Definitely "got all that" except for the Nacerima/Anihc business.
Being fairly phonologically fluid doesn't translate well for me to be
anagramically so, for some reason!
I was attempting my own "pretend naivete" regarding the location of the
strike which IS near and dear to my heart (canelo, az), though I have
NOT built a bunker much less cached any weapons there. The Steens
(Canelo Project) wrote the classic book on Straw Bale architecture and
Athena is Santa Clara and her sister is our own famous Roxanne Swentzell.
I use(d) "punked" to reference the business of making me think one thing
was happening and then handing me a surprise that left me embarrassed
for what I assumed.
