CL&P receiving obvious guidance, releases PSYOPS press releases



That's Land of the Happy People speak. They're taking a huge number and making it sound like a good result. That's still millions of people in the dark.

Are CL&P and Governor Malloy, with heads firmly tucked in their chests and eyes diverted away from the staring cameras, actually proud of that after seven days ?

West Hartford and Farmington are still 85 percent without power ! Even suburban Wethersfield is still 14 percent out and Newington 21 percent.

Stafford and Union are 97 percent without power. Union is a tiny town. Why aren't they being assisted ?

Is this the Globalist coup dominated United States that trucked millions of gallons of fuel and materiel across Iraq and Afghanistan for a decade for ungrateful sloths educated at Ivy League schools Americans can't even afford to attend ? The Afghan President and US "ally" Karzai is going to kill you if the USA ever fights Pakistan. If you don't like NPR, read it on Fox.

Am I in that country that moves mountains when it chooses ?

They did exactly what I warned after 48 hours and 800,000 customers dark (that's millions of cold people on 32 degree nights). They did next to nothing. They delayed. They lied according to town governments. They didn't direct the National Guard away from it's work in support of the fictitious 9/11 narrative until it was "too late".

Today, there are over 1,740 line and tree crews working and more crews continue arriving to assist the effort. Crews continue working with Connecticut National Guard units to open roads in the Northwest and Central parts of the state.

Yes, seven days later when it was clear after 48 they were screwed. They wasted more money at shelters on fuel, supplies, missed school days, etc., then had 2000 National Guardsmen been ordered to report after 48 hours of bungling.

Why are there only Posse Comitatus concerns after actual emergencies when they let the public fester ? There never is when they violate rights the last decade, as they lie about the real source of 9/11 by omission.

Even the placid Courant tells the truth now:


I stated a few days ago that there was a redaction of data on the web map. They not only tried that trick until there was squawking, they tried to redact data from town government !

Collins told them that it contained confidential information, and the town manager had to press him multiple times for a copy, said Slifka.

Slifka said officials eventually got copies, but the information about the town's expected restoration time had purposely been blacked out.

Slifka said he could read through some of the words that were blacked out, and he said the part he read indicated that CL&P's plans could change. "There are parts that are blacked out better than others," he said.

Slifka said he believes the blacked out words, coupled with plans for a meeting CL&P is trying to arrange in town, indicates that many residents can expect to be in the dark for several days beyond CL&P's self-imposed power restoration deadline of 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, he said.

And John Larson is a corporate shill on Pelosi's leash. Had I done what was asked of me in 1995 and not been nearly assassinated by Bormann group owned Merck instead, this would not have been my response today:

The entire Connecticut delegation, with one notable exception, is calling on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to investigate the state's power outage.

The member who did not sign on? U.S. Rep. John Larson, who has tens of thousands of constitutents without power.

Larson issued the following statement late this afternoon explaining why he did not join his Connecticut colleagues: "My primary focus right now is to make sure everyone in CT gets power as soon as possible and to ensure that the right entities are coordinating to get my constituents power and heat especially before this cold weekend.

Nor would this pretend in the face of the technology that caused it:

"Connecticut has been slammed by Irene, Lee and now this freak October snowstorm. We must look at all levels of government participation and figure out how to better respond so that residents will never have to wait a week to get power back up and running .

He missed a tornado. It always seems centered on the same town; the tornado stands as independent proof.

If I know, he knows.

"As of Thursday, there were 25 impassable roads in Avon," Murphy said. "That is a public safety nightmare. We're gonna fight like heck to make sure Connecticut gets every dime."

What a bore, Chris. Where was the army of manpower for seven days ? Also, are you going to show us your mommy and daddy during this campaign as you commit troops to war ?

"It may be that lock-tight enforceable mutual aide agreements are the best deal for ratepayers,'' Murphy said. "We didn't have lock-tight enforceable mutual aide agreements in this case. We thought there were line crews coming that did not come. We absolutely have to have federal agencies looking into the question of how we can better write and enforce mutual aid agreements.''

Yes what they needed was more paper pushers. Brilliant.

Strangely, the Gentleman from Connecticut and his delegation know where to find the National Guard when they're needed abroad. He seems to have failed to locate them in quantity in the last seven days, however.

