- This is a growing concern for many of us as our country continues to shift towards becoming reliant on the Green Initiative and the Green New Deal. Are we missing anything? Maybe, but we are also giving up many values that our own country possesses or could possess, which leads to less control in the United States. If an EMP attack were to occur, do you think Americans are ready to combat it?

What happens if a sun's EMP hits the US and such "experts" interprete it as a foreign attack? It did happen in the 80's to a good portion of Canada, leaving 8 mil. without electricity for months.
This guy talks straight out of his ass so much. We don't need to use a Nuke to emp, we can just emp now. Setting off a nuke in the air to accomplish this would be as smart as setting off chemical weapons.
💯 percent DISAGREE.
US is the model for attack.
Heavily dependent on sensitive hardware, in every facet of life, which is vulnerable to this specific form of attack.
- Failing electrical grid.
- Electric vehicles.
- Unshielded systems, nationwide.
- Unshielded communications.
- Cloud-based infrastructures.
- List goes on and on.
Massive disruptions in medical services, prescriptions, transportation, looting, killing, release of inmates and plain absolute chaos.
You both are 💯 WRONG.... Miliary bases are NOT shielded. Not even close.
Sites like NORAD, yes.
Jesus, fiber is connected to hardware. Ethernet connected to hardware.
Anything not surrounded by a faraday cage = FRIED.
Wrap this up for 'crayon man', it doesn't need to be by flying projectile.... Think low orbit, nuclear powered
F*ck, CIA hire my ass for consultancy 🔥
GAME. SET. MATCH.
The sun can also do an EMP.. solar flare, cme...
There’s only 22 million people in ukraine
Been thinking about these since I was a 12 year old kid playing Modern Warfare 2 (2009). In the campaign America gets hit with an EMP. Every year after that I’ve realized how desperately reliant upon tech we all are. Do all you can to be self sufficient.
Felt that way when the power went out for a week
Thanks Obama
I am. No wifi, no internet, growing the food I can and a portable water filter .
@@Ready2_Go No internet? But... you posted a comment on TH-cam?
Imagine a Carrington event in this days, we are very much fucked.
EMP is the most terrifying scenario to me. In a moment you go back to the 1800's. Ten's of millions would die within months.
Imagine all those kids without a phone? Unable to tweet, message, snapchat, selfie. Gen Z would die in a day
@@hondomclean6759 🤣 remember rotary telephones and cb radios?👍
You are correct, and the VAST majority are incapable of surviving without the "just on time" system we have. Not many would have the stomach to kill and animal and prepare it to eat, much less even know how to locate them. The cities would be a disaster and the criminals would take over within a week, you think many officers would go out in lieu of staying home to protect their families? Yeah, not a good scenario but a possibility none-the-less, not highly probable but possible.

