Lebanon BLACKOUT: Whole country without power (no fuel)
DiscloseTV ^

Posted on 10/09/2021 5:45:07 AM PDT by janetjanet998

There is no more electricity in the whole country after the two largest oil-powered power plants in Lebanon were forced to shut down due to a lack of fuel.

The affected thermoelectric plants Zahrani and Deir Ammar power stations had been providing 40% of Lebanon’s electricity, according to their operator, Electricité Du Liban.

The blackout could last a few days, as a Lebanese government official told Reuters.

“The Lebanese power network completely stopped working at noon today, and it is unlikely that it will work until next Monday, or for several days.”

Hey, guys!

I got a brand new Generac, still in box...real cheap.

Might need a little maintenance.

(Fell a few feet off a loading dock into floodwaters, took six days to recover, but, hey...fixable.)

Just let me know.

Should be good for a couple of homes, as long you take times using the fridge and stove and limit to 2-forty watt bulbs.

No delivery, though.

We really need to have this happen here in the United States for 48 hours. I’d hate it, but something drastic needs to happen before these idiots learn that what their doing will fail.

Can anyone offer a cogent explanation for this? Who controls the countries electrical grids? Why are they failing?

I think it's a case of:

1) Ruling class strips the wealth out of the country and transfers it offshore,

2) The currency of the country collapses in value by over 90%,

3) There isn't enough of the devalued currency in the country to purchase the fuel and food and whatever else that the country needs to continue to operate as a civilization.
