Military Warns About Vulnerability That Could Wipe Out America 

Military Warns About Vulnerability That Could Wipe Out America

The United States military has just released a rather frightful 2018 report titled, “Electromagnetic Defense Task Force” warning the nation that an electromagnetic pulse weapon attack such as those developed by North Korea, Russia, and Iran could effectively wipe out our country.

An Electromagnetic Pulse is a short burst of energy that has the ability to completely fry any and all electronics and can be brought about by a exploding a nuclear device at high altitude (North Korea is capable of doing this right now) or even just by a solar flare.  A cyber attack or simple physical assault could also take down our highly vulnerable grid.
Such an event would send us all back to the stone age as every single electronic device, including the power grid, would be completely destroyed.

Experts warn that such an event would kill off 90% of the population within a year’s time. Of course, should such an event occur America would likely be invaded and many of the sleeper agents embedded in our country would seize upon the opportunity to attack.
It is quite a sobering fact that our country has done little to protect us against his very real threat. Turn the page for details on the new report.
One would think that if our country had a vulnerability that gave any country with a satellite and a nuke the ability to kill off 90% of the U.S. population that we would work around the clock to neutralize it. Such a threat does in fact exist and has for quite some time, it’s called an EMP attack.
Not only are Russia and China are very capable of carrying out such an attack, but smaller countries such as North Korea and Iran are as well. A secret Iranian military playbook was discovered calling for such an attack.

In order for Iran to carry out an EMP attack they would need a nuclear weapon, a missile capable of achieving the necessary altitude, anywhere from 25 to 250 miles above the Earth’s surface, and a platform to launch it.

Iran has at least 2 of these in place.
Navy Vice Admiral James Syring states that North Korea and Iran could achieve the ability to launch an intercontinental ballistic missile as early as this year.
But Iran doesn’t really need a such a long range missile. A successful EMP attack could be carried out with a cheap missile launched from a freighter in international waters. A missile could also be launched off of one of their satellites.
“We are ready for the decisive battle against the U.S. and the Zionist regime,” announced Iranian Armed Forces Chief of Staff General Hassan Firouzabadi in 2014.
Republicans in Congress have repeatedly tried to pass the SHIELD Act, by Rep. Trent Franks. According to a 2008 EMP Commission estimate, it would cost only around $2 billion to protect our national electric grid.

The U.S. military has issued a warning to Americans about a very real threat to our nation in the form of a report titled “Electromagnetic Defense Task Force.” It is time for our country to do something about this!

“Based on the totality of available data,” said the report from the Air Force’s Air University and provided to Secrets, “an electromagnetic spectrum attack may be a threat to the United States, democracy, and the world order.”
The report, titled, “Electromagnetic Defense Task Force,” and the product of a mostly classified summit of officials from 40 agencies just outside of Washington earlier this year, is a forceful call for a new focus on preparing for either an enemy EMP attack or a natural hit such as a solar storm

While it is focused on the devastating impact an EMP hit would have on the military, it appears to support a congressional warning that up to 90 percent of the population on the East Coast would die in a year of an attack that would dismantle or interfere with electricity, transportation, food processing, and healthcare.
Consider just some of the warnings in the report from the United States Air Force Air University and the Curtis E. LeMay Center for Doctrine Development and Education. Citing figures from the Union of Concerned Scientists, the report:
99 nuclear reactors would likely melt down without electricity to cool them.
4.1 million would be displaced from areas around the nuclear plants as the radioactive cloud spread.
Military and commercial jets, such as those built by Airbus, could be degraded. “Alarmingly, aircraft designed to carry large numbers of people and sizable cargo are allowed to operate without certainty about their level of resilience.”
Bases would be cut off, making defense and counter-attacks impossible.
Civil unrest would start in “hours.”
Power and GPS could go dark. “An EMP would cause instantaneous and simultaneous loss of many technologies reliant on electrical power and computer circuit boards, such as cell phones and GPS devices.”
“Failures may include long-term loss of electrical power (due to loss of emergency generators), sewage, fresh water, banking, landlines, cellular service, vehicles.”
18 months or more are required to replace key elements of the electric grid that would be damaged or knocked out.
Figuring out just which country launched an attack would be difficult since certain weapons could be delivered in a satellite.
It also noted the development of the 5G mobile network and how it will run communications and why it must be protected, especially since China is the biggest investor in its development.
“Because control of 5G is roughly equivalent to control of the Internet, open 5G is critical to freedom and free-market economics. Meanwhile, access to the 5G-millimeter wave bandwidth will be critical to operations in all war-fighting domains, in particular, space command & control,” said the white paper.
Lt. Gen. Steven Kwast, the commander of Air Education and Training Command, said, “As electromagnetic technologies fuse in new and often dangerous ways, it’s critical that the military and industry make honest evaluations of present and future conflict states to ensure we’re proactive rather than reactive.”
