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.“

We, as a society, are far too dependant on our technology. If the electricity stops flowing, all of our technology goes out the window. No communication. No food. No water, unless you have a source of fresh water nearby that you can utilize. No way to create weapons with which to defend yourself and others. When the grid fails, anarchy and chaos will ensue. The only thing you can do is prepare to survive it. Non perishable foods. Water, both bottled and fresh. Clothing. Habitation. Weapons. And make good friends with your neighbors, and convince them to prepare as well. Because once the$#%&!@*hits the fan, you WILL need help keeping what you have
A sad excuse of a leader who’s job is to make sure that does not happen.
