US Regime Change Blueprint Proposed Venezuelan Electricity Blackouts as ‘Watershed Event’ for ‘Galvanizing Public Unrest’

The US-funded CANVAS organization that trained Juan Guaido and his allies produced a 2010 memo on exploiting electricity outages and urged the opposition “to take advantage of the situation…towards their needs”
By Max Blumenthal

A September 2010 memo by a US-funded soft power organization that helped train Venezuelan coup leader Juan Guaido and his allies identifies the potential collapse of the country’s electrical sector as “a watershed event” that “would likely have the impact of galvanizing public unrest in a way that no opposition group could ever hope to generate.”

The memo has special relevance today as Guaido moves to exploit nationwide blackouts caused by a major failure at the Simon Bolivar Hydroelectric Plant at Guri dam – a crisis that Venezuela’s government blames on US sabotage.

It was authored by Srdja Popovic of the Center for Applied Non-Violent Action and Strategies (CANVAS), a Belgrade-based “democracy promotion” organization funded by the US government that has trained thousands of US-aligned youth activists in countries where the West seeks regime change.

This group reportedly hosted Guaido and the key leaders of his Popular Will party for a series of training sessions, fashioning them into a “Generation 2007” determined to foment resistance to then-President Hugo Chavez and sabotage his plans to implement “21st century socialism” in Venezuela.



In the 2010 memo, CANVAS’s Popovic declared, “A key to Chavez’s current weakness is the decline in the electricity sector.” Popovic explicitly identified the Simon Bolivar Hydroelectric Plant as a friction point, emphasizing that “water levels at the Guri dam are dropping, and Chavez has been unable to reduce consumption sufficiently to compensate for the deteriorating industry.”

Speculating on a “grave possibility that some 70 percent of the country’s electricity grid could go dark as soon as April 2010,” the CANVAS leader stated that “an opposition group would be best served to take advantage of the situation and spin it against Chavez and towards their needs.”



Flash forward to March 2019, and the scenario outlined by Popovic is playing out almost exactly as he had imagined.

On March 7, just days after Guaido’s return from Colombia, where he participated in the failed and demonstrably violent February 23 attempt to ram a shipment of US aid across the Venezuelan border, the Simon Bolivar Hydroelectric Plant experienced a major and still unexplained collapse.

Days later, electricity remains sporadic across the country. Meanwhile, Guaido has done everything he can “to take advantage of the situation and spin it” against President Nicolas Maduro – just as his allies were urged to do over eight years before by CANVAS.

Rubio vows “a period of suffering” for Venezuela hours before the blackout
The Venezuelan government has placed the blame squarely on Washington, accusing it of sabotage through a cyber-attack on its electrical infrastructure. Key players in the US-directed coup attempt have done little to dispel the accusation.

In a tweet on March 8, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo framed the electricity outage as a pivotal stage in US plans for regime change:

Maduro’s policies bring nothing but darkness.

At noon on March 7, during a hearing on Venezuela at the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee, Sen. Marco Rubio explicitly called for the US to stir “widespread unrest,” declaring that it “needs to happen” in order to achieve regime change.

“Venezuela is going to enter a period of suffering no nation in our hemisphere has confronted in modern history,” Rubio proclaimed.

Around 5 PM, the Simon Bolivar Hydroelectric Plant experienced a total and still unexplained collapse. Residents of Caracas and throughout Venezuela were immediately plunged into darkness.

At 5:18 PM, a clearly excited Rubio took to Twitter to announce the blackout and claim that “backup generators have failed.” It was unclear how Rubio had obtained such specific information so soon after the outage occurred. According to Jorge Rodriguez, the communications minister of Venezuela, local authorities did not know if backup generators had failed at the time of Rubio’s tweet.

Back in Caracas, Guaido immediately set out to exploit the situation, just as his CANVAS trainers had advised over eight years before. Taking to Twitter just over an hour after Rubio, Guaido declared, “the light will return when the usurpation [of Maduro] ends.” Like Pompeo, the self-declared president framed the blackouts as part of a regime change strategy, not an accident or error.

