(Natural News)—A retired United States Air Force (USAF) general warned that an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) event could happen during the April 8 total solar eclipse.
Retired USAF Brig. Gen. Blaine Holt made this statement during a recent interview with “Inspired” channel host Jean Nolan.
“I’m getting from a couple of places that there is a potential over the next few weeks, and I can’t co-locate it with April 8. But there is a possibility that somewhere in our nation, there’s going to be an EMP or electromagnetic pulse event,” Holt told Nolan.
“Now, you could conveniently if that were to happen along that path of the solar eclipse. Well, then you might have a government that explains that away as saying, oh, this solar eclipse was like no other,” Holt continued. “We’ve had a solar flare storm because we’ve been marinated in that news story over the past four years that oh, solar flares are just around the corner, and these are bad, and it could wipe out your electronics. Well, in reality, that is true if it’s the right kind and if it’s exactly the right type. We haven’t seen that since I think the mid-1800s.”
North America will experience a total solar eclipse on Monday, April 8, beginning at around 11:07 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time on Mexico’s Pacific coast. From there, the eclipse will then take a path through the U.S., crossing – in order of appearance – Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.
The eclipse will also be visible from small parts of Tennessee and Michigan. After Maine, the eclipse will continue north through Canada in southern Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and, finally Cape Breton.
Holt added that physicists are also warning people about the Schumann resonance, which are frequencies that could bring about humanity losing everything.
He pointed out the federal government is warning Americans about these things and telling them to take action could only mean that they have to do it because the government knows something people don’t know about.
A possible EMP event must not be taken for granted
Holt said the potential for an EMP event must not be taken for granted and every American must have preparatory steps for taking care of their own families and their communities. (Related: EMP survival: 4 Ways to protect your home from an EMP attack.)
He stressed that people should not remove the EMP threat from the list of things they need to worry about.
Holt also advised people to do research and get protection against an EMP attack by having cost-effective devices like a Faraday can. Many things could happen in the event of an EMP wave, and protecting electronics from the pulse through devices like a Faraday cage could help people manage.
Nolan said these are strange times and the messaging, warnings, disaster declarations and state emergencies in various states are inconsistent with history and any potential danger that a solar eclipse could pose.
Holt noted that there are a ton of guides online on how to create Faraday-like devices for people strapped for cash and time that will allow them to weather the storm. He then added that valuable electronics should be the priority for these cages, like smartphones, wires, batteries and other electronics people may need.

Two Storms, One Harvest
Every food crisis in living memory has been a one-shock event. The 2008 price spike was a commodity bubble. The 2020 shortages were a logistics failure. The 2022 grain scare was a war on one exporter’s ports. Each time, the system bent, adjusted, and recovered, and each time the experts assured us afterward that global markets are simply too big and too diversified to fail.
What nobody in Washington seems eager to discuss is that 2026 is shaping up to be something the modern food system has never actually faced. Two independent shocks, one climatic and one geopolitical, are converging on the same harvest cycle at the same time. Not sequentially. Simultaneously.
Start with the weather. The Pacific Ocean is currently building toward what forecasters now openly call a record event. NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center puts the odds of at least a strong El Niño near 88 percent, with roughly two in three odds it reaches “very strong” status, the tier reserved for perhaps three or four events in the entire satellite era. Every major global model now projects a median peak in Super El Niño territory, and most of them project it exceeding the 2015-16 event, which until now held the modern record. Sea surface anomalies were already brushing the super threshold in mid-July, months before these events normally peak. The atmosphere has already shifted into El Niño mode, and the event is forecast to crest in late fall and early winter.
This is not about “climate change.” It’s about the standard cycles of weather, and the cycle we’re currently in is one that has likely devastated societies in the past. We’re better prepared as a society today, but not all Americans are equally prepared.
Serious households have started doing the quiet math on their own. Grocery bills tell part of the story, and the forecast maps tell the rest, which is why long-term food storage has moved from fringe hobby to mainstream line item in the family budget, with established suppliers like Heaven’s Harvest seeing demand from people who five years ago would have rolled their eyes at the idea. That instinct is not paranoia. It is pattern recognition, and the pattern is worth walking through carefully.
