As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
I think it was the health ranger on one of his push sites who was talking about electrical blackouts. The information was real and interesting as he mentioned a device only the government has which can knock down drones.
Now, according to an FBI and DHS memo recently reported in the press, in July 2020 a drone made a failed attack on the Pennsylvania electric power grid. The drone, trailing electrical conductors intended to short out high-voltage powerlines at a transformer substation, crashed on a roof before reaching its target.
The perpetrator has not yet been identified.
A similar attack using a small manned airplane blacked out Canada's Hydro-Québec electric grid in 2014. According to The Washington Post:
"Hydro-Quebec, Canada's largest electric utility, was hit with a crippling blackout at the start of the winter. Traffic lights went dark, and more than 188,000 customers lost power, including Montreal's McGill University Health Center. ... Power exports to the Northeast United States were cut. Industrial users were asked to slash production ... " (See "The Power And The Light," 2020.)
Military drones and armed unmanned aerial vehicles are in the process of revolutionizing warfare.
I will get to the first point first in apparently a US company was using a signal jammer that US troops in Iraq were employing to knock down drones. This is the Batelle system or the pretty version as the military version has everything covered.
I started reading about this and came across a link to a PDF site which had all sorts of public information on what the health ranger was speaking of in, well in his version, he was saying some drone was flying down transmission lines zapping them. I personally believe that this would require more than a little drone and would be a government operative engaged in this as I'm at a loss as to why a drone would be necessary to fly down power lines as electricity does travel on it's own.
In any event, the Pennsylvania incident is peculiar as I understand it, a drone and they are not big things these drones, was flying behind it electrical conductors, I think that is a fancy college name for wires, which were supposed to short out a substation.
OK in examining this, high transmission lines are thick. I doubt a drone could carry copper or even aluminum wires or cables thick enough to fly with. If you used smaller wires they would melt. You might get something like s squirrel making the lines go bang which it shorts them out but you do not lose electric power transmission.
The Lame Cherry is not going to assist in the information in this, but there are most rudimentary deconstruction materials out there which would be absolutely effective and not be inadequate like drones trailing little wires. America is probably safe from Darwin idiots because they are always thinking of cobra venom instead of a knock to the head to carry out a mission.
The PDF I was reading was interesting in apparently in Vietnam, thee Americans were tracking at night the electronic signals from motors to follow them with gunships to blow them up. That really makes one uncomfortable in knowing that your car engine, in simply producing electronic spark, can be tracked and destroyed. Here though is a photo of the toys the Air Force has to do this work.
There were models of the systems they were talking about too. The simple version of this is Los Alamos early demonstrated an EMP type microwave or radiowave bomb which was effective and there are variants of that and then there is a kind of EMP gun which works on a different principle. Time for pictures.
These are complicated devices to a point. Again the Lame Cherry in examining this is not to produce a simple device for this effect, as they are indeed out there. and the studies were online back in the day from universities who discussed the operational power of such devices.
The main point being that there are rather simple devices which can neutralize drones. Simple devices which can short out electric power by causing surges and simple devices which do not need to be airborne to be effective.
Variations of this are the Wild Weasel of the Air Force to the combat systems which first appeared on the B 1 Bomber which would absorb enemy radar, and then boost the signal to looking like there were more jets, but in a different place on the map. If you remember the Star Trek episode in those lizard creatures luring the Enterprise to beam own and then attacked them, Spock's tricoder was locked onto and the signal fed back into it, to which it became a bomb an exploded.
That is what the basis of these devices are whether it is electrical lines or drones. a boost of energy either overcharges the line or it neutralized the radio waves. There is a difference though in commerical drones and military drones, just as in communications as one is regulated and one is not.
GPS and radio signals in just the unlicensed industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) bands preferred by UAVs
The point of all of this is, is one should be prepared with candles to see or a generator to get a bulb glowing in your home if someone decides the crypto currencies need a boost in their use in making supplies really short.
It does not matter who will use these tools against you, because they will be used and you will suffer for it. That is the point in this in being prepared. You lock your door for crooks. So prepare to keep your electric on
