[ RadSafe ] HAARPy Rosalie and EMPs

[Richard D. Urban Jr.]

I'm so glad Rosalie is concentrating on the important stuff... like HAARP, and contrails and house pets...
Who cares about those rapscallion Iranians and their EMP plans...  

-----Original U.S. Intel: Iran Plans Nuclear Strike on U.S.

...In testimony before the House Armed Services Committee and in remarks to a private conference on missile defense over the weekend... Dr. William Graham warned that the U.S. intelligence community “doesn’t have a story” to explain the recent Iranian tests. 

One group of tests that troubled Graham, the former White House science adviser under President Ronald Reagan, were successful efforts to launch a Scud missile from a platform in the Caspian Sea. 

“They’ve got [test] ranges in Iran which are more than long enough to handle Scud launches and even Shahab-3 launches,” Dr. Graham said. “Why would they be launching from the surface of the Caspian Sea? They obviously have not explained that to us.” 

Another troubling group of tests involved Shahab-3 launches where the Iranians "detonated the warhead near apogee, not over the target area where the thing would eventually land, but at altitude,” Graham said. “Why would they do that?” 

Graham chairs the Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack, a blue-ribbon panel established by Congress...commission examined the Iranian tests “and without too much effort connected the dots,” ...

“The only plausible explanation we can find is that the Iranians are figuring out how to launch a missile from a ship and get it up to altitude and then detonate it,” he said. “And that’s exactly what you would do if you had a nuclear weapon on a Scud or a Shahab-3 or other missile, and you wanted to explode it over the United States.” 

The commission warned in a report issued in April that the United States was at risk of a sneak nuclear attack by a rogue nation or a terrorist group designed to take out our nation’s critical infrastructure. 

"If even a crude nuclear weapon were detonated... above the earth, in a split-second it would generate an electro-magnetic pulse [EMP] that would cripple military and civilian communications, power, transportation, water, food, and other infrastructure," the report warned. 

While not causing immediate civilian casualties, the near-term impact on U.S. society would dwarf the damage of a direct nuclear strike on a U.S. city. 

“The first indication [of such an attack] would be that the power would go out, and some, but not all, the telecommunications would go out. ... As electric power, water and gas delivery systems failed, there would be “truly massive traffic jams,” Graham added, since modern automobiles and signaling systems all depend on sophisticated electronics that would be disabled by the EMP wave.

“So you would be walking. You wouldn’t be driving at that point. And it wouldn’t do any good to call the maintenance or repair people because they wouldn’t be able to get there, even if you could get through to them.” 

The food distribution system also would grind to a halt as cold-storage warehouses stockpiling perishables went offline. Even warehouses equipped with backup diesel generators would fail, because “we wouldn’t be able to pump the fuel into the trucks and get the trucks to the warehouses,”...

The United States “would quickly revert to an early 19th century type of country.” except that we would have 10 times as many people with ten times fewer resources, he said.....

Asked just how many Americans would die if Iran were to launch the EMP attack it appears to be preparing, Graham gave a chilling reply. 

“You have to go back into the 1800s to look at the size of population” that could survive in a nation deprived of mechanized agriculture, transportation, power, water, and communication. 

“I’d have to say that 70 to 90 percent of the population would not be sustainable after this kind of attack,” he said. 

America would be reduced to a core of around 30 million people — about the number that existed in the decades after America’s independence from Great Britain. 

The modern electronic economy would shut down, and America would most likely revert to “an earlier economy based on barter,” the EMP commission’s report on Critical National Infrastructure concluded earlier this year...

Oh wait, that's what the Global Warming folks want, no wonder Obamassiah is their candidate, since he doesn't want to spend money on a missile defense system.
