    Quote After a wastewater treatment plant lost power in Wilmington over the weekend, partially treated sewage flowed into the river. The American Water Works Association has reported 28 water utilities have issued boil-water advisories to people in the region in connection with damage attributed to Florence.

    That’s not the only crisis playing out. Thirty miles south of Wilmington, Duke Energy’s Brunswick nuclear plant has declared a state of emergency. The plant’s 1,200-acre complex is currently cut off to outside personnel by flood waters and workers are stranded.

    Quote Flooding resulting from Tropical Storm Florence has left Duke Energy’s Brunswick nuclear plant with limited access to the 1,200-acre complex about 30 miles south of Wilmington.

    The plant has declared an “unusual event,” the lowest level of nuclear emergency, as required by Nuclear Regulatory Commission, said NRC spokesman Joey Ledford.

    According to a filing listed on the NRC web site, “A hazardous event has resulted in on site conditions sufficient to prohibit the plant staff from accessing the site via personal vehicles due to flooding of local roads by Tropical Storm Florence.”

    Good news-as long as it's true:

    Duke Energy lifts emergency at Brunswick nuclear plant; relief workers start to arrive

    "Duke’s emergency notice alerted NRC of an “unusual event,” the lowest level of emergency at a U.S. nuclear facility, and did not indicate a threat to public safety.

    The reactors were never at risk of flooding inside the facility, according to Duke and the NRC, but Duke shut them down as a precaution when Florence, then a Category 4 hurricane, approached the state.

    Trump is currently touring N.C. as we speak, so I don't think he'd be there if there was a problem.

    Reposting what I wrote on the Sunspot thread as there may be a connection to the abnormal behavior of Hurricane Florence. Remember the 'Sam' call I spoke about earlier in the thread? Clyde Lewis replays the call again, while him and Richard C Hoagland discuss the possibilities of the intel 'Sam' divulged.

    Richard C. Hoagland is on the Clyde Lewis show right now, hear Richard's take on the event in Sunspot and in just few minutes Clyde is going to replay the 'Sam' call again....the guy who worked for DARPA(in scalar weapons dept.) and has called in with good intel in the past. Links below:

    VULCAN
    ANSWERS IN THE GALACTIC BACKYARD

    MONOLOGUE WRITTEN BY CLYDE LEWIS


    It has been several days since we heard about the National Solar Observatory closure in Sunspot, NM and still I get emails, tweets and messages about any and all follow-up stories about why the FBI black helicopters and SUV’s took over the facility and shut down the area post office.

    There have been many theories, and we had reports on the show including the infamous “Sam” call, telling us that there was some sort of solar plasma extraction that was recorded there and that it would certainly be seen later that weapons like HAARP and programs like HAMMER and SMACC were being used to create mini CME’s in order to force multiply 9 hurricanes.

    It certainly was a compelling report, especially when he said that Hurricane Florence would have a surprise for everyone. Many were saying that the surprise had to be that the storm stalled over the Carolinas.

    However, now it has been reported that a piece of Florence that still remained in the Atlantic is showing signs of becoming yet another Hurricane. There is a 20 percent chance that Florence has given birth to a baby storm, which again would be a rare event.


    I guess we will have to wait and see if this happens, as with any paranormal or strange story – you should never cancel anything or any theory because things can turn at any given moment, making a liar our of you or a prophet.

    Sometimes you just have to chalk it up to synchronicity or coincidence. Estimated guesses are tricky and with weather forecasting, it is always a gamble.

    Meanwhile, there are yet again confounding stories as to why the observatory was shut down.

    The media and the FBI are claiming that a federal search warrant reveals that National Solar Observatory was shut down as FBI agents conducted computer forensic searches for child pornography.

    The source of child pornography was traced to an IP address used at the observatory and a source within the building observed a computer with “not good” images on it, the warrant states.

    An investigation by the FBI revealed that a janitor is the main suspect in the search, however, he has not been charged with a crime even though his name is on the warrant.

    The warrant states the suspect would use the observatory Wi-Fi and a personal laptop to download the child pornography.

    On Sep 12, 2018, the New Mexico State Police found a mystery man who died not too far away from the solar observatory. According to the NPS release, while closing WSNM, park rangers discovered an unattended vehicle in the Alkali Flat Trail parking lot.

    After searching the immediate area, park rangers expanded their search to the Alkali Flat Trail where they discovered an unresponsive man about a half mile from the trailhead between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m., the release states. New Mexico State Police responded to White Sands National Monument, and then confirmed the man was dead upon their arrival.

    There was no report that the man was connected to the investigation.

    When FBI agents told local law enforcement to “standby” after the closure and evacuation of the National Solar Observatory in Sunspot, New Mexico, the Otero County Sheriff was confused and said that he felt hat the FBI was chicken **** in not allowing the police to be involved. This created suspicion in the local area.

