90% of U.S. Population Would Be Dead in 6 Months

What does a "black swan event" actually mean?

It's an event the seemingly comes out of the clear blue sky and totally upends the current situation....and only after it has happened do all the pundits and talking heads stand around and say, "Oh yes, clearly this WAS a problem!"

But the funny thing about "black swans" is that VERY few people see them coming BEFORE they happen!

Think about the real estate and stock market crash of 2007-2008.  Did you hear ANYONE warning that 50% corrections were coming in real estate values and stock prices?  Was Matt Lauer or Megyn Kelly telling us that a massive correction was soon going to knock the global markets back by trillions of dollars?

Nope....except for a few who, at the time, were called "Gloomers and Doomers".

We have posted on this before but what would happen to America if a massive solar storm came raining down on us and knocked out our Achilles heel....electricity?

According to some think tanks, 90% of Americans would die of starvation, dehydration and civil unrest.

Now THAT would be quite a black swan event!!

America unprepared for devastating 'Black Swan'

WASHINGTON – Supply-chain disruptions often are the result of adverse weather, unplanned telecom outages, data breaches or even cyber hacking.

However, the one "Black Swan" event that would make these instances pale by comparison and result in a cascading disruption is a natural or man-made electromagnetic pulse event.

A "Black Swan" is an event regarded at the time of its occurrence as unprecedented and unexpected but later, in hindsight, understood to have been inevitable.

An EMP is in that category, since scientific experts repeatedly warn that a major EMP event is not a question of if, but when.

Barrett Moore, a security specialist and founder of the security company Triple Canopy, told WND that federal officials have modeled the effects of a "Black Swan" event on the timely delivery of food, water, fuel, medical care and technology. But they have done it primarily for the government's benefit.

"Seeing potential for large-scale chaos," Barrett said, "they have mitigated this risk for themselves by investing hundreds of billions of dollars in a continuity-of-government plan that has overseen the construction, equipping and provisioning of over 100 classified ‘haven' facilities accessible only to families and staff of government officials," he said.

"No parallel provisions have been made in our country for the general population," he said.

Years ago, Barrett noted, there were civil-defense centers in which the local population could assemble in the event of an emergency, stocked with food, water and essential medicines. But they disappeared in the 1960s.

Consideration, he said, should be given to bringing them back as one type of "safe haven" for the general population.

A recent survey shows that an EMP event is not on the radar of professionals whose industry is part of the supply chain.

A 2014 Supply Chain Resilience Survey, conducted by the Business Continuity Institute on behalf of the Zurich Insurance Group, asked the professionals to look five years ahead regarding potential, evolving world threats

They ranked the biggest threat as cyber attacks, followed in order by IT/telecom outages, outsourcer service failure, data breaches and adverse weather conditions.

Yet, supply-chain disruption caused by an EMP – a super-burst of energetic radio waves that could knock out the already vulnerable national grid – can either destroy or damage unprotected electronic systems by instantly overloading their circuits.

The immediate result would be catastrophic damage to all the critical infrastructures that rely on the grid, including automated control systems for electric power, telecommunications, transportation, banking and finance, food and water distribution and emergency services.

A natural EMP event would be a direct hit on Earth from a massive solar storm, while a man-made EMP would be a high-altitude nuclear bomb burst instigated by any adversarial country with a nuclear weapon and a missile-delivery system.

Given the level of U.S. unpreparedness, it is estimated that within 12 months of an EMP event, two-thirds to 90 percent of the U.S. population would likely perish from starvation, disease and societal breakdown, according to the Secure the Grid Coalition.

The coalition is an ad hoc group of policy, energy and national security experts, legislators and industry insiders dedicated to strengthening the U.S. electrical grid by seeking the passage of legislation and raising public awareness of the national and international threat of an EMP.

Do I believe an event like this will happen in America BEFORE the rapture of the church?

No, I do not.

Why?

Because Jesus said in Matthew 24 that people would be eating, drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, just like it was in the days of Noah, before the flood..  So basically the folks on earth are just doing the everyday things of life and then Jesus comes for His bride and  the folks are left behind will endure the most heinous times earth has ever seen.  In fact the Tribulation Time will be so bad that Jesus said if he didn't return to stop it that NO FLESH would survive on planet earth.

Also remember that Jesus told his bride that WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE FEARFUL....so please don't read these types of articles and believe you need to pack your bags, guns and food and got sit in your earthen bunker in Montana....

But...to me this article is one more reminder of the awful things that WILL HAPPEN during the Great Tribulation....and if we can see all sorts of warnings and rumblings that The Tribulation is close.....and our "Blessed Hope" is that the rapture of the church PRECEDES this wrath of God....then HOW EXCITED AND PREPARED are we for the trumpet to blow when the Father sends the Son to go and collect His Bride, The Church?

Exciting times!!

Matthew 25
6 “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’

7 “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’

9 “‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’

10 “But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.
