Correction. It would turn out their light.

North Korea now has an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capable of delivering a nuclear weapon to the United States, as demonstrated by their successful launch and orbiting of a satellite on Dec. 12. Certain poorly informed pundits among the chattering classes reassure us that North Korea is still years away from being able to miniaturize warheads for missile delivery, and from developing sufficiently accurate missiles to pose a serious nuclear threat to the United States. Philip Yun, director of San Francisco’s Ploughshares Fund, a nuclear disarmament group, reportedly said, “The real threat from the launch was an overreaction that would lead to more defense spending on unnecessary systems. The sky is not falling. We shouldn’t be panicked.”
In fact, North Korea is a mortal nuclear threat to the United States— right now...
North Korea has labored for years and starved its people so it could develop an intercontinental missile capable of reaching the United States. Why? Because they have a special kind of nuclear weapon that could destroy the United States with a single blow.
In summer 2004, a delegation of Russian generals warned the Congressional Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Commission that secrets had leaked to North Korea for a decisive new nuclear weapon — a Super-EMP...
Any nuclear weapon detonated above an altitude of 30 kilometers will generate an electromagnetic pulse that will destroy electronics and could collapse the electric power grid and other critical infrastructures...
A Super-EMP warhead would not weigh much, and could probably be delivered by North Korea’s ICBM. The missile does not have to be accurate, as the EMP field is so large that detonating anywhere over the United States would have catastrophic consequences. The warhead does not even need a re-entry vehicle, as an EMP attack entails detonating the warhead at high-altitude, above the atmosphere.

“China has acquired all of our EMP knowledge from spies and commercial espionage.
Don’t forget Bill Clinton, Loral Corporation and Bernie Swartz.

Obama is a robot. If he is not EMP-hardened, Biden becomes president. Oh, wait. Biden is one, also. That leaves...

Obama keeps up the tradition Clinton Started

If you want to see where the Occupy Movement and the “share the wealth” program began, prayerfully read Is. 14 and Gn. 3.
God sits as supreme, and the devil wants to occupy it, not as he is worthy, as God is, but because he was the original liberal elite, who selfishly lusted to occupy the Administration building, requiring that God should share His glory.
The infamous “I wills:”
“For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. “ (Isaiah 14:13-14)
Being rejected for His unwarranted selfish exaltation (note that believers, being overcomers, will be seated with the Lord Jesus in His throne: (Rv. 3:21), he next worked to instill his victim entitlement mentality in Eve, insinuating that God was not dealing justly with her, that He was selfishly holding back His Divine knowledge from Eve, and that He should share the wealth, and thus take it by rebellion. Or so said the clay to the potter.
“And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. “ (Genesis 3:4-5)
The result is called the Fall, but “The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit,” (Psalms 34:18) as such trust the risen Lord Jesus to save them by His sinless shed blood.
“For every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. “ (Luke 18:14)
Thanks be to God.
Yes, short term gain, long term loss. And what of helping Russia so much that it was a race as to who would get to Berlin first (and get the atomic secrets). Etc. To this day we are fighting proxy wars.
Is there any way US could intercept an EMP missile before it could damage US?
You are reading too many novels. The federal government as presently constituted would never retaliate against an aggressor nation. Look at Benghazi. Americans were killed on American soil in a foreign country, by enemies of the U.S. Yet what did we do to retaliate? Hilary trips and bangs her head and can’t testify.
Thank you for this post.
... because Japan cannot foresee their own importance in the post-American world? At a very low price of not shooting a certain missile down when they aren't even legally required to do so?
Most submarines, tanks and military hardware is hardened to withstand an EMP strike (in case of nuclear war). Civilian hardware...not so much. The US could intercept a ballistic missile en route to US air space, however even with modern missile defense a lot of things have to go right. If it were fired from say a container ship 30 miles off the coast...we’d have no chance.
Well, I wish they’d hurry up with tossing that EMP our way!
At least it would undermine Obama’s plans for destroying America.
Next election would have paper ballots.
MSM influence would be gone.
The 47% who prefer to sit on their ass, will have to make new choices.
Well Armed Ants would be the survivors
Agree 100 percent with this. No Kim dynasties, no CPC dynasties, and the USSR would have been quite vulnerable if we were on their eastern borders. Never mind the multiple millions of deaths due to Asian communists that were preventable . . .

Correction. It would turn out their light.
Let’s look at the “One Second After” scenario.
An EMP weapon launched from a shipping vessel that immediately sinks so there is no evidence who did it.
Worst case, all communications are gone. Yes, we do have boomers everywhere but would the order come to attack? And who would we attack? The Norks? The Iranians? The Chinese? The Russians? All capable and all hate us. Would someone make a decision to strike all of them with the chance that most are innocent? I think not!
It is a very real possibility that it could be done and they could get away with it.
