An actual salt-free Q&A session from Ben, possibly because there was no big news to report; he says he got up very early and didn't sleep much.
It's a treat to see him so calm...

How Solar Storms Could Emerge as the Next Major Global Risk
Story by Lorand Pottino

The Sun Unleashed Its Fury: The Most Powerful Storm in Two Decades

"Picture this: farmers in the American Midwest watching their GPS-guided tractors suddenly veer off course, acting like they were "possessed." That's exactly what happened during the strongest solar storm in 20 years, which struck Earth in May 2024. On May 10, 2024, the first G5 or "severe" geomagnetic storm in over two decades hit Earth.

Farmers in the American Midwest, at that time at the peak of the planting season, reported their GPS-guided tractors acting like they were "possessed" during the storm, according to accounts. The storm, later named the Gannon storm after space weather scientist Jennifer Gannon, was caused by a massive sunspot cluster that is 17 times the diameter of the Earth.

The outage wreaked havoc across the farming sector, which suffered losses of more than $500 million as a result. This wasn't just a light show in the sky - it was a wake-up call about our vulnerability to space weather.

Solar Cycle 25: The Sun's Unexpected Strength

Scientists originally predicted that Solar Cycle 25 would be relatively weak, similar to its predecessor. The Solar Cycle 25 Prediction Panel predicted in December 2019 that solar cycle 25 will be similar to solar cycle 24, with the preceding solar cycle minimum in April 2020 (± 6 months), and the number of sunspots reaching a (smoothed) maximum of 115 in July 2025 (± 8 months).

But the sun had other plans. While it was initially predicted by most scientists that cycle 25 would be relatively weak, solar activity has been much stronger than the predictions.

However, Solar Cycle 25 has already exceeded the predicted peak, reaching a 13-month smoothed monthly value of 156.7 in August 2024. Solar Cycle 25 likely reached the highest sunspot number yet - a value of at least 299.

It's like expecting a gentle rain and getting a thunderstorm instead.

The Perfect Storm: How Multiple Solar Explosions Merged

What made the May 2024 storm so powerful wasn't just one solar eruption - it was a series of them that merged into a supercharged threat. Among the events, the most significant CME, driven by an X2.2 flare on May 9, caught up with and merged with a preceding slower CME associated with an X-class flare on May 8.

These combined CMEs reached 1 AU simultaneously, resulting in an extreme geomagnetic storm. During May 2024, a barrage of large solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) launched clouds of charged particles and magnetic fields toward Earth, creating the strongest geomagnetic storm at Earth in two decades — and possibly among the strongest displays of auroras on record in the past 500 years.

May 3–May 9, 2024, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory observed 82 notable solar flares. The intensity was staggering - like multiple hurricanes combining forces in space.

GPS Chaos: When Navigation Systems Go Haywire

The impact on GPS systems during the May 2024 storm revealed just how vulnerable our modern technology has become. Location signals beamed to Earth by GPS satellites were off by hundreds of feet during the Gannon Solar Storm in May last year, and the disruption lasted for up to two days in some U.S. regions, a new study has revealed. GPS receivers were off by up to 230 feet during the worst solar storm in 20 years.

The agricultural sector bore the brunt of these disruptions. Agricultural users of John Deere RTK GPS equipment reported significantly degraded positional accuracy during the geomagnetic storm.

As the GPS receivers are used to guide tractors in precision agriculture, certain agricultural workers were forced to suspend planting activities entirely. This wasn't just an inconvenience - it was a multi-billion dollar problem affecting food production at a critical time.

Power Grid Vulnerability: The Trillion-Dollar Threat

Perhaps the most concerning aspect of solar storms is their potential to cripple power grids on a massive scale. A National Academy of Sciences report estimates that a truly disastrous solar storm could cost as much as $2 trillion during its first year alone.

Studies of the United States alone have predicted that a major solar storm would leave tens of millions of people without power, some for weeks, months, or even years. The economic damage would be in the range of trillions of dollars.

