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.

Passengers report 'loud bang' at tube station in London

 http://vothemes.com/2017/08/passengers-report-loud-bang-at-tube-sta...

 Holborn Underground station has been evacuated after a "loud bang" and smoke filled the platform (Aug 15).

Eye-witnesses have reported hearing a loud bang and smoke coming from a Central Line train.

Passenger Sarah Marshall told The Telegraph: 'There was smoke at one end of the station, a high pitched bang and a smell. "I was towards the back of the crowd". Severe delays are affecting the rest of the line as a result.

There is now no service between Liverpool and White City westbound and tickets are being accepted on London Buses.

"There was a fire alert on a westbound Central line train", a spokesman for London's transport operator said.

They added on Twitter: 'Some west-bound trains are being held at short notice while we investigate a faulty train at Holborn'.

And at Kings Cross a train has hit the buffers at slow speed.

London's main shopping district, on Friday (Aug 11), due to an electrical fault under the train.

However, others said the panic amounted to people tapping their Oyster cards as they left the station so they weren't overcharged.

Taiwan economic minister resigns over mass blackouts

 Taiwan's economic minister resigned Tuesday following an outcry over massive power failures (Aug 15) across the island, affecting 6.68 million households.

 Outages were reported in 17 counties earlier in the day after an operational error caused six generators to stop working in Taiwan's biggest natural gas power plant in northern Taoyuan county, the government said.

Traffic lights failed in many parts of the island, while there were also incidents of people being trapped in elevators.

The national police agency has since set up an emergency response centre to ensure order.

Economic Minister Lee Chih-kung, whose ministry supervises the power supply, tendered his resignation on Tuesday night, which was approved by Premier Lin Chuan according to a cabinet official.

The news comes just weeks after Taiwan's government came under criticism for ordering air conditioning in official buildings to be turned off for several hours daily to save electricity.

A supply shortage followed damage to a power transmission tower by typhoons in late July..."

Pacific Princess Cruise Ship Skips Jersey Call Following Power Outage Onboard

 https://www.cruisecritic.com/news/news.cfm?ID=7996

( 12:45 p.m. BST) -- Pacific Princess's current eight-night Ireland and Scotland voyage got off to a slow start yesterday (August 12) as the ship was delayed departing the port of Dover following a power failure onboard.

The line has confirmed that the 680-passenger ship finally departed after power was restored and all hotel services were up and running again at 12:18 a.m. this morning.

As a result, Princess Cruises has cancelled the ship's first port of call at St Helier in Jersey today.

In a statement the line said: "The cause of the power failure is under investigation by the Captain and his Chief Engineer.

"The delay will impact the planned itinerary with a cancellation of the first port of call St. Helier (Jersey). Instead, Pacific Princess will proceed to Waterford (Ireland) for an early arrival on 14 August."

The ship will also call at Dublin and Edinburgh before arriving back in Dover on August 20.

Passengers onboard the current Pacific Princess cruise will each receive $150 in onboard credit for the missed port.

On Tuesday a “major electrical substation failure” at the Tukwila Station [3] suspended service between Othello and Angle Lake stations for approximately six hours. “The Tukwila failure caused major damage to the breaker and control system, destroying wiring and all equipment with memory that might have provided information about the events leading up to the failure."

 

Earlier on Tuesday, trains were also stopped at the Mount Baker Station [2] “after a unit along the trackway that sprays lubricant caught fire,” according to Kimberly Reason a spokesperson for Sound Transit [Seattle, Washington].  The fire was quickly extinguished.

At this point, Sound Transit hasn’t been able to determine the cause for either service disruption on Tuesday.

Sound Transit is also investigating if the substation failure at Tukwila is related to Sunday’s two-half hour outages at Angle Lake [1].

Link Light Rail operators have been given orders to slow accelerations to reduce stress on the system. Sound Transit said slow orders to operators will reduce voltage spikes and stress on the system and will continue as the investigation moves forward and permanent repairs are made.
