November 22, 2022 Grid Down Power Up

The Liberty Gazette

When Bob was in high school, he wanted to be a star college football player. He wasn’t looking for a party school, so he enrolled at The Citadel, the military college in South Carolina founded in 1842. But an injury prevented further participation in his dream sport. He earned a degree in electrical engineering, and after graduation, he entered the Air Force with every intention of being a big-time fighter pilot. But his vision wasn’t 20/20. He prayed and believed God had him right where he should be, and that’s when the military moved him to California. He became a systems engineer on the Minuteman Missile at Norton AFB during the Cold War. He was sworn to secrecy and could not divulge his knowledge about the threats of electromagnetic pulses, how they could take down our country’s electrical grids and kill lots of people. 

But after working many years in aerospace, and with an active prayer life, he realized that he must do more to put his knowledge to work for the good of humanity. How Bob Hall is doing that today is by serving in the Texas Senate, authoring critical bills such as nonpartisan SB-1606, relating to the resilience of the electric grid, to protect it (and us) from attacks by our enemies who would like us dead or enslaved. 

Senator Hall has authored this bill before. Four times. Every time, it dies in the State Affairs committee, where Will Metcalf of Conroe has been the chair. Who does Will Metcalf think he is? Why would Will Metcalf block a bill and prevent Texans from protecting our grid? Is he anti-Texan? Anti-American? Who would vote for someone who hates us and loves Russian, Chinese, and Iranian hackers? Please, tell your friends in Conroe and the 16th District about this.

Now, how this article came about is that Senator Hall took the time to travel to Dayton last week and present information about the threat to our grid and what must be done. Watch the documentary, “Grid Down Power Up,” at https://griddownpowerup.com, as if your life depends on it, because it does. 

Then contact your State Representative. In Liberty, that’s Ernest Bailes. 512-463-0570. Numbers for this Metcalf character are (512) 463-0726 or (936) 539-0068.

Tell your Representative that this is critical, and you’ll accept nothing short of a promise to get the Senate and House bills on grid protection passed in the House. We must make it clear that their jobs depend on it.

For those in Liberty, let the Liberty City Council know that you want our electrical grid protected. The technology is available. They’re already doing it in San Antonio. There are no excuses not to.

By the way, Senator Hall didn’t give up on his dream of flying. He flies his Mooney M20J all over Texas and beyond. It gets him to meetings faster with much less hassle than driving or flying commercially. And as you can see, the work he is doing is significant and important.
