Do the airports work under a blackout? I see some planes over Argentina and one going to land to Buenos Aires. (its not only one, but i follow one on flightradar)
 Quoting: Ostria1


I would imagine generators for landing plane's only.

WHAT!

This is how it starts. I have never heard of an entire country the size of ARGENTINA without power, not too mention Uruguay as well!

What is going on?
 Quoting: 2012Portal


It has to be a test for the real thing against a bigger country from someone (e.g., China, Russia, Iran, North Korea) because there is nothing to gain by doing it to these countries

Any GLP'ers down there with generators and satellite Internet whom can comment?!
 Quoting: 2012Portal


I feel bad for the poor bastards in the cities here. I live in the mountains and I'm stocked up with gas for the generator.

Charging neighbors phone now. Shotgun and 9mm at the ready in case the locals get frisky.

I will post updates. 2 provinces have power back.

Earth's magnetic field could become unsettled on June 18th and 19th when an incoming stream of solar wind reaches our planet. The gaseous material is flowing from a large hole in the sun's atmosphere.

I'm in Mendoza and the power keeps coming on sporadically, then off again. Just went off again. Interesting considering the Drudge link to US hacking Russia's grid. Maybe they are testing many regions
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77734710


Thank you for reporting this, I have a friend there and was wondering. I also have a friend in Uruguay I'm waiting to hear back from.

Had no idea this was going on until I saw this thread. Thanks, Ostria!

Prepare...
 Quoting: Luisport


Accept Jesus Christ is the only way to prepare!

When it comes to the US it’s the complete destruction of her.

See Babylon the Great in Revelation 17-18.

The rapture coincides with the event!

It’s the beginning of Day of the Lord! Amen!