Two days later, Guaido was at the center of opposition rally he convened in affluent eastern Caracas, bellowing into a megaphone: “Article 187 when the time comes. We need to be in the streets, mobilized. It depends on us, not on anybody else.”

Article 187 establishes the right of the National Assembly “to authorize the use of Venezuelan military missions abroad or foreign in the country.”

Upon his mention of the constitutional article, Guaido’s supporters responded, “Intervention! Intervention!”

Exploiting crisis to “get back into a position of power”
As Dan Cohen and I reported here at the Grayzone, Guaido’s rise to prominence – and the coup plot that he has been appointed to oversee – is the product of a decade-long project overseen by the Belgrade-based CANVAS outfit.

CANVAS is a spinoff of Otpor, a Serbian protest group founded by Srdja Popovic in 1998 at the University of Belgrade. Otpor, which means “resistance” in Serbian, was the student group that worked alongside US soft power organizations to mobilize the protests that eventually toppled the late Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic.

CANVAS has been funded largely through the National Endowment for Democracy, a CIA cut-out that functions as the US government’s main arm of promoting regime change. According to leaked internal emails from Stratfor, an intelligence firm known as the “shadow CIA,” CANVAS “may have also received CIA funding and training during the 1999/2000 anti-Milosevic struggle.”

A leaked email from a Stratfor staffer noted that after they ousted Milosevic, “the kids who ran OTPOR grew up, got suits and designed CANVAS… or in other words a ‘export-a-revolution’ group that sowed the seeds for a NUMBER of color revolutions. They are still hooked into U.S. funding and basically go around the world trying to topple dictators and autocratic governments (ones that U.S. does not like .”

Stratfor subsequently revealed that CANVAS “turned its attention to Venezuela” in 2005, after training opposition movements that led pro-NATO regime change operations across Eastern Europe.

In September 2010, as Venezuela headed for a parliamentary election, CANVAS produced a series of memos outlining the plans they had hatched with “non-formal actors” like Guaido and his cadre of student activists to bring down Chavez. “This is the first opportunity for the opposition to get back into a position of power,” Popovic wrote at the time.

In his memo on electricity outages, Popovic highlighted the importance of the Venezuelan military in achieving regime change. “Alliances with the military could be critical because in such a situation of massive public unrest and rejection of the presidency,” the CANVAS founder wrote, “malcontent sectors of the military will likely decide to intervene, but only if they believe they have sufficient support.”

While the scenario Popovic envisioned failed to materialize in 2010, it perfectly describes the situation gripping Venezuela today as an opposition leader cultivated by CANVAS seeks to spin the crisis against Maduro while calling on the military to break ranks.

Since the Grayzone exposed the deep ties between CANVAS and Guaido’s Popular Will party, Popovic has attempted to publicly distance himself from his record of training Venezuela’s opposition.

Today, however, Popovic’s 2010 memo on exploiting electricity outages reads like a blueprint for the strategy that Guaido and his patrons in Washington have actively implemented. Whether or not the blackout is the result of external sabotage, it represents the “watershed event” that CANVAS has prepared its Venezuelan cadres for.

China offers help to Venezuela to restore power

BEIJING (Reuters) - China offered on Wednesday to help Venezuela restore its power grid, after President Nicolas Maduro accused U.S. counterpart Donald Trump of cyber “sabotage” that plunged the South American country into its worst blackout on record.

Maduro, who retains control of the military and other state institutions as well as the backing of Russia and China, has blamed Washington for his nation’s economic turmoil and denounced opposition leader Juan Guaido as a puppet of the United States.

With the power blackout in its sixth day, hospitals struggled to keep equipment running, food rotted in the tropical heat and exports from the country’s main oil terminal were shut down.

Speaking in Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Lu Kang said China had noted reports that the power grid had gone down due to a hacking attack.

