EMP... ElectroMagnetic Pulse... Attack?

An ElectroMagnetic Pulse (EMP) attack would put us back into the 1800's... Are You Ready?...

I really am not a conspiracy theorist or an alarmist.  I don't spend my time "planning" and "prepping" for the "Big One"... But.. having said that.. I am a firm believer in being prepared for any negative event.. big or small that would disrupt your daily life and routine...

We should always be able to take care of ourselves and our loved ones in the event that we loose our means of income and ability to maintain our basic physical and mental needs.  This means having enough food and water and shelter to last out any such given event.

This could be from a simple lose of job to a major accident that renders you unable to work, all the way to a major natural disaster that interrupts the power and food supply...  from tornados to hurricanes.. Earthquakes.. floods and wild fires.. These things are real.. and happen EVERYDAY... you never know when or where it will happen next...

But, lately I have been reading about another threat that is as real as the next tornado in Kansas or Texas... and it is an Electromagnetic pulse attack (EMP).  

What that is, is this:  


"An electromagnetic pulse (EMP), also sometimes called a transient electromagnetic disturbance, is a short burst of electromagnetic energy. Such a pulse may occur in the form of a radiated electric or magnetic field or conducted electrical current depending on the source, and may be natural or man-made.

EMP interference is generally damaging to electronic equipment, and at higher energy levels a powerful EMP event such as a lightning strike can damage physical objects such as buildings and aircraft structures. The management of EMP effects is an important branch of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) engineering.

The damaging effects of high-energy EMP have been used to create EMP weapons. These are typically divided into nuclear and non-nuclear devices. Such weapons,... have gained traction in popular culture"

This is an excerpt from Wikipedia... 

Lets put this a little bit into perspective.  Watch this video:

"The information comes from Lt. General Daniel Graham and Ambassador Henry Cooper, both experts on missile defense who advised and worked with President Ronald Reagan. It is very concerning that their view on how an EMP might be used as a threat against America matches with the development and rhetoric of both North Korea and Iran. We are not making claim that there will be an EMP attack, but we have spoken with top people in the current Administration as well as the larger defense and intelligence establishment who have validated that this is a serious issue and risk. Fortunately, some have been working to address the risk."  an excerpt from the 'Global Economic Warfare' web site .

This is a real issue that we need to address this at the highest governmental levels... but.. you and I as average citizens should be aware of this threat and be prepared as well.

Being prepared does not make you a "Prepper" or a "Survivalist" per say.. but being prepared is simply being able to take care of yourself and your loved ones in the event of a disaster.  EMP is only one type of disaster that could happen.  The Question is this... "Are You Ready?"
