With the capability to blow up targets from thousands of miles away, these satellites could recognize targets for Chinese land, sea and air assets to then strike with missiles and other armaments. (Related: U.S. Space Force: China and Russia are CONCEALING THREATS posed by their satellites)

China currently has approximately 350 satellites concentrated around the Indo-Pacific region. Not only do these satellites continuously supply information back to Chinese military chiefs and permit the accurate targeting of remote targets, but they would also make Western interference in the region much more complicated to carry out.

“The Chinese have demonstrated clear intent with what they are fielding in space, and that intent is for the projection of power in the Indo-Pacific… The Chinese are posturing forces in such a way to make the Indo-Pacific prohibitive in terms of U.S. and allied freedom of maneuver,” said Col. Raj Agrawal, commander of the U.S. Space Force Space Delta 2 unit.

Lt. Col. Travis Anderson, 75th Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Squadron commander, noted that China’s expanded space army “allows them to look into the Indo-Pacific and find the U.S. and allied forces’ ships.”

China’s constellation of military satellites growing much faster than that of the U.S.

Anderson added that China’s constellation of military satellites was also “growing much faster than that of the United States.

Lt. Col. Galen Thorp, commander of 1st Space Operations Squadron, said: “Their use of space extends their ability to target at longer distances. It is twofold. Their space-enabled capabilities could be used to target Taiwan directly.”

Thorp also stated that Beijing could expand the range of its ballistic missiles “to a distance that makes intervention more challenging” if America responded to an invasion of Taiwan.

“The ballistic range has been there for a long time, but the ability to precisely target beyond the horizon, beyond what you can see with traditional radars is what space for them has enabled,” Thorp added.

China views self-governing Taiwan as a breakaway province and has not excluded force to take the island.

Gen. Stephen Whiting, commander of U.S. Space Command, said China has built a “kill web” over the Pacific Ocean, with the aim of tracking and targeting enemy forces. A kill web is “a dynamic network that seamlessly integrates intelligence and warfare capabilities across various domains, including land, sea, air, space and cyberspace,” as stated by the U.S. Marine Corps.

“Frankly, China is moving at a breathtaking speed. Since 2018, China has more than tripled their on-orbit intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance satellites,” Whiting warned during the 39th Space Symposium.

“They are rapidly developing a range of counterspace weapons to hold at risk our space capabilities,” he added. “They’ve built a kill web over the Pacific Ocean to find, fix, track and, yes, target United States and allied military capabilities.”

(Mercola)—Investigative journalist Corey Lynn speaks with James White, Host of NorthWest Liberty News, about her bombshell report — Space: The New Frontier for the Central Control Grid.¹ In a nutshell, after extensive research, Lynn says she’s “100% convinced”² that globalists are building out the central operation for the control grid in space.

Smart cities, with connected smart meters, set up the infrastructure for widespread surveillance, while digital IDs keep everything — your finances, health information, employment history and social credit score — all in one place. This means globalists can monitor, and control, your spending and use of resources. But instead of this being run in individual cities, a space-based operation gives a wider umbrella of coverage — veritable “eyes in the sky.”³

“They’re consolidating a lot of responsibility and power under Space Force,” Lynn explains. The U.S. Space Force is the sixth branch of the U.S. military, and, in October 2023, it granted a $70 million contract to Space X for Starshield military satellites,⁴ which are intended to “support national security” via “Earth observation” and other measures.⁵

A Central Control Grid With No Jurisdiction

Organizations such as the World Economic Forum and many of the central banks are pushing the rollout of the globalist control grid. Once in place, it may be impossible or near-impossible to live without a digital ID and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).

Yet, Lynn notes, “It doesn’t seem as though CBDCs will be necessary for the master plan to lock into place — at least not immediately. Banks will be the driving force to bring everyone into the age of QR codes, biometrics and tokenization.”⁶ The reason why space makes the perfect spot to position the control grid is due to its lack of oversight and jurisdiction. In her report, Lynn explains:⁷

“What if you had the ability to construct the central operation center for the entire control grid from a location with no real jurisdiction and no accessibility or oversight? What if the massive power source you need to run this operation could be harnessed under the guise of ‘climate change’ in an expedited manner?

