With McAfee pushing this we now know for certain it’s simply not a problem. His whole company is built on selling fear.

McAfee is an unusual guy, and that’s an understatement.
But, the Carrington EMP effect is real. A solar flare in the 1870’s fried the telegraph system and railroad ties caught fire from the solar current running through the rails.

Two well placed relatively low yield nukes at 60,000 feet, one over Ohio, and one over a western Nebraska would destroy our electric grid and all unprotected electronics.

Korea, Iran, or any other technical rogue attack would send us back to the stone age, and not do any major property destruction.

John McAfee hasn't had anything whatsoever to do with McAfee the company and the bassturds that took it over, in 15 years.

He hates them.

He may be a fruitcake on his own, of course. But his positions have nothing to do with the company that bought and bears his name.

National Review, many years ago when, it was a conservative magazine, was warning about an EMP attack.

A nuclear weapon detonation has an EMP as a side effect.

Thanks to Obama, we’ll be seeing an Iranian built nuke come into one of our major ports, or even in a containers coming up from Mexico, to be distributed throughout the country.
