Solar Disruption On Wall Street, Auroral Electrojets | Grid Updates
The sun isn't even beginning to approach normal high-intensity solar flaring range yet. But its disruptive effects on our antiquated grid are causing irreparable losses in the stock market
Mainstreaming Solar Science
The better we can shield our existing electrical grid, the better we will be able to plan and develop our safe zone communities. Some of the best minds in electrical engineering believe we can shield the grid from the most likely and common high-intensity solar glare events.
The weakening magnetic field and the increased effects of moderate storm activity recently, got these researchers thinking, about the costs of repair and out-and-out destruction of various electric and satellite, components during recent solar storms.

Abstract
Purpose
This paper's purpose was to examine the impact of geomagnetic activity (GMA) on the timing and valuation of earnings information disclosed by firms every quarter.
Design/methodology/approach
The authors start the analyses with a sample of 112,669 client firms from 1989 to 2018. To analyze the impact of GMA on the earnings response coefficient (ERC), the authors use the three-day cumulative abnormal returns and cumulative abnormal returns for the extended post-earnings announcement window [2, 75] as the dependent variables…
The conclusions of the study go on to say that the losses are irretrievable.
Findings
The authors find significantly lower earnings response coefficients during periods of high GMA. This effect is permanent and stock prices do not correctly incorporate the implications of earnings information over time.
Safe Zone Community Updates on Space Weather Missions
The more people can unwrap their heads from MSM climate science and draw their opinions from a larger set of facts, the more people will begin to grasp the importance of shielding the grid and working from an Earth Space weather perspective, rather than a strictly carbon-based emissions standard relying on incomplete data.
Solar Eruption, New Mission, Old Joke | S0 News Mar.6.2024
Suspicious Observers reports on the start of the Auroral Electrojet Zeeman Imaging Explorer mission to calculate aspects of solar interaction, and climate influence.
The Electrojet Zeeman Imaging Explorer will see how the electrojets in Earth’s aurora at the poles, generated by solar activity, influence the climate and atmosphere through the magnetosphere.
NASA Approves Heliophysics Missions to Explore Sun, Earth’s Aurora
Electrojet Zeeman Imaging Explorer, or EZIE, will help us understand the Sun and Earth as an interconnected system.
The Electrojet Zeeman Imaging Explorer (EZIE) will study electric currents in Earth’s atmosphere linking aurora to the Earth’s magnetosphere – one piece of Earth’s complicated space weather system, which responds to solar activity and other factors. The Auroral Electrojet (AE) index is a common measure of geomagnetic activity levels, even though the details of the structure of these currents is not understood. EZIE will launch no earlier than June 2024. The total budget for the EZIE mission is $53.3 million. The principal investigator for the mission is Jeng-Hwa (Sam) Yee at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland.
Many believe the further linking of solar data to all other environmental research will shatter existing Green Agenda-oriented climate models with a more complete dataset.
Important To Safe Zone Communities
It is important to link the sun’s influence on our environment in order to create a basis of public understanding, on the importance of the next geomagnetic excursion, and where we are in the timeline. The more hands on deck in the next 10 to 15 years, the better prepared we will be and the more minds we will have focused on discovering our true timeline for the next major solar flare, and the geomagnetic excursion.
America’s Largest Power Grid Faces Worsening Reliability Risks
A new report reveals the US’ largest power grid is shuttering power generation units faster than new supply can be brought online, threatening electric reliability in 13 states that stretch from Illinois to New Jersey with over 65 million customers.
PJM Interconnection published a new study Friday that examines the alarming trend of state and federal decarbonization policies across the grid that “present increasing reliability risks during the transition, due to a potential timing mismatch between resource retirements, load growth and the pace of new generation entry.”

With a world seemingly on fire and a country whose morals and founding principles seem to be crumbling at the core, a lot of people are seeing the signs to prepare for hard times. The idea of “prepping” can be a confusing and daunting task without proper expert guidance, and many are not sure where to even begin.
Building a Survival Retreat can be a very expensive endeavor, especially if you buy the wrong property, design your retreat incorrectly, or invest large amounts of money in the wrong type of long-term food storage, property security, survival gear, and weapon selections . . .