We DO have a common enemy: Klaus Schwab et al who say that by 2030 we will own nothing and we will be happy. Really?!!! Anyone paying attention???
You right about that one buddy....fuck communism.
If that's a real future, I guess the path is like: single digital currency worldwide => every penny of digital wealth has its expiry date => digital wealth renamed as credits => breaking laws or local rules may lead to deductions of your credits
Fuck automation fuck AI
Except he didn't say it the way you think he did , even though that's whatever fake b.s. you get your info from says. it was said summarising an essay written by Danish politician Ida Auken. If you had even the slightest bit of intelligence you could have found that out in 5 seconds ........
@@panamacoushatta5000 you know, your comment made me realize the obvious: Schwab, Fink and the like are pushing purely communist ideals on the public. they're capitalists - how could they push communist ideas? capitalist/fascist soulless efficiency for them : communist gulag/prison planet for us.
The wef got together and talked about what they would do if there was a global pandemic right before there was a global pandemic. Their next meeting they talked about what to do if there were a global cyber sttack, so...
We had a balloon float across the entire country. I dont think an emp would be to far reaching
Exactly
Right, while 7 days past before being shot down! Us Americans need to stay vigilant at all times!!
They could have had a EMP device on that ballon and when it got too just the right GPS location had the balloon dump ballast and shoot straight up to optimum detonation altitude and done the deed.
The thing is t hat an EMP weapon is the first strike in modern warfare.
It knocks out command and communications over a wide area.
This is followed minutes later by attacks on high value military targets. Most likely using nukes.
I think that cyber attacks on the power grid are likely to happen but these will just be part of the asymmetrical warfare that is going on right now.
Possibly designed to destroy the food in people's freezers and demoralize the people.
E MP Will damage cars and cellphones a cyber attack will not.
The EMP may be the only early warning you get of nukes inbound.
the balloon was just to show how vulnerable we are , and how china and russia is our enemy , and dirty commies must be avoided from entering our diplomacy
North Korea has kms-3 and kms-4 , two EMP weapons
Could be used to completely destroy the entire US grid , 90% of all Americans would die per the US Pentagon inside of 6 months
Or you could take out the right 6-7 transformers , kinetically, the US grid would be down for several years , because that's how long new transformers take to manufacture
Go read " Raven Rock " and realize the US has done basically done nothing to protect it's populace from nuclear war , except for so called " elites " , whereas Russia and China have fallout shelters for approximately their entire population
Anybody else remember the Grid failure in the northeast in August of 2003? Blackout for New York City people couldn't pay for things because card readers were down, People stuck in elevators, and water stopped flowing in places. The reason I bring that up is that it was good preview for an EMP. The other reason is that in the 20 years since that occurred, the amount of technology that the average person uses on a regular basis has skyrocketed. The telephone system was independent of the power system and internet, that is no longer the case due to VOIP and the massive cell phone usage.
my point is that our society has become more, not less dependent on power and decidedly more dependent on the internet to do things
Yes my friend, I was there, 2003, 4.10pm in a hot August day. From the Upper West Side, I drove my motorbike down Broadway and the view at Time Square was surreal with all the lights and billboards off. Amazing! A one in a lifetime experience.
Luckily power came back at 6.30am the next day but I can't stop thinking what if it had lasted longer...😎😎😎
Also more stupidity about skills needed to live without it.
If people would learn the life skills of OLD ORDER AMISH . They would live just fine in modern society. OLD ORDER AMISH don't as a rule have electricity or anything that requires it. And knows how to get around using it. We need to skills an items that people had in 1850s to LIVE AS IF ELECTRICITY NEVER EXISTED. that means more skills more labor and doing for yourself instead of stealing cheating or bribes. Have some honor and grow your own food learn to clean water and BOIL IT FOR 30 MINUTES. chop your firewood and learn to cook a real meal over an open fire. Sit down as a family and read the Bible. Learn to follow it. STOP HAVING SEX OUTSIDE OF MARRIAGE. and watch how you treat others. It counts on the judgement seat.
I remember it. I was in Long Beach NY. My Nextel was able to direct connect, which is why I think they phased those out. Can’t have the general population being able to communicate freely.
The EMP would not only take down the grid, it would fry all unprotected electronics. So even if you get the power back up, you have nothing for the electricity to run.
This is why I have a solar powered generator. You can put flashlights, hand held crank radios & other electronics in a faraday cage also. Also have a water filtration system. Easier to prepare before you need something.
Get battery operated fans and a lot of batteries cuz summer will be brutal.
I agree with Shawn, I think we’re too divided to lock arms and work together towards a common enemy
the liberals will never lock arms
@brad4231, I will lock arms with even your dirty, hairy arm. 👀😬
Seriously, you are wrong. Humans have shown, in theory, event, history, and research, that a common enemy will out petty differences every single time, for those who have a common heritage base, like a community, a religion, or a nation. This is why they isolate and disenfranchise us from each other. Believe me, there is nothing more petty than an internet learned Wokey. For they are reminded in daily lies they have no family, community, or nation. But, even a Wokey will remember their home base, even as the whole nation gets bullied to its knees.
Sadly, most folks will sit and watch themselves and their children be culled in front of them. Not because of fundamental differences that separate them ideologically from others, but rather from generalized chaos, the lack of warning and information (so lack of Autonomy), and the presence of the enemy giving lying instructions to submit. "Submit and live. Rebel and die" is a strong, hope filled notion, especially to parents, especially to the consumer of comfort.
Don't allow yourself and your family to get "comfy and cozy in daily plenty."
Luckily, it only takes a fraction of the populace to carry the day to oust the enemy and organize humanitarian relief for the sheeple masses. God bless heros. God bless 2A.
I am not a hero, and I will pass with none of you ever hearing of me. Yet, fame matters not, for I am a Child of God, just as you are, and it is He who notes the cruel courage stripes upon my back, placed there by lawlessness and wickedness.
And it is He who sets me free and sets me down beside Him. I praise Him who witnesses the worth of me, as though my life were worth a perfect Hallelujah (this word means "praise God"). Yet, to you, I am forgotten. I am forgotten.
I am 1 of billions of humans who have marched before me in life; and I am 1 of billions who will march after me in life; and yet, I matter.
I am a tiny forgotten thing. But to my Lord, Christ Jesus, I am precious. For he was but mortal man himself; and yet, you and I remember His worth. He lived far fewer years than I have survived. Yet, the world heralds Him as King.
He called himself "The Son of man," not the 'Son of God." You know why? Because many had before Him declared themselves "son of god." He was made a flesh man in order to be us, to experience the painful human condition, to save us, the insignificant, the persecuted, beaten, dead, and forgotten human. Uniquely thus, He is the Son of Man.
For me, He saved me. Saved me, someone who is lowly, nothing more than an unnoticed, rejected human in a sea mass of humans. He looks me in the eye, and He sees me. He sees YOU. Do not question that glory; do not reject that fulfillment. It belongs to Him, and He gave it away freely to you. "It" is salvation. Care for It, as It is yours.
Hallelujah.
Amen.
Yep, it would be wise to trust no one in today
Then I think you have as little grasp on the foreign policy of the USA, regardless who is in power. Try reading more about international relations and behavior by the USA, from trustworthy sources, such as Information Clearing House, The Chris Hedges Report, Consortium News, Mondoweiss, The Electric Intifada, and many others.
@@beingsentient why don’t you just tell me to think exactly like you do. That’s what you want, right? Too cowardly to accept that grown men can have their own opinions that differ from your own?

