Exclusive: Joseph Farah warns of 'Red Dawn' scenario becoming real-life catastrophe
Have you seen Red Dawn?
I dont mean the old movie starring the late Patrick Swayze.
It was good. But Im talking about the more recent version.
I hesitated watching it for a long time, mainly because I thought the producers of the movie sold out when they opted to substitute a North Korean invasion of the U.S. for what was originally planned as a more likely Chinese invasion.
Supposedly they did so because the Chinese movie market was too lucrative to pass up.
But, having seen it recently, and having followed the news of recent weeks, I think the producers made the right choice.
Watch trailer here:
The new Red Dawn is worth seeing as it comes to pay-per-view and video rental release.
Its not a bad action movie.
But, more than that, the tactic that facilitates a joint North Korean and Russian invasion of the U.S. is the one I would use if I were trying to take down the U.S. quickly and efficiently and inexpensively.
I wont ruin the movie for you by telling you the invaders use what is described in the script as a new weapon.
Its actually not new at all. Its relatively old technology called an electro-magnetic pulse. The power of an EMP attack was first recognized during the Cold War era. Its a power that has the potential to defeat overnight Americas strength technology.
And thats exactly what happens in the new Red Dawn.
If I were the lunatic Kim Jong-un, its how I would use at least one of my nine nuclear weapons in taking down the U.S. something he threatens to do on nearly a daily basis now.
As F. Michael Maloof explains so adeptly

I don’t do ping lists, please leave me off.
Did you use Lock tight on all the light bulbs?
automobiles, motorcycles, television, radio, all electronics would cease to work.... Unless it was EMP harden!!!
Ah, that's their tactic. They are not vulnerable.
The minute nobody can use their cell phone?
Life will get kinda rough if/when an EMP knocks out ALL electrical and electronic devices.
Bank ATMs, automobile batteries, home heating thermostats, home computers, telephone service, radio stations, television stations, and on and on.
It wouldn’t take an all out nuclear attack to bring the perpetual American partee to a screeching halt.
But, of course, Obama would blame Bush, or the Republicans, or the Tea Party, or bankers, or gun owners, or anyone and everyone but himself, even if he couldn’t broadcast his asinine speeches over the airwaves any longer.

No one knows what an EMP blast would really do. It might not be as effective as people think. It might be spotty at best. And even if it was bad, our nuke subs would launch and turn North Korea into a cinder. We could launch EMPs on other nations—like Iran, China, etc... The use of these—could go all out. Lets hope all this talk is just hot air—BUT I fear someday someone will be tempted to use one of these things.
It’s gotta be a bit bigger than Kim’s Fisher Price 10 Kt toys too...
You might consider that that center circle is inside the breadbasket of America. That is also what is so affectionately called “Fly Over Country”. Not to mention the center point is awfully close to my front yard!
I’m curious, HOW do you propose to power all that stuff WITHOUT electricity? Better own some sizeable generators and lots of fuel if/when the “Red Dawn” actually happens.
Dont you know that Colonel Ripper went as mad as a bloody March hare....”
I think maybe Daffynition knows that is my favoritist movie of all time..........
(My ancient tagline is the bestest movie line of all time)
Well then, Ansel12 will never get hungry again. Problem solved.
Hey Darlin’...Of course I knew that! Let’s hope China hasn’t given NK any cobalt thorium G.
Happy Sunday! ;)
Is that what the show was about? I watched without sound
Picture was all that was needed. :)
Solar panels are also massive EMP antennas. Because they are giant diodes with long wires to gather the current, they will be rendered worthless in less than a microsecond.
One thing that is pretty much a certainty, If a rogue nation detonated a nuclear device up above the U.S., there would not be a rogue nation to deal with moments afterward.
NK being provocative is much different than NK being utterly ignorant. They know full well what the aftermath would be for such monumental stupidity. They will likely shoot off a few missiles to intimidate and if war broke out, it would be conventional.
Just my take, I did sleep at a Holiday Inn express last night. lol
Hook, line and sinker.
‘Whatever the case, you should be vigilante.’
I’m not worried. The government will protect me...
