Packard Motors‚ an American luxury automobile company that first produced automobiles in 1899‚ is on the verge of manufacturing vehicles in Ohio. One of the “Three Ps” – alongside Peerless Motor Company and Pierce-Arrow – the Packard Motor Car Company gained a reputation for building high-quality luxury automobiles pre-WWII. “Owning a Packard was considered prestigious‚ and surviving examples are found in museums‚ car shows‚ and automobile collections‚” Wikipedia writes. “Packard vehicles featured innovations‚ including the modern steering wheel‚ air-conditioning in a passenger car‚ and one of the first production 12-cylinder engines‚ adapted from developing the Liberty L-12 engine used during World War I to power warplanes‚” it added. “The handmade vehicles were exported in record numbers to Europe and competed successfully with Rolls Royce and Mercedes Benz‚” Cleveland.com states. “After surviving two world wars and the swings of the auto market‚ the last true Packard rolled off the assembly line on June 25‚ 1956. The company closed in 1958 after a failed strategic takeover of Studebaker Corporation‚” Packard Motors writes. Now‚ a 1934-style convertible could bring the company back to life. A 1934-Style Packard Motor Car Will Soon Be Rolling Off A Production Line In Ohio Again https://t.co/q3N809QaNp — zerohedge (@zerohedge) December 11‚ 2023 “Packard Motors is the revival of the Packard Motor Car Company. We predict your pleased surprise the first time you experience our extraordinary combination of exclusive American style and market-defining inventions. We believe you will be just as pleased by Packard’s prestigious timepieces. See how luxury auto-making was defined in the show of cars below and visit us for the experience of a lifetime‚” Packard Motors writes on its website. From Packard Motors: Packard Motors is an American luxury car and timepiece manufacturer based in Medina‚ Ohio USA. Founded by Mr. Scott Andrews in 2019‚ the company is continuing the rich history and first class standards of the Packard Motor Car Company founded in 1899. Throughout its history‚ Packard has been noted for its continued participation in motor engineering and fine quality‚ with many electrical and automotive engineering firsts and vast American heritage. Packard road cars are generally seen as the American symbol of speed‚ luxury‚ and wealth. To date‚ Packard is revered as the world’s most inspiring automotive brand throughout modern history. Join us as we embark on a new beginning in the automotive industry. Cleveland.com provided additional details about the revival story: But how did this revival come to be? Why Packard? Why Medina? The opening scene of this story began in 2019‚ when internet consultant Scott Andrews was driving to a job and saw a car for sale on the side of the road. He was intrigued by the look of the car‚ but didn’t recognize the brand. He called his father‚ a lifelong auto mechanic. “Have you ever heard of Packard?” he asked. His father was astonished that they had never discussed the iconic American luxury automobile. And the adventure began. Andrews‚ who grew up in Brook Park and lives in Chagrin Falls‚ learned that Packard was not only an American car‚ but was created in Warren‚ Ohio — home of the National Packard Museum. “I fell in love with the Packard history‚” he said. “What really impressed me was that most of the innovations made in the automobile were patented and brought to the market by Packard.” Inventor James Ward Packard joined his older brother William Doud Packard in founding the Packard Electric Company in 1890‚ where they manufactured incandescent carbon arc lamps. The brothers then formed a partnership with Winton Motor Carriage Company investor George L. Weiss‚ called Packard &; Weiss‚ in 1893. The first Packard automobile was released in 1899. The company was renamed the Packard Motor Car Company in 1902. Here comes another of those made-for-TV moments: Andrews has a very unusual hobby. He is a watchmaker. “Most people spend their spare time watching TV or resting. I make watches‚” he said. His father was astonished that they had never discussed the iconic American luxury automobile. And the adventure began. Andrews‚ who grew up in Brook Park and lives in Chagrin Falls‚ learned that Packard was not only an American car‚ but was created in Warren‚ Ohio — home of the National Packard Museum. “I fell in love with the Packard history‚” he said. “What really impressed me was that most of the innovations made in the automobile were patented and brought to the market by Packard.” Packard Motors gets ready to build its new ‘old’ cars to order: A new showroom in Medina is bringing the classic Packard back! https://t.co/fwO0r9Jc9O — clevelanddotcom (@clevelanddotcom) December 11‚ 2023 Andrews collaborated with his friend‚ Steve Constantino‚ on the prospect of building new versions of 1930s Packards. “They found a company in Nebraska that makes all the parts for those particular vehicles. Andrews researched and now owns the legal rights to the Packard brands‚ patents and