“China is deeply concerned about this,” Lu said.

“China hopes that the Venezuelan side can discover the reason for this issue as soon as possible and resume normal power supply and social order. China is willing to provide help and technical support to restore Venezuela’s power grid.”

He gave no details.

Power returned to many parts of the country on Tuesday, including some areas that had not had electricity since last Thursday, according to witnesses and social media.

But power was still out in parts of the capital of Caracas and the western region near the border with Colombia.

Information Minister Jorge Rodriguez said power had been restored in the “vast majority” of the country.

U.S. pulls diplomats from Venezuela, blackout continues
The blackout was likely caused by a technical problem with transmission lines linking the Guri hydroelectric plant in southeastern Venezuela to the national power grid, experts have told Reuters.

Maduro has blamed Washington for organising what he said was a sophisticated cyber attack on Venezuela’s hydroelectric power operations.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-vene ... SKBN1QU0ZM

So, Reuters's 'experts', whoever they are, contradict President Maduro & Reuters implies that 'he complains too much'. Reuters is a piece of shit.
Good on China, this is class war.

TRUMP PREPARES 500 MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE COUP IN VENEZUELA
13 Mar 2019 , 9:15 a.m. .

In his budget for fiscal year 2020, President Donald Trump has asked Congress on Monday to reserve 500 million dollars to "support the transition" in Venezuela, within the framework of a set of cuts to aid to Latin America. Trump's plan consists of a 23% cut for USAID and the State Department, in its line of redirecting the government budget to increase military defense expenditures.

In a letter addressed to Congress, the State Department, on behalf of its boss Mike Pompeo, expressed the need to have those resources to "support the people of Venezuela against tyranny." However, the ability to transfer those resources to support the "transition" was attributed, ahead of what the Trump Administration knows in advance: with the Congress divided, and the House of Representatives in the hands of the Democrats, it is uphill. that Trump's budget be approved as he presented it.

Other aspects of the plan include a reduction in aid to countries in Central America, with whom it maintains a hostile stance because it is the point of origin of the main migratory flows to the United States. The expansion of spending for the "fight against drugs" to Latin America is another topic, with Colombia receiving the majority of these resources (209 million dollars) to face the unstoppable expansion of drug trafficking.

From experience and physical evidence, since the first decade of the new century, US funding (through the USAID and the NED, for example) towards Venezuela has been used to advise and build laboratory parties, regime change agendas and insurrectional movements . Therefore, support for the "transition" is the last minute rhetorical figure to pay for the expenses of the coup d'état. Because if by good intentions, the US would have repealed the sanctions that prevent Venezuela from buying medicines, food and invest in improving its electrical system.

The Dems are 'on-board' with every sort of imperialist outrage, it's just Trump they don't like, differences of politics, not policy.

CNN REVEALS NEW DETAILS OF FAILED ASSASSINATION AGAINST MADURO
14 Mar 2019 , 10:20 pm .

The US network CNN, published an investigation in which again confirms the official version of the attempt to assassinate President Nicolás Maduro.

The revelation comes from an interview with a former Venezuelan soldier who contributed videos and photos of the group training in the "Colombian plains" to execute the failed assassination with drones. In these videos, collected by the CNN correspondent in Colombia, it can be clearly seen how drones are sent again and again as high as possible and then abruptly descending them to explode near the floor, exactly as they wanted to do in August of 2018.

The ex-military man, who also claims to be the organizer of the attack, confessed that the United States contacted the group after the attack on at least three occasions to learn details of the events. A few months before the financial portal Bloomberg reported that, in reality, Colombia and the United States were aware of the attack.

According to the unidentified former military officer, the risk of the failed attack assassinating other people was one that "they had to assume", emphasizing that "it hurts that the Venezuelan people are always the ones who must pay the consequences". A contradiction in every rule.

