EMP denial

[Gerard Zwaan]

On Monday, May 11th, we had a surge of power through our house so great, that it magnified the brightness of our lightbulbs tenfold.  The lights and one of the circuits proceeded to burn out, and the surge fried anything that was plugged in—as a strong burst of magnetic energy would. Even a surge strip did not keep the cable box from being fried. This type of situation has never occurred in our home in over 50 years. The event occurred at a little after 13:00 pm CST, or 18:00 UTC. No source was found for the surge, only a fried wire, which had caused a burning smell in the home. Certainly a malfunctioning wire, more than like fried by the surge as well, would not cause a surge in power, but a reduction in it. Would the Zetas care to comment on whether we are now experiencing  EMPs from PX on a more frequent basis? If so, would it be recommended that all electronics not in use be disconnected from their power source? Space was relatively quiet, but the magnetosphere was fluctuating widely. [and from another] http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news... The cut was said to have been caused by an electrical surge. People in the area say "Smoke was coming from the electric cupboard from 86 Deansgate when the power surge hit. 4 fire engines responded to the call". Jade Barrow is a receptionist at 86 Deansgate, and said the whole building shook. She said: "The firemen explained to me that an electrical surge is like 2 magnets hitting each other. That's why it all shook because of the force."  [and from another]https://poleshift.ning.com/profiles/blog/show?id=3863141%3ABlogPost... May 15. After 15 days with approximately 300 hours of missing data, it appears the uninterrupted BATSRUS RCM image feed has resumed.

Air France 447 in 2009 and Malaysia 370 and the recent Germanwings A320 are in the news because they impact the airline industry, and the blame thus placed elsewhere. To date, pilot suicide, storms, and bad pilot judgement have been used, and how is the public to know otherwise? Electric trains such as the Disney Monorail  and DC Metro crash incidents in 2009 and the recent Amtrak 188 go into investigation while talking heads murmur about safety devices or track maintenance or mechanical failure, which ultimately get the blame.  

It is only when the public is broadly affected that the public can get a hint that something else is afoot. Cell phones are regularly having disrupted service but the blame is placed on blocked access to towers or bad weather. The blackberry outage in 2008 was blamed on a software glitch. If the public is frankly being lied to, engineers responsible for maintaining equipment and the grid are not fooled. The talk has spilled over into the press, or into conversations with the public. During the Washington DC blackout, the electrical problem was described at first by the Washington Post as a “surge”. 

This is a key determinant between a failed electrical system, a simple outage, and electro-magnetic pulse. Pulse is a surge, and the sudden increase in the amount of magnetons and their associated electrons, such that equipment controlled by a steady pace of either particle flow goes into a runaway state. When equipment is guarded by surge protection, to guard against lightning strikes, it will shut down, as a brownout situation can damage equipment. But unless a lightning strike was present, there can be no excuse for a pulse or surge other than the presence of the charged tail of Planet X, aka Nibiru.  

What can the public expect? As cell phone service and cable TV via satellite continues to degrade, as airplanes increasingly crash during complete electronics failure or are forced to land with smoke in their cockpits, as electric trains surge off the tracks and brakes fail, as transformers explode at dams and on the grid, and as residential lights flicker and erratic and unexplained and spotty blackouts descend, the public can expect endless inane excuses from the establishment. The truth will be withheld because mankind is so dependent upon his electrical systems and equipment that the thought of being without is unthinkable. It is mass denial.

BREAKING: Flights Suspended at Dallas Airports Due To ‘Undetermined’ Communication Problem With Air Traffic Control

(CBSDFW.COM) — Communications with radar control have been restored at Dallas Love Field Airport and part of DFW, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

Flights out of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and Dallas Love Field were temporarily suspended due to a communications issue with radar control, the FAA said.

There was an “undetermined problem” that interrupted radio communications to the Dallas-Fort Worth Terminal Radar Approach Control. The issue started just before 7:40 p.m.

Air traffic controllers are working to get planes that are on the ground moving in order to get ahead of a line of storms coming toward the area.

