Analyst's note:  Just a thought, it seems that based on this article, amateur radio operators (ham) - with renewable backup power - are becoming more important by the day to our U.S. national security.  This will certainly be true should the nation be thrown back into an agriculture age without electricity for months at a time.  If you think this will not impact you and your family, then read the "related articles" and "more analyst's notes" ... and please think again. 

Not that it seems to matter much, but I have been warning audiences about this for the last  30 years through both the written and spoken word.  I have been in good company.  “Within a year of that attack (electromagnetic pulse), nine out of 10 Americans would be dead, because we can’t support a population of the present size in urban centers and the like without electricity,” said Frank Gaffney, president of the Center for Security Policy. “And that is exactly what I believe the Iranians are working towards.” 

In the mean time, we see representative Sheila Jackson Lee got a major boost from the Congressional Black Caucus with an official endorsement to fill Janet Napolitano's seat as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

In a letter dated July 24, Ohio representative and caucus chair Marcia Fudge asks President Barack Obama to consider the Houston lawmaker for the federal appointment, noting her posts on House Committees for Foreign Affairs, Homeland Security and the Judiciary since she joined Congress in 1995.

Lee currently serves as the ranking member of the Homeland Security Subcommittee on Border and Maritime Security, where the Black Caucus says she stands as a "strong and honest 'voice of reason.' "

The same people are preparing a Devious election plot bypasses Constitution that will permit a "national popular vote" effort, which would see only 14 states – those with the largest populations – decide the presidency for voters in all 50 states. 

But not to worry, is CAIR , a Muslim Brotherhood front who want to destroy America from within, is advising Mr. Obama to use the leverage of U.S. taxpayer funds being sent to Egypt's military to push for a return to "democracy,” which would mean putting President Mohamed Morsi back in office in Egypt.  And Why Won't the Media Cover Huma Abedin's Ties to Global Jihad Movement?

To quote Diana West, "But don't worry. We 'won' the Cold War. Obamacare, here we come. At this rate, we'll declare 'victory' in the so-called war on terror and, before you know it, become a leading outpost of the caliphate."  In the mean time, our nation should also be talking about yet another situation where the American people stand to lose it all.  Decisions, decisions, decisions ....

A Voice of Reason?

DHS taking national security to new lows

by F. Michael Maloof with WND

Just as concern is peaking over the prospect of a catastrophic electromagnetic pulse, or EMP, event from either natural or man-made causes that could cripple the U.S. national electric grid, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has decided to cut back on training for electric utilities to harden their facilities to protect them.

[....] Woolsey said that the national grid, which underlies the nation’s critical infrastructures, has little or no protection.

The former CIA director said that the U.S. in all has 18 critical infrastructures, 17 of which depend on one key infrastructure, the electric grid system.

He said that while the national grid underlies those critical infrastructures that include food and water delivery, transportation, financial services, telecommunications and emergency services, there is little or no protection of the grid.

[....] Because the public utility companies don’t want an increase in price, Woolsey said they spend little on grid security.

No one is in charge of security for the grid,” he said.

The most vulnerable portions of the grid, Woolsey said, are the large transformers which are no longer made in the United States and take extended time to replace even under normal conditions.

In all, he said, there are some 3,000 such large transformers, but the U.S. has in reserve only five percent of the total should replacements be required.

[....] the cost to harden the grid and the nation’s critical infrastructures would amount to no more than $2 billion and even that cost, he added, has gone down to technology advancements.

Woolsey said that the most immediate concern is the EMP effects from the increasing solar storms which are erupting on the surface of the sun, since it is reaching what is termed as a solar storm maximum in its 11-year cycle.

[....] Cooper said that solar storm maximum is reaching its most intense period this year and next.

[....] Pry also warned about a type of EMP device – radio frequency weapons – which easily can be made by terrorists, criminals or “madmen” by going to the Internet and obtaining the needed low-level technology to make it.

He said that such individuals, even acting alone, could place such an RF weapon near industrial facilities, including large transformers and, as with rifle shots, could totally disable a transformer’s vulnerable electronics.