And, what if you could have full surveillance and weaponry at your disposal with an entire financial infrastructure in place whose data sits in the palm of your hand while you control the levers?”

The report cites more than 160 pieces of evidence showing how the “central infrastructure for the all-seeing, all-assets control grid is being built, a giant leap with the digital currency agenda.”⁸ Space-based data centers, powered by space-based solar systems will use satellites and blockchain to create a tamper-resistant, automated and permanent ledger for space governance.

“They can’t possibly build space-based data centers powered by space-based solar systems that are juicing satellites to keep the flow of data moving to special government-owned satellites without incorporating blockchain to maintain a record and run the world’s tokens of every single asset, including humans, now can they?” Lynn asks.⁹

The Infrastructure Is Already Being Laid Out

The standard narrative given by satellite and tech companies, along with space agencies and governments, Lynn explains, is that data centers in space, along with beaming energy from the sun down to Earth, are necessary to avoid environmental catastrophe:¹⁰

“It’s a great cover story. While some make it sound like this would be the expedited way to do it, which would give them their space control grid, others argue that we need both — solar in space and on land. This of course is to continue to capitalize on the industry on the earth plane, while also setting policies and regulations that destroy industries and people so that the space control grid can rule.”

Space-based solar power has been floated as a tool to replace fossil fuels since the 1970s. A September 2021 report¹¹ commissioned by the U.K. also suggests it could generate 10GW of electricity a year by 2050, which is about one-quarter of the U.K. ’s energy usage. Space-based solar power is also being positioned as a tool to power homes or entire countries, at half the price of electricity generated on Earth. Lynn continues:¹²

“In order to pull off a full digital currency system with blockchain, it would require populations to reduce their energy usage by 1/3rd because it is a massive power source drain. However, space-based solar systems to power satellites where the control grid would operate, could dramatically minimize the need to reduce power on earth while expediting the control grid in space …

Those owning this infrastructure could then technically sell the power to any country. Gosh, wouldn’t it be fun if that became the main power source and they just cut the beam whenever they wanted? It’s more likely a cover story to power the control grid in Space … After all, digital currency, blockchain, and tokenization require an endless supply of power to run.”

Space-based solar power initiatives are already underway in Japan, China, Russia, Australia, Britain, Saudi Arabia and the U.S. In the U.S., the Space Wireless Energy Laser Link (SWELL) program was launched in March 2023. According to Lynn:¹³

“By utilizing laser transmitters and photovoltaic receivers, they established power beaming links, meaning they were able to deliver energy through electromagnetic waves instantly. They claim this is safe and can be used to distribute power on the moon, other places in space, and eventually to earth from satellites. By July they reported that they had surpassed 100 days of successful on-orbit laser operations.

… It’s clear that there is a race to provide power in space, but they may just carry out some of these ‘power beams’ to earth as a new money laundering industry and for cover. One question is, how will all of these electromagnetic waves and lasers impact airlines, birds, or people? More concerning is whether these electromagnetic beams could come with a host of mind-altering frequencies?”

Satellites Have the ‘Most Important Role’ in the Control Grid Build-Out

Satellites have a starring role in the globalist control grid, and they’re being rapidly launched into space. In 2022, more satellites were launched — 2,474 to be exact — than any other prior year, and as of June 2023, there were 11,330 satellites orbiting space. By the end of the decade, there could be up to 150,000 satellites in space.

“It is increasing exponentially, with a 53.84% increase in communications satellites, 13.30% increase in earth observation satellites, and 7.53% increase in technology development/demonstration satellites since January 2022,” Lynn notes. “The U.S. outpaces every other country by nearly eight times the number of satellites in space, with China, the United Kingdom and Russia following behind.”¹⁴

Meanwhile, WEF rolled out the first Space Sustainability Rating system (SSR) to reduce debris in space, and the $350-billion space industry is expected to rise to more than $1 trillion by 2040.¹⁵ All of the space companies — the largest of which are Boeing, SpaceX, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Blue Origin, Sierra Nevada, Astra, Virgin Galactic and General Dynamics — are eager to get a piece of this pie. Lynn explains:¹⁶

“Satellites store and move data, blockchain is making its way into this data, the digital financial system is accelerating, space fence is surveilling, space-based solar and data systems are being constructed, and the laws (or lawlessness) of running this full operation in space is on their side, which coincides perfectly with the many immunities and privileges that central banks and numerous organizations already enjoy.

