China Has ‘First-Strike’ Capability To Melt U.S. Power Grid With Electromagnetic Pulse Weapon
Forbes ^ | 6/25/20 | James Conca

Posted on 07/25/2020 9:11:06 AM PDT by spacejunkie2001

Last week, the EMP Task Force on National and Homeland Security issued a scary report on China’s ability to conduct an Electromagnetic Pulse attack on the United States. The key takeaway, according to Dr. Peter Pry,
 executive director of the task force, is that China now has super-EMP weapons, knows how to protect itself against an EMP attack, and has developed protocols to conduct a first-strike attack, even as they deny they would ever do so.

According to the Center for Strategic International Studies, China has the most active ballistic missile development program in the world, so this is doubly troubling. China used stolen U.S. technology to develop at least three types of high-tech weapons to attack the electric grid and key technologies that could cause a surprise “Pearl Harbor” attack that could produce a deadly blackout to the entire country.

Dr. Pry outlines how China has built a network of satellites, high-speed missiles, and super-electromagnetic pulse weapons that could melt down our electric grid, fry critical communications, and even takeout the ability of our aircraft carrier groups to respond.

Our leaders have known about this for years and have done exactly nothing about it.

We could have hardened our systems, but haven’t done so.

A couple of pastors and other Christians have been posting dreams and visions on YouTube lately. Some of them say the same things: tremendous turmoil this fall, followed by Russian and Chinese troops on our soil. Not saying there’s anything to it, but if I were China, I would EMP the United States.

This does not surprise me at all. We have known for a long while that our power grid is vulnerable, and have done little to nothing about it.

We don’t have leaders. We have greedy, self-serving politicians.

Trudeau has given China permission to use their military to protect their Canadian assets. It’s insane.

knows how to protect itself against an EMP attack

I doubt they know how to protect themselves from SLBMs, because that would be the appropriate response.

Yeah, and they day you do that your whole country gets melted 30 minutes later...and it’s unstoppable. Sub launched ICBMs are immune to EMP.

China is well and truly effed and they know it.
They possess a grand total of 2% of the world’s nukes...
They have about 4% of our arsenal. And if they use them on us, what’s left of them is surrounded by 6500 Russian nukes, 160 Pakistani nukes, and 140 Indian nukes. And Japan could nuke up in a matter of weeks with Lexus quality weapons and everybody knows it.

They can bluster, but the day they try an EMP over the USA, is the day the cease to exist.

I’m not sure how much of a difference underground power lines would make.

This sounds like total BS. The Chinese and Russians always brag up their weapons but in the end they hardly ever work as well as advertised. This sounds like another setup against Trump, something like, See Trump cant protect the US from the Chinese only a fellow communist like Joe Biden in the White House can protect us. Don’t fall for this obvious fake news psyop bullshit.

Read the book 30 minutes after (what happens to someone who uses nuke against us)... that why one second after isn’t in the cards.