trademarks‚ which was a major step in moving forward‚” Cleveland.com writes. Packard Motors gets ready to build its new ‘old’ cars to order https://t.co/1d4jtv6VJA pic.twitter.com/mMsJaHO6Ts — Nordonia Hills News (@NHillsNews) December 10‚ 2023 Cont. from Cleveland.com: The men began working 12 hours a day to hand-make the 1934 convertible that stands at the center of the store. It was completed and moved the day before the ribbon cutting. If you stand outside‚ you can see how it stops people in their tracks as they walk by. They are now working with city leaders to open a manufacturing facility in Medina. Constantino noted that the iconic Packard will be available with the latest technology in engines‚ with myriad options to make each vehicle truly unique. “The philosophy is to listen to the prospective buyer and learn what they want and what they love and use it so the vehicle becomes an expression of their own personality‚” Constantino said. “Tailor-made.” Read the full report at Cleveland.com.

Rumble has been down almost all day today. But it’s not just Rumble. A serious Cyberattack has been crippling vital U.S. systems all day long. Watch this breaking news alert from Fox News: BREAKING NEWS: MAJOR CYBERATTACK FROM CHINA! They attack us because they do not FEAR US!!! pic.twitter.com/JLcEw6hSPF — Graham Allen (@GrahamAllen_1) December 11‚ 2023 There have been reports of a significant cyberattack targeting critical infrastructure in the United States‚ allegedly carried out by Chinese state-sponsored hackers. The hacking group‚ code-named “Volt Typhoon‚” has been active since 2021 and is believed to be part of a larger effort by the Chinese government to infiltrate key industries and sectors in the U.S. The attack has affected numerous industries‚ including government‚ communications‚ and transportation‚ with a particular focus on gathering intelligence. The hackers have used sophisticated techniques to evade detection‚ such as exploiting vulnerabilities in popular cybersecurity suites and using built-in network tools to infiltrate systems. This cyberattack has raised concerns about the potential for future disruption or sabotage of critical infrastructure‚ especially in light of recent warnings about Chinese hackers targeting power grids in the U.S. and Guam. The U.S. government has urged organizations to take steps to protect their systems and prevent further infiltration by these state-sponsored hackers. This is a pretty incredible depiction of the attack from Kaspersky: BREAKING: Unprecedented cyberattack probably by China on the United States rapidly escalating! Experts express astonishment‚ labeling it as a magnitude never seen before. #CyberSecurity #China #UnitedStates https://t.co/uhwTKEG3Qg pic.twitter.com/JHHGkYmtI5 — 𝕏 (@AlertChannel) December 11‚ 2023 Here’s more from Whitney Webb: Whitney Webb on How a Cyberattack Could Help Manufacture Consent for Digital ID “What this public-private partnership at the WEF is pushing for is for every person’s access to the Internet to be tied to a Digital ID…And the goal of that‚ of course‚ is if your ID is linked… pic.twitter.com/wmahGWPBmy — Chief Nerd (@TheChiefNerd) December 11‚ 2023 Is anyone buying that this is just a “coincidence” that it comes on the heels of Barack &; Michelle Obama’s new movie called “Leave The World Behind”….which is about‚ you guessed it‚ a crippling cyberattack on the United States. Predictive programming much? But that’s a bit on the nose‚ even for these people: Barack &; Michelle Obama just produced their first fiction film on Netflix called: “Leave The World Behind” The plot is about a cyberattack that shuts down all the power &; cripples the United States. (Predictive programming?) They even managed to sneak in a scene bashing white… pic.twitter.com/55HPiEQSX2 — End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) December 11‚ 2023 In the movie “Leave the World Behind‚” a cyberattack causes a nationwide blackout and destabilizes the country. The film follows two families as they navigate the crisis‚ with the former president’s experience in disaster preparedness and technology helping to shape the movie’s realism. The film was released in 2023 and stars Julia Roberts‚ Ethan Hawke‚ and Mahershala Ali. It’s a stunning connection to the cyberattack in the United States today as both involve a technological attack on the nation’s infrastructure‚ highlighting the importance of cybersecurity and the potential consequences of such an attack. Just another huge coincidence! RELATED: The Truth About The Power Grid Outage Risk in America Patrick Bet-David has quickly become one of the most trusted sources of news (beyond yours truly of course). But truth is‚ we often work closely together. And that’s what I’m doing today. I just came across this 11 minute video from Patrick (shout out to Mark‚ thanks for sending to me) and I thought it was so good I wanted to share it with you. Not a lot of people are talking about this‚ but it has been high up on my radar for a long time. So glad to see Patrick talking about it‚ because