A U.S. service member has died after setting himself on fire Sunday outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C., authorities confirmed Monday. A video posted online showed the man shouting "Free Palestine" as he burned during the incident, which lasted about a minute before law enforcement officers extinguished the flames at about 1pm. The man appeared to be in military uniform and identified himself as "an active duty member of the U.S. Air Force." Air Force spokesperson Ann Stefanek confirmed via email Sunday evening that "an active duty Airman was involved in today's incident." The Israeli Embassy said in a statement that none of its staff was injured and all were safe. The latest: The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) said in a statement Monday that after first responders arrived on the scene the man was "transported by DC Fire and EMS to a local hospital where he later died." Police identified the man as Aaron Bushnell, 25, of San Antonio, Texas. An investigation of the incident is ongoing, MPD said. In the video of the incident, Bushnell said he would "no longer be complicit in genocide," which the Israeli military was accused of committing in Gaza in an International Court of Justice case brought by South Africa. "I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest." The MPD said in a post to X that its Explosive Ordnance Disposal was called to the 3500 block on International Drive in northwest D.C. "in reference to a suspicious vehicle that may be connected to the individual," but it later reported that no hazardous materials had been found.You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.

It was just before 1pm on Sunday that Bushnell approached the heavily-guarded Israeli Embassy building on DC's International Drive speaking into a camera on a selfie-stick. ‘My name is Aaron Bushnell,' he tells the camera, ‘I am an active duty member of the United States Air Force and I will no longer be complicit in genocide. I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest, but compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it's not extreme at all.' With that, Aaron Bushnell set himself on fire, his last words were ‘Free Palestine!' On this episode of the NTEB Prophecy News Podcast, this year is barely 2 months old and we continue to see astounding things that defy explanation. Aaron Bushnell was connected with known anarchist groups the Burning River Anarchist Collective and Mutual Aid Street Solidarity. Both these groups support Far Left ideals and are anti-government, anti-police, pro-LGBTQIA, and pro-Hamas.

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique was confirmed to be reopening later this year at both Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort, but no specific dates have been provided. Source: Disney Parks Blog Story #2 Genie+ Changes at Walt Disney World In an announcement that Walt Disney World Resort will open bookings for theme park tickets, Disney Resort hotel stays and packages for visits in 2023 on June 8, a change to Genie+ was also mentioned. Starting June 8, Disney Genie+ will only be offered for purchase through the My Disney Experience app on the day of your visit. Previously, Disney offered the option to purchase this service pre-arrival as a ticket add-on. This means that moving forward, whether you have an Annual Pass, multi- or single-day ticket, you may only purchase Disney Genie+ service on the day of your visit via the app, one day at a time, subject to availability. Disney hopes this adjustment will help manage the strong demand guests have shown for Disney Genie+. Disney stated, on average, guests who purchase Disney Genie+ service will continue to enter 2-3 attractions or experiences each day using the Lightning Lane entrance when the first selection is made early in the day. Any tickets already purchased that include Disney Genie+ service for dates later in 2022 will still be honored. Note this update is also only happening at Walt Disney World Resort and will not affect guests at Disneyland Resort. Disney also confirmed the early theme park entry benefit for Disney Resort hotel guests will continue beyond the 50th Anniversary for visits throughout all of 2023! This benefit gives Disney Resort guests an opportunity to enter ANY of the 4 Walt Disney World Resort theme parks to enjoy select attractions, shops, and dining EVERY day (valid admission, park reservation, and Resort ID required).

 Will Smith offers up an apology to Chris Rock after assaulting at the Oscars. Biden's off-the-cuff gaffes are a national security threat. All Americans would be safer if he skipped overseas trips. And lastly, a 14-yr-old teenager visiting Florida from Missouri, dies a gruesome death at ORLANDO's Icon Park Amusement Park. Carl questions if ride attendants were afraid to tell Tyre Sampson that he was too big to ride the ride because he was black.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on an all new episode of ‘The Dark Ride' we hop aboard the SS Queue Too Long, and head to the defunct past of Amity. A sunny seaside past where we are forced to fight off several robot sharks, exploding boat houses, and one underpaid spieling captain as we float around on a tour of a land locked harbor off of Orlando's International Drive. If you miss the fiery explosions, live gun play, and all things big and bombastic of the 90s, then you have come to the right place. So, will Jaws the Ride, torpedo us all the way up the mast or will our boat be swimming with the fishies? There's only one way to find out!

Hour 1In the first hour, Joe discusses how he come to be involved in MUFON, the world's oldest, largest, all volunteer, non-profit, civilian, research organization.A love for science fiction drew him to a book about the incident at Roswell, New Mexico in 1947.  However, he was still skeptical but visited a UFO museum on International Drive in Orlando, Florida.  Seeking answers, he bombarded the owner with questions about the UFO phenomena.  The owner quickly found out that Joe's questions wouldn't be satiated with a monthly journal.  He become a Field Investigator, started a MUFON chapter in his area, and furthered his personal research.Knowing that the "Experiencers," those who had abduction encounters, contained the real information to get to the bottom of the phenomena.  He found that these Experiencers suffered from Post-traumatic Stress Disorder  and other psychosocial issues and needed to be handled carefully and kindly.  This is what birthed "CE4 Research Group" which means "Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind" the kind dealing specifically with abductions.Hour 2When dealing with abductions, Joe had to have extreme discernment to help separate real memories, false memories, and implanted memories.  These memories or recollections of Experiencers had an element of truth, but didn't have the foundational expectations of what real memories possessed.Joe then digs into the real nature of aliens - they are anti-God, anti-Christ, anti-Bible, and anti-Creation - anything that goes against the True God of this universe. "If these are extraterrestrial, biological beings coming from another world from vast distances, why would they come here to bash one belief system when we have so many belief systems on this planet," Joe asks.Drawing from his research, Joe describes his conversion to Christianity through a previous girlfriend. After this, he recounts the first observation where the name of Jesus Christ stopped an abduction experience and saved an individual from harm.This information is what the Ufologist and UFO research community does not want you to hear.Need help with alien issues?

For this months ‘Waffle', Ben is in charge and we take to the skies in one of Disney's finest transportation options. Disney's Skyliner.
