WTF? Billionaire Hedge Fund Manager Warns Investors About EMP Attack! | |
411 User ID: 60900595 United States 07/29/2014 05:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | EMP is such a bullshit threat. My friend and I once used a Van De Graaf generator he had to zap the shit out of a computer in various places and it kept running just fine. Modern electronics are not that fragile to a little bit of electricity in the air. Just scaremongering to keep up people's tolerance for ever more bullshit. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 57577161 Thunderstorms fried my desktop Dell computer that was plugged into a surger. The computer was turnd off, but plugged into the surger. (Not a $100+ surger, but a surger.) Took it to two different repair shops. They told me you never ever leave a computer plugged in during a thunderstorm. The computer was destroyed. I feel your pain. I was awoken one morning a while back to an early morning thunder storm. Just as the sun was coming up a bolt hit a tree about 15ft from the house. It took out my flat screen in the bedroom, a 2.1 speaker set, several power outlets, and something else I can't recall at the moment. NOW, every time I leave the house when it may storm or if I'm in it at the time I'm running around unplugging stuff. |

MisfitToy User ID: 28643549 United States 07/29/2014 05:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | North Korea has a satellite that flies right over the USA, at the perfect altitude to inflict a country wide EMP pulse. What are the chances that it is carrying a nuke? Their fearless leader feels confident enough about his nuclear strike capability to issue threats, one of them this week. Studies have been done to estimate the effects of such a scenario and the results are grim. It is estimated that 90% of the US. Population would be dead within a year or less. That is a pretty scary weapon. What is even more troubling is that the blast would simply create the conditions for Americans to annihilate themselves. Take a look in the news. Are you confident that when faced with such extreme hardship, that the population will band together and perform all of the manual labor necessary to rebuild?

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 42095573 Guess what one of the purposes of chemtrails (aluminum, strontium & barium) are? Chaff, originally called Window[1] by the British, and Düppel by the Second World War era German Luftwaffe (from the Berlin suburb where it was first developed), is a radar countermeasure in which aircraft or other targets spread a cloud of small, thin pieces of aluminium, metallized glass fibre or plastic, which either appears as a cluster of primary targets on radar screens or swamps the screen with multiple returns. Modern armed forces use chaff (in naval applications, for instance, using short-range SRBOC rockets) to distract radar-guided missiles from their targets. Most military aircraft and warships have chaff dispensing systems for self-defence. An intercontinental ballistic missile may release in its midcourse phase several independent warheads, a large number of decoys, and chaff. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 57577161 Sure, sure. [link to www.youtube.com] Whoa, that vid's a real eye-opener. Now I'm worried that a false-flag EMP attack is closer than we imagined. I wonder how that plane shields itself from blowback. I suppose the directed-energy beam is very tightly focussed. If so, I don't believe the effects would be as widespread and calamitous as the nuclear variety. It could very easily take out all of the IRS's files and emails though, LOL. It's not the plane doing the strike. It's in a missile the plane launches. That way they aren't anywhere near at the time. When the missile has done it's job, it goes till it's out of propellant and comes down. |

Your comparing apples to oranges "Many telegraph lines across North America were rendered inoperable on the night of August 28 as the first of two successive solar storms struck. E.W. Culgan, a telegraph manager in Pittsburgh, reported that the resulting currents flowing through the wires were so powerful that platinum contacts were in danger of melting and “streams of fire” were pouring forth from the circuits. In Washington, D.C., telegraph operator Frederick W. Royce was severely shocked as his forehead grazed a ground wire. According to a witness, an arc of fire jumped from Royce’s head to the telegraphic equipment. Some telegraph stations that used chemicals to mark sheets reported that powerful surges caused telegraph paper to combust." [link to www.history.com] |

Quoting: Hugh M Eye "While these pages are typically chock full of scary or depressing scenarios, there is one risk that is head-and-shoulders above all the rest in terms of the scope of potential damage adjusted for the likelihood of occurrence," Singer wrote to clients of his $24.8 billion Elliott Management on Monday in a standard investment update letter.

Vic138 User ID: 55419814 United States 07/29/2014 07:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Singer's nickname (used by his friends as well) is 'the Vulture'. He bought 90 billion old Congo govt' bonds for 10 billion because Congo isn't a country any longer. But the bonds are still good and redeemable by the new country (whatever that is now). So he had the US government issue 90 billion in aid to the new country. This money was then used to pay off the bonds. There are many other stories about this guy. Greg Pallast has documented many of these. I wouldn't take this seriously, he must have a plan though. To learn who rules over you, find out who you are not allowed to criticize. When the government is wrong, it's dangerous to be right. The secret of freedom lies in educating people, whereas the secret of tyranny is in keeping them ignorant. -Robspierre |
