Power outage in Spain, Portugal and other countries of southern Europe

The Space Weather News YouTube channel correlated data from SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory), with the event, and think it was caused by a solar flare which seeped in through the weak magnetic field.
In the yesterday's live one ? I haven't finished listening to it, he refers to it in the first minutes, but he doesn't show images of that data, at 9:06 mentions: "there is one little pressure cell just northwest of Portugal but the entirely of the Europe mainland, high pressure. One of the strongest high pressure cells in the world, which is downward the electric current, dead over the North Atlantic, that's exactly where the flap. I'm sitting at here looking at this. This is exactly where the flash took place on the total electron content. I'm sorry you can't see what I'm looking at. You're just looking at me, that's got to be real annoying. I'm sorry about that. But OK, I can see it went right down into the high pressure cell, curved along with global electric circuit lateral, forcing by the low pressure cell right next to it, and directly into Portugal, Spain, and France. And as it wraps around low pressure cell, that's northwestern France, isn't it?"

I've been following Ben Davison for a long time, but now it seems to me that he needed to correlate and as we say around here, he seems to have pulled it out of his sleeve.

He needs to show that data.
 
Just recording that Portuguese grid company's statement about a "rare atmospheric phenomenon" here for posterity:


What I find peculiar about it is that it was published within 1-2 hours of the blackout commencing.

By the evening, the statement had apparently been retracted.

It's such a specific thing to say, which makes it stand out against all the other official statements thus far about how the authorities still have "no idea" what caused it...
 
And there was one in Greenland too, albeit partial:


As far as I saw this morning, they were trying to link to to Spain, but they couldn't even be sure?

Sabotage a bit all over the place? Or natural causes?
And today, April 29th, an electrical substation caught fire in London, England:

 
And there was one in Greenland too, albeit partial:

Sabotage a bit all over the place? Or natural causes?
The link to Spain - specifically, the Canary Islands - is the following (from Reuters):

Telecom services have been restored to remote communities in Greenland that were cut off from crucial satellite access due to a massive power blackout in far-away Spain, the Arctic island's telecoms group said on Tuesday.

Tusass, owned by Greenland's government, said on Monday that it had lost connection to satellite equipment based in Spain that provides telephone, internet, TV and radio services.

"It's because of an error some 3,000 km (1,900 miles) away," a Tusass spokesperson told Reuters, adding that connection had been restored overnight.

In 2023, Tusass selected the Maspalomas ground station in Spain's Gran Canaria island off the west coast of Africa as the hub for its new satellite network which provides a critical lifeline for some of Greenland's most isolated communities.

Spain and Portugal switched their power back on Tuesday after the worst blackout in their history, though authorities offered little explanation for what had caused it or how they would prevent it from happening again.
Here's the thing though: the Canaries are NOT connected to the power grid of the Spanish mainland!

The transmission grid also includes special infrastructure for the islands: the Balearic Islands are linked to mainland Spain via undersea HVDC cables, while the Canary Islands, Ceuta, and Melilla operate as isolated mini-grids with their own local generation.

It's a different electrical system, but not as far as banks are concerned. The banks are connected to the system on the peninsula, in Madrid, or elsewhere in the country. So that's why yesterday, people in the Canary Islands couldn't use their cards to pay with the digital euro. And the ATMs were blocked.:scared:

So, "solar flare" affected the banks on Canary Islands, but not the separated, local power grid? Very choosy solar flare, hate banks.

The central servers of the banks in Spain were down, which is why banking and ATMs did not work on the Canary Islands either.

As far as the reason for the blackout, a natural phenomenon (including a possible 4D bleedthrough) seems just as likely as an attack by Mossad. Either one of these possibilities being exacerbated or made worse by the transition to a more unstable "green" power grid.
 

