Who needs an EMP when we have a president who will achieve the same goal.
Sounds real uplifting ... read it before bed and never sleep again.
Sounds interesting. Thanks for the scoop. I may pick up a copy.
I don’t want to think about this kind of stuff. If things go badly i’ll go out in a blaze of glory defending my stuff. I’ll be like the guy riding the A-bomb out out the bomb bay (can’t remember his name)
I read it shortly after it was published. It is a sobering and IMHO probably quite accurate prediction of what this country would be like in a post-EMP situation.
I also believe that more than likely this is exactly what Ahmadinejad has in mind for us.

I read the entire book and I recommend it highly for you guys to so!
It provided much sobering thought how a simple weapon can wreck such civilization as we know it!
And that weapon exists today!
Think about it!
On my shelf already. Just haven’t gotten to read it yet.
Too bad life isn't quite like that. It is Hobbesian. Nasty, short, and brutish. But these fools still believe the ‘police’ of today believe in service when they taser granny, or blow a pastor away in the foolishly named ‘drug war’.
They will be the first to be killed by that Hobbesian world, because they are the weak fools that think todays society is geared to protect them from the ‘bad guys’.
Fools. But they still think themselves superior. Too funny. They will die wondering what the f**k happened.
Read it a couple months ago. Highly recommended.
That was a scary, scary book, especially for an insulin-dependent diabetic. I immediately starting researching propane refrigerators and found out that RVs have them. One thing, the author doesn’t know any women who garden - I fell over laughing when he wrote about searching out old women who still remembered the lost art of canning. That was about the only bright moment in the book.
Thanks for the book recommendation! I’ll have to check it out.
Thanks for the reminder. I heard the author interviewed on one of the radio talk shows...very knowledgeable guy.
Quick question: Is the damage done after an EMP permanent or temporary? That is is the car’s computer and circuity and alternator fried completely, or is it stunned and then resets and can be used again. What about computer circuitry?
I put that one on my wish list. Must see if I can find it cheap somewhere.
I read it. Scared me, but I recommend it.
God Bless our Navy and Country.
I learned about EMP in the 80s while on active duty. A 1MT device detonated 400 miles over Kansas would take out every computer chip from Maine to Baja California, not to mention the power grid and most of the stuff connected to it. Tens of millions would be dead of starvation within a couple months. This is the ultimate doomsday scenario for our miserable “what about me” culture. Not very many positives in the scenario. And with nuclear proliferation ... and many who feel they “have nothing to lose”... it will happen eventually.
The Congress was briefed EMP in the 80s, and it was after the briefing that they passed a unanimous resolution to proceed with ABM (anti-ballistic missile). That’s the way I heard it, anyway.
Unsurprisingly, Zero wants to kill the ABM program, the only thing that could prevent the EMP attack.
Extraordinary book. Hopefully for future printings they figure out that “would of,” “should of,” and “might of” are not correct. It’s an error made throughout the entire book, which is odd because it’s otherwise well-proofread.
If any women like Christian novels, Terry Blackstock wrote a four book series about the same type catastrophe. It is the Restoration series and the setting is Birmingham Al and suburbs to the south. The families were trying to survive in their neighborhoods as society broke down around them.
As a woman, it was interesting to see how the various members of the families coped with the hardships and the fears caused by this. Since all communications and most means of travel were wiped out they had no idea what had happened or how wide spread it was for a long time.
EMP is a tad overblown IMO. It can happen and it can affect limited areas, inversely proportional to the SQUARE OF THE DISTANCE from the event (i.e. the apparent strength drops off real fast).
The One and his progressive machine is for real. And everywhere.
