EMP MOTHER FUCKER!


Dr. Lowell Wood, the acting chairman of a commission appointed by Congress to study the EMP threat reported that rogue nations such as Iran and North Korea have the capacity to launch undetected, catastrophic EMP attacks on the U.S and are actively developing plans. He said: “These electromagnetic pulses propagate from the burst point of the nuclear weapon to the line of sight on the Earth’s horizon, potentially covering a vast geographic region in doing so simultaneously, moreover, at the speed of light. For example, a nuclear weapon detonated at an altitude of 400 kilometers over the central United States would cover, with its primary electromagnetic pulse, the entire continent of the United States and parts of Canada and Mexico.”

Newt Gingrich referred to the “consensus findings of nine distinguished scientists” who authored the Report of the Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack delivered to Congress on June 22, 2004, saying: “An attack by a single Iranian nuclear missile could have a catastrophic impact upon the United States by causing an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) over a portion of the country. Such an attack could quickly turn a third or more of the United States back to a 19th century level of development. Electrical transformers and switching stations would fail. Without electricity, hospitals would fail, water and sewage systems would fail, gas stations would be unable to provide petroleum, trucks would not be able to distribute food supplies, and essential services would rapidly disintegrate.”

Note that these conclusions were reached long before North Korea successfully demonstrated nuclear capabilities, much less the capability to launch payloads into orbit…which, by the way, means that they can orbit the entire Earth.