Technical Mechanism: Induced Atmospheric Vibrations and Power Lines​

1. Vortex-Induced Vibrations (VIV) and Power Lines
  • When there are rapid and extreme temperature changes in the atmosphere, they can cause strong and turbulent wind flows.
  • These wind flows can interact with overhead power lines, which are essentially long, cylindrical conductors suspended in air.
  • As wind passes across these cables, it can create alternating low-pressure zones on either side of the cable, leading to the formation and periodic shedding of vortices - a phenomenon known as vortex shedding.
  • The alternating forces from these vortices can induce oscillatory motion in the cables, known as vortex-induced vibrations (VIV).
  • VIV is well-studied in engineering, especially for underwater cables and risers, but the same principles apply to overhead electrical lines exposed to atmospheric flows.

What I find peculiar about it is that it was published within 1-2 hours of the blackout commencing.

By the evening, the statement had apparently been retracted.

It's such a specific thing to say, which makes it stand out against all the other official statements thus far about how the authorities still have "no idea" what caused it...

On the subject of “induced atmospheric variations,” I found some interesting investigation on that in this YouTube video:


Essentially the author said that the term “induced atmospheric variation” is pretty much unheard of in the scientific literature until the day of the blackouts. I haven’t checked myself yet but it struck me as quite odd.

The author is a CO2 blamer, and is trying to blame atmospheric electrification on the increase in 5G as well as the water generated by widespread combustion, but with nods to electrical weather as well. So take him with a grain of salt and just one data point.

I am leaning more towards the sabotage idea.

A few years ago there was a power outage in the UK after there was one in Argentina and I think the answer was the CIA, I wonder if something similar is at play here:

You would think that the Eurocrats would chill at the bit to use any kind of grid integrity disruptions to frame Russia and foment more discord and confusion on that front. Perhaps they didn’t because of the Israeli angle to it? Russia would NOT just leave that accusation unanswered, and calls for proof and so on may draw too much attention to electronic infiltration and compromising of this infrastructure by the deeper intelligence community of the Five Eyes and Mossad.

That Greenland piece is curious, and it leaves the door open a crack. Could be plausible deniability, but who knows.
 
I wouldn’t disregard the idea of focused beans weapons from satellites, that could explain some professionals thinking on atmospheric phenomena causing the issue, but one become suspicious after reading things like this:


I mean, there are a lot of reasons to look into atmospheric aberrations or solar flares too, of course. But secret government also have created earthquakes, fires and manipulated hurricanes using powerful tech. So, it would not be surprising to me if that was the case.

Yeah, it's probable that as far back as the 30's Mussolini had an EM weapon that could stall all the engines of cars in a given area. From Keel's The Eighth Tower:
In the spring of 1936, farmers outside Rome, Italy, complained to the authorities that somebody was killing their sheep. The animals were found scattered among the scrubby hills, their bodies unmarked. Autopsies failed to disclose the cause of their deaths. Even in muddy fields there were no footprints or other clues. They seemed to have simply fallen over and died without a struggle, without reason.

That June, Benito Mussolini’s wife planned to drive to Ostia, a few kilometers outside of Rome. At breakfast on the morning of her trip, the Italian dictator winked at her mischievously. “I wouldn’t be surprised if you had a very unusual experience today,” he said cryptically.

A puzzled Rachel Mussolini got into her limousine and rode off. A few miles beyond the city limits her chauffeur encountered an unexpected traffic jam. Cars were backed up for miles. Cursing, gesticulating drivers were opening the hoods of their cars and studying their suddenly sullen engines.

“What’s happening here?” Madame Mussolini demanded.

“It looks as if everyone is breaking down at once,” her driver began. “I—”

His own motor coughed and died. He coasted to the edge of the road.

“I can’t understand why.”

Several minutes passed. Then, just as suddenly, all the stalled autos roared to life again. There was a universal shrugging of shoulders as the fuming drivers got back into their vehicles and continued to Ostia.

The incident was widely noted in the press at the time. And at the close of World War II the Italian press revived the story, adding that the multiple automobile stallings had been caused by sinister secret experiments conducted by none other than Guglielmo Marconi, one of the great geniuses of the twentieth century. He had been working on a “death ray” for Mussolini, the papers claimed, and when he refused to turn the finished product over to the dictator in 1937, he met with a sudden death.

