Got canned foods, MREs, backpacker-style entrees, anything extra?

Got a woodstove, a propane grill, some way to cook?

Just a nudge in the direction of thinking outside the box that being one of the unawakened sheeple has put you in.

Think Katrina and how your government was NOT there to save you. Now multiply that by the millions in a grid-down situation.
Would that be worse than at Joplin? Did the government stay around there? Is there a chance that the government could do anything after they fail to act in the first place?

Somehow I wonder how many of these things you have done for yourself and your family. It sounds like zero would have to be your answer.

No, really?

EMP is nothing new. In fact it's been know since... well, since before the first nuclear weapon was even detonated (Enrico Fermi predicted it before the Trinity test).

So, basically, here's what we know:
IT WOULD BE BAD IF SOME COUNTRY LAUNCHED A NUCLEAR WEAPON AT THE UNITED STATES.

Hey, thanks for clarifying that for us!

Yep, that explains 9/11

Probably not.
Some people are very willing to put other people's kids lives on the line, never their own.
Since it seems that our present government has done and will not likely do anything I wonder how we protect ourselves from this. I guess you have failed to know that the Iranians may not hit the US from Iran but from those boats they say they will send very near our eastern shore they have the missile to get the job done.

Our present government seems to have given in in every way and we will all suffer. Is there a chance that any of you left leaners have thought about the fact that an EMP doesn't worry about who loses power, water, or fuel? You guys are just too willing to think that nothing happens to you.

Just the other day our commander in chief did away with our strongest most powerful A bomb that could have handled anything Iran has now. I wonder why that was done. Can you explain to us what took place and why?

No limit to these absurd notions that Iran or N Korea pose some threat to the USA.
Surely our government isn't as sure of these things as you lefties here are. Well, maybe they are.

GTFOH.

Iran with an EM Pulse? Iran needed to put pieces of their centrifuge together by having nations around the world collaborate with them finding parts playing "Where's Waldo" to build their nuclear reactor. How the hell could they manage to put together an EMPulse?

GTFOH.
Do you really understand what is going on here? Somehow you don't seem to have heard that video or failed to comprehend any part of it.

Don't let these fools convince you that no part of this could be true. Just think what you or them would feel like after this happened. Yes, it is possible, and yes there are people who would be willing to give it a try. These two countries would be among those who would take a try and they both have the weapons to make a try, at least.
