"When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - Sherlock Holmes

Interesting article about the origins of the blackout in Eastern North America yesterday. It turns out that before he was a journalist, Greg Palast was an investigator for the US government looking into violations of US laws and policies on power infrastructure and delivery. He states that he went to testify in court against the likely perpetrators of the blackout yesterday. Thought provoking if nothing else. Find it at Greg_Palast- POWER OUTAGE TRACED TO DIM BULB IN WHITE HOUSE --- THE TALE OF THE BRITS WHO SWIPED 800 JOBS FROM NEW YORK, CARTED OFF $90 MILLION, THEN TONIGHT, TURNED OFF OUR LIGHTS .

Oh and then if you haven't yet, read "The Overseer" written by Jonathan Rabb in 1998. It's almost like looking at the timetable of past, present and, who knows, future events. If nothing else it's a great read.
