flow, NCAR predicts that Cycle 24 will peak in 2012 with a massive coronal mass ejection that will blast the planet with a massive EMP pulse.
The US Army calculated that it would take an EMP blast level of between 30-80 kV/m to fry the circuits in a vehicle. But in tests using a 2010 Toyota Prius, they began at a minimum level of 5 kV/m. They didn’t need to raise the EMP level any further.
And if they want to raise it any higher, they’re gonna need another Prius.. .
According to various official astrophysics and solar research labs around the world, something very, very strange is going on in our solar system. A partial list includes the following:
- Recent solar activity highest in 8000 years
- Sun's magnetic field has decreased in size by 25%
- 300% increase in galactic dust entering our solar system
- Mercury’s magnetosphere experiencing significant increases
- Venus exhibiting a 2500% increase in its “green glow”
- Mars showing a rapid appearance of clouds and ozone
- Mars observations reveal up to 50% erosion of its ice features within a 12-month period
- Jupiter plasma torus increasing; its moon Io exhibiting the same changes
- A 200% increase in the density of Io's plasma torus
- Jupiter's Disappearance of White Ovals since 1997 - recent increase in storms
- Io's ionosphere is 1000% higher
- Jupiter’s moon Europa much brighter than scientists expected
- Jupiter’s moon Gannymede is 200% brighter
- Saturn's plasma torus is 1000% more dense
- Aurorae first seen in Saturn's polar regions in recent years
- Uranus was featureless in 1996 - exhibiting huge storms since 1999
- Uranus in 2004 was also markedly brighter than in 1999
- Neptune is 40% brighter in the near-infrared range based on observations from 1996 - 2002
- Pluto observations reveal a 300% increase in atmospheric pressure
What was fascinating to me was not its ponderous and unwieldy name, but the acronym derived from the letters in boldface. They call it Lucifer. Coincidence?
What would happen in the case of another Carrington Event is all speculative since the planet hasn’t been hit full on since becoming wired. But most probably, the side that took the full force of the hit would be instantly plunged into the 19th century.
The rule of thumb would be that if it has wires, it’s broken. The Grid would be cooked. Most cars would stop dead in their tracks. Cellphones and satellites would fry. Forget about computers and the internet.
There would be no food delivery system, no way to deliver clean water, no banks, no ATMs and no money. Cities would become war zones. If you live in a city, your best bet would be to try to get out. But that will be no easy trick without transportation.
There is probably no good way to prepare for something like this, but we have several weeks worth of food on hand, together with some cash and other barter materials. (Just in case we’re still here and the Rapture hasn’t happened yet.)
But I’m not so sure we will be. Among the signs Jesus outlined as harbingers of His return was the following:
"And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken." (Luke 21:25)Compare that verse to conditions as they have been, say, since you were born. In just my lifetime, sunshine has gone from being the healthiest thing on the planet to one of the most deadly and toxic.
Now, it threatens to wipe out life on earth, at least as we know it.
The more we learn about outer space, there more there is to fear. Asteroid strikes, solar storms, even warnings about killer gamma rays are part of our daily news cycle.
Add to that the fear associated with climate change, the celestial alignments due over the next few years (in 2014-15 there will be four “blood” moons) and the global drive to clean up the environment at any price and you find that you pretty much have in Luke 21:25 a summary of this week’s Space New
