We haven’t seen this much anti-Russian rhetoric since Joe McCarthy’s days. Back the, though, Russia was communist. Thanks to Ronald Reagan, it no longer is. In fact, its Christian Church has been reestablished.

We haven’t seen this much rhetoric against a Christian Russia since the days of Lenin, Trostky and the Bolsheviks. Today’s neocons are acting like their heirs, urging war against post-communist Russia.

Am I missing something? Were there massive power grid outages in the last two years?

This stuff is so weird. I think we should fear China far more.

are the MSM trying to tell us that modern urban Brits don’t know how to ride out shortages? I’m not sure how many deaths were caused by the WW2 blackouts - likely many more from the doodle bombs than the dark. And surely their mums and grands taught them about WW2 rationing. How all those jars of jam, flour, salt, lard and baking soda, tinned milk and meat and smoked sausages, etc. set aside for a rainy day came in very handy.

If our power grid got taken out, I’d just go to Home Depot and buy a generator, and then stop for gas on the way home.

". A previous storm in 1859, now known as the Carrington
Event, caused so much geomagnetic disruption that telegraph
operators reported sparks bursting out of their machines."

Wow! What a massively electrified society they had back then.

Prepper Ping - Electrical disruption/ power loss (temporary or long lasting)

Are you prepared ?
"As well as a cyber attack, other black sky risks include extreme weather,
an electromagnetic pulse caused by a nuclear detonation in the atmosphere and terrorist attacks on key substations or transformers.
One of the most destructive risks would be a powerful solar storm.
A previous storm in 1859, now known as the Carrington Event,
caused so much geomagnetic disruption that telegraph operators reported sparks bursting out of their machines.
Such a storm today could cause havoc to electrical systems."

Are you prepared for this ?... candles, kerosene, batteries ?
Venezuela is currently rationing power- as episodic as it is,.. and the power is totally unpredictable. Sometimes they are only getting 4 hours of power per day.
Our grandparents, especially in rural areas, were prepared for power loss and used 'spring houses' and other accommodations.
Today were are faced with vulnerable power and electrical sources that go down from hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding, mudslides, and other natural disasters.
Can you and your family survive a power loss for weeks, or even months, as they have had to do in Puerto Rico ?
Or, will you have to await FEMA, the Red Cross, or another humanitarian organization ?

Is there a concerted effort by the powers that be to start a war with Russia? Why would this be.

Anyone with a brain will realize that cyber attacks from the ChiComs and Norks is much more worrisome

Intranet, not Internet for control systems.

If they haven't figured out at least that then, yeah, they could be in trouble.

Same here, maybe less. How much food do you reckon the average EBT-paying customer has at home?

In other words, if the globalists decide to sabotage Britain’s power grid, they want people to think it was Russia.

Let me tell you something about hu-mons, nephew. They’re a wonderful, friendly people…as long as their bellies are full and their holosuites are working. But take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers, put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time, and those same friendly, intelligent, wonderful people will become as nasty and as violent as the most bloodthirsty Klingon. You don’t believe me? Look at those faces. Look at their eyes.

No surprise here. Russia has always been looking for ways to disable the US. The electric grid is one way. We do the same thing to them. It is part of war planning and intel operations.