Imagine running a control grid from space, complete with global surveillance, the ability to generate 24/7 power, to hold and store all data, to manipulate the weather and atmosphere, to have weapons that can pulse frequencies to alter behaviors or incinerate blocks instantly with directed energy weapons. Just imagine. It’s all out on the table and the competition is palpable.”

Space Fence — The World’s Most Advanced Radar

An estimated 200,000 pieces of space debris between 1 and 10 centimeters (0.4 and 4 inches) are floating in space. Another 15,000 pieces of space junk larger than 10 centimeters (cm) (4 inches) across are also being tracked by the United States Space Surveillance Network (SSN). In terms of space debris smaller than 1 cm, the numbers could be in the millions.¹⁷

Once in orbit, the debris doesn’t necessarily stay there. Junk that’s low — below 600 km (375 miles) — will orbit for a few years before falling back to Earth. But space junk that’s in orbit 1,000 km (600 miles) in space may circulate for hundreds of years.¹⁸ Once in space, even tiny pieces of debris smaller than 1 mm (0.04 inch) can be catastrophic if a collision occurs.

Lockheed Martin’s Space Fence, operated by the U.S. Space Force, was introduced as an advanced tool to keep tabs on space debris. Described as the “world’s most advanced radar,” the system can detect, track and measure space objects, including satellites and other debris in low Earth orbit.

Lockheed Martin reports, “According to the Space Force, the system is the most sensitive search radar in the SSN, capable of detecting objects in orbit as small as a marble in low Earth orbit (LEO).”¹⁹

But Lynn points out, “Space Fence isn’t just for tracking debris. The 20th Space Surveillance Squadron at Eglin Air Force Base makes up a 250-member squadron that conducts around the clock command and control operations of two weapon systems: the phased array radar and Space Fence.”²⁰

Can the Control Grid Be Stopped?

Lynn stresses that her report isn’t intended to invoke fear but rather raise awareness of what globalists are up to — and provide advance knowledge in the hopes of derailing some of these plans:²¹

“It is clear that there is both a Space race and digital currency race taking place simultaneously. Whereas, they don’t need the CBDCs in place to lock in the control mechanisms, they intend to piggyback it on to the Fast Payment Systems and already have it pretty well set to go once they have the green light …

It is also evident that they still intend to use the banks to drive QR codes and biometrics, which will ultimately act as the Digital ID or “hall pass.”

… The Space Military Industrial Complex is in high gear, with a lot more responsibilities being transferred over to Space Force. The U.S. and other countries have committed a lot of money to building out infrastructure and loading the skies with satellites and surveillance systems.

Though they all have common goals, there is definitely competition. The level of weaponry and control mechanisms already in place is evidence that they aren’t messing around.

Based on white papers, funding, executive orders, and documents pertaining to nanotechnology, biosecurity, brain chips, and the ability to transfer thoughts and communications from human to human through tech, the transhumanism agenda seems more and more plausible by the day. Robots and AI are destined for our future based on the speed at which they are rolling out machine learning and other tech.

Taking into account all of the information in this report, and much that didn’t even make it into the report, it is my opinion that they are building the main central operations for the control grid in Space, equipped with full blown surveillance, nodes throughout every city, data centers, the internet, solar systems to power satellites and data centers, a suite of weaponry, a blockchain-based financial infrastructure, and likely equipping cell phones with additional hardware and software that has biometrics and integrates better with their satellite surveillance system. It’s all very clever.”

This may leave you wondering, what can be done? Get yourself out of the control grid as much as possible. On a financial note, finance guru Catherine Austin Fitts — publisher of The Solari Report²² — recommends thinking small and spreading your cash around in different places, including outside of the banking and brokerage system.

Keep cash on hand in your home, stored in a fireproof safe or two; cash can also be stored in a depository, a local bank and a safe deposit box at a local bank — or all of the above. Use cash for everything you can, and don’t support establishments that have gone cash-free. Shop small and local, including for your food, supporting local farmers instead of corporate giants.

