Utah is under siege from a rapidly spreading infestation of Mormon crickets—cannibalistic insects that have returned in massive swarms.


Utah is currently facing a significant infestation of Mormon crickets, particularly affecting towns like Fillmore and Holden in Millard County. These flightless insects, which are actually shield-backed katydids, have emerged earlier than usual this year, leading to widespread concerns among residents and farmers.

The crickets are notorious for their voracious appetite, consuming vast amounts of vegetation and posing a threat to crops and gardens. Their presence has also created hazardous driving conditions, as swarms crossing roads can make surfaces slick and reduce visibility. Unexplained Mysteries+1Wikipedia+1


Efforts to control the infestation are complicated by environmental regulations, especially on federal lands managed by agencies like the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management. These areas are often the origin points for the crickets, and restrictions on pesticide use limit mitigation strategies. Daily Express US

Historically, Utah has dealt with similar outbreaks. In 1848, early Mormon settlers experienced a severe cricket infestation that threatened their crops. According to tradition, a large number of seagulls arrived and consumed the crickets, an event commemorated as the "Miracle of the Gulls."

Today, residents and officials are seeking modern solutions to manage the current outbreak. The Utah Department of Agriculture and Food is working with local communities to implement control measures, including the use of pesticides where permitted. FOX 13 News Utah (KSTU)

As the situation develops, authorities continue to monitor the spread of the crickets and advise residents to take precautions, especially when traveling through affected areas.

Staged Arrests and Manufactured Outrage: Is the Anti-ICE Movement Just a Political Theater Script?

Scott Jennings CLASHES With Tara Palmeri,  Says VIOLENCE Is a LEFTWING Problem | RISING When CNN’s Scott Jennings recently described Democrat anti-ICE protests as “porn for their base,” he wasn’t exaggerating—he was peeling back the curtain on a growing tactic: the deliberate use of lawbreaking and confrontation as a tool for public relations, political branding, and campaign fundraising. What looks like resistance is increasingly being seen as a carefully rehearsed performance . Prominent progressive lawmakers and activist influencers are being filmed “resisting” ICE agents, blocking vehicles, or chaining themselves to detention centers—all with camera crews conveniently positioned to catch every dramatic angle. These aren’t spontaneous acts of civil disobedience—they’re made-for-viral moments , ready for social media blasts, donation links, and campaign ad reels by sundown. Critics argue this behavior isn’t just performative—it’s calculated incitement . The goal? Stoke outrage, b...

The Dark Ages - Where did 300 Years Go?

“The Phantom Time Hypothesis: Did 300 Years of History Never Happen?” A growing body of alternative historians and critical chronologists question the conventional timeline of Western civilization, especially surrounding the so-called Dark Ages (circa 614–911 AD). This period, often described as a historical void—where few records, innovations, or artifacts exist—has led some to believe that the missing clarity isn’t due to lost history, but fabricated history . This idea, known as the Phantom Time Hypothesis, suggests that nearly 300 years were artificially inserted into the timeline by medieval rulers, particularly under Holy Roman Emperor Otto III and Pope Sylvester II, to legitimize their reign as taking place during the anticipated “millennium” year—1000 AD. Supporters of this theory point out glaring inconsistencies: architectural styles appearing centuries before their time, gaps in archaeological layers, and duplicated historical records between the Roman and Byzantine periods....

🚨 BREAKING: Israel OPENS Iran Prison’s  Gate As Pahlavi Announces Transition Government With Israel reportedly bombing open the gate of Iran’s notorious Evin Prison —well-known for holding political dissidents and dual nationals—independent analysts are asking: Was this a symbolic act meant to liberate political prisoners, or a strategic move to aid in a clandestine regime destabilization? Simultaneously, Reza Pahlavi , exiled Crown Prince of Iran, has announced the formation of a transition government in waiting , positioning himself as a ready leader for a post-Khamenei era en.wikipedia.org +14 thesun.co.uk +14 timesofindia.indiatimes.com +14 . Here’s the operative question being posed: Is this synchronized action more than coincidence? Prison gate, prison leaks : Striking the gate, not the prison, suggests a calculated effort to allow political prisoners—especially regime critics and potential figureheads—to escape or be freed, thereby boosting Pahlavi’s transitional narrat...
