Interestingly enough the “Smart Grid” is by-design EXTRAORDINARILY susceptible to EM interference (that is to say that it is virtually begging an EMP attack); conversely, ‘hardening’ the power transmission grid would make it utterly impossible to implement a ‘SmartGrid.’
I’m far more in favor of the second option: hardening the grid at the future ‘expense’ of eliminating any possibility of the “smartgrid” ever being implemented. Having said that, it is all too possible that those in power want the opposite, after all a significant portion of them believe things like “global overpopulation” and “anthropogenic global ‘climate change’” to be settled/unquestionable fact.
I completely agree. The elitists routinely kill off the masses when it suits their purpose.
Nothing dumber than a “smart grid.”
If it was China, the range will be set so that one could swing a compass from the launch point and cover the entire lower 48. I predict they will wait until President Obummer makes some feeble attempt at a cover story, then they will show the world video of the sub crew launching the missile, along with surface video taken from nearby pleasure vessels capturing the SLBM broaching the surface, along with telemetry data and video of it in the landing zone.
This is a people who are developing GPS guided nuclear weapons, which have only one purpose, first strike. They have more than just EMP weapons, they favor the one weapon Jimmy Caddaa killed, the neutron warhead. Besides their national pride,...they are looking for wives.
