EMP threat keeps looming larger
There’s been much in the news lately about electromagnetic pulses and what kind of damage they might do to our society. And not just in the news. Books, TV shows and movies are all focusing on this subject now. Whether it’s caused by solar flares or by terrorists detonating a nuclear bomb high above the Earth, an EMP could wipe out our electrical grid and send us back to the 1800s.
This isn’t science fiction stuff, folks. It’s real, and there are a lot of people in high places who are concerned about it. All we have to do is look at what the Pentagon is doing and we’ll see how real it is. In order to protect our missile defenses from the effects of an EMP, the government is building a $44 million EMP bunker in Alaska.
Why do we need a missile defense base in the first place? Well, we have two domestic missile defense bases. The other one is in California. The idea is that if any country were to ever fire missiles at us, we would hopefully be able to shoot them out of the sky before they land here. (There’s debate about how effective our missile defenses really are, but that’s the subject for another day.)
So, if anyone could disable our missile defense bases first, then they’d be able to fire missiles at us that we couldn’t possibly stop. And the best way to take out our missile defense bases might be with an EMP, or what our military calls an HEMP (high-altitude electromagnetic pulse).
If the Pentagon is serious enough about a potential EMP threat to spend $44 million on an EMP bunker, we ought to start thinking about how we can protect our personal electronic equipment from an EMP as well.
How serious do you think an EMP threat is, either from solar flares or a terrorist attack? Is it something we should be concerned about? I’d love to hear from you about this.
An EMP would stop everything with an electronic brain in its tracts. So prepare to survive without power for at least a year. Water food shelter &protection. Talk to your neighbors & prepare. Only you can save your life.
in the event of an e.m.p. what needs to be protected, is it anything with electric circuit? what about small motors? what about power tools, saws, drills etc. I’ve got solar off grid.
You all have missed on large segment of the population that will immediately die and we are the ones with defibrillator and or pacemaker implants. That High-energy electromagnetic pulse will most likely burn our hearts thus killing us. When I told my doctor that he said he never even thought about. Well I did when I found out I had revived that implant when I died on Sept.2, 2012. So tell any of your friends that have the implant to help control their hearts then need a safe room or closet to get in when that happens if there is enough warning.
Okey dokey, $44 mill for one ICBM system. Any plans for the rest of the power grid?
I’m also a Bible believing person, and I do see Revelations being acted out as we speak. I’m a Jewish Christian, and daily speak with our Lord~ How I pray that the church will be raptured before the tribulation even though many do not agree. Having not been brought up as a Christian, I’m just learning about the rapture, however, no matter what, we must all be as prepared as possible, My husband thinks I’m nuts, so everything for me is an uphill battle. Fema camps are real, and filled with coffins, and have barbed wire just like in the Holocaust so one cannot escape. Obama has been nurtured along since a young age to become a Manchurian Candidate. He was prepped to Kill America~ All of these so called Accidents, Racial divides etc, are done by Design. Think of that next time you read the paper or listen to the news. Last I heard, Obama has given a huge amount of Alaska to Russia~He is a traitor, and should be hung for Treason along with the rest of his government! Harry Reid thinks supporting our troops is a waste of time…nice guy, right? God help us~
Please watch this video. It’s estimated to cost $3 billion to protect the sub-stations of our grid from an EMP. Supposedly, this has all gone to congress for approval and been shut down by Harry Reid. Only our military systems are being protected. Obama just spent $1 Billion on his Africa Homecoming trip, but it doesnt appear that the Feds will spend the $3 Billion necessary to protect the grid. What does this tell you about the republicans and and democrats?

Harry Reid is not in charge — a Republican-in-Name-Only, Mitch McConnell, is. Seen any change?
Mitch M is too busy importing drugs into our country along with Jeb Bush and his daddy~ They should be in prison for life, if not crucified!
Prove it! Or shut the fuck up!
Prove it!
This article tells us about what the military is planning to protect the ICBM’s that are protecting the USA…
I do have some questions…
1) WHY did they move away from Cheyenne Mountain in the first place if everything was already there???
2) WHAT is the plan to protect the US Power Grid??? If the grid goes down for months, this will cause tens of millions of American deaths… WHY are we not protecting the Grid??? Seems like the “leaders” do NOT care about the population… the MAIN JOB of the federal government is to PROTECT the USA!!!!
Worried about an EMP? Well you should be more worried about our Government. For the last 25 years the good ole US of A has been working on a weapon, an EMP rifle. This is a portable weapon that they hope to shrink down to a hand held device. Then they can stop trucks, cars and even planes, if necessary. At the present this EMP weapon is too large to be of use. You see they want to use this weapon in a limited direction so as not to take out their own equipment. What good is it taking out the enemy equipment when it can also take out yours too in the process.
Yes, there are other sources of EMP attacks that can damage man-made equipment on a grand scale; but if they can limit it to a smaller more economical version – well it is more efficient, according to the military thinking processes.
So what can you do about it? Protect your more essential equipment in a locked metal Faraday cage or box. Just remember if you put a communication device like a cell phone or short wave radio or CB radio, even a radio – you might be the only one on the air. Consider putting electronic parts in your box. Parts essential for the operation of your car. Most if not all cars today use a computer brain to operate your vehicle. There are other essential electronic parts you should also consider as well. I’ll let you think on it a bit. But if we were to be hit with an EMP from the sun or atomic weapon – well we will all be in it together.