Good to see Colin Kaepernick has found work

You need to get your eyes checked boy
Leave him alone it was funny
No matter how noble you are, when you’re dying for food or water, you’ll die trying to get it. You don’t need to be a CIA spy to understand that.
There will be plenty of people who remain noble throughout any tribulations, it's just very likely it won't be us. That's the modern view of virtue. That it only exists because of circumstance. Change the circumstance and virtue disappears. For some, yes, but it's very humbling when you realize that there are people who would be good under any circumstances. We should strive to be those people. If it leads to death, so be it.
In an uprising due to lack of food and water the first people the revolution should visit are the richest people.
@@damienholland8103 rich people are gonna be just as fucked as anyone else. vast majority of folks are not ready
@@damienholland8103 They will be the first to be taken care of.. They should fear this and hope it never happens... Ive been saying for years, entertainment and care for our families is the only reason there hasn't been a major uprising for how everything as been handled for the past 100 years in Washington.. When people cannot get their entertainment, food to provide, and jobless, there will be hell to pay and everyone will be on board for it!
Side note, when you see the rich and elite start disappearing to say Greenland or somewhere off the USA mainland, get ready... They know something we don't.
Real informative interview. Thanks
One thing a lot of people don't think about also, is the timing of a EMP attack. It will most likely happen during the winter times, when people won't be able to go out and plant their own crops or generate enough heat to keep themselves warm in the cities. Also, you wouldn't have to detonate above a city, just in the area of where the electrical supply to that city is. Most of the really big cities these days, the disruption of the electrical grid is all you would need. The inner-city people that are continuously voting against the needs of the people in the rural areas, will be looking to the rural areas for help.
Edit: A nuke used to cause an EMP would take out any and ALL so called "green, renewable" energy supplies, as all wind turbines and solar farms are electrically fried.
And at night. But it's the 12million Muslims in this country with 30+training camps that will strike first...
And it'll be soon...
i wouldn't help the city people ..lol..
Yup
What you may not know is for at least 30 yrs in Detroit,indoor hydroponic gardening in attics and basements with grow lights is commonplace.Some also use soil in in 5 gallon buckets in apartments with terraces that get plenty of sun and water.You can harvest as needed. Some of us are into canning meats,vegetables when stored properly can last 3 to 5 years. So Be Prepared like the Old school Boy Scouts,and you won't have to worry about winter.Stock up on propane in the summer and have two reliable propane Heater/stoves.
You are 1000% CORRECT
Personally I think an EMP would significantly divide society even more than it already is. Hunger, confusion, fear, thirst, no Internet, etc would cause chaos. Just look at how animalistic people get on Black Friday, or when toilet paper was scarce in 2020. Common enemies can bring people together, but in the scenario discussed. It'd be mayhem and unimaginably brutal.
Yep 100%. If people do these things when the tree is green.. what will they do when it is barren?
I don't think it's a matter of opinion. You are absolutely correct that a societal breakdown the likes of which few could imagine possible would commence on Day 2.
Don’t worry the supermarket will always have food. You know food come from there no where else 😅
That wouldn't change satellite internet also towers are shielded from emps
No Internet?!!
William Forstchen was contracted by the Pentagon to do an extensive study on the effects of a large EMP detonating several hundred miles over the center of the USA. He was very disturbed by what he discovered in the course of his research, and wrote a series of books called One Second After based on his research.
That book was one of the scariest things I've ever read. Made me physically nauseous at some points.
@@Doug-oh2jy then use it as motivation to prepare.
@@chuckking6917 WAY past the beginning stages. I read it almost 15 years ago

