EverDownward 10/14/17 12:11:34 AM #1:	Congress was warned Thursday that North Korea is capable of attacking the U.S. today with a nuclear EMP bomb that could indefinitely shut down the electric power grid and kill 90 percent of "all Americans" within a year. At a House hearing, experts said that North Korea could easily employ the "doomsday scenario" to turn parts of the U.S. to ashes. In calling on the Pentagon and President Trump to move quickly to protect the grid, the experts testified that an explosion of a high-altitude nuclear bomb delivered by a missile or satellite "could be to shut down the U.S. electric power grid for an indefinite period, leading to the death within a year of up to 90 percent of all Americans." Two members of the former congressional EMP commission said the threat to the U.S. has never been higher, in part because of the current high level of saber rattling by both sides and North Korea's surprising display over the past six months of its ability to deliver on its threats. "With the development of small nuclear arsenals and long-range missiles by new, radical U.S. adversaries, beginning with North Korea, the threat of a nuclear EMP attack against the U.S. becomes one of the few ways that such a country could inflict devastating damage to the United States. It is critical, therefore, that the U.S. national leadership address the EMP threat as a critical and existential issue, and give a high priority to assuring the leadership is engaged and the necessary steps are taken to protect the country from EMP," the experts told a House Homeland Security subcommittee. William R. Graham, chairman of the former EMP commission and its former chief of staff, Peter Vincent Pry, said that the U.S. has ignored the warning signs for years and that North Korea's military moves this year must be seen as a wake-up call. Their testimony also highlighted the failure of the Pentagon or Congress to extend the life of the EMP Commission and they recommended deeper study into the threat, include from a simple solar flare. "Our current vulnerability invites attack," they said. -http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/congress-warned- north-korean-emp-attack-would-kill-90-of-all-americans/article/2637349 -http://archive.is/q3HHL --- http://i.imgur.com/DKNJbBm.jpg Official Praying Monk from the Sky Temple of the MKX boards <cite>EverDownward posted [p:888398694] in Congress w...

Think about this, with no electricity we have no way to store most foods at all.</quote> Yep And no way any of our allies around the world ship us generators, food, water, equipment needed to repair the important electrical devices in our country etc. nope, we wouldn't even get enough aid just to set up the bare essentials. All farms with our millions of cows and chickens would vanish, our large amount of wildlife like deer, rabbit, duck, pheasant, etc would all die out and surely no one would hunt those animals because an EMP magically disabled your firearms. And even though you can preserve food to an extant without refrigeration, there is no way we'd be able to figure it out. /End sarcasm No doubt an EMP attack would be bad and I'm sure people would die but holy crap is 90% an over exaggeration. An EMP doesn't send you back to the Stone Age and cut us off from the rest of the world.</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

Isn't that just temporary and then the electronics start working again? Sorry idk how military tech like that works.
