North Korea openly threatens EMP attack for the first time, changing the game

BY ANTHONY FUREY, POSTMEDIA NETWORK

The news Sunday morning that North Korea had launched what appeared to be its sixth nuclear test and most powerful one to date is troubling enough.

But a statement from the rogue regime took things to a whole new level. The North said it had tested an H-bomb that was “a multi-functional thermonuclear nuke with great destructive power which can be detonated at high altitudes for super-powerful EMP (electromagnetic pulse) attack according to strategic goals.”

This is the first time it has publicly mentioned its interest and ability in an EMP attack, a devastating weapon that could have catastrophic consequences for North America, the West and their closer neighbours.

An EMP attack, as I detail in my new book Pulse Attack, is a nuclear detonation that occurs in the atmosphere and creates a waveform that can take down the electrical grid below.

In the worst case scenario, this wouldn’t just shut off the power for minutes or hours, but weeks or even months, due to serious damage to transformer stations and other integral elements of our power infrastructure.

This wouldn’t just mean we couldn’t turn on our laptops and televisions; it would shut down our telecommunications, transportation, water systems, our ability to get food to cities and much more.

Why hasn’t Dennis “the worm” Rodman been charged with treason yet?

If there's war he could be, otherwise the chances are slim.

Plus, it's possible that the CIA is using his trips in some way, maybe without his knowledge.

“You can’t control a maniac you have to kill him China may be logical. he is not.”

Maybe, but if you make it clear that any maniacal/crazy behavior by Kim will wind up with them being targeted along with him, they will defang him. Guaranteed.

Maybe the media game changes, reality remains the same. Worse case, we lose a city (unlikely), best case, the dipstick bites it.

If they are not “live” the EMP affect has no “electromagnetic” activity to disrupt in a damaging way. It’s the same as “do you need a surge protector if your circuit is off/dead”? No. Any “electromagnetic pulse” will not get passed/into the off/dead circuit.

I don't think so

even with everything switched off...miles of high tension wire will have huge induced voltages due to the induced action of the electromagnetic pulse....resulting in flash over at switches and resultant destruction of equipment.

We will hit with the same EMP they threaten us with. The difference is, ours will be so much more effective. The motors that run their military transportation will be toast. Their electronic eyes and communications will be cooked

No so fast...see the picture on post 180 above....all those lights in SK will also go out.

Suicide is what fat boi seems to want.

Just tell Hillary that Kim is about to publish some more evidence of her felonies. He will kill himself within days, most likely by shooting himself in the back of the head multiple times.

Because he had official permission to go over there and even was on diplomatic mission?

Bill and Barry deserve it first, and that ain’t happening.

I’m seeing a pattern here whereby NKOREA seems to be getting a lot of $$ & technology even though they are under embargo. At the last public parades they did my gut feeling was “where can they be getting all this fuel to run the equipment they are running on the parade grounds?”

They don’t behave like a country under embargo, they seem to be behaving as one who just got fresh infusions of $$, fuel and advanced technology.

There was talk about hardening the grid to be able to resist an EMP attack some years ago...unfortunately it didn’t go anything beyond talk, I don’t think.