The organizer of the attack also pointed out that the drones and explosive devices smuggled into Venezuela, which puts into effect the role of Colombia and anti-Chavez leaders like Julio Borges and Juan Requesens in the orchestration and execution of the plan. The latter revealed last year that at the request of Borges allowed the entry of Henriberth Enmanuel Rivas Vivas, alias "Morfeo", who was in charge of executing the attack on the ground.

This revelation confirms, once again, the denunciations of the Venezuelan State about the frustrated assassination. A few months earlier, Bloomberg said the idea of ​​the attack came from a group in Miami. The government of Venezuela, for its part, holds the entrepreneur Osman Delgado Tabosky, owner of El Faro Media Group LLC , responsible for its financing. Supposedly to the inaugaración of this company attended Senator Marco Rubio.

Russian pranksters posing as Swiss president call Guaido, talk freezing Maduro’s ‘crime monies’

Russian pranksters posing as Swiss president call Guaido, talk freezing Maduro’s ‘crime monies’

The self-proclaimed ‘interim president’ of Venezuela, Juan Guaido, has fallen victim to a famous Russian prankster duo, discussing freezing Maduro's Swiss bank accounts and even sending them an “official request” to do so.
The comedic duo of two Russian pranksters – Vladimir ‘Vovan’ Kuznetsov and Alexei ‘Lexus’ Stolyarov – notorious for their high-profile pranks of politicians world-wide, released an audio, which purportedly captured their “talks” with Guaido on Thursday.

'Freeze all Venezuelan assets' – US regime-change hawk tells pranksters posing as Swiss president 'Freeze all Venezuelan assets' – US regime-change hawk tells pranksters posing as Swiss president
The prank victim apparently found the pranksters after the duo called the US Special Representative for Venezuela Elliott Abrams, impersonating the President of Switzerland, and the chief of the nation's Department of Finance, Ueli Maurer.

Shortly after the call, they were contacted by an “ambassador of the new Venezuelan government,” Carlos Vecchio, who then arranged talks with the ‘interim president’ himself. According to the pranksters, Guaido insisted on holding the “talks” only through Skype or WhatsApp for fear of wiretapping.

On February 20, ‘Maurer’ and Guaido talked about the “crime monies” of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, supposedly held in Swiss banks. The ‘Swiss president’ promised to freeze the accounts, claiming that of late the banks observed transfers from them to Russian and Chinese banks.

The pranksters reassured Guaido that he would be able to “manage” the frozen Venezuelan government accounts “as head of state.” “Excellent,” Guaido replied. Apart from that, the duo talked about another way, suggesting to simply create a personal account for Guaido and transferring Venezuelan state funds there.

To take action, the ‘Swiss president’ asked Guaido to send an “official” request, sending him a draft of it. The draft included a list of Swiss banks, where the “crime monies” are supposedly held – and cheekily included ‘Lexus Vovanial Bank Ltd.’ – a fictitious bank, based on the duo's nicknames.

While the prank was already a success, Guaido himself apparently added more hilarity to it, bragging to the press about getting in touch with the ‘Swiss president’ and stating that he was “doing everything possible to protect these assets that belong to the republic.” Switzerland, however, swiftly rebuked Guaido's claims, stating – obviously – that “there was no telephone contact between Mr. Guaido and President Maurer.”

The official statement by the real Swiss government, however, did not stop the prankster duo, who then again contacted Abrams and ‘Ambassador’ Vecchio, complaining about Guaido not being able to keep the “talks” private.

Surprisingly, the veteran meddler Abrams took the bait, replying to their email.

“Yes – that was an error on his part. We will of course keep everything confidential,” a screengrab, purportedly showing a reply from Abrams to ‘Maurer’ reads. The US Special Representative for Venezuela promised to tell Guaido “gently” that openly speaking to the press about such sensitive matters “should not be repeated.”

A similar response was provided by Vecchio, who reassured the ‘Swiss president’ that they “already took action” and such a blunder “will not happen again.”

As the fallout of Guaido's talkativeness was contained, the duo received English and Spanish versions of the “official document” from the ‘interim president’ – Lexus Vovanial Bank Ltd. included – screenshots provided by the pranksters show.

