I think we also here, on FR have a couple people who are near to Trump.
This is a serious issue. If anyone reading this, has Trump on your connection list, this is just to mention it to you.
Thank you.
What concerns me is liberal terrorists going on the rampage the day Trump is sworn in. It is going to be bad. The media has already lit the fuse.
OK I’m a little stupid on this one but just how bad would an EMP be? I have my own water well’s, gas supply with generator that will power the whole house. I understand the national impact but what about the personal?
I believe Newt Gingrich has been pretty outspoken on this issue, too. I’m hoping Trump makes him chief of staff.
Trump does not have the time at this point to do the indepth study to examine the issue. It’s an industry and historical problem that goes back to the electric war between Edison and Westinghouse.
George Snorey is unlistenable.
I am aware of the EMP issue, I just will never hear it from him...
Read: “One second after” for a primer on the cascading events of infrastructure and health related demise of millions. Mob violence etc...
While not the authoratve manual this fictional novel presents a scenario which could play out.
Septic concerns are huge. Those requiring medications to live are doomed etc..
Dystopia, but well thought out.
Also, Newt partnered with William Forstchen writing this book which all of us should read (IMO).
This is something I have been worried about as well.
PING!!!
Article, comments , esp poster comment re Trump, and 27
Thanks cba123
Its not going to be an EMP but its going to happen. Sooner or later one of these hackers will manage to put the grid down or group will figure out a plan to blow up the 9 strategic substations that need to be taken out to put the grid down.
Side note: If an atmospheric EMP ever hit us and knocked us back into the Stone Ages, it will be some of you young whippersnappers who rebuild our country and go on to live in the new world of cyberspace. It would be an Internet with very few surviving archives, as I doubt many conservative websites have hardened servers and equipment.
Please do the rest of us a favor and be sure to tell people about Free Republic and all the stuff this place has done to protect our liberty and freedom.
And for heavens’ sake, don’t leave out the part about bringing down Lyin’ Dan Rather. :-)
EMP is for nerdy retards.
Anyone capable of launching a nuke into orbit isn’t going to waste it on trying to maybe create an EMP but would go for complete destruction of nuking cities instead.
Well, it’s a srep in the right direction considering a just a couple of days ago he had a guest on who did a whole Hitler/ Trump analysis.
I listened until I fell asleep.
Thanks for posting this. It is serious threat that could be dealt with for about $2 Billion, he said. That’s chump change today.
Frame it as protecting essential infrastructure as a way to battle terrorists.
If you talk EMP or some sort of prepper’ scenarios, then you will lose a lot of people/support.