Editor’s Note: Heaven’s Harvest IS a sponsor, but the warnings of this article are real and would be written even if we didn’t have a survival food sponsor. With that said, those who take advantage of what they offer can use promo code “Patriot” for 15% off.
The Fertilizer Clock Is Already Running
While the Pacific warms, the second shock has been unfolding in the Strait of Hormuz. The conflict with Iran turned the world’s most important energy chokepoint into a contested waterway, and the consequences reach far beyond the gas pump. Roughly a third of global fertilizer trade moves through Hormuz, and the disruption sent urea prices up 86 percent year over year by March, with a 53 percent jump in a single month.
The World Bank projects energy prices rising about 24 percent in 2026 and fertilizer about 31 percent. By its own accounting, fertilizer prices ran 35 percent higher in the first five months of this year than the same period last year.
Here is the mechanism the nightly news will not explain. Fertilizer is not a grocery item. It is a time-delayed input. The nitrogen a farmer in Iowa or Punjab could not afford to apply this spring does not show up as a problem this spring. It shows up as a thinner harvest six to twelve months later.
The World Bank’s own food security brief concedes that the effects of reduced applications earlier this season “are likely to become visible only later in harvest outcomes.” Translate that from institutional language into plain English and it means this. The damage is already done, it is already in the ground, and we are simply waiting for it to arrive on the shelf.
Now check the calendar. Six to twelve months from the spring planting season lands us squarely in late 2026 and early 2027. Which is precisely when the strongest El Niño in the instrumental record is forecast to peak, bringing its signature droughts to Southeast Asia, Australia, southern Africa, northern Brazil, and South Asia, the very regions that grow the world’s rice, sugar, and oilseeds.
The World Bank warns openly that a strong El Niño “could disrupt multiple crop belts simultaneously” on top of the conflict-driven input costs. Their baseline projection assumes the Middle East disruptions ease by autumn. What in the last two years of Middle East history suggests that assumption is safe?
The System Has No Slack Left
The comfortable answer is that global markets always adjust. But adjustment requires slack, and the slack is gone. Global cereal production is expected to decline from last year’s records even before El Niño does its work. The UN World Food Programme, hardly a den of right-wing preppers, is calling this the most significant disruption to its supply chains since Covid and the invasion of Ukraine, and its supply chain director put the stakes bluntly.
Today’s supply chain challenges are tomorrow’s hunger crisis.
There is also a political dimension that markets cannot price. When food gets scarce, governments do not behave like economists. They behave like politicians. Export bans, hoarding mandates, and panic buying at the national level turned the modest rice shortfall of 2008 into a global crisis, and analysts are already warning that import-dependent nations are the first dominoes.
The 2015-16 Super El Niño, a far weaker event than what is now forecast, threw tens of millions into food stress across Africa and Asia. This one is projected to be stronger, and it arrives with fertilizer already rationed by price and shipping lanes already contested by missiles.
What Joseph Knew
Scripture does not treat preparation for lean years as faithlessness. It treats it as wisdom delivered in advance to those willing to act on it.
Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt: And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt.
Joseph did not respond to that warning with a hashtag or a committee. He stored grain during the years of abundance, and when the famine came, Egypt stood while its neighbors begged. The lesson is not that famine is certain. It is that the time to prepare is precisely when preparation still looks optional.
Nobody who filled a pantry in a year of plenty has ever regretted it, and nobody standing in an empty aisle has ever been glad he waited for certainty.
None of this calls for panic, and panic is the enemy of sound judgment anyway. It calls for the same unglamorous prudence our grandparents considered ordinary. Keep some cash margin, know your local growers, and put real food in deep storage while it is cheap and available, because the entire arc of this story is that cheap and available is a closing window.
Families looking for a straightforward place to start can visit Heaven’s Harvest and use promo code Patriot for 15 percent off long-term storable food. The forecasts may yet soften, the strait may yet reopen, and we should pray they do. But hope is a fine thing to hold and a foolish thing to eat.
