The fall-out from a grid-down scenario would be absolutely devastating, as noted by a spokesman for the Center for Security Policy who recently responded to the potential for EMP capable weapons being deployed over the United States:
And experts forecast if such an attack were a success, it effectively could throw the U.S. back into an age of agriculture.
“Within a year of that attack, nine out of 10 Americans would be dead, because we can’t support a population of the present size in urban centers and the like without electricity,” said Frank Gaffney, president of the Center for Security Policy.

The one consistent agenda they have is that the earth is overpopulated.
It wasn't that hard to find, LOL
mine comes wrapped in paper aint no plastic
The Dems should be really scared of such an event. Cause the 10% that would be left and surviving well are highly likely to be preppers. And most preppers are really conservative.
“A country boy can survive” comes to mind
You’re possible right. However how many people really understand what happens when they flip the light switch. If you take out any meaningful percentage of the population will the remaining have the necessary knowledge? Will those that have the knowledge be in the same place as others with vital knowledge.
Probably in some places. Chances are it will take us 2000 years to claw our way back to current levels. Especially considering you have those who WANT to go back to the 7th century and will see this event as a sign from their pig loving prophet.
Not me, I’m gonna make it to 151

Obama is already doing everything possible to weaken the “electric grid”.
Well, that escalated quickly.
The Lear Jet Leftists absolutely would be okay with this.
They’d have America’s wealth and beatuty all to themselves — with the expectation of enslaving the Third World populations whose existence is independent of modern technology.

Well, we’ve got the departing head of DHS making statements that dovetail with this, and I just can’t bring myself to view such a staid, plodding oaf of a woman as being all that imaginative or even capable of making a risky speculative statement without assurance that it would be met with approval among her circle. So, they’re apparently being told this, and they’re viewing the source as credible. Why? Could be several things, most of which are politically motivated and therefore manipulative and not particularly fact-based, especially considering the source, but one of which would be a known threat.
Nope-
Do not need preppers- just good ol farmers and the like-
which is pretty much everyone in “FLY over “country-
The DEM from N.Y. - is probably concerned :
A. does not have a clue how to grow food or hunt
B. has NO weapon (not even a bow)
C. seen the losers who VOTED for her!!!
WELL.. I guess she should be concerned
True, present generation has a lot of knowledge, but the next will have less given most of our records are digital data on hard drives that will have been erased.
A huge culling of the population from simple starvation will take much more of that knowledge with them, followed by the ravaging of the Thunderdome phenomena where only the cruel and powerful survive. If we are lucky we may stabilize at the 1940s level of technology.
Have you considered being a flight surgeon? ;-)
Especially if they’ve ever eaten any tomato products.
if you are going to store it, get some water- tight wrapped ones and/or some storage bins
Colbert asked Clarke what she would tell 1898 Brooklynites if she went back in time, and she said she would tell them to “set me free.” Colbert wondered from what, and she replied: “Slavery.” Colbert also wondered who would still have had slaves in 1898, and Clarke offered that it was the Dutch. “Those sneaky Dutch bastards,” Colbert said. “Exactly,” Clarke returned...
Colbert dared to snark on a black female?
Holy sh!t.....
