What would happen under the circumstances of a cyberattack targeted towards America? Would people go Mad Max crazy? In Ted Koppel’s book “Lights Out” he explains that if the power grid were to go down due to cyberattack, it would go down for not only days, but for weeks or even months resulting in millions of people dying due to mass starvation.
Recently, National Security Agency (NSA) Director Admiral Michael Rogers warned listeners at a cyber-security conference that the threat isn’t a matter of “if“ it will happen, but “when.“
He used the example in which hackers in Ukraine used the Black Energy cyber-weapon to knock out the lights on more than 200,000 people across the region.
While speaking at the RSA Conference in San Francisco, he warned the audience that this will not be the “last we are going to see of this.“

The fragility of Donald Trump’s ego never ceases to amaze us. It’s been widely reported that Trump is so thin-skinned and sensitive, his staff must go to great lengths to shield him from negative news coverage because it might trigger yet another damaging Twitter meltdown. It turns out, the special treatment that Trump gets isn’t just a task for his administration – other countries are practically being forced to play along.
Earlier this year, Trump made his first trip overseas and it was an absolute disaster. Not only did Trump truly embarrass America, but it became clear that the rest of the world hates him just as much as we do. The U.K. claimed that due to the global resistance against him and his fear of being met with angry protesters, Trump didn’t want to pay a visit to its biggest ally anymore.
Apparently, Poland is trying to get around the fact that Trump is a child and needs to be coaxed like one. Polish media agencies are now reporting that the Polish government are going to great lengths to make Trump comfortable enough to visit their country. To combat the fact that most of Poland’s citizens dislike Trump, the country is going to bus people in to cheer for him during his visit.
The Associated Press stated that the Polish government “promised the White House a reception of cheering crowds as part of its invitation” and will “bus in groups from the provinces to hear Trump’s speech” to accomplish this.
This approach may be easier said than done, though. According to a new Pew poll, only 23 percent of Polish citizens view Trump favorably. In contrast, 58 percent of these citizens had confidence in former POTUS Barack Obama.
Trump’s lack of popularity combined with his insane ego is becoming a major obstacle to his presidential duties, as well as a drain on the world’s resources. No country should have to go out of their way like this simply because the leader of the free world can’t handle criticism. Something tells us that America is far from the only country that longs for the days of Obama.
And the evil politicians have sat back and done nothing to prevent this for years! I hope Trump is doing something!!
Mike Pace, you are an evil brainwashed liberal pos!! The liberals are destroying this country and you are blaming Trump??? Idiot!
THIS IS FOOLISH DON’T BROADCAST AMERICA’S WEAKNESS. IT’S LIKE LET A PERSON WHO WANTS TO DESTROY YOU . WERE YOU ARE ALL THE TIME.
Obama has a lot of pretty meaningless words…didn’t he.
Aging turbines, steampipe, etc in our power plants. Our power grid is an accident waiting to happen. We all might learn the hard way how to live off the grid!
The elites are prepared, it’s the average citizen’s who are not !
I still got some whale oil left.
Sadly, I believe this will happen. Better start canning food. Your freezers will be useless
You should have learned long before it came to this genius.
