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 wouldn’t 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 wouldn’t just mean we couldn’t 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 asked a question. The answer was there for you.
Don’t ask me to explain this to you. You’ve been here long enough to figure this one out on your own.
I didn’t ask you to read all the comments.
I merely asked you to read the one I responded to.
The tipping point came when NK gained autonomous ability to threaten (and seduce) the world — even China.
It’s an old story and it began with the forbidden fruit — the power to set up one’s own self centered moral calculus.
Did mankind make it possible and even egg it on (Eve to Adam)? Yes. Does the devil remain worse than the fallen humanity which imagines it is using, not being used by, the devil? Also yes.
Not unkindly I remind you — NK used China. China just thought it was using NK.
Clearer now?
May I help you off of that high horse?
It’s quite clear here.
You can keep posting anyway.
Thanks for the response.
If I were on one, I doubt you could help, being perched on your own.
It’s unclear how much of an effect an EMP will have on electronics not plugged in or powered in any way. Even a desktop computer has a small amount of current flowing through it when unplugged due to the little coin battery to maintain the time. Laptops of course have their onboard battery. It’s thought that the electric cord to devices will actually absorb and relay the pulse to the the inner circuits of devices.
That’s the thing; we really don’t know until it actually happens. It may turn out to only affect unshielded powered on devices.
“I merely asked you to read the one I responded to.”
Pssssttt ! (You’re wasting your time.):-)
.
And anyhow let’s get our eyes back on the ball. It’s NK that foremost needs to be squashed here. Not even China. You’ll far sooner see gospel wedge itself into China than NK as they both stand. The nuke side is God’s way of getting our attention. Nobody here is nervous about China’s nukes. Why would it nuke a great customer? China is wiser in that area. God has just erected a huge neon sign “EVIL” over NK for the world to see.
Let us pray NK be soon conquered with minimum bloodshed to its ignorant and powerless inhabitants.
And that China breathes a sigh of grateful relief. Yes it had to get this bad.
Apparently you stubbornly cling to the exact opposite.
Go ahead and reap the consequences. In the meantime I speak to the God-minded.
I appreciate the mention.
Been here before, if you catch my drift.
HiTech RedNeck, you’re so far out in Left Field it isn’t going to be productive to continue this discussion.
Take care.
How does quibble take away from a main point?
No, you are on Pluto
You wouldn’t know the God-Minded if they presented you with a business card signed by God.
Please pack up you false pseudo religious talk and leave me alone.
Yep, that was the first thing I did, found a good site to study from then found a local ham radio club who would give me the test. Within a month I had my technician license; the lowest of the 3 levels but all I really need. I have no interest in buying all that expensive equipment for long distance comm’s. I’ll leave that to those who are into it as a hobby. That isn’t me. It’s a tool; that’s all.
Preach that to a mirror OK?
Again a biblical hallmark of evil: it uses you while getting you to think you are using it.
What don’t you get about that?
You are deranged.
You’re train of thought doesn’t even make sense.
You flit from one idiotic subject to another, and then try to bring religion into it as if you’re a sage.
All you wind up doing is making it clear you aren’t one.
Talking to you doesn’t clarify things, so why are we doing this?
why are we doing this?
Maybe he’s doing his Kim Jung Un imitation.
“:^)
Man it’s super obvious what you are doing and the devil loves it.
You want to get all exercised with China when it’s now clear what the little worm that China only believed it was using was edging towards all the time. China is moot now and not even it can do a thing (how does a nuke on Beijing sound)? Let God deal with China’s guilt. We have a world problem with NK now. Not with China. The pyromaniacs took 60 years to set a fire. Call the fire department now. The police can wait.
Grok?