he breaks it down in a way that’s so easy to understand. So please take a moment to watch this: FULL TRANSCRIPT for everyone who always asks for one: by the way before Co did you ever think that you and I were going to go through an epidemic or pandemic where we’re going to be told that you know we’re going to shut down everything you’re going to be working from home you better quarantine put the mask on have gloves on when you’re going out there don’t touch this don’t do that kid stay home did you think that like did that thought even cross your mind when 2019 was going into 2020 and you’re preparing in December did you say honey we better be ready for a potential pandemic to happen we did not think about it and then all of a sudden boom we were hit with it right you know it’s so one thing no one’s talking about that is very likely that could happen a power outage so imagine powered outage happens No Light No fridge food is no longer good no phone charger phone is done no internet what happens to your life FYI come on Pat that would never happen to us well let me give you our score on how good we’re doing with power Energy System the American Society of civil engineers which gave the US Energy System a c minus on great on its 2021 infrastructure report car said that the grid investment Trends will eventually lead to a funding gap of almost $200 billion in 2029 and also in 2021 threat assessment from the office of the Director of National Intelligence stated that Russia China Iran and North Korea have the capability to cause harm to the energy grid What also at the same time the Energy Secretary Jennifer granholm confirmed that America’s adversaries possess the capability to shut down the grit what we’re going to talk about that today so look I’ve been in the financial industry since 9/11 the day before 911 and I’ve owned stocks bonds mutual funds real estate crypto gold you name it I’ve owned it but the one thing that’s very important part of my portfolio all these years is gold I love having a

866939 6984 okay so if you get value out of this video give it a thumbs up subscribe to the channel let’s get right into it I’m going to give you some good news and some bad news here’s some good news for the good news is the average US electricity consumer experienced of interruptions annually remained consistently at around 2 hours per year from 2013 to 2021 we’re lucky if you look at these charts here this right here shows us the blue is with major events the navy blue is without major events of course 2017 2020 2021 maybe weather maybe additional things that happen we experiened a little bit but around 2 hours per year on average now here’s the bad news the bad news is much of the US electric grid was built in the 60s and the 7s we’re talking 70 years ago is when it was built currently over 70% of the US electricity grid is more than 25 years old according to the White House so we’ve updated almost everything yeah let’s upgrade this upgrade that our electricity grid 70% of it hasn’t been updated for more than 25 years what really maybe it’s something no president’s looking at right they’re like well it’s not really a threat we shouldn’t look at this here now you may say come on Pat of course the government’s going to be paying attention to this kind of stuff because this is on us this is not free market we don’t do this right now somebody else could maybe figure it out this is the government’s responsibility and us taxpayers we’ll pay our taxes yeah I think they kind of know what they’re doing in DC Pennsylvania right I mean they they’re they’re smart people we elected them watch this on October 18th 2023 Biden Harrison Administration announced $3.5 billion for largest ever investment in America’s electric grid you know what the budget was the deficit was at that time $1.7 trillion what is $35 billion not a lot so now where is our vulnerability like where are some areas we should be worried about number one extreme weather abnormal heat or cold tornadoes hurricanes flood or storms major power outages from weather related events in the US increased by 67% since 2000 number two cyber security the 2020 Homeland threat assessment from the Department of Homeland Security stated that China has the capability and possible intent to compromise the energy grid what would that look like would China want to do that if they did wouldn’t they probably blame somebody else like they did with covid when it came out from Wuhan and they said no it probably came from some kind of a you know other place but it’s not us it’s somebody else you think China would take responsibility for it of course not they haven’t for a recent one you think they’re going to for this number three is EMP an electromagnetic pulse also referred to as a transient electromagnetic disturbance Ted is a brief burst of electromagnetic energy the origin of EMP can be natural or artificial and can occur as an electromagnetic field there are two potential sources for an EMP the deliberate detonation of a nuclear device in the atmosphere above the