US opts for sacrificing his pawn in Venezuela
2019-03-16 12:53:29 / web@radiorebelde.icrt.cu


The United States decided to sacrifice its pawn in Venezuela

The United States decided to sacrifice its pawn in Venezuela, the self-proclaimed president, Juan Guiadó, because he already gave what he had to give for the interests of Washington and now he fell into disgrace.

This is considered by the analysis of the expert José Negrón Valera, published by the chain Russia Today, with assessments of the increasingly evident symptoms of the series of US coups from the shadow against Guaidó.

The first was on March 10, when the newspaper The New York Times revealed that it was one of the followers of Guaidó who set fire to one of the humanitarian aid trucks that tried to enter Venezuela on February 23, and not the Venezuelan armed force. as the opposition leader and his acolytes pretended to make see then.


It was one of the followers of Guaidó who set fire to one of the humanitarian aid trucks.

In a second blow against the self-proclaimed president, the business magazine Forbes was encouraged to talk about sabotage in the Venezuelan electricity grid, as denounced by the government of Nicolás Maduro , while Guaido has blamed the recent blackout on inefficiency and lack of investment, for a disastrous management of the Bolivarian authorities.



The third blow against the opposition leader was a report issued by CNN, with exclusive details of last year's plan to assassinate Nicolás Maduro with drones and a report that shows in parallel to Guaidó saying that the attack was an internal assembly, armed by the Venezuelan government to appear as a victim.

By echoing how US media refute the respective lies of Guaidó with three truths, José Negrón Valera's analysis published by Russia Today, considers that the opposition's mentors in Washington have delivered lethal blows.


CNN offers exclusive details of last year's plan to assassinate Nicolás Maduro with drones

Negrón Valera opined that there is a movement of the press that belongs to the media and corporate military-financial apparatus of the United States to hide the true responsibility of the White House, and even from Colombia, in the attack and the siege against Venezuela.

In his analysis for Russia Today, the analyst highlighted that the government of Donald Trump came out in the vanguard of the coup against Nicolás Maduro, in a public way, without staying in the rear as in other historical cases, but in a diplomatic, media and militarily way. , very clumsy at the time of treating the Venezuelan case.

Now, the White House has begun to realize that all this is a sword of Damocles that will be used against themselves when it comes to promoting an impeachment or impeachment against Trump, according to José Negrón Valera.

It is in this context that the media apparatus begins to move to exculpate the Trump government from any responsibility for such serious acts against Venezuela, and a brutal attack is launched against his pawn there, Juan Guaidó, according to the opinion of Negrón Valera .

US opts for sacrificing his pawn in Venezuela
The United States has changed its perspective and is opting for another type of much more veiled actions.

The commentator recalled that in the last week, the Western press went from calling Guaidó president in charge, to self-proclaimed president in charge, and now it is .... the 'Venezuelan'

Negrón Varela clarified that this is a very usual operation in the Western media, to model public opinion on any issue, and that in this case, with a movement, Juan Guaidó is separated from being that center and that military operative vanguard against Venezuela, after the plan of humanitarian intervention failed.

However, Negrón Varela warned that the United States has changed its perspective and is opting for another type of much more veiled, subversive, terrorist actions, even speaking of special operations forces, and Juan Guaidó is starting to feel uncomfortable.

DESERTERS OF THE ABANDONED FANB: ANOTHER CRACK TO THE "GUAIDÓ PLAN"
18 Mar 2019 , 12:46 pm .

In the context of last February 23, as one of the main objectives of the US strategy, an attempt was made to encourage the desertion of the largest possible number of military personnel of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB) to the opposition party, whose The most visible face today is that of Juan Guaidó.

They managed to get a small group to cross the Colombian-Venezuelan border, which was received at the time by José Manuel Olivares of Voluntad Popular and other deputies. That quota, at the end of this note, according to inaccurate numbers of the Colombian Foreign Ministry, reaches a thousand troops, which translates into just a minimum percentage of the approximately 230,000 troops that comprise FANB.

