Guess Mrs. Lurkin better sign up for that candle making class after all.
I read the book, *One Second After* and found it to be very intriguing reading. It starts out somewhat slow, but really picks up.
Thanks, feds.....
Is there some way I can get a refund on my taxes for all that they’re NOT doing to protect us?
God help us.

I never gave EMP much thought until reading the book, One Second After.

In a Norman Rockwell town in North Carolina, where residents rarely lock homes, retired army colonel John Matherson teaches college, raises two daughters, and grieves the loss of his wife to cancer. When phones die and cars inexplicably stall, Grandma’s pre-computerized Edsel takes readers to a stunning scene on the car-littered interstate, on which 500 stranded strangers, some with guns, awaken John’s New Jersey street-smart instincts to get the family home and load the shotgun. Next morning, some townspeople realize that an electromagnetic pulse weapon has destroyed America’s power grid, and they proceed to set survival priorities. John’s list includes insulin for his type-one diabetic 12-year-old, candy bars, and sacks of ice. Deaths start with heart attacks and eventually escalate alarmingly. Food becomes scarce, and societal breakdown proceeds with inevitable violence; towns burn, and ex-servicemen recall “Korea in ’51” as military action by unlikely people becomes the norm in Forstchen’s sad, riveting cautionary tale, the premise of which Newt Gingrich’s foreword says is completely possible. —Whitney Scott
I read “One Second After” as well. Good, if bleak, read. What the Senate did is deplorable, but again, it’s not surprising.
They know the threat of EMP. They also know that pretty much anything and everything that they would need is “protected.” If it all “went down” tomorrow, their families and entourages would he hearded to those secret locations, luxurious bunkers, closely guarded compounds, and they would have all the luxuries and amenities, and they would retain all the “power,” or at least the privileges which they have heretofore been afforded.
WE, on the other hand, the “little people” out in “flyover country,” would have nothing. we have little now, and if we lost it in an EMP attack, well, we would just have that much LESS with which to defy THEM — for they have authority over us, which is THEIR rightful place in the scheme of things. An EMP attack might just speed up the process by which WE would come to realize the need to give assent to this proper scheme of things. We, the people must finally come to realize our total and utter dependence upon they, the government, to live, to sustain ourselves, to enjoy our liberties — or at least the ones we can mutually agree it’s alright for us to have.
It’s no longer about protecting the people or preserving the Constitution with these people — it’s about promoting their own power. What happens to the people is secondary. If the people benefit in the meantime — Great! That’s good politics! If they suffer — that’s the price they pay for “us doing what has to be done.”
The “Political class” is quickly approaching the point of no return — and stupidity like this vote to leave We The People vulnerable to enemy attack is a textbook example of their arrogance and blindness....
Preparedness/Survival ping!
But hey, we've got millions laying around to feed crack to monkeys. I swear my friend, one of these days.....

Is there a way to find out how the vote actually went down?
OK, so we all agree it’s dumb to not have protection against EMP, natural or hostile.
So what should Congress do? What does Congress have the authority to do?
What physical things can be done to protect the USA from a big radio pulse?
We can only fork over trillions of dollars to Al Gore's globalist combustion man-made environmental disaster doomday cult.

whether it would be from a natural solar flare or the detonation of a space-located nuclear weaponnot to worry, we'll still be able to rely on health care rationing and death panels. Thanks The Comedian.
