U.S. Intelligence Chief Says Warning Lights Are ‘Blinking Red Again’… Just Like Before 9/11
It might be difficult for many to imagine a more devastating attack on U.S. soil than what occurred on September 11, 2001.
But as horrible as those terrorist attacks were, there could be something far more deadly right on our doorstep.
It won’t involve airplanes or guns or missiles or bombs. It will be silent and it will be invisible.
But the results will be catastrophic and they will affect everyone across our great nation. I’m talking about a massive cyber-attack.
‘Devastating’ Cyber Assault Warning
You’ve heard me give preparedness warnings before. But this time let me step aside so you can hear it from those who spend almost every waking hour trying to protect our country.
Dan Coats, Director of National Intelligence, is warning about a devastating cyber assault. One that will target critical U.S. infrastructure including our electrical grid.
He said this threat is “growing.” He added – and I quote – “warning lights are blinking red again.”
Coats says the U.S. is being targeted by DAILY CYBER STRIKES launched by Russia, China, Iran and North Korea.
“Today, the digital infrastructure that serves this country is literally under attack,” he said.
Russia Is the No. 1 Aggressor
Folks, these are not just daily “threats.” They are daily “cyber strikes.”
And they are being launched against the computer networks of our federal, state and local government agencies. Not to mention U.S. corporations and academic institutions.
Coats says Russia is by far the most aggressive of the four countries when it comes to these cyber-attacks.
He made these remarks recently, following a Department of Justice announcement.
It concerned the indictment of 12 Russian military intelligence officers. On charges of hacking into the computers of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 U.S. presidential campaign. And of Democratic Party organizations.
Is a Larger 9/11 Being Planned?
This news is scary enough on its own. We all know a successful cyber-attack against our electrical grid would have catastrophic results.
But what is making me much more nervous about this situation is a frightening comparison that Coats is asserting.
He warns that the possibility of a crippling cyber-attack on our critical infrastructure by a foreign actor is “growing.”
And get this. He’s comparing the cyber-attacks to the “alarming activities” that U.S. intelligence agencies detected before 9/11.
Coats said, “The system was blinking red. Here we are nearly two decades later. I’m here to say the warning lights are blinking red again.”
Other Security Experts Agree: This is Our Greatest Threat
Coats is not the only expert making these types of comments. When people trusted with the nation’s most sensitive secrets are asked which global threats worries them most, they repeatedly say the risk of a crippling cyber-attack.
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said last week that the U.S. is in “crisis mode.” She compared the danger of a massive cyber-attack to a Category 5 hurricane looming on the horizon.
Former CIA Director Leon Panetta says the biggest threat is “a cyber-attack that could paralyze the nation.”
Former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff adds, “Cyber-attacks on critical infrastructure from state or state-sponsored actors are the biggest threat right now.”
Fox News Reports Our Death Toll Would Be Staggering
A well-executed cyber-attack could knock out the electrical grid and shut off power to a huge swath of the country. Not to mention compromising vital government or financial data, leaving us unsure what is real and what isn’t.
The vast numbers of Internet-connected devices, from cars to pacemakers, means the risks are growing by the day.
When our electric grid fails, it will be like watching America have a heart attack right before your eyes. Because when the heart stops pumping… everything shuts down and the patient flat lines.
Our enemies could cripple our great country in a matter of minutes, without having to fire a single bullet. They could just sit back and watch as we self-destruct through looting, rioting and the targeting of police officers.
“Our death toll would be staggering” reports FOXNews. We’re all fine when the power goes out for a few hours and even days. But an extended blackout would be devastating.
Frank Gaffney, founder of the Center for Security Policy predicts, “… should the power go out and stay out for over a year, 9 out of 10 Americans would likely perish.”
There’s One Thing You Can Do
Friends, you and I are not capable of stopping cyber-attacks from Russia, China, Iran or North Korea. We hope and pray that our government is.
But there is one thing you can do to help protect your family.
More and more Americans are taking matters into their own hands and are securing their own solar powered generator.
Solar generators are a smart choice because they produce an endless supply of life-saving electricity when you need it most – and without gas, fumes or noise.