They promised that group of deserters lodging facilities, hospital care and food in Cúcuta and its surroundings, in exchange for putting at the disposal of a false leadership under Guaidó, who returned to Venezuela without addressing these military after a short Latin American tour.

Since then, Colombians living in cities and towns of Norte de Santander near the border have reported that both deserters and members of "La Resistencia" are interrupting daily life with violent actions, a question expressed by the mayor of Villa del Rosario municipality, Pepe Ruiz: "I ask the police to do the respective operations to ensure the peace and security of the inhabitants of the border area and people circulate daily around the place."

Meanwhile, from the UN, the ambassador of Venezuela in that instance, Samuel Moncada, blurted out to Elliott Abrams the creation of a mercenary army with "Venezuelan military deserters" as a curtain for an irregular war operation, however, after this Ex-FANB contingent will be expressed while "adrift and waiting for President Guaidó", things are not going to Washington as he projected them.

THE ABANDONED FOR THE FUTURE
This weekend some deserters gathered to show their discontent over the situation in that group is in shelters facilitated by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), one of them being the spokesman, identified as Sergeant Luis González Hernández, who told W Radio that the aforementioned agency requested the eviction of that contingent from the facilities that they lent to Juan Guaidó's team and to Colombia.

The most urgent request, aside from a response to the situation experienced by deserters, is the demand for "the presence of Guaidó, who faces" those who would compose his supposed private army.

José Manuel Olivares and Gabriela Arellano, sent by the National Assembly in contempt of Cúcuta and Villa del Rosario "have not resolved anything" in this context. In the middle of the neglect that the Venezuelan opposition has had towards this group, whose members explicitly exhorted to join their side, it has a precise symptom in the denunciation made by the defectors on the deaf ears of Guaidó to their requests.

In that sense, they ask for reciprocal loyalty to the Venezuelan opposition.

Abandoned in Colombia without much attention than the one provided by the local authorities and UNHCR, now they seek the support of Colombian media to draw the attention of the Venezuelan opposition and the United States, since through the regular channels they do not receive a response. Due to this scandal, precipitated by the bad strategies of Washington, the Foreign Ministry of Colombia was forced, by pressure, to issue a statement on the situation of deserters. He warns that, despite having helped this contingent, the Duque government needs help from the "international community".

Having no alternatives beyond the proclamations of the Colombian Chancellery, the image projected by this situation is the negligence and abandonment of a nucleus of deserters who placed themselves at the disposal of the "parallel government". The maneuver of Guaidó and his team unfolds in a vacuum that often leaves the antichavism leader in relation to his followers, who are continuously deceived, confused and abandoned to the chaotic strategy always dominated by the American establishment.

On other occasions, the opposition leadership has played with the expectations of its most reliable voters and supporters, giving hope and high possibilities to successive regime changes that fail to materialize. Since Nicolás Maduro assumed the presidency of the Bolivarian Republic in 2013, none of the coup-led scenarios promised by anti-Chavezism have been able to materialize.

In this way, the message to vox populi that they give to the FANB is the correct one if the strategy consists in disintegrating all energy and purpose for the greater cohesion of the Venezuelan army. The change of regime, thus, looks increasingly distant, situation crossed with the expectations that an irregular war with effective deserters could vanish.

After the electrical blackout caused by sabotage to the brain of the Venezuelan electrical system, public opinion has been discussed about the real possibility that such sabotage results from an electromagnetic attack directed against this fundamental system for the functioning of the country.

The E Bombs , or electromagnetic explosive devices are rudimentary weapons design and highly destructive potential. The first public and verifiable references to its existence and use in armed conflicts date back to 2001 when the United States included them in its ample arsenal at the service of preventive war in places like Iraq and Afghanistan.

