It’s absurdly ridiculous that American leaders won’t protect our power grid, and the American people won’t hold them accountable.

It’s like everybody’s partying, thinking it can’t happen to US, but it almost did. 90% of us could be dying right now from lack of water, food and sanitation. See my links, below.

Whatever happened to wisdom? The people naively still trust our leaders and the media way too much, who only harp about al Qaeda, so they can gut our Constitution.

We’re livin’ on the edge!

A near miss for Earth: Solar flare that could have knocked out power, cars and phones came so close two weeks ago

  • Earth has narrowly missed electromagnetic pulses caused by solar flares
  • If they had hit, the pulses could have knocked out electrical equipment over continent-scale regions

1 August 2013

… ‘The world escaped an EMP catastrophe,’ Henry Cooper, who now heads High Frontier, a group pushing for missile defence, told Washington Secrets.

‘There had been a near miss about two weeks ago, a Carrington-class coronal mass ejection crossed the orbit of the Earth and basically just missed us,’ added Peter Vincent Pry, who served on the Congressional EMP Threat Commission.

‘Basically this is a Russian roulette thing,’ he said. ‘We narrowly escape from a Carrington-class disaster.’ …

President Bill Clinton’s former Director of Central Intelligence, James Woolsey, led a panel earlier this week on the threat of a natural or nuclear EMP.

Experts have also recently demanded that Washington prepare the nation’s electric grid for an EMP.

They want the 2,000-3,000 transformers in the U.S. grid protected with a high-tech metal box and spares ready to rebuild the system.

According to Woolsey, knocking out only 20 of these would shut down electricity to parts of the nation for a long time.
