No kidding. They(Drudge) are another mouth of the CIA, which is why I'm wondering what the "solar flare" really means.
All these scares we've been getting for so long, and which turn out not to come true, are part of social engineering. They want to instill a bug out mentality. Not sure why; but it could be that there may come a time when they want to shift large populations, and the easiest way to do that is get people to move themselves.
A frantic friend who absorbs gateway pundit the way cacti absorb dew, and who is always warning me to stock up on food and water, positively busted my butt the other night, telling me to charge all my electronic gadgets because the solar flare blackouts are coming. I get other emergency messages from her, telling the grid is going down, etc. She's obsessed with this nonsense.
How about this? They announce a coming horror, and tell everyone to evacuate. You bug out, and never see your home again because someone else is living in it, and you cannot escape your "emergency shelter" - if you are even alive. I think I'd rather stay in my home, and die in it if I have to, than go where "they" direct me.