Making use of design mechanisms conceived in the 50s, these coils that release a powerful electromagnetic pulse, manage to fry any electrical device that reaches its explosion, without generating other collateral damage, and facilitating operations that leave no trace, except for the absolute uselessness of the equipment that is within its radius of action.

MANUALS FOR YOUR HOME CONSTRUCTION
In September 2001, the famous magazine "Popular Mechanics" published the " Know-How ", released by Carlo Kopp, of making your electromagnetic bomb yourself, using only what is known as "electromagnetic flow compression generator", making use of a working principle discovered since the 50s.

At some point, the construction of an E Bomb can be something simple to anyone who wants to end the operation of one or more electrical appliances. Just using a coil and an explosive, whose size and cost will depend on the organization and the goals pursued by implementing this destructive technology.

HOW AN E BOMB OR ELECTROMAGNETIC PUMP WORKS
Let's go to the concrete, an e bomb is a coil that works in the following way:

The coil is constructed using copper conductor cables and a capacitor is installed that provides electrical energy to generate an electromagnetic field that remains stable.
A tube is inserted in the coil that is suspended leaving empty space between it and the coil, this tube is filled with explosives.
This explosive has a detonator, when performing the detonation the tube that is suspended expands and causes a short circuit in the coil.
This short circuit generates an intense electromagnetic pulse that causes the failure and disablement of electrical devices that are within reach.
THE Z PINCH , ANOTHER ROUTE OF GREATER COMPLEXITY
The Z Pinch or Zeta Pinch , obeys to a much more complex design than the E bomb of homemade manufacture. This device performs energy confinement by plasma clamping.

In this mode it is an object that can be of a much larger size but which in turn concentrates the energy in a filament (the size of a spool of thread). That energy is generated by the potential drop between two electrodes, which in turn creates a plasma that is heated by the joule effect.

The Z-pinch itself is not a weapon, it is a laboratory apparatus used to bend metals by means of electromagnetic fields and to raise the temperature of conductors such as tungsten. However, as a collateral effect of this process, a very high electromagnetic pulse is generated with effects similar to that of the E Bomb .

The Z machine, the largest in the world, whose electromagnetic field is very difficult to control, is located in Albuquerque, New Mexico and is used by the Sandia National Laboratory (USA) whose purpose, among others, is the computer modeling of nuclear weapons.

UNITED STATES AND ITS PREPARATION FOR THE ELECTROMAGNETIC ATTACK
In 1962, after the discovery of the generation of pulses as a result of electromagnetic flow compression, the United States carried out the Fishbowl operation where an atomic bomb was detonated 400 meters above the Hawaiian sky, creating false boreal aurorae. I call the "rainbow bomb", this experiment did not cause harm to the population but to the electrical appliances that serve the normal functioning of a city.

Another trial that has been recognized by the Department of Defense, occurred in 2012 in the desert region of Utah where a B-52 bomber launched a missile which it called "microwave missile" over an area of ​​4,000 square kilometers where electrical equipment was available that after the exercise stopped working.

In 2017, the BBC news agency published an article reviewing the preparation of the United States through the CHAMP project in which it developed high-powered microwave weapons. With the aim of stopping possible North Korean nuclear attacks, these missiles would leave the equipment necessary for the launching of nuclear weapons without the possibility of operating, without causing human damage.

ELECTROMAGNETIC ATTACKS THAT TURN OFF LIFE AS WE KNOW IT
Under the premise of avoiding direct damage to the health of the population, the development of electromagnetic weapons is kept discreetly as a valid option in the war in which, although they would not cause fatal injuries to humans, they would leave operation to "fry", all the electric and electronic tools that make up everyday life as we know it.

The effects of microwave missiles, or smaller electromagnetic pumps, as well as the effects of Z pinch , eliminate any possibility of sustaining our telecommunications systems, the operation of all systems that depend on the electric flow (water pumping, distribution of gasoline, banking operations), returning us at the beginning of the 20th century, thus altering our daily lives and the collective spirit deeply marked by the social relations created by global capitalism through electronic means.
