Let’s talk about…the Spain/Portugal blackout

As usually those outages are resulting from elements of bad, money saving design and systemic errors not as much phantom atmospheric phenomenon. Solar and wind energy generators are an intermittent sources of power while most of world’s grids were designed at least 100 years ago and rely specifically on rock solid stability of generation and ability to quickly cut power or increase it in reactive or predictive and predictable ways.

Steam/gas turbine generators were best designed for stability of old grid if designed adequately.

In fact outages frequency is increasing in all countries when intermittent energy sources reach above 50% of total power generation. In Hawaii ten years ago solar power generations increased much over 50% while power grid became unstable so the only remedy that worked was to stop promoting solar energy drop incentives and reactivate all oil burning power stations to provide grid stability.

In California leading green state at this time still about 50% of power comes from nonrenewable sources like gas turbines or imports from Mexico maintaining relative stability of the grid for at least two decades. That’s seems to be the limit unless grid is completely redesigned for XXI century, generation is localized and hence outages are localized preventing grid cascading, propagating instability.

More distractions and more chaotic media cycle events for the chattel to absorb.
Days b4 Spain suspended arms shipments to Israel. Hence l’elefante in camera. The elephant in the room. INstantly the whole media blogosphere in western europe started the narrative. RUIARUSSIA cyber attack. U don’t say. Iran port blows up.
PUNTO UNO: India and Pakistan are basically on a knife’s edge. THat aforementioned event and geo location has significant rice production on both sides of the border (concidenza) coincidence. I say not another source of food and significant food production for that area possibly being removed in the grand food equation.
PUNTO DUE:Ukraine publicly states it will bomb Red Square . Russia bad Ukraine good.
THe mainstream media are still playing that Pax Americana is mediating a peace deal between 2 waring slav parties. “This is a proxy war against Russia ” HEGSETH MINISTER OF WAR.
PUNTO TRE; Every so called parliament of WEstern Europe are debating about how to steal 800 billion euros from the general populace and most all are suggesting taxing savings (code word for bank bail in) .
PUNTO QUATTRO: The Chinese ar closing factories as we speak and container levels are growing in major Chinese ports. Since circa mid April to date exports have been stopped in China and exports out of china are down circa 60%. From now on this will effect most major chain stores but initially it will effect small supply companies first and multinational companies the likes of Cargil and Unilever will absorb the lack of supply and start sacking Joe sixpack and Karen the soccer mom. This will have the same economic effect that the lockdowns had during the Covid psy=op.
PUNTO CINQUE> more small businesses will go under Banks are already making moves to foreclose small business owners throughout the western sphere.
POST SCRIPTUM; Economic ruination will increase for the remainder of the year.
DOCIUS IN FONDO; England has started to normalize chemtrails .
Nufin 2 se look over there while we starve u and rob u over hear.

Probably either plain official incompetence or a failure of technology. The media always cover up for both factors (hence also the almost complete silence about ‘covid’ these days). What you can be completely sure about these powercuts is that the theories prominently touted in the mainstream media will be false or mostly false, and the real reasons will not be barely mentioned.

Spain has gravely angered both the US and Israel. Not Portugal, though just being so close to Spain put it also in harm’s way.

Awhile back, right after Spain refused to allow ships carrying weapons to Israel to dock at its port(s), there was a deluge and flooding in parts of Spain. Now comes a massive grid failure. Both incidents have Uncle Sam’s fingerprints all over them.

In yet another coincidence, Spain rejected an arms deal with Israel a few days before this event.

Reposting my comment from yesterday on the Carney article:

Spain 28/04/25
Power, mobile signal (no calls OR data) and most petrol stations simultaneously shut down at almost exactly 12:30 pm.
When questioned, staff at petrol stations said they had no information and that pumps could not operate without “central authorisation”. Local police claimed there was a fault at some power station somewhere that caused a nation-wide blackout.
Only some smaller company petrol stations were operating. (GALP was one). The government declared yet another state of emergency and claimed the military was ready for action “after requests by local authorities”. In other words, the people asked for martial law according to the Spanish narrative.
Most sheep in Spain seem to accept this as another freak accident. The number of casualties and economic destruction is again unknown.
Perpetual Crisis capitalism in the EU is the new normal and the UK seems set to follow along a similar but more “managed” path.

meanwhile: at least most people have a torch!

Gotta assume that like most other Western nations the Spanish electricity grid is mostly privately owned.

There’s no profit in regular maintenance in a private system.
Things only get fixed or replaced when they break.

Aren’t we lucky?

Was there.

Have some evidence the disabling of telecoms was preplanned.

One provider seemed to jump the gun in my area and was 24 hours early shutting down.

BBC provided fear porn thoughout.

A completely planned event.

A contrived situation about normalising panic and/or a test run to see how people would respond ( I love and work in central Madrid and it was certainly nothing close to the “carnage” reported by British mainstream media – in fact quite the opposite, both in terms of traffic and pedestrian courtesy and patience particularly at intersections, a relaxed bemused congeniality on the streets between strangers and neighbours and officials.
And yes, expect to see more power outages in the future; smart meters on all gas radiators in apartments began being rolled out over a year ago so very possibly electric smart meters will be next.