[...]

For years, I viewed the seemingly nonsensical Sunday supplement stories about Marconi with skepticism, even cynicism. But now I must eat crow—a recurring dish at my table, alas—for a large part of this ridiculous story is true.

Marconi was a short, slender, austere man with pointed, ascetic features and the eyes of a dreamer. Born in 1874, he was world famous at the age of 23 and had received the Nobel Prize and many other honors by the time he was 35.

We knew virtually nothing about electromagnetic propagation when Marconi began his first wireless experiments in the 1890s. Those early efforts were confined to what are called long waves. Today we know that the electromagnetic spectrum is made up of many frequencies stretching from very low frequencies (VLF), composed of very long radio waves, to the very tiny pulses or short waves (called “shortwaves”) of gamma rays and cosmic rays at the other end of the spectrum. About halfway along this spectrum there is the frequency which produces visible light. We can only see a minute portion of the entire spectrum. Shortwaves were unknown for years, as were the even shorter microwaves.»


[...]


Benito Mussolini rose to power in 1922, but Marconi was cautious in accepting and endorsing the noisy little Socialist who somehow managed to make the trains run on time. He waited three years before he responded to il Duce’s overtures. By 1935,

«Marconi was regarded as one of Italy’s (and humanity’s) greatest men. He was fundamentally apolitical, a man of science with a great moral conscience. When he began his work with the radar effect, he informed Mussolini of his project. Impressed and enthused and undoubtedly realizing the military value, Mussolini summoned his aides and announced: “Give this man anything he wants. Anything. If he wants the whole Italian navy to maneuver for him, order it.”

Marconi’s requests were more modest. He asked for military planes to fly back and forth over his laboratory outside of Rome while he tried to bounce microwave beams off them.

During his early experiments in 1935-36, he made a horrifying discovery. His microwaves were apparently killing animals near his laboratory. The local farmers were naturally perturbed, and rumors spread that the great inventor was indulging in black magic.

Mussolini was, of course, delighted. Marconi had invented a “death ray,” something every dictator could use. Keep working on it, he ordered.


But Marconi was not in the death-ray business. This was just an unfortunate side effect of microwaves. He saw radar as a means of saving ships, planes, lives. So he returned his primitive apparatus. If microwaves were dangerous, then perhaps he should shift his attention to the other end of the spectrum, the very low frequencies, and see if VLF waves could be used. This led to another startling discovery. While ultrahigh frequencies (UHF) bounced off metallic objects, VLF waves penetrated and affected electrical devices, overloaded circuits, and caused machines like generators and electric motors to freeze. In short, the waves stalled automobiles. Diesel engines, on the other hand, were immune to the VLF effect because they did not depend on electrical ignition.

We can only imagine Mussolini’s reaction when Marconi told him the bad news of another “failure.” VLF was no good because it wouldn’t bounce back; it would only stall engines. The dictator probably turned handsprings. Not only had his inventor stumbled onto a death ray, now he had found a way to paralyze enemy machines!
 
Are we still heading for net zero and ready to abandon fossil fuels? This is how the grid was restarted in Spain.
This is really hilarious, considering that it was gas that came in to the rescue of a situation that without it, would have been 100 times worse. I know that Spain has been purchasing Russian gas at record speeds, albeit through third parties, but it goes to highlight once again how necessary Russia is to Western Europe.
 
The central servers of the banks in Spain were down, which is why banking and ATMs did not work on the Canary Islands either.

As far as the reason for the blackout, a natural phenomenon (including a possible 4D bleedthrough) seems just as likely as an attack by Mossad. Either one of these possibilities being exacerbated or made worse by the transition to a more unstable "green" power grid.
Or the Canary Islands just was shielded by not being connected to the mainland power grid. And possibly not operated through internet. So that there were no open ways to atack it.
 
