EMPs

Dr. Peter Vincent Pry is Executive Director of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security and Director of the U.S. Nuclear Strategy Forum, both Congressional Advisory Boards, and served on the Congressional EMP Commission, the Congressional Strategic Posture Commission, the House Armed Services Committee, and the CIA.  About a week ago I watched an interview with Dr. Pry about the danger of electromagnetic pulses.  He pointed out how it is not difficult to launch an attack that would destroy the electric grid in this country.  If you don’t know what that means, simply stated it means that there would be no electricity and most electronics would be “fried” and rendered worthless.  Without electricity, the country would not only fall into darkness, it would fall into mayhem. 

Electricity is necessary to supply water and food and other essentials to daily life.  In less than a week we would be out of food and transportation would stop because of a lack of fuel with no power to pump it.

This is serious business.  And, Dr. Pry suggests that government has taken steps to protect the military and certain individuals, but not the population.  By his estimate, it would take about $2 billion to add measures to ensure safety from an EMP.  But there still is no action taken.

It is estimated that 90% of our population would be dead in a few days, because of lack of food and water and ensuing chaos.  That’s hard to imagine, but such an event is possible and probable by more than one of our enemies.  North Korea has already successfully fired a missile that disrupted the GPS tracking systems of ships in an area off their coast.  We live in a dangerous world.

If all this doesn’t concern you, then this will.  Your iPhone won’t work and there will be no way to connect to Facebook.

That ought to get some attention.
