Review : Nuclear Electromagnetic Pulse (******)
NUCLEAR ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE REVIEW
Congressional Record: June 9, 2005 (House) Page H4340-H4345
Brief History -
"Mr. BARTLETT of Maryland. Mr. Speaker, the subject that I want to spend a few moments talking about this afternoon really began for our country in 1962. We were still testing nuclear weapons then, and for the first time the United States tested a weapon above the atmosphere. This weapon was detonated over Johnston Island in the Pacific. This was a part of a series of tests called the Fishbowl Series, and this was Operation Starfish in 1962. We had no prior experience with the detonation of a weapon above the atmosphere. We prepared for this test with airplanes and ships using radar and theodelites and instrumentation to measure the effects on the ground from a blast that was some 400 kilometers in altitude". . . .]
EFFECTS -
[ . . . "EMP could, compared to a nuclear ****** on the city, **** many more Americans in the long run from indirect effects of collapsed infrastructures of power, communications, transportation, food, and water. Can you imagine our country, Mr. Speaker, with 285 million people, no electricity, and there will be no electricity, no transportation, no communication? The only way you can go anywhere is to walk, and the only person you can talk to is the person next to you. What would we do? How many of our people might not survive the transition from that situation to where you had established a sort of infrastructure that could support civil society as we know it today. Strategically and politically, an EMP ****** can threaten entire regional or national infrastructures that are vital to U.S. military strength and societal survival, challenge the integrity of allied regional coalitions, and pose an asymmetrical threat more dangerous to the high-tech West than to rogue states. This makes the point that I was making that because we are the most sophisticated, we are the most vulnerable." . . .]

**** a nation with a single shot ? Who needs a military ?
I'm kidding . . . no, I'm worried to be quite frank. :helpme:
And to think that we have politicians, "representatives" they call themselves ! that would sieze this nations' ability to defend itself using the most advanced technology available, technology actually developed right here in America, there are appeasing politicians that say NO !
Doomed
