this was published earlier TODAY.

American civilization wiped off the earth? A thought as we approach 9/11
By Wes Vernon
[link to www.renewamerica.com]

"America's mayor," Rudy Giuliani, told a National Press Club audience Tuesday that there had been about 40 attempted/planned attacks on America in the ten years since 9/11, and he assumed there will be more. He believes future attacks on America could come at us in a form and on a level we don't anticipate. That conjecture is prescient.

Congressman Roscoe Bartlett, one of the few scientists on Capitol Hill, sponsored legislation a few years ago that resulted in a special commission on how to cope with the possibility of an Electromagnetic Pulse attack (EMP).

Electro what?

To review what this column expressed in 2009:

EMP — as deployed deliberately — is a means by which a terrorist with a single nuclear weapon would wipe out any city of his choice or the entire nation. All it takes is a nuclear bomb to explode high in the earth's atmosphere. The electronic pulse generated by the blast destroys all electronics in its line of sight. By itself, this would not kill any — or at least not more than a few — Americans immediately after the blast.

But instantaneously, we would be literally bombed back into the 18th Century, and catastrophe would set in within a few days. The power outage would last a year or more — likely longer than most food supplies will last.

Then what? Deaths would result on a scale far beyond normal — with the most vulnerable among us dying first — newborns and those adults requiring electronic medical devices. Within a short time, the devastation would affect everyone. Banks and hospitals would cease operations; most transportation would grind to a halt; elevators would malfunction; commerce would cease.

Which enemies?

Congressman Bartlett has warned that China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran "are among the countries that by themselves are more likely through proliferation activities to contribute to an increasing number of [U.S.] adversaries who may soon have the technological capacity to carry out such an attack."

......

"It is appropriate that we discuss this issue on the eve of the 10th anniversary of 9/11. But as Mayor Giuliani said at Tuesday's luncheon — in a more general context — there is nothing inherently special about the 9/11 anniversary date itself. It's what we do to keep our guard up, as opposed to lulling ourselves into thinking we are safe now that we've survived ten years without another successful major attack. "In that spirit, more Americans need to be aware of the EMP threat. Spread the word."

OK! Doin' my part.

lots more at link. I snipped the middle part of the article, a goo bit is excised

This is a direct result of the CME's, solar flares and geomagnetic storms that were Earth directed recently.

Expect this to be the norm as Solar Cycle 24 reaches its peak and our Brown-Dwarf star finally rears its head from its 30 degree orbit behind the sun (NOT Elenin).

I will post a massive Elenin/sun/dwarf-star article later tonight.

Never Fear, it is a weak emotion based on uncertainty.

If it were an EMP attack your internet wouldn't be working.

If it were aliens you would see them all over.

If it were an impending nuclear attack there would be air raid sirens, and the entire naval fleet would be pulling out to sea already.

Some people just have too much imagination I swear.

I don't wanna freak anyone out and I claim NOTHING, but I have gotten the words San Diego for about 4 months now.

I don't know what the hell that means other than the feeling that comes with it, which isn't pleasant.

I pray that this one is wrong.

Others like it haven't been....and no I do not 'get' or whatever you call it, specifics.

I type this with a heavy heart :(

Low 80s is HOT for San Diego because it sits right on the ocean. Once you drive inland 10 miles, it's 100 plus on days like today.

Riverside is up to 106 today. The sun is smoking hot!

CNN would just love to boost their ratings up to 15% of what Fox News gets.

Not EVERYONE in the country is a libtard, but they refuse to believe it.

98% of the country still wants to know what gender Rachel Maddow is, too.