A small number of flights were diverted to other airports, in part because of the storms now arriving into North Texas.

The FAA is still investigating the cause of the radio issue.

This is a developing story and will be updated.  June 23, 2019 at 9:35 pm

Solar flare, aging infrastructure or Russia: Who gets blamed when the US has a massive power outage?

The New York Times has once again plumbed the bottom-feeding depths of journalism with an uncritical story on how the US hacked Russia’s power grid – without Trump’s knowledge. What could possibly go wrong?

Imagine the following scenario. You are home alone on a Friday evening, relaxing with your favorite TV series when suddenly the lights go out. Using the wall as your guide, you struggle to the kitchen to find some candles. On the way, you glance out the window. A mild panic takes hold as your brain processes the shocking scene: from your view atop a New York City high-rise not a single visible light can be seen aside from the twinkling of car headlights far below. The Big Apple, home to over 8.5 million people, has been plunged into a metallic sea of darkness.

In an effort to comprehend what has happened, you begin to ponder apocalyptic plot-lines borrowed from a Mad Max flick. Did the planet’s power grid finally get fried by one of those solar hiccups we’ve been conditioned to fear? Did that damn rogue asteroid final impact the earth? Did WWIII begin and nobody tell you? And undoubtedly you will hypothesize along the way that America’s arch nemesis, Russia, has been playing with the power switch.

And who would blame you? After all, for almost three years we’ve been bombarded with fake news about ‘Russiagate’ and meddling Russians. And just a few days earlier the New York Times – the hallowed ‘paper of record’ – reported that the United States had planted “crippling malware” inside of Russia’s power grid “with an aggressiveness that had never been tried before.” What would compel the saintly Americans to do such an insane thing? Why, because the Russians started it, of course.

Massive power cut hits all of Argentina and Uruguay leaving 48m without electricity

Parts of Brazil and Paraguay are also reportedly affected by the outage which has caused trains to be halted

A massive power cut has hit Argentina and Uruguay and is believed to have left 48million people without electricity.

The outage - thought to be the first of its kind - has caused trains to be halted and failures with traffic signalling, according to reports.

Major electricity supplier Edesur Argentina said in a tweet: "A massive failure in the electrical interconnection system left Argentina and Uruguay without power."

A spokesperson for the company, Alejandra Martínez, told Infobae: "Never has anything like this happened before."

The power cut, thought to have originated in Argentina, has also affected parts of Brazil and Paraguay, reports say.

It is believed to have happened at around midday (GMT), which is 7am local time, and to have affected 48million, the BBC reports.

The dramatic video above shows the power cutting out on a crowded train in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and it appears people were forced to get out and walk in the dark.

The power cut has affected all of Argentina

The power cut is thought to have originated in Argentina

Initial investigations indicate the blackout could have been caused by an imbalance between supply and demand of energy, Infobae reports.

The Energy Secretary told them that "a collapse of the Argentine Interconnection System (SADI) produced a massive power outage throughout the country that also affected Uruguay".

This comes as people in parts of Argentina were preparing to head out to the polls for local elections.

Images have emerged online of darkened streets

Images of darkened streets have emerged online, with people still able to take to social media to report the incident.   

One student tweeted that she was going to get up and study before the lights went out.

"How weird is this world," another wrote, commenting on the massive power cut, as another said: "I don't understand how something like this (could) happen."

Some of the affected provinces include Santa Fe, San Luis, Formosa, La Rioja, Chubut, Cordoba and Mendoza, reports said.

EPEC Cordoba, the Provincial Energy Company of Córdoba, tweeted: "At this time, work is being made to determine the reason for the failure and to be able to restore the supply in the shortest possible time."

UTE, the National Administration of Power Plants and Transmissions, tweeted:  "At 7.06 a defect in the Argentine network affected the interconnected system leaving the entire national territory without service, as did several provinces of the neighboring country."

It added: "The system is already being lifted from scratch. There are already cities on the coast with service and work is still being carried out towards the general restoration."

The outage comes amid the Copa América football championship held in Brazil.

