U.S. on alert for nuclear blast overhead

What he’s saying is that both Iran and North Korea have each more than likely already put 2 super EMP’s into orbit at the precise altitude needed for an EMP attack

While I'm sure these evil folks would desire to accomplish this, I'm pretty dubious that they have executed the plan.

HEre’s the link.

It’s a must-read.

I highly doubt that has happened. If the Iranians try something it will more likely be running a tramp steamer up along the NE coast and putting up a missile then detonating it about 50 miles up. It would be easier to scuttle a ship and leave less trace as to who the culprit was.

If the Iranians and/or NK’s had anything up our guys at Cheyenne Mountain would know all about it. They monitor everything that goes up and they can tell you how many times its been around. Plus we have killer satellites in orbit that can take stuff out.

It’s quite interesting, thanks.
I’ll leave it to more knowledgeable FReepers to critique.

Butter, I read that earlier today and appreciate your posting it here. Here’s the bio of the man who wrote the article - he ought to know.

Dr. Peter Vincent Pry is Executive Director of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security and Director of the U.S. Nuclear Strategy Forum, both congressional advisory boards, and served in the Congressional EMP Commission, the Congressional Strategic Posture Commission, the House Armed Services Committee, and the CIA.

I like your thoughts!

I am a pessimist by nature, I say, realist.
nevertheless, this article points out our vulnerability to such an attack. It is very feasible, but requires sophistication, maybe N Korea does not have. But other nations do. I would not doubt there are “nuclear powered” satellites floating above our heads that can be “redirected”.

Even God works his will through the hands of “foreign” nations... (Babylon)

Change can come from within, Yes a change will occur.

Thanks for the Reply, You may be right. (you Optimist!)

IIRC the WND article said that they ARE monitoring what is up there.

Somehow I think killer satellites in orbit would have to be approved by the same supposed CINC who left our guys in Benghazi on a roof to die unaided.

And that’s why America is within a hair’s width of her life. The enemy is in the building.

Yes, he was. Albeit I note that somehow the F-15A ASAT program was secretively dismantled right at the end of his term in ‘88 supposedly, although at the time I heard it was really done during the middle of GHW Bush’s term. I have heard lately a LOT of misrepresentations of his actual history made against Reagan.

Well we are shopping alternative electrical systems because we think the grid is going down from something at some point and a lot of people will be living in misery. We do not want to be in that position.

I don’t think Iran is worried about anybody knowing who hit America with an EMP. Once it’s done there won’t be any American media. There won’t be any retaliatory hits - not under Obama; he’s on their team. He privately told the Egyptian ambassador in January of 2010 that he was and still is a Muslim who supports the Muslim agenda, and once he got Obamacare passed he would start working on the Muslim agenda. The agenda all sects of Islam agree on is the destruction of the US and Israel and the institution of worldwide sharia. Zawahiri authorized the use of nukes on the US first and then on Israel so there would be nobody to help Israel. Ahmadinejad has been boasting for the last few years about how Iran is going to destroy the US. He is not one bit afraid of people knowing who wipes out the USA; it’s a badge of honor in his eyes.

That sounds like a smart move.

I think the biggest difficulty for those who prepared for something like this would be dealing with the people who didn’t - specifically protecting themselves from the desperate. It’s an ugly picture.

The left love Revisionist History and use it when it suits them.

It’s not the first time that I said this, but EMP them first.

Ironic, in view of the nighttime photographs of Nork from space...

[lwoodham]

"We'd have to drop leaflets telling them they've been EMP'd."

Laughing my a$$ off :)

[lwoodham]

"Won't work. They've only got one light bulb in the whole country, and it runs on two D cell batteries."

Ok, so no EMP. The one light in those nighttime images is the little midget's palace. He left the light on for us. Just target that light with an extra large fuel air bomb. Problem solved.

“I think the biggest difficulty for those who prepared for something like this would be dealing with the people who didn’t - specifically protecting themselves from the desperate. It’s an ugly picture.”

We have already prepared for that certain eventuality. :-)

They would/could shoot it from a cargo ship 200 miles off shore. We could never stop it.

[Vermont Lt]

And we could not put medium bombers on an aircraft carrier to bomb Tokyo. Until we did.

Time for the ultimate solution:

Nuke Washington D.C.

[butterdezillion]

I should have guessed that from your tag line. lol.

Good for you! Seems like you’re prepared (as much as anybody can be).
