If you don’t have a generator, and a metal box to keep it in (a well-grounded aluminum shed would do) then go get one now.

At minimum build a metal box for it lined on all 6 sides with sheet metal

Google “Faraday Cage” for details

China used stolen U.S. technology to develop at least three types of high-tech weapons ...

Stolen, given as gifts or purchased from politicians with campaign donations or blackmail?

As with a few other foreign entities, the Chinese are wise investors of American human assets.

Do you ever wonder how many politicians and judges would it take to make America work the way you want it to?

Who has practical, real world experience and would know the answer?

Who would you ask to find out?

“To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.“

That’s nice to hear that Ruskies and Chinks coming to a neighborhood near us.

When I hear this, the Weather Underground always come to mind...hint hint: Ayers/Bammy.

That terrorist org planned to get one of their own into the White House, then with the help of those two countries, round up and reeducate Patriots.

When pressed by an undercover FBI agent:

Q: There surely will be those that won’t loose their patriotism. What is the plan with them?

A: Execution

Q: How many do you think will need extermination?

A: 25,000,000

Scary stuff.

The greatest threat to America on behalf of China is coming from DC and it’s drunken spending orgy.

It's amazing how ignorant the masses are, regarding the debt load and the democrats pushing to pile on more multi-trillion dollar giveaways. I fear that the collapse of our economic system is coming sooner than most people suspect. There is a convergence of factors happening in August 2020 that will speed up the collapse and the resultant depression. Not going to be pleasant going forward.

No real proof of this! No test sightings or them using it, and if they had it, they would have whacke Japan and especially Taiwan long ago with it!

Otherwise, what a great idea! After you pretty much declard war on the entire planet with your virus, lets go melt the grid of the country you need the most as a trading partner to keep their economy alive, and then expect us to buy their cheap electronic shit to do what with? Nothing is harder to control than 3 billion pissed off unemployed bat soup eating chinese.

And don’t try to claim the EMP would wipe out our capacity to strike back. All of our nuclear forces are hardened against EMP attacks.

I realize that. I worked on EMP hardening to aircraft as an engineer back in the 80s.

Would we know who to strike with our nuclear forces? I hope so.

They would have to bank on something crippling our leadership, both political and military.

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

It doesn't surprise me.

A few Democrats have openly admitted that they would not authorize a Declaration of War, even if we are attacked with nuclear weapons. Our Nuclear arsenal is useless today, and for as long as we have Democrat majority in the House.

Thanks. I have a generator in a wood shed. But I also have a metal shed, and will move it there this weekend (and will ground it). Also have a running 1966 vehicle, and extra distributors, coils, etc. in cans.

Art Bell (and then George Noory) have been talking about this issue for _decades_.

Politicians have been dangerously stupid that entire period.

Another reason I have (now) a couple of alternate cooking methods. (BBQ grills)

A far amount of old trees here, enough to have a bit of wood as backup to my charcoal.

China may be funding and supporting Antifa and BLM—perhaps in retaliation for what they believe is CIA meddling in Hong Kong.

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


None. It’s about the transformers and, likely, generating equipment.

Could be a potential staging area, except in the west they’ll be targeted.

We know who is on whose side. If a few Democrats think it better to kill a nation and start anew, they got a surprise or two coming. Rebuilding wouldn’t start for a hundred years.. imagine the bread lines.. and no bread.

Those same dems will likely be the first that meet a fate they seek for others who do not see things as they do.

Time to vote them off the island.
