Terrorists Could Bring Down U.S. Grid With Radio Waves

Terrorists armed with inexpensive radio frequency weapons that can emit powerful electromagnetic microwave energy could cause blackouts that would offer operational advantages over assault rifles and bombs, according to an EMP expert cited in Joseph Farah’s G2 Bulletin.

Peter Pry, executive director of the congressional advisory Task Force on National and Homeland Security, told G2 that radio frequency weapons, or RFWs, are a non-nuclear EMP weapon capable of emitting a pulse similar to an E1 EMP from a nuclear weapon, except with less energy and a much shorter radius, out to a distance of less than a mile, Pry said.

“Thanks to RF Weapons,” Pry said, “we have arrived at a place where the technological pillars of civilization for a major metropolitan area could be toppled by a single individual.”

He gave an example of how terrorists armed with RF weapons could use unclassified computer models, duplicating a recent U.S. study by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or FERC, to coordinate attacks on each of the nation’s three separate electrical grid systems to collapse the entire power network.

In all, the U.S. has some 55,000 electric transmission substations with about 200,000 miles of transmission lines that comprise the U.S. power grid system.

In duplicating computer models of the system from open source FERC data, Pry said, terrorists could identify nine crucial transformer substations which, if attacked, would black out the entire national grid for weeks or months.

  2. And we ADVERTISE this to the world?
    Nothing like telling the world how to really screw us up and how much long term damage could be done by a high school geek.
    The government has been rapidly preparing for some kind of civil disaster, be it insurrection, civil war, or mass rioting over lack of food and water (3 days without electricity, food and water turns your neighbors into unfriendly and very desperate people).
    you BETTER have some basics tucked away and be ready to defend them. That ain't "tin-foil hat" stuff. That's reality.
    Who doesn't think there are some exceptionally smart muslim radicals in the USA right now who could do this sort of thing TONIGHT???
    When it DOES happen, you aren't going to the Wal-Mart to get some food and water. Without firepower, that is. Believe it - everyone else there will be packin' heat and be more than willing to use it.
    Still hate guns??? LOL! People will TAKE everything YOU have. Everything.
    Keep cheering!

  4. "And we ADVERTISE this to the world?"

    Not so much 'advertise' as just make the point. The Obama administration has ignored this threat (one might even think they were going to allow it to happen..), so, finally, some patriots who know very well what the threat is have spoken up openly, trying to get it out in the open and force some action on it.
    We will have to see if it works. From all I see of this administration, we are being set up for conquest.

  6. If the grid went down Obama would blame it on global warming and George Bush!
