Preparing for the Unthinkable: JC Cole and Trent Loos Sound the Alarm
The two examine the growing vulnerabilities of America’s aging electric grid and the potential devastation of a Coronal Mass Ejection like the 1859 Carrington Event. While solar power can offer a local backup solution, JC warns that even solar systems have their weaknesses.
The conversation turns to growing civil unrest in urban centers, citing National Guard deployments and the shocking threat by Chicago’s mayor to arrest ICE agents. JC and Trent explore the possibility of a “false flag” event designed to push the U.S. into a major global conflict, questioning why NATO and the U.S. are suddenly running massive earthquake drills. They also touch on whether new tariffs could push antibiotic manufacturing back to American soil. To cap things off, JC notes the surge of gold hitting $4,000 per ounce and silver climbing in value, signaling turbulent financial times ahead. As always, the episode closes with JC’s “This Week in History,” drawing lessons from the past to prepare for the future.
