An EMP attack on Dallas tomorow has been seen by a remote viewer at least we dont have to wait long

Well then, I stand corrected.

If we have as illustrious a source as a "Remote Viewer" then it MUST be true. My condolences, Dallas. Uh...do you think they will be back on their feet for the Cowboy's season opener? Just askin'

So much for the battery backup and auxilliary power generators for the few hundred servers I help manage in Dallas.
Imagine all that infrastructure and after an EMP, all the computers will be able to do is talk to themselves. Vested interest in all of this being poopycock.

Bobs- Texas is the only state with its own power grid. I'm not an electrician but I suppose it is possible that emp-ing Texas might not affect the electrical grids of other states.

Why would the US government EMP its own infrastructure. Collapsing the grid in Texas, would take out the entire US and probably Canada. Seems like a pretty huge claim that they are going to do this and of course huge claims, require huge proof.

Oh and BTW, don't feel stupid, most people have no clue what's going on. At least your ahead of the game a bit by reading ATS (just don't take everything at face value, do your own research).

Bingo! Give that man a cigar!
Just recently I heard a fellow who is in the know on the electrical grid say that very thing, that Texas had its grid separate from the rest of the US. Seems as though several sites in Mexico even depend on Texas power.
As for why would the US government decide to knock down the electrical grid? Money!
Imagine the contracts to put it back up again---and make it "green"---get rid of those nasty coal-fired plants by changing them over to whatever new scheme somebody in government's brother-in-law is selling this week.
Imagine the contracts to harden the system! That effort must go nationwide of course, because Texas will show what a mess it is when the grid is hit by an EMP.
I could go on and on, thinking like a soul-less government official or banker and finding reasons for this to happen. What I don't see is any way on earth that anyone could do anything about it to prevent it happening. So it's not really a source of worry to me.

Yeah, I really did find it interesting that most of Texas has it's own grid.

Why does the Lone Star State have its own power grid? Partly because of a historical desire for self-sufficiency and partly because of that famous "Don't Mess With Texas!" attitude. The majority of the state's residents live within the region regulated by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, an "island" that generates and supplies all its own electricity—unlike, say, New York City or Detroit, whose residents found out the hard way that lots of their power comes from Canada.

Why Texas has its own power grid

And here's an image of the different grids in Texas. You can see most of it is on the one grid.

I just heard about an explosion in Texas, somewhere between San Antonio and Austin, of unknown origin, as of yet?
Can anyone confirm this?

My mind just somehow went to this thread- though yes I know an EMP would most likely not be felt as an explosion, being far up.... I guess I vaguely had a thought that this guy who made the claim could have been a wack job with delusions, who could be just as capable of having done something to cause an explosion in his whole fantasy about doom on this day.....??

Found this:

A pipeline explosion sparked a large fire in Cuero, Texas, on Sunday evening, 14 June, prompting evacuations of nearby residents.

The Victoria Advocate reported that the flames were as high as a nearby water tower.

Texas pipeline explosion sparks huge blaze

Edit to add:



I tried pulling up the article on the Victoria Advocate. That was actually the first search result. I'm browsing on mobile, so the website went all wonky on me, so that's how I wound up with Telegraph.

Reported as a possible pipeline in DeWitt County.

Jade Helm sponsored EMP in Texas .....It's an interesting story but......

Anyway, here's the story. Dale is in Austin Tx. waiting in line at a retail store. A peculiar guy walks up him and asks if Dale is in the military and if he's heard of Jade Helm. Dale says he's not in the military, but has heard of Jade Helm . The man who approached Dale is in the military and has gone awol after he got his current orders....says there is going to be an EMP attack on Texas, tomorrow the 15th, and he's trying to warn anyone who'll listen. Apparently this EMP attack will kick- start Jade Helm for real.
There's a video with this story with an interview with Dale. I know this is a lot of hearsay to swallow at one time, but I like false flags being tied in with EMP's and Jade Helm !

You guys been EMP'd yet?

a reply to: EA006

No response in nearly an hour. Logic says that the OP is still asleep. So.... Texas EMP attack confirmed due to lack of early morning response! Clearly it happened during the night while everyone was asleep!

a reply to: cmdrkeenkid

Ha! If we don't get any replies from the Texan members we know why then, sneaky military....doing things at night...

On RSOE it says-

A huge explosion has rocked a small town in Texas, with towering flames visible for more than 30km. Initial reports suggested the blaze was sparked by a pipeline rupture just outside the town of Cuero at 8.30pm local time (11.30am today AEST). Power supplier Devon Energy later said the explosion was not on one of their oil pipelines at their plant in the region. Locals said the blaze shook homes and lit up the night sky. "It looks like daylight out there," Roger Zimmerman told local newspaper the Victoria Advocate. "It was a big boom, and it shook the house." Texas Department of Transportation officials are at the scene but have not confirmed the cause of the blaze, which is in a rural area. It is not yet known if anyone was injured in the explosion. Cuero is situated in between Houston and San Antonio and is south-east of Austin.

On the computer now, so I got The Victoria Advocate to load. The issue was having to complete a survey in order to view the site.

CUERO - An explosion in rural DeWitt County shook nearby homes and illuminated the horizon Sunday night, worrying residents of what might be on fire.

DeWitt County Sheriff Jode Zavesky said an Energy Transfer pipeline containing natural gas ruptured about 8:15 p.m. off Farm-to-Market Road 953.

At the time of the explosion, the flames shot up to about 100 feet in the air, Zavesky said.