And to think you asked me if I was going to "nuke Russia" when I registered as a Republican. Why are you letting freaks "nuke" your own country ?

(If I know, he knows.)

The CIA lady did protest too much: Clueless librarian 9/11 narrative Kool Aid drinkers used by CIA to spy on you

If you don't believe my HAARP allegations, consider that months after WTIC's Computer Talk with TAB mocked an Onion parody of CIA monitoring of social media as completely implausible, that it ended up being an article by the AP today. To their credit, on the next show they announced they had dumped their accounts.

At the agency's Open Source Center, a team known affectionately as the "vengeful librarians" also pores over Facebook, newspapers, TV news channels, local radio stations, Internet chat rooms - anything overseas that anyone can access and contribute to openly.

The real people of America don't have to provide freeloader busy work for MLS freaks (ever see a normal librarian ?) from foreign countries. If anyone thinks that the program stops at foreign countries and foreign languages, then I provide the same assurances I did when I first said it existed along with others.

The Bormann group and Gehlen org were behind 9/11. The coup against the Roman Empire was behind 9/11. Sadly for most Americans, the purported elimination of Osama bin Laden for the ninth time from major sources was enough of a backstop.

From 28 December 2001:

The recording was dismissed by the Bush administration yesterday as sick propaganda possibly designed to mask the fact the al-Qa'eda leader was already dead.

Here's what HAARP's Dr John Hecksher caused in Vernon, Connecticut

Any complaints should be directed to him at home in Wayland, Massachusetts.

Don't be dumb animals.

A 2009 tornado in Wethersfield, Irene and this storm were attacks.

Whether witness or the cause, HAARP and the chemicals sprayed at high altitudes as part of the program are an attractive nuisance.


An airplane flew along the rainbands of the hurricane, and dropped nearly 80 pounds (36 kilograms) of crushed dry ice into the clouds. The crew reported "Pronounced modification of the cloud deck seeded". It is not known if that was due to the seeding. Next, the hurricane changed direction and made landfall near Savannah, Georgia. The public blamed the seeding, and Irving Langmuir claimed that the reversal had been caused by human intervention. Cirrus was canceled, and lawsuits were threatened. Only the fact that a system in 1906 had taken a similar path, as well as evidence showing that the storm had already begun to turn when seeding began, ended the litigation. This disaster set back the cause of seeding hurricanes for eleven years.

As for Connecticut, where are the resources ? Why is there a plateau every time ? Why are 100 National Guardsmen announced, and then there's silence ?

Think I'm an alarmist ?


South Windsor, the fire department issued a terse press release, saying people "could die" if CL&P doesn't make wires safe.

The town cleared all roads of trees earlier this week, the release states. But "as of today, dozens of homes remain inaccessible to fire apparatus because CL&P has failed to deploy crews to work with the town."

Residents "could die in fires and homes could burn to the ground," the release states.

"In the last 24 hours, CL&P has taken no action to correct this critical situation … We now feel it necessary to publicly state that we intend to hold the President and Board of Directors of CL&P responsible for any fire deaths, injuries, or property damage in those portions of town that remain inaccessible."

This was a staged attack to give Connecticut a Katrina moment.

Wake up.

CEO of Connecticut Conference of Municipalities tells truth about storm: "They'd hang these guys now."

For those who gasp at my words:

James Finley, chief executive officer of the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities, participated in a conference call with 29 mayors and first selectmen in the Capitol Region Council of Governments with CL&P official Dan Moore, who is well known at the Capitol for his representation of the company. The mayors and town managers were highly frustrated over the response so far.

"They're lucky that the CL&P guys were on the phone,'' Finley said. "They'd hang these guys now. They're doubting they will have 99 percent of the state back on Sunday. There was a lot of frustration from municipal officials.''

Innocent people don't have to take other people's abuse. Retaliation toward someone who started it isn't abuse. I'm fed up with dumb moron law parasites who want the business and then screw people, leaving them with nothing because the system is corrupt.

Unfortunately most nuts in the USA aren't unbiased and can't tell retaliation from a first strike. Only medicated morons tell other people to calm down or say they're angry, when they could be dead and still will be prematurely because of the acts of criminals. Lack of a conviction doesn't mean someone isn't a criminal after they kill or maim.

