Military warns EMP attack could wipe out America, 'democracy, world order'
Washington Examiner ^ | 11/30/2018 | Paul Bedard

The report, titled, “Electromagnetic Defense Task Force,” and the product of a mostly classified summit of officials from 40 agencies just outside of Washington earlier this year, is a forceful call for a new focus on preparing for either an enemy EMP attack or a natural hit such as a solar storm.

While it is focused on the devastating impact an EMP hit would have on the military, it appears to support a congressional warning that up to 90 percent of the population on the East Coast would die in a year of an attack that would dismantle or interfere with electricity, transportation, food processing, and healthcare.

Consider just some of the warnings in the report from the United States Air Force Air University and the Curtis E. LeMay Center for Doctrine Development and Education.

Figuring out just which country launched an attack would be difficult since certain weapons could be delivered in a satellite.

It also noted the development of the 5G mobile network and how it will run communications and why it must be protected, especially since China is the biggest investor in its development.

“Because control of 5G is roughly equivalent to control of the Internet, open 5G is critical to freedom and free-market economics. Meanwhile, access to the 5G-millimeter wave bandwidth will be critical to operations in all war-fighting domains, in particular, space command & control,” said the white paper.

Lt. Gen. Steven Kwast, the commander of Air Education and Training Command, said, “As electromagnetic technologies fuse in new and often dangerous ways, it’s critical that the military and industry make honest evaluations of present and future conflict states to ensure we’re proactive rather than reactive.”

Not going very far... newer cars wont start and there is no power... no electricity for anything. Literally going back to 1800, but without the knowledge or skills to live in 1800. 80% kill off in one year nation wide. Without the necessary ability to curb mosquitoes... 90% kill off in the deep south when adding malaria and other skeeter borne disease to the mix. Marauders, pirates, cults, cannibals, rouge military units and every other type of bad actor you can think of roaming around. It’s all good though because I know, as does my family, who their Lord and Savior is. Our last exhale here will result in our first breath in the Glory of Heaven. Won’t suffer anymore than Jesus did I guess. Probably just last a little longer... Have a nice day!!!
