Since the thread is about EMP, let me add something to it. Has anyone watched the TV series Jericho? I really enjoyed it and recommend it to anyone. Perhaps Hollywood is once again giving us a taste of things to come. We can't forget the pilot for the X-Files spin-off The Lone Gunmen, which described the 9/11 scenario in May of that same year.

Now, what if "the powers that want to be" realize that the internet is a thorn on their side. What a great way to finally implement a police state (not trying to fear monger here, just bear with me), and detonated one or more EMP bombs on top of a few large cities? According to Dr. Paul LaViolette, this would be similar to the last Carrington event (super flare), which occurred back in 1859.

The calculations indicate that it would take about 10 years before electricity is reestablished. Talk about creating a new Weimar Republic in which people would be on their knees asking the paternalistic government for help.

This is thoroughly discussed during my show with Dr. LaViolette.

Cheers,
