So what happens to the crypto-currencies if the internet goes down for an extended period?

Part of their plan. Can’t have people communicating with each other during the end of freedom.

I've got food, water, alcohol, medicines, guns, tobacco, and a generator with a full tank of propane. Let the Carrington Event happen and watch the natives go apeshit.

Rare Solar Superstorm

It would not be the first one neither will it be the last one. One of the more severe one was the Carrington event in 1859. Luckily at the time humanity was not that heavily dependent on electricity along with all the wiring as well as computer chips what goes along with it, otherwise I have a hunch we would have seen wide spread mayhem.

Since then we had several more minor episodes over time. Should we get a direct hit all bets are off, in comparison an EMP event would not even come close. One of these episodes is very well described on a very interesting website VIEWZONE.COM you may find the article there under ‘Petroglyph discovery suggests Clovis culture witnessing such a cosmic event’ dating back about 13 K years.

The Carrington Effect will revisit us.

When it does civilization is over as we know it.

nothing else can eliminate 50% of the worlds population in 6 months. and another 50% the next 6 months.

It’s not joke and we’re not remotely prepared for it. We barely missed it in 2014 so don’t laugh it off...

Speaking of apocalypses, someone told me that a new Arizona recount run by Republicans has just been released. So I Googled and found this is indeed true. There were a lot of articles from all the major media and also 2 British news sources, so I picked this link which was the local paper. Their article was written a few hours before the official release, but like the other articles says the recount indicated a slight increase in Biden’s overall vote count in Maricopa Co. Sighhhhh!. This article probably has local political details that the major media might not grasp.

Getting us ready for the upcoming communication blackout.

Is this going to be the excuse for the government doing it or another we’re all going to die scenario?

The current internet is controlled by the Deep State, and is setup to facilitate lots of censorship, even vote flipping.

I’m expecting a switch to a Starlink-based internet, with some blackout transition period.


I thought Starlink is a satellite ISP competing with other satellite ISPs and cable ISPs. So if that is correct, though you would prevent some DS censorship by ISPs, at this time DS censorship of ISPs seems fairly minimal compared to the browsers.

How does Starlink limit browser and social media censorship?

What am I missing here?

The problem is with the electrical grid. Simulations suggest that the amount of energy induced into the wired grid could melt portions of the transmission system (transformers, for example).

There is NO indication that fiber optics would be affected; the problem is that with undersea cables there are repeaters which are powered via wire links to the shores. Shorter runs of fiber don't need repeaters, so only the power connections at the end stations would be affected.

Most likely Skylink would survive. If there was a global blackout, Skylink would still be available to anyone with a ground terminal and backup power. Most websites would be gone of course, but I imagine there would be enough services available to get some comms through, and get whatever news was available.

We’re getting close to the end of the fiscal year. Scientists need money to continue their work, and the best way for them to stimulate cash flow is to create an illusion of impending doom.

The switch to starlink is part of a much broader plan.

Twatter/FB/google/Inst/etc will be dealt with at their highest levels, separately AFAIK, from the satellite switch.

A nuke set off just outside the atmosphere would be very noticeable.🤔
