The Survivalist’s Odds ‘n Sods

SurvivalBlog presents another edition of The Survivalist’s Odds ‘n Sods— a collection of news bits and pieces that are relevant to the modern survivalist and prepper from “JWR”. Our goal is to educate our readers, to help them to recognize emerging threats, and to be better prepared for both disasters and negative societal trends. You can’t mitigate a risk if you haven’t first identified a risk. Today, we further examine the Solar Storm CME threat.

Andre mentioned this, at SpaceWeather: Huge Farside Explosion. Yet again, we’ve witnessed a large CME that would be devastating, had it been Earth-facing. We are playing Russian Roulette.  Get ready, folks! Here is a  quote from the article:

“Something just exploded on the farside of the sun–and it was big. NASA’s STEREO-A spacecraft recorded a magnificent coronal mass ejection (CME) emerging during the late hours of Feb. 15th.”

A Bad Solar Storm Could Cause an ‘Internet Apocalypse’

Reported by Wired, last August: A Bad Solar Storm Could Cause an ‘Internet Apocalypse’. Here is the opening paragraph of that piece:

Scientists have known for decades that an extreme solar storm, or coronal mass ejection, could damage electrical grids and potentially cause prolonged blackouts. The repercussions would be felt everywhere from global supply chains and transportation to internet and GPS access. Less examined until now, though, is the impact such a solar emission could have on internet infrastructure specifically. New research shows that the failures could be catastrophic, particularly for the undersea cables that underpin the global internet.”

Hemorrhagic Fever?

“The following three interviews, articles, and podcasts about hemorrhagic fever caught my attention over the weekend.

If true then a new china bio-weapon was released during the Winter Olympics in Beijing to ultimately codify mandates into law to help rig the upcoming 2022 midterm elections.
The podcast in reference #3 posits that the purpose of the “quarantine bubble” used in the Beijing Winter Olympics was to infect the people inside the bubble so that they would unwittingly carry the bio-weapon back to their home countries, just like SARS-Cov-2 in late 2019.
