Dr. Peter Pry (Executive Director of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security) warns that the consequences - of not being prepared for this event - are much more severe than one may think:
“within a year of an EMP event at least 2 thirds or the us population will perish from starvation, disease and social collapse”
Former CIA double agent (Reza Kahlili) who spent time in the Iranian Army confirmed that the Iranian have conducted missile tests of ships in the Caspian See that are consistent with an EMP attack:
“They are going to get to the Gulf of Mexico with ballistic missiles and they can launch one at a moment’s notice and they wouldn’t care about the repercussions”
Mostly because they can sink the vessel leaving no traces and because the US won’t be able to retaliate!
What if you woke up one morning and nothing worked? What if there was no electricity? What if all transportation came to a halt?
An EMP event would instantly destroy any means of telecommunication, bank account would disappear, planes would fall from the skies, nuclear plants would not be able to cool down the reactors, we would have no running water (water pumps) and every piece of electronics we use from pacemakers to phones to gasoline pumps would stop!
Your refrigerator will stop working and all your food will spoil in a matter of days! If you and your family are not together, you won’t be able to contact or see them.
This is a catastrophic threat and North Korea, China, Iran, Russia and even ISIS… they all understand it and they are all working on it.

true!
It’s my first post. I don’t know how things work here. I saw people post excerpts. I’ll post the whole article next time. Thanks!
Thanks!
When one considers a near total loss of modern medical care, food and energy distribution...and the roving bands of zombies, 2/3 is not so far fetched.
You can starve to death in 100 days or less.
Dysentery is often a fatal disease without drugs and sanitation.
I can only surmise you believe the damage to these systems would not be as dire as the pundits suspect?
Correct.
I flew in aircraft that had the windows shielded with lead.
>> I can only surmise you believe the damage to these systems would not be as dire as the pundits suspect?
I tend to listen to engineers over hyperventilating pundits.
Damage from an EMP? sure. Widespread? Probably. 90%+ dead in a year? Paranoid hyperbole.
Anyone who feels otherwise is, of course, free to choose to live their lives and spend their dough as their irrational fears dictate. It’s still a free country, at least in that regard.
I have more productive things to do with my time and treasure though.
10MT, 200 miles above St Louis.
That would cause nationwide impact.
Welcome to FR, for what it’s worth, when people post their whole article from their blog, I generally do the courtesy of clicking on their site.
Five things everyone will be REQUIRED to have in Obama directive 4592EMP-4.
1)Hard copy of “Dreams from my Father”
2)Hard copy of “The Audactiy of Hope”
3)Hand-crank record player
4)Complete selection of all Obama speeches since 2004 pressed on lacquer or carbon neutral vinyl.
5)Obama commemorative plate
The ONLY thing Obama cares about with the possibility of an EMP is not being seen on every single electronic broadcast 24/7.
The Army is already hardening its equipment against EMP’s. NORAD has recently moved all its communication gear back to the Nuclear Base under the Cheyenne Mountain (EMP hardened). They try to do things but they are slow!
if you have an old car (1987) you can consider it shielded against an EMP. Otherwise it all depends on the power of the EMP. If you watch the video at the end of the article you’ll see exactly what it does to the car.
A conservative 1 in 8 would take themselves back across the border giving LA a few more weeks of survival.
PING!
That won’t happen for at least another two years. This president seems intent on weakening America, so I doubt that he’ll do anything to actually strengthen us.
Store up lots of bbq sauce. The fresher ones could be sold along with a couple bottles of sauce.

As you get older, you get used to it. :) LOL!!!!!
Why didn't you post a link to it here?
Were you maybe hoping to drive traffic somewhere?
