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.

The Red Cross wants to be sure you're prepared for Space Weather, and could be commended. However they are embracing A  MAIN ESTABLISHMENT LIE: BLAMING THE SUN.

American Red Cross works to educate people on space weather

https://www.koco.com/article/watch-mars-mission-nasa/33468355

Space weather isn’t a term you hear every day. In fact, you may not even know how to prepare for this kind of “weather.” That’s where the American Red Cross comes in to help.

TRANSCRIPT: 

the American Red Cross is finding a way to help keep your kids entertained and learning. This summer, meteorologist Sabrina Bates reports that they're posting educational content online just for your family. The American Red Cross wants to bring everyone into the discussion of preparedness. I spoke with a Red Cross volunteer today to get some insight on this local stem series that will leave a larger impact, starting with the discussion about something you may not have heard of before. We have preparedness pods, educational pods for hurricanes and earthquakes and fires and tornadoes. But we really haven't addressed space weather. And we're hoping toe introduce area students and families not only to the vulnerabilities but the way that they can prepare for a solar storm. Space weather refers to the space environment between the sun and earth that can affect our technology. Solar storms could even impact us here in Oklahoma. If we were in a have a severe solar storm. It doesn't just potentially impact a county or a coastline. It could impact the entire northern portion of the United States. The Red Cross wants to be sure you're prepared for this. If it were to happen But with this new home school environment, they're also hoping that you sit down with your kids to teach them something new. Starting today, the American Red Cross of Oklahoma is sharing links, homework assignments and suggested subjects on their social media pages. Here you can follow links to NASA and FEMA. You'll be guided through science and safety topics to learn more on how to prepare your family, but also get a cool science lesson in for the kids. My hope is that even after this awareness campaign ends this week, that that people will continue to study space, whether hopefully we will inspire some future scientific minds and leaders in the community. If you do participate in these lessons, they're hoping you take three things away. Better preparedness knowledge and a desire to get involved with community service in the first alert.

Space weather refers to the space environment between the sun and earth that can affect our technology. Solar storms could even impact people in Oklahoma.

The Red Cross wants to be sure people are prepared for a potential space weather event. But with the new home-school environment, they’re also hoping parents sit down with their children to teach them something new.

The American Red Cross of Oklahoma has shared links, homework assignments and suggested subjects on its social media pages. If you do participate in the lessons, the American Red Cross hopes you take away three things:

better preparedness, knowledge and a desire to get involved with community service.

An Explosion & Fire On the USS Bonhomme Richard Leaves 57 Injured

An explosion caused a three-alarm fire at a San Diego naval base, which was concentrated aboard the USS Bonhomme Richard and has resulted in dozens being injured.

Several hours after the fire started, reporter Tim Arvier said that San Diego Fire Department Chief Colin Stowell said the ship would likely “burn down to the water.” According to reporter John Dissauer, the chief said, “This fire could go on for days.”

According to the SDFD, the first alarm was called at 9 a.m. on July 12, a second alarm was called at 9:09 a.m. and the third alarm was called at 9:51 a.m. PDT. As of 9:30 a.m. PDT July 13, the fire has been burning for at least 24 hours.

The U.S. Naval Surface Forces initially announced on Twitter that 11 sailors had experienced minor injuries in relation to the incident, but otherwise, all crews were accounted for. An updated report noted that 34 sailors and 23 civilians had been hospitalized in the fire’s wake.

Krishna Jackson, the base’s spokeswoman, told Stars and Stripes that an estimated 200 sailors were aboard the ship when it caught fire and that the ship itself was undergoing routine maintenance when the fires started. The ship, also referred to as an “assault vessel,” acts as a vehicle to deploy and land helicopters, small boats and other water-related vessels.

The Fire Started with An Explosion July 12

Local TV station NBC-7 reporter Allison Ash noted that a “loud explosion” was heard from an “inferno” coming from the ship at around 10:51 a.m. PDT on July 12.

By about 11:05 a.m. PDT, firemen said they had located the fire, but had not extinguished it yet, instead requesting more water lines, according to fire radio transmissions. Another said they would need to start moving people back due to the fumes.

It is unclear what started the explosion. According to what one firefighter said on radio transmissions, an officer aboard the ship told him that there are no “heavy ordinance” (large firearms such as mortars and machine guns) above the ship, but only small arms (pistols, guns, etc.).

