Brace yourself. You won’t hear about this from the mainstream media. And very few politicians dare to discuss these things openly.


But the reality is that we may be living in some of the most dangerous times in human history. Does that sound like some crazy exaggeration to you? Well, consider this:


Recently, in The Wall Street Journal, former CIA Director James Woolsey warned that “the most significant threat to the U.S. in the world” is the threat of catastrophe caused by an electromagnetic pulse, or EMP. And that danger appears to loom larger every year.


What is an electromagnetic pulse? It can be triggered by a massive solar storm, or set off by detonation of a nuclear device hundreds of miles above the earth. Even if no blast, shock or fallout reaches the ground, the cascading avalanche of infrastructure failures caused by an EMP can create a national catastrophe.


Because an EMP, like an astronomical bolt of lightning, destroys the electronic equipment upon which so much of modern life is built.


In the short term, EMP drowns out radio transmissions—everything from radio, TV and cell phones, to air-defense radar systems, to police, fire and EMS frequencies.


Most importantly, over a much longer timeframe, an EMP blacks out the power grid, slamming it with so much voltage—and slagging so many transformers when it does—that it could plunge much of the continental U.S. into darkness and chaos lasting for months, if not years.


Collapse of the power grid, in turn, would have a domino effect on the infrastructures Americans depend on most for survival. Landline telephone systems would fall silent. Cell phone towers would go black—even if you had a way to charge your phone. An EMP would flatline the Internet and paralyze all the vital signals the Internet carries: Military command and control, our banking and financial system, gas pipeline and power plant safeguards, hospital and emergency response communications.


And it would pull the plug on public water and sewage services—perhaps our most urgent and immediate life-support systems of all.


This isn’t some feverish, paranoid fantasy. It’s not some fabrication from “Doomsday Preppers.”

Read the rest at the link and then do your part - Get out there and buy lots more guns.

 

[NLT]

I have enough guns all ready thank you.

 

[jwoodie]

Poor Luddly, never had an original thought...

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Any "doomsdaay preppers" here?

What have you done to prepare?

And clutch their bibles

 

[jwoodie]

How's that hopey-changey thing working for ya?

 

[SteadyMercury]

The alarmist EMP fear mongering seems to come up every once in awhile, wasn't Newt Gingrich one of the regulars on this?

I'm cool but I was thinking about a full auto. The Ma Deuce I really want is incredibly expensive to feed. What do you suggest?

 

[DigitalDrifter]

I have plenty of guns, so no problem here.

EMPs are disruptive but not apocalypticly so. EMP'd ourselves during orbital nuclear testing with operation Starfish. Had blackouts across much of the Pacific and west coast but nothing we didn't recover almost instantly from. Technology's more suceptible now of course but it's not a doomsday concern. Of course unlike an airbust for ground destruction, all you need is one nuke to lay waste via the EMP effect. A few over major global economic centers and you could conceivably crash the planetary economy.

As said in the indy film, "Unthinkable" "If terrorists detonate a nuclear bomb on US soil, there'll be no fucking Constitution." Look how 9/11 led to the Patriot Act and suspension of due process. Now try to imagine what'd happen after a hostile nuclear detonation...Doesn't really matter where it happens, here or abroad or in the middle of no where. "Terrorists have nulcear weapons." That's the end of this age, and the start of the next.

I'm thinking an M-134.

The amount of terror that most conservatives constantly live under is shocking.
