If you are new to Unfiltered News,
these recent headlines may need explanation to appreciate how
incredibly important this topic is. If you already know about it, you
can skip the following text window. However, even if you have read our
previous reports, I urge you to take a moment to review. It is hard to
imagine anything more important.
If you are in a hurry to see the film, you can skip to the bottom of
this page and click on the link ... but please came back and help us get
this message to the world.
The topic of this documentary is about as serious as it gets:
the possible end of civilization as we know it. That is not hyperbole
or scare mongering, but the sober evaluation of analysts from many
scientific disciplines. However, it's not just another end-of-world
horror show. It's about what needs to be done and can be done to avert this outcome.
X-CLASS SOLAR STORMS
We are talking about the probability
‒
astronomers call it the inevitability
‒
of the Earth being slammed by a mega solar flare. This is not the kind
we read about in our newspapers every few months that interrupts
communications and creates light shows in
the Northern skies. We are talking about their big brothers that are hundreds
and
even thousands of times more powerful. These monsters deliver enough
electromagnetic energy to completely blow apart the master transformers
at generating plants that supply the planet's energy grids. If that
happens, the lights go out and stay out for longer than anyone wants to even think about.
It takes about two years to build and deliver one of those transformers (about the size of a small house)
‒
and that's assuming the manufacturers themselves have electrical power,
which is a questionable assumption. If hundreds of these transformers
were destroyed at the same time, it could be at least twenty years
before the grids becomes operable once again.
Twenty years without electricity!
Imagine the chaos that would ensue
‒
no light, no water from pipes, no appliances, communications, gas
pumps, transportation, food in grocery stores, fire-fighting, banking
services, medical services, police protection
‒
you get the idea. It has been estimated that eighty to ninety percent
of the population, especially in cities and towns, would perish.
Fortunately, these high-end X-Class solar storms don't hit the Earth very often, only every 150 years, on average. But unfortunately, the last one arrived 156 years ago, which means that, statistically, we are overdue.
THE CARRINGTON EVENT
When the last one occurred
‒
it was called the Carrington Event
‒
power grids did not exist. However, the telegraph was coming into use
then. The energy from the Carrington Event was picked up by telegraph
cables, fried the wires, burned some of the poles, and set fire to
equipment. The electronics in modern power systems are much more
delicate than in telegraph systems, and multi-million-mile expanse of
wires in today's power grids constitutes a more efficient antenna system
to capture electromagnetic energy. It is the understatement of the
century to say that we have been warned.
"It would literally paralyze all the United States, not just for a day or an hour, but for months to years."
~~
Michio Kaku, Professor of Theoretical Physics, City College of New York
"Severe geomagnetic storms have the potential to cause long-duration outages to widespread areas of the North American grid."
~~ North American Electric Reliability Corporation and the US
Department of Energy, High Impact, Low Frequency Event Risks to the
North American Bulk Power System (June, 2010)
Summary: Eventually, possibly within the next decade, Earth will be
hit by a solar burst that will knock out the world's power grids for
months or years.

HOW NAIVE WE WERE
When we began research for this documentary we naively thought it was
our mission to inform government and industry leaders about the need to
protect the grid, but we were in for a shock. After further research, we
discovered that everything we were hoping to bring to the attention of
these people was already known to them. The public may have been in the
dark (pun intended, but government and industry officials have known
about this for nearly two decades. In fact, we learned that some of them
have taken steps to insure that they will survive what they consider to
be an inevitable apocalypse, but they are doing very little to protect
the rest of us.
PRETENDED PREPAREDNESS
The second shock was to learn that the same damage could be caused by
the detonation of an EMP weapon in space and that many of the people who
are responsible for protecting the grid from solar storms and EMPs
publicly pretend that there is nothing to worry about.
This documentary shows that such assurances are not even close to the trut
h, and that pretended preparedness has become the most serious as
pect of the problem. If those we
trust
to protect us are trying to cover up their failure or even if they are
just trying to avert public panic, either way we are woefully
unprotected
‒
while our rendezvous with the sun (or an EMP) is inexorably approaching.
There
have been numerous documentaries and books on the vulnerability of the
power grid, but all of them have uncritically accepted the assumption
that government and industry are doing everything possible to protect
us. No one has had the courage to challenge that assumption
‒
until now.
OUR GOAL
The purpose of this documentary is to create the momentum
necessary to require retrofitting the master power transformers that
supply the grid with protective devices, which currently are available
at reasonable cost. To accomplish that, the public must be informed,
governments must be compelled to stop pretending preparedness, and
executives of utility companies must find the courage to speak the truth
to their stockholders so they can fund the necessary retrofits
‒
and do it quickly.

WE ARE AT THE FINISH LINE FOR THE DOCUMENTARY
Our
goal is to release this program with sufficient image and sound quality
to be suitable for theatrical and TV distribution. Patrea Patrick (our
Producer and Editor) also has worked hard to prepare it for entry in
film-festivals and Academy-Award competition. These efforts are aimed at
reaching the largest audience possible.
Even though the program is complete, it would benefit from
color-correction to make all scenes consistent, re-mixing and
equalizing music and audio, and purchasing the rights for several video
clips taken from commercial sources. It would be a shame to have to
delete these from the program.
You probably have figured out where this is going. We are out of
money to do these things, and we need your help to complete the mission.
The production is funded by donations, and we are deeply grateful to
those who already have generously supported this effort, but now the
fund is empty just as we come to the finish line.
So far, we have received $21,800 in donations. That is far short of
what we anticipated, and it is a tribute to Patrea Patrick that she was
able to accomplish so much for so little. When we started, we felt that
we needed about $60,000 at a minimum, but Patrea brought it all together
with what we had. She has worked tirelessly for almost a year, without
compensation, to complete the program ‒ but now she must stop unless we can cover the cost of these final expenses.
Please join with Patrea and me and the many others
who already have donated to make Offline possible.
Here's how you can help:
Angels* donate $200 and receive a DVD autographed by the producers. Angels' names will appear on-screen at the end of the film.
*Our
Angels are not Hollywood investors but just common people who care
about their families and the future of mankind. They are the real thing.
Guardian Angels* donate $1,000 and also receive a handsome
plaque acknowledging their role in making this production possible. You
will be proud to display this in your home.
*Guardian Angels, of course, are special. Everyone should have one. We are hoping for many.
Archangels* donate $5,000 and also receive an open
invitation to a private lunch or dinner with the producers, G. Edward
Griffin and Patrea Patrick, in the Los Angeles area.
*They say that Archangels are limited in number but very powerful. We sure could use a few.
Cherubs* prepay $20 for the DVD including shipping and tax. Later, they will cost $19.50 plus
shipping and tax, so this is a thrifty way to obtain your copy. Advance
purchases are greatly appreciated, especially in quantity. They are
ideal gifts for family and friends.
