While the international community and news media focus on North Korean missile tests and the country’s nuclear program, one expert warned on Sunday that North Korea may be secretly assembling the capability to take out significant parts of the U.S. homeland via an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack.
Dr. Peter Vincent Pry is executive director of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security and is the chief of staff of the Congressional EMP Commission.
Speaking on this reporter’s talk radio program, Pry pointed to two North Korean satellites that are currently orbiting the U.S. at trajectories he says are optimized for a surprised EMP attack. “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio” is broadcast on terrestrial radio on New York’s AM 970 The Answer and NewsTalk 990 AM in Philadelphia and online.
Pry was referring to the KMS 3-2 and KMS-4 earth observation satellites launched by North Korea in April 2012 and February 2016 respectively.
He warned: “They are positioning themselves as sort of a nuclear missile age, cyberage version of the battleship diplomacy in my view. So that they can always have one of them (satellites) very close to being over the United States or over the United States.
“Then if a crisis comes up and if we decide to attack North Korea, Kim Jong Un can threaten our president and say, ‘Well, don’t do that because we are going to burn your whole country down.’
On April 30, South Korean officials told The Korea Times and YTN TV that North Korea’s test of a medium-range missile on April 29 was not a failure, as widely reported in the world press, because it was deliberately detonated at 72 kilometers altitude. 72 kilometers is the optimum burst height for a 10-Kt warhead making an EMP attack. …

This is VERY IMPORTANT, and I hope everybody is paying attention.
ReplyDeleteOur previous administration(s) have left us very vulnerable to such an attack, and made it easy to accomplish.
I wouldn't say we are defenseless against it, but we had better be ready.
Each time his missile tests have failed he has had the person in charge of the launch executed.That makes at least 6 so far.Kim was so furious with one of the engineers that he had him executed/shot with a cannon.If the info regarding the missiles being hacked is correct I don't doubt this post whatsoever.An EMP it will be.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the engineers should aim the missles at Kim jun im.ILL.
DeleteAnd you know this how?
Deleteim just happy to have 2 vehicles and a boat that will all work after a EMP.
ReplyDeleteNo modern electronics in them. No computer chips/sensors. Distributor cap ignition and one diesel powered.
ReplyDeleteLoad of crap. If this were the case we'd of launched a projectile into them already. Fear mongering and a man who wants his 15 mins