Under the study's most extreme blackout scenario, affecting two-thirds of the US population, the daily domestic economic loss could total $41.5 billion plus an additional $7 billion loss through the international supply chain. Think about it - that's more than the GDP of many countries, lost in a single day.

These GICs overload transformers and other electrical components, leading to potential damage or large-scale power outages.

The Thermosphere Response: When Earth's Atmosphere Reacts
©wikimedia
Solar storms don't just affect our technology - they physically change Earth's upper atmosphere. During the May 2024 storm, scientists observed something remarkable: sat-based data captured ~23% thermospheric density drops at 105–110 km altitude post-May 2024 storm, affecting satellite drag according to initial observations.

This cooling effect demonstrates how solar storms can have far-reaching impacts on our planet's atmospheric dynamics. Also, as geomagnetic storms hit Earth, the increase in solar activity causes the atmosphere to expand outward.

This expansion changes the density of the atmosphere where satellites are orbiting. Higher density atmosphere creates drag on a satellite, which slows it down.

And if it isn't maneuvered to a higher orbit, it can fall back to Earth. This atmospheric response creates a cascade of effects that can persist long after the initial storm passes.

The Carrington Event: A Historical Warning
©unsplash
The most disruptive solar storm ever recorded came in 1859. Known as the "Carrington Event," it generated shimmering auroras that were visible as far south as Mexico and Hawaii.

It also fried telegraph systems throughout Europe and North America. On Sept. 1 and 2, 1859, telegraph systems around the world failed catastrophically.

The operators of the telegraphs reported receiving electrical shocks, telegraph paper catching fire, and being able to operate equipment with batteries disconnected. Today, a geomagnetic storm of the same intensity as the Carrington Event would affect far more than telegraph wires and could be catastrophic.

With the ever-growing dependency on electricity and emerging technology, any disruption could lead to trillions of dollars of monetary loss and risk to life dependent on the systems. Estimates for the peak Dst index of the Carrington Event superstorm of 1859 are between −800 nT and −1750 nT.

The scale of such an event today would be unprecedented.

Building Resilience: The Race Against Time
©wikimedia
Recognizing the threat, experts are working on solutions to protect our infrastructure. SWFO-L1 (Space Weather Follow On at Lagrange Point 1 (L1): Scheduled for launch to the Lagrange Point 1 (L1) in 2025, SWFO-L1 will improve NOAA's ability to detect solar storms before they reach Earth, ensuring earlier warnings for industries reliant on precise space weather forecasts.

NOAA's Space Weather Follow On – Lagrange 1 (SWFO-L1) mission and NASA's Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) will both monitor the Sun and provide data to help predict space weather. Both are set to launch in 2025.

The key is early warning and preparation. Thanks to early warnings and strong teamwork, the people who run critical systems like power, farming, and satellites were able to prevent most of the damage from the May 2024 storm.

This proves that being ready isn't just helpful, it's essential. I believe it is critical to continue researching ways to protect electrical systems against the effects of geomagnetic storms, for example by installing devices that can shield vulnerable equipment like transformers and by developing strategies for adjusting grid loads when solar storms are about to hit.

The May 2024 solar storm was a stark reminder that we're living in an increasingly connected world that's vulnerable to the sun's unpredictable behavior. As we become more dependent on technology, the stakes only get higher.

The question isn't whether another major solar storm will hit - it's when, and whether we'll be ready for it. "

Clown World and Catastrophe Livestream
SpaceWeatherNews (S0)
7/7/2025

(Ben has a meltdown in the first 10 minutes of the video due to the recent science news that the pole shift scenario is speeding up, and so he is officially predicting now that the finale will be in the 2030s, not the 2040s.
He also expresses his disillusionment with today's US news and his doubts about Trump; he curses a lot, and vehemently condemns pedophiles to hell (and who can blame him?).
(He says something about "Elon" being due for a visit to Observer Ranch--does anyone know what that is in reference to? He didn't say "Elon Musk", just "Elon"... )

Then he actually takes a couple of drinks (courtesy of Alex Jones) in order to mellow out, saying that he is not a mean drunk, just the opposite, but that he gave up drinking some years ago.
Indeed, the alcohol actually seems to work like a charm because after those first 10 minutes he becomes the affable and charming Ben we have caught glimses of in online interviews with various hosts like Kim Iversen (whom he praises effusively).
That conversation here:

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=gq2xdtMUNY0

I just hope he doesn't have to turn to drink to stay relaxed...