You can use it to run kitchen appliances. Charge your personal or medical devices. Or light up a room with an LED light string… for weeks at a time.
After reading all the hateful reviews, (with the exception of the last one), of blaming, fearmongering, fingerpointing etc., i just remembered and thought, what happened to my faith? So, I’ve decided against purchasing one of your units. Because if this is what the world will look like, I’d rather be among the many that perish and hasten my presence with the lord. Evildoers can kill my body, but no man can touch my soul! See, with all this talk of fear, attacks, emps, rioting, murders, rapes etc, with the exception of a major emp, we’ve been living with these things all along. I just got caught up in the moment and forgot who sustains me. I misplaced my faith. I put it in man instead of God. So no i will not be depending man. If it be Gods will let it be. Not mans will. And last but not least, i urge all of you to pray because time does grow short and there are no do-overs!
Go with God
My question is, “who benefits; who gets the spoils of such devastation. How can these enemies afford losing their most prominent market?” ( If they are planning to invade in the aftermath…; “we/ll make them pay).
Forget about Russia and foreign interference being the #1 threat. The Obama cult and the communist DNC is already on our soil ready to destroy our country. Need to stop them first. Clintons sold our secrets to China and Russia. They should all be in gitmo or shot for treason.
how dare you try to capitalize on these dire warnings! this is an example of unscrupulous company’s in this country trying to make a buck off of scaring people. blowing things way out of proportion to sell a product. shame on you. i will never buy any product related to your sleazy company.
I have no doubt about the cyber threats/attacks we are under by foreign enemies. Not even down playing the devastation.
What does bother me is that you are using your message to stoke fear into Americans and you just happen to sell the answer to their fears. Shame on you.
9 out of 10 Am. may die from a long term power outage ! Bunk. You give Am. way to little credit for being innovative and finding ways to make things work out. Somehow we managed to establish and settle this great country w/out the electrical system. We can do it again by rolling up our shirt sleeves and finding ways to make, what you think, the impossible, possible.
Americans truly shine when the chips are down and the cards are stacked against us. I think we become more united by sharing common turmoil and the people will rise up to meet even the common looters and thieves and put them in their place.
Give America a break and quit stoking fear so you can sell your answers !
Great point…; “only the strong will survive – no snowflakes to hinder progress…!”
Why doesn’t the Government get off of it’s dead ass and do something about this problem instead of sending foreign aid to countries that would just as soon see (us ) U.S.A. crippled and dying than not….is our Government stupid or what ( I know the “dimwit or demonic-rat party” is) …. “WAKE_UP AMERICA”……KEEP AMERICA GREAT” ! ! !
If there is something catastrophic coming, I’d rather die than be in a hellish world. I’m not afraid of dying and neither is my husband. We know that there is eternal life waiting for us!
I find it disgusting that you use “Russiaphobia” to make a sale. U.S. hegemony is the real threat to this country as we have over 800 bases occupying over 170 countries in the world, a world that is gradually turning against us. A real patriot keeps his own house in order and leads by example. Oh, and let’s not forget what today, 8/19/18, is. It’s the 65th anniversary of the CIA overthrow of the Iranian government, one of over 50 governments we’ve overthrown since WWII. And don’t forget the 80+ foreign elections we’ve interfered in in the same time frame to ensure our puppets are in place. If the cyber attacks happen, then the chickens will have finally come home to roost through no fault of anyone but a disgustingly corrupt, defacto government.
I read your article with my usual GREAT interest until you started SELLING……………..In our house the “COWBOY’, as he is respectfully named here, suddenly becomes just another “used car salesman” Please don’t take this negatively , we don’t, however as real as the message is it is immediately “watered down” when it’s about SALES…I understand it to be iresistable , something the used car dealers us like “valentines day Saint Patrik’s day ETC. if you get my drift….I’M JUST SAYING…maybe separate cover would be the answer!!!! The message is “SPOT ON”
Well i am interested in your solar power supply but talked to people in the valley in calif.. was told emp..
would distroy solar gen….Not smart on this true….
It is TE that will destroy each of us! I harbor no hate, and I trust that God will see us through. Be prepared? The best advice we can heed!
