    Interesting thoughts.

    What has been evident for some time, and has intensified greatly in recent months, is that many individuals from the ‘alternative media’, commentators, experts, journalists are clearly professing their Christian faith or converted, and identify the overarching spiritual struggle as the cause of all earthly events.
    I do not know how many of these people have always been believers in some way.
    However, I know that some of them found Jesus while searching for the truth and converted.
    Since I believe and hope in an illumination of conscience as a turning point, not only mentioned in Garabandal, but also Saint Sr. Faustina, Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerick and others did so, my personal interpretation of the conversion of political commentators with a wide (media) reach would also be that it is God's preparation of as many people as possible for illumination and conversion.

    Protecting electrical equipment from a Carrington-level event (a severe solar-induced geomagnetic storm) requires breaking the connection between your devices and long conductors, such as power lines, which act as antennas for induced currents
    . The most effective methods involve unplugging electronics, installing surge protection, and utilizing Faraday cages.
    Here is a breakdown of how to protect your equipment:

    1. Disconnect from the Grid (Most Important)
    The primary danger to household electronics is the surge induced in power lines, not the direct magnetic field hitting the device itself.
    • Unplug everything: Disconnect all sensitive electronics (computers, TVs, refrigerators, chargers) from wall outlets.
    • Unplug antennas and cables: Disconnect internet cables (coax), phone lines, and external antennas.
    • Turn off main breakers: If a major storm is imminent (2-4 days warning is likely), turn off your main home circuit breaker to isolate your home from the power grid.

    2. Use Faraday Cages for Sensitive Electronics
    For devices not plugged in, or for critical backup electronics, use a Faraday cage—a container that blocks electromagnetic fields.
    • DIY Method: Use a metal trash can with a tight-fitting metal lid. Line the inside with cardboard or wood to prevent the devices from touching the metal sides.
    • Aluminum Foil: Wrap sensitive, small electronics in multiple layers of aluminum foil, ensuring no gaps.
    • Commercial Bags: Purchase specialized Faraday bags or boxes designed for EMP/solar storm protection.
    • Test your cage: A simple test is to place a radio inside the container; if the signal is completely lost, the shield is working.

    3. Install Surge Protection
    While not a complete solution for a direct Carrington-level strike, surge protectors offer a first layer of defense.
    • Whole-house surge protector: Have a licensed electrician install a high-quality, lightning-rated surge protector at your primary electrical panel.
    • Plug-in suppressors: Use high-joule rated surge protectors for individual, sensitive devices.

    4. What to Protect
    Prioritize small, essential electronics that would be hard to replace:
    • Portable solar chargers and power banks
    • Ham radios, CB radios, or NOAA weather radios
    • Flashlights and LED bulbs
    • Key fobs for vehicles
    • Hard drives and laptops with backup data
    • Medical devices (CPAP machines, etc.)

    5. Monitor and Prepare
    • Stay informed: Watch space weather alerts from NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC).
    • Backup Power: Ensure you have non-electric or battery-powered alternatives available.
    • Automobile Safety: Modern cars have electronics that could be vulnerable, but their rubber tires provide some insulation, and they are generally less at risk than items connected to long, grounded power lines.
    Note on Timing: A Carrington-level event would likely be detected by satellites 1 to 3 days in advance, providing time to implement these measures.

    Yes we need to keep an eye on this sunspot over the next few days I'm hearing things like it's the biggest they have ever seen. Lord help us

    By coincidence, I had been reading about the Carrington Event a few days ago, and one piece of information I came across in one of the articles was that, on July 23, 2012, there was a solar storm of a magnitude similar to that of 1859, but it missed the Earth by a margin of nine days. I imagine, then, that the social, economic, technological, and logistical chaos resulting from such an event would have made the much-publicized Mayan prophecy for that year a very tangible reality.

    Moreover, many people expected 2012 to mark the beginning of the Antichrist’s reign, with the advent of a new world order that would embrace an emerging New Age spirituality. That did not happen. However, if a repetition of the Carrington Event were to occur, the resulting economic chaos would greatly facilitate the rise of a global political authority—at a time when we did not yet have to learn, from the pews of the Church, what “synodality” means.

    I just watched a portion of the video and found it horribly alarming that this Father believes that part of the chastisement is the complete annihilation of a large North American country, and that Pius XII, who opened the third secret, prematurely immediately said "Poor Canada". So, does that mean that Canada is one of the countries to be completely wiped off the planet? The faithful in that country have been under such persecution there in recent years and their government is virulently anti-Catholic, so I could see it being Canada, but I feel so sorry for the innocent living there.

    I don't know the astrophysics of it but since they see the Northern Lights more strongly in the North in a country like Canada I suppose it would effect them more?

    This is excellent. I notice he speaks of April as being the time of the illumination of conscience. Fr John from my local monastery said the same thing a month ago!!
    Also he speaks of everything coming apart and being shaken violently. 16 years ago I had a dream that was so vivid it never left me. I was standing in front of a huge plate glass window and I saw utter chaos. On the land and under the sea. It repeated three times. It seems to me that a voice spoke " "everything will be shaken loose".

    I can only beg God that it's this April, sooner rather than later. I, like many are mentally & physically fatigued. God is carrying us now. I know many are converting & reverting, but many still mock Him & mock Him HARD. SMH, sigh...

    42:51 It sounds like Fr. Pereira's prophecy of Catholics being persecuted mercilessly in the near future...

    When I listened to this yesterday I got a different sense. My sense of it was what he meant is we become no longer catholic because we lose the mass. The false mass takes over, people in general accept it and the church with the true mass becomes a small underground church.

    I often, more recently, see things differently. Why do we always think it bad to die? The innocent living there may receive a blessing to be called home and it is all of us who remain here that must deal with the continued evils in this world. My point is that we should never fear the Lord when He is calling us home but instead be grateful. Look to the heavens as St. Stephen did with great joy as the stones rained down on him.