More analyst's notes:

 

An electromagnetic threat is in my opinion the greatest strategic threat we have to this nation ... it can come from nature or by man.  A single electromagnetic pulse could disable the entire United States, destroy America's critical infrastructure and reduce the US to a state of starvation and anarchy overnight. I highly recommend you read The Club-K: A Deadly Pandoras Box of Cruise Missiles  and do an internal site search on the term "Electromagnetic Pulse".  You will also want to read America has AT MOST 33 mins from launch to impact: Then total silence by The Heritage Foundation and A Game-Changing Weapon ... ~90% dead in months

Our government has known about this threat for at least 50 years.  The threat includes more than an enemy with a nuclear bomb and a cheap launching system.  It is also known to include the sun's geomagnetic blast (7% risk in the next 10 years) which could knock out U.S. power.  Valid studies indicate that entire civilizations would likely erode if electric grid went down for whatever the reason." 

There are thought to be solutions to include include mechanical fixes and local self-reliance, but the action must be taken BEFORE one suffers the damage.  Just one "[...] monster blast of geomagnetic particles from the sun could destroy 300 or more of the 2,100 high-voltage transformers that are the backbone of the U.S. electric grid, according to the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). Even a few hundred destroyed transformers could disable the entire interconnected system.The replacement for such transformers (big as a small house and weighing 500,000 pounds) could take years.

We will soon have, as a minimum, China & Iran operating submarines off our coast lines.  Drug cartels are already operating subs off our shores.

A nation-wide Electromagnetic Magnetic Pulse (EMP) attack and attacks against our remaining off-shore oil rigs -- or both simultaneously -- are some of the potential attacks from which our nation must be protected.  This reality, added to our current Administration & Congress, and the potential outcome of their super-committee, is NOT great timing for our national security to be at such risk.  The potential impact is chilling.  We are seeing the growing impact and negative potential of a national defense dependent on "hope" and "change." 

I've not even mentioned the potential impact associated with pipelines on our ocean floor nor our ".... undersea communications cables vulnerable to virtually unstoppable sabotage."  The potential devastation also extends to modern mines and unmanned underwater vehicles.  Please read the entire original article. 

For additional perspective and insight, I recommend an internal site search on the terms of "China","Electromagnetic Pulse"  "Iran", "Oil" and "Stuxnet" I also recommend an internal site search on the term "12th imam".  Please note that The Heritage Foundation is reporting that our federal government is "asleep at the wheel" and done nothing except to ignore this entire critical problem regarding our national security. We further recommend you read The Club-K: A Deadly Pandoras Box of Cruise Missiles  and do an internal site search on the term "Electromagnetic Pulse".  You will also want to read America has AT MOST 33 mins from launch to impact: Then total silence by The Heritage Foundation and A Game-Changing Weapon ... ~90% dead in months
 

Despite what you may think, our federal government is NOT providing for our common defense as required by our U.S. Constitution.  They are have been preparing to do even less.  You owe it to yourself and your children to watch these films. 

Let me get straight to the point.  I am very concerned about the reality of those who planning an electromagnetic pulse attack against this United States.  At this point, we are totally defenseless against such an attack.

While our politicians are "politicking" and spending our tax money and that money coming from our children yet unborn, the ability to essentially "unplug" this nation for an extended period of time and create a new dark age is known to exist.  The only thing that seems to explain their inaction beside their greed and desire for power is either they are scared into inaction or they believe they should simply "... be merry, for tomorrow they die."  In either case, the American people stand to lose it all.  The Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP), of which I'm speaking about here, could come from a naturally occurring solar flare from our sun according to NASA (we've already been known to have one such natural event in the 1800's) -- or according to other multiple sources -- from a single a high-altitude nuclear weapon exploded over the United States. 

Such a weapon could be launched from ship(s) off our shores from a second-rate missile system.   A Russian company is marketing a devastating new cruise missile system which can be hidden inside a shipping container

This is not a newly recognized threat.  We now have Iran building nukes (some experts actually believe they already have 30 to 40 simple nukes -- see BOMBSHELL ALLEGATIONS...), and N. Korea already has them. 

It is estimated that 9 out 10 American would die within a few short months of an EMP attack.  The impact would be almost unbelievable.

We learn the following from U.S. Rep. Roscoe Bartlett, (R- MD) "While one part of the federal government was warning us of possible solar electromagnetic pulse (EMP) damage to our electric grid, a key Senate commission approved a bill to ignore this threat,"  Bartlett has estimated that $100M could do much to save America from such damage.  If we wait till after the fact the cost could be $1 trillion to 2 trillion.
