    Default Carrington-Class Event: “The World Escaped an EMP Catastrophe 2 weeks ago"

    http://www.activistpost.com/2013/08/...aped.html#more

    Two weeks ago, had the sun spot that emitted the Carrington-like flare been directed just a few degrees in our direction, we’d be living in a different world today. Likewise, ten years ago, the earth took a glancing blow.

    According to researchers at EMPact America, an organization dedicated to studying and preparing for the possibility of large-scale electro magnetic pulse threats that can destroy our modern day electrical infrastructure, the earth came dangerously close to a serious destabilization event. A couple of weeks ago the sun emitted a massive CME (Coronal Mass Ejection) that, had it been earth-directed, would likely have wiped out critical portions of the world’s power grid and sent developed nations back to the stone age within a matter of seconds.

    ‘The world escaped an EMP catastrophe,’ Henry Cooper, who now heads High Frontier, a group pushing for missile defence, told Washington Secrets.

    ‘There had been a near miss about two weeks ago, a Carrington-class coronal mass ejection crossed the orbit of the Earth and basically just missed us,’ added Peter Vincent Pry, who served on the Congressional EMP Threat Commission.

    ‘Basically this is a Russian roulette thing,’ he said. ‘We narrowly escape from a Carrington-class disaster.’ Washington Examiner

    It was a “Carrington-Class” event, named after the 1859 incident that left telegraphs around the world inoperable and reportedly even lit some of the equipment on fire because of the electric surge.

    Believe me we have dodged many bullets and its due to help from different off world races here to help us. Without there help we would have been wiped out by now.

    I follow spaceweather.com daily and was surprised to find that they didn't report the large coronal hole over the sun's north pole. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/0...n_3667894.html

    Not sure what that indicates other than I need to find an alternative site for back up data.

    This video by suspicious observers might explain the coronal hole story.



    And here is the video conference stating of this disastrous "near miss".

    Straight from the horses mouth AKA (CIA). That should tell you something.

    You were not hearing things, I listened to that episode this morning, George was indeed repeating the news story. I'm sure he did not know it wasn't true either.

    That mention of a "near miss" is from former Ambassador Henry "Hank" Cooper between the 0:23:55 and 0:24:23 marks:
    Quote As I understand it, and I meant to look this up after last week's discussion, we had a near miss of a solar emission within the last several months, which went by us in the orbit, that if it had hit us would have been bigger than the Canadian event by far, and from what Michael said would have been the size of the Carrington event in 1859.
    Note he said "within the last several months", not in the last couple of weeks.

    Sidney, thanks for this video. It tells me three things :

    1) It’s all Bradley Manning’s fault! And Tesla's for creating an AC grid with only a few large nodes!


    2) There is a low-tech threat to the US electricity grid, and North Korea for instance could attack for instance with a satellite coming from the south pole. No need for an ICBM.


    3) People got briefly worried about protecting their civilian infrastructure only twice: after Pearl Harbor and after 9/11 (interesting to hear the two coming up in the same sentence and for the same reason). Implied: this is going to be the third time.


    My conclusion is that releasing this material on the Internet might well be an attempt to create the same fears as after Pearl Harbor and 9/11 without the need for a false-flag event – call it a low-tech false flag if you will. In this version of events, the sun’s action in creating an EMP (electromagnetic pulse) fades into insignificance compared with the threat from North Korea. The obvious question then is, if we are to worry about the Sun, and still more about North Korea, then why has this low-tech security threat not already materialized?Answer, because no one is buying into it.

    ‘The world escaped an EMP catastrophe,’ Henry Cooper, who now heads High Frontier, a group pushing for missile defence, told Washington Secrets.

    ‘There had been a near miss about two weeks ago, a Carrington-class coronal mass ejection crossed the orbit of the Earth and basically just missed us,’ added Peter Vincent Pry, who served on the Congressional EMP Threat Commission.

    ‘Basically this is a Russian roulette thing,’ he said. ‘We narrowly escape from a Carrington-class disaster.’
    As others have noted, this report originated with the Washington Examiner story Massive solar flare narrowly misses Earth, EMP disaster barely avoided, which, as you quote via the EMP Threat Panel Assembles 2 Weeks After Near Miss (Activist Post) reposting of the story, claimed that both Henry Cooper and Peter Vincent Pry claimed that there had been a near miss major EMP event.