You can also ditch your smart phone, which Lynn describes as a “surveillance weapon and beyond.” All of these actions — if done by enough people — can have a powerful effect to protect freedom and autonomy. Lynn says:²³

“I believe that everything we do to not comply with tyrants makes an impact, getting out important information is critical, and above all — moving to a higher consciousness and recognizing our true innate power and the ability we have to manifest the reality we want for our future — is by far the most powerful too[l] in our toolbox.”

The significance of this event lies in the potential impact of these powerful bursts of energy on various systems. NASA noted in a statement that these solar flares can disrupt radio communications, electric power grids, navigation signals, and pose risks to both spacecraft and astronauts. Following this particular solar flare, radio frequency blackouts were reported across the United States.

This is likely one of the largest solar radio events ever recorded. Radio communication interference with aircraft were reported by multiple NWS Center Weather Service Units (CWSU) co-located at FAA facilities. See https://t.co/U2jmmJNjJV for full story. pic.twitter.com/tAiLovhCUw

While such events are rare, the consequences of extreme coronal mass ejections (CME), large bursts of plasma from the Sun, can be severe. In a worst-case scenario, they have the potential to cause months-long blackouts on Earth, resulting in billions of dollars in damages and harm to satellites.

A recent study from Lancaster University, published on Monday, added another layer of concern by revealing that solar storms could induce errors in railway systems. The study highlighted that in extreme cases, these storms could alter train signals from red to green, introducing a new dimension of risk to transportation infrastructure.

The Sun’s activity is measured in 11-year cycles, and solar flares are classified based on their intensity, ranging from the weakest (B class) to C, M, and the most powerful (X). NOAA scientists have categorized Thursday’s solar flare as an X-class event, marking it not only as the largest within the current Solar Cycle 25 but also the most substantial since September 2017.

Interestingly, while CMEs can pose threats, they also have the potential to enhance natural phenomena such as auroras. This particular solar flare has raised the possibility of residents in New England witnessing the northern lights, according to reports from CBS News.

The general warned that China is the “most immediate threat” to U.S. operations in space given its development of technologies such as lasers to disrupt satellite sensors, electronic warfare jammers, and even building crafts that can potentially disrupt rival orbiting platforms.

Saltzman stated that China’s ultimate goal is to become the most dominant space-faring nation by 2045, a part of its plan for a fully modernized, world-class military, the UK’s Daily Mail noted.

“Over the last six months, China conducted 35 launches adding advanced communications and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) satellites to their orbital architecture,” he noted in a written statement to the Senate Armed Service Subcommittee on Strategic Forces earlier this week. “Of China’s over 700 operational satellites in orbit, 347 are People’s Liberation Army ISR platforms providing optical, radar, and radio-frequency capabilities which track the Joint Force worldwide.”

Senior U.S. commanders have issued repeated warnings that China’s advancements in space technology, such as the development of reusable rockets, pose a threat to U.S. dominance in space. Chinese officials have even compared the moon and Mars to the disputed islands in the South China Sea that Beijing is trying to assert its sovereignty over, the report said.

“Both China and Russia continue to develop, field and deploy a range of weapons aimed at U.S. space capabilities,” Saltzman told the Senate panel. “The spectrum of threats to U.S. space capabilities includes cyber warfare activities, electronic attack platforms, directed energy lasers designed to blind or damage satellite sensors, ground-to-orbit missiles to destroy satellites and space-to-space orbital engagement systems that can attack U.S. satellites in space.”

He added that both Russia and China have studied how the U.S. has become reliant on its satellites to conduct warfare.

“Whether it’s our precision navigation and timing, whether it’s satellite communications, the missile warning that we rely on and the intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance persistence that we have with space capabilities… they know we rely on that and so if they can blind us, if they can interfere with those capabilities, or God forbid, destroy them completely, they know that that will diminish our advantages and put the joint force at risk,” said the four-star Space Force commander.

“So I can see interfering with, I can see blinding, I can see some of those grey area kinds of attacks on our capabilities to try and put us behind the eight ball,” he noted further.

China’s rapid economic growth in recent years has allowed them to invest heavily in its space program, leading to significant advancements in its space military capabilities. As China races to the final frontier, its space program has become a point of interest for military analysts and governments around the world.