But again, he is the most mellow I have ever seen him, very warm and friendly, even funny, answering lots of questions without complaints.
He even apologized for his saltiness (quite sincerely) and for his lack of PR skills in previous Q&As.
But it also appears that he had a team member diligently fielding the questions for him this time, and no doubt that had a lot to do with the relaxed mood too.
I hope that continues because that has probably been the main missing ingredient all along.

My faith is becoming restored that Ben may very well turn the corner after the recent trials he's been enduring in his personal life.
Now if he just refrains from being too disillusioned by the clown world news... (but then again, that goes for all of us...)

"It's ALL gonna come down"

Posted by onawah (here)
I think Ben's despair and temporary falling off the wagon is quite understandable in view of yesterday's news which he was reacting to.
Which had to do in part with the blatant coverup concerning Jeffrey Epstein that apparently Trump is supporting.
See the thread where Bill posted this:

Posted by Bill Ryan (here)
If this was a movie, Dan Bongino would call a press conference this morning. On live TV, he would state that he had been ordered to lie and that he was resigning with immediate effect. But for legal reasons, he regrets he cannot take any questions or say any more at all.

He'd never have a job in government ever again. But he'd be the citizens' hero, and the whole rotten DC edifice would crumble and fall.

However, Bongino and his family have probably already been threatened. So he's chosen not to be a martyr about this.

Ben Davidson's heartfelt plea can be understood: Bring on the solar flare.

(That will definitely happen, btw. It's all gonna come down. But for that, we'll just have to wait patiently for a few more years. )

I can certainly sympathize with Bill's and Ben's sentiments.

People who want death and want the END to happen fast HATE. They have been battered. REVENGE on the world is excreted like sweat and spit out like phlegm. Compassion for their suffering does not need to warp our own minds. IMO but entitled to my POV.

I will share what makes me mad and want to scream. I see what seems OBVIOUS and others stare blankly. I see SOPHISTICATED< TARGETED< DEADLY weather manipulation that is called "global warming".
I see setting up people to then be OUR "enemy" and to take the brunt of anger (that SHOULD be applied to the ones setting it all up).
I see mind manipulation such that people are too confused to know what end is up (and now its all upside down and backwards and inside out).
I see all these MEN in charge who really do not even like women except for some kind of gratification as young bodies.
I see women who want to be just like these MEN.
I see institutions that exist ONLY to self perpetuate, no maatter what lies, deceit and destruction ensue.
I see people POISONED and unable to do anything because they are IGNORANT of what is happening.
I see a whole WORLD turned against humans and all life by OTHER "people" (maybe not like us) and that NATURE and our very beingness is BLAMED.
Then blaming ourselves and NATURE, we choose death.
This IS a horror show. I could go on.

However, I don't pray for the end of the world. I pray that our eyes will be opened and people will see how it is NOT NATURAL to be where we are now. it was MAN-ufactured. Now I see all these "leaders" and influencers and prognosticators are TOOLS of the deepest hateful adversary IN OUR OWN MINDS.

I don't really depend on a long "LIFE" here but I do depend on gathering all the crumbs of truth and taking them with me.

Nature, LIFE in Including humans are in a hell world here.
SOME beings just lap it all up and we are trained to follow their lead.
WE make it hell.
Those predicting the END becase of the very way events always unfold in MIND FIRST are all TOOLs of EVIL.

If you see EVIL, feel compassion. If that sounds weird, meditate and contemplate what compassion means. I now think it means seeing where in SELF one has ever been in that POV and having the power to flip the MIND.