Zavesky said the pipeline has been shut off, and about an hour after the explosion, flames diminished to about 20 to 25 feet.

The flames are expected to burn for hours until the residual gas is out of the pipeline, Zavesky said.

About seven homes were evacuated, and many residents will be able to return to their homes Monday, Zavesky said.

Pipeline ruptures; about 7 homes evacuated

What kind of kool-aid are you drinking ?? I live in Wisconsin. So, I read an article at Mad Patriots and wrote a thread on it. I never made a claim, but I did title the thread DOOM PORN, so maybe you'd have a clue how I thought about the substance of the thread. Or maybe you're talking about Dale Stewart, the guy living in Austin who spoke with this AWOL soldier supposedly. Now Dale, in your deluded mind, set off an explosion to fulfill his Texas EMP fantasy. If you're not a sci-fi author, you should be.

a reply to: cofusedaboutevrything

Ummm, no. Not all. I honestly believe there are some seriously disturbed folks in the military, who joined just for the chance to kill. And as far as that goes, there are hardened soldiers who will follow what ever orders they are given. They will be brainwashed in to believing they are doing what's best for the country and may have a few qualms, but they will do what they're told.

Central Texas checking in here. All is fine, no prob . . . so far. And wow, about the natural gas pipeline outside Victoria! Most of the wells around there are owned by a very few extremely wealthy Texas families, very eccentric families. Lol, one day maybe I will start a thread of their stories. I'd change their names, of course.

You still have about 16.5 hours left in the day!

doom porn predictions by Jihadists of IS;;;; this is snips taken from an 'The Atlantic' magazine...

...
But other parts are based on mainstream Sunni sources and appear all over the Islamic State’s propaganda.

These include the belief that there will be only 12 legitimate caliphs, and Baghdadi is the eighth; that the armies of Rome will mass to meet the armies of Islam in northern Syria; and that Islam’s final showdown with an anti-Messiah will occur in Jerusalem after a period of renewed Islamic conquest.

The Islamic State has attached great importance to the Syrian city of Dabiq, near Aleppo. It named its propaganda magazine after the town, and celebrated madly when (at great cost) it conquered Dabiq’s strategically unimportant plains.
It is here, the Prophet reportedly said, that the armies of Rome will set up their camp. The armies of Islam will meet them, and Dabiq will be Rome’s Waterloo or its Antietam.

“Dabiq is basically all farmland,” one Islamic State supporter recently tweeted. “You could imagine large battles taking place there.” The Islamic State’s propagandists drool with anticipation of this event, and constantly imply that it will come soon. The state’s magazine quotes Zarqawi as saying, “The spark has been lit here in Iraq, and its heat will continue to intensify … until it burns the crusader armies in Dabiq.”...The Islamic State’s propagandists drool with anticipation of this event, and constantly imply that it will come soon.

A recent propaganda video shows clips from Hollywood war movies set in medieval times—perhaps because many of the prophecies specify that the armies will be on horseback or carrying ancient weapons.

Now that it has taken Dabiq, the Islamic State awaits the arrival of an enemy army there, whose defeat will initiate the countdown to the apocalypse. Western media frequently miss references to Dabiq in the Islamic State’s videos, and focus instead on lurid scenes of beheading. “Here we are, burying the first American crusader in Dabiq, eagerly waiting for the remainder of your armies to arrive,

The Prophetic narration that foretells the Dabiq battle refers to the enemy as Rome. Who “Rome” is, now that the pope has no army, remains a matter of debate. But Cerantonio makes a case that Rome meant the Eastern Roman empire, which had its capital in what is now Istanbul.

We should think of Rome as the Republic of Turkey—the same republic that ended the last self-identified caliphate, 90 years ago. Other Islamic State sources suggest that Rome might mean any infidel army, and the Americans will do nicely

After its battle in Dabiq, Cerantonio said, the caliphate will expand and sack Istanbul. Some believe it will then cover the entire Earth, but Cerantonio suggested its tide may never reach beyond the Bosporus. An anti-Messiah, known in Muslim apocalyptic literature as Dajjal, will come from the Khorasan region of eastern Iran and kill a vast number of the caliphate’s fighters, until just 5,000 remain, cornered in Jerusalem.

Just as Dajjal prepares to finish them off, Jesus—the second-most-revered prophet in Islam—will return to Earth, spear Dajjal, and lead the Muslims to victory.

“Only God knows” whether the Islamic State’s armies are the ones foretold, Cerantonio said. But he is hopeful. “The Prophet said that one sign of the imminent arrival of the End of Days is that people will for a long while stop talking about the End of Days,” he said. “If you go to the mosques now, you’ll find the preachers are silent about this subject.” On this theory, even setbacks dealt to the Islamic State mean nothing, since God has preordained the near-destruction of his people anyway. The Islamic State has its best and worst days ahead of it.

wow, thats a lot to condense or consider...and (in my case) to try to mesh with Biblical prophecies..if possible...Jesus saving the last 5,000 Jihadists from slaughter by the anti-christ armies of East Persia/Iran

Oh, an odd stanger told a friend of a pending attack in TX? How much more evidence do we need people !?! THIS IS IT !

Hilarious. You guys in Texas - just keep worrying about a mysterious govenment 'take-over'. Good thing you have nothing else to worry about down there, huh?

I'll remember the pre-Jade Helm Texas fondly, ( or humorously ).

any news yet?

or is this (dare i say it) going the same route as the Dec 21st 2012 thread?
