Two days ago, Secrecy blog published a report by the JASONs, a group of eminent scientists regularly tasked with providing analysis and conclusion on potential threats for the US government. According to Secrecy blog: The U.S. electric power grid is vulnerable to damage from severe electromagnetic solar storms and remedial measures should be taken to […]
From a local color/opinion writer at the Times and Democrat newspaper of Orangeburg, SC: The experts say the damage would be millions of times worse than 9/11.

Today William Broad of the New York Times put Newt Gingrich’s role as one of the chieftains of the Cult of Electromagnetic Pulse Crazy, into that high button newspaper. DD blog touched on it last month, along with Gingrich’s numbing videos for the electromagnetic pulse doom lobby, here. Indeed, I’ve covered the Cult of EMP […]