When you're killed or maimed or someone tries to kill or maim you and takes your life, you'll learn that.

So on that note, maybe HAARP's John Heckscher, ostensibly of Wayland, would like to share with the states he's traumatized why he does it.

If you spray that chemtrail shit one more time near my house like you did last night, and before 7 October you Nazi Kraut, you'll answer to me.

Are you copying me, Dr. Heckscher ? You put me in the hospital again on 7 October, you son of a bitch. You destroyed my lungs over the last decade.

We ruled Rome. You are unlawful, you German sack of manure.

Throw in "retiree" Ed Kennedy, K3NS in with him.

"National Guard To Clear Trees In Farmington Valley"

That's a fine idea 7 days later, and after 7 days of wasting skilled labor's time on same.

I wonder what prompted the change ? Did some card suggest impeachment for failing to execute the duties of office, or write to Washington ?


As nearly 375,000 residents remained without power, the Connecticut National Guard was deployed Thursday night to clear debris clogging hard-hit areas around the state, starting with the towns of Avon and Simsbury.

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy announced Thursday evening that, at his request, about 100 National Guard troops have been activated for the operation, which he said will move into still more communities Friday. In addition, Connecticut Light & Power Co. said it is dedicating additional tree crews to help in the cleanup out of concern for possible safety issues.

Jeffrey Butler, CL&P president and chief operating officer, said the move came in response to acute safety concerns expressed by town officials earlier in the day.

Sure... whatever makes you feel "strong like bull".

What a multi-millionaire imbecile. Can you even solder ?

The pre-Halloween storm and its treacherous aftermath have led to eight deaths, including four from carbon monoxide poisoning, two motor vehicle accidents, one all-terrain-vehicle accident and one from a fire. Overall, 276 residents have been treated for carbon monoxide poisoning as they have tried to stay warm in their homes with the help of gasoline-powered generators or charcoal grills.

Oh, they'll never know just how treacherous it really was.

Alea iacta est: Roman Senate's wealth disparity akin to Congress

The first Rome fell through an unlawful coup d'etat because rich, the lazy Senate trusted Germanic de facto mercenaries to do their bidding.

Alea iacta est.

Members of Congress had a collective net worth of more than $2 billion in 2010, a nearly 25 percent increase over the 2008 total, according to a Roll Call analysis of Members' financial disclosure forms.

Nearly 90 percent of that increase is concentrated in the 50 richest Members of Congress.

The 50 richest Congressmen hold 80 percent of the wealth in Congress, thereby rendering the others as lickspittles.

Understandings regarding the Convention

It is the understanding of the Committee that, for the purposes of this Convention, the terms "widespread",
"long-lasting" and "severe" shall be interpreted as follows:

a) "widespread": encompassing an area on the scale of several hundred square kilometres;
b)"long-lasting": lasting for a period of months, or approximately a season;
c) "severe": involving serious or significant disruption or harm to human life, natural and economic resources or other assets.

It is further understood that the interpretation set forth above is intended exclusively for this Convention and is not intended to prejudice the interpretation of the same or similar terms if used in connexion with any other international agreement.


Understanding relating to article II

It is the understanding of the Committee that the following examples are illustrative of phenomena that could be caused by the use of environmental modification techniques as
defined in article II of the Convention: earthquakes; tsunamis; an upset in the ecological balance of a region; changes in weather patterns (clouds, precipitation, cyclones of various types and tornadic storms); changes in climate patterns; changes in ocean currents; changes in the state of the ozone layer; and changes in the state of the ionosphere.

It is further understood that all the phenomena listed above, when produced by a military or any other hostile use of environmental modification techiques, would result, or could reasonably be expected to result, in widespread, long-lasting or severe destruction, damage or injury. Thus, military or any other hostile use of environmental modification techniques as defined in article II, so as to cause those phenomena as a means of destruction, damage or injury to another State Party, would be prohibited.

It is recognized, moreover, that the list of examples set out above is not exhaustive. Other phenomena which could result from the use of environmental modification techniques as defined in article II could also be appropriately included. The absence of such phenomena from the list does not in any way imply that the undertaking contained in article I would not be applicable to those phenomena, provided the criteria set out in that article were met.


