EMP Nightmare: How Iran or North Korea Could Destroy America with a Single Bomb
PJTV ^ | 2011 | PJTV

Posted on 09/22/2015 3:07:29 PM PDT by Ghost of SVR4

From 2011. A video about EMP weapons and Iran's intent. I thought it was interesting that the alarm has been sounding with those paying attention and look where we are today...

I know there is some back and forth on FR about an EMP's effectiveness, even the attempt however would change the world forever. Knowing that our leaders are selling us down the river, one has to ask just what do they really have in mind?

The headline is sensationalist nonsense.

It does have a December 31, 1999 feel to it.

The one thing an EMP attack won’t take out is our retaliatory capacity.

This assumes that eventually we will once again have a president who isn’t in bed with the Muslim terrorist theocrats in Iran and elsewhere.

If they do it, they had better do it while Princess Obongo is still in office.

Supposedly our nuclear command structure is hardedned against EMP and our nuclear subs are safe. Back in the day the Russians knew if they attacked the U.S. there would be a massive nuclear retaliation. Perhaps the N. Koreans and the Iranians need to understand that an EMP attack against the U.S. would bring a massive nuclear strike on their countries that would leave them nothing but radioactive rubble. Unfortunately Obama has shown nothing but weakness and capitulation and this could be interpreted by these rogue states that they could get away with crippling the U.S. with an EMP bomb. I’m not so sure that Obama would do anything to retaliate to any country attacking the homeland. Perhaps our next president could make it clear that an EMP strike on the U.S. would bring nuclear retaliation on any nations involved

In such an event, Obama would no longer effectively be in charge...

As long as we have ships and boats at sea, we can retaliate overwhelmingly.

No way they can they can get us all with a single nuke.

The accidental EMP in the Pacific covered thousands of square miles.

Read the novel “One Second After”. Horrifying.

Has the premise been debunked or something?

Operation Starfish (Part of Op Fishbowl). It was stronger than they anticipated even given the heavier duty electronics of that day.

Except that is not true.

It’s a novel, not a scientific paper. While EMP is a corollary effect of nudets, it won’t wipe out the entire country’s electricity.

This is fear mongering nonsense. But if you want, the guy in the video can sell you supplies...

get yourself a generator, and keep it in a metal shed

Read up on ‘faraday cage’

Put a metal floor on the shed too- you can cover it with plywood but make sure the metal from the roof, sides, and floor all have direct contact with each other

and ground it with a nice metal stake