Earth or a massive solar flare the concept consquences of either could range from a few days without power to lifechanging number four is actual physical attacks on power grid which rose by 71% last year compared to 2021 the department of energy strategy does not include a complete assessment of all the cyber security risk to the grid by the way the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission does not have a good understanding of the scale of the potential impacts from the impact and in the first 8 months of 2022 the US electrical grid was physically attacked 107 times so let’s actually go through process and by the way this is not like a horror movie you’re watching this is you’re probably listening to this saying this is very possible and you and I just like one day you know they say death and taxes are the two guarantees in life this is why you should own life insurance and this is why you should pay your taxes because those two things we’re going to have to do right watch this what would happen if the power grid actually did go down number one immediate disruption would be a loss of electricity in affected areas this would disrupt the normal functioning of various aspects of our daily life including traffic lights public transports businesses hospitals communication Networks works and more number two water supply many water supply systems rely on electric pumps without electricity water treatment plants may not function potentially leading to a lack of clean water and increased risk of waterborne diseases number three Transportation traffic lights would go out leading to traffic jams and potentially accidents electric trains and subway would halt fuel stations might not be able to pump gas leading to shortage of fuel for vehicles number four communication cell towers have backup generators but they can run out of fuel if not replenished this this could disrupt mobile phone service and the internet hampering emergency response and communication among the public number five healthc care while hospitals have emergency generators a prolonged outage could endanger patients especially those in intensive care units or those dependent on powered medical devices number six food supply Refrigeration would be lost leading to spoilage of perishable foods without a functioning transportation system the movement of goods would be hampered leading to shortages in grocery stores by the way we saw a food supply during Co it’s not like this is just 50 years ago this just happened 2 3 years ago economic impact prolonged outages could lead to a significant economic Lawes as businesses shut down and the cost of response and Recovery amounts again this shouldn’t be intimidating this just happened 3 years ago you know what happened to so many restaurants in America they had to shut down what happened to restaurants in California New York and Illinois they’re like look we can’t make this happen what can we do with this they went out of business next one Safety and Security an an increase in crime especially looting could be observed due to reduced surveillance not functioning alarm system and dark streets again this civil unrest happened during Co just a few years ago dependency on backup power entities with backup generators would need to rely on them but fuel could run out if there’s no quick resolution to the crisis next cooling and heating depending on the season lack of electricity could result to the inability to heat homes in Winter or cool them in the summer posing health risks to vulnerable populations next environmental concerns in some cases power outages could lead to uncontrolled releases from industrial sites affecting air and water quality next long-term impact if attack damage is critical infrastructure components it could take weeks or even months to repair especially if custom components are required social implications a long-term outage could lead to social unrest decreased trust in government and institutions and psychological impacts due to the stress of prolonged disruption by the way social implications have we experienced this prolonged disruption psychological impacts to kids who were forced to stay home imagine what happened to marriages husband and wife like it was a very messy situation but couple things to be thinking of so like f so what’s the solution well we got a few things to be thinking about there’s three things that comes to my mind number one is we have to vote better leaders and we our job is to bring this issue to the top of who be elect and ask the question in interviews if you go to a town hall ask the question what are you going to do with the power grid in the US we were not prepared for Co are you if you’re able to go online and ask the question POS it to other people ask it from your elected officials your Congressman your Senator your Governor your president everybody because this should be local to your mayor as well because a mayor is your city what are they going to be doing about it in your city so that’s the government level number two business the