April 29, 2018 - Ambassador Cooper's Article in the May American Legion Magazine

“Critical infrastructure keeps our food fresh, our houses warm, our trade flowing, and our citizens productive and safe. The vulnerability of U.S. critical infrastructure to cyber, physical and electromagnetic attacks means that adversaries could disrupt military command and control, banking and financial operations, the electrical grid and means of communication.” ~ President Donald Trump, identifying the most serious existential threats to Americans in his National Security Strategy statement, Dec. 18, 2017

It is difficult to state more succinctly this urgent problem, particularly the president’s reference to electromagnetic attacks. Lethargic federal efforts have left critical infrastructure – particularly the electric power grid – vulnerable to a natural or man-made electromagnetic pulse (EMP).

The federal government’s current dysfunctionality suggests these threats must be addressed from the bottom up—beginning at the local level. If enough citizens gain an understanding of these vulnerabilities and that they can, and must, be addressed, then they may awaken Washington to act more effectively. For example, we are working on an important Pilot Study with Duke Energy, a local utility company and CoOps in York County, South Carolina.

Please consider Amb. Cooper’s effort to get the EMP word out via the American Legion … he was invited to contribute to the May issue of their magazine which goes world-wide to 2.2 million subscribers. Click here for his American Legion article which is largely based on his testimony to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee last May. One error noted since submitting the manuscript and too late to change it — FEMA was not included in the reorganization that merged the AEC into ERDA and then DOE. It was formed slightly later, but as a separate agency and we don’t yet know how it reported into the President. Today, of course, it reports through the Department of Homeland Security, which is failing to address this urgent matter.

Also, click here for 40-minutes of last Sunday’s interview by Mark Levin with our friend Dr. Peter Vincent Pry on Fox News’ Life, Liberty and Levin. It is a most impressive discussion of this existential threat to all Americans, which is not being addressed by the dysfunctional Federal government—in effect endorsing High Frontier’s efforts in working the problem in South Carolina, from the bottom up as discussed in Amb. Cooper’s American Legion article.
