American Consequences - September 2020

BLACKOUT... THEN WORLD WAR III

well, your guess as to what happens then is as good as mine. According to Grossman, “a high-altitude detonation of a powerful nuclear device would release a powerful EMP.” So powerful that scientists first discovered the EMP fallout of a hydrogen bomb during a test in 1962... Lights were burned out in Honolulu – 1,000 miles from the test location. Which means what if China, perhaps using Iran or North Korea, ever wanted to use an EMP to take out the United States? Completely doable . FAR WORSE THAN PEARL HARBOR According to a new report released this summer from the EMP Task Force on National and Homeland Security, China now has the ability to conduct a massive EMP attack on the United States. China has created at least three types of weapons designed to attack our electric grid... And these technologies (all stolen from the U.S.) would enable them to employ a “surprise Pearl Harbor” assault that could send Americans into a deadly blackout. Dr. Peter Pry, the executive director of the EMP task force set up by the president, says China not only has these super-EMP weapons in its arsenal, it knows how to protect itself against an EMP attack from us, and has developed protocols to conduct a first-strike attack – even though it denies it would ever do that.

ONE. BIG. MASSIVE. DESTRUCTIVE. FORCE OF ENERGY. In addition, Neil says, “the electromagnetic pulse issue is interesting and quite complicated. Sources can be either natural or man-made. Natural sources would include solar flares, which, when powerful, can be disruptive... as well as high energy cosmological sources like supernovae, collisions of black holes and the like... But, in general, natural EMP sources are so distant that the effect is relatively muted.” The type to really worry about is the non- natural, or man-made EMP. That Electromagnetic Pulse would destroy most of our country’s grid almost instantaneously. We’d have no way to get gas, no way to get money out of banks, no computers, no phones, no lights, no electricity... That EMP would destroy most of our country’s grid almost instantaneously. We’d have no way to get gas, no way to get money out of banks, no computers, no phones, no lights, no electricity... There would be no way to transport food or care for those in hospitals. It would be quite literally lights out. And there would be a massive loss of life as I mentioned before... According to government reports, 90% of Americans would die... and,
