Paul Singer: This threat is 'head-and-shoulders' above all others
CNBC ^ | 7/29/14 | Lawrence Delevingne

Posted on 07/29/2014 6:23:35 PM PDT by Kartographer

"(A natural EMP event) today would cause a massive disruption to the electric grid, possibly shutting it down entirely for months or longer, with unimaginable consequences," Singer wrote. "Only two years ago, the sun let loose with a Carrington-magnitude burst, but the position of the earth at the time prevented the burst from hitting it. The chances of additional events of such magnitude may be far greater than most people think." Carrington refers to a solar storm in 1859 that caused telegraph systems to fail around the world.

Singer warned that a man-made EMP attack would be even worse.

Preppers’ PING!!

I posted this in spite of being told by a number of FReepers that there is no such thing as EMP.

I actually remember William F. Buckley warning of just that. I think it was way back in the 60s but might have been the 70s.

At the time he was thinking more of Communist Saboteurs but still the same idea.

I’d be OK but my kids would have to learn to play outside.

Gee, I wonder who benefits by an event that takes us back to the 7th century?

Well it would get rid of the unprepared which I’m guessing is the 39% who still think Oblahblah is doing a good job. :-)

The global elite are getting ready to hit the Earth's "reset" button in the name of UN Agenda 21 to reduce the population to 500,000,000.

I'd much rather have the "reset" button hit by a natural event than by them. A natural event would be an equal-opportunity killer. The global elite will exempt themselves.

“Singer warned that a man-made EMP attack would be even worse.”

He’s probably wrong about that. Unless it’s a megaton size blast at 250 miles up and optimized for EMP... That’s pretty unlikely.

Judge Jeanine Pirro also thinks this is the biggest threat.

Here is the entire movie “Remnants” on youtube, it is about after an EMP event.

I was thinking more in terms of the savages whose profit told them that their moon god wanted things to stay as they were in the 7th century. Told them how to take a dump, dress, have sex, have many wives, and kill an infidel.

The danger from an EMP engineered by Barry Soetoro is orders of magnitude greater than from a natural event.