company you’re working for ask the question are we protected what do we have what are we looking at with our software what what do we have to be protected against cyber security attacks are we protected is there dep Department in the company that invests into that you these are conversations that anybody can bring up in the next leadership meeting you could be one person that Sparks this conversation say I watch this video do you know what we’re going through how are we protected against this and last but not least personal what can you do about it for your family is it generator is it getting the right insurance policies to protect against identity theft against somebody stealing your information all of these things are very realistic the Deep fake there’s so many different ways they’re getting people to destroy their lives but the reality of it is those three things you control more of it the lower you go you control less with the government less with the company but you definitely control what you do with your family so the preparation the responsibility goes to you and I when it comes to personal what we can do for us by the way to me you know these types of conversations some sometimes people watch like oh my God babe the end of the world what am I going to be doing no the whole idea is to be overly prepared proper preparation prevents poor performance we had a conversation earlier about a script for a movie I said we got to be hard on the script we got to be hard on the content we got to be the more prepared we are Upfront for a party the more we can enjoy the party the less prepared you are for a party you’re going to have a miserable party cuz nothing’s going right so you can’t even enjoy your own party make sense so the more prepared we are yeah guess what future looks bright if you’re not gu what it doesn’t look bright for those that are not prepared so do take the time to be prepared for you and your family if you do that you don’t have a lot to worry about having said that if you got value out of this video give it a thumbs up subscribe to the channel and I got another video I want you to watch we did a video on food shortages if you’ve never seen that before click here to watch it take care everybody bye-bye bye-bye Closely related to everything Patrick is talking about is an EMP. Read this: Have You Heard Of An “EMP”? Here’s Why I Think It’s Our Biggest Threat What is the biggest threat to America….right now? Joe Biden?  Certainly he’s not helping things. Barack Obama?  The puppet master behind Biden. Soros?  The puppet master behind Biden. China?  Always on the list. Democrats? RINOs? Election theft? Nuclear attack? All of these things are serious threats‚ but I want to tell you about something often not discussed….but the impact could be bigger than anything above. Yes‚ really. It’s called an EMP attack. What’s an “EMP” anyway? Good question! An EMP‚ or Electromagnetic Pulse‚ is a powerful burst of energy that can disrupt or damage electronic devices and electrical systems. It’s like a super strong wave of energy that can mess with anything that uses electricity. This includes cell phones‚ computers‚ cars‚ and even the power grid that gives electricity to homes and businesses. You may have heard about it before‚ but it’s not commonly discussed. So let me break it all down for you… Likelihood of an EMP Attack: Technological Feasibility: Creating an effective EMP weapon is technologically challenging. It typically involves nuclear detonations at high altitudes or sophisticated non-nuclear devices. The complexity of these technologies limits their availability mostly to advanced military powers. Global Politics and Deterrence: The United States has strong diplomatic relations and defense systems‚ which act as deterrents against direct attacks from other major powers. The doctrine of mutually assured destruction (MAD) often serves as a deterrent against nuclear-based EMP attacks‚ as such an attack could lead to a full-scale nuclear war. Non-State Actors: The greater risk may come from non-state actors (like terrorist groups) who might not be deterred by traditional means. However‚ their access to the necessary technology is typically quite limited. Natural EMPs: There is also the risk of a natural EMP caused by a solar storm‚ similar to the Carrington Event of 1859. While not a deliberate attack‚ the effects could be similarly disruptive. Most Likely Ways an EMP Could Happen: High-Altitude Nuclear Detonation: A nuclear bomb detonated high in the atmosphere could create a powerful EMP. This would require intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capabilities. Non-Nuclear EMP Devices: These devices can be designed to target specific areas or systems without the broader destruction caused by nuclear weapons. However‚ their effective range and power are generally less than a nuclear EMP. Cyber-Physical Attacks: A coordinated cyber-attack on power grids and electronic systems could mimic some effects of an EMP‚ though technically different. Solar Storms: A severe solar storm hitting