Interesting angle but I'd want to see the actual data laid out properly before I buy into this. What counts as a "major" blackout? Are we talking grid failures affecting millions, or regional outages? Because the sample size matters a lot here.
What I find more compelling is the communication blackouts - the ones where certain frequencies go dark or get jammed in specific areas. I've logged some unusual RF anomalies down here in Cornwall that lined up with a couple of news cycles in ways I couldn't explain away easily.
The timing question is genuinely worth investigating though. Has anyone actually done a proper timeline comparison, not just vibes but actual documented dates? Because confirmation bias is a real problem in this kind of research and I'd rather we build a solid case than a weak one that gets picked apart.
What specific incidents are you referring to? That would help narrow this down considerably.
