Russia’s “K Project” EMP threat
In 1963, the United States, Russia and the United Kingdom signed the Limited Test Ban Treaty, also known as the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. The agreement, which prohibited all test detonations of nuclear weapons except underground, was designed to stop the excessive release of nuclear fallout into the earth’s atmosphere and, just as important, to slow an arms race that each country was beginning to understand was a lose-lose proposition.
The treaty came on the heels of a test conducted over the Soviet Union in 1962 in which a 300-kiloton missile warhead detonated west of Dzhezkazgan at an altitude of 180 miles. One in a series of nuclear tests performed by the Soviet Union and known as the K Project, it blew the fuses and overvoltage protectors on telephone lines, burned down a power plant and shut down 620 miles of power cables.
That’s what we know, based on information shared informally with U.S. scientists after the collapse of the Soviet Union. But how much more might we not know about the devastating effects of this EMP? As the K Project Wikipedia entry reveals (see link below), formal scientific documentation of some of the EMP damage is still sparse in open scientific literature.
Please take a look at the article. Meet you on the other side.

Do you think Russia has more information about its 1962 EMP that went awry than it has shared publicly? If so, does Russia owe it to the world to share that information? And what should the U.S. do if Russia refuses to divulge it? Let me know what you think.

EMP Survival Guide: Did you know that defense experts are warning that this “weird” device could wipe out 280,000,000 Americans? In fact, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich wrote an op-ed piece recently for the Washington Post warning about the deadly threat from EMPs. I highly recommend you check out this video that reveals the #1 way you and your family can survive this deadly attack.
We really don’t need Russia to tell us about their experiences with EMP in 1962. We know full-well what the impact would be. By the way, the power grid could be protected from both natural and man-made EMPs, but congress and the president are too lame to take any action.
show you how “God has been working astonishing MIRACLES through MARY to SAVE THE WORLD FROM COMMUNISM and NUCLEAR ANNIHILATION !” (cotes from the letter sent by Catholic Familyland – Apostolate for Family Consecration, Bloomingdale, Ohio, in June 11, 1999 to warn us about the danger of Y2K, wars, terrorist attacks and other treats). EMP seems to be worst than Y2K:
On the FATIMA ANNIVERSARY of May 13, 1955, the Soviet Army suddenly pulled out of the strategic country of austria, which it had seized at the end of World War II. Why? Because for SEVEN years, 10 percent of the Austrian people had PRAYED THE ROSARY daily for the departure of the enemy soldiers.
On the FATIMA anniversary of October 12-13, 1960, one million people prayed the ROSARY at Fatima overnight, despite a bone-chilling rain. That same night, the Soviets’ new long range A-bomb carrying missile blew up during a test, killing 300 top scientists. The Soviet’ atomic missile program was set back for years.
In 1962, 600,000 Brazilian women took to the streets and saved their country from a Communist takeover. Their weapon? The Rosary!
On April 25, 1974, a communist military coup took over the government of Portugal. The bishops responded by reconsecrating the country to Mary. Thousands of souls flocked to Fatima to repent and pray the Rosary. After much reparation, loyal army units in 1975 took back the government without a bloodbath.
On May 13, 1984, one of the largest crowds in Fatima history gathered at the Shrine to pray the Rosary for peace, That same day, a gigantic explosion at the Soviets’ Severomorsk naval base destroyed two-thirds of all the missiles stockpiled for the most powerful naval force, the Northern Fleet. The blast also destroyed the workshops needed to maintain the missiles, and killed hundreds of scientists and technicians.
During the night of May 12, 1988, as thousands prayed the Rosary at Fatima, another mysterious explosion wrecked the only factory that made the rocket motors for the Soviets’ deadly SS-24 long-range missiles, which carry 10 nuclear bombs each.
On May 14, 1992, a series of unexplained blasts thundered for hours at Soviets’ big naval base at Vladivostok, destroying huge quantities of weapons. Officials evacuated more than 50,000 people.
On May 14, 1994, yet another bomb storage depot of the Soviet Pacific Fleet (near Novonezhino) blew sky-high, shaking the ground 60 mile away.
Our merciful Father gave us the “PEACE PLAN FROM HEAVEN” at FATIMA. Jesus sent His holy Mother to our world to ask us to amend our lives and make reparation for the sins of the world.
I have no doubt that Iran, with Russian permission, will attempt, and succeed, in detonating 3 nukes at around 225 miles above Kansas.
Remember last year when a sub launched a missile off the coast of California…govt said it was just a jet contrail…yeah, right. Did you also know that Iran has said they did it. Yes, they do have nuke subs. They purchased them from our buddy Vladimir Putin, the next Czar of Russia.
Scenario: Container ship or fishing trawler just in International waters off the coasts of New England, Gulf of Mexico, and San Fransicko all launch a Hiroshima sized nuke simultaneously. Our response time is WAY inadequate to intercept this attack.
No animal, environmental, or vegetable damage…but within 1 second following the detonation, the North American Continent is thrown back in time to 1850ish because the power grid is demolished. The equipment needed to replace destroyed equipment isn’t even made in America…and there is around a 3 yr waiting list for the largest transformers.
No vehicles made since the intro of electronic fuel ignition will run. I hope my 1975 F-100 will. Not that I think it will really make any difference.
Amish look kinda’ smart now, huh?
Even if other countries wanted to render aid to us, just how would they do it?
Sadly, it doesn’t end here as our Sub Fleet turns Iran, N. Korea, and Venezuela into green glowing glass. The Paki’s, will lob a couple at India (they have over 100 useable nukes mounted on missile warheads). Russia sides with the Paki’s and China with India…Man, what a buzz kill!