Jericho, a 2007 CBS series, was about a small town in the midwest that survives a nuclear and EMP attack on the US. Great show, with the guy who plays Morgan on TWD as a badass undercover FBI agent
That show was awesome. Was bummed when it wasn’t renewed. Realistic look at what life could be like in the aftermath.
A great show
Definitely, I was so upset that they never tied up the story and cancelled the show.
Yes was takin down to realistic
It was a good show but it definitely wasn't realistic at all lmao. Half the show was some genetic love triangle BS and the other half was magically surviving with plot armor. The premise was good don't get me wrong it was a cool show but it was also so wonky campy and absolute BS lol.
"We need a common enemy, and our administration knows it" Exactly. Our own government is as likely to use an EMP on us as any foreign power for that very reason.
Our government is our enemy. You said it correct!

The irony of espousing a double agent for the CIA, a man that literally knows fk all beyond anything outside of three letter originations, who's soul purpose is to infiltrate culture, and change the perception of the CIA to society, is am intellectual.

I had a good friend who’s brother worked for the government alphabetical companies. He should us a email with a report about how the government expects a emp and how unprepared we are for one and the report continues to name off a list of problems after the initial attack.
It was very sobering.
In other words, literally a breach of classified information, followed by no source whatsoever. Sweet deal!

Great video guys
Even the movie "The Day After" had the attack start with a high altitude burst that disabled electronics prior to the big burns. That came out in the 80's Regan era.
I watched that movie it was kind of fast paced , and the main point was to show the aftermath and how the wounded would look , at the end one of the main characters kind of fades away resigned . There was a lot of publicity for that movie , weeks before and it was on a TV network so everyone could watch it.
That spy balloon was well capable of carrying a low yield nuclear device and if someone hadn't videotaped it the entire country wouldn't have known
Yeah but the US military was watching it like a hawk.

Crazy is I just seen a video on Google about a vet whi bcuz of his back ground has friends in the dhs that told him that in 3 weeks to a few months Russia and china plan on setting a hemp nuclear weapon that would cause the us major damage and chaos and he posted this a few days ago fuck .
There’s a video of the vet in combat and got shot his name is teddy Daniel’s
I just got done watching that video Teddy made. Selling his literature called "Operation Blackout" for $67. Yesterday, Fox News announced "Putin putting west on watch" for nuclear capabilities & delivering into space. This is exactly what is being talked about here and Putin now has it. Thats what made me start searching. Its sounds ridiculous but its starting to look more and more realistic. @Iosvert

“That would short the fuses in communications devices” Oooph that’s tough to listen to brother. A short is “shortening” the circuit. Either, bypassing the switch directly to the load or bypassing the load to ground.
A fuse is a circuit protecting component but in this case it would not have anywhere near the current to blow it.

There is a great trilogy of books about a possible EMP Attack the first book is called One Second After really good book.

