***UPDATE***MEETING W/ RETIRED USAF, NSA, NASA CYBER SECURITY EXPERT

Can you ask him what he thinks of Peter E. Kim?

to be honest thats uninteresting,

about as fun as an interview with a retired Gardner.

Thread: Are you prepared for a EMP? How would you survive?

you should have heard my radio interview with "Pattie" Bressard...

Is sitting in a car the same as a Faraday Cage?

Do keep a spare whole house kit oe even afurnace just laying around?
neither do they.
They admit they dont stock major replacement components and.estimate there are no likely replacements forthcoming.
This is what happens when you rely on your enemy to stay alive
Return to commercisl power as you know it is unlikely, ever.
If your piwer goes out it is probable that it is only the very first step in a program of invasion and destruction and will be exploited by anyone who wants to benefit from taking what they want.

Eventually you realize that continuing your brand of civilization requires stability, cooperation and security at every step of the process.

shielding answers in the applied sciences and realistic tech about reducing damage from longline surge transmission

I will be sure to ask this.

I will be asking this question

I will be asking this question. thanks

I will be using this question. thanks

Excellent question i will ask for sure.

never thought of that but it just might work. I will ask.

yes I will clarify how he is so certain it will happen.

the Gentelmans last name is Bounds I will be speaking with. If you look at the link it gives his name. For some reason this guy worked for NASA but, I guess was never seen or could be found in the system.

A variation of this question has been posted in relation to long line transmissions damage. Also how it will effect non long line electronics such as personal items, vehicle etc.

I will most certainly ask this question.

I will for sure be asking about Faraday cages.

Meanwhile I have posted some links above to informative pages that appear legit.
This MIGHT give the uninitiated a sense of the scope of the problem and the complexity of the task of hardening give the range and variables if threat.
IF you can build a thick copper capsule without any external wiring or plumbing or conductive ducting deep enough you should be good under most conditions.
Basically put another way most of you have no hope of any effective deterrence its an all float or all sink together and whatever survival lifeboats launched, so to speak, dont have a seat for you.
Fema has predicted about 90% loss and none of the money you send in seems to be applied to insuring your safety although its being spent on someone.
This is a prime example of an ounce of prevention being worth 6.02 x 10 to the 23rd power metric tonnes of cure, yet not even one ounce of prevention is in your future on your behalf.

I will be sure to ask this.

You are exactly right in what you said. Mr. Bounds is/was a Cyber Security expert. Based on what I've been told so far. That is what Bounds is expecting to take out the grid is a Cyber Attack.

An readonabke explanation of waveguide attenuation dynamics at sheild penetration sites would be nice along with details of convertable off the shelf materials and optimal cross and longitudinal sectional profiles or is a simple 4 length for 1 diameter ratio and cylinder effective at all sheilding thicknesses.
Also what about tuning cutoff frequencies.
Also, what about Q factor and how to deal with that issue?

Just to clarify what should be obvious that the predicted 90% loss in one year is essentially due to preventable neglect, inattention, ignorance, age and informity and predation, even under the best option FROM YOUR FELLOW AMERICANS either as desperate mob or as a reconstituted alternative restructured quazigovermental organization from a number of domestic or even foreign sources. These will not be there to help, but to take whats available for themselves.

It is of course unnecessary but it is what its become because it was purposely designed to be that way.
You need to wonder who intends to survive this after leaving the rest of you to deal with the consequences.

Can you offer some more insight to this Peter if I am going to ask about him.

Theres more than just hemps, there are other, easier cheap threats such as microwave bombs or flux compression that may be deployed by agents out of a breifcase and the grid, interlinked as it will sequentially collapse with several attacks at strategic nodes.

now that these devices have become widely available, they xan be deployed in a fashion to hide the source or more likely to misdirect to an innocent source.
Retaliation will end up being impossible to initiate with any certainty and likely to accelerate the process further.
For cultures large and small that prey on others with jo shame or limits EMP is their perfect weapon due to its ease and simplicity to initiate and hide the source.

linky or stinky

Did He/She give you a steaming enema?

There were many trial attacks against both power and communication grids in South Bay area a few years ago by covert ops teams. Cutting fiber lines and sniper fire taking out transformers (transformers lost PCB coolant due to gunfire) at key substations. They know what and where to hit. Link for your enjoyment:
