Anonymous Coward User ID: 3738626 United States 12/04/2011 08:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The U.S. is becoming increasingly aware and concerned about the possibility within a few years of an electromagnetic pulse attack from an enemy's high-altitude nuclear explosion. The impact would include the loss of critical U.S. electrical infrastructure that could send the nation back into an 18th century agrarian economy, according to a report from Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 3172567 But experts have warned that such an attack could produce conditions more difficult than the 18th century due to the considerable increase in population and the total reliance by society on electricity and technology for life-sustaining factors, such as food production and delivery. Also hit would be transportation, medical and emergency services, telecommunications, and the economic and financial system. Republican presidential candidate and former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Newt Gingrich, in a nationally televised presidential debate, recently declared that the potential for an EMP attack is perhaps the most serious national security threat facing the United States today. However, there is another threat looming that is not only possible but actually forecast, and it could fry electronics and knock out the transformers in the national electric grid system.

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 3172567 United States 12/04/2011 10:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yeah I'm sure if an EMP fubars the grid and puts us back to the stone age, that it'll surely be one of our "enemies", you know, Iran, NKorea, Cuba...one of those military powerhouses. Yup you betcha. But since, post-EMP, there'll be no way to communicate that "fact" to us, they need to pre-emptively get it into the collective mindset, so that "if" it "does" happen, we all know who is and who is not to blame. Rally 'round the US gubmint, they're here to "protect" us should such an event occur. Do whatever "the man" says, it'll be, as surely "the man" will have our 300 million collective best interests at hand. Wait a sec, I need to go puke. |

Then of course you have those that would die of starvation,heat,cold,lack of water,just in time supply system dies instantly,and of course pretty much every thing we take for granted every day would be gone. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 5532150 United States 12/05/2011 11:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I took a primitive living skills course with a prominent instructor over the summer for this reason. It is the most probable and greatest threat to humanity in present time, these have been happening all throughout human history but only in the last 100 years have we made the transition to full dependence upon technology. 100 years is not a long time for the Sun. And of course "it" will happen this way, you have to understand that this will happen only when this perfect shit storm of international/domestic unrest begins to precipitate. If you have the means, I would highly suggest taking a primitive living skills / bushcraft course that covers skills applicable in the habitat of your local area, or at least have a plan with multiple alternatives, a place to go, and go to the library and research how the local indigenous people of your area were able to live without iphones and grocery stores. The occurrence of a solar storm with a magnitude severe enough to effect our technologically dependent lives gets more likely and likely as the days pass, these storms are inevitable and have been averaged to occur approx. once in a century. The last one was in 1859.... Trust me you are better off to spend 400 dollars now on a course that gives yourself the education to survive and protect those you love in a situation like this, than have 400 pieces of beautiful green fiat to burn as kindling after the fact. |