    Now the child pornography story is the official story – and people are not buying it.

    Now, all that is left is conspiracy theory and while we still await the verdict on SAM’s call to the show – some recent news stories indicate that the Solar system is not what we think it is and that new revelations about CME’s and hypothetical planets have just arrived in the science news sites.

    Even though the sun is in the least active period of its 11-year cycle, also known as solar minimum, the corona is still vulnerable to “holes” opening up inside the sun’s atmosphere. It seems that the Sun was showing a huge black coronal hole on the day of the closure –and there were observers that claimed they were able to extract images of UFO’s or solar particles larger than the earth heading our way.

    Some even claimed that a planet like or sphere like silhouette was seen crossing in front of the sun before the closure.

    Of course, this started more rumors about Planet X coming to wreak havoc on our little blue planet.

    For the longest time scientists have speculated that the Solar System had an extra planet. For centuries hypothetical planets have been speculated about and the idea that we once lived in a binary solar system.

    The expectation of a rogue planet like Planet X has always been a topic of fringe science and this expectation persisted for many decades despite the fact that NASA has denied that the planet exists.

    Undaunted some of the greatest minds in science have been saying for a long time that a Planet 9 will be seen, which raises the hopes for those that believe that Planet 9 is really Planet X.

    The term Planet X has deep roots in the history of astronomy, dating back to the discovery of Neptune in 1846.

    Some oddities were found in the orbits of Neptune and Uranus that astronomers couldn’t explain. In 1903, Percival Lowell, the astronomer who’d go on to lay the groundwork for Pluto’s discovery, spoke about a possible ninth planet “X” that could be causing those abnormalities. In 1905, he started using the Lowell Observatory to hunt for it.

    Planet X is not a generic reference to some unknown planet, but a specific prediction of Lowell’s which led to the (accidental) discovery of Pluto.

    A study released last May, for example, suggests a rocky object dubbed 2015 BP519 orbits the sun on a bizarrely high and eccentric path. A planet about 10 times the mass of Earth and 20 times farther out than Neptune.

    No one is calling it Planet X, but I truly believe that there is some trickle down disclosure happening where we will have a definite confirmation of Planet X, but in as far as the scientific nomenclature will reveal.

    Having science admit that the planet is actually the mythological Nibiru is probably out of the question.

    Scientists are going rogue, playing in our galactic backyard to find answers about rogue planets and they are even considering naming Pluto a planet again.

    Then if another planet, a tenth planet in our Solar System is discovered the Roman numeral for it will coincidentally X – that is of course, if it truly is a coincidence.

    The simple fact is that Pluto was misclassified when it was first discovered; it was never on the same footing as the other eight worlds. The 2006 move by the IAU to demote it was an incomplete attempt to repair that mistake.

    It is yet another piece of controversy as a shell game is afoot because of possible inclusion of other worlds that they most certainly know about – one of those planets is a hypothetical planet called Vulcan.

    In earlier scientific speculation, this missing planet was predicted to have been even closer to the Sun than Mercury. And despite the lack of any reliable, consistent observational evidence, it remained there until Einstein shot it out of the sky.

    As the other planets were all named for Roman gods, the new planet was fittingly called Vulcan to complete the pantheon. Vulcan was the god of the forge, the metalworker responsible for creating the weapons of the gods (after whom volcanoes take their name). The intense heat of an orbit so close to the Sun makes it an appropriate name. Or it would have, if the planet existed.

    It can be tempting to think of the story of Vulcan as a blunder, a laughable embarrassment in the history of science. Or worse, as evidence that science isn’t all it’s cracked up to be in general.

    There was a shocking study published in the Public Library of Science Journal, that found“ up to 72%” of scientists admitted their colleagues were engaged in “questionable research practices,” and that just over 14% of them were engaged in outright “falsification.”

    This becomes especially concerning when we consider how “science” seems to have replaced organized religion as the new authority that should blindly be obeyed in many ways. People speak of it as if it is infallible, and anyone who questions the high priests of science are generally attacked, degraded, and dismissed as modern day heretics.

    We recently discussed that secularism is being embraced by the younger generations as they want to use science to explain the mysteries of life rather than religion.

    Now even science is being scrutinized as being off in their discoveries and their answers.

    In and of itself, science is obviously inanimate and can do neither good nor bad because it has no mind of its own. It is not a person, so we need to stop talking about science like it is a super hero. It is simply a vehicle that requires a driver, and the destination obviously differs from one driver to the next.

    It also differs from one day to the next, especially when we talk about the solar system and the possibilities of hypothetical planets becoming real planets or real planets coming out or irregular orbits like Planet X.

    For example, Planet Vulcan, which most people are familiar with because it is the home planet to Mr. Spock on Star Trek, became a little more real recently, thanks to some exoplanet research.

