In August of 2017, North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un made public threats to annihilate our bases on the Pacific Island of Guam with medium-to-long-range strategic ballistic missiles. Guam, an unincorporated territory of the United States, houses the two closest bases on U.S. soil to North Korea, and represent the westernmost tip of the country’s military might.
On Aug 12, 2017, President Trump phoned Guam’s governor, Eddie Calvo, to assure him the U.S. was behind Guam “1,000 percent.” The governor told him, “I’ve never felt so safe, or felt more confident, with you at the helm.”
On Saturday, Sept. 2, 2017, Governor Eddie Baza Calvo and First Lady Christine Calvo held a Prayer for Peace gathering at the Government House in Agana Heights in honor of the Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima* visiting Guam in celebration of the centennial year of the Fatima apparitions. At the gathering, the First Lady led the holy rosary. Guam is a predominantly Catholic community.
On June 12, 2018, then-President Donald J. Trump of the United States and Chairman Kim Jong-Un held a historic summit in Singapore at which they signed an accord. Among the promises, North Korea agreed to denuclearize.
Guam’s Gov. Calvo said, “This agreement paves the way for peace between the U.S. and North Korea and moves us toward the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula. The Territory of Guam is thankful to our President and his stance on peace through strength policy which elevated peace within the Asia Pacific region — this is something we truly are grateful for.”
Calvo also noted that, fifteen minutes after Trump signed the agreement with Kim Jong-Un, the statue of Our Lady of Fatima arrived at his house. “I don’t believe in coincidences.”
As Trump was traveling back to D.C., Gov. Calvo was able to enjoy a brief visit with POTUS while Air Force One refueled. During their meeting, he gave Trump what Sarah Huckabee Sanders called “a religious momento that symbolizes world peace. Later, Gov. Calvo said he had given him a scapular, though I couldn’t find any mention of which one it was.** Best guess, it was the Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.***
With Dementia Joe at the helm, North Korea has blatantly violated the 2018 accord. Four days ago, The Nuclear Notebook reported, “North Korea continues to modernize and grow its nuclear weapons arsenal [and] may have produced enough fissile material to hypothetically build up to 90 nuclear warheads, but has likely assembled fewer than that—potentially around 50. To deliver the warheads, North Korea is enhancing and diversifying its missile force, most recently with new solid-fuel long-range strategic missiles, short-range tactical missiles, and sea-based missiles.”
