GAS, SATELLITES, SOLAR STORMS, AND I TOLD YOU SO…

Perhaps it is appropriate that I'm blogging about this story, shared by L.G.L.R. (with our gratitude) on the 85th anniversary of Nazi Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union on this date in 1941, beginning Operation Barbarossa. That event was, of course, a diabolical and bloody storm, but in the calculus of human hubris of a Hitlerian scale, nothing compared to the story that L.G.L.R. shared. For years I've been maintaining various versions of the following geoengineering scenario: that the "Powers That Be" took a strategic decision after the end of World War Two (brought about in no small part by the very country Hitler invaded and many would argue (myself among them) that it would have been impossible for the Western allies alone to win that war without that country) to prepare a long-term response to the problem that the UFO represented: were "they" a technology? If  so, whose? And if so, one had to assume in that "worst case scenario" sort of way in which such power elites often  take their decisions and formulate policy, it represented a potential threat. As that threat represented a potential off-world threat coming from "somewhere else", they took the decision to indulge in a bit of Kardashev-Farrell "gunboat diplomacy".

Kardashev was the Soviet astronomer who, during the height of the Cold War and in precise response to the possibility of extraterrestrial intelligent life, devised a classification scheme for the types of civilizations mankind might encounter. A Class 1 civilization required the energy output of an entire planet to sustain itself. A Class 2 civilization required the energy output of an entire star to sustain itself, and a Class 3 required that of an entire galaxy. In this classification system, it is easy to deduce that a Class 3 civilization would take little to no interest in humans, whereas a class 1 civilization would be much more interested in us as we were, at the end of World War Two, on the cusp of becoming a Class 1 type, and therefore, a potential threat. Similarly with a Class 2.

But in the absence of requiring the energy consumption of entire planets or stars, which would be very easy for either a Class 1 or 2 civilization to determine, that power elite was presented with a problem: how to convince such potential threats that we were more dangerous than our energy consumption made us look. Here I elaborated, in a couple of my books and in several presentations at conferences and on interviews, my "Farrell Corollaries" to the Kardashev scale, corollaries that in my mind make much more sense than Kardashev's original classification scheme, and that sense may be elaborated by asking the question: without being a class 1 or 2 civilization, how would one convince such civilizations to leave us alone? And the answer is to do so by a kind of interstellar gunboat diplomacy, or, in this case, by a kind of systems engineering diplomacy, by demonstrating a capability of engineering systems of planetary or stellar scale. The meaning and intention of such a demonstrated capability would presumably be clear to any "outsiders": any such capability can in theory be weaponized, turning an entire planet, or star, into a weapon. 

For years, in that context, I have been urging that various geoengineering projects have as their goal the engineering of the planet, and even of the Sun itself. I have advanced many hypotheses and scenarios on how they might be done: ionospheric heaters, for example, can engineer weather systems, and a good case can be made that they can steer them, and strengthen or attenuate them. After all, every weather system is a planetary sized-system that ultimately interacts with every other weather system on the planet. Seismic waves might be used to create or damp earthquakes, and so on. Similarly I have reasoned that the vast magnetic fields of CERN's large hardon collider might be capable, through magnetic resonance effects, to produce effects in the planet, and they in turn, through similar resonance effects (possibly in conjunction with those  ionospheric heaters) might be able to produce some measurable effect in the Sun.

All of this, until now, has  been speculation and conjecture of the sort we do on this website: taking the odd story, and connecting the (very disturbing) dots.

But now we have a story that gives us yet another version of this planetary and stellar engineering, and this time the story is very clear in its implications that "they" indeed are engaged in weaponizing the planet, and a strong hint is given that they're doing so with the Sun itself:

Radical proposal would block solar storms with orbital ‘airbag’ Gases released from satellites could slash the threat of severe space weather

And for the original paper, check here:

Terrestrial Space Weather Protection Through Human-Produced Mass-Loading

Note the following from the first article:

When violent eruptions from the Sun slam into Earth’s magnetic field, they do more than paint aurorae across the night sky. They can scramble the electronics of satellites and induce powerful ground currents that knock out electrical grids. It’s been estimated that a one-in-a-100-year solar storm like the 1859 Carrington Event could cause more than $3 trillion of damage to the power grid alone.

