The Iranian’s appear to have just rehearsed a decades-old technique developed by the Soviets which would use what appears to be a peaceful satellite launch as a method of conducting an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack against the US homeland, taking down our electric grid, its communications, and every other critical life sustaining infrastructure with it. Thankfully, this week we also learned of a new report by the Foundation for Resilient Societies, who found that it is technically feasible and affordable for us to protect this communications and grid infrastructure from EMP.

One of our nation's most knowledgeable and experienced patriots just put FERC on notice that they MUST take a hard look at the current physical security standards for the electric grid. This short letter is a MUST READ for those who care about security! michaelmabee.info/former-cia-director-james-woolsey-on-grid-physical-security/
Michael Mabee is right. An important thing that many people don’t realize: our critical infrastructures - including the electric grid- are dependent on the private sector. If enough of our businesses go down (for any reason) we all go down with them.

There is no need to panic over coronavirus - instead, prepare! Here is where you can find authoritat...The Secure the Grid Coalition agrees 100% with Michael Mabee. We are thankful there are some civil servants @FERC who are working hard to hold accountable those in the electric power industry who favor the "business as usual" approach of accepting lackadaisical grid security. michaelmabee.info/is-the-tail-wagging-the-dog-in-grid-security/

When you have the tail wagging the dog situation, the type of dog is critical.

No requirement for FERC to remove? Is anyone required to remove it? This is no way to run a railroad.
Almost a year ago Wisconsin's Senator Ron Johnson warned that it is "way past time to stop admiring the problem" of electric grid security. This is a problem that America might just "study to death."

Get us to a safe place with the grid.
one of the most important and dangerous threats to America
Seems like President Trump could use imminent domain laws to force each independent utility to harden their area of transmission lines once and for all. Pay them to do it with tax money so they don't go broke doing it. According to Dr. Peter Pry it can be done for around 4 billion dollars. A drop in the bucket that might literally save America!

And the national electrical grid is still completely vulnerable to EMP attack by virtually any terrorist state --- including Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea. An EMP attack will destroy the system and shut down all power, with AT LEAST a 90% death rate for all Americans. Meanwhile, back at the hacienda, our alleged "leaders" have been jerking us off and blowing smoke up our ass --- for decades.
The people need to know about the electric grid. But politicans want to make America into a helpless third World Country. so they are letting it be brought down by our enemies right before our own eyes.
Problemy not, investing in securing the grid isn't exactly HIGH priority #1 for most Power Companies. Don't fix it till it's broke is their mentalities.

After 10+ years worth of grid security legislation DYING in Congress, Retired US Army Command Sergeant Major Michael Mabee makes it clear just why: MONEY TALKS. See how much the industry spent just last year to influence Congress NOT Secure the Grid against threats like EMP. Read it here: michaelmabee.info/money-talks-grid-security-walks/

Pretty telling that protecting American lives can not capture the attention of lawmakers while they’re in the midst of a flawed coup.
I now see how politicians can become billionaires by staying in Washington DC all their life. They are taking bribes instead of doing what they were elected to do. We need term limits now.
It is up to us people !
Secure the grid especially in Texas
This is such a very dangerous scenario. I hope it does not come to fruition.
