A GIANT RING OF ELLERMAN BOMBS

OH MY GOD

GEOMAGNETIC STORMS ARE POSSIBLE TODAY: NOAA forecasters say that minor G1-class geomagnetic storms are possible today, May 2nd, as a fast-moving stream of solar wind buffets Earth's magnetic field. There is a slight chance the storm could escalate to category G2. If so, auroras would be visible after nightfall in northern-tier US states.

A GIANT RING OF ELLERMAN BOMBS: Astronomers are monitoring the largest sunspot of 2025. Sunspot 4079 stretches more than 140,000 km from end to end and has two dark cores each large enough to swallow Earth. These dimensions make it an easy target for backyard solar telescopes. French amateur astronomer Philippe Tosi took a look and found a giant ring of Ellerman Bombs:


A handful of Ellerman bombs are circled for reference. The complete ring contains more than 100.

Ellerman bombs are magnetic explosions about one-millionth as powerful as a true solar flare. They look like pinpoints of light, flickering on and off in the sun's atmosphere. Named after physicist Ferdinand Ellerman who studied them in the early 20th century, a single Ellerman bomb releases about 1026 ergs of energy--equal to ~100,000 World War II atomic bombs. Tosi's photo captured about 100 of these bombs going off all at once.

Ellerman bombs are a sign of magnetic complexity in a sunspot. Opposite polarities bump together, reconnect, and--boom! A full-fledged flare may not be far behind. Solar flare alerts: SMS Text

Bonus: Something else is happening to this large sunspot. Its primary dark cores are slowly revolving like they're in mutual orbit. This 3-day movie from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory shows the phenomenon:

We don't know if they will complete a full revolution. However, these motions may be twisting the magnetic underpinnings of the sunspot group, creating a tension that makes solar flares more likely.

Don’t think you can hide with a VPN. Many of the outports that dump you on the internet in another country are mapped and monitored and because they know you are trying to hide, you become targeted for more data collection and monitoring. One company, M247, provides services for about 65% of VPNs. Your VPN might not log or collect your data, but someone else is watching you…

These techniques are used to monitor, alter or block your message with email, text messages, phone calls, physical mail, etc.

I have personally experienced phone calls people made to me never going through. I heard over speaker phone while on a separate VOIP call, a friend called me, my phone in front of me never rang, the voicemail picked up and my friend left a message. There was never any indication of a call or voice mail on my phone. It was as if it never happened. The same things have happened repeatedly with email, postal mail and text messages. The people trying to reach you think you are not being nice to them.



Mail in ballots were found unopened in a dumpster in Sonoma county, California around the 2020 election. Postal sorting machines can be programmed to look for ballots from anyone registered to a particular party and kick out the mailing piece. No one knows if their vote was counted or put in the trash. A “man-in-the-middle” attack can happen wherever there is a man in the middle.

Meta data is just as important as your actual message. Knowing who is talking to whom builds a map of the people you talk to. As the former head of the NSA says in this video “We kill people based on metadata”. Yes, he said it. Privacy is literally a matter of life and death.

Maximum privacy: No/minimal Big Tech apps. DeGoogle/DeApple your phone. Use a private network phone. Keep it in a Faraday Bag and powered down when not in use. Vote in person. Use a private network to stay off the internet and phone system. Never share your phone number or email address — these are used as unique identifiers to tag collected data to your record. Privateline.io doesn’t collect that info ever.
