Congresswoman: “100% Chance of a Severe Geo-Magnetic Event Capable of Crippling Our Electric Grid”
SHTF Plan ^ | 9/3/13 | Mac Slavo

Posted on 09/03/2013 4:18:38 PM PDT by Kartographer

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.

'corn processing plant'

Currently unlawful without lots of hoop jumping for the burro-craps, but yeah, it's not too hard to squeeze corn.

I’ve run the headline through my Newspeak-English translator.

In plain English it says:

Congresswoman: “100% Chance of a Severe Geo-Magnetic Event Being Blamed When We Deliberately Cripple Our Electric Grid”

“somewhere someplace there is a record of radical leftists talking about the need to extinguish millions of people.”

That may have been Saul Alinsky, Hussein's hero, who thought there were too many people in the world. He, of course, would want to eliminate rich people and give their money to the poor (or to himself and his friends). Alinsky is no longer alive, but his book for radicals lives on in the heart and mind of people like Hussein and Hilary Clinton.

Bill Gates says there are too many people in the world but he doesn't advocate getting rid of them by criminal means.

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.

Sorry, but paper books do still exist ya know

Friend of Obama, Bill Ayers:
I asked, "Well what is going to happen to those people we can't reeducate, that are diehard capitalists?" And the reply was that they'd have to be eliminated.

And when I pursued this further, they estimated they would have to eliminate 25 million people in these reeducation centers.

And when I say "eliminate," I mean "kill."

Twenty-five million people.

I want you to imagine sitting in a room with 25 people, most of which have graduate degrees, from Columbia and other well-known educational centers, and hear them figuring out the logistics for the elimination of 25 million people and they were dead serious.

If it could be done, it would already have been done.

These people would be fun in a poker game.

Hey, I grew up crawling through the swamps of West Tennessee ... I know a thing or two about roughing it.

Unfortunately that was a long time ago, and these days I'm working hard to get back into "fighting trim" ... I'm afraid I'm not going to get there before SHTF, though.

One of the many pleasantries of being in the backwoods of the Rockies is a near complete absence of hoops and 'burro-craps' ... Filed gently alongside of the law of the 3 S's. ; )

I’m sure it’s already been mentioned but Snowden did warn of a Solar Killshot in August. Maybe it’s late. Maybe I should ditch my morals and go cannibal. I’m starting with the fat ones, who I can render into frying oil. Then neighbor jerky... produced from Jerk Neighbors.

Not if no one knows you have it.

...they’ve got he fema, the nsa, the homeland security, the military and countless other groups owned by the fed govt....its all in place seemingly...

I swear, you're the most paranoid person on this website. I'll bet you have nightmares of being abducted by IRS auditors, and thrown into a FEMA camp....I mean, gulag.

I'm reminded of the hens in the movie, 'Chicken Run'.

There may be life after death.

May be? I can remember things too far back to discuss on this site.
