Obama’s failure to act invites frightening consequences

In an annual report to Congress March 12, Director of National IntelligenceJames R. Clapper said Iran could not produce weapons-grade uranium without it being detected. It already has.

In an interview with Israel’s Channel 2 television that same week, President Obama said Iran is still “over a year or so” away from building a nuclear weapon. Mr. Obama said then that during his stay in Israel, he would reiterate the U.S. stance to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that all options are on the table to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons capability. He’s too late.

Memories . . . and Things Yet to Be . . .

Next week, we celebrate Ronald Reagan’s March 23, 1983 address that launched his Strategic Defense Initiative.

March 11, 2013 – Yogi Berra opined, “When you come to a fork in the road, take it” . . . but, which way to go?

As observed in our past several email reports, there are two sources for an existential EMP threat: one natural and one manmade. This week, there were press reports of current events related to both—but with the exception of World Net Daily’s report of Scandinavia’s interest in current solar storms, none emphasized the EMP threat.

March 4, 2013 – Beware the Ides of March!

No one knows when trouble will strike in a devastating way. And there is nothing magic about March 15 . . . just the date of Julius Caesar’s assassination in 44 B.C., after which the “Ides of March” assumed a special identity to reflect a specific day that sent a ripple of History-changing repercussions throughout Roman society and beyond. Last week a couple of articles from the web warn of events that could bring down America and Western Civilization much faster than the fall of Rome.

Congress will soon again consider legislation to protect the nation’s Electric Power Grid from either the Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) from the detonation of a nuclear weapon high above the United States or a massive Geomagnetic Disturbance (GMD) caused by a solar superstorm, a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). As discussed in our December 20, 2012 email… Read Full Story

December 30, 2012 – An EMP Existential Threat: An Unlikely Event?

December 30, 2012 – An EMP Existential Threat: An Unlikely Event?

Many consider electromagnetic pulse (EMP) event to be very unlikely—so unlikely that it need not be worried about. For over a decade, it has been understood that even terrorists could create lethal EMP effects from a nuclear armed ballistic missile launched from vessels off our coasts. And EMP from a solar storm will occur someday, it is just a question of when. Read Full Story
