The irony of Balco's EMP warnings

[Stroppier Milk]

Has anyone ever pointed out that if Balco was/is ever right about that-- he'll n ever get to post about it?

[milwaukee mike]

that's true

 

i am part of the "they're out to get us" crowd but why would anyone want to kill their slaves?

 

they want us to keep running the rat race and buying their cheese without questioning why 

[plommer]

Wisconsin guy with a cheesy analogy.

both Islam and Christianity believe in the destruction of the USA. so if you believe in God then you believe this will happen. biggest clue is ISIS-RUSSIA in syria and the oldest standing city in the world being key in bible prophecy

 

Damascus, Syria, and Isaiah 17  

Damascus, Syria, and Isaiah 17
By Chris Schang

One of most intriguing Bible prophecies in the end times has to do with Isaiah 17. The prophecies in Isaiah 17 point to the end times destruction of Damascus, Syria. The Bible states that the destruction of Damascus will be so great that the city will be nothing but a "ruinous heap" after the fulfillment of the ancient prophecy. This is noteworthy because presently the city is recognized as the world's longest constantly inhabited city. The utter destruction of Damascus will be an event that only the sovereign Lord could have predicted, yet he warns in Isaiah 17 that Damascus does have a date with destiny in the near prophetic future:

 

Isa 17:1

 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from [being] a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

destruction of the usa is inevitable... anyone wonder why we have such a population of scumbags?  intentional

 

even with more incarcerated people than china (even though they have more than 1 billion people) we still have large portions of every city that are so violent they are unlivable

[plommer]

 

both Islam and Christianity believe in the destruction of the USA. 

 

 

Pretty sure neither does, pal.

 

USA is hated by many countries for valid reasons. Most have zero to do with religion.

 

Has more to do with the US furthering financial interests by exploiting and bullying poorer nations.

lol. I've read enough emp threads to last me a lifetime. thx balco you prick.

This is a very negative way to look at things Mike. Go outside and get some fresh air pal.

As the Obama administration finds more ways to subsidize the greening of America, Washington has done virtually nothing to prevent the nation from going dark, possibly for months, in the event of a man-made or natural electromagnetic pulse (EMP).

 

This, despite findings in 2004 from the Congressional EMP Commission that just such an event — whether a high-altitude detonation of a nuclear weapon or a geomagnetic superstorm caused by the sun — could lead to societal collapse, warns former CIA Director R. James Woolsey in congressional testimony.

 

Even “a primitive, low-yield atomic bomb” from terrorists could disrupt communication, transportation, banking, food and water, according to Mr. Woolsey, who served as CIA director under President Clinton.

 

And he's far from alone.

 

A study by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission found that an EMP that knocks out nine key transformer substations could cause a nationwide blackout — for 18 months.

 

Plans to protect all critical infrastructure from an EMP, nuclear or otherwise, range in cost from $10 billion to $20 billion, according to a Congressional EMP Commission estimate. “Unfortunately none of these plans has been implemented,” Woolsey said.

 

More important to America's future security than the theoretical threat from man-made global warming are the chilling realities from a nation-crippling EMP.

[Balco]

Dangers: President Obama claims there's "no greater threat" than global warming. But a new report says the real threat comes from solar storms, or worse, an electromagnetic-pulse attack from a foreign enemy like Iran.

While the administration cracks down on "carbon polluters," it's done virtually nothing to protect the nation from the techno-apocalypse that could result from space weather or an EMP weapon.

 

Either event could fry the copper windings in electrical transformers and knock out power grids long enough to send nuclear reactors into meltdown, warns a forthcoming report — "Electromagnetic Pulse and Space Weather and the Strategic Threat to America's Nuclear Power Stations" — by the American Leadership & Policy Foundation, an independent think tank.

"After exhaustive research on this topic we found that in the wake of an EMP or space weather event, the U.S. — home to 99 nuclear stations and 31 research reactors — faces simultaneous meltdown of these facilities, in some scenarios, in as little as 30 minutes," ALPF Chairman David Stuckenberg told IBD.

