In an EMP-type situation it would be chaos, and the military (whose command center in Colorado - which they just moved back into not too long ago - is built into a mountain that is naturally hardened against the effects of an EMP) would easily see it as a service to fire on panicking American citizens. They’ve seen what happened in the mini-outbursts of rioting and criminality associated with the BLM crap.
Everything Obama’s done has brought us to a point where our enemies have the nuke it takes to attack us as they’ve said they would when they have the nuke to do it, and we have no southern radar defense to detect an attack and thwart it. The big bunker under the White House is ready to go, and Obama’s going to be out of the US in November and December. He doesn’t seem too worried about either Trump or Cruz winning, or Hillary possibly being in jail by election time, or Bernie Sanders being crazy. It’s almost as if he knows the election will be moot.
There’s a bunch more that should be considered as well - such as Janet Napolitano’s statements, FEMA buying patterns, the commmunist and Islamist connections Obama’s had his whole life long, a speech by Ghadaffi saying that foreign Muslims got Obama elected, etc. I think everybody feels in their gut that there is a cataclysmic event coming, and all Obama’s actions arming, training, funding, excusing, and importing our enemies has been working towards a climactic end, and I suspect it’ll be an EMP attack. God knows we’re vulnerable, and our now-armed enemies are fanatical enough to do it and have already practiced the delivery system for an EMP attack...
You are certainly right, it could be an EMP attack. Most Americans would die in the ensuing chaos.
It could also be a financial meltdown, or a cyber attack on the banking system.
Or it could be something as simple as assassination of Donald Trump (or Cruz, if lightning strikes). Arrange it for shortly before or shortly after the election. This would throw our political system into complete chaos.
There are of lots of ways to create a situation calling for martial law. Throw in a little terrorism just to make sure the pot boils and Voila! Our Dear Leader would have to step in and save us by ordering martial law. Not much risk to Dear Leader either. You could not even complain about it without the NSA knowing.
Presto! President for life!
If you are our beloved Dear Leader, what’s not to like?
An EMP attack would be unpredictable and would effect Mexico and Canada as well. Alaska and Hawaii would not be touched and under sea subs would not be touched. Its effects would be widespread but not uniform...many places might not be touched at all because of peculiarities of the Earth’s Magnetic fields. Also, it would have to be a night shot since the solar winds on the days side thin out the magnetic belts so that they are thicker on the night side....hence a day shot emp’s effects would be much more minimal in terms of area effected. You would have to fire a blanketing spread of emps at night, at just the right position and timed just right to get the kind of blanketing damage everyone is scared of...but here’s the catch....the effects will hit Canada, Mexico and Central America, even Cuba may be effected. There would be no United Nations, hence no theoretical locus of World Government control in a world wide chaos scenario. Yet there again, the effects will be unpredictable. One neighbor hood may have working gadgets and its power grid not effected another town might be totally knocked out. My car may start because it was near a grounded tower, yours might not. Towns near mountain ranges might not be touched while other on flat lands might be knocked back to 1850 electrically speaking. Batteries won’t be knocked out,old generators with no solid state electronics will work. It will be a mess and yes some may die...but it won’t be a total killer like some would hope...and our under sea subs can be called upon to take out North Korea or Iran if need be!
