EMP Would Collapse Our Entire Society

Most folks in America give zero thought to how our lives would cease without electricity.  No cell phones, no social media, no gas pumps, no Walmart, no grocery stores, no refrigerators, no way to contact your family 5 miles away, no hospitals.  How long would you survive if the lights went out today and never came on again?  Would your neighbors help each other to survive or would people turn on each other as fear, hunger and thirst took over?  Society thinks it can do without Jesus today,  but what if it’s the power of Jesus and the restraining power of the Holy Spirit that is the only thing holding this nightmare scenario at bay?

In critical facilities across the country, experts predict that it is only a matter of time before the electrical infrastructure holding society together undergoes catastrophic failure. According to a 2017 report of the United States Congressional Commission appointed to assess the risk, we face the threat of "long-lasting disruption and damage" to everything from power and clean water to electronic banking, first-responder services, and functioning hospitals. Until now, such a dire prediction has typically been associated with only the most extreme doomsday true believers but William Graham, the former chairman of the Congressional Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Commission, says that in this case they could be right.

In beind-the-scenes projections, some experts predict that if such a critical meltdown of infrastructure expands beyond regional containment, anywhere from 60 to 90 percent of the U.S. population will be dead within roughly the first 11 months. While that prediction might appear extreme, it could conceivably be optimistic. In his 2008 testimony to the U.S. House of Representatives on the threat posed by an EMP attack, Graham summarized the calculation, stating: "We don't have experience with losing the infrastructure in a country with 300 million people, most of whom don't live in a way that provides for their own food and other needs. We can go back to an era when people did live like that ... 10 percent would be 30 million people, and that is probably the range where we could survive as a basically rural economy."
