Summary

Our planet's magnetic shield is deteriorating rapidly, creating a dangerous vulnerability to solar storms of unprecedented power. Throughout history, events like the 1921 New York Railroad incident and the 1859 Carrington Event wreaked havoc on early technology.

Cultures across continents left warnings through winter solstice rituals and megalithic structures designed not for worship but as sophisticated energy channeling systems during cosmic upheavals. Their stone warnings remain while our understanding fades.

Military documents like CONPLAN 8888 reveal government preparations for phenomena beyond power outages. The magnetic north pole races toward Siberia at increasing speed, while the South Atlantic Anomaly grows larger each year.

The approaching plasma event threatens to do more than disable our technology—it will transform reality in ways our ancestors deeply feared.

0:00.0	In 1989, a solar storm hit Quebec.
0:05.0	The storm only lasted a few hours, but it knocked out power for 9 million people.
0:11.0	And this was a blessing. Without the Earth's magnetic field, the damage would have been much worse.
0:17.0	Our magnetic field protects us. It's been our shield for billions of years, stopping deadly radiation and keeping our planet
0:24.5	survivable.
0:25.5	But that shield isn't perfect, and sometimes it fails.
0:29.8	Scientists recently found proof inside an old stalagmite from a cave in China.
0:34.2	Earth's magnetic field can flip, not slowly over thousands of years, fast, sometimes
0:40.3	in just 100 years.
0:42.3	The last big flip happened 780,000 years ago, and we're overdue for a big one, but smaller
0:48.6	shifts, they happen much more often.
0:51.7	When the field flips, the shield weakens to about 10% strength. When it happens,
0:56.5	our defenses fail. Quickly, solar radiation hits the surface. Plasma from the sun floods
1:02.7	the atmosphere. Our magnetic field is weakening right now. It's already 10% weaker since the 1800s.
1:09.2	Over the South Atlantic, satellites have been disabled, and the North Magnetic Pole is moving
1:14.8	34 miles a year towards Siberia and moving faster every year.
1:19.6	Something is happening.
1:21.7	Our ancestors have legends about the last magnetic flip and danger from the sun.
1:26.8	The stories are terrifying. They knew this was
1:29.4	a cycle. They left warnings for future generations carved in stone, but those warnings
1:34.6	are being ignored. Maybe we should start paying attention, because the cycle is about to repeat. You know what I don't smell, even with spring and full bloom, that dreaded litter box.
1:56.0	And that's all thanks to Pretty Litter.
