October 22, 2014—Who you gonna believe, me or your lying eyes?

by Scott Cooper on October 21, 2014 in EMP, FERC, Henry F. Cooper, High Frontier, Missile Defense, NERC, Quick Fix

“[The federal government’s] purpose is to safeguard the American people and pursue our interests in the world, not to solve the world’s problems on our dime and, occasionally, by using us as laboratory mice. As free people, we can try to save the planet. The federal government, however, was not created to do it for us, much less to coerce us into implausible “humanitarian” schemes that always manage to line some crony’s pocket. National interest is our government’s only reliable compass, yet it has been discarded.” ~Andy McCarthy Read Full Story

October 14, 2014—Nature Abhors a Vacuum!

Former Defense Secretary and CIA Director Leon Panetta and other departed senior officials have stated their misgivings about President Obama’s strategy, that, among other things, helped make possible the rise of ISIS. Panetta recently stated: “When we stepped out of Iraq, we created this vacuum.” ISIS is currently filling the space in the Middle East. Will they succeed? Will they be defeated? Contained? Come here? Hmmmmm . . . Read Full Story

October 8, 2014—Protect America from the EMP Threat!

by Scott Cooper on October 6, 2014 in EMP, Iran, ISIS, Missile Defense, North Korea, Pakistan

The rise of the Islamic State and its objective of re-establishing an Islamic caliphate committed to destroying Western civilization highlights a threat the U.S. has ignored for decades. The ability to launch nuclear armed ballistic missiles is not beyond its prospective capabilities and exists already from North Korea and possibly soon from Iran. The electromagnetic pulse (EMP) from a single nuclear warhead detonated 100 miles or so over the U.S. could destroy our unhardened electric power grid—leading to the death of several hundred million Americans within the following year. It’s time to counter this threat! Read Full Story

September 24, 2014—ISIS . . . Over There?

by Scott Cooper on September 24, 2014 in EMP, Henry F. Cooper, High Frontier, ISIL, ISIS, Islamic State, Khorasan, Missile Defense, Quick Fix

Fourteen of yesterday’s early morning attacks in Syria focused on ISIS targets. Very important is that another eight Khorasan target areas were attacked by U.S. weapons, reportedly as somewhat of an afterthought, because recent intelligence indicated that these jihadis were on the verge of launching attacks in Europe and/or the U.S. homeland. Are we prepared to counter other “unidentified” homeland attacks? Read Full Story

September 19, 2014—To War or Not To War . . .

by Scott Cooper on September 19, 2014 in EMP, Henry F. Cooper, High Frontier, ISIL, ISIS, Islamic State

“. . . [P]otential allies do not quite know what the U.S. is doing, how long America will fight, and what will happen to U.S. allies when we likely get tired, quit, and leave. For now, most allies are sitting tight and waiting for preemptive, unilateral U.S. action. If we begin defeating the Islamic State, they may eventually join in on the kill; if not, they won’t. That is a terrible way to wage coalition warfare, but we are reaping what we have sown.” ~Victor Davis Hanson Read Full Story

September 12, 2014—ISIS is not Islamic?

by Scott Cooper on September 12, 2014 in Electric Grid, EMP, Henry F. Cooper, High Frontier, ISIL, ISIS

“President Obama’s promise “to degrade and ultimately destroy ISIL” may or may not end up causing problems for the Islamic State. Surely however, it further degraded our security by further engaging us in the combination of fantasy and half measures that has earned America a reputation for un-seriousness and opened hunting season on Americans everywhere.” ~Angelo Codevilla Read Full Story

August 25, 2014—Wake-up The Dogs Not Barking!

by Scott Cooper on August 24, 2014 in EMP, Henry F. Cooper, High Frontier, Iran, Missile Defense, North Korea, Quick Fix

“There is now an increasing likelihood that rogue nations such as North Korea (and before long, most likely, Iran) will soon match Russia and China in that they will have the primary ingredients for an EMP attack: simple ballistic missiles such as SCUDs that could be launched from a freighter near our shores; space launch vehicles able to launch low- earth-orbit satellites; and simple low-yield nuclear weapons that can generate gamma rays and fireballs. In 2004, the Russians told us that their “brain drain” had been helping the North Koreans develop EMP weapons . . .” ~Former CIA Director R. James Woolsey Read Full Story

August 18, 2014—On Organizing Principles . . . Really!

by Scott Cooper on August 16, 2014 in EMP, Henry F. Cooper, High Frontier, Missile Defense, Quick Fix

“Great nations need organizing principles, and ‘Don’t do stupid stuff’ is not an organizing principle.” ~Private Citizen Hillary Clinton, The Atlantic, August 10, 2014 . . . “What difference at this point does it make?” Secretary of State Hillary Clinton before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, January 23. 2013. Indeed???

August 11, 2014—Operation Pinprick . . .

by Scott Cooper on August 10, 2014 in Caliphate, Henry F. Cooper, High Frontier, Iraq, ISIS, Syria

“This is a pinprick. It’s almost worse than nothing because I fear the president is threatening and then he won’t follow through … It’s the weakest possible response and we cannot allow them [ISIS] to take Erbil. What [the administration has] done so far is almost meaningless.” ~Senator John McCain (R-AZ) Read Full Story

August 5, 2014—Delusional Defense . . .

by Scott Cooper on August 4, 2014 in EMP, Henry F. Cooper, High Frontier, Missile Defense, Quick Fix

“If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.” ~Winston Churchill Read Full Story
