The Real Threat EMP Attacks & Solar Flares

What We Know About EMPs • All the information on EMPs is still not 100% understood. • There are only a dozen or so events that help us understand what an EMP or Solar Flare would do to our modern society. • Electronics are damaged, not necessarily all things that use electricity. • If an item is protected while an EMP attack or Solar Flare is happening it will be usable after the event is over.

What are EMPs, HEMPs and Super EMPs? • An EMP is an Electromagnetic Pulse caused by man or naturally. • A Nuclear HEMP is caused by a nuclear warhead exploded in the air 30+ miles up. • Powerful Gamma rays emit from the explosion causing electrical disturbance. • The disturbance is called the Compton Effect and it over charges electrical items. • A Super EMP is a nuclear warhead 5 -10 times stronger than an average nuclear warhead and can do more damage to protected and unprotected items.

What are Solar Flares? • A Solar Flare is an explosion of energy on the surface of the sun releasing electrons, ions and atoms into space. • Earth has a magnetic field around it which protects us from solar radiation. • It typically takes 1 -2 days for solar radiation to reach the earth which gives people time to find out about it and prepare for it. • 23 July 2012 a Super Solar Storm missed the earth by 1 week, if it had hit the earth we would still be trying to get lights turned back on. • NASA gives a 12% chance of a Solar Super Storm happening before 2022.

What Can One Bomb Do? • A single warhead can cause an EMP large enough to cover the entire 48 States, most of Canada and Mexico. • At a blast height of 30 miles it covers a 1, 000 mile diameter across the nation. • At a blast height of 300 miles it covers a 3, 000 mile diameter across the nation. • The Gamma rays overcharge the power grid, transformers, and all electronic devices, rendering them useless. • The more probable event will be 3 low level attacks.

What are the effects of an EMP Nationwide? • Anything that uses a computer or microchip of any sort will fail. • National power grid, transportation, food/fuel/water distribution, communications, health system, media, national defense systems etc. • Mac Salvo, The Prepper Project, June 20, 2011 “Within 30 days a mass die-off will have begun as food supplies dwindle, looters and gangs turn to violent extremes, medicines can’t be restocked, and water pumps fail. ” • EMPs ruin any and all unprotected electronics in line of site of explosion.

Stages of an EMP E 1 – This is the component that will ruin electronics, happens in 5 nanoseconds. • • Gamma radiation knocks electrons out of the atoms in the upper atmosphere. The electrons travel at 269, 813, 212 m/s (90% speed of light) towards earth. Because of the level of detonation the earth’s magnetic field doesn’t stop the radiation. The electrons hit electronics which causes an over charging and short circuits them. E 2 – Happens after E 1 and lasts between 1 microsecond and 1 second. • Acts very similar to lightning in that it can cause protective equipment to fail. • Items like surge protectors, resisters and other protective measures break. E 3 – Happens after E 2 and lasts between 10 to 100’s of seconds. • Acts very similarly to a Geomagnetic Storm like a very severe Solar Storm. • Detrimental to long electrical conductors, power lines, transformers and items connected to the grid.

What Do the Experts Say Will Happen? • Christian Science Monitor Aug. 1, 2014 “According to former CIA Director James Woolsey, ‘Two thirds of the U. S. population would likely perish from starvation, disease and societal breakdown. ’ Other experts (U. S. Army) estimate the likely loss to be closer to 90%. • Joel Skousen Sep. 2014 “An EMP will no doubt happen, and be ready after the EMP because about 10 minutes after that there will be a nuclear strike. Within 7 -10 days after the first EMP another one will be set off as a backup. " • Forbes Magazine July 31, 2014 “We wouldn’t feel it pass through our bodies. The EMP would pass unnoticed as it fried the i. Phones in our pockets, knocked out our telecommunications systems, rendered our cars and communications systems useless, and took out the power grid. We would have nothing that highly evolved, sophisticated society relies on. ”

Nationally Directed Things That Will Fail • National Power grid • Fuel distribution • Transportation/Highways • Airplanes • Food and water supplies • Industrial capacity (work) • Communications • Satellites • Hospital supply/equipment • Yes • No • Yes/No • Yes

Would anyone really attack the US? • Jack Monnett, Sept. 2014 Russia, China, North Korea and Iran have EMP capabilities. They also can give that technology to anyone else who would use it to the givers favor. • Wall Street Journal, Aug. 12, 2014 “China and Russia have considered limited nuclear attack options that, unlike their Cold War plans, employ the electromagnetic pulse as the primary or sole means of attack. ”

An EMP Attack on the US • Voice of America, Aug. 19, 2014 “According to Peter Vincent Pry, Chairman of the Government Sponsored Commission on EMP, ‘North Korea is ready to attempt a strike on the US electric grid using an EMP. North Korea practiced last year when they orbited a satellite at the optimal altitude and trajectory to carry out such an attack. ” (China asked them not to attack) • An EMP Bomb can actually be made for $2, 000

How Are Other Nations Preparing for an EMP • World Net Daily, April 14, 2013. “Russia has made extensive preparations to protect its infrastructure against HEMP by hardening both civilian and military electronic equipment, and by providing continuous training for personnel operating these protected systems. ” • WND. com (World Net Daily) Aug. 11, 2014 “There is an ongoing drill in the Peoples’ Liberation Army to respond to an EMP. In the largest Chinese military drill ever, the Chinese Army highlights its response to EMP caused outages of communications, radar systems, and air defense systems. ”

What is the USA Doing to Prepare for an EMP • William R. Forstchen Ph. D. author of “One Second After” “As to emergency stockpiles of supplies and crucial replacement parts, there is nothing in place. • June 2013 in 113 th Congress S. H. I. E. L. D. Act proposed to protect national power grid from EMP attacks and solar flares, never got passed the introduction to the House.

Electric vs Electronic • Electric devices use electricity to power themselves and cause a reaction such as light or heat. • Electronic devices use electricity as well. They use it to compute, translate, send info or uses circuitry to cause a reaction like doing math on a calculator, heating or lighting.

Common Items That People Protect • • • Walkie Talkies Ham Radios Hard Drives Thumb Drives Power inverters LED anything Red dot sights Digital clocks Battery chargers Key fobs Medical devices Night Vision • Battery operated scopes • GPS • Electronic starters • Generators • Chain saws • Solar panel diodes • Cords with large power adapters • Wheat grinders • Dehydrators etc. • • • Water pumps Blenders Laptops/PCs Cell Phones Calculators DVD/Blu Ray Players TVs Microwaves AM/FM Radios Anything Electronic

What about my car? • The #1 item needed is a new computer (this is for newer cars post 1992 especially) • Other items possibly needed: alternator, starter, timing belt, water pump, spark plugs, spark plug cables, and anything else electronic. • Easy fix is a gasoline vehicle pre-1992 OR Diesel pre-1995 or so, manual transmission is best. • Best choice is vehicle from 1980’s or older.
