Bibi very unhappy about US plans to build a military base in Gaza. Payback - we'll knock down your bridge.

Payback for the recent attack on the Moscow theatre organised by the usual western suspects?

Also, NATO (ie US) has been trying, unsuccessfully, to destroy the Kerch Strait bridge in Crimea for over two years,  Perhaps the US should have left the Crimean bridge and the Nordstream alone?

A planned event for sure ..... "Investigators said a series of as many as 16 falsified distress calls were transmitted over VHF channel 16 beginning on Feb. 17.   U.S. Coast Guard investigators are seeking the public's help to identify a voice in apparent hoax calls.   The calls are believed to have originated from the Strawberry Point area in Baltimore and consist of an individual calling out for help with no location or description of their vessel or nature of distress."

So the Coast Guard will not act or be slow to act when the real event is staged.

Baltimore Bridge - build back better - BB BBB  666   The globo's idea of a joke?

I love your work and new credo Truth over Tribe. Just wondering if you have checked into a different theory on this tragedy by Lara Logan...another trusted and knowledgeable truth seeker. Keep it up...i always wait with bated breath for whatever you share.

Fortunately it was very early morning so not much traffic and the ship sent out a may day that closed the bridge quickly.

EMP attack on the ship's electric circuitry? Not a difficult thing to pull off from a satellite, is it?

That's not very likely. Ocean vessels like that are rather rugged, including their electronics. Sometimes stuff just happens.

Rugged? You mean you have never heard about this?

"Some would say it is a low probability, but the damage that

could be caused in the event of an EMP attack both by the sun,

a solar event, or a man-made attack would be catastrophic. We

talk a lot about a nuclear bomb in Manhattan, and we talk about

a cybersecurity threat, the grid, power grid, in the Northeast,

and all these things would actually probably pale in comparison

to the devastation that an EMP attack could perpetrate on

Americans." ~ https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CHRG-113hhrg89763/html/CHRG-113hhrg89763.htm

EMP: electromagnetic pulse. The key here is "pulse". In engineering / mathematical terms a pulse is called a delta function, roughly defined as an event said to be infinitely narrow, and infinitely high. The material in the congressional document that you reference doesn't contain much that applies here. In reality, depending where you live, you've been involved in many EMP attacks - they're called lighting. The power grid problems that you reference were software related not EMP. When a real EMP attack (lighting) hits power lines, the damage is limited by heavy duty circuit breakers. A nuclear bomb will certainly have EMP properties, but I'm pretty sure that's not caused the ship's systems to fail.

When I said the ships are rugged I mean things like this: The power plants are 50,000 HP diesel engines that turn generators that power motors that turn the screws. The wires that carry this much power are huge, a direct lightning strike would be required to damage them.

Near by lightning strikes can damage semi-conductor electronics. This usually is caused by a pulse induced into the local power lines and getting to the device's power supplies. That's why surge suppressors are recommended for home electronics. The critical electronics in the commercial freighters are heavily protected by shielding and heavy duty surge suppressors because they are designed to withstand things like lightning strikes.

The notion of an EMP attack from a satellite is star wars stuff. The reasons are simple. The satellite's system would need to be able to essentially cast lightning bolts from orbit. The amount of energy required is staggering, nuclear bomb size staggering. Worse yet, all that energy has to be focused on an area small enough so the energy density is large enough to be damaging.

We need to be afraid of atom bombs and DEI trained programmers.

Wouldn't a laser do the same thing? Star Wars stuff is going on all over the world igniting fires which conveniently burn people out of desirable property... Star Wars is not so far off as you might imagine.

Good Question. Everything you're asking about involves energy being delivered to a target, remotely, via electromagnetic radiation. The key issues are: total energy involved, energy density, wavelength (frequency or frequency range), and time concentration. EMP and laser have properties almost opposite of each other. EMP involves energy very concentrated in time, and frequency spread broadly (the inside joke is the frequency range of a pulse is from DC to light. I know, engineer's humor is different). Laser, on the other hand, involves coherent light, that is, electromagnetic energy concentrated at one frequency (wavelength), totally in phase, with a flat wave-front, which means it's concentrated in a small area at the point of delivery. (kind of like using a magnifying glass to focus sunlight into a pinpoint size to light a piece of paper on fire.) The energy, however, is not concentrated in time.

The source of an EMP event needs to be somewhat close to the target to have much effect. Think about lightning. A strike 20 miles away does no damage, a strike 20 feet away can be deadly. As I said before, the damage is done by its energy being induced into electrical conductors that will then destroy delicate electronic devices (integrated circuits, etc.)

With a laser, the damage is done by delivering a large amount of energy concentrated at a small spot, at a wavelength such that the target will absorb the energy. ( A laser beam hitting a shiny surface will be reflected and deliver no energy). Given the fundamental principle of the conservation of energy, the amount of energy available at the source has to be mammoth to be able to deliver damaging energy at the target. The notion of a laser from a satellite doing damage is virtually impossible. First, a satellite can't store the quantity of energy required, certainly not in a form that can be quickly released. Second, the laser beam will lose a large portion of it's energy to atmospheric gasses, particles, moisture, etc. Third, the beam must remain precisely focused on the exact target spot long enough to transfer the amount of energy required to do damage. And of course, the only damage that it can do is burning or melting a small spot on the target's surface. Unlike movie fiction, the laser doesn't hit like a projectile with mass that causes ruptures, explosions, and other mechanical damage. It just can make a small spot very, very hot.

I hope that helps.

With regard to the Baltimore ship, the current best hypotheses is contaminated fuel.

PS. Regarding the fires, laser combustion is wildly impractical. Instead of lugging expensive equipment around, and taking the time to set it up, just light a match. The fires most certainly are being started by people, misusing campfires, carelessness, or arson, or lightning (your EMP application), or failed power lines.

Would that explain the intensely black smoke that it was belching before the crash?

That's an interesting article but doesn't address more fundamental issues. All of the western countries, especially the US and Canada, rely on highly integrated, complex systems and sub-systems. These systems are incredible, but the complexity also makes the whole thing fragile, very fragile. The Canadian truckers played chicken with the State. The State won. Had they realized their power, and simply turned their trucks off, the fragility of the system would have been revealed. A week or so of no trucks would have gotten Ottawa's attention. Our systems are fragile.

Also, while I am no huge Ayn Rand fan, I have read Atlas Shrugged. Some of the extreme forms of DEI result in what Ayn Rand might call 'Atlas demoralized and kicked out'. The results to a safely and efficiently run society would be similar.

I 100% agree, our complex systems are fragile. The totally foreseeable coming competence crisis created by DEI is only a part of the story. But as you say, there are countless single points of failure. I recall in the 1990s when JIT was all the rage, and I railed against it, it being the latest MBA management fad - JIT DID add a few % points of efficiency on supply chain ops, but at a huge cost of wasted energy and robustness. We saw that play our in real time during Covid.