Understanding relating to article III

It is the understanding of the Committee that this Convention does not deal with the question whether or not a given use of environmental modification techniques for peaceful purposes is in accordance with generally recognized principles and applicable rules of international law.


Understanding relating to article VIII

It is the understanding of the Committee that a proposal to amend the Convention may also be considered at any conference of Parties held pursuant to article VIII. It is further understood that any proposed amendment that is intended for such consideration should, if possible, be submitted to the Depositary no less than 90 days before the commencement of the conference.

Note: These Understandings are not incorporated into the Convention but are part of the negotiating record and were included in the report transmitted by the Conference of the Committee on Disarmament to the United Nations General Assembly in September 1976 (Report of the Conference of the Committee on Disarmament, Volume I, General Assembly Official records: Thirty-first session, Supplement No. 27 (A/31/27), New York, United Nations, 1976, pp. 91-92).

Undertaking to observe the following rules, which they acknowledge to embody principles of humanity demanded by the conscience of civilization,
Have decided to conclude a Treaty and for that purpose have appointed as their respective Plenipotentiaries....................
Who, having communicated to one another their full powers, found in good and due form, have agreed upon the following articles:

Art. 3. The bombardment by whatever means of towns, ports, villages or buildings which are defended is prohibited at any time (whether at night or day) when objects of military character cannot be clearly recognized.

Art. 4. Aerial bombardment for the purpose of terrorising the civilian population is expressly prohibited.

Art. 5. 1. Aerial bombardment is prohibited unless directed at combatant forces or belligerent establishments or lines of communication or transportation used for military purposes.

Art. 7. (a) The prohibition of the use of chemical weapons shall apply to the use, by any method whatsoever, for the purpose of injuring an adversary, of any natural or synthetic substance (whether solid, liquid or gaseous) which is harmful to the human or animal organism by reason of its being a toxic, asphyxiating, irritant or vesicant substance.
(b) The said prohibition shall not apply:
I. to explosives that are not in the last-mentioned category;
II. to the noxious substances arising from the combustion or detonation of such explosives, provided that such explosives have not been designed or used with the object of producing such noxious substances;

Art. 9. The prohibition of the use of bacterial weapons shall apply to the use for the purpose of injuring an adversary of all methods for the dissemination of pathogenic microbes or of filter-passing viruses, or of infected substances, whether for the purpose of bringing them into immediate contact with human beings, animals or plants, or for the purpose of affecting any of the latter in any manner whatsoever, as, for example, by polluting the atmosphere, water, foodstuffs or any other objects of human use or consumption.

SAFETY ZONES

Art. 10. For the purpose of better enabling a State to obtain protection for the non-belligerent part of its civil population, a State may, if it thinks fit, declare a specified part or parts of its territory to be a "safety zone" or "safety zones" and, subject to the conditions following, such safety zones shall enjoy immunity from attack or bombardment by whatsoever means, and shall not form the legitimate object of any act of war.

Art. 11. A safety zone shall consist of either:
(a) a camp specially erected for that purpose and so situated as to ensure that there is no defended town, port, village or building within "x" kilometres of any part of such camp, or
(b) an undefended town, port, village or building as defined in Article 2.

Art. 12. The inhabitants of a safety zone shall consist of persons who form part of the non-combatant civil population of the State concerned, and shall

Jeffrey Butler, millionaire CEO of CL&P put meters above delivery and repair

Jeffrey Butler understands customers are cold at night, but won't apologize, and surely won't forfeit his pay for failing at his million dollar job.


They may be, but you're a failure. Why did you leave PG&E after 27 years ?


Faced with mounting criticism that hundreds of thousands remain without power, Connecticut Light & Power’s CEO Jeffrey Butler argued the case for CL&P and its parent company NU saying “We have a business to run.”

While saying there will be a time to look at these issues, Governor Malloy defended the company saying “Let’s be honest. There is no way these utilities could supply 900 or 1,200 crews 52 weeks a year . . . and provide affordable electricity.”

Yet Butler had (your) money for Smart Meters. He should go back to California and take his control freak, big brother Globalism attempts like Smart Meters with him back to PG&E.