Flight makes emergency landing at Cheyenne Regional Airport

https://www.wyomingnews.com/news/local_news/flight-makes-emergency-...

 

CHEYENNE – Pilots of a Delta Airbus A321 made an emergency landing at Cheyenne Regional Airport on Friday afternoon, leaving airport staff scrambling to assist more than 200 passengers and crew members for at least nine hours.

Around 3 p.m., pilots detected rising temperatures in the cargo department of a plane headed from Salt Lake City to Detroit, and deployed the aircraft’s fire extinguishing bottles.

“As soon as they did that at 35,000 feet, they knew they needed to land at an airport quickly” said Cheyenne Regional Airport director Tim Barth. “And, we were it. I got a call around 3:15 p.m. as I was leaving. They said ‘we’ve got an inbound Delta Airbus that’s on fire,’ which got my attention.”

It’s still unclear whether fire was found on the plane, but passengers re-boarded to retrieve belongings after it was cleared by firefighters. No injuries were reported.

“The fire department did have some higher readings, but not to indicate it was unsafe,” Barth said. Others indicated it may have been an electrical malfunction.

But passengers headed east were in good spirits following the incident.

“I’d never heard of Cheyenne before this,” said Mark Galsworth. “But we’re making the best of it, the only thing missing is maybe some beer.”

There was no beer, but Delta did give airport staff the company credit card to arrange catering through Little America.

“They’ve been taking care of us,” said Detroit resident Yolanda Screws.

“They even brought in two different meals. We can’t leave the terminal unless we want to book another flight or drive down to Denver,” Screws said.

Still, many were shaken following the abrupt landing.

“It was nerve wracking for sure,” said Jason Plaisted, who’s traveling to New York. “Especially when you’re an hour into the flight and, all of a sudden, they’re telling you it’s an emergency. No one really got upset or panicked, but we descended from 30,000 or so feet in what felt like a corkscrew, which is gut wrenching. It was a really fast landing, I’d say less than 15 minutes.”

Airport managers said Friday’s group was the largest they’ve seen in decades.

“The seating area of the terminal has a capacity of roughly 225-250,” Barth said. “And, if this terminal wasn’t here tonight, we would have had to call Laramie County and the city to enact a county-wide emergency plan to handle this.”

Around 9 p.m., passengers were told to expect another flight out of Cheyenne around midnight, the same time Cheyenne’s twice-daily SkyWest flight from Dallas was expected to arrive.

“They’re sending a Boeing 757 to pick up passengers,” Barth said. “I’m hoping SkyWest gets here before Delta does because we cant fit both those airplanes on this runway. We might have to park on the taxiway and make everyone walk out to it.”

Now, Delta will send mechanics and parts to repair the grounded aircraft.

“On top of this, we’ve had three weather-related diversions here today,” Barth said.

Alaska Airlines flight makes emergency landing in Portland after 'strong smell' detected

https://www.king5.com/article/news/alaska-airlines-flight-makes-eme...

 Flight 1323 from San Francisco to Seattle had to make an emergency landing in Portland on Monday night (June 10).

 An Alaska Airlines flight from San Francisco to Seattle was diverted to Portland late Monday night after a "strong smell" was detected on board. 

Ray Lane, a spokesperson for the airline, says Flight 1323 landed safely on the ground. There are no injuries. 

"There's no indication that there was a fire on board. The plane is being inspected by technicians to pinpoint the cause, Lane said in an emailed statement.

"We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused our guests, who are being rebooked on flights to Seattle." 

The Airbus 319 aircraft departed San Francisco International Airport at 9:14 p.m. Monday. It arrived at Portland International at 11:08 p.m.

Silent Rangel, his wife and two daughters, were on board at the time. He says they noticed a "vibration" in the plane when they were about halfway to Seattle. It wasn't violent, he says, but did seem abnormal. Shortly after, his wife asked him if he smelled something burning. 

Rangel, who lives in Arlington, says they noticed flight attendants' behavior change, as they began moving from one end of the plane to another. 

"Shortly after that, they got on the loud speaker and announced we were landing in Portland for safety reasons," Rangel says.