The 12,000 year solar cycle is not the end of the world, it's just the end of this pardigm.
It's not manmade, it's a natural, cyclic process.
Global warming caused by carbon emissions is just a hoax and has been debunked even in the MSM now, though there is definitely manmade weather manipulation going on.
But solar flares big enough to bring down the whole planet's electric grid are a proven possibility and even the MSM is reporting on that now.
That would be the end of technology in this paradigm, but not the end of life on Earth.
This cycle has happened before many times such as the sinking of Atlantis, and the scientific data of that continues to mount while the dots are being continually connected more and more.

Unprecedented changes are already happening on the other planets in this solar system due to the periodic cycle of the Great Central Sun of this galaxy.
It's just taking longer for it be as noticeable on Earth because of the unique protective layers of magnetic energy and ozone here that are absent on the other planets, but those layers are diminishing now leaving Earth more vulnerable.
None of that is made up, and the mainstream media is reporting more and more about it now too, though the final stage, the micronova and what that will do is still being kept hidden or obfuscated for the most part.
The evidence that science has been predicting is already obvious, though still just in the beginning stages on Earth so far.

But there is no denying the poles are moving and will reverse by sometime in the 2030s according to the latest estimates (sooner than was previously estimated), so more and more energy from the Sun and the cosmos are penetrating the Earth's protective blanket.
The Aurora Borealis is appearing in more and more areas around the world where it never was before, and the Earth's weather is changing, due to natural causes as well as weather manipulation.

Humans and animals are very much affected by these changes.
In animals, behavior and migratory patterns are disrupted; in humans, heart attacks and strokes occur more often and mental and emotional aberrations become more common.
...The latter of which is definitely becoming more and more obvious!
There is no use denying all that evidence.
All those living as the cycle proceeds will have to come to terms with it sooner or later.
Personally, I think that the more time that is spent accepting and preparing psychologically for the coming changes, the less traumatic it will probably be in the long run.
Denial just prolongs the agony.
Death is just one part of the cycle of life and is as much a new beginning as an ending, just as reincarnation is.
In any case, souls don't die, they transmute --the only thing that is permanent is Change.
Some comfort may be found in the talks from psychic Gigi Young, who has made a thorough study of the teachings of Theosophy.
In her latest talk here: https://projectavalon.net/forum4/sho...=1#post1675734
...she goes into what Theosophy has to say about human evolution through the cycles of reincarnation both individually and as a group, and how that manifests in the progression of cycles.

The 12,000 year solar cycle is not the end of the world, it's just the end of this pardigm.
It's not manmade, it's a natural, cyclic process.

Evidence of destruction is certainly linked by many to a natural, cyclic process. However, what if all the catyclysms WERE a result of "war"? Ancient wars that could even destroy a planet? Or perhaps "resets" of ancient AI? These ideas are certainly "available" to think. My intention is to think that there have been iterations of "man kind" who were ALL insane and died and their works became petrified or stood in planes of desert to show "something". You are FREE to think whatever you choose but it will be a story you tie to your experience. That to me is TRUTH.

I will hold up my thoughts to a larger context where we JUST STOP it. We do NOT self destruct again.

[onawah]

The changes that are being seen in this whole region of space and in our solar system are not being caused by wars on Earth.
The evidence from astrophysicists shows that the energy which emanates cyclically from the Great Central Sun at the center of this galaxy is what is causing those changes, as they hit our Sun and other stars on the way here and then onward to the outer edges of the galaxy
That happens periodically, and there are long stretches of time between the cycles which are much more stable.
It can certainly be logically posited that those powerful energies may be partly the cause of wars and other aberrant behaviors, but not vice versa.

If that were so, the inner planets closest to Earth would be the first to be affected, but that is not the case.
It is the outer planets that have been observed to be the first to undergo changes.
And those wars would have to be incredibly destructive, more powerful than supernovas to create any change at all throughout the whole galaxy.
It's just simple logic and proveable, scientific fact, all explained very well in the recent discussion here:

"Now That Is A Coronal Hole. Whoa Momma."

by Tyler Durden
Friday, Jul 11, 2025 - 09:50 PM
Ben Davidson of Space Weather News issued a warning on X overnight about an Earth-facing coronal hole that could eject fast-moving solar wind toward Earth, potentially triggering elevated geomagnetic activity, including auroras and geomagnetic storms. The high-speed stream is expected to reach Earth within days.