One firefighter seemed to indicate that the explosion came from the hatch. “The fire looks like it’s moving further to the bow and there’s a lot more smoke coming out of the hatch were the explosion started,” that firefighter said around noon over radio transmissions.

NBC San Diego assignment editor Bill Feather reported on Twitter that Rear Admiral Phillip Sobeck said the fire started in the lower cargo hold and that the earlier explosions were caused by a backdraft.

“Our conditions are getting worse here and I’m going to start pulling people out. We’re going to wait until the sprinkler system is active and then put people back in,” one firefighter noted on radio transmissions.

“Conditions on my end are not getting any better and are looking a lot worse, so I’m looking to go defensive,” another firefighter replied.

Firefighters determined it would be best to pull everyone out at roughly 11:24 a.m. PDT and noted that a sprinkler/hose system would likely be ready by in half an hour.

“All units, we are going defensive. Start evacuating the ship,” SDFD announced over a loudspeaker.

The SDFD reported on Twitter that multiple agencies, including Federal Fire, reported to the scene.

“We have an explosion, we have no injuries at this time, right now we are taking all personnel and gear off the pier,” one firefighter reported on radio transmissions at roughly 11:38 a.m. PDT Five more ambulances were requested to the scene as firefighters cleared the pier.

Firefighters Received Reports From Sailors That The Fire May Have Reached Fuel

At around noon, a firefighter reported over radio transmissions that there was heavy smoke coming from the ship. “We’ve got heavy smoke and we’re no longer putting water in the hole because of the explosion,” a firefighter said over radio transmissions.

At 12:02 p.m. PDT, firefighters set up a continuous foam operation.

Half an hour later, a dispatcher noted over radio transmissions that, “Engine One reporting multiple sailors running from the ship reporting that the fire was getting in the fuel.”

“We had a mass of sailors run toward us when the smoke turned black and they said it had gotten into the fuel,” the firefighter from Engine One reported before mentioning that a broader area might need to be evacuated.

As night fell on July 12, the “#shipfire” showed no signs of slowing down and people posted on Twitter that more explosions were heard.

Firefighters are still battling the smoke and some residents have posted images on Twitter of helicopters being used to drop water on the vessel.

Audra Stafford of the San Diego’s NBC station tweeted that she spoke to people as far as away as Escondido, San Marcos, Vista and Rancho Penasquitos said they could smell the smoke. The National Weather Service San Diego Station has confirmed that the smoke is far-reaching, explaining to residents via Twitter, “Noticing a fairly acrid smoke smell this morning? It’s likely related to the #shipfire aboard the USS Bonhomme Richard.”

The San Diego Naval Base released a statement via Facebook advising people that they are not accepting donations and warning people to be aware of scams offering to provide financial support for those impacted by the fire.

Ryanair Flight Makes Emergency Landing in Greece

ATHENS — A Ryanair flight en route from Berlin to Athens made an emergency landing at Thessaloniki airport on Friday with 164 people on board, Greek authorities said.

The flight issued a distress signal and sought permission to make an emergency landing while flying over the Halkidiki region of Greece, the civil protection ministry said.

The ministry said the crew had reported a fire, but a Ryanair spokeswoman said the emergency had been triggered by an "unidentified odour in the cockpit and cabin" and that there had been no fire.

Emergency protocols were deployed and the aircraft landed safely at Thessaloniki's Macedonia airport, where 157 ticketed passengers, an infant and six members of the crew disembarked, the ministry said.

US Navy still trying to figure out exactly why aircraft launch system on $13 billion supercarrier failed

https://www.businessinsider.com/navy-still-diagnosing-key-tech-on-c...

• The aircraft launch system on the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford failed during recent at-sea testing, and the US Navy is still trying to figure out exactly what went wrong.
• A fault in the power handling elements of the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) caused it to fail, hindering flight operations until a workaround was developed days later.
• The specific cause of the fault is still unclear though.
• "We're still going through the diagnosis. We're doing full-fault isolation to understand ... what caused the condition to come up in that way," James Geurts, the Navy acquisitions chief, said Thursday, according to Inside Defense.

The US Navy is still unsure exactly what caused a critical piece of technology on the first-in-class aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford to fail earlier this month.

On June 2, during at-sea testing, the Ford experienced a power problem that caused the Electromagneti..., hindering flight operations for five days.

Unlike the steam catapults on the older Nimitz-class carriers, the new EMALS on the Ford uses electricity to create strong magnetic fields that propel a carriage connected to an aircraft down the runway, throwing the plane into the air.

While the EMALS is supposed to be better than the steam catapults, it has not had the smoothest development.

Paris blackout: Huge power outage across French capital sparks chaos - 'Apocalypse?'  6/24/2020

The blackout struck at around 10.30am local time, and primarily affected eastern Paris, such as the 19th and 20th arrondissement, in France. The municipalities of Lilas, Bagnolet and Montreuil also experienced a power outage. A whopping 117,000 customers were cut off from electricity, including at least 210,000 homes.

The power outage impacted public transport, especially the T4 line, which was expected to be delayed until at least noon.

RTE France told BFMTV.com that the power outage was caused by an incident on an electrical substation in the Paris region.

People quickly turned to Twitter to discuss the loss in power, with one person asking whether it was the "apocalypse".

The Air Force has averaged one aircraft mishap every week since the beginning of May

https://taskandpurpose.com/analysis/air-force-aviation-mishaps-2020

After years of working to reduce the number of major aviation mishaps and associated fatalities among U.S. service members, the Defense Department is now facing a worrying spate of incidents.

 (U.S. Air Force Capt. Andrew “Dojo” Olson, F-35 Demonstration Team pilot and commander, performs a   dedication pass during the Melbourne Air and Space Show in Melbourne, Fla., March 30, 2019. (U.S. Air   Force/Senior Airman Alexander Cook) 

The Air Force has had six aviation mishaps across its aircraft since the beginning of May, averaging one mishap each week.

On May 2, an armed F-15C Eagle from Oregon Air National Guard's 142nd Fighter Wing skidded off the runway during an unplanned landing at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, Saturday afternoon after declaring an in-flight emergency.

On May 15, an F-22 Raptor assigned to the Air Force's 43rd Fighter Squadron crashed near Eglin Air Force Base in Florida after the aircraft's pilot safely ejected.

On May 19, an F-35A Lightning II assigned to the Air Force's 58th Fighter Squadron crashed upon landing at Eglin AFB in the base's second fighter jet crash in less than a week. The pilot ejected safely.

The back-to-back mishaps at Eglin triggered a brief suspension of flight operations at the base as part of a precautionary "safety pause," Military.com reported.

On June 8, the landing gear of an F-35A Lightning II assigned to the Air Force's 388th Fighter Wing collapsed during landing at Hill Air Force Base in Utah. The pilot egressed safely from the aircraft.

That same day, an Air Force C-130 overshot the runway at Camp Taji Airbase in Iraq, crashed into a wall, and a burst into flames, injuring four U.S. service members.

On June 15, an F-15C Eagle assigned to the Air Force's 493rd Fighter Squadron at RAF Lakenheath in the United Kingdom, crashed in the North Sea on Monday, killing pilot 1st Lt. Kenneth Allen.

"All six of these mishaps are currently under on-going and independent Safety Investigation Boards," Air Force Safety Center spokesman Keith Wright told Task & Purpose. 

The series of mishaps comes on the heels of a relative decline in both Class A mishaps — defined as an incident involving a loss of life or at least $2 million in damage to an aircraft — and related fatalities across the U.S. armed forces in recent years.

In January, a Task & Purpose analysis showed that the U.S. military saw 43 Class A mishaps and just 13 related fatalities in fiscal year 2019 across the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force, well below the U.S. military's six-year high of 52 incidents and 39 deaths in fiscal year 2018.

According to mishap data, the Air Force and Navy saw a significant decline in both Class A mishaps and mishap-related fatalities from 2018 to 2019 while the Army and Marine Corps saw slight upticks in serious mishaps year over year.

In particular, Air Force mishaps fell from 23 to 15 in a single year, a decline that service officials attributed to a force-wide operational safety review initiated in mid-2018.

That safety review came on the heels of a Military Times investigation that showed mishaps involving aircraft across the armed forces had ballooned by nearly 40 percent between 2013 and 2017.

"The Air Force remains focused on investigating each mishap individually to identify specific cause as well as recommendations in addition to looking for potential trends and commonality amongst these mishaps in effort to safeguard Airmen, protect resources and preserve combat capability," Wright told Task & Purpose.

The Air Force isn't the only service who has struggled with aviation mishaps since May: on Thursday, two naval aviators assigned to Carrier Air Wing 11 aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt ejected from their F/A-18 Super Hornet over the Philippine Sea before they were safely recovered by helicopter.

According to Naval Safety Center data, the loss of the Super Hornet was the Navy's sixth Class A aviation mishap so far this year.