the Earth could create natural EMP effects‚ disrupting electrical systems and communications. The Fallout From an EMP: Power Outage: EMPs can knock out electricity everywhere‚ like turning off a big light switch for a whole city or even a country. No Internet or Phones: Imagine not being able to call‚ text‚ or use the internet. That’s what happens with an EMP. Water Supply Issues: Without power‚ getting clean water to homes and buildings becomes really hard. Food Shortage: Stores need electricity to keep food fresh. Without it‚ a lot of food can go bad quickly. No Heating or Air Conditioning: Houses and buildings would lose heating in winter and air conditioning in summer. Hospitals Struggle: Hospitals rely on power for life-saving equipment. An EMP could put many lives at risk. Transportation Problems: Cars‚ buses‚ and trains might not work‚ making it tough to get around. Banking and Money Problems: ATMs and credit card machines need power‚ so buying things could become really difficult. Emergency Services Disrupted: Police‚ fire‚ and ambulance services could be severely affected. Danger to Airplanes: Planes flying when an EMP hits could have serious trouble. Schools Closing: With no power‚ schools might have to close. No Radio or TV: News and entertainment through radio and TV would be cut off. Damage to Electronics: An EMP can break things like computers‚ TVs‚ and even some toys. Industrial Shutdowns: Factories and other big workplaces would have to stop work. Fuel Shortages: Gas stations need power to pump gas‚ so cars might run out of fuel. Increased Crime: Without alarms or streetlights‚ there might be more thefts and other crimes. Health Risks from Spoiled Food: Without fridges‚ food can spoil and make people sick. Waste Disposal Problems: Trash and sewage systems might not work properly. Mental Health Stress: The sudden change and uncertainty can be really stressful and scary for people. Long-Term Recovery: Fixing everything after an EMP can take a really long time and be very hard. Life In America Following an EMP Attack: Week 1: Immediate Chaos and Confusion In the immediate aftermath‚ there would be widespread panic and confusion. The EMP‚ having disabled all electronics‚ would leave individuals without means of communication; cell phones‚ internet‚ and radio would be rendered useless. Transportation systems would grind to a halt. Modern vehicles with electronic components would fail‚ leading to widespread traffic jams and stranded individuals. Emergency services would be severely hampered‚ struggling to respond to incidents without their usual communication and transportation infrastructure. There would be a run on stores for essential supplies as people quickly realize the severity of the situation. This could lead to shortages and even looting in some areas. Week 2-3: Adapting to the New Reality Communities would begin to adapt. Those with older‚ non-electronic vehicles and equipment would find themselves at an advantage. People would turn to bicycles‚ horses‚ or simply walking for transportation. The lack of refrigeration and electronic banking systems would lead to a reliance on cash transactions and bartering. Localized trading systems might emerge. Battery-operated or hand-crank radios would become vital sources of information‚ assuming some radio stations could continue broadcasting. There would be a significant increase in manual labor as machines and automated systems used in manufacturing and agriculture would be non-operational. Week 4 and Beyond: Long-Term Adjustments Social structures would begin to shift‚ with communities becoming more localized and self-sufficient. Neighbors would need to work together for survival‚ leading to a resurgence of community-oriented living. Food shortages could become a serious issue. Without modern transportation and preservation methods‚ communities would have to rely on locally sourced food‚ leading to a rise in gardening and small-scale farming. Health care would face severe challenges. Hospitals would struggle without modern equipment‚ leading to a reliance on more traditional methods of treatment and an increased need for medical knowledge within communities. Education would revert to non-digital methods. Schools‚ if they remained open‚ would rely on books and oral teaching methods. Over time‚ there might be efforts to rebuild some form of electrical infrastructure‚ but this would be a slow and difficult process given the extent of the damage caused by the EMP. Now you see what I’m talking about? As usual‚ I don’t like to just leave you hanging with the bad news….I like to give you solutions! And I have one here. You know I’ve got you covered! There ARE things you can do right now to make sure you and your family will stay safe and be able to survive in the event we end up living through an EMP strike. Imagine losing all lights and heating in the winter? Negative 10 degrees outside and suddenly you’re back in the stone age? Follow the link below to find out what you can do right now. TAKE ACTION NOW Let’s all stay safe together‚ ok?