It's likely that in the next few days we'll learn more about the cause(s) of this major breakdown. On the other hand, there seems to be a lot of concordance with Israel and/or a bleeding 4D. And this reminds me of the C's quote from the March 9, 2024 session:

Q: (Joe) So the program change then is something other than the work or the machinations of the overt political elite in the West?

A: Yes

Q: (L) Is it 4D STS?

A: Yes

Q: (Joe) What is it, Laura? What is it then?

(Niall) A space threat?

A: Watch the skies and land and oceans.
Right now, in my little corner of Quebec, Canada, we're experiencing some major temperature turbulence. On Sunday, we had snow with a temperature of 0°C to 1°C, then on Monday, the mercury rose to 20°C, continuing until today (Tuesday) with a temperature of around 28°C, dropping to 3°C overnight. Usually, in our spring season, the average temperature should be around 5° to 15°. But this week, with such a big difference in temperatures in just a few days, there's a lot of instability and high winds and storms. And at the time of writing (9:42 p.m.), nearly 130,000 homes are without power, equivalent to 453 power outages. AAACulture-3.png

Of course, this outage we're experiencing will be resolved in a few hours. We often have power failures, and for the most part we've gotten used to them. Which reminded me of something we experienced in Quebec, when I read this quote from:
It's fortunate it didn't happen during winter and I would expect that these situations will become the norm in the west. Random power outages for hours or days are already common in most 'underdeveloped' countries (aka most of the world). It seems like Europe is joining the list too, if this wasn't sabotage from our favorite spook agencies.
It was in 1998, a catastrophic event that we now call “La crise du Verglas” (The ice storm). It happened from January 5 to 10, when freezing rain fell for a total of 80 hours, leaving a layer of 50 to 100 millimeters of ice on all structures. This also affected the northern states of New York, Vermont and New Hamphisre, as well as much of Maine.

In Quebec, nearly 1,000,000 homes were without power for several days, depending on the region. In my town, for example, we were without power for 3 days, while in other places, due to the destruction of several electricity pylons, some people were without power for almost 1 month.

I think the children made the most of the power outage. This is what my 10-year-old niece wrote on a blackboard I have at home, which made me feel terrible:

“The power was out all day today, and I really liked it because we spent the whole day without screens, and my uncle Josué made a puzzle with me and my mom, who didn't have to work, and it made me very happy.”

At first, my young children (3) thought it was fun to play with Mom and Dad and sleep all 5 in the same bed to keep warm. But after the 2nd day, this started to become more difficult and less fun, especially warming up as best we could (since it was winter) and managing to get warm food to eat. Following this experience, I promised myself that one day we'd have another house with a nice wood-burning stove to keep us warm and cook our food. That's what I've had since 2020, and I'm very happy to be ready for the next blackout. 😉


Yeah, it's probable that as far back as the 30's Mussolini had an EM weapon that could stall all the engines of cars in a given area. From Keel's The Eighth Tower: ... ...

He had been working on a “death ray” for Mussolini, the papers claimed, and when he refused to turn the finished product over to the dictator in 1937, he met with a sudden death.

Thanks for sharing as I didn't know this person and what he did. So, I wanted to learn more about this Marconi and here's what was written in Wikipedia. And what's more, having lived in the same Nikola Tesla period, there was also litigation concerning patents belonging to Tesla, as quoted:
In his lecture he stated: "I reclaim the honour of being the first fascist in the field of radiotelegraphy, the first who acknowledged the utility of joining the electric rays in a bundle, as Mussolini was the first in the political field who acknowledged the necessity of merging all the healthy energies of the country into a bundle, for the greater greatness of Italy". Not one Jew was allowed to join the Royal Academy during Marconi's tenure as president from 1930, three years before Adolf Hitler took power in Germany and eight years before Benito Mussolini's race laws brought his regime's antisemitism into the open.
In 1943, the Supreme Court of the United States handed down a decision on Marconi's radio patents restoring some of the prior patents of Oliver Lodge, John Stone Stone, and Nikola Tesla. The decision was not about Marconi's original radio patents and the court declared that their decision had no bearing on Marconi's claim as the first to achieve radio transmission, just that since Marconi's claim to certain patents was questionable, he could not claim infringement on those same patents. There are claims the high court was trying to nullify a World War I claim against the United States government by the Marconi Company via simply restoring the non-Marconi prior patent


