Hey, unless an EMP attack also wipes out all our brains so we are as dumb as politicians or liberals, we will retain the knowledge to rebuild anything which was destroyed.

Only the glass is half empty communists in this country want a dead America. They would love it if we could not recover because they detest our success as it always makes their beloved Marxism look so bad.

No doubt. All we have to do is crank up our production facilities, which of course run on electricity. Oh wait...

The these of this article is similar to a coming TV series: Revolution (IIRC).

In one forum about it, I posted a comment similar to yours.

That TV series is supposed to take place several years after such an attack. Their world is still in darkness.

[Ever notice that most of the apocalyptic series and movies have the resulting world as an uncivilized 3rd world -- as if civilization is tenuous and would not surivive.]

The problem is, knowledge is NOT sufficient here. We lack the tech base to repair after an EMP Burst that basically fries every microchip in North America.

Yes. . .we could go back to straight transistors. Except nobody makes them like we did in the 1950s, with straight electromechanical manufacturing methods.

We simply lack the tools to MAKE the current tools from a lower tech base: it would effectively knock us back to 1920s tech, and we’d have to gear back up from there. . .

“Hey, unless an EMP attack also wipes out all our brains so we are as dumb as politicians or liberals, we will retain the knowledge to rebuild anything which was destroyed.”

Until half of those with the knowledge die from lack of medicine or bad food. Then the remaining can’t make whats necessary because all the parts are in china.

Yeah but the EMP also won’t wipe out Environmentalists and their deep pockets to hire lawyers to go to court to stop any rebuilding or redevelopment in its tracks. Our only chance is to have an EMP that takes them out too.

We have already suffered an EMP attack. The brains of our politicians have been on flat line for years. And the American public is stuck on stupid with no lights on.

Thank you. America would be vulnerable at such a time, but America on the whole will want to rebuild, will want restoration and will want revenge.
