WASHINGTON – A long-suppressed report prepared by the Department of Homeland Security for the Defense Department concludes that North Korea could deliver on its threats to destroy the United States with a nuclear electromagnetic pulse attack.
The report remains blocked from release to the American public.
However, a copy obtained by Peter Vincent Pry from sources within DHS finds North Korea could use its Unha-3 space launch vehicle to deliver a nuclear warhead as a satellite over the South Pole to attack the U.S. from the south.

You make another good point. However, I don’t know we can expect the USAF to know what is inside a Chinese satellite.
I’m not too worried.
Their leader doesn’t seem bright enough to have the ability to operate an electric can opener.
If you want to discuss this freepmail me.
Scary stuff! If it were from a source more reliable than WND, I’d be extremely worried.
So all the tanks, bullets, swat teams, thugs and goons are to take on the North Koreans? I wish.
You would think, but, I don’t know.
Good luck with that.
Even a small EMP could damage several states. The power grid will likely fail. The service trucks to fix the grid probably wont start. Without power, it wont matter if your electronics are fried or not.
Without power, grocery stores, pharmacies, & gas stations are closed - no food & no gas for a generator or working vehicle. No medicines or prescriptions available. Safe water will become hard to find. Disease & starvation are likely. The sick, disabled, & elderly will suffer the most.
In about 2 weeks, anarchy will rule the streets & neighborhoods of the effected area. Police will be powerless to stop the looting & violence. Martial law will be needed but slow in coming - see Katrina.
Nationally, the stock market will crash, possibly taking the world markets with it - a nuclear war has started. Prices & lines will form in areas untouched by the blast because of the disruption to national commerce. Refugees will stream out of the area, requiring food & shelter.
The recovery period for the area & our nation could be months or years. Complete recovery may never occur. The people most likely to survive such a disaster will be those living in rural or remote areas who have some self sufficiency & supplies. City folks are mostly doomed by either dehydration, starvation, disease, or violence.
It is dangerously foolish to allow a lunatic to possess such weapons. Un & China need to be told than Un has 90 days to destroy his nuclear program or the USA will do it for him & destroy his regime in the process.
Unfortunately, we have a weak, unAmerican President who wont do a thing to stop NK. Too, I blame GWB for failing to stop it, either.
It would make Katrina look like a Sunday social in Amish country.
Space Command isn’t in Cheyenne Mountain. They do have a pretty good idea of whats up there though.
The Mountain has mostly been mothballed.
Time to arrange a nuclear “accident” or two at their nuke facilities.
Depends on the size of the weapon and the altitude of detonation. Translation: I don't know!
That’s how Israel would handle it.
But, rural areas will fair better, with fewer people seeking scarce resources. Everybody knows everybody in the country, so cooperation is more likely than anarchy. Rural America wont panic nearly as quick as city folk, if at all.
