When the Lights Go Down In the City…”FEMA has warned America to be prepared to be without power for 6 months or longer.”

It is time for a two-part history lesson. Some Americans and a few journalists in the Independent Media are awakening to the fact that a grid down, or even a massive EMP scenario is becoming more likely by the day. With all due respect, the accounts I have read are incomplete as to the history, the effects and the specifics tied to such events. This is the first of a two part scenario.
The first part of the mini-two-part series will focus on the EMP threat as expressed through the eyes of my former Congressman, Trent Franks. To Franks’ credit, he took on the Democratic establishment and tried to expose this threat to the American people. He got absolutely no traction from the mainstream media, only derision, and his pleas for prevention from such a catastrophe fell upon deaf ears despite strong evidence supporting the need to do so.
The danger to the US power grid is finally being reported accurately but not in its totality. There are two basic threats to the power grid:
1.The first threat consists of a EMP taking down the grid, or some facsimile of this event through a cyber-attack. The Naval War College estimated that within two years of such an event 90% of all Americans would be dead. America would cease to exist as a nation. From what I am reading, this threat is still being understated and the ease of this threat being carried out is being underestimated.
2.If you think the above threat(s) is grave, the threat to our nuclear power plants is the most severe threat mankind could face except maybe for a direct strike of a mile-wide asteroid off one of our coastlines.
Scenario One-High Altitude Nuclear Blast
Simply put, the first threat consists of the traditional high altitude nuclear blast over mid-continental United States resulting in a grid down scenario as exemplified by the scenario portrayed from this graphic with the EMP effects correlated to the altitude of the nuclear burst.
