Obama to leave U.S. vulnerable to EMP attack<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

WASHINGTON \u2013 The Obama administration, on the eve of its transfer of power, is about to impose new standards to protect the nation\u2019s life-sustaining\u00a0electric grid from solar storms.<\/p>\n

However, the new standards by a Democrat-dominated regulatory board, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, will address only solar activities. Pointedly, it will not protect\u00a0the vulnerable national grid from a man-made, high altitude, nuclear detonation that could create an electromagnetic pulse.<\/p>\n

Such an EMP could have a catastrophic impact on the nation\u2019s technology-based, life-sustaining critical infrastructures.<\/p>\n

In an email to WND, William R. Graham, who was director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy and science adviser to President Ronald Reagan, warned that the FERC has scheduled a ruling on Jan. 19 \u2013 the day before Donald Trump is sworn in as the 45th president of the United States \u2013 that is supposed to protect the United States from an EMP.<\/p>\n

However, the FERC\u2019s planned ruling \u201cis likely to have far-ranging, seriously counterproductive national security implications,\u201d according to Graham, who was chairman of the 2008 congressionally mandated EMP Commission<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The commission examined the impact of an EMP on the nation\u2019s critical infrastructures that depend on the national grid system.<\/p>\n

Graham said the FERC\u2019s impending action is inadequate and will have a \u201csignificant near-term impact on our national security, especially in view of recent moves by North Korea to establish an EMP-attack capability with (intercontinental ballistic missiles), nuclear missile-carrying submarines and satellites.\u201d<\/p>\n

Because of the continued threat of an EMP not only from a natural solar storm but also from a man-made high-altitude nuclear detonation, Congress last year renewed the commission in section 1089 of the 2016 National Defense Authorization Act. http:\/\/www.wnd.com\/2017\/01\/obama-to-leave-u-s-vulnerable-to-emp-attack\/#zPU1ksvk6C5Qu9rf.99<\/a><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The USA is vulnerable to electromagnetic issues, either from natural causes or man-made ones. Iran and North Korea, both of whom the incoming president has riled up to a degree, both allegedly have capability that way.<\/p>\n

America unprepared for devastating ‘Black Swan’<\/strong><\/p>\n

September 22, 2015<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON \u2013 Supply-chain disruptions often are the result of adverse weather, unplanned telecom outages, data breaches or even cyber hacking.<\/p>\n

However, the one \u201cBlack Swan\u201d event that would make these instances pale by comparison and result in a cascading disruption is a natural or man-made electromagnetic pulse event.<\/p>\n

A \u201cBlack Swan\u201d is an event regarded at the time of its occurrence as unprecedented and unexpected but later, in hindsight, understood to have been inevitable. …<\/p>\n

Barrett Moore, a security specialist and founder of the security company Triple Canopy, told WND that federal officials have modeled the effects of a \u201cBlack Swan\u201d event on the timely delivery of food, water, fuel, medical care and technology. But they have done it primarily for the government\u2019s benefit. …<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cSeeing potential for large-scale chaos,\u201d Barrett said, \u201cthey have mitigated this risk for themselves by investing hundreds of billions of dollars in a continuity-of-government plan that has overseen the construction, equipping and provisioning of over 100 classified \u2018haven\u2019 facilities accessible only to families and staff of government officials,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo parallel provisions have been made in our country for the general population,\u201d he said. …<\/p>\n

\n

A natural EMP event would be a direct hit on Earth from a massive solar storm, while a man-made EMP would be a high-altitude nuclear bomb burst instigated by any adversarial country with a nuclear weapon and a missile-delivery system.<\/p>\n

Given the level of U.S. unpreparedness, it is estimated that within 12 months of an EMP event, two-thirds to 90 percent of the U.S. population would likely perish from starvation, disease and societal breakdown, according to the Secure the Grid Coalition<\/a>. …<\/p>\n

\n

One of the coalition\u2019s spokesmen is Peter Vincent Pry, who told WND that \u201cpolitical gridlock\u201d in Washington has hindered the implementation of any of a number of cost-effective plans to protect the national electrical grid.<\/p>\n

He said the electric grid is the \u201ckeystone\u201d infrastructure necessary to recover all other critical infrastructures. http:\/\/www.wnd.com\/2015\/09\/america-unprepared-for-devastating-black-swan\/#iF8ffQy0HuOPBAgS.99<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

There are various economic catastrophes including war, famine, and pestilences (Matthew 24:4-8) and troubles (Mark 13:8; Jeremiah 30:7), like debt, that will cause a massive catastrophe in the future. And a man-made downing of the electrical power grid through hacking and\/or an EMP (electromagnetic pulse) event could be one of the coming troubles as I have warned readers for many years.<\/p>\n

An EMP attack could also possibly come from hostile nations, like Iran as it is believed to have that capability. The Bible warns of a deal between the Europeans and those in the Islam-dominated regions of the Middle East and Africa (Psalm 83:2-8). Psalm 83:3 discusses taking “crafty counsel,” which sounds like encouraging terrorist plots. This could involve bombs, dirty bombs, EMP matters, shootings, interfering with the power supply, demonstrations, civil unrest, riots, chemical warfare, biological warfare, cyber-warfare, electrical interference, and other forms of terrorism.<\/p>\n

The USA faces a massive threat from many things that could knock-out its electrical power grid. The USA itself has been developing its own cyber-warfare and EMP technologies), which, of course, also encourages other nations to do so. Plus, the USA is likely to share that technology with Europe.<\/p>\n

Jesus taught of a time of “troubles” that would come in Mark 13. While most in the USA act like it will go on indefinitely and cannot truly be brought down, the reality is that electrical, weather, pestilence, and other events can devastate the USA. I believe a combination of ‘black swan’ events including terrorism, weather issues, debt problems, and crop failures, which are consistent with Jesus’ words in Matthew 24:4-8, etc. will hit the USA and make it vulnerable to its prophesied takeover (cf. Daniel 11:39).<\/p>\n

Are you ready spiritually to deal with what can happen in the USA? Even if you do not live in the USA, consider how its devastation could affect you and the country you are currently living in.<\/p>\n
