The Night of … 1631
Your Next Staycation Compliments of FEMA
When something fell on the head of Chicken Little she squawked around the farm yard warning that the sky was falling. Very few believed her until she came across a Pig who eventually created the Falling Sky Industrial Complex. As all this was going on, Chicken Little decided to create a podcast. She started out by recording the sky noticing and pointing out threats.
“The sky could fall at any time,” she podcasted.
Her audience grew and she began to have “experts” that talked about the potentiality of the sky falling within 30 days, and then 60 days and then “any minute now.”
These experts explained how the sky was suspended high above and because of the farts of “certain farm animals” that suspension system was being weakened.
Military experts appeared on her podcast emphasizing the strategic importance of a stable sky.
Chicken Little’s podcast and her funding became dependent on the farm population believing that the sky could indeed fall.
Other animals launched podcasts claiming the Chicken Little was a fraud, and that the sky could never fall. They had their experts explain the “science” of sky dynamics and something called gravity.
Chicken Little called them “haterz” and demanded that their podcasts be censored, labeled as dangerous, which they were, and shadow banned, thus limiting the reach of the rival “truther” podcasts.
Other groups emerged claiming to be preparing for the inevitable falling of the sky. They marketed dry food, and precious seeds & grains and even remote survivalist colonies in areas officially (by the brokers) deemed sky fall proof.
And so it went, and so the sky remains aloft.
Meanwhile, in the simulation. There are a good deal of podcasters on the scene whose narrative and projects depend on their followers being scared to death that Armageddon is coming and that You me be rounded up and put into FEMA camps. Or that aliens will invade. Or that fake aliens will invade, round up all the humans and put them into FEMA camps. Or, that the power grid might fail and the US will be dark and the only place with power will be FEMA camps.
Let’s address this power grid thing for a minute.
Back in the day, around the time that air conditioners hit the market, these were a threat to the power grid. I don’t think televisions ever had that threat attached to them, but maybe they did as well… before my time. I didn’t pay much attention for the balance of the 20th century about the power grid. Maybe, when the internet kicked off and everyone started using home computers, there was a “concern” about the power grid.
In 2003, the Eastern seaboard of the United States went dark. I was literally in the air when it happened, traveling from Philly to Miami, for the first time. We landed in Tampa and all the lights were out. “That’s weird,” I thought. Then we flew to Miami. I don’t remember the lights being out in Miami. The lights were also not out in Philadelphia and most, if not all of Pennsylvania. This was credited to an alert employee. The “hero” – which makes the op suspect.
That incident was all that was needed to, 1) convince the intellectual indoctrinated that the grid could go at any time. And the conspiracy theorists that THEY (the gov’mint or other “enemies”) could bring down (we weren’t using the term hacking back then) – the grid at any time.
Reminder – this was 22 years ago. Yuh think maybe they have made some improvements?
So the threat of a power outage, a la 2003 continues to loom and this threat has been used to disparage Bitcoin mining, and now Artificial Intelligence, but not Electric Vehicles. How many E-vees in the US get plugged into residences every night? Maybe I’m just not getting these reports.
There’s a piece of advice that came my way via Zen stories, which basically says, “Don’t argue with idiots.” But also, don’t argue with anyone who thinks they’re right. Just listen and sooner, rather than later, you’ll be able to detect the (usually) main stream propaganda they’ve been consuming. And that’s basically all you need to know.
Personally, I don’t even know what it would take to bring down the power grid. I keep seeing that short scene from the movie “Airplane” when the runway lights go out at a critical moment, and we find some joker has pulled a giant plug out of a wall socket. Ha ha. The way the propagandists talk about it, it’s one big thingamajig that can be disabled by a Russian teenager living in her Babushka’s barn.
Yet on the other hand, the US is the most power full country on the planet, but they cannot secure the power array?
Dahfukouttahere!
We have mentioned in the past that we detect patterns. Bitcoin and AI both have the potential to loosen the financial noose around the necks of Dick & Jane Public, so they must be labeled threats to …. what? What’s handy? They can’t come right out and declare cryptocurrency is a threat to the financialization of everything. And they can’t come out and declare that AI is gonna set you free from … whatever … maybe everything else. (Maybe AI can even design your own cryptocurrency and you can leverage your life away on your own terms.)
Nobody’s buying that it’s a threat to national security. So what do they have in the bag? The power grid? It’s air conditioning all over again isn’t it? Those servers have to be cooled? Isn’t that the narrative?
I’ll tell yuh what though. All of this might be legit. But it might not be too. How would we ever know? The lights can be turned out with a switch. All the meters in my area are connected to the power provider and probably run on AI, which apparently is not too expensive for the power company to use. If the AI says lights out, then Nighty night bunny rabbit.
Don’t be surprised when your power goes off and the AI powered Flix buses come to scoop you off to the FEMA camp.
