Remember the blackouts? 4 countries within a couple of months of each
other having massive power cuts? What on earth is going on, you are
telling me it was a co-incidence? I do not think so.
Was it a test to see how the public would act, or was it sabotage or
was it something else. Below is a mention of one of my "bizarre"
theories in The SUN newspaper.

CONSPIRACY THEORIES RUN WILD OVER BLACKOUTS
THE electricity blackouts that brought New York, London, Copenhagen
and Italy to a standstill have the conspiracy theorists working
overtime.
From cries of an alien invasion to the rise of a new world order,
the doom and gloom merchants cannot get enough.
When 57million Italians suffered power cuts at the weekend, it was
the FOURTH time in SIX weeks a Western nation had been plunged
into
darkness.
The cuts, which have affected more than 100million people, started
in August when New York and much of north-east America was blacked
out.
Within days London and southern England suffered a similar power
failure, then Denmark and its capital Copenhagen followed suit.
But is it just coincidence, the groaning of long outdated and
creaking power grids, or are there really dark forces at work?
Secret
The Internet is buzzing with wild theories and bizarre rumours.
One of the most popular is that the Western nations have secretly
organised the blackouts as dummy runs against terror attacks.
One US web user said on a chat site: "There's a good chance this was
orchestrated to test public response and as a reminder to be
prepared."
Others believe a top secret US military experiment is to blame,
suggesting it had affected the Earth's magnetic field which caused
the cuts.
One Net nerd has even written an essay titled Did A Secret Military
Experiment Cause The 2003 American Blackout?
Another web surfer called Keith put it down to the rise of a new
global power. He said: "Power cuts in the US, the UK and now Italy.
Is the new world order up to something?"
Others attributed the blackouts to aliens taking over the world. One
conspirator said: "The aliens transmit large amounts of electricity
into power relay stations and blow out their circuit breakers. It's
all part of their invasion plan and every industrial country will be
affected."
Perhaps the most bizarre explanation came from a conspirator simply
known as
Acoloss, who said: "Maybe
electricity is a form of life and
it's become aware."
But last night electricity suppliers insisted there was a rational
explanation to the cuts. National Grid Transco spokesman Chris
Mostyn
said: "The British blackout had nothing to do with terrorism or
aliens. It was a technical fault."
But for conspiracy theorists, this explanation is just another
example of how we are being kept in the dark.