ABSTRACT
The Earth’s core is undergoing a dramatic change with geomagnetic field strength dropping by 40% over the last 400 years, and satellite observations showing the field weakening ten times faster than previously calculated. These changes are a precursor to a common geological phenomenon known as a geomagnetic polarity reversal, where the north and south magnetic poles of the Earth reverse. Geomagnetic polarity reversals significantly decrease the strength of the magnetic field, thereby considerably increasing the interaction of the solar wind with the Earth’s atmosphere and biosphere. The purpose of this research is to answer if the United States is prepared for the impacts to national security resulting from the next geomagnetic polarity reversal.
The report begins with an overview of pole reversals, then evaluates the effects of reversals on United States national security by utilizing six evaluation criteria ranging from infrastructure areas such as the electrical power grid to national response capabilities. The research evaluates the impacts of increases in solar and cosmic radiation and the threat of adverse space weather during a polarity transition on United States national security.
This research concluded that the nation is not prepared for both geomagnetic polarity reversals and adverse space weather. Furthermore, the nation has neglected funding for geoscience and geomagnetism research. Based on the conclusions, this research recommends increasing geoscience and geomagnetism funding, spearheading an international geomagnetic initiative, developing response, recovery, and risk plans at the national level, and preparing the national infrastructure for the threats posed by pole reversals.
Reversal Frequency Differs
We have been saying that a geomagnetic excursion occurs approx. every 12,000 years. This is based on Ben’s research and statements from other researchers. However, this paper offers a completely different timeline.
Reversal Frequency
Pole reversals are a familiar part of the Earth system going back millions of years. In fact, during the last 40 million years alone the field has flipped 143 times, with an average reversal rate of once per 250 thousand years for the last 25 million years.''!* The last polarity reversal, the Matuyama-Brunhes, occurred over 780 thousand years ago, showing that the Earth could be overdue for a reversal based on the frequency of the last 25 million years.'* It is also important to note that there have been several geomagnetic excursions occurring since the last
full polarity reversal event, which occur at a rate of two to three per million years. '*
So is our 12,000-year timeline suddenly chopped liver?
I don’t think so. I have seen the same analysis of reversal frequency, on a number of mainstream academic sites and in mainstream news reports. I’m guessing he did not analyze every possible geomagnetic excursion on his own and relied on older data taught at the college level at the time for this part of the paper.
Remember the tussle we had getting our AI chatbot to recognize Gothenburg, as a geomagnetic excursion in our last newsletter? This geomagnetic science research has really only blossomed in the last 10 to 15 years, and mainstream science data takes time to evaluate, catch up, and then begin changing the message most easily available to the public and published in schools.
Where Our Timelines Concur
Here it looks like our timeline data for events may be in sync with his data. Although he offers no firm timeline, the basic data upon which The Observer’s timeline is based shows more loss to magnetic field strength, than Suspicious Observer’s previous estimates.
When will the next Pole Reversal Occur?
There is strong evidence suggesting that a transition may be underway, with magnetic field strength levels during the last 150-200 years dropping by a significant 15 percent. !® Measurements made since the invention of the compass have shown strength levels falling by an astounding 40% over 400 years.'’ Field strength measurements made by ESA’s SWARM satellite array add to this building picture of changes in the Earth’s core, with data showing the rate of change is occurring ten times faster than previously calculated.”° If the weakening trend continues accelerating, and the field reverses in the same manner as the Matuyama-Brunhes transition, the Earth could see a flip in a human lifetime.

Why no firm timeline?
Here is another excerpt from the paper. This is a very common view among researchers. It appears to have some of the boilerplate academics as this paper’s reversal frequency segment. But this varying timeline for the complete reversal cycle is also shared by many cutting-edge researchers as well. The problem is there is no foolproof way to measure exactly when things happened hundreds of thousands of years ago, due to limitations on isotope, carbon dating, and other methods. they can be off by hundreds or thousands of years.
Reversal Timeframes
The timeframes involved with reversals vary, with research in 2014 showing the Matuyama-Brunhes transition completed in less than 100 years, displaying the abrupt and dynamic nature of some reversal events.'” Additional research conducted in the United States showed field change rates up to 6 degrees per day and | degree per week for two reversal events, demonstrating that a rapid directional change of the field is common.'°® There is building evidence and support for the prevalence of rapid directional change during geomagnetic reversals. While reversals can be abrupt events, other research has shown reversals completing on the order of several hundred to several thousand years.'’ The variation in reversal timescales underscores the variable and complex nature of the magnetosphere.
Conclusions
There is no mention I could find in this paper offering a confirmation of an Earth tilt of 90 degrees during full magnetic reversals. Although it was not included, it has been confirmed the Earth has tilted 90 degrees in the past by researchers, but the tilt frequency is very unclear.
In this regard there is tacit agreement with Kevin W Jameson’s book titled; The Great Crustal Shift Hoax. But Mr. Jameson and others do not disagree that magnetic transitions of some magnitude do occur approximately every 12,000 years.
The paper offers no refutation to the 30 to 50-year window, before extreme weather events overwhelm us. It offers some data in support of this hypothesis.
When it comes to reversal timeframes and establishing a timeframe for our anticipated excursion as the paper says, the Matuyama-Brunhes transition completed in less than 100 years, but, other research has shown reversals completing on the order of several hundred to several thousand years.'’ The variation in reversal timescales underscores the variable and complex nature of the magnetosphere. The Observer’s hypothesis on our anticipated reversal timeframe is under 200 years.
