00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:13.480
Calorouga Shark Media.

2
00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:22.640
This is Paranormal Aliens, Episode two, The Carrington Event two

3
00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:28.160
point zero, how solar storms will fry every device you own.

4
00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:40.200
Before we start today, I want you to do something

5
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:45.600
right now. Open up a tab and google Paranormal Aliens.

6
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:54.119
Go ahead, I'll wait. You're back. Good. Now, Look at

7
00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:56.799
what comes up. Look at those search results. I know,

8
00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:02.359
I know, Paranormal Aliens isn't exactly the catchiest podcast name,

9
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:05.599
but that's not the point. The point is what's buried

10
00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:11.000
in those results. The nssay, the National Security Agency is

11
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:14.920
monitoring searches for extraterrestrial content. What does that tell you?

12
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:20.400
Don't answer that, just think about it. You can call

13
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:24.359
me James. And today we're talking about something that's going

14
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:28.599
to make your smartphone look like a paperweight, something that's

15
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:32.920
going to turn your tesla into a very expensive lawn ornament,

16
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:38.519
something that's coming soon. When it hits, the only technology

17
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:41.280
that'll still work is whatever the government has hardened in

18
00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:47.719
their underground bunkers. I'm talking about the Carrington Event two

19
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:52.359
point zero, and unlike the original in eighteen fifty nine,

20
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:56.040
this one isn't going to just knock out telegraph lines.

21
00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:59.840
This one is going to fry every piece of electronics

22
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:03.760
you own, every satellite in orbit, and every power grid

23
00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:08.520
on the planet. The original Carrington event was named after

24
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:13.240
Richard Carrington, a British astronomer who observed a massive solar

25
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:18.360
flare on September one, eighteen fifty nine. What happened next

26
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:25.280
changed everything. Telegraph systems worldwide went haywire. Some operators got

27
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:31.159
electric shocks, telegraph lines sparked and caught fire. But here's

28
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:35.840
the crazy part. Some telegraph systems kept working even after

29
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:40.840
their power was disconnected. The aurora was so powerful it

30
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:46.120
was providing the electricity. People in the Caribbean could read

31
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:50.400
newspapers by the light of the aurora. Gold miners in

32
00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:53.479
the Rocky Mountains woke up thinking it was dawn because

33
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:58.240
the sky was so bright. The electromagnetic pulse was so

34
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:02.039
intense it created a life electrical currents in anything metallic.

35
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:08.360
Now imagine that happening today, not to telegraph wires, but

36
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:13.039
to every circuit board, every processor, every piece of technology

37
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:17.680
that runs our entire civilization. My source at Noah's Space

38
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:21.319
Weather Prediction Center, and this guy has been tracking solar

39
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:25.919
activity for fifteen years. He tells me. We're not just

40
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:31.319
approaching solar maximum. We're approaching the most active solar cycle

41
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:37.199
in recorded history. The sunspot activity we've seen recently, that's nothing.

42
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:42.319
That's the warm up act. Solar cycle twenty five was

43
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:48.479
supposed to be mild. That's what all the official predictions said, quiet, manageable.

44
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:53.199
But they were wrong, dead wrong. Or maybe they're lying,

45
00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:58.120
because what we're seeing now is off the charts. X

46
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:00.879
class flares that should happen maybe once a year are

47
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:05.039
happening every few weeks. The magnetic field lines on the

48
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:10.159
Sun are twisted into configurations that shouldn't be possible. And

49
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:14.280
here's what they're not telling you. The Earth's magnetic field

50
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:19.439
is weakening. It's been weakening for decades. Our natural shield

51
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:22.680
against solar radiation is at its lowest point in over

52
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:27.560
three thousand years. When the next massive coronal mass ejection

53
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:31.639
hits us, we're going to be sitting ducks. But wait,

54
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:37.839
it gets worse. My contact at that aerospace manufacturer you've

55
00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:42.360
definitely heard of, he's been working on satellite hardening for

56
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:47.079
the past five years. Five years they've known this was coming.

57
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:52.000
They've been quietly reinforcing their most critical satellites than the

58
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:58.560
ones that handle GPS and military communications. But your consumer electronics,

59
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:05.360
your car, computer, your phone, they're not hardened against anything.

60
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:10.839
Here's what a modern Carrington event looks like. You wake

61
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:14.959
up one morning and your phone is dead, not the battery,

62
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:20.720
the phone itself fried. Your car won't start because every

63
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:24.160
computer chip under the hood has been cooked. The power

64
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:26.959
grid is down and it's not coming back up because

65
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:31.680
the transformers, those massive custom built transformers that take months

66
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:37.920
to manufacture and replace, they're all blown. ATMs don't work,

67
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:43.360
credit card readers are dead, gas pumps are useless, water

68
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:46.759
treatment plants shut down because their control systems are fried.

