As our electricity grid struggles under the weight of oppressive policies and attacks, blackouts are being touted as our new normal. But blackouts are not what we have been used to in this nation. What’s behind this?
From AIER. On Christmas Eve, 2022, in North Carolina, something happened that had never happened before in living memory. People across the state were alerted by their power company, Duke Energy, that there would be rolling blackouts in the aftermath of a severe (but “not exceedingly rare”) winter wind storm. At least 12 other states received similar and previously unheard-of warnings.
Get involved in state level prayer with IFA.
Before, rolling blackouts were a California problem, then they also became a Texas problem. Blackouts are spreading faster than even Imperial College London modelers would find believable.
Duke was still warning North Carolina customers of potential blackouts two days later on Monday the 26th, when people would be returning to work. At this point there was nothing unusual at all in the weather, except that it was colder than normal. The only thing unusual was Duke’s warning, in combination with its thanking customers for conserving enough energy to avoid blackouts on Christmas Day.
It already seems as if people are being conditioned to expect talk of rolling blackouts whenever the weather outside seems frightful. …
Changing people’s idea of what’s normal…we’ve seen this process before. Remember April 15, 2020, when the governors of several US states all began speaking of the “new normal” of government reordering their lives in dealing with COVID-19? …
Following is an outline of the new-normalling process, in general:
- It’s not happening; everything is normal. If it were happening, it would be really bad. Those who say it’s happening are trying to scare you. …
This is the “Actually, you’re saving 16 cents on a hotdog lunch this July 4th” step. - It’s not really happening. This was a unique set of circumstances not to be repeated. If it were actually happening, it would be really bad. Those who say it’s happening are trying to scare you, and they ought to be silenced. …
This is the “inflation is transitory” step. - OK, yes, it happened, but those who keep harping on that are just out to scare people and not focus on solutions. …
This step is deliberately vague, making people feel confused, wondering what solutions are there and if the bad guys are keeping them away from us. - It is happening, and you should expect it to keep happening. Those critics saying it’s because of our policies are trying to scare you from seeing that we’re actually providing the solution, and we need to press ahead. …
This is the “Communism doesn’t work because not every country is Communist” step. - Yes, it’s happening, and we’re glad! You should be, too. It’s pushing us toward a solution. The people telling you it’s bad are trying to divide society, because they’re scared we have the solution. …
This is the “while the vaccines may not prevent transmission, you might not be hospitalized as long, and we all need to do our part” step. - It’s happening, and that’s proof that the change we’re bringing about is working. People saying it’s bad are trying to drag our society back to the Dark Ages. They are spouting misinformation and should be denied any public forum.
This step is the full embrace of the undesirable outcome, along with the full demonization of the opposition. … - This? Anyone who says it never used to happen is lying. You only think you remember when it didn’t happen. This is all normal.
Here is the final bit of gaslighting. … This is the “wages are growing faster than inflation” step. …
With respect to that great achievement long ago of cheap, reliable electricity, how many of us in the new normal will even allow ourselves to remember it?
