Millions of Americans face catastrophic loss of electrical power during a future magnetic space storm that will disrupt the electric grid and cause cascading infrastructure failures, according to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) document.

So? All Americans have already lost their Constitution...

And yet here we sit, our thumbs planted firmly in our noses. Yes, I'm being nice.

“That urgency is from the knowledge that both parties are trying to kill America.”

There is absolutely no logical explanation for what they are doing as being good for America.

Orchestrate a collapse and replace the govt with one party rule is what appears to be taking place.

The talk of needing to control the amount of food people buy that has been popping up lately is what is becoming most disturbing.

And what if Obama’s DHS took advantage of the opportunity to selectively augment a natural occurring solar storm with
EMP weapons to create the social and economic disruption necessary to complete his Fundamental Transformation?