69
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:50.839
Hospitals are running on backup generators until those run out

70
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:55.600
of fuel, and then people start dying. And that's just

71
00:05:55.680 --> 00:06:02.279
day one. But first ask you something. Don't you think

72
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:04.639
it's odd how you used to have to travel to

73
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:08.240
Norway to see the Northern Lights and now you just

74
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:13.560
step outside at seven in the evening in early June Aurora,

75
00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:19.000
Australis the Southern Lights were visible across Australia from parts

76
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:24.240
of the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Victoria, South

77
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:31.079
Australia and Tasmania. People in Melbourne suburbs could see them. Australia.

78
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:36.560
That's not supposed to happen. The magnetic field is collapsing

79
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:40.399
faster than they're telling us. The May twenty twenty four

80
00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:44.959
solar storm produced northern lights in all fifty US states

81
00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:50.759
and as far south as the Bahamas. The Bahamas. When

82
00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:54.759
aurora are visible at tropical latitudes, you know we're in trouble.

83
00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:59.680
The eighteen fifty nine event lasted about eighteen hours. A

84
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:04.759
modern Carrington event could last for days, maybe weeks. The

85
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:08.120
coronal mass ejection travels at millions of miles per hour,

86
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:11.759
and when it hits our magnetosphere, it's going to create

87
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:15.800
electrical currents in every piece of conductive material on the planet.

88
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:18.800
My guy at the Department of Energy tells me they've

89
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:24.199
run simulations the economic damage from a major geomagnetic storm

90
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:30.720
two trillion dollars. That's trillion with a T, and that's

91
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:34.199
just in the first year. The recovery time for a

92
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:39.399
full power grid rebuild five to ten years minimum. But

93
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:42.879
here's the part that should really scare you. They're not

94
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:52.199
preparing us for this, They're preparing themselves. Norad is hardened,

95
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:56.720
the Pentagon is hardened. Air Force one is hardened, but

96
00:07:56.839 --> 00:08:01.800
your neighborhood, your house, you're on your own. There's something

97
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:07.439
called the Federal Emergency Management Agency's National Level Exercise. They

98
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:12.360
run disaster scenarios every year to test government response. In

99
00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:18.560
twenty nineteen, they ran a scenario called Crimson Storm. Guess

100
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:22.800
what that was about? A major geomagnetic event that takes

101
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:26.839
down the power grid for months. The results of that

102
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:33.399
exercise are classified classified. Why would they classify the results

103
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:36.840
of a natural disaster simulation unless the outcome was so

104
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:41.519
catastrophic they don't want the public to know. And here's

105
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:45.799
something that'll keep you up at night. My source inside

106
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:50.080
the Federal Aviation Administration tells me they've been quietly updating

107
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:56.080
their emergency protocols for space weather events, new procedures for

108
00:08:56.159 --> 00:09:03.080
grounding every aircraft in US airspace within two hours two hours.

109
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:07.080
They're expecting something so severe they need to get every

110
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:12.480
plane on the ground immediately. The GPS satellites that guide

111
00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:17.679
those planes, they're going to be blind, The communication systems

112
00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:22.639
that coordinate air traffic dead. We're talking about thousands of

113
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:25.799
aircraft falling out of the sky because their navigation and

114
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:30.919
communication systems just stopped working. And speaking of aviation chaos,

115
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:33.639
have you been paying attention to what's happening at our

116
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:37.840
airports right now? The January crash in Washington, d C

117
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:43.679
American Airlines Flight five three four to two, and that

118
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:49.000
black Hawk helicopter over the Potomac sixty seven people dead.

119
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:54.480
But here's what they're not telling you. The NTSB found

120
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:58.879
that between twenty eleven and twenty twenty four, there was

121
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:03.000
at least one close call each month between commercial planes

122
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:09.320
and helicopters around Reagan Airport, one per month for thirteen years.

123
00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:13.960
Then there's Newark air traffic control systems failing, left and

124
00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:19.240
right controllers having heart palpitations, breaking down in tiers, taking

125
00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:22.879
trauma leave because their radar and radio systems keep cutting out.

126
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:29.000
One controller told NBC News and I quote, it is

127
00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:32.039
not a safe situation right now for the flying public.

128
00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:38.240
Don't fly into Newark. Avoid Newark at all costs. These

129
00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:43.960
aren't random equipment failures. This is systematic degradation of our infrastructure,

130
00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:50.759
and it's accelerating. But it's not just transportation, it's everything.

131
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:56.320
Modern cars have dozens of computer chips, your refrigerator has

132
00:10:56.320 --> 00:11:00.879
circuit boards, your garage door opener, your security system, your

133
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:06.000
smart thermostat. All of it is vulnerable. All of it

134
00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:10.440
is going to fail simultaneously when the electromagnetic pulse hits.

