EMP could leave '9 out of 10 Americans dead'

Not many people would be passing thru my “little safety zone”. They would have no reason to trespass. It might be somewhere well off the beaten path. :0)

--------------- So what credibility do I have now?

None, considering that scenario could certainly be your own Missouri town..........devoid of even the simple tools that the Haitian relief doctors have........

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

So... I lose credibility when I say the story is true. Then when the story is true, I still don’t have any?

Sorry, you called me a moron then got disproven wrong.

Get back to me when you actually have any real arguments. Or maybe you work for World Net Daily, then I guess facts and logic don’t matter to you.

Shoots I don’t have an old car. Use to own a 73 MG midget brand new when I was 21, but don’t know if that was electronic. Also owned I believe a 50’sh Rambler my parents gave me when I was 16 to run around in. That was a great car and built like a tank too!

I suggest that you prepare for the eventuality. I am. What else are they going to do? History is filled with mass migrations overwhelming unprepared localities.

I never really gave EMP much of a thought until reading the Book One Second After by William Frostchen with a forward by Newt Gingrich. The book written as a fiction novel, is bone chilling.
The writer who has a Ph.D. from Purdue with specializations in military history and history of technology wrote a well thought out account of what could happen in a North Carolina small town. The order of events are so well thought out that the book has been used in house subcommittees and the Pentagon when discussing how to fund and or plan for such an attack.

The only problem with the book is in the ending, when it went a little down the Road Warrior path with the town being attacked by a mob traveling from town to town looting, killing, raping, and how the town prepared for them, but the book had to end some way. Cool action packed ending, but I'm not sure how up the believable scale it would be. But like I said the rest of the book should be read and taken seriously.

Coastal freepers such as in San Diego can always pull water out of the ocean and use a homemade solar still to make drinking water.

Freeperes in San Diego probably won't have to worry too much. Carriers and nuclear subs are all are EMP hardened. Crank up the reactors on a couple of Nimitz class carriers and and you can desalinate a lot of water. And you can bring in food from the other side of the Pacific.

Frank Gaffney is a nutjob. Even if 100% of the electronic equipment in the country were fried by EMP, within hours, we would be getting replacement parts from our trading partners. EMP = mass death is the right’s version of the left’s nuclear war = nuclear winter - a threat invented out of whole cloth.

Well it looks like an inevitability. Who wants a foreign government running the U.S.?

Washington D.C. is the most corrupt place on earth. Senators don't write and can't understand the laws they pass and inflict on us. They chew the words put into their mouths by foreigners like they were candy.

Congressmen are supported by contributors without names whose agenda is not to see the Northern Hemisphere as an independent prosperous Christian place.

You can't trust a centralized bureaucracy thousands of miles away to get anything done without harming everyone.

It's inevitable that our overlords unleash predator drones on us just as Obama joked the other day to the Jonas Brothers. For him to joke about predator drones in the same sentence as mentioning his under age pre-teen daughters is sick. Obama was not raised in an american environment and he doesn't understand the cultural clues and nuances that accumulate and build our culture.

You can't walk into the middle of a one act play and know what's what.

Coast to Coast AM is talking about this, but caused instead by a more likely source: the Sun. http://streamingradioguide.com/radio-show.php?show=667 It happened in 1859 and will again, with the possibility now of enemies using the chaos to attack. http://www.onesecondafter.com/

WalMart sells OTC insulin for 10 mL / $22. I’ve been stockpiling.

My biggest worry would be folks trying to raid our crops, but they do so at their own risk.

In my experience, the majority of people can't recognize food plants unless they're growing in straight rows. Even plants that are in their own gardens.

[Ellendra]

While young children and the elderly would likely be first to perish, esp. in the southern US summers,

And in the northern US winters. Most places are not set up for electrically-independent heat. Even a lot of wood and gas stoves are electric now.

[Ellendra]

How will you produce the pumps without electricity? And even if you could, how would you be able to distribute them?

There are still some of us able to build such things the old fashioned way. Hand pumps are old school.

An average person can walk about 20 miles a day without wearing themselves out.

The average person perhaps, but the average urbanite? I know too many people who can't walk 3 blocks without stopping to rest.

[Ellendra]

Put up a sign stating you've poisoned specific produce so they raid at their own risk. Problem solved.

If Zimbabwe is any guide, the raiders will torture your family until you tell them which crops are safe.

So skip the sign.

There are many poisonous plants that look similar to common garden plants, and as I've mentioned before, most people only recognize garden plants when they're growing in rows . . .

I'm going to stop there.

There are 2 ways to regulate blood sugar. Through insulin, or through diet. And by diet I don’t mean “eat your broccoli”, I mean by carefully regulating the sugars and carbs your son ate, and timing it so that the amount of sugar going into his bloodstream stayed as level as possible.

Theoretically it’s possible to get insulin from eating certain organs from animals, but there would be no way to be sure of the dosage, so I wouldn’t recommend it.