The book One Second After by William Forstchen is the scariest thing I have read. About an EMP attack, experienced at the level of a small town in NC that really exists - Black Mountain. Horrors untold would happen if this really happened to the USA.
I haven’t read the book, but I have given consideration as to what I / my family would do in the event of an EMP, (natural or man-made).
I’d say we’d have 2-3 hours before the masses started panicking and things started getting real bad and falling apart.
I second the book. Fiction that dances on the border of what could happen. although the extent what an emp caused by a nuke would actually do is not fully understood.
The real story is what people would do… given desperate situation.
Awesome book
That book should be required reading in schools.

My dad was us army signal corp Ft Gordon GA and he had said something about the EMP and following immediate nuclear bomb attacks.
One of the few things I try to account for. And if you protect your car you open yourself up as a target as YOU have the functional car.

I been thinking about doing that anyway 🤔
Great conversation Andrew and Shawn,thank you both for your service 🇺🇸
Andy is incorrect: a single EMP weapon detonated 300 miles above the center of the lower 48 would fry every electronic circuit in the lower 48. The problem is our ballistic missile submarine fleet. When they can’t contact the NMCC, they’ll launch, and then everyone is dead. That’s a pretty big deterrent against an EMP attack.
Interesting point that I haven't seen anyone else here mention. Hopefully that deterrence is strong enough to keep this from happening.
@4:58 Well if the product(s) on the market are effective then some vehicles will still function. In fact, everything mentioned is protectable with faraday cages and some people have entire homes protected against e.m.p occurrences.
This was something I heard over a decade ago that it would only take three separate nukes to burn up essentially the three grids that cover the nation.
Very true. It can be done with low yield nukes and anyone that thinks otherwise hasn't done the research.
Yes, 💯 true. And everything we do and us on a daily basis, starting with this electronic device in our hands, to the floodlights outside our homes, require electricity. Even losing power temporarily puts people in freak mode. The human masks will be ripped off exposing the animals within. It definitely will be something beyond our wildest freak show imaginations.
Prob not even that now! Our infra suks. Theyve dun nuthin......
Why won't they do something about it are we really stretched that thin with personal
TBH, an EMP event is one of the things that scares me the most as a somewhat prepper, but I think that the likelihood it coming from an enemy, while not nil, is very low. The one that really gets me is the one that would come from mother nature... do a little research on the Carrington Event. Most people don't truly realize how much of a shooting gallery the Earth sits in from the Sun, and it's a "when", not an "if", and it will be devastating to everything modern when it happens.
same thought! And you can`t blame Russia or China for that.
Likewise because in addition to emp from nukes you could get the same problem from the sun with a CME (coronal mass ejection)! So that makes it seem all the more likely to for it to happen at some point
You can attract a cme much like a lightening rod attracts lightening. A carrington rod of sorts for during solar storms. What year was carrington event? Any scientists alive doing exoerimrnts at that time
Although experts have not achieved consensus on expected impacts, generally they believe that the most severe consequence of the pulse would not travel beyond about 2 miles (3.2 km) to 5 miles (8 km) from a ground level 10 KT IND detonation.
10:38 I think some may band together but there would also be tons of Chaos.
I have been aware of the danger of EMP’s for decades - I feel the risk now is greater than ever before
This should be PRECISELY why you stop worrying about it. We've known about them for decades.
You're not getting hit with an EMP tomorrow, enjoy the week
@@davemccombs - being aware doesn’t keep me up at night … that’s for sure … but I’m not going to bury my head in the sand about it either - you’re welcome
@@davemccombs meanwhile the Sun...
It will happen before Biden/Harris are out.
Another BIG point is China and Russian doctrine don’t consider the use of EMP as a “nuclear” strike but rather a communication / cyber attack … which would not warrant a retaliatory nuclear strike … meanwhile we are in yen stone ages .. no electricity , mass starvation etc … it would be a horrible demise
According to my research it has been speculated that only 3 high altitude bursts would be needed to cover the entire continental USA. It is the interaction with the upper atmosphere that makes it extra spicy. And this assumes "regular nukes". There is some speculation the China and Russia have worked on designs that optimize for the EMP effect. Could be b.s. though
All you need is a large warhead to make a good EMP.
5 megaton will do, but 10, 20, 50, will cover more territory.
Much of that is because if you had 3 strategically placed EMPs it could destroy the entire power grid due to the chain reaction of failures. Every electronic device would not be impacted by only 3 EMPs, but if the power grid is down you couldn't charge anything. Something I have built as a fun but useful project was a small Raspberry Pi powered PC that contains tons of survival information, and I built it inside a Pelican case lined with copper foil to act as a Faraday Cage. It can run off AC or DC.
Ground material \ soil type also greatly affects EMP effectiveness. 3 nukes launched off container ships \ subs \ satellites, or mobile launchers within country would effectively destroy North America.
@@trirunner2520 You need an insulator between the foil and whatever you're attempting to protect. A layered approach, alternating between foil and cardboard would be effective.

