At around 6:18 pm Pacific Time (2:18 am GMT) my computer's UPS started going crazy. It was responding to a series of sudden pulses on the line. These pulses were very short and there was no dimming or brightening of the lights. There was a distinct pattern of 3 sharp drops evenly spaced and about a second apart, then a pause of perhaps 3 seconds, and this pattern repeated. After 2 or 3 rounds I reached for the power bar and shut it off.

We often have power blips that my UPS picks up, but NEVER anything like this, and this UPS is on 15 hours a day, 7 days a week. But this was clearly not your usual branch-on-the-line glitch. It was very unusual in both its sharpness and regularity.

The think the coincidence of this happening within minutes of the start of the war makes it look connected and should cause us to do a little homework.

Oh yes, and there was also one single dip about 45 minutes before this happened, and another after that, I think it was about 15 minutes before.

Did they use something that affected the ionosphere - like maybe ebombs? Or maybe (more likely I think) are they using HAARP as an ionospheric weapon? If they had to draw some power from the grid for this, British Columbia, being south of Alaska, might notice it.

I was rather worred at first that this might be a series of electromagnetic pulses from something happening on the US West Coast, but the sky didn't light up in the west ;-)

So this post is just a heads up to watch for the use of electromagnetic weapons in Iraq.

I see Iraqi state radio got shut down. Hmmm...
