Analyst's note: We will soon have, as a minimum, China & Iran operating submarines off our coast lines. Drug cartels are already operating subs off our shores.
A nation-wide Electromagnetic Magnetic Pulse (EMP) attack and attacks against our remaining off-shore oil rigs -- or both simultaneously -- are some of the potential attacks from which our nation must be protected. This reality, added to our current Administration & Congress, and the potential outcome of their super-committee, is NOT great timing for our national security to be at such risk. The potential impact is chilling. We are seeing the growing impact and negative potential of a national defense dependent on "hope" and "change."
I've not even mentioned the potential impact associated with pipelines on our ocean floor nor our ".... undersea communications cables vulnerable to virtually unstoppable sabotage." The potential devastation also extends to modern mines and unmanned underwater vehicles. Please read the entire original article.
Despite what you may think, our federal government is NOT providing for our common defense as required by our U.S. Constitution. They are
preparing to do
even less. You owe it to yourself and your children to watch these films.
Let me get straight to the point. I am very concerned about the reality of those who planning an electromagnetic pulse attack against this United States. At this point, we are totally defenseless against such an attack.
While our politicians are "politicking" and spending our tax money and that money coming from our children yet unborn, the ability to essentially "unplug" this nation for an extended period of time and create a new dark age is known to exist. The only thing that seems to explain their inaction beside their greed and desire for power is either they are scared into inaction or they believe they should simply "... be merry, for tomorrow they die." In either case, the American people stand to lose it all. The Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP), of which I'm speaking about here, could come from a naturally occurring solar flare from our sun according to NASA (we've already been known to have one such natural event in the 1800's) -- or according to other multiple sources -- from a single a high-altitude nuclear weapon exploded over the United States.
Such a weapon could be launched from ship(s) off our shores from a second-rate missile system. A Russian company is marketing a devastating new cruise missile system which can be hidden inside a shipping container
This is not a newly recognized threat. We now have Iran building nukes (some experts actually believe they already have 30 to 40 simple nukes -- see BOMBSHELL ALLEGATIONS...), and N. Korea already has them.
It is estimated that 9 out 10 American would die within a few short months of an EMP attack. The impact would be almost unbelievable.
We learn the following from U.S. Rep. Roscoe Bartlett, (R- MD) "While one part of the federal government was warning us of possible solar electromagnetic pulse (EMP) damage to our electric grid, a key Senate commission approved a bill to ignore this threat," Bartlett has estimated that $100M could do much to save America from such damage. If we wait till after the fact the cost could be $1 trillion to 2 trillion,
"WASHINGTON – In the Republican presidential debate Tuesday on CNN, presidential candidate and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich announced a threat to U.S. national security that no other candidate has discussed and that commentators described as "out of the box" until they researched it for themselves.
The potential threat Gingrich referred to was an electromagnetic pulse, or EMP, attack that "would literally destroy the country's capacity to function." Gingrich pointed out that no one is talking about the potential for such an attack to cripple America's critical infrastructure.
Business Insider said that "at first, we thought Gingrich had been playing too many video games, but after looking into it, it turns out EMP attacks are actually real and pretty damn scary."
The CNN debate was sponsored by two conservative Washington-based think tanks, the American Enterprise Institute and the Heritage Foundation.
An EMP is generated from a nuclear bomb explosion in the atmosphere. It is a pulse of energy that is produced from the explosion.
It also can be generated from such a natural phenomenon as a severe geomagnetic storm that can affect all civilian electronics and electrical systems.
Gingrich's brief reference to the potential dangers from an EMP attack during the debate with eight other presidential candidates isn't the first time he has mentioned the threat. [....]