With the launch of Beijing’s first space station and the successful landing of a rover on the far side of the moon, China has demonstrated its ability to compete with other space-faring nations. However, their military activities in space have raised concerns and sparked debates about their intentions and the potential for an arms race in space.

As for the U.S., Saltzman said the Pentagon will be switching from bigger, more vulnerable geostationary satellites to constellations of smaller satellites that will be deployed in low-to-medium earth orbit.

“With regards to grappling satellites and pulling them out of orbit, much tougher to deal with when you have less than maneuverable older legacy satellites,” he told senators. “So again, shifting to a proliferated [low earth orbit] constellation where you don’t have what Gen. Hyten called a ‘big juicy target’ sitting there in a [geostationary orbit] makes that a much tougher proposition for them to execute against.”

Although the shockwave’s origin is unknown, astronomers think it came from an ejection of energetic and highly magnetized, superheated gas discharged from the sun, which is also called a coronal mass ejection (CME).

According to Space Weather, the ejection may have been unleashed from sunspot AR3165, which fired at least eight solar flares into space on December 14 that caused blackouts over the Atlantic Ocean. Even though scientists are not yet sounding the alarm, a crack can remain open for hours and allow solar winds to flow through.

The sunspot was seen sizzling on December 14 and then discharged an M6-class explosion that struck Earth. M-class flares are classified as medium-sized but these occurrences can create short radio blackouts like what happened over the Atlantic.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Solar Dynamics Observatory, a probe analyzing Earth’s sun, caught the eruptions from the sunspot – a dark area cooler than other portions of the surface, which pours out streams of plasma.

Brilliant flashes of light were spotted coming from the sunspot, which possibly sent the shock wave toward Earth. Shock waves happen when a rapid pulse of solar wind rakes through the lagging solar wind. They are made up of compressed and heated gases.

CMEs can expel billions of tons of corona material from the sun’s surface. The material contains plasma and magnetic fields. These eruptions have the power to cause space weather that can intervene with satellites and power grids on Earth and can be detrimental to unprotected astronauts.

Earth’s magnetosphere is situated in its magnetic field, which stretches thousands of miles into space. Its magnetism affects everything from worldwide communication to animal migration and weather patterns. The sun appears to be moving into an active period of its 11-year cycle of activity that started in 2019 and is predicted to peak in 2025.

Solar flares, which are blasts of electromagnetic radiation that travel at the speed of light, normally reach Earth within eight minutes of appearing from the sun’s atmosphere. The most powerful class is X flares, followed by M class ones, which are the ones seen on December 14.

“Three more M flares: An M6, M3 and M2 all from AR3165. That makes 8 M flares so far today. They seem to be getting bigger, is an X flare in the offing? Stay tuned,” Solar physicist Keith Strong wrote on Twitter.

Shock waves could trigger geomagnetic storm similar to Carrington Event

The shock wave that cracked Earth’s magnetosphere could trigger geomagnetic storms. These geomagnetic storms can warp Earth’s magnetic field and send satellites crashing to the planet. They can also destroy electrical systems and disable the internet.

Geomagnetic storms happen after a solar flare if the exchange of energy from the sun reaches the space surrounding Earth through solar wind. The biggest geomagnetic storm in recent history was the Carrington Event in 1859, which unleashed roughly the same energy as 10 billion one-megaton atomic bombs.

After crashing into Earth, the strong stream of solar particles fried telegraph systems around the globe and created auroras brighter than the light of the full moon that appeared as far south as the Caribbean.

If a similar incident were to occur today, scientists warned that it would make trillions of dollars worth of damage, spark widespread blackouts and imperil thousands of lives.

NASA reported that a geomagnetic storm in 1989 ejected a billion-ton plume of gas that produced a blackout across the entire Canadian province of Quebec. But this may not even scratch the surface of what the sun is capable of hurling at Earth.

Scientists are also examining the cause of a series of unexpected and massive spikes in radiation levels registered in ancient tree rings across Earth’s history. The theory is that the spikes could have originated from solar storms 80 times more forceful than the Carrington Event.