Propablement que d'ici quelques jour, nous allons en apprendre davantages sur la ou les causes de cette panne majeur. Par contre, il semble qu'il y ai beaucoup de concordance avec Israël et/ou un saignement du 4D. Et ceci me fait penser à la citation des C's de la session du 9 mars 2024:
Q : (Joe) Donc ce changement de programme est bien différent de l'œuvre ou des machinations de l'élite politique de l'Occident ?

R : Oui.

Q : (L) Est-ce d’origine 4D SDS ?

R : Oui.

Q : (Joe) De quoi s'agit-il, Laura ? Qu'est-ce que c'est ?

(Niall) Une menace venue de l'espace ?

R : Surveillez les cieux, la terre et les océans.

Justement, présentement, dans mon petit coin du Québec au Canada, nous vivons de grandes turbulences de températures où nous avons eu dimanche de la neige avec une température de 0 °celcius à 1 °, ensuite le lundi, le mercure à monter à 20 ° pour continuer jusqu'à aujourd'hui (mardi) avec une température avoisinant 28 ° et qui descendra cette nuit à 3 °. Habituellement, dans notre saison printanière, la température moyenne devrait être autour de 5 ° a 15 °. Mais, cette semaine avec cette grande différence des températures en quelques jours, ceci fait beaucoup d'instabillité et des gros vents ainsi que des tempêtes. Et à l'heure où je vous écris (21h42 du soir), il y a près de 130 000 domiciles qui sont sans électricité ce qui équivaut à 453 pannes réseaux électriques. AAACulture-3.png
Bien sûr, cette panne que nous vivons va se résoudre dans quelques heures. Nous avons souvent des pannes électriques et pour la plupart nous nous sommes habitués. Ce qui m'a fait pensé à un événement que nous avions vécu au Québec, lorsque j'ai lu cette citation de:
It's fortunate it didn't happen during winter and I would expect that these situations will become the norm in the west. Random power outages for hours or days are already common in most 'underdeveloped' countries (aka most of the world). It seems like Europe is joining the list too, if this wasn't sabotage from our favorite spook agencies.
Traduite en français: Il est heureux que cela ne se soit pas produit pendant l'hiver et je m'attends à ce que ces situations deviennent la norme dans les pays occidentaux. Les coupures de courant aléatoires pendant des heures ou des jours sont déjà courantes dans la plupart des pays « sous-développés » (c'est-à-dire la majeure partie du monde). Il semble que l'Europe rejoigne également la liste, s'il ne s'agit pas d'un sabotage de la part de nos agences d'espionnage préférées.

C'était en 1998, un événement catastrophique que nous appelons aujourd'hui "La crise du Verglas". Ceci s'est passé du 5 au 10 janvier 1998, où la pluie verglaçante est tombée pendant 80 heures au total, laissant une couche de 50 à 100 millimètres de verglas sur toutes les structures. Ceci a aussi affecté le Nord des États de New York, du Vermont et du New Hamphisre, ainsi qu'une bonne partie du Maine.

Au Québec, c'était près de 1 000 000 de domiciles sans électricités qui a duré plusieurs jours, dépendant de la région. Exemple dans ma ville, nous avons été sans électricité pendant 3 jours, alors qu'à d'autres endroits dû à la destruction de plusieurs pylônes électriques, certains ont été sans électricité près de 1 mois.

