#19 The USA has more important tasks to accomplish, like teaching CRT to grade schoolers and locking down its populace to fight COVID while leaving the southern border wide open to every COVID-carrying migrant who chooses to enter the country. |

#15 All the more reason to have an older car with conventional ignition and a carburetor. Old VW Bug is just about bomb-proof and can be maintained with minimal tools. I had one and kept it running with a basic tool kit, a few spares, and JBWeld. |

#13 (Very carefully considers his comments.) ...A dear friend and mentor who was a strategic analyst (lost him last Christmas to the goddamned COVID) was once asked about imminent threats like EMP and smuggled-in bombs, which would be 'so easy to use and utterly defeat us.' I've never forgotten his answer. He just contemplated his reply for a moment and then said, "If it's so easy to do, is so decisive, and can create so much damage...why hasn't it already been done?"

#12 Note: you can bulid a simple small emp proof container using a small all metal trash can, 2x cans of flex seal, a cooper car jumper cable and cooper ground rod....plus some extras for under $100. That hold 2 laptops, a bag flash drives, a 400watt fold up solar panel and 5amp 12vdc litium battery..etc.. It fact there several youtube videos and back-channel plans you can google.But to what avail? |

#11 given that Pentagon strategists regularly develop plans to invade Canada and Montenegro, what odds that they have not quietly developed several plans for EMP attacks on various countries Just so you know, that long since the 80s, the services have spent a good amount of dollars on making their tactical equipment EMP proof. It's a contributory reasons why some equipment is far more expensive than their civilian counterparts and why some things are not bought off the shelf. There was a EMP testing rig in New Mexico with a huge wooden platform and a cloud of wiring above to generate a pulse. How big a platform, at least large enough to accommodate a 747. |

#10 At the very least, we need to stop relying on transformers made in China with built-in backdoors. But I think that's racist or something. |

#3 According to the editorialist, the Axis of Evil (remember them?) and Russia all have plans for EMP attacks, this generation’s kewl new technique to win the war in one easy step. And also, according to the editorialist, the U.S. has only published an assessment of what it would take to harden the nation’s infrastructure against such an attack, but has done nothing concrete to achieve it. But 1) given that Pentagon strategists regularly develop plans to invade Canada and Montenegro, what odds that they have not quietly developed several plans for EMP attacks on various countries, and 2) where is the evidence that any other countries have done anything to harden their infrastructure against such an attack? |

#1 Cause we don't have adult supervision anymore. It's all about preening and social flashing rather than doing the hard stuff. |