Everyone within hearing distance of any news outlet collectively held their breath in a brief but excruciating period of silence that had followed a laconic exchange of technical data, relaying positions, speeds, and the operating condition of equipment that was highly advanced for its time. And then, at 4:53 pm Eastern, a message resounded across the globe “Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed!” And life on this planet would never be the same.

For the first time in history, human beings had landed a spacecraft on another world. Within hours, human footprints would be present on the surface of the Moon, as Apollo 11 Commander Neil Armstrong stepped down the ladder of the Lunar Module and walked on a truly unearthly landscape. The event was the culmination of a National effort spanning the decade of the 1960s, beginning in May of ’61 when President John F. Kennedy challenged the Nation to reach the Moon “before this decade is out.”

Through the turmoil of the era, and despite a major setback in January of 1967 when three Apollo astronauts died in the launchpad fire of Apollo 1, Americans rallied and persevered, which in former days had been their way.

Apollo 11 achieved President Kennedy’s milestone with barely four months to spare. Yet during that remaining four months of the decade, another Apollo mission again succeeded in landing on the Moon and returning safely to Earth. With the December 1972 voyage of Apollo 17, the last Moon mission, a total of twelve Americans had actually visited the lunar surface, six of whom rode in vehicles designed for traversing Earth’s planetary neighbor. In typical American fashion of the day, Kennedy’s goal had not merely been met, it was vastly exceeded.

Of course the same forces were at work to undermine that great effort which are now wreaking havoc on our Nation. Thankfully, until recent times, the inherent decency and moral certitude of Americans had not been sufficiently eroded to allow such a malignancy to prevail. Still, the era was not without its disinformation and controversy.

The single biggest instigator of discord over America’s Moon program was the Soviet Union. Having launched the first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1, into orbit in October of 1957, and having put a human being into orbit nearly a year before America was able to do so, the Soviets and their media propagandists (many of whom were already infiltrating American “news” organizations) gleefully trumpeted the “superiority” of collectivism for ostensibly advancing the human condition through technology. Yet Kennedy’s challenge, and America’s response to it, proved that a free society could indeed advance further and faster, when given the incentive to do so.

Not willing to simply accept defeat, the Soviets initiated a two pronged strategy, in hopes of demoralizing the Americans. First, upon realizing that their own efforts to beat us to the Moon were doomed, they attempted several unmanned missions by which they had hoped to land there and return a tiny sample of Moon rock back to Earth ahead of Apollo. At that point they would have claimed victory, with their dutiful minions happily echoing.

Here again, their technology was simply not up to the task. So as those hopes faded, they unleashed their backup plan. Sadly, they had much greater success with this one, since it didn’t involve technology, but instead relied on their ability to spread propaganda among a sometimes gullible, sometimes willingly complicit leftist American press.

Suddenly, in the final months before the triumphal mission of Apollo 11, disparaging claims began to be leveled by Americans who not coincidentally happened to be Soviet sympathizers, to the effect that the money allocated to the Space Race was being misused. The narrative was that it could do “more good” if it was passed out in welfare and other social programs here on Earth.

And not surprisingly, the “usual suspects” were happy to grandstand on that basis, ultimately carrying the water for the Soviets and other anti-Americans everywhere. By the time of Armstrong and Aldrin’s walk, the leftists had made enough noise to be able to claim the mission, a triumph of American engineering and American resolve, as “controversial.”

Since then, the overwhelming media silence on the event as a victorious milestone in the annals of our Nation has caused many to virtually forget all about it, while sadly allowing others of appallingly deficient scientific background to make absurd claims that it never happened. Like the Nazi Holocaust, those who actually beheld the Moon Program as it transpired are fewer in number with the passage of years. Eventually, not enough people will remain to bear personal witness to it, and if the powers that be want it to be forgotten or swallowed up in conspiracy theories, that will be its fate.

But American Patriots need not allow such a scenario to befall us just yet. Enough remember the struggle, the achievements, the failures, and ultimately the successes to celebrate that great moment for humanity, and for our Nation. On the front leg of that first lunar lander was a plaque which read “HERE MEN FROM THE PLANET EARTH FIRST SET FOOT UPON THE MOON, JULY, 1969 A.D. WE CAME IN PEACE FOR ALL MANKIND.” Americans should shun the critics and the skeptics, and once again fly our flags in commemoration and celebration, this July 20.