    I have now listened to every word that Peter Vincent Pry stated in that entire 1 hour and 14 minute session EMP Thread to US Electrical Grid (Youtube) meeting.

    Peter Vincent Pry says no such thing. The Washington Examiner story is simply wrong on the most basic fact - posting a video of a session with claimed quotes from that session that were not made, in any way shape or form that I can discern. If someone can find any such quotes of Pry on that video, please post the details (where on the recording) and I will gladly eat any hat I might be wearing (fortunately, I don't wear hats.)

    As I have reported in Post #10 above, in detail, Henry Cooper did claim we missed a major solar emission within the last two months. This meeting was on July 29, 2013, so he would have meant sometime in the last couple of months prior to then.

    My, my , my.... are we to believe that this has not been occurring since the beginning of time itself??? Are we to believe that we have been missed of have had near misses for billions of years??? Are we that intent on something of this nature or any other real or unimagined event to happen that would bring destruction upon humanity??? Why are we so quick to buy into the B.S.??? I will again apologize in advance if I offend anyone with this post. Once again, here we are assuming that those that lie, misinform and mislead us are on the cutting edge of this hidden knowledge that we are not being told or aware of. We are so quick to jump right in as though we "KNOW" it to be true.

    This beautiful planet has been around for billions of years. With the sun right at our door step to make us rise from our slumber and put us in a state of peace when it appears to set. Gaia has been here all along with all of this crude oil in her belly, molten lava in her pit and methane gas in her intestines; again, for billions of years. Yet we are to assume that we can destroy or kill her with our pesky little selves.

    Folks, it is time to stop dying and begin living. We are growing more and more stale and stagnant by the minute, hour and day as we continue to spew that which we already know. Instead, let us be born again! Let us begin to make this world in the image and likeness we pretend to be. Then and only then will we begin to transform this world and make this heaven on earth.

    I mean, are they sneaking another Bill through, taking away more of our constitutional rights?? Are there any important Bills about to pass? Sometimes what may seem a subtle thing, later ends up being huge, where we have that ah ha moment like "so that's why all the distractions".

    This could be pointing to some kind of internet control. Look at the timing. With Bradly Manning, and Edward Snowden, suddenly an Alqueda threat has the Embassies closing for a day (or more). And, the announcement of UKs internet censorship, and now this near miss, which perhaps could be code for, some sort of hacking, and NOT a spewing of the suns energy. (I am only speculating here). Just going over the possibilities.


    Also from the Washington examiner.

    Energy secretary: Cyber attack, not EMP, is biggest threat to electric grid


    Newly-installed Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz said Thursday that the threat of a cyber attack shutting down the U.S. electric grid is the biggest worry of the Obama administration, not an electromagnetic pulse like the one the Earth barely avoided two weeks ago.

    "What I have to say is that the whole set of issues that could disrupt the grid are ones that we do look at. But our biggest focus, not surprisingly, is on cyber security in terms of disruption of the grid," Moniz told Secrets during a media breakfast hosted by the Christian Science Monitor.

    Moniz added that the administration's spending focus is on preventing a cyber attack, not an EMP event despite pressure from a new coalition headed by former CIA Director James Woolsey and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

    Sign Up for the Paul Bedard newsletter!
    They have been urging the White House and Congress to fortify the electric grid, especially the 2,000-3,000 transformers around the country, in special metal boxes that would protect them from either an EMP event or nuclear attack in the atmosphere that could destroy the grid and shut down electricity to the nation.

    Moniz said "I'm always concerned about a nuclear bomb," but it's not his top fear. "The EMP issue is one that, you know, we are looking at clearly, and it is no secret that there has been been from geomagnetic disturbances one already sees implications for operations," he added in noting that the administration isn't shrugging off concerns.

    But he said that cyber attacks are by far the biggest focus of the administration and "it will be an elevated focus as we go forward." He noted that the Energy Department is taking it so seriously that he created a cyber council to plan ways to thwart an attack.

    Woolsey and other members of the EMP Coalition told Secrets this week that the Earth barely missed a disastrous solar flare that crossed the planet's orbit two weeks ago. He and others said it was so large that had the Earth been in the way, a electricity in an area the size of North America and Europe would have been knocked out.
