Without citizen journalists or watchdogs groups, we wouldn’t know what the leftwingers are doing. Citizens wouldn’t be able to communicate in real time if a disaster or threat happens.

Sounds like you read “48 Hours”?
I’m about 40% through it.
Good book, so far.

A "Carrington" type event would wipe out just about anything that wasn't seriously hardened. We have no idea at all how common a CME of this magnitude happens. The only reason we noticed the Carrington event was because it was during the early days of the use of telegraphs. Prior to that, there was really not much of any way to detect them.
For those who are interested in information about solar weather without the hype, visit SolarHam. It's geared more towards Ham Radio operators, but they have great info there.

I may have to check that out, I haven't read it, but I did see this:
LINK: "Grid Down, Power Up".
What is discouraging is that it is preventable for relatively small money, but they want to throw it all at the Climate Change hoax.

Or the government can wipe out the Internet right around 11/1/24 and blame it on a solar storm...

Agree! I don’t see a problem here. People would actually have to communicate face to face?! OH THE HORROR!!!The internet being down would be the least of our problems if a Carrington sized CME hit is full on. Just about all communications equipment of any kind would be fried. Just about all automobiles and other forms of transportion would be similarly affected. Most modern farm machinery would cease to function. I figure 5 billion people would die from starvation in a year.

Once “they” start floating these stories, watch out! It means it is in the planning stages. Sunspots will be the handy culprit. LOL!

First I'd ever heard of it.
Good book.

It would have without all the work put in by companies to ensure it did not. The man hours in our small part of our company was huge.
