From 2011. A video about EMP weapons and Iran's intent. I thought it was interesting that the alarm has been sounding with those paying attention and look where we are today...

Geez..... Not this crap again.
The headline is sensationalist nonsense.
It does have a December 31, 1999 feel to it.
But what made you click on it?
The one thing an EMP attack won’t take out is our retaliatory capacity.
This assumes that eventually we will once again have a president who isn’t in bed with the Muslim terrorist theocrats in Iran and elsewhere.
If they do it, they had better do it while Princess Obongo is still in office.
Supposedly our nuclear command structure is hardedned against EMP and our nuclear subs are safe. Back in the day the Russians knew if they attacked the U.S. there would be a massive nuclear retaliation. Perhaps the N. Koreans and the Iranians need to understand that an EMP attack against the U.S. would bring a massive nuclear strike on their countries that would leave them nothing but radioactive rubble. Unfortunately Obama has shown nothing but weakness and capitulation and this could be interpreted by these rogue states that they could get away with crippling the U.S. with an EMP bomb. I’m not so sure that Obama would do anything to retaliate to any country attacking the homeland. Perhaps our next president could make it clear that an EMP strike on the U.S. would bring nuclear retaliation on any nations involved
“Unfortunately Obama has shown nothing but weakness and capitulation and this could be interpreted by these rogue states that they could get away with crippling the U.S. with an EMP bomb. Im not so sure that Obama would do anything to retaliate to any country attacking the homeland.”
In such an event, Obama would no longer effectively be in charge...
As long as we have ships and boats at sea, we can retaliate overwhelmingly.
No way they can they can get us all with a single nuke.
The accidental EMP in the Pacific covered thousands of square miles.
Read the novel “One Second After”. Horrifying.
Has the premise been debunked or something?
Source? Does not pass smell test either.
Operation Starfish (Part of Op Fishbowl). It was stronger than they anticipated even given the heavier duty electronics of that day.
I have..Currently reading “One Year After” now (think it was released last week).
I remember that new year’s eve. I was here, drinking champagne and Guinness Extra Stout mixed 50-50 and wondering if the power was gonna go out at midnight. What a circlejerk that over-hyped nonevent was. D’OH!
Source?
Except that is not true.
It’s a novel, not a scientific paper. While EMP is a corollary effect of nudets, it won’t wipe out the entire country’s electricity.
This is fear mongering nonsense. But if you want, the guy in the video can sell you supplies...

get yourself a generator, and keep it in a metal shed
Read up on ‘faraday cage’
Put a metal floor on the shed too- you can cover it with plywood but make sure the metal from the roof, sides, and floor all have direct contact with each other
and ground it with a nice metal stake
crap???
I am a pysicist and engineer- this is the single biggest vulnerability of the USA
THE BIGGEST, got it?
If only we had a few $trillion for ‘shovel ready projects’ we could have updated our ENTIRE ELECTRICAL GRID!!!!!