The value to an enemy would be taking the infrastructure intact. We’re lucky the US is large. There’s a lot of speculation how effective an EMP would be over a broad area. It may not completely damage vehicles to the point of being inoperable. Maybe just the radio and heated seats would no longer work as one example I’ve heard. It really depends on proximity and how large the device would be. Think of all the aircraft that would be affected.
@ 4:58: "....we'd have no vehicles..." Modern vehicles have actually proven fairly resilient under simulated emp tests. Yes, they do shut down at first, but after turning the key off and waiting for a few minutes, a number of vehicles have started back up.
Anyone watching this after the cell outage last night?
Dang... Andrew was spot on. Bit hilarious how Shawn struggled as he wasnt hitting the common panic notes and instead provided realistic scenarios and risk assessments
Nope, if we loose power and the food and fuel doesn’t show up most people and stores have at most a week of food. What cop or soldier is leaving their family alone. Nope we would fall apart into neighborhoods and small towns fighting hoards escaping cities.
If we can get power back on in 1 or 2 months we might hold together but doubtful
They ran the numbers and it’s projected 10% would make it to 1 year after

I am like Shawn...so skeptical about whether or not America would come together if we were attacked on our home turf. Saying that to say this, like me, I am sure Shawn has a circle of like-minded friends that will unite and be a force to reckon with.

Don't hold your breath. Most of these youtube former spec war clowns are no better prepared than you or I. If they were, most of the top bad guys would be gone by now, and if you look around this country, and the world for that matter, the bad guys rule!
All of these former spec ops clowns, if they'd started in the Biden era, would of agreed to the "pinch" and would have transgendered themselves. NOBODY IS COMMING!!!!!!!

Shawn, there’s a great book series about this very subject, the first book is called One Second After, deals with the aftermath of an EMP, great read.
Love this channel. Keep up the great work.
Thank you my friend. We appreciate the support!! ❤

It’s good to have old tube type communication equipment. Guess my 31 model A is good to go .
@ 10:22 when they are discussing Americans coming together to fight a common enemy, I believe this to be true because I have experienced this in a different situation. After the latest hurricane to hit Louisiana in 2021 “Ida”, people really do come together and help each other. They don’t wait for someone to come rescue them. They get organized and use what resources they have to help anyone who needs it. For example, the majority of restaurants in my area, New Orleans, were cooking their food on grills and giving it to whoever came by. The power was out so there was no refrigeration, so they cooked whatever they could and gave it away. Another family in a neighborhood had this entire cell phone charging station set up, so you could stop by and charge your phone. She was also making food and putting it out. These places spread by word of mouth. And everyone was welcome. These are just a couple of examples I saw around my neighborhood and surrounding areas.
Now I’m not trying to bash the government but I never saw once any outside help, like the Red Cross or the national guard. I heard that they were at certain places at certain times giving out water and MRE’s. But I never saw them or came across them, when I was out.
And during hurricane Katrina, I can back in December to New Orleans. There was no Red Cross or FEMA around, that I saw. It was local churches from all over America that stayed and coordinated and helped the everyday people, for the long haul. They had volunteers coming down and setting up big tents with clothing items, baby items, food, even gift cards to stores. And the volunteers would stay and sleep on cots in school gyms. A lot of these small churches were from up north. They were definitely the boots on the ground really making a difference in peoples lives that had been destroyed. It was very eye opening to me to see this all working really well. And it was all from volunteers. I really could go on much more, I’m hoping I got my point across.