Prior to joining CL&P, Butler spent 27 years at Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) in San Francisco, California. Most recently, Butler served as senior vice president—Energy Delivery, where he was responsible for all aspects of electric and gas utility operations for approximately 10 million gas and electric customers. Butler’s diverse background and extensive experience also includes leadership and management positions in Energy Delivery, Transmission and Distribution, Maintenance, Construction, Customer Field Services and Metering activities at PG&E.

Metering. Transmission. It seems that he puts charging you ahead of delivering to you in practice.

And why did he leave PG&E after such a long time ? Was it to spread Smart Meters far and wide like a twisted modern day Johnny Appleseed ?

Who cares about his self-aggrandizing paper pusher post at the United Way. He could obviously care less that medical patients of all kinds, including cancer patients like my uncle, were made to spend nights at 35 degrees.

I even saw Police start to shill once they had station power and say it would be worse if it was sub-freezing. Once they got what they wanted it was back to brainwashed law and order moron statements. What's the difference in a house at midnight at 32 degrees or 25 degrees ? Having lived it in 2005 and nearly dying from a lung infection (again) thanks to the cold and my earlier Globalist, Bormann group Merck near fatal maiming... there isn't one.

And don't mention shelters. There isn't enough room for everyone. Not even close no matter how much time and money is wasted on stupidity like massages and lobster in Simsbury.


John Betkowski III of PURA had issued a draft decision on the meters recommending rejection of the $863 million request from Connecticut Light & Power, arguing that the benefit was too small to justify the expense. Smart meters can break down electric costs on an hourly basis.

...and watch you in real time. Advanced ones can shut off appliances or your entire property.

DEEP Commissioner Daniel Esty had made the request to PURA to put off the final decision until his agency can come up with a policy on smart meters...

Both Esty and Jepsen have opposed the smart meter application. Esty came under further scrutiny when it became known that he earned $205,000 as a consultant for Northeast Utilities, the parent company of CL&P. Esty said it was more than five years ago and no one he worked with is still with the company.


Jepsen made his argument in a brief filed with state regulators, who are reviewing CL&P’s request to replace all the existing analog meters with advanced meter infrastructure. The utility also asked the regulators to grant the power company a guaranty that it can recover the entire cost of installation from consumers. The utility’s request is being made before the costs are evaluated to assure they fall within a reasonable and acceptable range. “CL&P’s proposal would force the company’s ratepayers to spend at least $500 million on new meters that are likely to provide few benefits in return,” Jepsen said in his petition. He also asked regulators to “continue to evaluate emerging meter system technologies as well as other conservation programs” and only agree to the deployment of smart meters if and when they are cost effective. State regulators previously approved a limited study of 10,000 meters. CL&P reported the results to the Department of Public Utility Control a year ago. Jepsen claimed, “The pilot results showed no beneficial impact on total energy usage. And, the savings that were seen in the pilot were limited to certain types of customers and would be far outweighed by the cost of installing the new meter systems.” Jepsen also pointed out that the meters CL&P are seeking to replace were installed between 1994 and 2005 and have a 20 year life expectancy, so he believes replacing them early with smart meters will incur unnecessary additional costs for customers.

They have the nerve to say transmission line failure was the fault of WTNH weather staff when the public's money is obviously going to foreign built techno-toys to serve a Globalist agenda ?

Outages: A Shelter Macaroni writes a letter to the Hartford Courant Editor



We were in the dark here because of the storm. I tripped a dozen times, scuffing my loafers in the process, before we resigned our small tribe to shelter life.

Summer camp at Rangeley it is not.

This is so hard for me, because I can't run my Cuisinart regularly to self lubricate, my networked home theater doesn't work and may have been disabled by a surge, thus I'm going through jazz withdrawl.

My wife's hair is now frizzy beyond compare and I fear there may be damage to her already delicate ends.

I had to throw away our very best Brie as well as our delicate meats. Indeed, I'm most concerned that if I'm not at the outlet at the moment of power restoration, our newest stainless Sub Zero will be damaged.

I did ask the CL&P CEO's office to text me advance warning, however. There is some hope of civility in these matters.

My oldest Château Lafite Rothschild is no doubt sweating in its unsupervised state and without access to my remote weather station in the humidor as well, I fear my five boxes of Black Dragons have seen better days.

Upon arrival we were met by an "amateur radio operator" towing several handheld radios and wearing a bile colored reflective vest who directed us to park next to a 1995 Ford something or other. I stated my preference to find another parking buddy, but he insisted and I so hated to upset this man's holiday season so early.

