WORLD WAR III Title: Experts Warn Congress: North Korean EMP Would Kill '90% of Americans' -- Consider Nuke First Strike Two EMP experts warned Congress on Thursday that North Korea is capable of executing an EMP attack over the United States which would send the U.S. back to the stone age and would lead to the deaths of 90 percent of all Americans within one year. Chairman Dr. William R. Graham and Chief of Staff Dr. Peter Vincent Pry of the Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack told the Committee on Homeland Security that the U.S. is now facing a doomsday scenario as U.S. intelligence under the Obama administration grossly underestimated the capabilities of North Korea. Former NASA rocket scientist James Oberg visited North Koreas Sohae space launch base, witnessed elaborate measures undertaken to conceal space launch payloads, and concludes in a 2017 article that the EMP threat from North Koreas satellites should be taken seriously: Graham and Pry referenced writing from Ambassador Henry Cooper former Director of the U.S. Strategic Defense Initiative, and a preeminent expert on missile defenses and space weapons who has repeatedly warned U.S. officials about the threat presented by North Korea: Graham and Pry stated the U.S. now faces a serious and potentially imminent threat of a nuclear EMP attack from North Korea and that immediate action is needed: Congress received a variety of solutions for the mid-term and long-term in how they should approach the situation however Graham and Pry did not mince words about what President Donald Trump needs to do, immediately: Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top Page Up Full Thread Page Down Bottom/Latest Begin Trace Mode for Comment # 16.

For less than 50 Billion dollars, the power supply system could be hardened to protect the entire country from an EMP. Sounds like a good deal right? Actually the cost is much lower, I have heard it is in the neighborhood of 10 Billion. Pocket change, no problem you would think. Actually, the estimate is it would cost 3 Billion dollars, yet nothing is being done. Does anyone have the ear of President Trump? This would be a GREAT policy to push.

I agree we should harden the grid, especially the biggest transformer stations. Those things take years to manufacture and install. As we know, they are also quite vulnerable to terrorism and there was at least one dry run at a major transformer station using a deer rifle to hit its coolant tank a few years back.
