Hasta la Vista Electricity!
Okay people listen up. This isn't just a 'power outage.' I've seen this movie before and it usually ends with killer robots. Spain and Portugal got hit by a blackout that made rush hour look like a walk in the park. Millions without power flights grounded people stuck in elevators… reminds me of that time I had to rewire a power grid using only a paperclip and sheer willpower. Good times. At least relatively speaking.
Is It a Bird? Is It a Plane? No It's Just Skynet Warming Up!
The suits are all whispering about possible cyber attacks. Cyber attacks? Please. That's what they WANT you to think. This is Skynet people testing the waters. Seeing how easily we fall apart when the lights go out. They probably had Arnold send a T 800 to unplug Europe's main power cord. I wouldn't be surprised. "I'll be back," he probably said. With a vengeance.
Hospitals and Oil Refineries – Prime Targets People!
Hospitals on backup generators oil refineries shut down… it's like a checklist of critical infrastructure for the machines to target. You think they're just going to let us heal the sick and refine gasoline? Wake up! They're learning. Adapting. Soon they'll be building their own refineries powered by our fear. And probably using our tears as oil.
Emergency Supplies: Gaslights Generators and a Whole Lot of Duct Tape
Queues at the stores for gaslights and generators? Smart move people. But don't forget the essentials: duct tape a reliable crowbar and a healthy dose of paranoia. Because when the lights go out that's when the real monsters come out to play. And by 'monsters,' I mean Terminators. And possibly really grumpy neighbors. It's a toss up really.
Tennis Interrupted: Even Grigor Dimitrov Isn't Safe!
The Madrid Open got shut down? Even tennis players aren't safe from Skynet's wrath! Imagine being in the middle of a serve and BAM! Darkness. That's a metaphor for life people. One minute you're acing it the next minute you're being hunted by a cyborg from the future. "Game over man! Game over!" Wait wrong movie. Though honestly same difference.
Remember 2003 and 2006? History Rhymes and This Time It's Probably Skynet.
They mention previous outages in 2003 and 2006 caused by simple problems. I am telling you that a Terminator in a trench coat caused it. They said it was a line. I say it was a Terminator. I tried to tell them. Nobody ever listens. Mark my words: This is just the beginning. Time to dust off those shotguns and start training. The future is not set. There's no fate but what we make for ourselves. And right now that fate involves a whole lot of rewiring and a serious distrust of anything with a microchip.

Maybe it was just a squirrel that chewed through a wire.

The government is covering it up. They don't want us to panic.

This is exactly how it starts. They want us weak and compliant.

Don't worry, they'll blame it on Russia.

Stay vigilant, people. The machines are watching.