135
00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:16.120
And then there's the cascading failures when the power grid

136
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:19.919
goes down. How do you pump gas when the gas

137
00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:24.759
pumps don't work? How do you transport food when you

138
00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:27.759
can't transport food? How do you feed three hundred and

139
00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:33.639
thirty million people when people get hungry? What do you

140
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:38.879
think happens next? The government knows this, They've known it

141
00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:43.799
for years. There are entire agencies dedicated to monitoring space weather,

142
00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:48.639
the Space Weather Prediction Center, the Air Force Weather Agency,

143
00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:53.559
the Naval Space Command. They have billion dollar early warning

144
00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:57.639
systems watching the sun twenty four to seven. But they're

145
00:11:57.679 --> 00:12:02.720
not warning us. They're warning themselves. We'll be right back.

146
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:15.559
Here's what they don't want you to know about the

147
00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:20.600
timing solar maximum. The peak of the current solar cycle

148
00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:25.720
isn't some random event. It follows an eleven year pattern,

149
00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:29.840
and we're approaching the peak right now. But this cycle

150
00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:35.200
is different. This cycle is supercharged. My contact at that

151
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:40.399
government space agency that supposedly just looks at stars, he

152
00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:43.399
tells me they're tracking sun spot regions that are larger

153
00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:48.480
than anything in recorded history, magnetic field configurations that their

154
00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:52.679
models can't explain, energy build ups that are off their

155
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:58.000
prediction charts. There's a sun spot region they've designated AR

156
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:04.240
four seven three nine. Officially it doesn't exist, but this

157
00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:08.120
region is the size of Jupiter and it's pointed directly

158
00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:12.279
at Earth. The magnetic field lines are so twisted and

159
00:13:12.360 --> 00:13:17.759
compressed that when they finally snap, not if when it's

160
00:13:17.799 --> 00:13:21.360
going to release more energy than a billion nuclear weapons.

161
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:24.399
And here's the time line they don't want you to know.

162
00:13:25.799 --> 00:13:29.159
The peak solar activity window opens in the next few

163
00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:34.799
months and stays open for eighteen months. During that window,

164
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:37.960
were one solar burp away from going back to the

165
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:43.240
eighteen hundreds, Except in the eighteen hundreds people knew how

166
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:47.480
to live without electricity. The Amish are going to inherit

167
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:49.720
the earth, and the rest of us are going to

168
00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:54.600
be fighting over canned goods and gasoline. But here's what

169
00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:58.799
really pisses me off. They're not just passively waiting for

170
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:04.600
this to happen. There's evidence they're actually trying to trigger it. HARP,

171
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:10.320
the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program has been beaming

172
00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:15.399
radio waves into the ionosphere for decades. Officially, it's for

173
00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:22.960
atmospheric research. Unofficially, they're poking the bear. My source inside

174
00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:26.919
the program tells me they've been running experiments specifically designed

175
00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:32.039
to test how artificial electromagnetic pulses interact with solar radiation.

176
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:38.519
They're learning how to weaponize space weather, how to aim it,

177
00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:43.799
how to control it. Think about it. What's the perfect weapon?

178
00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:48.240
One that looks completely natural, one that leaves no finger prints,

179
00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:52.679
one that devastates your enemy's infrastructure while leaving yours intact.

180
00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:58.559
If you've prepared properly, and we know they've prepared. The

181
00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:04.519
government has been quietly hardening critical infrastructure for years. Military bases,

182
00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:11.679
government facilities, strategic communications networks. They're all protected. But the

183
00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:17.679
civilian grid, the infrastructure that keeps you alive, that's expendable.

184
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:21.960
When the next Carrington event hits, it won't be an accident,

185
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:26.080
it'll be a field test, and we're the lab rats.

186
00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:30.000
The signs are all there if you know where to look.

187
00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:35.679
The increase in military exercises simulating power grid failures, the

188
00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:40.720
classified updates to continuity of government protocols, the sudden interest

189
00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:47.759
in electromagnetic pulse resilience in defense contracts. They're not preparing

190
00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:52.000
for a natural disaster. They're preparing for an attack, an

191
00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:55.039
attack they're going to launch against their own people, using

192
00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:59.039
the sun as cover. And when your phone dies, when

193
00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:01.759
your car won't start, when the lights go out and

194
00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:05.960
don't come back on, they'll be on every emergency broadcast

195
00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:10.759
system telling you it was a natural solar event and

196
00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:14.720
that they're doing everything they can to restore power. But

197
00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:19.279
the power's not coming back, not for you, not for

198
00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:23.759
your neighborhood, not for anyone who isn't in their protected circle.

199
00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:28.879
The New World Order doesn't need a war, doesn't need

200
00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:33.639
an invasion. It just needs thirteen minutes, the time it

201
00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:36.519
takes for a coronal mass ejection to travel from the

202
00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:42.080
Sun to Earth to reset civilization exactly how they want it.

203
00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:47.120
My lawyers, my safety and my NDA compel me to

204
00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:51.840
tell you this is all parody, None of this is real, right,

205
00:16:53.159 --> 00:17:00.440
Stay paranoid.
