EMP Attack

[Stg1swret]

Found this interesting little tidbit on FOX today. Makes you wonder why they are bringing it up.
Fox News - Breaking News Updates | Latest News Headlines | Photos & News Videos (http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/happening-now/index.html#/v/1325670918001/is-us-prepared-electromagnetic-pulse-attack/?playlist_id=86919?test=faces)

Unsung scenario, if what was ‘warned’ about here was to happen …

EMP from Iran hits the USA and puts the USA into a state of apocalyptical chaos.

USA and ally nations declare war on Iran and Iran’s ally China gets involved … North Korea joins in … and hello world war f*cking 3.

Swift population reduction right here folks.

Is this tinfoil? I don’t know, … if you told people a year about Fox news would have a serious speaker about EMP with a nation who is capable of executing such a thing … that would have been tinfoil if you ask me. I look forward to people letting me know this is an impossibility and those FEMA camps are just for funzies to create jobs.

:confused::confused::confused::confused:

Remember that Iran's nuclear facility is only for "peaceful" purposes, as their people need nuclear power. If you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you.

I find anything on Fox News hard to take seriously...but that's just me.

[bacpacker]

I find most anything on any mainline news channel, from NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, & Fox, hard to take at face value. Nothing much gets reported on that don't come with it's own slant to direct thought in a given direction. If not outright lies/propagada.

[realist]

Stgiswret there is more than one facility. Well I say leave it up to the Israelis. I would imagine that it will be in their best interest to take them out in a year or two. They can not allow them to continue.

[Sniper-T]

I have a bridge to sell you.

How much? Do you have any pictures? sizes? dimensions? is shipping included?

bwahahaha

[Sparrow]

Is the bridge for sale on ebay? Sounds good, I will start the bidding at 250k. I keep cash like this in my back pockets ... the bulk looks like nice ass-implants ...

I feared this was the one... It is not however what I was looking for. Thanks though. Keep me in mind if you have one of these:

That one is all yours Sparrow!

[realist]

$2,500.95 in pennies? Will the shipping go under it then?

[ladyhk13]

Anyone ever read "One Second After"?

[Sniper-T]

^
yup!

[realist]

Interesting book, not a bad read. I would recommend it.

[Sparrow]

I haven't read it.

One Second After - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Second_After)

Looks good!

Survivalist book club anyone? :)

[Stormfeather]

Its a good read, very stark in its details of how things can happen very quickly and how far downhill things will degrade.

[realist]

It was one of the Christmas presents I gave my son.

An EMP bomb is not nuclear in nature according to what that guy said in the video.

I would guess that we and Russia & China have EMP bombs already. Who knows who else has them in developement.

You also heard him say in a year most of the population would be dead. The unprepared to live like they did in the 1800s. Probably starvation and then from whatever sickness all the dead bodies cause.

Believe or not.....there is usually some part of the truth in all lies. In our day and time, ANYTHING is possible and probable.

[bacpacker]

LB I totally agree with you. Take a bit of truth and build a story to suit your needs. The media is great at it. Just like taking an interview of someone, then take tiny little snippets and piece them together to turn what was actually said into something unrecognizable. it happens on a regular basis.

[Grumpy Old Man]

The best way to lie is to tell a piece of the truth!

I'm NOT trying to be political but - did anyone watch Glen Beck? He was tagged as a flake, conspiracy theorist, etc - but much of what he said came true, enough so that I sat up and started listening. He also was heavily into advising people to prep, and he does know what he is talking about along those lines. I've heard he has several shows on his web channel about preping, but haven't checked them out. Also, even the "CDC" put out stuff on what to do in case Zombies attack - presumably as a joke - but the info is still on their website. Also, other main stream media are starting to have little stories here and there about prepping - usually with the angle of the people being crazy - but the info is making it's way out there. I think it's to the point that they can't ignore it anymore, but at least the info is getting out there. I find FOX is more likley to have a serious angle on prepping at this point, but they are working a political angle. It doesn't matter though, I will still sit up and listen. For that matter, maybe I'll check into a Morman Church, they're pretty heavy into prepping and even have a church website were you can buy the stuff! I know this site is supposed to be apolitical, but we need to keep abreast of politics because I feel this could be an internal cause of SHTF. If you watch, it's mainly FOX vs the rest (the rest being representative of the current admin). I would suggest watching both and you can track what is going on. I'm not saying to watch FOX and take it for the absolute truth, but a lot of the "alarmist" things they say actually do occur.

Anybody see the movie Open Range? Remember not far into it, about the badguys telling s story, and Quaids character talking about how folks will tell you their bad intentions?
This does happen in reality. Does that mean this particular thing will happen? No. Does it mean it won't? No. Just another possibility to prep for.

Any first person shooter game players here? Remember Homefront? North Korea taken over by the son, son trying to take over the world.
Well, the son is in power now. Of course, that doesn't mean that he will try to take over the world. I only mention it to point out that there isn't a lot of coincidence in the entertainment industry. Several things have happened similar to something done earlier by the entertainment industry.
I'm gonna stop now, lest I get into tinfoil hat area.

Not to stir up an old dead thread, but I heard something recently about this threat again. I forget where, but don't forget, ONE SECOND AFTER's forward was written by Newt Gingrich, presidential hopeful, based off this fed gov report... http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=risk%20of%20emp%20attack%20in%20us&source=web&cd=3&ved=0CC0QFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.empcommission.org%2Fdocs%2Fem pc_exec_rpt.pdf&ei=wuNLT5OqKIyltwfhwvXuAg&usg=AFQjCNEERJCd0cHbfWtuQr8FqRGPZ-CcMg