    Because “Star Trek” creators eventually associated planet Vulcan with a real star, called 40 Eridani A, scientists have wondered for years whether a factual equivalent of the beloved science fiction planet exists, with or without pointy-eared inhabitants. And now, a team of scientists has said that the star really does host at least one planet.

    Bo Ma, the lead author of the new research and an astronomer at the University of Florida, said in a statement “This star can be seen with the naked eye, unlike the host stars of most of the known planets discovered to date. Now, anyone can see 40 Eridani A on a clear night and be proud to point out Spock’s home.

    That star, located about 16 light-years away from Earth, is also known as HD 26965. It’s a bit orange because it’s a little smaller and cooler than our sun. But it also has some clear similarities to Earth’s star: It’s about the same age and sports a fairly similar sunspot pattern. That’s good news for people hoping for real-life Vulcan residents. Matt Muterspaugh, an astronomer at Tennessee State University and a co-author on the new research said in a statement that “HD 26965 may be an ideal host star for an advanced civilization.”

    Two additional stars accompany HD 26965, and they would be visible from the planet’s surface. The planet itself doesn’t look quite as appealing as the star, because this world seems to orbit a little too close to its sun to be in the habitable zone where liquid water can be retained on the surface. However, scientists are still pinning down precisely what other characteristics determine a planet’s habitability. The newfound planet is about twice the size of Earth, and its year lasts about 42 days.

    The researchers behind the discovery are excited about more than just the “Star Trek” connection, though, they said. The new find is also the first so-called super-Earth discovered by the Dharma Planet Survey, which is designed to hunt down relatively small planets around relatively bright stars.

    Vulcan has been a name given to hypothetical and unknown rogue planets for centuries. It is recorded that a planet that would be similar to Vulcan was orbiting between Mercury and the sun and disturbing the order of the solar system – it in conjunction with Mars passing close to earth was said to bring war famine and pestilence.

    The Babylonians called this “Nebu Uru” an effect of planetary interloping or crossing where the eventual conjunction of planets created a menacing shadow form in the heavens. If it sounds similar to Nibiru – there is no accident since the name Nibiru is Akkadian and also means “crossing place” or “place of transition”, which is connected to the transformation of alchemy or the changing catalyst in our solar system.

    In ancient texts the most threatening planet was Jupiter and so the Nebu Uru or the crossing often pointed to Jupiter as the planet that could have been a new Sun – it was then believed through Saturni cults that Saturn was the dark father or the dead sun.

    Way back in 1940, Chilean astronomer Carlos Munoz Ferrada predicted accurately that the powers-that-be would attempt to cover-up Planet X when it comes barreling towards the Earth. Ferrada referred to Nibiru/Planet X as a “Comet-Planet” because it has the size of a planet but speed and elliptical orbit of a comet.

    In 1976, Zecharia Sitchin wrote a book called, The Twelfth Planet or Nibiru.

    Nibiru in Sumerian tablets referred to an undiscovered 12th Planet or Planet X. Unlike the other planets in our solar system, Nibiru allegedly has an elliptical orbit and moves clockwise rather than counterclockwise. Nibiru’s orbit passes through our solar system only once every 3,600 years.

    On December 31, 1983 A Washington Post article entitled: “Possibly as Large as Jupiter; Mystery Heavenly Body Discovered,” said the following:

    “A heavenly body possibly as large as the giant planet Jupiter and possibly so close to Earth that it would be part of this solar system has been found in the direction of the constellation Orion by an orbiting telescope aboard the U.S. infrared astronomical satellite.

    So mysterious is the object that astronomers do not know if it is a planet, a giant comet, a nearby “protostar” that never got hot enough to become a star, a distant galaxy so young that it is still in the process of forming its first stars or a galaxy so shrouded in dust that none of the light cast by its stars ever gets through.”

    The truth is stranger than fiction as this report was not on the Internet and was actually reported in hard copy to let the world know that someday we would be seeing this planet—or the arrival of the huge celestial body very soon.

    This planet was called Planet X by astronomers.

    “The most fascinating explanation of this mystery body, which is so cold it casts no light and has never been seen by optical telescopes on Earth or in space, is that it is a giant gaseous planet as large as Jupiter and as close to Earth as 50 trillion miles. While that may seem like a great distance in earthbound terms, it is a stone’s throw in cosmological terms, so close in fact that it would be the nearest heavenly body to Earth beyond the outermost planet Pluto.”

    No one spoke of it since — the idea has now long been forgotten except there has always been and always will be the reports of what are called, hypothetical planets.

    In 2012, NASA stated emphatically there was no scientific evidence to support the existence of Nibiru and NASA even released a statement refuting the claims, after the agency was accused of a conspiracy to cover up the Nibiru threat to avoid mass panic.