Oh, good Lord…
Okay, fact time. We’re currently in Solar Maximum (it’s an 11 year cycle), so we do have an increased risk of flare activity, and the eclipse has NOTHING to do with something like that. And if the Sun flares, it won’t “miss” those areas in shadow, FYI.
If an evil nation tries to launch a nuke, which is the only way we could have a widespread EMP attack, we have defensive systems. Furthermore, we have these things called SATELLITES, which can see when that stuff is even getting ready to launch.
Also, just so you know, we get 4 to 5 eclipses every year. It’s a natural astronomical phenomenon. It portends neither flood nor famine nor war nor pestilence. It doesn’t cause cancer, but may cause blindness to the stupid who actually try to LOOK DIRECTLY AT IT. It doesn’t cause earthquakes, even if two eclipse paths “cross” years and years apart.
Please, fight the stupidity with all your might, folks. There’s way too much of it out there right now.
Eyes Open. No Fear. Be safe, everyone.
A) there could already be a nukes in space to take out the satellites and/or EMP us without any tracing. Could also EMP Europe at the same time. Now who would want to do that?
B) There could be ships or subs just off our coast that could launch nukes to EMP us and there is nothing we could do about it as there will not be enough time. Take out our coasts and good luck trying to defend this country. This country will self implode and will be ripe for the taking after 90% of the population is dead but land is in great shape.
So we are getting warned about EMP by the government ! Have they hardened the grid to protect it from emps? No !!!
So either the government is too stupid to protect our grid or they want us all to die in the aftermath.
Why during a solar eclipse? Electromagnetic interference has nothing to do with a solar eclipse. The Sun certainly can interrupt communications after large solar flares, that happen to coincide with Earth, overcome our electromagnetic fields. I guess their counting on people’s ignorance.
It is ridiculous but maybe some are thinking that aligning of planets and moon will create a gravity pull to act as a aiming device towards us for the next solar flare. I do want to point out though that it’s not the solar flares that are dangerous, but the CME that comes with some of the solar flares. Not all flares have a CME. The flare also gets here a lot faster than the CME (hours vs days).
As for the planets, only Mercury is lined up with us, but it is the closest and maybe has the greatest effect on the sun.
From AI….
You’ve got the right idea! While mass is crucial for gravitational pull, distance also plays a significant role. Here’s the thing:
Jupiter has the most mass by far, making its gravitational pull on the Sun the strongest among the planets.
Mercury, although much less massive than Jupiter, actually experiences a stronger gravitational pull from the Sun due to its much closer proximity.
So, even though Jupiter packs a heavier punch in terms of mass, Mercury’s advantage in distance wins out when it comes to the Sun’s pull. This principle applies throughout the solar system – each object exerts gravitational force on every other object, but the strength of that force weakens with distance.
Oh look, a general with a chest full of medals, and 0 war victories…….
No it won’t not unless the government touches off a nuke high in the atmosphere. We’ve had eclipses before, sunspots galore and only minor disruptions have occurred. Folks this talk is 2000 talk, The New Millennial scare. If something goes wrong it is deliberate and most likely permanent, for the foreseeable future!
Lots of cha ges since 2000. Russia vs. NATO on Ukraine , Dementia Joe Captain Zero on Titanic. Iran nuclear threat, Israel vs Islam war. China hungry to show it’s power with Tiawan. North Korea doesn’t want to wait for Manchurian Biden to be replaced. and then there are the unforseen events we’ve been witnessing lately. downed Bridge, open border China, Jihad invaders, earthquakes and plagues a popping.
What a Bozo with nothing to back up what he obviously pulled out of his arse.
What else would you expect from the “Health Ranger” but serial click bait?
This must be the first solar eclipse ever or we are all expected to be baby ducks waking up everyday with no sense of history. I remember my first solar eclipse back in the early 60s and damn if everything turned out fine except for a little darkness for a very short time. These chicken littles need to be put away in a dark dank place, they have no place in a civil society.