"One Second After". Great book series about exactly this playing out.
Great read. I understand it was recommended or required reading for Congress. But, yeah, right!
What materials can an everyday citizen buy to shield our devices (vehicles/phones/washers/dryers/freezers/stoves/fridges)?
Big cities would be in trouble. Country and rural areas would have a better chance at survival. Also, the probability of this bringing folks together ought not be ruled out.
😂😂😂😂😂 everyone will be all rainbows and unicorns for the first week. Then, as people start dropping dead, their kids start drying from hunger, no cell phones or Tik Tock, the world will descend into madness.
We’re so vulnerable, but our government does nothing!
An example like tsar Bomba detonated at 30k feet over Los Angeles without the mountains that surround it would be an emp damage from Ensenada mexico to Bakersfield, CA. With mountains though it'd probably be something like Santa Barbara to tijuana
almost 4,000 here now -- this is growing fast
I like when Andrew lays down the facts with no bs. Great conversation.
This dude is pure BS what are you talking about. He is a disinformation officer and he is on the clock.
Claiming that both sides are responsible for the division. Is an obvious lie. There is only one side that encourages and promotes racism. Are you intelligent enough to understand which side that is?
One Second After series was a good read. The Going Home Series by A. American is also good. Lots of faction (fiction based on facts) and survival knowledge in both.
As the man once said: A pinch (EMP) is a device which creates, like, a cardiac arrest for any broadband electrical circuitry. Better yet, a pinch is a bomb - now, but without the bomb. See, when a nuclear weapon detonates, it unleashes an electromagnetic pulse which shuts down any power source within its blast radius. Now that tends not to matter in most cases, because the nuclear weapon usually destroys anything you might need power for anyway. But see, a pinch creates a similar electromagnetic pulse, but without the fuss of mass destruction and death. So instead of Hiroshima, you'd be getting the seventeenth century.
Isn't that off oceans 11?
You: whats the likelyhood of that happening?
Him: what?

I'm no GOP fan either, but I'm sorry but the Dems are worse. I suppose it's ALL a joke because it's really "insiders and outsiders" and in a way it doesn't matter which party.
But again, the Dems are spearheading the Woke Adjenda which is turning out to be a Commie Psy-Op. I say screw em all, but if I have to pick a side.....not even like advocating for the Republicans, but if I were going to kick a bunch of people out, I'd say the Dems can go first.
In 2004 the US Congress commissioned a report to assess the worst case scenario for EMP. The US electrical grids are not hardened against EMP/CME & we can expect a 90% mortality rate in the lower 48. Plus at least a year to return essential services back online.
Yep, and that was written before the dark start hack
90% sounds high for only a year. most death would be in cities. And most rural americans could go a year without services.
@@joesalvator5878 correct and not because of what you think. Most people think it’s because country people have better survival skills. Sure maybe but the reality is country folks just have less rioting and competition for resources. Being alone is an advantage when everyone is fighting

Just read the novel “On Second After”. Then the danger of an EMP or natural CME become slightly terrifying.

An EMP attack and the potential outcome is discussed in "One Second After" by William Forstchen. The Forward is written by Newt Gingrich. I suspect that many in your audience have at least heard about this book. It's the first book in a series of books. I understand that there is a movie or TV series in the works. I hope this is true.
Finally!!!! I always thought it'd be a great show or movie series!
One second after is an informative book on what an emp can cause and definitely a recommended read
That is an awesome book!,,
and everyone forgets its worst case fictional material. no one know for sure what will happen, no one.
He sold the rights to a movie or show got paid an the rights expired I read they was in talk with somebody else to buy the rights would be a killer show better than a movie
I didn’t even know what an EMP was until today.
I,m with you Shawn. I don't think people in our area would come together either.
Never underestimate your enemy...everything not hardened is vulnerable...maybe...retired power lineman
Fun fact: In 1966, then 27 year old Agostino "Angus" Giuseppe A Barbieri set the record for the world's longest fast at 382 days! He lived off nothing but coffee, tea, sparkling water, and vitamins during that time. He lost and epic 125kg and lived another 26 years.
So if you're thinking about preparing for a SHTF scenario but short on money, it may be wisest to spend it where it will make the biggest difference. A basic way to collect and filter rain water, some multivitamins, electrolytes, a decently stocked med bag, and self protection is a good start.
He died very young then
One second after is the book you want to read
The book One Second After by William Forstchen should always be on your shelf if this is your thing.
Love your content. Always helps me on my quest for the truth.
If you find the show, “72 Hour Until Animal, it provides a great depiction of what would happen to society without electricity
I don’t get it only after 72 hours or so. You have to be totally in-prepared and a Moron too. I fasted for over a month before and done many 78 to 100 hour fast with nothing but a little bit of water.
Basically if you have decent shelter, a fire of some kind, good clothes n boots with some bottled or stored water and water filter. With basic survival gear and canned or freeze dried food. And most fresh meat as long as not in extreme heat can last 2-3 days . It should be no problem for a small family or group of people to last a few months before having to venture out for supplies.
It’d be more than 3 days without electricity, water and food to take many New England households down as we go into the hurricane and then winter season prepared for 3 or more days on our own. Fire pits and propane stoves work. Cases of water are stacked in the basement for drinking, cooking and making the plumbing work. Food that doesn’t spoil is on hand. Yeah, it would take no food in the stores during winter to start to tilt us over.

