Iran can launch ballistic missiles from the deck of a ship (proven in the Caspian Sea). If topped with a nuclear warhead, this could enable an EMP attack from a freighter. @FredFleitz appreciates this threat and POTUS's strength on Iran. He should be DNI! https://t.co/n3rwDsq9ct
EMP Expert Dr. Peter Pry reminds us: DNI Coates refuses meeting with EMP Commission experts despite the President's March 26, 2019, Executive Order to protect the U.S. from an EMP catastrophe. Time for @realDonaldTrump to replace Coates with @FredFleitz! https://t.co/Bo6aMfMFne
Indeed, @FredFleitz would be a great choice since @realDonaldTrump expects the DNI to update intelligence assessments as part of his EMP Executive Order. Fleitz could wake up the intel community to the EMP real threat, which in turn could help wake up policmakers and the public.
Leaders like @RepScottPerry and @SenRonJohnson who "get" the threat of EMP to the electric grid are rightly frustrated by a lack of intensity to meet this threat from federal departments and the utility industry. @CivilDefenseBK2 makes that clear here: https://t.co/c93XDqyRmE
America should be grateful to @JimBridenstine for his support for a Space Force and especially for his clear eyed view on the grave threat from EMP! He said "we need to do what is necessary to defend our nation and prevent that from happening.” https://t.co/Eeyjh05xfP

Without strong enforcement provisions all of these reports, directives & deadlines are meaningless. So what are they & specifically what enforcement provisions are in Trump’ EO?
ALL THE WORST ENEMIES ALREADY KNOW, TAKE OUT THE GRID AND THE COUNTRY WILL COLLAPSE....BECAUSE PEOPLE NOW DAYS THAT LIVE IN THE BIG CITIES WILL FALL INTO DISARRAY...PEOPLE OUT IN THE COUNTRY SIDE WILL ENDURE BUT SURVIVE. GOOD TEST IS SHUT DOWN A BIG CITY GRID FOR A MONTH...EVEN A WEEK AND WATCH IT COLLAPSE. DEFINITELY KNOW THE FARMER, AMISH AND SOME OTHERS WILL COPE.

This so could happen in America & only a few million are prepared or aware it could happen, most live in a bubble / space & never pay attention. False hope of relying on State/Federal Leadership is a HUGE MISTAKE. They can & will only do just so much, it's the citizen's responsibility too.
We fix it with our own citizens and have the bonus of a strong economy.
The problem with the Washington Post is all their fake news for the last 5 to 10 yrs. They have lost all credibility, even if this is a problem.
Do your own and make yourself proud.
Yes it's serious but I do not see how it is OUR problem.
Not paying to read it!
If we don’t protect it ... 🤬. WAKE UP PEOPLE
Washington post enemy of the United States
Yep read our grid is outdated &in danger !! If. The grid is hit you'll wonder where you will get news, groceries, hospitals will suffer, medicines, if it lasts a long time, the govt needs to make it a priority now !!!
Maybe a 'dry run' by a foreign entity who wants world domination for a future long term blackout for USA?? A nationwide blackout, even for a day, would cripple our country.
30 yrs after the massacre in Tiananmen Square, the Chinese Communist Party would relish the opportunity to crush our efforts to secure our most critical infrastructure - the electric grid. Is their membership in @Edison_Electric helping them do just that?

Thirty years ago today, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army fired into crowds of its own people—thousands of student-led protestors calling for a more democratic government. This marked a brutal end to the pro-democracy demonstrations that had been going on for weeks in Tiananmen Square. While estimates suggest that several hundred to thousands of people died that day, an official death toll has never been released.

A total of $8 million will spur efforts to enhance reliability and adaptability of the United States...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.
