Iran is Testing Long Ranged Missles! They Are Sending A Message!
Electromagnetic / Cyber Warfare Event
Most government experts in fields of risk mitigation are focused currently on likely terrorist or enemy-state-sponsored scenarios that could take advantage of aging electrical and water systems infrastructure. For example, a rogue nation could load “defensive” missiles with nuclear warheads and launch them as multiple electromagnetic pulse weapons (HEMPs or EMPs) above the United States and/or other countries from offshore freighters. In a literal “flash,” this could bring down national electrical grids as well as telecommunications; critical energy resources such as oil and natural gas pipelines; water delivery systems; banking and financial institutions, including consumer transactions; and emergency services. In military terminology, if a nuclear warhead is detonated hundreds of kilometers above the Earth’s surface in this way, it is known as “a high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) device. Typically the HEMP device produces the EMP as its primary damage mechanism. The nuclear device does this by producing gamma rays, which in turn are converted into EMP in the mid-stratosphere over a wide area within line of sight to the detonation. NEMP is the abrupt pulse of electromagnetic radiation resulting from a nuclear explosion. The resulting rapidly changing electric fields and magnetic fields may couple with electrical/electronic systems to produce damaging current and voltage surges” (“Electromagnetic Pulse,” Wikipedia: The Free Encyclopedia, last modified October 4, 2013, last accessed October 4, 2013:
On this order, warnings have been issued recently by the US Defense Department, Homeland Security, and even President Obama involving the risk associated with enemy nations that are already “testing” US electric infrastructure vulnerability through cyber attacks aimed at determining how to sabotage the power grid, financial institutions, and even air traffic control systems.
But that may not be the worst of it, according to a February 26, 2013, investigative report by F. Michael Maloof for World Net Daily. As a former senior security policy analyst in the office of the secretary of defense and a current staff writer for WND and G2Bulletin, Maloof points out in Sledgehammer of Cyber Warfare? EMP Attack that:
Those same adversaries—China, Russia, Iran and North Korea—also incorporate in their military doctrine the use of a nuclear electromagnetic pulse, or EMP, attack as “part of a strategic operation that would basically ‘throw the kitchen sink’ at the United States,” according to Cynthia E. Ayers, who once was with the National Security Agency and currently is with the US Army War College.
These countries, she said, will “hit us with everything—computer viruses, sabotage of critical communications nodes, kinetic strikes on key information systems and a nuclear EMP attack.”
“The last, an EMP, is their best chance to collapse our national power grid and take us down, perhaps permanently,” she said.
