Entitled title User ID: 58336870 Netherlands 07/29/2014 05:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Singer has issued an unusual warning for investors, calling the threat of a widespread blackout from an electromagnetic surge the "most significant danger" in the world. Quoting: Hugh M Eye "While these pages are typically chock full of scary or depressing scenarios, there is one risk that is head-and-shoulders above all the rest in terms of the scope of potential damage adjusted for the likelihood of occurrence," Singer wrote to clients of his $24.8 billion Elliott Management on Monday in a standard investment update letter. [link to www.cnbc.com] He is a hedge fund manager. obviously his biggest fear would be a black out (he doesnt even say emp... he is also talking about natural surges..) since their money is only numbers on a computer. once there is a black out you can have all the billions you want in your account. it aint coming out to help you pay for things. |

What are the chances that it is carrying a nuke? Their fearless leader feels confident enough about his nuclear strike capability to issue threats, one of them this week. Studies have been done to estimate the effects of such a scenario and the results are grim. It is estimated that 90% of the US. Population would be dead within a year or less. That is a pretty scary weapon. What is even more troubling is that the blast would simply create the conditions for Americans to annihilate themselves. Take a look in the news. Are you confident that when faced with such extreme hardship, that the population will band together and perform all of the manual labor necessary to rebuild? |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 51555220 Germany 07/29/2014 05:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thank about it, they don't really have many options now. Russia isn't biting, so WW3 isn't going anywhere The whole world knows ISIS was created by US, UK and Israel, so that false flag won't look as false as they expected. Solar max is at its weakest, sun doom won't ever come Nuke NYC is still a possibility, but it will cause massive American casualty created by Americans. And too much people need to get involved to achieve it. Way too much risk So there you have it. EMP by some unknown group (US government) is the best solution to bring it down. Cost is low, minimal personnel involved, very easy to tie loose ends. Effect will be widespread, perfect excuse for financial collapse, martial law, gun confiscation... |

"The carrion king is known as Singer The Vulture. I didn't give him the moniker. The name Vulture was tagged on him and his speculator colleagues by the Prime Minister of Britain and the World Bank. Recently, former Deputy Secretary-General of the UN Winston Tubman suggested I ask Singer or his business associates, "Do you know you're causing babies to die?" What does this guy do—put poison in kiddies' milk? Worse: he takes away the milk." [link to www.gregpalast.com] |

At least not until the spent fuel cooling pools burn off the water in a week due to the back up generators being off from lack of fuel, then melting down all over the world. Imagine every nuke plant going Fukushima! |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 57577161 Sure, sure. [link to www.youtube.com] Whoa, that vid's a real eye-opener. Now I'm worried that a false-flag EMP attack is closer than we imagined. I wonder how that plane shields itself from blowback. I suppose the directed-energy beam is very tightly focussed. If so, I don't believe the effects would be as widespread and calamitous as the nuclear variety. It could very easily take out all of the IRS's files and emails though, LOL. |