Even if they are only "friends" long enough to crush America, they have done what they have set out to do. If they turn on each other later, what would it matter if we're already ruined as a country?
@@talentlessproductions819 Yes, but they had a population with very little spiritual and political and ethical deference’s. Especially Japan 🇯🇵
There’s Americans that have more extreme views then our enemies we would be potential fighting.
When I hear fellow Americans say that they want Shsria law and Communism, then say that what’s implanted in the Middle East or North Korea isn’t Tolitarian enough. Who then should I consider to be the enemy?
No, you'd really only need a few EMP's strategically detonated because all you need to do is target the main parts of the 3 power grids, which would cause a cascading failure to the rest of the grid. And with countries just flying weather balloons around wherever they want (a perfect place to hide and detonate a high altitude EMP), it's really not that far fetched.
Their is refineries chemical plants and nuclear plants all over the country emp goes off so does all the power to keep them running and safe therefore whole United states will be one big bomb
Yup then hit yellow bone
youd have to knock out the 3 major ones that are super EMP protected, gl with that, btw the dumb balloon was watched the entire time they did not shoot it down immidately because they were observing it and for public safety
This is why I love my '48 Willys Jeep!
I agree with both of you in that, if there was a military attack we would come together to fight the common enemy. If there was an e.m.p. or cyber attack that took out the grid, people would be fighting and killing each other over food, water, and supplies. Of coarse this is just my opinion. If you are able it's smart to stock up on enough food, supplies, a seed bank, and fuel to get you somewhere very rural to hopefully successfully live off grid.
The Starfish Prime electromagnetic pulse also made those effects known to the public by causing electrical damage in Hawaii, about 900 miles (1,450 km) away from the detonation point, knocking out about 300 streetlights,[1]: 5 setting off numerous burglar alarms, and damaging a telephone company microwave link.[6] The EMP damage to the microwave link shut down telephone calls from Kauai to the other Hawaiian islands.[7]
I'm an expert in the field of EMPs.... "A large warhead at a high altitude you'd have a huge EMP." This guy knows as much as anyone who watched a real 15 min docu on the subject.
Right? It's crazy. I'm not an expert but even with Wikipedia level knowledge, you can smell the BS
Interesting, please explain more!
Agreed. He wouldint even give direct answers
Wait and see god rules
Russia bombed Ukrainian power grid. Why no EMP to save bombs? EMP=BS ..scare tactics?
Exactly like in Modern Warfare 2 (2009) when Capt. Price launched the nuke from the Russian sub. Detonates the warhead in the atmosphere over the US essentially giving the allies a foothold over Russian artillery during the invasion of DC. Probably one of the biggest "Oh Fuck" moments in video games that I've experienced.
4:40 That shows how much you know about nuclear weapons the smallest nuclear weapon ever detonated the Davy Crockett, which wasn’t even in the kiloton range. It was in the ton range. It was something like 20 tons of TNT equivalent. It made a mushroom cloud, all nuclear weapons make mushroom clouds. If you’re talking about some thing with that large of a yield it’s gonna make a mushroom cloud, even if it’s not a A nuclear weapon
This is the type of Intellectual conversations U.S.A. needs daily to better understand the greater picture.
Only thing is we have to many crazies running around that are harder to understand or have a conversation with than our worst enimies outside the United States.