A solar flare (also an EMP), like the one in the 1890’s, will do the same damage as a nuclear missile, and our defense system won’t do us a bit of good! We need to be prepared for any scenario that can take down our electric grid for months, disable vehicles, computers and anything else electronic that isn’t protected.
I urge readers to do whatever they can to get state and federal government to act. For starters, e-mail the White House to voice support for the letter sent 5/27/15 to Pres. Barack Obama by the EMP Task Force (see http://www.emptaskforcenhs.com for this letter. I also recommend you watch the video on this website “Fade to Black: How Vulnerable is Our Electric Grid & Power Supply presented by Dr. Peter Vincent Pry in Apr 2015 (it is almost 2 hrs long with a bit much background, but well worth watching to the end). Dr. Pry gives a bit of encouragement – he says that CenterPoint Energy (based in Houston, TX) is hardening its system – no details on the status of this (does any one know?). Texas is unique in that it has its own grid (ERCOT). The state of Maine leads the nation in hardening its system. Dr. Pry’s belief is that the public has a much better chance to change things on the state level vs. the federal level. I am just now beginning my own personal mission to get the Texas legislature, governor, PUC, ERCOT to get off their butts and harden the entire grid in Texas. Together, we can force our respective state governments to act. Is there any citizen group in Texas addressing hardening the electric grid – I will join! I’m all for personal preparedness, but EMP protection is one thing that can be addressed by each state’s PUC and the federal government. You may also want to check out http://www.thenoahprojects.com and become a member, if you can afford it. Let’s rise up and start a grassroots movement in each state for EMP protection!
Because the world is becoming more violent anf immoral, I fear an EMP>
However, fRANK, YOUR TOMATO SEEDS ARE FRAIL AND NOT GROWING THE WAY THEY SHOULD. i MUST “BABY” THEM. hELP, i LIKEM TOMATOS
Annies Heritage seeds has fantastic seeds
I am worried about a solar flare-we’re past due, an EMP, but if Putin has internet control of our power grid-he can cause the same chaos on demand.
We all need to have some necessities just in case. I want to be the best Bou Scout I know

I think what we have to worry about is the death star predicted in the Bible. I don’t worry about an EMP now that I see the government is preparing to counter it.
First POSITIVE article I’ve seen from this website. THANK YOU! Yes, I’m very glad we are spending money on countering an EMP and protecting our vulnerable system. I don’t feel the need to protect my own electronics. All I have is a computer. And I have access to a vehicle with no electronics to fry.
I urge the reading of William Forstchen’s intriguing novel ‘One Second After’ for an idea of the possible consequences of a high alitutude EMP.
very good read! I recommend everyone read it this guy absolutely knows what he is talking about!
The Marxist regime now in power in Washington doesn’t want the populace to wake up and smell the stink of their corruption. Nor do they want us to prepare for what they are planning…now that they have gained control over the internet it is probably against the law to advise this (but I’ll do it anyway) “Read and Prepare, then Pray to God to save America from the evil ones destroying this nation!”
I totally agree with you~ They are also the ones who are federalizing the police, and also starting all the racial divides. Holder, Sharpton, Lynch, Blake, R. Emmanuel and the Black Panthers are all involved. Talk of an EMP is for sure. The only way to stop all this is to end the Federal Reserve because that will end the Global Elite, who finance all this crap! They control everything in every nation even though they are 1% of the population. It’s time to put an end to their reign. On Facebook we are starting a grassroots movement by word of mouth to not vote for any d or r until we can end this Fed Reserve.
I truly believe We will be the victims of an enemy attack that will destroy our electrical grid. The Obama administration is incapable of defending our Country as they have no leadership, and will head to their underground bunkers while we all suffer and die, unless We are prepared
George Soros, Michael Bloomberg, Bill Gates, Obama, Mark Z., Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Bilderberg’s, All those Billionaires and families are in on it~ Many doctors, Morgan Chase, Huge Pharmacies, and the like~ H. Clinton, Bush, all Communists~
I am wondering how I can protect my solor inverter and electrical components when and if I ever get it set up.
Obviously having solar isn’t going to help if the grid goes down and our own system isn’t protected
I am also and what about our solar panels will they be affected?
It seems to me a very important point is being overlooked. If a terrorist group detonates a nuke high above the earth that will affect the US our missile defense will have already failed.
Our satellites must be hardened against EMP already. They are subjected to many solar flares and space radiation every year. Unless a missile is a direct hit, I don’t see us losing any of our satellites on a permanent basis. There is no atmosphere or magnetic Poles to dissipate the EMP either.
I am amazed that people are not absolutely in fear of this situation. I am arguably an optimist at all situations in life but cannot believe folks are preparing for an EMP event. I just read an article from OUR government that sites EVERYTHING! Yet we still go about our business as it will never happen. Here’s the link in case you want to share. http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/natsec/RL32544.pdf
I Also Think this is very Serious! I Think us Little people should do what we can to take care of our Families and friends, and prepare even if it’s just alittle…… when things start happening in our solar system that we have no control over and the Rich and Heads of Military go underground……….. WE LITTLE PEOPLE NEED TO HAVE SOME KIND OF READINESS…i for one do not want to be in the town to try to buy food and supplies….. it’s going to be horrific!!!! i hope all of my family will have a plan to get together , eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for maybe the last time…… and PRAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m trying to prepare for my family…….. I would Rather try to survive at home and NOT in a FEMA Camp :(