Yet for decades, society’s only defenses have been better space weather forecasts and more durable technology on the ground and in space. Now, a small group of space physicists says humanity should intervene and weaken solar storms in real time. In a study published today in Space Weather, the researchers describe a provocative proposal called “StormWall”: a fleet of satellites that would release hundreds of tons of gases into space just before a solar storm strikes Earth. Computer simulations suggest the artificial cloud could cut the intensity of a major solar storm by half or more. “It’s as if you could install an airbag in the magnetosphere,” says Daniel Welling, a co-author and space physicist at the University of Michigan.

Call it “helioengineering”—a deliberate intervention in the near-Earth space environment. But unlike controversial geoengineering proposals to mitigate global warming, which would inject long-lived Sun-blocking particles into the atmosphere, StormWall’s protective gases would dissipate within hours, says Brian Walsh, the study’s lead author and a space physicist at Boston University. “It’s waiting for us to do some temporary modification.”  (Emphasis added)

So boiled down to its barest essence, what do we have? We have (1) satellites, (2) releasing "gas" that (3) damps or attenuates the effects of mass coronal ejections, thus protecting sensitive electronics and systems based upon them - like digital currency, social credit systems, AT data centers (both those in space and on the ground), and so on. In other words, we have here clear evidence that the Global Power Grubbers have seen the same weaknesses in the financial system they're trying to build that everyone else has.

Of course, the weakness of their "strategy" is revealed in that telling second element: the gas. For it is equally possible to envision the release of a gas that would not attenuate the disruptive efficiency of a solar mass coronal ejection, but rather one that would increase its efficiency, perhaps even cohere it. For years, many people - including yours truly - have been arguing that the chemical spraying going on is being done to increase the electrical conductivity of the Earth's atmosphere.  Combine all of it, and one has some very potent - and very potentially dangerous - engineering capabilities:

The proposal would require more extensive simulations and testing. But it is “highly innovative and appears to be quite feasible in the near term,” says Allison Jaynes, a space physicist at the University of Iowa. It’s a “laudable idea,” adds Gurudas Ganguli, a space physicist at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL).

Normally, Earth’s magnetic field acts as a shield, deflecting most of the solar wind—the stream of charged particles that constantly flows out from the Sun. But during extreme solar storms, Earth’s magnetic field can “reconnect” to the Sun’s, short-circuiting the barrier. “It’s sort of like a shield dropping,” says Amy Keesee, a magnetospheric physicist at the University of New Hampshire.

When that happens, energy and charged particles stream into Earth’s magnetic environment. The charged particles can fry satellite electronics and harm astronauts. Some of the energy gets dumped into the upper atmosphere, heating and inflating it. The resulting drag can pull satellites out of orbit more quickly.

At ground level, the disturbances to Earth’s magnetic field generate electrical currents along any long conductive pathway. Those currents surge through power lines and transformers, creating blackouts such as the collapse of Hydro-Québec’s grid in Canada during a massive 1989 storm.

Earth has a partial natural defense. Just outside the planet’s atmosphere is a doughnut-shaped reservoir of cool plasma, or ionized gases. When a solar storm disturbs Earth’s magnetic field, a plume of this material is pumped toward the Sun. Observations show this extra mass acts like ballast, slowing the rate at which Earth’s magnetic field reconnects with the Sun’s. “It’s like a dead weight,” says David Sibeck, chief of heliophysics at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. (Boldface and Italicized emphasis added)

Notably, some of the people lauding the whole idea of the "Storm Wall" are connected with the American military.  It does not take a Nazi rocket scientist to see that, by alterations of this or that parameter of the system outlined in the above paragraphs, that a "Storm Wall" can easily become a "Storm Surge", and even that some  parameters of that plasma circuit might conceivably be used to "tickle" the Sun itself to spit out those dangerous ejections in the first place. And rather than damp them, the engineered system is used to cohere and direct them.

How would one go about building such a diabolical hellish system? The answer is given in the whole premise of the article: one would do so behind the cloak of defending against it. Could one tell the difference? No, because the same elements are used for both purposes. One would never know. One would merely have to Trust The Science, or rather, Trust The Scientismists, The Engineers, and the Technocrats, that they'd never do such a thing.

And of course, if you don't think they're capable of such a bottomless lust for power, then I have a Storm Wall for sale... cheap...

See you on the flip side...