For the past few days in the stead of Lavender hand cremes from Crabtree and Evelyn, I've been forced to use that reddish goop in the high school shelter lavatory.

There aren't even real hand towels, as they provide only a hand dryer powered by a smaller version of an engine I simulated at UTC while pursuing my dual MBA / MS degrees. It blows air so vigorously that it flattens out our thin skin while cracking and ultimately bruising it as it dries out.

And, oh my God. I've actually had to wear the same unwashed shirt from Brooks Brothers twice in the last week simply to keep up some semblance of gentility as I begin to rotate through the collection.

I told the chef at the shelter that while I enjoyed the lobster he diligently prepared, that henceforth I require freshly ground pepper for my red meats and pastas to which he sternly replied "go back to prep school." How assuming.

Children at the shelter have discovered that there is a large tree stump to kick in by the rear entrance.

Our youngest boy was struck in the shin by flying pieces of sharp bark.

After that near horror, we attempted to book an emergency cruise to the Med. Failing that, we instead resigned to the cottage on the Cape. There, we ordered a new natural gas generator to be installed in the main home in the Connecticut hills as soon as it can be built and delivered.

It can't come soon enough.

Shelter life is so gauche.

Outages: Loose Change

These NU salaries will buy some cucumbers... if the recipients are fired for trying to shift blame to WTNH weathermen, when the state has four networks and over a dozen weather staffers.

I'd like to know how transmission lines out in the clear are the fault of WTNH ?

Do share with us how that one isn't infrastructure that was ignored in favor of profit.

As for their repair methods, do you know what happens when you splice wire ?

You get to go back and fix it again later as it corrodes. A cheap corporation out to steal what they're paid wants you to think it's just as good and that includes the Military Industrial Complex.

It is as good. Until it gets hit by another limb or corrodes.

Outages: Are the suburbs being punished ?

Update at 812 PM: Wethersfield has 9126 customers out. That's 73 percent out. Remember, blocks of large numbers are likely entire streets or even multi user buildings.

It seems that based on the map and the number of corporate shills and probable government disinformation agents chanting "be patient" with unprepared fools, that the longest times and least recovered quantity of customers are in the affluent suburbs.

List


Map


Wethersfield is still 80 percent out. That's 9904 still dark out of 12364 customers at 727 PM (2327 UTC) on 2 November. Not good at all. Lots of that was the Silas Deane Highway businesses today from what I know.

Why is this corporation so reticent to get crews ? Stop being so damn cheap and stop using skilled labor to remove branches when the National Guard can do that, instead of hunting Gaddafis for jilted Globalists under NATO guise.

This is as disturbing as the absolute total numbers in the cities were at the start from the security standpoint.

Hungry people are rightfully angry people.

Yes, cities don't have as many trees, and cities are smaller. But the Globalist corporation CL&P (soon to be merged with NSTAR under Bank of America "boardster" Thomas May) still aren't doing well at all toward their full restoration on Saturday claims.

Based on reports, they are using skilled linemen for "dumb money" work like branches which any National Guardsman can learn in 60 minutes under the supervision of a crew.

Yet still the public languishes. The people in charge are either staging this to develop a crisis, or don't have the skill set that says you get your help now, not 14 days from now.

It smells of Katrina like reverse discrimination.

Businesses are useful, but no one sleeps in them. Now try helping some humans.


Although requiring gas stations to have generators in the event of power failures seems like an easy and simple solution, it's really a bandage on the problem.

Ten years of the public bailing out business losers or paying for accessories like generators has to stop, Michael.

I'm reading lunatic shills say "stop beating up the power company" ?

I am so tired of listening to people complain and place blame for the power outages on CL&P.

How much is your pension from them, Judy ? No one is beating up on workers verbally or otherwise, and thieving executives have it coming. What kind of nut defends a company that's making them suffer, ever ?

They get those million dollar salaries for superior brains and education and I see neither as talent rots.

HAARP black out all the more obvious the next day









Last night I pointed out the HAARP data was not only missing before 0000 on 1 November (ie Halloween), it was then stopped at 0200 UTC on 2 November.

These gaps include the seismic instruments and VHF.

Even the magnetometer is gap evidenced by the straight line.

