Quoting: The Deplorable MnB15 President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday to protect the US from electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) that could have a " debilitating" effect on critical US infrastructure. Trump instructed federal agencies to identify EMP threats to vital US systems and determine ways to guard against them, Bloomberg first reported. A potentially harmful EMP event can be caused by a natural occurrence or the detonation of a nuclear weapon in the atmosphere. Lesss than 50%..

Our southern border....is still an issue. Until that is LOCKED DOWN, and mass deportation begins, things will just grow worse. I don't think there is any coming back from where we are though. |

OP this is an OLD posting.... but there has been a tad too much hype and the avoidance of cyber war fare as chief potential cause... and also acts of war in cutting electric cables.. the big outage some many years ago now in Canada was cut electric cables at a source site. Just a war technique... China does not have the ability to use space techiques etc to do this.. that is hype. |

So it will turn into another government bureaucratic circle-jerk of study after study. If Trump wanted this to mean something, he should have instituted a deadline date. |

[link to www.businessinsider.com (secure)] Yeah, he’ll ‘protect us’ from some imaginary shit that’s never going to happen (and if it actually did it’d be a Godsend) but he WON’T protect us from the hoardes of invading armies attacking us RIGHT NOW from every 3rd world on earth? Makes sense. Maybe he should go back to raising ethanol and banning gun parts. |

The Norks have the ability to emp us China has had this capability since the early eighties Homework. Always do your homework Emp is and has been a very real threat for more than half a century—from man The Sun however is a different story Cyclically, and constantly we get hit with high energy blasts.

User ID: 8080014 United States 06/12/2019 12:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Plus the fact that since the 2008 Report of the Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic [EMP] Attack systems have been hardened as a part of routine maintenance. We are in a MUCH better place than we were ten years ago. Check out the report above... it's a comprehensive no-nonsense Consumer Reports-type series of tests on everything from locomotives and traffic signals to various makes of cars. The results will surprise you! But: we are STILL vulnerable, especially where sat-coms are concerned. Down here on terra-firma the power grid is the most sensitive and that loss will bring everything to a screeching halt. And, guess where vital parts [containing rare-Earth minerals] needed to repair power generators are produced? China! Last Edited by GSB/LTD on 06/12/2019 12:17 PM |

EMP's are just theoretical and the only countries capable of such technology would be the usual players. EMPs also have a tiny range and would only affect consumer products as milspec electronics are hardened against the effect. |
