The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787 |

Quoting: PlanBSurvival How do random power poles in 5 counties spontaneously combust? An EMP (Electro-Magnetic Pulse) can hit on the night side of earth coming from deep space. This happend a couple of years ago, suprised everyone at NASA. It didn't cause any damage, it did cause much alarm however. With everyone looking at our sun for CME's/Flares etc. I hope some effort is underway to detect these deep space EMP's.

Quoting: Carshy McCarsh Sometimes a squirrel can black out a city. :lightening: You can always check here for outages in Texas: [link to www.ercot.com] That's one of the oldest lies in the books. Union electricians blame animals for their shoddy work but a power outage NEVER occurs because of animals. Looks like you bought into that bullshit excuse long ago. Here's an example. Military bases NEVER have power outages but they have squirrels, hawks, rabbits, etc..just like every other place on the planet. The one thing military bases don't have is union electricians. |
