Chinese EMP Weapons Program Confirmed by Intelligence Agencies; Designed to Attack US Carrier Fleets, Taiwan
Reports from organizations like the Center for Security Policy have confirmed that Electromagnetic Pulse, or EMP, weapons could potentially wipe out the entire infrastructure of the United States in a matter of seconds, the consequences of which may be the death of 9 out of 10 Americans within a period of one year after the blast. Many Senators, Congressman, and terrorism experts have said that EMP is the single biggest security threat the United States faces from foreign powers and terrorist organizations. Research by EMPact America indicates that a properly deployed EM pulse weapon, or weapons, has the capability of wiping out and disabling the power grid across the lower 48 states.

The threat is serious, and it just got a whole lot worse.

According to a declassified report obtained by The Washington Times the Chinese have been building and testing EMP weapons in an effort to offset their inferior technological capabilities, and are prepared to use those weapons in the event of conflict over the island of Taiwan (and likely other potential theaters of war):

Beijing develops pulse weapons
Blasts thwart all electronics

China's military is developing electromagnetic pulse weapons that Beijing plans to use against U.S. aircraft carriers in any future conflict over Taiwan, according to an intelligence report made public on Thursday.

Portions of a National Ground Intelligence Center study on the lethal effects of electromagnetic pulse (EMP) and high-powered microwave (HPM) weapons revealed that the arms are part of China’s so-called “assassin’s mace” arsenal - weapons that allow a technologically inferior China to defeat U.S. military forces.

EMP weapons mimic the gamma-ray pulse caused by a nuclear blast that knocks out all electronics, including computers and automobiles, over wide areas. The phenomenon was discovered in 1962 after an aboveground nuclear test in the Pacific disabled electronics in Hawaii.

Good advice. This is actually in many ways worse then a few bombs because of the amount of area it could cover. Most people are not prepared either then mass chaos will ensue.

This is serious. It is absolutely plausible that China would not only deploy, but actually use this new EMP weapon as a defense against US carriers over Taiwan. The bigger problem is that China is just as likely to sell that technology to countries like Iran.


... maybe I'll start digging that "storm" shelter for those uh... tornadoes we get here all the time. Probably wouldn't hurt to line it with electrical shielding either. I mean, that stuff works great for tornadoes right?

Yup and keep in mind China is mad at us about the value of the dollar and the debt they hold. They are also having problems of their own have been killing people who protest again because of high prices so while some think War is out of the question they should think again China would have no problem with killing off millions of there own as a method to reduce their population.

Then there is this (I don't agree with all the article but it sure makes you think)

Several hypotheses come to mind:

The first is the geopolitics of Afghanistan : The US is actively establishing forward military bases, surrounding and bordering on China .

Secondly, US bases in Afghanistan serve as launching pads to foment “dissident separatist” armed ethnic conflicts and apply the tactics of ‘divide and conquer’ against Iran , China , Russia and Central Asian republics.

Anybody wondering why the U.S. is not directly mentioned in end times prophecy even though we are the lone military superpower of the world and are Israel's greatest ally need look no further than EMP warefare either preceeded or followed by economic collapse. Dependence on computer driven technology is our Achilles heel.

Did a title search of the one I posted and it was not posted earlier.

But aside from that what defensive countermeasures the thing you posted says nothing about it and I do not believe there are defensive measures other then War to stop them first.

I have worked in the EMP area since 1979, almost all of which is design and mitigation against high values of electric and magnetic fields, as well as the possibility of damage/upset of critical electronic components.

While I would feel uncomfortable talking about specifics, there are three general categories:

1. Overall topological design. For example, a carrier is made of steel and inherently well shielded to most any EM threat.

2. Shielding and penetration control

3. Transient protective devices at interfaces to critical electronics.

The DoD regularly tests vehicles and aircraft against EMP field levels, as well as performs extensive simulations (my area of expertise) and is rather well aware of what susceptibilities exist. There are quite a few procedures in place (hardness assurance/hardness surveillance) to monitor these things.

The ISS is the "high ground" and who knows what we really have up there. But now we have to depend on another country to get us there. How stupid could our government be? Unless they DO have a means that we are unaware of.