"Now THAT is a coronal hole. Whoa momma," Davidson said, adding,"Excess magnitude/volcanic watch is in play now. Solar wind enhancement expected Saturday/Sunday/Monday."

https://x.com/SunWeatherMan/status/1943471228850749810

Solarham, a solar storm monitoring website, warned, "The onset of a coronal hole stream was not expected until within the next few days."

On Thursday, Solarham described the "Coronal Hole to Face Earth" that will begin impact Earth this weekend:

A large coronal hole will begin to face Earth this weekend. A solar wind stream flowing from this zone is expected to reach Earth beginning July 12th with the main influence by July 13/14. It is possible that a geomagnetic storm watch will be issued in the days ahead.



As of Friday morning, Solarham data shows all quiet across the Western Hemisphere.



For context, disturbances in Earth's magnetosphere—triggered by solar activity such as coronal mass ejections (CMEs)—can impact the modern economy in multiple ways, including degrading satellite systems and GPS, disrupting power grids and high-frequency communications, and more.

A Carrington-class storm would be absolutely catastrophic for the world, potentially causing trillions of dollars in economic damage globally.

Washington DC Most Vulnerable US City For Grid Failure During Geomagnetic Storm
by Tyler Durden
Monday, Jul 22, 2024 - 05:55 AM
https://www.zerohedge.com/weather/wa...magnetic-storm

(Hyperlinks in the article not embedded here.)

"We have previously noted the early indicators of the sun's upcoming 11-year solar cycle. Currently, Solar Cycle 25 is at its peak, known as the 'solar maximum,' characterized by intense solar activity such as sunspots, flares, and coronal mass ejections. This results in a significant surge in electromagnetic energy hurtling towards Earth, and now new data shows Washington, DC, is the most vulnerable US city to space weather.

The Royal Astronomical Society reports that researchers at the British Geological Survey (BGS) found that Washington, DC, and Milwaukee are some of the most exposed US cities to space weather. This is particularly problematic during a solar maximum period that will last through 2025 because power grids and ground-based communication devices could be disrupted.

"We have identified certain regions of the US (Washington DC area and Milwaukee) which are repeatedly appearing as 'highly connected' in our network, hence are possibly regions particularly vulnerable to the effects of space weather and may benefit from further monitoring," said Dr. Lauren Orr of BGS.

Dr. Orr said there were "many reasons" the metro areas might be more at risk of the impact of solar storms, including "electrical conductivity of the ground, the physical construction of the power grid in those areas, or the location of the auroral currents in the sky."



She added a caveat that further research is needed to reveal more evidence of why these cities are considered 'supernodes.'

Geomagnetically induced currents from powerful solar storms can disrupt the digital and remote work economy.



We've outlined this in space weather notes over the years:

Digital Economy Disruption Possible As "Terminator Event" Suggests Strongest Sunspot Cycle On Record Imminent
The Next Big Geomagnetic Storm Poses An Astronomical Risk To Modern Man
Solar Storms Can Devastate Entire Civilizations.
Solar Storms Present Danger Of Blackouts For Major East Coast Cities
In early May, one of the most powerful solar storms in years blasted Earth. Fortunately, the digital economy held up, and Starlink's massive satellite constellation also survived.

US Power Grid & Communication Networks Survive Extreme Geomagnetic Storm
Last year, we pointed out that the current solar cycle (Solar Cycle 25) is expected to peak sometime in 2025.

Solar Cycle 25's Maximum Might Arrive Earlier And Hit Harder
And just recently revealed new data about the next solar cycle:

"First Traces" Of Solar Cycle 26 Detected On Sun



Let's remember this executive order signed by Obama in 2016...



The most powerful solar storm to rock Earth in recorded history, the Carrington Event, occurred in September 1859. It sparked fires in telegraph systems across Europe and North America.

The biggest threat to Earth is likely not the narrative radical leftist push about climate change. It's the sun and how one powerful solar storm can take down grids worldwide. "