    While NASA still contends there is no threat from a doomsday planet, there are still other astronomers that are still looking for Nibiru – just as they have for Planet Vulcan.

    Sorry this is posting weird, not sure how to fix.... [[ Mod-edit: I fixed it, removing a couple of formatting ops that made it small and pushed it to the right. Paul. ]]

    EDIT TO ADD: A couple of days ago, Clyde said he was going to be on the Alex Jones show tomorrow Friday...if I had to guess, Alex is probably interested in the intel Clyde has been receiving from this 'Sam' individual, so it might be interesting to listen to.

    Thanks Paul

    As this is partially coming from the Associated Press, perhaps we should "read between the lines". What information may be missing?

    "Dam breach at Duke Energy plant sparks new concerns of contamination in North Carolina
    By Amanda Schmidt, AccuWeather staff writer
    September 22, 2018, 2:23:00 AM EDT

    Quote Prior to Hurricane Florence’s arrival in the Carolinas, concerns were raised about the environmental and health risks of the storm. There was fear that torrential rain may flood power plants, industrial sites or animal-manure lagoons, causing toxic waste to threaten drinking water.

    The storm has passed, leaving areas in its path flooded and devastated.

    Duke Energy said Friday that a dam containing a large lake at Wilmington power plant has been breached by floodwaters from Florence. The company said it’s possible that coal ash from an adjacent dump is flowing into the Cape Fear River, according to the Associated Press.

    This incident is separate from the rupture at a nearby coal ash landfill last weekend.

    Duke spokeswoman Paige Sheehan said Friday to the AP that floodwaters continue to overtop an earthen dike at the north side of Sutton Lake, a 1,100-acre reservoir at the L.V. Sutton Power Station. The floodwater has caused several breaches in the dam on the south end of the lake, which is flowing back into the river.

    Duke Energy said that because of the high water levels in the river from Florence that they do not expect water levels to be affected by the breaches in the dam.

    Environmental assessments are still underway at many of these potential hazardous sites. Environmental activist groups continue to sound the alarm on potential contamination.

    Florence's rain left two dozen hog farms seeping waste, killed 3.4 million chickens and turkeys, caused widespread mandates to boil drinking water and kept workers trying to prevent coal ash waste from leaking out of a landfill, according to the Washington Post.

    North Carolina’s vast hog farms and waste lagoons pose one of the greatest threats.

    The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality said Tuesday that it had received reports of floodwaters inundating or overtopping lagoons at 22 locations, leaving trails of floating excrement.

    Four other lagoons suffered structural damage from floodwaters, the agency said. Fifty-five were at or near their capacity, the Post reports.
    Quote To help prevent a catastrophe, farmers took extraordinary measures in advance of Florence, such as moving thousands of animals out of harm’s way as the hurricane approached.

    “The storm’s impact was felt deeply across a very large region, and the approximately 5,500 swine losses reported by the NCDA&S Emergency Programs and Veterinary Services divisions were the result of all aspects of the storm, including wind damage and flooding,” the North Carolina Pork Council said in a statement on Tuesday, Sept. 18.

    The council does not expect the losses to increase significantly, though floodwaters continue to rise in some locations and circumstances may change.

    “Our farmers are working tirelessly now amid persistent and severe logistical challenges to continue the delivery of feed, to ensure power is operating on farms (as many use wells for water), and to reach the barns to provide proper animal husbandry,” according to the statement.

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said Monday that 16 community water treatment facilities in North Carolina are unable to supply drinking water and that seven publicly owned sewage treatment works are non-operational due to the flooding.

    Utilities that serve more than 600,000 customers issued warnings to boil water before drinking it, according to state regulators in North Carolina.

    Reggie Cheatham, director of the EPA's Office of Emergency Management, said Monday to ABC News that some sewage has been released into the floodwaters through sewer system manholes and a power failure at a water treatment plant in one case.

    Cheatham told reporters some of the untreated sewage had been released into the Neuse and Cape Fear rivers.

    Duke Energy is continuing cleanup operations Tuesday following a weekend breach at a coal ash landfill at its L.V. Sutton Power Station near Wilmington, North Carolina.

    Duke Energy reported Saturday that about 2,000 cubic yards of coal ash, the equivalent of about 180 dump trucks, spilled out of a pond at an inactive power plant.

    An EPA official said the material spilled into a ditch that fed into another pond of water but did not reach the nearby Cape Fear River, ABC News reported.

    Coal ash is a byproduct of burning coal at power plants and contains toxic metals like mercury and arsenic. It can be toxic if it spreads to nearby bodies of water.

    Cindy Garay had an interesting video taken in NC where the owners of a property were explaining how because their county had NOT been declared a disaster area(even though they had water up to their roof!)....they were not eligible for help from FEMA!

    Makes one wonder....are people being purposely driven from certain parts of the country....to what end?!