I think the children made the most of the power outage. This is what my 10-year-old niece wrote on a blackboard I have at home, which made me feel terrible:

“The power was out all day today, and I really liked it because we spent the whole day without screens, and my uncle Josué made a puzzle with me and my mom, who didn't have to work, and it made me very happy.”
Traduction en français: Je pense que les enfants ont bien profité de la coupure de courant. Voici ce que ma nièce de 10 ans a écrit sur un tableau noir que j'ai à la maison et qui m'a vraiment fait mal :
« Aujourd'hui, il n'y a pas eu d'électricité toute la journée et j'ai beaucoup aimé cela parce que nous avons passé toute la journée sans écran, et mon oncle Josué a fait un puzzle avec moi et ma mère, qui n'a pas eu à travailler, et cela m'a fait très plaisir. »

Au début, mes jeunes enfants (3) trouvaient ça drôle, soit de jouer avec maman et papa et de pouvoir dormir tous les 5 dans le même lit pour se garder au chaud. Mais après la 2ième journée, ceci commença à être plus difficile et moins drôle, surtout pour se réchauffer du mieux qu'on pouvait (puisque nous étions en hiver) et réussir à avoir des aliments chauds pour se nourrir. Suite à cette expérience, je me suis promis qu'un jour, nous aurions une autre maison avec une belle cuisinière au bois de un pour nous réchauffer et aussi pour permettre de faire cuire nos aliments. C'est ce que j'ai depuis l'année 2020 et je suis très heureuse de pouvoir être prêt au prochain "black out".😉

Traduction en français: Il est probable que, dès les années 30, Mussolini disposait d'une arme électromagnétique capable de faire caler tous les moteurs des voitures dans une zone donnée. Extrait de The Eighth Tower de Keel : ... « ... L'incident a été largement commenté dans la presse de l'époque. À la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la presse italienne relança l'histoire, ajoutant que les multiples blocages de voitures avaient été provoqués par de sinistres expériences secrètes menées par nul autre que Guglielmo Marconi, l'un des plus grands génies du XXe siècle. Il travaillait sur un « rayon de la mort » pour Mussolini, affirmaient les journaux, et lorsqu'il refusa de remettre le produit fini au dictateur en 1937, il mourut subitement ».

Merci pour le partage puisque je ne connaissais pas cette personne et ce qu'il a fait. Donc, j'ai voulu en apprendre davantage sur ce Marconi et voici ce qui était écrit dans Wikipedia. Et en plus, ayant vécu dans la même période de Nikola Tesla, il a aussi volé des brevets à ce dernier, tel que cité:
En 1930, il est nommé à la tête de l'Académie royale d'Italie par Mussolini, dont, membre du Grand Conseil du fascisme, il est un fidèle soutien. Il déclara par ailleurs : « Je revendique l'honneur d'avoir été le premier fasciste en radiotélégraphie, le premier à reconnaître l'utilité de réunir en faisceau les rayons électriques, comme Mussolini a reconnu le premier dans le domaine politique la nécessité de réunir en faisceau les énergies saines du pays pour la grandeur de l'Italie ». Et dans le Wikipedia anglophone, nous retrouvons cette information additionnelle: ... Not one Jew was allowed to join the Royal Academy during Marconi's tenure as president from 1930, three years before Adolf Hitler took power in Germany and eight years before Benito Mussolini's race laws brought his regime's antisemetisme into the open.

À partir de 1897, l'Office américain des brevets lui délivre une trentaine de brevets sur la télégraphie sans fil (wireless telegraphy) et la radio. Nikola Tesla entreprend une action en justice à son encontre, lui reprochant d'avoir illégalement utilisé 17 de ses brevets.
 
A few years ago there was a power outage in the UK after there was one in Argentina and I think the answer was the CIA, I wonder if something similar is at play here:

There's also this from the 17th August 2003 session:

Q: (L) We're screwed! What caused the black out (in New York area)

A: 4D bleed-through. That's why it was more or less pronounced to be "natural"

{Group comments that this is in fact "natural", so TPTB were not lying, for once.}

It could be either way, I suppose. At the moment, my instinct leans more towards 4D or some cosmic or climate phenomenon, given that the whole country was affected, that the authorities seemed genuinely clueless ("15 gigawatts vanished in 5 seconds, go figure!"), and that there were some other minor blackouts elsewhere as mentioned on this thread (UK, Greenland, Austria).
