The now defunded Congressional EMP Commission published a fascinating, yet overlooked article several months ago that merits further examination.
In a recent article (published before North Korea’s Sept. 2 nuclear test), Dr. William Graham, chairman of the Congressional EMP Commission, warned that North Korea’s two satellites orbiting over the U.S. may pose an EMP threat:
After massive intelligence failures grossly underestimating North Korea’s long-range missile capabilities, number of nuclear weapons, warhead miniaturization, and proximity to an H-Bomb, the biggest North Korean threat to the U.S. remains unacknowledged. North Korea has two satellites in orbit, and more to follow, that could be nuclear-armed for high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack that could blackout North America for months to years, killing millions … This point appears to be beyond the comprehension of most, including secretaries of Defense, the military leadership, and the usual ‘experts’ who appear in the press.
Could there be satellites floating above our heads right now as we speak that might serve to help take down our nation?
The potential loss of our power grid is no small fear. Having 2nd strike nuclear capability will do nothing if North Korea attacks us first and takes out our power grid. Now that is something you’re probably not hearing in the leftist pacifists centered mainstream news.
A U.S. 1st strike attack would kill many North and South Koreans, WHICH WOULD BE TERRIBLE! Do not get me wrong.
However, from an objective nonpartisan standpoint what military move would result in the least amount of deaths?
90% of America – population 324.6 million
North and South Korea – combined population est. 75 million
Tough call. But, you got to keep in mind this is the way those interested with protecting the populous and world at large gotta think.
If North Korea strikes first, 90% of U.S. population potentially wiped out PLUS North and South Korea with our 2nd strike nuclear capabilities.
Who is invested in encouraging the maximum possible loss of life by favoring sanctions and pacifism? And would not they be arguably considered the true sadists in this situation?
Here is a video explaining more about what a loss of our power grid would mean more America.

Dawn Edwards LOL i know the only people directly affected from an emp blast would be grid related then of course you don’t understand that generators like coal and diesel would lock up because the soft electronics would fry but well Diodes can be replaced.. Nuclear compounds would simply force shutdown they are already emp proof. EMP is just an electro pulse. yeah it’s troublesome and it will down a lot of gear but it can be overcomed.. Anarchy will be the problem. the cities will self destruct. which in my opinion is a good thing..lol the outside areas will band together and protect ourselves. Order will come again. But I guess thats just me being a red blooded american who looks at$#%&!@*like this and says bring it.
Do them first
Scare tactics. North Korea doesn’t have this capsbility
Ignorant leftist trash Democrats demons all of them
