Black nights acomin'
“According to a 1999 Boston Globe article, “Blackout Led to
Weapon that Darkened Serbia”, chaff (strips of metal military planes use to
defend against missile attacks) was dropped mistakenly on a power station in
Southern California. The result – the power station was disabled
and Orange County ’s power supply was disrupted.
This simple technique was turned into a cluster bomb and
used first against Serbia
on May 2nd 1999. F-117A Stealth Fighters dropped these weapons on Serbia power
stations and the lights went out in over 70% of the country. The weapon was
used again 5 days later to hinder Serbia ’s attempt to restore power.
In the opening days of Desert Storm, modified tomahawk
cruise missiles were used against Iraq . The warheads were made up of
bomblets that contained spools of carbon fiber wire. The fine wire shorted out
power plants and disabled 85% of Iraq ’s electrical production
capability.”
“The Central Electricity Generating Board announced last
night that disconnections would increase from 10 percent to 15 per cent from
this morning. The high risk areas will now spend nine hours without electricity.
The industrial effects of the miners' stoppage became graver
yesterday. As the miners presented their case to the Wilberforce inquiry and
the Prime Minister called in both sides of industry for consultations, the
number of workers made idle by the power crisis rose by 50 per cent.”
Never forget that the shithouse that hosts the mokkerphuther of theftengines,
both squaking and counting, has spent most of recent history in lockdown and
rationing, its default position. The current unnatural state of relative plenties will
not continue.
