Read “One Second After” to get a picture of what we could be faced with...not a political happening but from am EMP...Pretty scary reading. My second time through it and it’s even more scary now than when I read it the first time. I can see our future becoming this as we let China take us over...people killing others for something to eat; no food, no medication, no refrigeration, no cars except the old ones they can get enough gas for...I wonder if this is “darkness” Biden is thinking of...
“”In this entertaining apocalyptic thriller from Forstchen (We Look Like Men of War), a high-altitude nuclear bomb of uncertain origin explodes, unleashing a deadly electromagnetic pulse that instantly disables almost every electrical device in the U.S. and elsewhere in the world. Airplanes, most cars, cellphones, refrigerators—all are fried as the country plunges into literal and metaphoric darkness...””

“Boom Boom Out goes the lights!”
This dumbass knows NOTHING about national security interests.
Time to stop making our meds in China as well.
The marxist sued the crap out of Trump when he revoked eo’s from Obama. Who, on our side, is suing the crap out of them? Or will Rs roll over again?
Yeah, duh.
Jao Xiden in action.
I read that book. The concept was good and it could have been a good story, IF someone else wrote it.
Forstchen is a mediocre writer, and he never misses an opportunity to throw in maudlin scenes of weepy characters breaking down over old show tunes.

In future China will employ millions of American workers and dominate thousands of
small communities all over the United States . Chinese acquisition of U.S. businesses set a new all-time record last year, and it is on pace to shatter that record this year.
The Smithfield Foods acquisition is an example. Smithfield Foods is the largest pork producer and processor in the world. It has facilities in 26 U.S. states and
it employs tens of thousands of Americans. It directly owns 460 farms and has contracts with approximately 2,100 others. But now a Chinese company has
bought it for $ 4.7 billion, and that means that the Chinese will now be the most important employer in dozens of rural communities all over America .
Thanks in part to our massively bloated trade deficit with China, the Chinese have trillions of dollars to spend. They are only just starting to exercise
their economic muscle.
It is important to keep in mind that there is often not much of a difference between “the Chinese government” and “Chinese corporations”. In 2011, 43 percent of all profits in China were produced by companies where the Chinese
government had a controlling interest in.
Last year a Chinese company spent $2.6 billion to purchase AMC entertainment – one of the largest movie theater chains in the United States. Now that Chinese company controls more movie ticket sales than anyone else in the world.
But China is not just relying on acquisitions to expand its economic power.
“Economic beachheads” are being established all over America . For example,
Golden Dragon Precise Copper Tube Group, Inc. recently broke ground on a $100 million plant in Thomasville , Alabama. Many of the residents of Thomasville , Alabama will be glad to have jobs, but it will also become yet another community that will now be heavily dependent on communist China .
And guess where else Chinese companies are putting down roots?
Detroit.
Chinese-owned companies are investing in American businesses and new vehicle
technology, selling everything from seat belts to shock absorbers in retail
stores, and hiring experienced engineers and designers in an effort to soak up the talent and expertise of domestic automakers and their suppliers. If you recently purchased an “American-made” vehicle, there is a really good chance that it has a number of Chinese parts in it. Industry analysts are hard-pressed to put a number on the Chinese suppliers operating in the United States .
China seems particularly interested in acquiring energy resources in the United States.
For example, China is actually mining for coal in the mountains of Tennessee.
Guizhou Gouchuang Energy Holdings Group spent 616 million dollars to acquire Triple H Coal Co. in Jacksboro, Tennessee. At the time, that acquisition really didn’t
make much news, but now a group of conservatives in Tennessee is trying to stop the Chinese from blowing up their mountains and taking their coal.
And pretty soon China may want to build entire cities in the United States just like they have been doing in other countries. Right now China is actually
building a city larger than Manhattan just outside Minsk , the capital of Belarus.
Are you starting to get the picture?
China is on the rise. If you doubt this, just read the following:
# When you total up all imports and exports, China is now the number one trading nation on the entire planet.
# Overall, the U.S. has run a trade deficit with China over the past decade that comes to more than 2.3 trillion dollars.
# China has more foreign currency reserves than anyone else on the planet.
# China now has the largest new car market in the entire world.
# China now produces more than twice as many automobiles
as the United States does.
#After being bailed out by U.S. taxpayers, GM is involved in 11 joint ventures with Chinese companies.
# China is the number one gold producer in the world.
# The uniforms for the U.S. Olympic team were made in China.
# 85% of all artificial Christmas trees the world over are made in China.
# The new World Trade Center tower in New York is going
to include glass imported from China .
# China now consumes more energy than the United States does.
# China is now in aggregate the leading manufacturer of goods in the entire world.
# China uses more cement than the rest of the world combined.
# China is now the number one producer of wind and solar power on the entire globe.
# China produces 3 times as much coal and 11 times as much
steel as the United States does.
# China produces more than 90 percent of the global supply of rare earth elements.
# China is now the number one supplier of components that are critical to the operation of any national defense system.
# In published scientific research articles China is expected to become number one in the world very shortly.
And what we have seen so far may just be the tip of the iceberg.
For now, I will just leave you with one piece of advice - learn to speak Chinese.
You are going to need it

All part of the “purge”!
Even as corrupt as the USA is with the election and all, China’s corruption is deathly to then. They cheat at everything and with each other including in reporting debt, productivity, .,., Who will implode first ? My guess is there is a country or a confederation that will catch everyone by surprise. Brazil, India, Eastern Europe? I don’t know. My guess is Eastern Europe. We need to beef up them militarily and economically so there is a future.
Oh, I think he knows it’s a matter of national security.. But he just doesn’t care.
Thank God Texas has it’s own power grid.
Every major powers will go down. What matters is the order of downfall. The one who goes down last will fare the best among them, relatively speaking. A country can be eaten by another following it. A country can hold on longer if it devours another country which fell down before it.
What good excuse would there be for doing this? He’s not even trying to pretend anymore.
yea its real and our enemy is here..
For those who were somehow managing to still sleep soundly at night. This will put a stop to that.
I don’t think I knew there were a couple of sequels to it so I’ll look for them on thriftbooks....got tired of the library opening and closing and opening and closing so have been buying $4.00 used books; read them and then give them away. When I don’t have anything new (different), I resort to re-reading what’s on my bookshelves and that’s where “One Second After” was.
Also remember “Doctor Zhivago” when the people had to burn books for heat in their homes that they had to share because the Pelosis and Schumers of the day said so!!
Just something about reading this the second time that thoughts of “what if” keep creeping into my mind because of our predicament in our country now. WE are the enemy to those in power...One line in the book sticks in my mind:
“What a world we once had.”
My gosh, could we do what the people in that book did to survive - the fighting we could do but the other? Like giving your dead dog to a neighbor family because they’re worse off than your family and are starving? That’s after you had to shoot it because it was attacked and suffering by thieves breaking into your house for food..
I don’t recall the first time I read it feeling like we COULD perhaps be faced with something like it some day..maybe age??? More likely, what we are seeing and not wanting to believe that 2020 brought us!!
Thanks for your comment.
Incredible.... And people don’t remember OUR PRESIDENT criticizing China 25-30 years ago!! He was in a position to know and said so. The “idiots” of which there are many thought his criticisms of China after 2017 were all related to Biden and his corrupt son!! Where was Biden all that time? Oh - right - in the US Senate and VP of the US..pulling all those corrupt strings!
Great post...thanks.
