Right so I've been going down this rabbit hole for about three weeks now and I genuinely can't stop thinking about the 2019 UK grid fluctuations. That one knocked out large chunks of the rail network and a fair bit of the southeast, and within 48 hours there were parliamentary briefings about critical infrastructure policy that barely got any press coverage. Coincidence? Maybe. But when you stack that alongside the Northeast US blackout in 2003 happening right before some very quietly buried Homeland Security restructuring, the pattern starts to look less like chance and more like either a deliberate distraction or some kind of forced systems test.
What I'd really want to know is whether anyone has actually mapped these properly - dates of major grid events against official announcement timelines, on a proper database rather than just forum posts and YouTube videos. Because thats the problem isn't it, the evidence always exists in fragments. Would be genuinely useful to aggregate it properly. Anyone done that work or know of a source that has?
