North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un has threated the United States with an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack. According to Breitbart:

"North Korea threatens to wipe out the United States on a regular basis through its state media. However, this is the first time North Korea has openly threatened to use an EMP weapon.

According to the Associated Press, shortly after North Korea launched its sixth nuclear test using an H-bomb, the "Hermit Kingdom’s” leader Kim Jong-un issued a statement through its state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) claiming the weapon "is a multi-functional thermonuclear nuke with great destructive power which can be detonated even at high altitudes for super-powerful EMP (electromagnetic pulse) attack according to strategic goals.”

Kim reportedly claimed that "all components of the H-bomb were homemade … thus enabling the country to produce powerful nuclear weapons as many as it wants.”

End excerpt.

While the government has probably hardened some facilities, the rest of us are SOL if this should occur, and most of us will wind up dead within the year. Suffering will be beyond description, and it is likely cannibalism will be rampant with a couple of months of the attack. This isn't a joke.

We may well have to invade Korea, whether the Chinese and Russians like it or not. Woe unto the inhabitants of the Earth, for Satan has come down to you in great wrath, for he knows his time is short.

It's kinda like that.

One piece of disagreement with the article which states:

"Protecting North American’s electrical grid against the most devastating consequences of an EMP disruption or attack is simple and would require, at its most basic, a minimal amount of resources. State by state protections are likely."

End excerpt.

Well, in theory it is easy but in practice?  You need to build a  Faraday cage around whatever it is you don't want to blow up. Or shield it with a lot of non-conducting material (like deep underground).  But the grid is MASSIVE and wherever there is a break the EMP will penetrate. It's not like you can shield parts of it; the whole thing is designed to transmit all over the country and shere the pulse hits it will move through the rest of the grid.  Certain spots can be protected, but the problem still remains that the majority of the population are still going to wind up in the dark.

This is a terrible, terrible danger. I've been warning against it for years, long before it became the hot topic it is now.  Read my article warning of this back in 2006.
