North Korea openly threatens EMP attack for the first time, changing the game
BY ANTHONY FUREY, POSTMEDIA NETWORK
The news Sunday morning that North Korea had launched what appeared to be its sixth nuclear test and most powerful one to date is troubling enough.
But a statement from the rogue regime took things to a whole new level. The North said it had tested an H-bomb that was a multi-functional thermonuclear nuke with great destructive power which can be detonated at high altitudes for super-powerful EMP (electromagnetic pulse) attack according to strategic goals.
This is the first time it has publicly mentioned its interest and ability in an EMP attack, a devastating weapon that could have catastrophic consequences for North America, the West and their closer neighbours.
An EMP attack, as I detail in my new book Pulse Attack, is a nuclear detonation that occurs in the atmosphere and creates a waveform that can take down the electrical grid below.
In the worst case scenario, this wouldnt just shut off the power for minutes or hours, but weeks or even months, due to serious damage to transformer stations and other integral elements of our power infrastructure.
This wouldnt just mean we couldnt turn on our laptops and televisions; it would shut down our telecommunications, transportation, water systems, our ability to get food to cities and much more.

You’re welcome. Actually I think just as you do. I don’t think some people grasp how serious this is.
We can imagine what it will be like when Iran gears up. If NK isn’t dealt with now, it will send a message to Iran that there will be no consequences, so they might as well go for it.
Well, I agree. It's very serious and many millions of us will die, horribly, painfully, and alone.
I just cannot work up a give-a-shit, though.
The human race deserves 100% extinction -- we are sinful and derelict beyond all measure -- and luckily, we are likely to get that, our demise, before we develop Faster-Than-Light travel, and pollute the rest of our galaxy.
The Lord God loves us -- I have zero idea why -- and the very end-times are upon us.
Thankfully.
Who's about to cool to room temp very soon.
If Kim was to be the victim of an accident, who would be the next in line?
Laz, normally I absolutely love your sarcasm and humor. However, today is not the day and this is not the thread.
Please just stop.
I choose the latter.
I am so angry at our former administrations,
*********
How about that dumb sh*t Congressman Fred Upton R- Mich.,whose committee should have addressed this 5 years ago and hardened America’s electric infrastructure.
Nope. Won’t stop. These are the End Times. They were spoken about in Revelations, I saw a wonderful post about it on this forum. It’s bottom of the ninth inning, baby, and I will crack-wise right until the last pitch and the last bat is swung.
As a Christian, I will not go to my grave morose or depressed...
I grieve for those who remain...
However, what if I prefer not to go to my grave right now?!?!
Perhaps I want to enjoy retirement and my grandchildren...
Suit yourself...
Just don’t crack them at me.
I have to agree. Things are beyond repair and no man or men can solve this terrible mess in the world. Only He will do that.
my dtr lives in Portland Oregon....
this is frightening...
Dennis Rodman.
any solution that leaves Kim in charge of nuclear weapons is too dangerous to the US.
Yeah those are the monsters behind chain fences at electric sub-stations. The transportation infrastructure required to transport them would no longer exist. Classic Catch 22: you desperately need the restoration of the electrical grid, but the very components you need cannot be moved into position - because you lack electricity.
You make very good points and this could easily lead to WW III. This time the continental United States will suffer.
“An EMP attack, as I detail in my new book Pulse Attack, is a nuclear detonation that occurs in the atmosphere and creates a waveform that can take down the electrical grid below.”
Not unless, with enough NatSec notice, most likely affected grid segments are shut down first. And you think our NatSec planners do not understand that, not matter what has been said publicly??
OH, and I will add that though we may very well be in the end times (please provide your credentials as a Bible scholar to indicate we are as fact), there could be a lot of hardship between now and the rapture.
I don’t think knowing Bible prophesy should mean that we laugh off an EMP attack by the Norks.
