Cult of EMP Crazy: Also akin to record with repeating skip in it

Posted in Crazy Weapons, Extremism at 10:24 am by George Smith

The Cult of EMP Crazy is ridiculous for many reasons.

One of the more noticeable of these is the practice of spitting out the exact same scripts and stories, sometimes more than a couple times every month. EMP Crazies are such crappy opinion writers they pretend to not notice that every single one of them always emits the exact same lines, like a chorus of trained parrots.

Today’s example, at FOX News:

“Ever heard of Electromagnetic pulse, or EMP? Probably not, unless you’re a nuclear weapons expert.”

No, wrong. Ding! Ding! For the love of Pete, have mercy! Only for the second or third time this week.

“What if the electricity suddenly went out?” asks KT McFarland.

Who is KT McFarland? Someone who tried to run against Hillary Clinton. Oh, this really does not look good.

“Kathleen Troia ‘K.T.’ McFarland served in national security posts in the Nixon, Ford and Reagan administrations,” it reads. “She wrote Secretary of Defense Weinberger’s November 1984 ‘Principles of War Speech’ which laid out the Weinberger Doctrine. She is a senior adviser to the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies and a frequent contributor to the Fox Forum.”

“What if the electricity suddenly went out?” KT writes, a second time. In case you, like, didn’t see it in the lede.

“Nothing would work – not the phone system, or water pumping stations, or planes, trains or automobiles. Your toilet wouldn’t flush and the TV wouldn’t turn on. Planes would stop in mid-air. (That’s a helluva trick of physics, aerodynamics and internal combustion! — DD) The only way to communicate would be face to face. Credit cards would be useless.

“Tens of millions would die of disease and starvation.”

So club the Obama administration over the head again for not doing anything to stop it — like bombing Iran.
