These psychopaths are going to turn the internet off.

Lol!
Quite possible that they play out this play book
I'm saying this for years. They will detonate nuclear bombs in the upper atmosphere and fry the backbones, then blame the sun
My understanding is that the prime risk of a solar flare is to the grid. It would be unlikely (impossible?) for a solar flare to leave the grid and just take out the internet. The article mentions the threat to the grid deeper in the article but implies the threat is mainly to the internet. 🤷♂️
Yes, I’m worried about this too. It’s fragile. There are a few key choke points. Probably wouldn’t take it completely offline, but make it severely congested. I think it’s more likely for them to blame anonymous hackers (and not a solar flare). Then they’ll claim we need to sign in with a government ID to access the internet so hackers can never secretly take it down again.
Yeh, the article was poorly written, but nostr:npub1kry7hrdh9xgc2l5vyt3aahlyh53g0mrz9ykq8uh20cy5mpue4fusjhshf3 seems to have gotten exactly the opposite meaning from it some how.
Also I hate when scientists talk about 'magnetic re-connection.' It's a completely useless metaphor, since everyone knows magnetic field lines are imaginary.
My BS detector is going off the scale. There are these solar winds that can destroy our electronic systems from 93 million miles away - but they built a spacecraft that can fly right through up to where they emanate from, and through, and send back data from the other side? Cool story.
I think this will be the coverstory they use for a man made intervention
