  12. Cuba
  13. Czech Republic
  14. Denmark
  15. Ecuador
  16. Estonia
  17. Finland
  18. France
  19. Germany
  20. Greece
  21. Guatemala
  22. Hungary
  23. India
  24. Italy
  25. Japan
  26. Kazakhstan
  27. South Korea
  28. North Korea
  29. Malaysia
  30. Mexico
  31. Monaco
  32. Mongolia
  33. Netherlands
  34. New Zealand
  35. Norway
  36. Pakistan
  37. Peru
  38. Poland
  39. Portugal
  40. Romania
  41. Russia (as the successor state of the Soviet Union)
  42. Slovakia
  43. Slovenia
  44. South Africa
  45. Spain
  46. Sweden
  47. Switzerland
  48. Turkey
  49. Ukraine
  50. United Kingdom
  51. United States
  52. Uruguay
  53. Venezuela
  54. Finland

So…Russia, Ukraine, China and the USA are all parties.  Plus 50 other countries.  We can all agree on this just fine, meanwhile we’re bombing each other day in, day out?

Does that make any sense to anyone?

Any why is it so important to establish no one can go down there?

If it’s just Ice and Penguins, what’s the big flipping deal?

I don’t have all the answers, I’m just asking questions and I know when something doesn’t smell right.

Biblical Trees Beyond the Ice Wall…?

Our governments and the so-called “Elites” have lied to us for a long time about just about everything, and I think it’s HIGHLY likely that they are lying to us about the shape of the Earth and the nature of where we live.

Everyone still ok?

Did we lose anyone?

Well buckle up buttercup because it’s about to get wild!

This article is probably going to be one of the most controversial things I have posted in a long time.

And I’m ok with that.

I know some people will judge a book by its cover and immediately write this off, but I give you one caution before you do…

There is a famous quote I’d like to share with you that has been attributed to many different people over time, so I’m not sure who said it first, but it goes like this:

There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments, and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance – that principle is contempt prior to investigation.

Powerful.

Read that again and let it sink in.

If you want to remain in ignorance, write off an idea before you even look into it.  Surefire way to stay uninformed.

So let me begin with a question:

Why is no one allowed to go to Antarctica?

Oh sure you can go, but only to a few selection locations.  And NO further.  And only with a guide.

Why is that?

Why is it so important to protect whatever’s down there?

Why have all the countries of the world signed on to a treaty about Antarctica?

Yes, even Russia and Ukraine, who are currently engaged in WW:III have agreed on one thing: something VERY important is down in Antarctica and we have to protect it and prevent anyone from going and exploring.

Why is that?

What could possibly be so important about ice?

Unless of course if they have lied to us about the shape of the Earth?

Unless Antarctica is not at the bottom of the “globe” but actually makes up the ring surrounding it?

Sounds crazy at first until you begin to investigate, and it very quickly becomes something that has you scratching your head.

Let’s start with this video:

Think that’s just some crazy Tik Tok video?

It’s not.

You’re probably familiar with Answers In Genesis, right?

They do NOT espouse a “flat Earth” world view, but they did publish this article titled:  “Stumped By Forests in Antarctica”.

Here is a portion:

Forests in Antarctica? This frigid, forbidding continent is full of surprising evidences for the worldwide flood.

Is Antarctica on your bucket list of vacation destinations? It’s on mine!

What could possibly be of interest in Antarctica? After all, the continent at the bottom of the world is covered in ice and snow, and the temperatures are always below freezing. As the coldest, driest continent, it has one of the harshest environments on the planet and harbors a world of extremes. Turbulent winds and snowstorms can last days and even weeks, and the endless barren terrain makes Antarctica the world’s largest desert!

For half the year it’s a polar summer, when the unforgiving sun shines 24/7. Then, during the six months of the polar winter, the continent plunges into complete darkness.

So why would I be interested in visiting Antarctica? Well, to see rocks, of course! I’m a geologist.

Unlike the Arctic, which is simply an ice sheet floating on the ocean, Antarctica is composed of rock covered in ice and snow. Huge jagged mountain ranges jut up through nearly a mile of ice and snow, exposing rocks with all sorts of treasures, if you know what to look for.

