No other industry wields the power of the electric utility lobby to make their own rules and influence government regulation to their liking. This is a must read article by Mike Mabee @CivilDefenseBK2 about this reality, with which @FERC must content. https://t.co/xGkTgr7MWQ
In 2014, @ResilientGrid called out NERC's physical security standard as requiring paperwork, not protection. Asked #FERC for rehearing. Denied. In 2019, @CivilDefenseBK reveals weak enforcement of weak standard. U.S. electric grid at risk of attack! https://t.co/fwhyTTjMLc
A must read article by Mike @CivilDefenseBK2 about how America transitioned to our present state of vulnerability. We must be like the generations of Americans before us and take on the present challenge and @SecureTheGrid! https://t.co/vuBLvnXEIM

Dr. Pry’s Article in The Hill: “Will Wonder Weapons Defend Us in an EMP Attack?”
In this article, Dr. Pry introduced some very wise points made by USAF veteran and grid-down survival expert Jonathan Hollerman and linked to one of his most recent newsletters. See Dr. Pry, Jon Hollerman, and many of our other coalition leaders in this video from the press conference surrounding the release of the EPRI report: securethegrid.com/grid-experts-decry-emp-deniers-special-interest-generated-junk-science/
Will 'wonder weapons' defend us in an EMP attack?

The US military is not training for an EMP attack or its aftermath, adequately if at all.
Unfortunately the military is a slow learner
We are being setup to absorb a first strike to usher in the new world order, thats when all the new weapons will be rolled out...
Better keep the old ships operational like Big Mo
it's hard to fight back starving to death with no electricity & your pants down caught by surprise freezing in the cold with all the lights out....but hey lisa murkowski has the grid act blocked in committee for years..they donated to her rino reelection treasure chest..she could care less if 90% of americans die or not from an EMP or carrington event...as long as she got hers who gives a f .reelect lisa murcowski of Alaska she is for the people , a true patriot..luv ya Lisa you go girl. you pos
President Donald Trump stated: [5]
Our goal is simple: to ensure that we can detect and destroy any missile launched against the United States anywhere, any time, any place . . . When it comes to defending America, we will not take any chances. We will only take action. There is no substitute for American military might.
In order to achieve that goal, President Trump has:
Spearheaded a massive rebuilding of the U.S. Navy’s fleet of destroyers, [6]aircraft carriers, [7]and attack submarines. [8]
Established a new office to oversee acquisition of the Navy’s new Columbia Class ballistic missile submarines, “the key to the nation’s nuclear triad.” [9]
Reactivated the U.S. Navy 2nd Fleet [10](deactivated by President Obama in 2011 [11]) to patrol the North Atlantic and to challenge Russia.
Established, with his Army Chief of Staff General Mark Milley, a new Four Star Army Command called Futures Command [12]to develop advanced weapon technologies that can challenge Russia and China in the wake of President Barack Obama’s [13]cancellation [14]of Future Combat Systems.
Issued an executive order [15]preparing the U.S. to counter, react, and respond to a nuclear electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack.
Announced [16]a new “Star Wars” missile defense [17]system even more advanced than the system envisioned by Ronald Reagan.
Established a sixth branch of the armed forces: the U.S. Space Force. [18]
Ordered [19]the establishment of U.S. Space Command (USSPACECOM) in December 2018.
Appointed the architect [20]of Reagan’s “Star Wars” SDI program to direct the Pentagon’s advanced technology programs and to restart “Star Wars” — a highly effective and symbolic move.
Withdrew [21]the United States from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty on which Russia was cheating.
Signed [22]the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for 2019

Thanking God for President Trump and his understanding of how extremely important it is to protect the grid. Shame on the Presidents, Houses of Reps and Senates of the past twenty years that have ignored it.
Outstanding. We have a real Commander in Chief.
Thank you PRESIDENT TRUMP.
Never another, Dec. 7 th 1941 again, always be on guard. Too many want to hurt and take freedom from us. You can not just trust.
Thank you Dr. P for your work.

Today, many CIOs and CISOs make an educated guess with no quantitative or systematic way of knowing ...Attacks on Electrical Substations
Attacks on electrical substations have underscored one of America’s most serious vulnerabilities: If the power goes off and stays off, our Nation and the vast majority of its population will cease to exist.
In addition to natural causes (geomagnetic disturbances (GMD) a.k.a. solar storms), the grid can be seriously disrupted for prolonged periods by four man-made events, including physical assaults, radio frequency devices (RFD), cyberattack, and high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP). Such events could disrupt and/or destroy outright key parts of the power grid, prompting the cascading collapse of substations and effecting every one of the other 15 critical infrastructures that assure the availability of water, food, medicine, finance, transportation, telecommunications, etc., possibly for years.
The good news is that we know how to fix the electric grid’s vulnerabilities. Known and relatively affordable technologies can protect our power grid and the 21st Century American economy, society and people that absolutely depend upon it.
Learn about the threat – and what you can do about it.
Our Nation’s 16 Critical Infrastructure Sectors are:
- Energy
- Defense Industrial Base
- Communications
- Healthcare & Public Health
- Emergency Services
- Water & Wastewater Systems
- Transportation Systems
- Food & Agriculture
- Information Technology
- Financial Services
- Nuclear Reactors, Materials & Waste
- Chemical
- Commercial Facilities
- Critical Manufacturing
- Dams
- Government Facilities
These infrastructures are dependent on electricity and technology.
