Yes 'they' are talking about EMP pulse and humans whoping humans with nasty
radiation dis and dat..  But in what we both know isn't 'human' sourced
from the solar flares, they can be FAR WORSE for us all.  I think we both
know about the Carrington Event back when there was only telegraph lines
for data dis and dat.  Monster solar flare event that burned up all the
telegraph railroad lines and so on and killed a pile full of poor humans
that were sending Morse Code at the time!

Well folks here do need to do the research if they have not already.  These
massive solar flares do occur over and over again every say a bit less than
200 years or so.  Every day I look at the website www.spaceweather.com as
it and some others as well monitor all this stuff all the time.  As best I
also understand, likely some time between now and the end of this year or
next year our whole galaxy and is going through a complete reversal of the
magnetic polarity of the whole universe.  The jigger is already very
evident if you are watching things.  In the last nearly three years the
magnetic polarity of our Earth has already moved over 120 miles!  The
current North Pole is just at the north tip of Russia.  The current South
Pole is at the tip of Brazil.  Do the research.  The internal magna of our
Earth is now jiggling at time over 400 miles a night back and forth!  AHA! 
Now you know why all the earthquakes are roaring off in the Ring Of Fire
and all the volcano eruptions and so on are ramping up everywhere.  Plus
the ocean monster wave eruptions and so on.

Look up the effects of the old volcano Krakatoa back in the late 1800's on
Google.  When it blew up it tossed ashes and so on that were all over the
Earth's atmosphere for more than a year!  Cough, cough humanity...  But did
you know that the Yellowstone volcano is about ten times the size of that
mess of Krakatoa?  Plus that the earthquakes under it have already split
the earth so that it can easily erupt in any jiggle?

OK hams.  If all the whole wired and IT operations plus the cloud vanish in
a few seconds or so for us all, who do we have to even help us save all of
what we can for us all?  Well if protected from the EMP surge by a simple
shielding of our ham shack stuff and even battery powered, us ham radio
folks might be the best way, with underground wire power lines and phone
lines plus fiber optic cable, to save all humanity.

No, I don't know exactly the time for what has been carefully predicted for
a long time.  But even after I put together the original EOC for all of the
Texas A&M College area back decades ago so that we could even work with
Morse Code to Australia if we were whopped with an ABomb from Russia, and
ahve the thank you letter from the ARRL, this is why it is so important for
all you folks here to look upward and pray.  I even proved that one watt of
RF Morse Code could work Perth Australia from W5WQN at the right time on
40CW one day from my little boy ham shack here where this message is still
being typed.
