>>We saw a fistfight at a gas line in a town of 1,200 people during a gas “shortage” on Y2K day. No place is immune.
I finally added some body armor to my gun collection after Irma. Too many impatient people with no value for human life.
Ridiculous. You can’t possible believe that?
No agriculture. No communications. No production of petroleum products. No Coal. No traffic on the highways. No rail traffic.
That is what no electricity and no communications means.
One season without significant agriculture, and 90% of the people die. It is that simple.
How do you avoid it? 60% of people live in big cities. How do you get them to the fields where they will have to plant and harvest food to make it through the winter, without transport and communication?
Having electricity and communications down over most of the U.S. for a year is very unlikely, but I do not see how you avoid the consequences if that were to happen.
What a pile of BS. Are these the same 50 IQ apes who predicted that the world would end if Saddam set fire to the oilfields of Kuwait back in 1991?
Americans have lived without running water and electricity. They were called your great great grandparents.
Great great grandparents for me would be 1880’s. The population in 1880 was 50 million. You have to kill off 85% of the U.S. population, just to reach that level.
I think we are much tougher than the fear-mongering novels imply. But, given their proposed level of destruction of the grid and communications, a 90% drop is believable.
That’s fictional garbage. I’ve had the necessary training and education to know better.
You should concern yourselves with the fact that any EMP device headed our way will precede large nuclear weapons exchanges that will, in fact, destroy all who are unprepared to avoid eating fallout. The sure way for that to happen is to continue pushing our leaders to recede from the bully nations and allow their smaller lap dog neighbors to continue their ongoing nuclear weapons buildups.
Now is the best time to terminate the nuclear weapons programs of the two smaller rogue nations. If we don’t do so, those nations will continue to build up and inevitably launch against us with no provocation. That is the purpose of those two nations: to make way for two larger nations to follow through with much larger nuclear strikes against us.
EMP strikes will not destroy all electronic appliances or vehicles in the U.S.A. EMP strikes will not shut down power grids for any great length of time, if the associated power companies have enough transformers and other needed hardware ready to install.
And end the pushes of homeowners’ associations and other thieving entities trying to outlaw single family PV solar electric plants. Such greed, envy, ignorance and foolishness works against our readiness as a nation.
That’s my new favorite.
Repeat a lie often enough...
“Including 90% of the State Department, EPA, et al?”
hehe
Where is the “No this crap again, guy.”
...I finally added some body armor to my gun collection after Irma. Too many impatient people with no value for human life...
One savvy body armor manufacturer named it’s product “Infidel Body Armor” to prevent/ deter one particular group from putting it on.
And the sun is 90 million miles away.
90%? That is preposterous.
What do you mean no agriculture? An EMP attack will not kill one cow.

“May contain pork products”??
But she’s on my bucket list too.
” . . . the electromagnetic pulse turned all the one and zeros into plain old zeros . . .”
She’s mine, so just forget it!
You take that bucket of yours and fill it with cold water and pour it over yourself and just forget about her!
If I wasn’t married and if she wasn’t married, well, she’d probably just walk past me without noticing me, but that doesn’t mean she needs to notice you!
This is an unusually clever way to turn your screen name into a double entendre.
