Earlier this year there were attacks on the Arkansas electric grid, but they arrested a guy for it last month who looked like an ordinary white guy.

EBT slaves run out of food in 48 hrs and start open pillaging of nicer areas after 5 days. Cops will be guarding their own homes.

I’ll be arming and coordinating.

I watched it on a 13 inch TV and commercial free, it looked very effective to me, as far as being geared to the general public.

The British version which ran several weeks earlier, was useless, there was very little related to preparedness in it, the makers of that one seemed to drift into just making another drama and forgetting what the purpose was.

While the American version was not intended to show how-tos, it did show a variety of situations that revealed to non-preppers, the consequences of not planning in advance.

WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE... none of us will get out of this alive... not in this life but we will have a chance at eternal life.

The rats always want to manufacture a crisis... what they find to be bad for you... is actually found to have value... things that can kill you can actually save your life. The left must have evil manipulation and lies to coerce and govern because with out those... they have nothing.

Prepper ping, I know we had another thread on this show, but worthwhile for more discussion.

I watched it today, 4-6 pm. It was intriguing, and so realistic that I could not wait for it to be over.

Hope to God this does not happen in real life, but the next solar flare could change that real quick.

Following links, I found an interesting discussion on YouTube headed by Fmr. CIA Dir. Jim Woolsey:

Fmr. CIA Dir. Jim Woolsey warns of existential EMP threat to America

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBfALe8X9C8

It's long, but worth watching during supper (or whatever) instead of, say "The Voice", even though I occasionally like watching that, too. :-)

Of note is that at one point Sarah Palin gets some credit for working toward protection of the grid in Alaska while she was Gov. Granted, I don't know if there's been any follow-through, but it stands to reason that energy rich states would have more financial capability to take action. The panel seems to feel that the states are where progress can best be made.

I work in telecom and IT.

Have been warning about this for years. Utilities allow access to their SCADA systems [both monitoring and control] over the public Internet [with minimal security] in order to save a few bucks month to month.

What they should do is allow monitoring thru the Internet, but when alarms occur, they would need to dial direct via the PSTN into the site to access a dial-back modem [with password authentication] - before control access is granted.

This removes [to the largest extent] the possibility of unauthorized control of their systems - since control access is thru the PSTN.

Cost is about $1000/site one-time [for equipment] and about $20/month recurring [for PSTN line] ...

North Korea’s gearing up... so is Iran. Nice to live in a country where no one’s afraid of us...
