How could you deal with a highly armed American populace all at once if you wanted to take down the country? Why isn’t Barack Obama impeached or arrested yet? How could you get rid of 90% of the American population without ever setting foot on our soil?
All those questions could very well have the same answer: an EMP attack.
An Electromagnetic Pulse is a short burst of energy that has the ability to completely fry any and all electronics and can be brought about by a exploding a nuclear device at high altitude (North Korea is capable of doing this right now) or even just by a solar flare. A cyber attack or simple physical assault could also take down our highly vulnerable grid.
Such an event would send us all back to the stone age as every single electronic device, including the power grid, would be completely destroyed.
Watch Judge Jeanine Pirro as she conducts and in-depth investigation into the vulnerability of our power grid and what would happen if we did lose it and all electronics in the country.

you blow a nuke up a certain amount of miles aobe the country in the atmopshere and that EMP spreads across the entire country
What you’re referring to is called an HEMP, and it can’t cover the country, it’s almost impossible. The curvature of the earth, and the earth’s magnetic field lend to the distribution of the electrons in an E1 burst, but also limit them, and the effect is maximized at higher latitudes, and a detonation height of approx 400km, creating an aoe that is similar in shape to half a donut, and and would cover a little less than one third of the country. It’s a different sort of emp than that created by a ground detonation, doing it’s damage by creating power surges. Fast acting surge protectors (the same type a lot folks use on their home entertainment centers and cookies that can be bought at any electronics store) will provide protection from an E1 HEMP. The military has literally no concern at all, I used to work for a company that made shielding for the US military, and it is used in all modern equipment and capable of shielding from the effects of E1, E2 and E3 emps. Most modern power plants, especially nuclear, are also sufficiently shield and protected. The size of nuke necessary to create a maximized effect, isn’t one you’re going to find in most nuclear capable countries either, including N Korea, Pakistan, India and other late comers to the nuclear table. Non ally threats might include China and Russia, That’s about it. The carrier vehicle is also important, because it basically requires an ICBM to travel that far and maintain the required altitudes, again limiting countries capable of carrying out such an attack to only China and Russia. Both the warhead and the carrier vehicle are far beyond the capabilities of any terrorist organization.
That was a f**e report…..
I am confused on what “faux noise” means. Does that have something to do with the center of disease along with ministries of health around the world putting the number at 6373 in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea? That number was from December 11. I assume you, howard, are denigrating fox news because they used statistics from the CDC and not…. you? Just out of curiosity what agency do you work for that is so confident the CDC’s information is misleading the people?

Consumer electronics aren’t shielded against anything including interference, but unless 9/10 people completely freak out when the power is off, still should be fine.
the real cancer is people like you
Faux news quit screaming about it after the election ,,,, Ebola has been around a long time but was used as a right wing scare tactic much like this is being used now ,,,, an imp attack would not take out 90 % of the country , it would take out lots of power grids ,,,,, its a simple scare tactic and gets chicken $#%&!@*s to vote Republican so the right wing agenda can once again fail the american people
Lol, are you idiots afraid of the dark?
Be careful.. You’re talking intellegently.. That hurts most people. 🙂
