Solar Storms and GPS Failures
Earth's Magnetic Field is Failing
Things are changing, folks. Not only politically and economically, for which we all need to be prepared for. Things are also happening at a galactic level. No, not alien invasions. This is ACTUAL science, not the government-sanctioned "climate-science" we have been force-fed for years. Please read the quoted passage from spaceweathernews.com below, (source provided, but it will disappear in a day) and understand the following things...
The Earth's magnetic field is collapsing, and we do not have the same protection we had just 20 years ago from much stronger solar storms.
The sun is very active right now (solar maximum).
The 10 May 2024 storm was 10 times weaker than the 2003 Halloween solar storm, yet did hundreds of times more damage.
The government knows all of this, but will not disclose the information for the same reason they create wars, poison our food and conjured up a chimeric disease and a deadly "vaccine" to combat it... they are no different from Mao and they WANT us dead.
We are preparing for war, and economic collapse, and civil unrest. What we SHOULD be preparing for is a once-in-12,000-years solar storm that wiped out civilization 12,000 years ago. We're due, and all of the evidence points to this storm coming within our lifetimes. At the very least it will wipe out our electric grid and communications, which will lead to the death of 90% of the population within a month. The damage, like 12,000 years ago (and 24,000, etc.) may be devastating beyond comprehension. The following is just a micro-sample for what will happen.
Last note... when there is news of major solar storms (you know, when everyone gets excited about low-latitude aurora displays) you might consider staying off the road. If tractors can go crazy, imagine self-driving cars and trucks losing their connection the GPS and potentially driving erratically or simply shutting down in the middle of the highway.
"SOLAR STORMS ARE DRIVING FARMERS CRAZY: Planting season is a hectic time for farmers. For many, it means working through the night using GPS-guided tractors to plant thousands of acres in a short period of time. The season was in full swing on May 10, 2024, when the biggest solar storm in decades struck Earth.
QUOTE: "Our tractors acted like they were demon possessed," says Elaine Ramstad, a spaceweather.com reader and aurora chaser who helps out on a family farm in Northern Minnesota. "All my cousins called me during the May 10th storm to tell me that 'my auroras' were driving them crazy while they were planting."
Modern farmers rely heavily on GPS. Guided by satellites, smart tractors can work around the clock, seeding perfectly straight rows with precise amounts of seed and fertilizer. When harvesting time comes, the tractors can return to exactly the same spots to pick the crops.
This kind of precision agriculture has become widespread. "I would guess 80% or more of all farmers in the Midwest use at least basic GPS for something--whether it's auto-steer or yield mapping," says Ethan Smidt, a service manager for John Deere. "At least 50% of all farmers are VERY reliant on GPS and use it on every machine all year long."
Solar activity poses a growing problem for farm-tech. During big solar storms, a layer of Earth's atmosphere called "the ionosphere" fills with bubbles, waves, and turbulence, which severely distort radio signals from GPS satellites. Sometimes tractors and harvesters can't lock on, which stops them in their tracks. Or the signal may be garbled, causing them to juke back and forth.
May 10th wasn't the end of it. Tractors went off-course again during the autumnal storms of Oct. 6th and 10th.
Ramstad was helping her cousins defoliate sugar beets on Oct. 6th when her tractor started acting up: "As the aurora activity began, my GPS was off by close to a foot. Twice while on Autosteer, the tractor danced a row to the left, to the right — and then the defoliator was off a row, so I had to loop around and start over. By nightfall, there was no controlling the Autosteer."
Indiana farmer Michael Spencer had a similar experience: "This fall was the first time I was able to see the aurora. My hair was standing on end from the beauty, however, it did make the John Deere tech dance. When the storms were strongest around Oct. 7th, my tractor's Autosteer system would 'jump the line'--meaning, the tractor would make a quick jolt left or right and I would have to manually reset."
It doesn't take an historic solar storm to cause problems. While the May 10th storm was a rare and extreme category G5, storms in October were much more common category G3 and G4 events. All of them sent massive pieces of hardware off course.
NASA says that Solar Maximum has arrived, and it could last for another 1 to 2 years, confusing tractors again in 2025 and 2026. Stay tuned for more crooked rows."
We live in interesting times.
