Darkness Falls
Let's blow this place to kingdom come, let Con Edison take the blame
- Bob Dylan
Things fall apart. Other things are pulled apart. The distinction
means little to those caught in the collapse, but perhaps those of us
who haven't fallen yet may still find a place to stand by discerning
one from the other.
Every week, the world becomes a little more like Godard's Weekend.
We're becoming inured to the degradation of infrastructure, public
institutions and personal ethics. Thousands of New Yorkers are
entering their second week without electricity, and in St Louis a
quarter of a million residents and businesses are not far behind.
Unheard of midnight temperatures of 40 degrees Celsius (103
Fahrenheit) are being recorded. Wires are melting, grids are
stressing and networks are failing. Our increasingly frequent and
violent electrical storms just don't feel right, and don't tell me
different. The global climate is changing more rapidly than even the
gravest recent projections, and temperatures are creeping up towards
creating our own extincition-level conditions. ("If the ambient
temperature is higher than 40C (104F), the human body will eventually
reach 40C unless there is a cooling mechanism. At a sustained body
temperature of 40+C, a human will die.") The planet is already facing
its greatest extinction event in 65 million years: "We're losing life
on Earth and we're losing the diversity of life on Earth," says Dr
Anne Larigauderie. "Everywhere we look, we are losing the fabric of
life." So it may be in death that we at last rejoin the natural realm.
That's not to say this is natural. There are still the unnatural men
of whom Chaplin spoke in The Great Dictator - "machine men, with
machine minds and machine hearts" - who have always been capable and
ammorally fit to attempt to profit by the overthrow of every good
thing. They were never going to leave to chance - to nature - their
place in the new order, if this order is finished.
For what it's worth - and I think the assumption of military
influence falls short of "hard evidence" - there's this to consider:
Last night, July 23, 2006, a violent storm developed and passed over
homes in eastern Richmond, Virginia. Commercial electrical power was
lost from approximately 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 a.m. One home was equipped
with a Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting system mounted in the
ceiling throughout the house. The system includes a 120 watt, 18 volt
@ 7 amp solar panel mounted on the roof feeding into a Charge
Controller regulator and into a bank of wet cell 12 volt batteries.
The LED lighting system was completely isolated from the conventional
electrical system. The LED system in made up of banks of three LEDs
in series. Those three series arrangements are then wired in parallel
with the batteries. All LEDs are designated either 40,000 MCD or
50,000 MCD. Hundreds of other LEDs in the house, but not in this
system, were not effected - we believe because they were not
subjected to the antenna effect found in the lighting system. During
the storm, 46 Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) throughout the house were
burnt and fused together internally and destroyed. It is significant
to know the LEDs were burnt/fused together internally, not burnt open
as you might expect.
The LED lights were turned on and operating in the living room and
kitchen at the time of the event and though considerably more LEDs
were involved fewer were damaged and lost. Many LEDs not destroyed
were noticably weakened and light output reduced. During the latter
part of the storm, in complete darkness outside, an indicator on the
solar cell charge controller indicated electrical current was flowing
from the solar cell panel on the roof into the batteries. Twenty
minutes after the observation it abruptly stopped. It is significant
to realize there was no sun radiation (it was night), but another
type of radiation was hitting the solar panel and the entire system.
We believe this is hard evidence of external military forces
affecting electrical systems and power grids in the United States and
is an indicator of a much larger event against the American people.
Israeli forces are dropping cluster bombs and incendiaries upon
fleeing Lebanese civilians, and under orders to bomb ten buildings in
southern Beirut for every Hezbollah rocket that strikes Haifa. Nafeez
Mosaddeq Ahmed has learned "from a credible and informed source that
a former senior Labour government Minister, who continues to be well-
connected to British military and security officials, confirms that
Britain and the United States 'will go to war with Iran before the
end of the year.'" And with the conscience of a serial killer who
exploits her multiple dead in ritual, the Secretary of State says
that extreme violence signals the "birth pangs" of a "new" Middle East.
While last Friday, Adamo Bove, a lead investigator into the Italian
probe of the rendition of Abu Omar, "apparently jumped to his death."
Also Friday, an unnamed Citibank employee fell to his death at its
Canary Wharf UK headquarters, a "suspected suicide." And the same
day, the chopped-up remains of Opus Dei financier Gianmario Roveraro
were found under a bridge, though "police have made no link" between
the order and his murder, though the last he had been seen alive was
when leaving an Opus Dei meeting. (Roveraro had once said that his
part in Opus Dei was "not concerned with finance -- finance is not
Catholic or masonic, it is just finance.") And freeway snipers have
begun stalking America again before midterm elections, this time in
California and Indiana. (Whether they, too, will be caught "like a
duck in a noose" remains to be seen.)
Beirut is no more a natural disaster than New Orleans continues to
be, where families are now expected to dig their own graves, and no
less a product of deep politics than the Pearl Harbor of Lower
Manhattan. When cities become ruins, when they go dark and lose the
capacity to provide for their people, it's usually on account of
choice. It's because someone, an enemy within or without, wants to
shoot out the lights and drive a soft urban populace into despair and
barbarism. (Military recruitment hit a 30-year low in the mid-90s,
and now, as the US economy sharply worsens for those near the bottom
and their options further narrow, recruitment soars. But which is
more to be desired by the rulers of this new, hard age: economic
opportunities for the most poor or more bodies for its Army of
Darkness?)
If it looks like social engineering, maybe it is.
