Anonymous Coward User ID: 60749255 United States 07/29/2014 07:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | EMP is such a bullshit threat. My friend and I once used a Van De Graaf generator he had to zap the shit out of a computer in various places and it kept running just fine. Modern electronics are not that fragile to a little bit of electricity in the air. Just scaremongering to keep up people's tolerance for ever more bullshit. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 57577161 A Van De Graaf doesn't put out an electromagnetic pulse, it only creates static electricity. You used an absolutely idiotic example. |

Located next to the steel backstop for the many softball fields, a "super-bolt" from a thunderstorm blew apart one of the backstops. Also about every piece of electronics PLUGGED IN OR NOT PLUGGED INTO ANYTHING (like mine was) on most of the island was destroyed by the EMP. I worked at ETA school about 1/8 mile away on island and a lot of ET school trainers in the classrooms were destroyed. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 57577161 Sure, sure. [link to www.youtube.com] Whoa, that vid's a real eye-opener. Now I'm worried that a false-flag EMP attack is closer than we imagined. I wonder how that plane shields itself from blowback. I suppose the directed-energy beam is very tightly focussed. If so, I don't believe the effects would be as widespread and calamitous as the nuclear variety. It could very easily take out all of the IRS's files and emails though, LOL. My friend was an Electro Countermeasures Officer in the US NAVY years ago, YEARS ago, like 91 - he told me one EA-6B Prowler could jam/take out the whole grid of the city of Seattle. Like I said that was a very long time ago, I can only imagine now. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 57577161 The Americans have EMP cruise missiles. It is not bullshit. The NSA's Utah Data Center located in Bluffdale, UT has had 10 cosecutive meltdowns, electrical blackouts, machinery failures, fiery explosions and circuit failures in trying to get their units to work in spying on the public with its massive recording of Joe Public's emails, phone calls and tv-viewing preferences. The last meltdown was recorded by the WSJ on 9/25/13, after this date the continuing failures were not made public. So, there is now a history of the boy scout who cannot build his own campfire to cook weenies and marshmellows. Plus, the center's vast water usage in the dry regions of Utah is not public information, even as the farms and crops there are being compromised. So, if there were a planned EMP or nationwide grid failure, the PTB are playing with their own campfire and it could burn their hands. :glp111: |

Unless they get all the sites//countries to set up a bogus scenario. Coronal Mass Ejections (CME) CMEs are vast clouds of seething gas, charged plasma of low to medium energy particles with imbedded magnetic field, blasted into interplanetary space from the Sun. When a CME strikes Earth, the compressed magnetic fields and plasma in their leading edge smas h into the geomagnetic field like a battering ram. This causes a world-wide disturbance of Earth’s magnetic field called a geomagnetic storm. This produces a temporary disturbance of the Earth’s magnetosphere and an equatorial ring of currents, differential gradient and curvature drift of electrons and protons in the Near Earth region. A flood of charged particle and electrons in the ionosphere flowed from west to east, inducing powerful electri cal currents in the ground that surge thro ugh natural rock. A pitch battle takes place between charged particles and magnetic fields that shake the Earth’s magnetic field over a period of several hours or days. The birthplace of CMEs are often seen to originate near the site of solar flares. The severity of a geomagnetic storm depends on the orientation of Earth's magnetic field in relation to the solar storm magnetic orientation. If the particle cloud has a so uthward directed magnetic field it will be severe, while if northward the effects are minimized. A CME can produce the following affects: electrostatic spacecraft charging, shif ting of the Van Allen radiation belt, spacetrack errors, launch trajectory er rors, spacecraft payload depl oyment problems, surveilla nce radar errors, radio propagation anomalies, compass ali gnment errors, electrical power blackou ts, oil and gas pipeline corrosion, communication landline & equipment damage, electrical shock hazard, electrical fires, h eart attacks, strokes, and workplace & traffic accidents MORE....

Anonymous Coward User ID: 60875356 United States 07/29/2014 09:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | this is what star wars was made for though. all those star wars lasers are ready to shoot down anything that even looks like an EMP shot. It would be extremely noticable and identifiable, something going straight up like that, it would have to get up 250 miles to create the big EMP, so it would take a good 15 minutes to get that high, harder and slower to climb altitude than go horizontally. Lasers only need one fraction of a second to hit it, they travel really good at that altitude from satellites, very thin atmosphere. So nobody would ever risk trying it and not getting away with it, boy would that be a huge mistake. Russia and China and them may have Super EMP but why would they really wanna wipe everything out they own in the US, it's all just bullshit, they will never have a serious war, it will just be like a board game, the billionaires are not impulsive. |
