About two weeks ago, there was a meeting by the U.S. House of Representatives’ House Armed Services Committee on receiving the latest report from the Congressional EMP commission. A friend of mine attended and said: “Of the 19 Congressmen who were present, most believe this is a real and growing threat.”
The last executive report of that commission I can find is from 2004. Warfare using EMP munitions or new geophysical munitions is a reality that should be understood. These types of bombs can really damage the overall economy by destroying the infrastructure as well as the virtual electronic platform it provides for regional economic development.
EMP (electromagnetic pulse) bombs have been viewed as a real threat since the Cold War. The reality of their development and use is being studied very carefully. It’s not just a weapon for a superpower. It can be something that could be developed and used by a rogue nation, too. Here’s the view of EMP warfare from one recent article:
“What is different now is that some potential sources of EMP threats are difficult to deter. They can be terrorist groups that have no state identity, have only one or a few weapons and are motivated to attack the U.S. without regard for their own safety,” explains a report from the [Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse].“Rogue states – such as North Korea and Iran – may also be developing the capability to pose an EMP threat to the United States and may also be unpredictable and difficult to deter.”
All an EMP has to do to cause an electronic pulse is be launched by rocket into the atmosphere 20 to 150 miles in the air and be detonated above the Earth. That pulse would cripple electronics that aren’t shielded from this type of blast. There is no need for sophisticated pinpoint accuracy or GPS-based smart-bomb technology.
Think of an umbrella covering the U.S., and within that umbrella of a blast, the electronics underneath that umbrella would be fried and rendered useless. This type of bomb could throw our whole economy back 500 years.
Put Global Warming Aside
There’s a lot of discussion about the effects of global warming. Many have said it’s junk science hyped to the max. There’s enough controversy and counter explanations to create a lot of doubt if not total skepticism on the whole concept.
On the other hand, the development and use of geophysical weapons is a reality that many have don’t plan for or even fathom. What is a geophysical weapon? This is from a Russian journal:
Geophysical weapons are essentially based on the manipulation of processes that occur in the Earth’s crust – and its liquid and gaseous mantle – for military purposes. An atmospheric layer lying at an altitude of 10 to 60 kilometers is of special importance for this kind of warfare.
When you start looking at the impact of an EMP bomb, you can write off any critical infrastructure like power grids and telecom networks that haven’t been hardened to be resilient from an attack. This should be a concern of every carrier, power utility municipality and company utilizing a data center for their mission-critical applications.
What about geophysical bombs related to EMP bombs? What about a system that can change weather?
Nature or a New Ozone Weapon?
To all the water-cooler experts out there, when you talk about global warming what scientific evidence are you really quoting? Are you just parroting what you heard from an activist Hollywood type who really doesn’t know a Hemi from a hybrid?
What if global warming is really some testing of a next-generation weapon? Is that too far-fetched? What is the framework of your perspective? Here is mine. From the same article that was translated from a Russian journal, there are some interesting revelations:
The so-called “ozone weapon” is [one type] of geophysical weaponry [that] is an assortment of means designed for damaging the ozone layer over an enemy. The damage can be done by using rockets loaded with Freon.The explosion of such rockets in the ozone layer will produce several “windows” in it and thus create conditions for ultraviolet rays of the sun to penetrate Earth’s surface. The ultraviolet rays are highly detrimental to the cell structure of live organisms [and] especially to their hereditary systems.
As a result, the incidence of cancer will go up dramatically. Depleting ozone will bring about lower mean temperatures and increase humidity, which is especially dangerous for areas of unsustainable agriculture.
This whole article is very eye-opening. Maybe you don’t have to buy that hybrid after all. It’s not global warming. Perhaps it’s a weaponry test.
EMP Attack Would Make Sept. 11, 2001 Look Insignificant
While it’s hard to fathom that statement, it would be accurate.
An EMP bomb would create a much more extensive crippling than what the Sept. 11, 2001attack delivered. Nearly anything electronic would be shut down. This is something to think about when looking at developing or rebuilding the power and telecom infrastructure for new applications within a major city or region.
Carlinism: Significant results can be achieve from very determined people.
