While the total wipeout depicted in One Second After is probably exaggerated, the effects could knock out our power grid for months, and destroy critical communications and computer systems. As former CIA chief James Woolsey recently said:
If you look at the electric grid and what it's susceptible to, we would be moving into a world with no food delivery, no water purification, no banking, no telecommunications, no medicine. All of these things depend on electricity in one way or another.
In such a situation, there simply is no way to rule out the possibility that hundreds of millions could die.

Fatso had a artillery display recently and it seems to me, a few Sensor Fused Stiches could end this all very quickly. Not a very good tactical decision putting all these together.
Russians EMP effects in 1962
Ihttp://www.futurescience.com/emp/test184.html
:
Electromagnetic pulse is a strange and mysterious phenomenon to most of the general public. Even for most of us who have read and studied a lot about EMP over the years, something that is even more strange and mysterious is the Soviet Union’s series of nuclear tests in space, most notably the test known only as K-3 or Test 184. These EMP-producing tests were done over a large populated land mass in Kazakhstan. Even though the economic state of Kazakhstan in 1962 was quite primitive by today’s standards, it was heavily industrialized and electrified... (more at link)
I’ve been told that old microwaves make excellent faraday cages for smaller objects.
I've used it for years as a water purifier - it's always worked for me.
What??
But it is still nuclear based
Since those two satellites may well be nuclear delivery devices, perhaps they should have some sort of "accident".
A few billion dollars could be spent if it is a priority. If not for an EMP attack just to shield the grid from a Carrington type solar event. It doesn’t have to be spent all at once but over a two-four year period it makes sense to secure the grid.
Of all your wisdom excreted onto this thread, this is perhaps the most underrated, profound, and most ignored.
I look at our country and culture from a sociological perspective, and I posit that the neighbor that currently merely does not like you would, when the going gets tough, be perfectly willing to slit your child's throat if it meant one more day of life for them.
Civilization, morality, and civility is a thin veneer. Simply put, many folks nowadays are self-serving pricks. You see it on the roads. You see it in your interactions with strangers.
Thank you for your honesty - many here on this thread seem to not want to face unpleasant facts, and prefer to fall back on their preferences as to how the world should be, rather than how it is. That is refreshing.
And, yes, we have to be very worried about Nork nukes, given that the guy in charge over there has a whole drawer full of loose screws rolling around under that ugly haircut. He’s just the type to try to take down everyone around if he thinks that he’s on the way out.
Well, to be like a dementocrat, EVERYBODY on FR MUST like things the way I like them. Or else! You have been warned. LOL!
“That’s what all the guns and ammo are for.”
“Also, I can also build a smokeless fire to boil water indoors, no problem.”
I’d be very glad if they had an “accident,” preferably one preceeded by a couple milliseconds by a very bright, coherent light.
Alas, since nukes don’t put out a lot of radiation (almost none, in fact) until detonated, we just about can’t know whether they are aboard these satellites or not. I assume so. Hence the “accident” had better be simultaneous, or nearly so.

Any time you fight, your risk (and that of your loved ones) of not surviving goes up.,,,THAT is where the fun comes in.
8 drops per gallon
Correct. The current “normalcy bias” is that most Americans don’t realize how fragile this “economy” is after 8 disastrous years of The Manchurian Candidate which followed W. spending like a drunken (whatever).
95 million of us know it first-hand and it’s eye-popping in starkness.
[when people are willing to trample each other to get $50 off of a big-screen TV on Black Friday, what do you think that theyll do when their kids are starving to death and there are no cops?]
Which is why I believe large cities will eventually become no-go-zones.
Thank you.
