As this New Year has rolled in, this winter has proven to be both highly unpredictable and lately, highly dangerous on a number of levels.
Over the past few weeks, the country has seen a nearly unprecendented cold snap, as well as record winter snowfall totals all over the nation, including as far south as Texas and Alabama. Texas in particular has been extremely hard hit by these elements and is currently in a literal deep freeze. Where power, heat and gas are off for millions, even as the temperatures have dipped into the single digits.
Part of government and utility companies solutions for “coping” with these situations is to introduce something that was rolled out not too long ago in California. That being the “Rolling Blackout”. A mechanism that is supposed to “prevent” overloads of power stations by customers in high-demand times. Whether it is during an extreme heat (as was the case when CA first started this) or today, where extreme winter conditions would logically lead to higher electric, gas and other energy usage.
Leaving aside the argument that this might(?) be a logical, “temporary” solution to meet high demand times, or that we have a definite infrastructure problem when it comes to how energy is dispersed to customers and why there are issues with load in the first place, we now have a situation that is perfectly set up for abuse by government and large business entities. That being whenever there are “Extreme” weather conditions, that a “rolling blackout” will be needed and as the parameters for such an occurance are lowered more and more as time goes on, these blackouts will become more and more common and essentially turn into one more societal element of the “New Normal”. Essentially turning large metro areas into 21st century versions of Bucharest and Baghdad, where such power outages were a daily fact of life.
Just as mask mandates, travel restrictions and censoring of free speech have already become ingrained into society over the past 11 months, with some never wanting to or being scared to go back to pre-2020 societal norms, these blackouts can easily be used by governments and corrupt utility boards to control and re-engineer society at most every level.
This can and most likely will, have major impacts on businesses, mainly the small businesses that survived the Scamdemic, at least in part, because this can easily be leveraged against them every bit as much as forcing masks on and limiting the amount of customers that be inside said business at a given time. Death by a Thousand Masks, along with the power to cut the cord can have a fatal impact on such businesses and is a prime factor in the rise of said blackouts.
You can also bet that this will be used as a backdoor way to control energy usage in one’s home, just as “Smart Meters” real purpose are to control a resident’s energy usage by fiat and an iron hand. Regardless of whether said resident actually needs to use said amount of energy for whatever purpose. (technological, medical or whatever) Not that it is any of government’s business in the first place as to what and how much energy a citizen uses. But, the citizenry surrendered that argument long ago.
As with COVID, this is a built-in excuse and Golden Apple Opportunity for government and their many corrupt bribers to exert control over the populace at a very critical level.
Keep your eyes on this situation, as you will see this extending far and wide across the country, especially in Democrat states.
