EMP Could Kill 9 of 10 Americans

EMP Attack On Power Grid Could Kill 9-In-10

Vulnerability: Expert testimony before Congress on Thursday warned that an electromagnetic pulse attack on our power grid and electronic infrastructure could leave most Americans dead and the U.S. in another century.

That dire warning came from Peter Vincent Pry, a member of the Congressional EMP Commission and executive director of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security.

He testified in front of the House Homeland Security Committee's Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Infrastructure Protection and Security Technologies that an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) event could wipe out 90% of America's population.

Most people's eyes might glaze over upon mention of the committee name, the title of the hearing — "Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP): Threat to Critical Infrastructure" — and the general subject of EMP. But it is a real threat and not the stuff of science fiction.

Some attention has been paid to the potential cataclysmic effects of a natural phenomenon such as a massive solar storm, an event that has occurred in America's horse-and-buggy era when it did not matter.

Today an electromagnetic pulse event would be devastating. It wouldn't need a solar storm, just a solitary nuke detonated in the atmosphere above the American heartland. We would envy the horse-and-buggy era.

"Natural EMP from a geomagnetic superstorm, like the 1859 Carrington Event or 1921 Railroad Storm, and nuclear EMP attack from terrorists or rogue states, as practiced by North Korea during the nuclear crisis of 2013, are both existential threats that could kill 9-of-10 Americans through starvation, disease and societal collapse," the Washington Free Beacon quoted Pry as saying.

As we reported early last year, Pry, a former CIA nuclear weapons analyst, believes that North Korea's recent seemingly low-yield nuclear tests and launch of a low-orbit satellite may in fact be preparations for a future electromagnetic pulse attack.

A copy of a report prepared by the Department of Homeland Security for the Defense Department, obtained by Pry from sources within DHS, finds North Korea could use its Unha-3 space launch vehicle to deliver a nuclear warhead as a satellite over the South Pole to attack America from the south.

As the Heritage Foundation has reported, an EMP attack with a warhead detonated 25 to 300 miles above the U.S. mainland "would fundamentally change the world:"

"Airplanes would fall from the sky; most cars would be inoperable; electrical devices would fail. Water, sewer and electrical networks would fail simultaneously. Systems of banking, energy, transportation, food production and delivery, water, emergency services and even cyberspace would collapse."

Airplanes would fall from the sky?  Cars wouldn't start?  Water, sewer, banking, energy, transportation, food production?  Every thing just stops??  Even cyberspace would collapse??

Wow!  That sounds like the Great Tribulation!

"But Dennis!  Come on now...that could never happen here!....This is America!"

Yep.

The article says if this were to happen that we would 'envy the horse and buggy days.'

Hey...just a thought here...what if God allowed an EMP to happen in America so that all of our stuff, money and material possessions were taken away in the blink of an eye...and we were to quickly realize how worthless the god of Mammon (materialism) actually is?

"The people of Judah were taken captive to Babylon because of their unfaithfulness."  1 Chronicles 9:1

Could one day we find that God allowed America to be destroyed because of OUR unfaithfulness??  After all...God is never changing...

"But Dennis!  Come on now....God isn't mean like that! My god would never allow such a thing!  He would never put us through hardship, suffering and despair...because he loves us all...just as we are!!"

Or so says the believers of the false gospel that is so popular in our churches today.