There's obviously no need to redact natural solar activity.

HAARP black out accompanies jet spraying





No wait. Their server went down. Yeah, that's it...

Yesterday brought considerable jet spraying activity over New England.

First they redacted the magnetometer, ending at 0200 UTC on 1 November. Now they have just shut it off as of last night as seen in the charts.

During the same time since 0200 UTC today, they don't want you to see the spectrum monitors either

By night, the HAARP web site was down and by day, the data has been redacted except for the magnetic outburst seen on the the magnetometer.

You know, in the "real" Star Wars, the weapons worked on the right people, not their own citizens.

CL&P Estimates are just that



Connecticut Light & Power released restoration estimates for all Connecticut towns on Wednesday, as 548,078 of its customers remain without power.

CL&P estimates most of the towns on the list should be restored by 99 percent on Sunday. A few others could be restored by Friday.

When you're an executive with a natural gas generator or the Governor with a home makeover, who cares, right ?

Dear Barack Obama

Dear Barack Obama,

In regard to the destruction of the power grid in Connecticut and
Massachusetts, the government is risking the security of several
states in the Northeast by sending minimal, farcical aid. It's been
several days with millions without power in 35 degree nightly air.

Stores are dysfunctional. Gas is short. Is this by design by you ? Are
you punishing them or do you have another plan in mind ?

If the USA were to be attacked now, it is unlikely it would be able to
absorb it. I'm sure you know that.

So kindly tell the man who is Governor of Connecticut (and whose house
was raided repeatedly by the police while Mayor of Stamford over his
drug dealer son) to start taking his job seriously at the start of
business tomorrow.

Your spraying jet sorties like those over Southeast Massachusetts
today put me in hospital on 7 October half-dead, and turned the late
storm into a nightmare in Connecticut.

It's nippy out there; you went far over your mark. We all know what
mark that is. Do you have a chart of average temperatures in your
possession ?

Making the sick, old, young and injured wait for heat by the millions
is now unacceptable.

You and Dannel Malloy are making virtually no progress other than
sending water and MREs.

Why are you so fast to send troops to foreign countries to perform the
same duties that you are so slow to perform here ?

You have billions to dust the sky and not one penny to aid the cold masses.

Malloy ignored utility linemen expertise after Irene mishap, should be impeached

UPDATE: At 10:23 PM, Wethersfield now has 11829 customers dark, or 95 percent. However based on every other day, those are just hanging chads and absentee votes by military enlisted overseas that will be tossed, thereby bringing the total back to 97 percent for the chosen candidate... oh wait, wrong story line.

After several hours of accusations, the map and other CL&P data have returned. However, the results are more disturbing by the day.


At 8 PM, it's gotten worse again like last night !


By the end of day 4, CL&P has restored 313 customers ?

Every person in Morris, Stafford, New Fairfield, Somers, Warren, Washington, Winchester and 99 percent of Windsor are out.

What is this, now ? Are you all insane, incompetent, or are you building a crisis for handlers ?
Malloy, have you read and understood the Connecticut Constitution ?

You are liable, based on the union reports:

ARTICLE FOURTH.

OF THE EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.

SEC. 18. In case of the death, resignation, refusal to serve or removal from office of the governor, the lieutenant-governor shall, upon taking the oath of office of governor, be governor of the state until another is chosen at the next regular election for governor and is duly qualified. In case of the inability of the governor to exercise the powers and perform the duties of his office, or in case of his impeachment or of his absence from the state, the lieutenant-governor shall exercise the powers and authority and perform the duties appertaining to the office of governor until the disability is removed or, if the governor has been impeached, he is acquitted or, if absent, he has returned.

and

ARTICLE NINTH.

OF IMPEACHMENTS.

SEC. 1. The house of representatives shall have the sole power of impeaching.

SEC. 2. All impeachments shall be tried by the senate. When sitting for that purpose, they shall be on oath or affirmation. No person shall be convicted without the concurrence of at least two-thirds of the members present. When the governor is impeached, the chief justice shall preside.

SEC. 3. The governor, and all other executive and judicial officers, shall be liable to impeachment; but judgments in such cases shall not extend further than to removal from office, and disqualification to hold any office of honor, trust or profit under the state. The party convicted, shall, nevertheless, be liable and subject to indictment, trial and punishment according to law.

