Alot of people sure fantasize about America getting destroyed.
Look around, watch the news, be aware. That is all, no reason to freak out or anything just be aware or stick your head in the sand. The choice is yours.

how many democracies have survived the times? once the populace figures out it can vote in for itself a paycheck from the public treasury, the democracy is close to an end.
depending on the country doing the EMP burst. the computer virus can be fixed, hard to fix what happens after an emp burst when electricity isnt even up.
The point to the alert calls is that cyber terror doesnt have to mega funded, or state sponsored.
There is no question that an EMP would cause massive damage, but so would a few motivated individuals...
Which senario is more plausible and/or more likely to happen?

United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team ( http://www.us-cert.gov) states cyber attacks on U.S. government networks increased 40% from fiscal 2007 to 2008. The US-CERT responds to cyber attacks across the nation. The distributed denial-of-service attacks which began over the July 4 weekend commandeered tens of thousands of computers.
My vote - not worth the energy prepping for as individuals . .to low risk.

Virus. . .or cyberattack. thats just going to be a step by step game of attrition. . .it will get worse every year, and we will push it back every year. I would be surprised to see it get out of hand. . .but I could be wrong.
It is surprising . . if you think about it. . .how required power is these days. We couldn't support the cities, and the people in them, without it.
even preppers would be effected by this. most people who do prep seriously would be less effected than those who do not at all.
