I just feel really bad though for the children that will have to go through with this...I'm old and don't give a dam, but they have their lives ahead of them which could be a good life if we hadn't let TPTB ruin it for all of us....

Funny you should mention that. Just this evening on my way to a meeting I drove several miles into "God's country" passing farms and beautiful country homes. It suddenly occured to me just how much these places stood out against the flat terrain and cropland. In an urban area where houses are just feet apart and buildings are thirty stories high it all blends together. Seems to me the last place you would want to be is alone on a farm with your house sticking out like a gold thumb.

I hope you are right but I have something for you to think about that mite lead you to really think about your post here. What happens to every nuclear power plant on earth when a flare from the Sun shorts all or most of the wires out in them and they can't cool the rods any more, do you think there will be anything left alive on earth? If thats not enough a big enough flare from the Sun could even wipe the atmosphere from the Earth along with all life leaving the Earth sterile.

That is a very good point my friend..
and one I cannot argue or disagree with.

Very good question(s).
Questions I cannot answer,
but you are absolutely right..
that is a BIG concern!

I guess there is nothing we would be able to do about it anyway...
Other than hope for some kind of "Divine intervention" or something.

I guess I just have to have faith that The Universe knows what It's doing and everything will turn out exactly as it's supposed to....
and if everything turns out exactly as it's supposed to (whether we understand it or not),
Then who are we to decide whether it is less than perfect, or not?

There is a good reason for everything that happens, no matter what it is..
Even if we fail to see or understand it from our own little perspectives...

I dunno...
But your thought does concern me a bit...
Thanks for posting it.. <3

Thanks I agree with you, Divine intervention is what I pray for every night for us all its scary as hell to think about what could happen to us and like you said the only thing that keeps me sane is hoping everything turns out exactly as it's supposed to even if we fail to see or understand it from our own little perspectives.

If there is a significantly sized solar flare frying all electronics on the planet, most people would be completely reduced to nothingness, almost immediately.

We are now more vulnerable to EMP than at any time in the history of the planet. We have lost the ability to do things without electronics and machines, even simple things that we've done for thousands of years, the last 2-3 generations have forgotten how to do.

As much as many people on this site have bravado in that they say "this won't affect me as I'll just go live in the woods somewhere with a mountain of supplies" I wonder how many people can actually do this if they had to? Have you tried doing this for a year to see how you do in your chosen "habitat"? Likely you'll have to last much longer than a year.

Most people would be at a complete loss if they weren't able to call 911 in an emergency. Hey, we even see that people complain that they don't know what to do when the power goes out for a few hours in the winter.

People don't have common sense any more, and have a huge sense of entitlement that "someone else will be responsible for making sure I'm ok".

In the first few weeks of a national emergency, millions would die simply from lack of medication. Many medical ailments can be fixed without medication, but people tend to prefer to become reliant on pills instead of diet control or exercise to fix maladies.

Millions more would display symptoms of withdrawal as their electronic devices were forcibly removed due to the EMP, and would be completely useless without their electronics.

Millions more will die simply because they lack any sort of emergency plan, and lack the common sense to realize that a central help point would likely be setup at community halls, schools, fire stations, police stations, etc.

Millions more will die because "no one checked to see if they were ok". This happens every time there is a heatwave, sometimes hundreds of people die because they think they'll be fine if they save money by not turning on air conditioners.

Common sense ain't so common any more, and is your best friend in a survival situation.

Indeed,

I truly think that is the only thing keeping me 'sane'.

sooooo..... will it.... erase my Sallie Mae balance?.... I'm trying to see the good in bad.

All it takes is one 1859 Carrington Event type storm to wipe out modern technology. The earth today is far more populated than it was in 1859 (most sources say around 1.2 billion) and much more reliant on technology to sustain that many people (currently nearing 7 billion). Once you remove farming equipment, water treatment, medicine factories, and automobiles from the equation, you begin to realize the potential for problems. And that's not even talking about potential nuclear meltdowns!

Warring over resources is likely, first on a local level. Rule of law will quickly break down. Once the local population is thinned out by riots and the like, those left will soon form treaties and ban together to invade neighboring countries for more resources. Limited nuclear attacks are possible if governments have properly secured them in hardened facilities, which is likely.

In the end, whoever controls the clean, non-radiated water supply is king.

These solar storms are real. They have happened before. They have never happened when humanity is living off of technology. The Carrington Event saw aurora as far south as the Caribbean islands and caused telegraph poles across the U.S. to catch fire. Imagine what that would do to the massive grid that we have now? Or our tiny circuited microchips? Ask Canadians living in Quebec in 1989. That was a baby solar storm and it knocked out their grid for half a day.

Like they always used to say about New Orleans and the "big hurricane" that would someday come, and like they say about LA and the "big one" earthquake, you can also say about the next massive solar storm: It's not a matter of if, but a matter of when. Be prepared, deny ignorance. These are real events. You can't speculate that they won't happen. Only when, and they are very unpredictable.

I'd believe Michio, because he is just straight up, no nonsense guy...me thinks he's on the money...

"And those raptured will be counted among the dead...."

Embrace your destiny...why fear it...

Peace

I didn't know before the nuclear crisis in japan that the plants needed outside energy you would think that something that supplies power could power its own necessities ironic i guess. Nor did i think of a solar flare hit the nuclear plants would be a issue guess I didn't think that too deep about it.

And then I see comments about drugs running out but I wonder if that wouldn't be a good thing since sometimes the side effects are worse than the sickness and the misdiagnosed. But I could see that being harmful.

Lastly I am curious if solar panels would be affected and if they couldn't be a solution, now I know that wont be nearly close to solving our power problem in event of catastrophe but I'd imagine you could set up centers for neighborhoods and the community rather than trying to power each house. I do find it hard to believe the billion dead number I know we are all so dependent on technology but seems a exaggeration, but I've been wrong before could just be naive.

There's only one thing for it! If we're gonna have a big fat flare then everyone had better make sure that they have a big fat BLUNT to go with it! It helps to ease the pain don't you know !!!! Besides, why not say that it's going to happen since there's no one that can tell us WHEN it's going to happen. 1 Billion dead? How's them figures dovetailing with the NWO crowd? 1 Billion, does that smooth out the Bankers balance sheets? We'll see, but it could be alot worse! It could be WWIII !! Oh, right, that's already been going on know for what, 32 years now anyway?