SEC. 4. Treason against the state shall consist only in levying war against it, or adhering to its enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason, unless on the testimony of at least two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court. No conviction of treason, or attainder, shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture.

Malloy feigns caring as CL&P hides outage information ?

The outage report system has now been redacted both through the Hartford Courant and through the direct link.

I hope foreign readers are paying close attention to the decline and fall of the USA through lies, theft and murder.

Fix the power, you NSTAR allied criminals, and stop hiding data from the afflicted masses.

This is beginning to make me think that it's staged to see how far they can push the public... or worse, when the corporate fools sponsor protests then "fear riots". Worse when the State Department imports Egyptians who the led soft coup as detailed in Wired and yet then the same government fears "riots".

Malloy, whose house was raided repeatedly by Stamford Police while Mayor, is deceivingly portrayed thus, in the Courant. Millions (remember that a "customer" means an "address") sit cold and dark on day 4 with virtually no progress using our Wethersfield example:

A frustrated Gov. Dannel P. Malloy expressed disappointment that outside utility crews are not coming to Connecticut quickly enough to help restore power to hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses.

The state, which has more people without electricity than all of the other states impacted by the weekend snowstorm combined, has enlisted the federal government's help.

"We have been disappointed in the response from outside the region,'' Malloy said at a late-morning briefing at the emergency operations center. "Specifically the Department of Energy has been asked to intercede to make sure more assets are on their way.''

He forgets he's had weeks to regroup since the Irene weather modification disaster and now he pretends anew for his handlers.


Before 800,000 customers lost power in Connecticut’s latest monster storm, the electrical workers union was trying to meet with the governor to alert him to dangerously low staffing levels. The governor didn’t have time.

That word came Monday from Frank Cirillo, business manager for the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 420, as Gov. Dannel P. Malloy took to the skies to survey statewide damage that is leaving swaths of Connecticut without power.

Cirillo’s union repeatedly sought to meet with Malloy after Tropical Storm Irene because of what it said were problems revealed in its aftermath with Connecticut’s level of preparedness. Cirillo Monday called Malloy’s decision not to meet with the union “idiotic.”


But aside from staffing, work hours are also an issue for the union.

As with Tropical Storm Irene, Cirillo said they’re allowed to work only 16 hours on the job and 8 hours off.

“We’ve been doing this for 120 years,” Cirillo said. “We’re big boys. We know when we’re tired.”

Cirillo argues the company should allow the linemen and tree crews to continue working.

And for that the voters suffer. But will they remember ?

The press conference featured Larson, Delauro and Courtney... two are missing.

Where is Chris ? Paging Senator-in-waiting-Murphy.

Could it be they are hiding Representative Himes and Senator-from-birth Murphy, to keep them clean of this bungled response ? They only sent the adults near retirement age out to scowl. They hid the two most likely Democrats to be Senator, and oh, gee, Himes is on the House Committee on Financial Services.

Chris is his former employer Chris Dodd's sock puppet.

Any questions why they'd protect them from having their faces associated with this mess ? The leadership wants them to act as goaltenders for what their current elders did since 2008 to destroy the economy.


In a blow to the administration, Governor Dannel Malloy's trusted chief of staff, his deputy chief, and communications director are all leaving...

What's wrong ? Can't they lie to the public and put on their serious face masks for weeks of no power in urban areas ?

"Anybody who reads anything into it beyond what the governor said is looking for things that don't exist. Tim said from the beginning he would stay a year or less. The governor knew that. I knew that. ... There's really nothing there.''

Occhiogrosso said the announcements were going to be made Friday, but were postponed because of the impending snowstorm that hit the state hard.

Another Democratic insider, former chief Senate Democratic spokesman Patrick Scully, agreed with Pelto that the timing was curious. Instead of the traditional practice of dropping bad news late on a Friday night in the hopes that it would be forgotten over the weekend, this news came when the power was out, he said.

"The timing of this is very, very strange,'' Scully said. "It's almost as if with the snowstorm, this week becomes an extended take-out-the-trash time. The whole week can be used as take-out-the-trash because nobody has electricity. ... In all my years at the Senate Democrats, I haven't seen anything like this - three aides leaving at once at a time of crisis.''