Just two summers ago, a team was surprised to discover not just one but five “forests” piled on top of each other. They claimed the supposedly 260-million-year-old fossils represent a series of different forests that grew slowly and were buried one on top of the other over millions of years. They were looking for clues to understand how climate changes contributed to their extinction.

Finding such mysteries then putting them in the biblical perspective is why I love my profession and want to visit places most people would never consider.

Found—Fossil “Forests” of a Strange Extinct Plant

The team was led by Erik Gulbranson, a professor of geosciences at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, who set up camp in the central Transantarctic Mountains. They found several layers of tree stumps buried upright with parts of their roots still connected. They also found impressions of long, broad, flat leaves jumbled together in massive mats.1

These remains have been identified as fossils of an unusual extinct plant called Glossopteris, which is unlike any plant alive today. Pieces of this plant are commonly found in large Permian coal beds that are mined throughout the southern hemisphere, such as in Australia and South Africa.

The discovery of these plants wasn’t the big surprise. In previous expeditions the same team found similar “fossil” forests in the same rock unit in the central Transantarctic Mountains. Lab studies confirmed that all the fossil wood specimens belonged to the same genus, Glossopteris.

But their earlier analysis uncovered a surprise. The long-held assumption was that the Glossopteris plant was strictly deciduous (meaning its leaves drop annually in the autumn). Scientists made this assumption because they usually find their fossil leaves in mats, similar to thick mats on the floors of modern deciduous forests. The new analysis showed they were a mix of deciduous and evergreen trees. How could this be?

Based on their evolutionary assumptions about slow changes over millions of years, scientists suggested a possible explanation. They claimed that earth’s cooling climate had forced these late Permian polar forests to adapt to environmental stresses. The accumulation of these stresses ultimately caused their extinction.

There’s a lot more out there than your government is telling you!

And of THAT I am 100% confident.

Here’s another one, from the Christian Times:

A Christian geologist has argued that the recent discovery of fossilized tree stumps in Antarctica confirms the Bible’s account of a global Flood.

Live Science reported last month that a team of scientists led by Erik Gulbranson, a paleoecologist at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, had discovered a forest of fossil trees in Antarctica, which is said to be an indication that the climate was warmer there in the past.

While the researchers have not dated the forest precisely yet, they surmised that it flourished about 280 million years ago before it was rapidly buried in volcanic ash, which preserved it down to the cellular level.

However, Dr. Tim Clarey, a research associate at the Institute for Creation Research (ICR), contended that the fossilized trees are more consistent with the Biblical account of a global flood just thousands of years ago.

“This discovery should be no surprise to those who take Genesis as literal history. The Bible clearly describes a global Flood that affected all land masses—why should Antarctica be an exception?” he wrote in an article published on ICR’s website.

Clarey explained that dinosaur and mosasaur (massive swimming reptiles) fossils are found on every continent including Antarctica, which he says suggests that a much warmer global climate existed before the Great Flood.

He further noted that some creationists have tried to explain the presence of temperate climate fossils in Antarctica by claiming that the Earth had “rolled” on its axis during the Flood, resulting in the North Pole shifting from central Asia to its present position.

But Clarey pointed out that the temperate and tropical-type flora and fauna fossils, like dinosaurs, can also be found in central China — which he said would have been the north pole if the earth indeed rolled on its axis.

He contended that the entire globe was warmer before the global Flood and that the forces that are required to explain the shift on the Earth’s axis has not been resolved and remains a speculation.

Gulbranson, who specializes in geochemistry techniques, noted that the plants found in Antarctica were so well-preserved that some of the amino acid building blocks that made up the trees’ proteins can still be extracted.

Clarey argued that the secular science community cannot provide a viable explanation for such discoveries.

“How could proteins and original amino acids survive for millions of years?” he asked. “These trees were buried rapidly during the global Flood described in Genesis. Temperate and tropical plants and animals were caught up and quickly buried in the ash, mud, and sand that engulfed them in this cataclysmic event. These fossils remind us that God’s Word is true,” he went on to say.

But….but….we went to the Moon!

How can this be?

Right, about that:
