For those who are skeptical about North Korea’s capabilities, there is an excellent article presented by The Hill, entitled How North Korea could kill 90 percent of Americans.” The article is authored by none other than R. James Woolsey, former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency and by Dr. Peter Vincent Pry, the Executive Director of the EMP Task Force on National and Homeland Security and a former analyst with the CIA.

Well that would be an interesting event, grid down lots of lives lost because so many would be unprepared for the lives of the stone age, not to mention the Nuclear plants that would begin to fail.

Live without electric for several years. Rod says everybody gets that experience at least once at some point in time.

RSOE EDIS - HAZMAT event in Russia [Asia] on April 07 2017 03:26 AM

The Russian Postal and Federal Customs Services intercepted a radioactive parcel at a logistics center at Moscow's Vnukovo Airport and sent it to a special facility for disposal on Thursday. The discovery was made "during a check of mail to be delivered outside Russia," the Russian Post's press-service told TASS news agency. As the Yantar radiation control system was scanning one of the parcels, it registered "gamma rays exceeding the maximum permissible radiation background by dozens of times," it said. The source of dangerous emissions was immediately removed from the rest of the packages and placed in a protective container. The parcel contained "an aeronautic measuring device with a built-in dial piece," the press service said, adding that the radioactive cargo had been sent to a specialized facility for disposal. "The radiation level of the remaining postal items was at standard level," it stressed. The radioactive parcel had been sent by a female Muscovite to an addressee in the UK, according to TASS's police source.
 
It would result in temporary chaos. Anyone with a bunch of pre-computerized car would make a fortune. It would cause a year or two of major problems, but we would pull together, and get things going again. In the meantime, North Korea would be no more.

Anyone thinking this nation would stay down has never read the history of what our industries did after Pearl Harbor.

Not even close. A good friend of mine is a Systems Architect (think the guy that runs the Matrix from the movies) and one of his hobbies is calculating what is needed to destroy the country, the world, the solar system, etc. To destroy this country's economy would require at least 10 EMP bombs spaced in a very specific pattern. And this is information from before the internet which has made it even harder to disrupt.

To kill 90 percent of Americans is simply beyond their power. He came up with a set of nukes, once again arranged in a pattern, that if timed to detonate at the exact same time, would generate a flash temperature of around 2000 degrees on the surface for about 80% of the continental US. Anybody on the surface would die, but if you were under cover you would most likely survive.

It's real hard to kill that number of people, thankfully.

All they have to do is send a virus to the power stations, and that is just one method. But lets pretend the grid went out across the Country however they decided to do it.

Wes, half this Country can't even grow a tomato water would be unavailable, nuke plants would shut down most people only have a three day supply of food.

Hell look what happened during hurricane Katrina. ( This of course is lets say a week without power) anything past that people would eat one another.

And yes people who are prepared would survive that percentage is lower than average. Imagine how many dumbasses we have who think it's all a conspiracy , or nothing like that could ever happen to big ole US of A.

They forget how the power went out up the entire east coast quite a few years ago.

How many and how big the nukes? I don't buy it, I remember our nuclear test when we used live infantry men hiding in fox holes not far from the blast zone they were not out right killed.

Knocking out the power grid would certainly effect the economy, but it wouldn't kill a great number of people. And, most of the grid could be brought back online relatively quickly. One of the advantages of have an antique grid is it is robust.

Ten nukes, and IIRC they were in the 50 megaton range. Remember this was a conversation from 30+ years ago.

Just based off a few scenarios though millions would die..

There are obviously a variety of different, unrelated situations that our society could encounter that would end “life as we know it.” Now, this does not necessarily mean that the entire globe will be wiped out by an asteroid the size of Texas (though, we won’t completely rule this out as a possibility). What the end of the world as we know it actually means is that we could see a complete shift in how our society operates, meaning that there may not be paper currency, ATM machines, movie theaters, or Starbucks coffees on every corner – perhaps for a time all commerce and trade would come to a screeching halt until whatever caused the imbalance begins to recover.

Scenarios like this are not only likely, but occur regularly as evidenced by the many wars of the past century, hyperinflation (i.e. Zimbabwe, Weimar), and natural disasters (i.e. Hurricane Rita and the Asian Tsunami). Rather than watching these catastrophes playing out on television or in history books, to truly prepare yourself and your family for potential catastrophes, it is important to think in terms of them happening to you directly and to consider how you would respond.

James Rawles on Grid Scenarios:

Once you get past about 500 people, it really becomes unmanageable, especially with no radio communications and no phones to think that you can pull together as a community. Once you lose that sense of community, it’s basically every man for himself. I think people will go kind of Mad Max in an absolute worst case with the power grid down.

We’re looking at two different situations. Again, in the former situation where the power grid stays up, you might do well in a city of five or ten thousand people.

If the power grid goes down, again, I would not recommend being in a town of more than 500 population.



There’s definitely going to be a public health crisis at the very least, if not a situation where the cities become absolutely unlivable very quickly – I’m talking within two weeks.

Mr. Rawles points out the potential for “every man for himself” Mad Max scenarios as being likely outcomes in the event of a down grid. Whether you’re in the city or in rural parts of America you will either be the one looking for food and resources because you didn’t prepare, or you will be the one defending against Mad Max with a full belly and a self defense strategy.

Winter vs. Summer:

If we were to have the onset of a collapse in summertime we’d see a public health crisis very quickly. If it were to happen mid-winter we’d actually see more people dieing of exposure, dieing of the cold, than we would of dieing of disease, especially int he Eastern United States and the North East.

It doesn’t take too long a period before blankets are insufficient – people don’t have any alternate source of heat they’ll be freezing to death in large numbers.

Then what happens in the next spring when everything thaws out? Then you have a really big public health crisis because not only are you worried about human waste – you’re also worried about thousands upon thousands of unburied bodies.

We could be in a situation where we literally could see a 90% die-off in the major metropolitan regions. Ninety percent population loss and that’s just based on loss of the power grid alone, not counting the violence of people as food supplies dwindle, going from house to house taking what little is left – fighting over the scraps in effect.

A recent report from the Center for Security Policy suggests that Mr. Rawles’ estimation of a 90% die-off is right on target, as previously discussed in Within One Year 9 Out of 10 Americans Would Be Dead.

What to do:

I highly recommend that if any of your listeners have the opportunity, if they’re ,,,,,,,,,

Yes, and I posted on the dangers of a Carrington Event here a couple of years ago, and the 'Conservatives' proceeded to make fun of that post. And all I proposed was adoption of proceedures to shut down the grid and substations as the storm hit.

If the power grid goes down, again, I would not recommend being in a town of more than 500 population.



There’s definitely going to be a public health crisis at the very least, if not a situation where the cities become absolutely unlivable very quickly – I’m talking within two weeks.

Mr. Rawles points out the potential for “every man for himself” Mad Max scenarios as being likely outcomes in the event of a down grid. Whether you’re in the city or in rural parts of America you will either be the one looking for food and resources because you didn’t prepare, or you will be the one defending against Mad Max with a full belly and a self defense strategy.

Winter vs. Summer:

If we were to have the onset of a collapse in summertime we’d see a public health crisis very quickly. If it were to happen mid-winter we’d actually see more people dieing of exposure, dieing of the cold, than we would of dieing of disease, especially int he Eastern United States and the North East.

It doesn’t take too long a period before blankets are insufficient – people don’t have any alternate source of heat they’ll be freezing to death in large numbers.

Then what happens in the next spring when everything thaws out? Then you have a really big public health crisis because not only are you worried about human waste – you’re also worried about thousands upon thousands of unburied bodies.

We could be in a situation where we literally could see a 90% die-off in the major metropolitan regions. Ninety percent population loss and that’s just based on loss of the power grid alone, not counting the violence of people as food supplies dwindle, going from house to house taking what little is left – fighting over the scraps in effect.

A recent report from the Center for Security Policy suggests that Mr. Rawles’ estimation of a 90% die-off is right on target, as previously discussed in Within One Year 9 Out of 10 Americans Would Be Dead.

What to do:

I highly recommend that if any of your listeners have the opportunity, if they’re ,,,,,,,,,

Rawles: ‘If the Power Grid Goes Down, I Would Not Recommend Being In a Town of More Than 500 Population’
You know, you and that fellow really think that their fellow Americans are terminally stupid. Sorry, but the people in the cities would probably fare better than those in very rural areas. You see, we have warehouses of food here, and those would be used to ration food to our populations. In the meantime, very few people in the rural areas garden or can food anymore.