"Due to the present safety infrastructure, most plants will have seven days until core meltdown from a lack of power and essential cooling functions," Stuckenberg added.

The alarming study, which will be published in the Harvard National Security Journal later this month, found that the assumptions used to inform Washington leaders that nuclear power is safe from EMP and space weather effects are dead wrong.

 

"Once these facilities release plumes, they will contaminate states and regions with harmful radioactive isotopes," Stuckenberg said. "Fukushima released a plume that brought the West Coast within 0.5 rem of the national threshold — and that was 5,000 miles upwind."

Multiple Japanese reactors went into meltdown after being hit by a huge tsunami in 2011. Hawaii, which was in the fallout path, has reported a spike in birth defects over the past three years.

"Japan was 5,400 miles from California. After Fukushima, the president almost broke into the national stock pile of potassium iodine. The threshold was within 0.5 rem of that disaster, creating a national crisis in the U.S.," Stuckenberg said. "So (an adverse health) correlation in Hawaii is not out of the question."

A far worse scenario playing out across the continent isn't far-fetched.

In 2012, a massive sun flare, known as a coronal mass ejection, blasted through Earth's orbit around the sun and narrowly missed us. Arguably more concerning is an EMP Pearl Harbor from a primitive, low-yield atomic bomb detonated in our atmosphere.

The Iranian military already has an EMP attack on America in its military planning. Such an attack could cause a simultaneous meltdown of our nuclear plants, producing radioactive fallout equal to 100 Fukushimas.

In fact, a recently translated Iranian military document describes an EMP attack on America in 20 places.

North Korea is also threatening us with cybergeddon.

A successful EMP attack would knock out power grids long enough that the supply of fuel for emergency generators that nuclear plants keep on site would be exhausted.

The 59-page ALPF report recommends the Nuclear Regulatory Commission devise a plan to protect plants by stockpiling diesel fuel for emergency backup generators.

Moreover, America's electricity-dependent economy would be devastated. Such a shutdown would have not only incalculable economic costs, but enormous social costs and perhaps mass unrest as well.

Defending against an EMP attack would cost less than what we send to Pakistan each year: $2 billion.

It seems like a reasonable investment, given the potential risk.

And it's far less than the costly, unnecessary and economically disastrous "climate change" subsidies and regulations Obama is putting in place.

You still can only die once and the dead are never paranoid.

[Balco]

Those last two are current news. Global warming??? Oh boy!

[Balco]

You still can only die once and the dead are never paranoid.

Plommer do you have a fall out shelter?

[plommer]

Plommer do you have a fall out shelter?

 

 

No, I really don't mind if I die and that gives me tremendous freedom from fear and caring about life's bullshit.

 

Death = relief, pal.

 

 

Never met a dead person that complained either.

[Balco]

No, I really don't mind if I die.

 

Death = relief, pal.

I'm with you, but worry about my kids.

[plommer]

I'm with you, but worry about my kids.

 

 

Deaths kindness is available to all.

 

Death is freedom, thinking about death - not so much.

[Balco]

No suffering and a quick death. EMP will including suffering unless you do yourself in.

reading about emp seems like its not the real deal. just another scare tactic. 

 

There are non nuclear EMP devices specially made for the task that can blow a laptop fairly easily. The problem? Limited range, and interference from weather. Under ideal circumstances the absolute best EMP weapon America has can fry electronics out to two miles. But if it is raining, the kill range drops to a maximum of 600 yards. The movie "The Matrix" actually got this right. They had to wait for the sentinels to get very close before their EMP weapon would kill them. EMP weapons that can actually blow modern electronics have an extremely limited range (the laws of physics clearly state this has to be the case because of the cubed function of attenuation over distance) and this was shown very well in The Matrix. These high frequency EMP weapons that actually can fry modern electronics have nothing at all in common with nuclear weapons.

 

I threw this in at the end here because shills will no doubt point this out, and then say I am B.S. about the nukes. The difference? Modern EMP weapons put out a frequency no lower than 2,500,000,000 hz. A nuke? If a nuke exceeds 500,000 hz it hit a high frequency for a nuke. Now count the zeros. How many orders of magnitude difference is there between the two?
