And as I said yesterday this IS an old threat, it’s nothing new. It’s been around since nuclear weapons were first detonated.
The article is by a liberal idiot who attacks Bush for “doing nothing” in “all these years”.
Well, for your information eleven sitting Presidents have been in office since electromagnetic pulse was discovered in conjunction with nuclear devices.
So, let’s set the record straight and if you’re going to blame one President (not you, the author) then you blame them all for doing nothing.
However, let me point out something we called “TEMPEST” in the military, the hardening of communications facilities around the country (including folks, telephone systems).
So, something HAS been DONE, but there’s no way to completely mitigate the problem at this point.
I, myself, knew it was an old threat, but not nearly as long as you and others have pointed out (thank you). I just thought there would be *some* updated information contained here, especially for those of us not too familiar with the subject. We need to always keep in mind that there's a constant stream of people just now coming into politics, including the next generation of FReepers. So we shouldn't assume that just because we know something about one thing or another, that everyone else does too. A lot of people here seem to do that, a foolish mistake in my view, particularly on the demonRat-commie connection.
Anyway, thanks again for the information. I think many at least now know more than they did before. And that's never a bad thing. :)
