You don’t know the first thing about EMP. You’ve simply read it on the Internet and believe we all going to die.
Oh really! You actually know what I know about it? Could you share with us how exactly it is that you know what I know? Do you make all of your decisions on speculation and assumptions?
1. I don’t believe we are all going to die.
2. I have talked to the engineer at the college—heads the physical plant etc. . . . after reading a scientific paper on the topic . . . he says it’s a serious problem.
3. I have talked to a senior manager at a coal fired plant who insists it’s a serious problem that they have NOT taken any precautions for.
4. It seems to me that there will be plenty of suffering and mayhem . . . just from the EMP aspect alone . . .
. . . on top of . . . the engineered economic collapse . . . WW3 . . . engineered plagues . . . Mark of the Beast . . .
However, you’re the expert . . . I just read stuff at the Holiday Inn Express.
If we should experience an EMP it would put down our large transformers. It takes about 2 years to replace them and they are not made in the USA. So at least half the country is going to be without adequate power for 2-4 years.
After a week or two the generators for hospitals and other care facilities will run out of fuel. People who are dependent on any type of electrical machine to live will die. There will not be refrigeration so the insulin will go bad and the folks with serious diabetes will die. The pharmacies will quickly run out of medications so in a few weeks all folks who depend on meds to keep them alive will start to die off. Without electricity doctors will not be able to perform surgeries. If you have a serious injury or a heart attack, stroke etc. you will probably not make it. Antibiotics will become scarce very quickly and people who develop the normal everyday upper respiratory infection will not be able to get a prescription so if it goes into pnuemonia they will die.
Since there will be no electricity the gas pumps won’t, work the grocery stores will be cleaned out the tap water will go off in your house and the toilet won’t flush anymore. The garbage guys won’t show up on Monday to take the trash. After 2-3 weeks of trash and garbage pile up in the streets and no sanitation or clean water dysentary and typhoid will show up. The death toll in the cities will be insane just from that. In a month people will be starving to death as most folks especially in the city only keep a few days of food on hand and probably very little bottled water.
Since about 90% of the people now live in the city the die off rate will be horrendous. The few who live or have managed to acquire a retreat in the rural areas and have stocked up on food and the means to protect it will be the ones that survive the first die off. After that it will just be trying to make it through until the infrastructure can be repaired and social order restored.
