LOL havent seen reference to a conniption fit in a long time . Gonna be hard to keep a straight face if he returns to the Q threads.
Well, well. Looky at what I just found:
“In a court document released Wednesday, the tabloid publisher, American Media Inc., admitted to coordinating a hush-money payment with Trumps 2016 campaign...AMIs CEO David Pecker also had a decades-long copacetic friendship with Trump.”
David ^_Pecker_^ also had a decades-long copacetic friendship with Trump.
Sounds like the prosecution has a pecking “order”?
Our chief weapon is ridicule.
Ridicule and scorn.
Amongst our weaponry, is ridicule, scorn, and a ruthless efficiency.

Same with the JFK Jr nonsense. Thankful.

Awesome song, Carry On my Wayward Son.
Formatting sucks, but I liked the song so much that I read it anyway! :)
That post lost me the second [646] + 14 came out to be 141. There’s a level of chicanery going on there that I’m not privy to! :)
“””Was the Black Eye question ever answered?”””
Posting blind. But throwing out this suggestion
Don’t think seen. Think unseen.
“””Regarding the Q drop 2615
Q - Should we be prepping for some kind of shutdown?
No.
Reports of ‘power grid’ attacks (6 mo prep) should be disregarded. While attacks do occur, we are safeguarded by a ‘Black Eye’. Q “””
An enemy could attack either the power grid through two ways. Either attack and physically destroy generating facilities, transmission lines and substations, or, gain access and attack the computer software that controls all of the above. The later has happened in the past.
IIRC, when the Iranian centrifuges being used to refine the uranium for their nuclear program were wiped out it was done through gaining access to the computers that controlled them.
A physical attack is slower and can be seen, a software attack can be unseen and much faster.
I ran across this old article this morning which may offer a hint. Note date:
RCN ‘Upgrade’ Crashes System
Starpower Subscribers Among Many Off-Line for 33 Hours

“The technicians “gave the Internet a black eye,” said Merle Roberson, 67, a retired Pentagon computer expert who was part of a team that helped develop the original Internet, the government’s Arpanet.”
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/WPcap/2000-03/07/025r-030700-idx.html
What if in addition to the normal computer security measures taken by blocking outside hacking attempt pathways to gain access to grid or internet software, upon detection of those attempts, the security software injects its own attack aimed back at the attacker’s software or computer disrupting the attack, giving the attacker a “black eye”.
If such a thing exists, then by its crucial defensive nature it would be hard to read about it in the public domain.
I don’t know. Food for thought.

Love it!
‘Black eye’ caught my attention as well.
I’m in the electric utility industry. Never heard the term ‘Black Eye” before, at least not in relation to our industry.
EMP gets tossed around a lot, especially among those tasked with making proactive changes designed to minimize the effects thereof. And yes, the industry is not sitting silently amid the potential threat. Nor are they advertising their actions. Suffice to say that the issue is on the radar, the power system is being hardened to a good extent, and such an attack would still cause plenty of problems AFAIK.
WHO IS TALKING?
THINK BIG.
THINK BIGGER.
THINK BIGGEST.

maybe....it was BILL CLINTON who was talking!!!!!!! against HRC!!!
lolololol....
You mentioned “Black Start” capability, and I don’t think that’s what Q was referring to when he mentioned ‘black eye’.
Utilities have all kinds of black start generators in their systems, usually hydro generation or Gas turbines that don’t require a large amount of startup power. Our entity has 4 designated plants with this capability, but there are about a dozen more that probably can do it but aren’t tested periodically and so are not designated as “black start’.
Your mention of the “black start diesel” is true - a nearby hydro plant that is designated “black start capable’ has a small diesel that is first started to bring up control systems and lighting in the plant so that the operator can bring a generator up without outside power. I’ve not toured any black start CT plants, but I suspect that the scheme is similar.
True story - during the tornado outbreak of 2011, there was an area in Alabama that was electrically isolated from the rest of the grid - there was no way to tie it to the interconnected power grid because tornadoes had taken down all the transmission ties. But there was a hydroelectric plant in the area that was black-started and served to provide a source of power for the area until some of the transmission assets could be rebuilt and returned to service.
Granted, the source wasn’t large, but the area was so hammered by tornadoes that the demand for power was also pretty small.
I remember. Still, the words are nice and don’t have to be commie-intended.
Smocking or no smocking...
That is the question. LOL
There are other things in life besides World Events!
That is VERY interesting!
