CIA Analyst Warned Americans About The Real Threat From NK… And It’s Not an ICBM! MSM Silent Again
North Korea is already one of the most dangerous places in the world, and it’s becoming more perilous by the day.
The North Koreans have another offensive option, which they may already be able to execute and would be devastating to the United States – a weaponized electromagnetic pulse.
Former CIA analyst Peter Vincent Pry warned in an interview that while the potential of a nuclear attack from North Korea poses a tremendous risk to the United States, so does the possibility of the rogue regime using its satellites to paralyze America’s electric grid.
An electromagnetic pulse, or EMP, occurs when a relatively small but carefully designed nuclear warhead is detonated in the atmosphere.
The explosion causes what can best be described as a massive power surge, which can damage or disable electrical devices for hundreds of miles on the ground below.
As I told the Senate Committee, such an attack would be catastrophic to the United States because we are an electricity-dependent nation and our grid is ill-prepared to handle it.
He also said:
I am not talking about simple, isolated, short-term blackouts like those which have occurred in New York, Los Angeles, or Detroit. These blackouts could encompass entire regions. Without proper preparation, the grid disruption (and destruction) caused by an EMP could take months to years to repair. Non-perishable foods would spoil from lack of refrigeration. Hospitals would run out of life-saving, temperature-controlled medications within days. Dialysis and other medical devices would stop working. Water systems that rely on electricity would stop pumping water and pipes would burst from the weight and pressure. The cascade of consequences of a protracted regional power outage would be devastating.
For instance, North Korea could make an EMP attack against the United States by launching a short-range missile off a freighter or submarine or by lofting a warhead to 30 kilometers burst height by balloon. While such lower-altitude EMP attacks would not cover the whole US mainland, as would an attack at higher-altitude (300 kilometers), even a balloon-lofted warhead detonated at 30 kilometers altitude could blackout the Eastern Grid that supports most of the population and generates 75 percent of US electricity.
If we know about these satellites why have we not taken them out before they can harm us? Should we wait til they attack us first, then do something or remove this known threat NOW?

I am certain that N. Korea sends their gratitude for this suggestion and the additional satisfaction that an EMP would devastate this country; not to mention instructions on how they could achieve this.
Leave NK alone and stop the posturing on their borders and they won’t bother you! They are entitled to defend themselves if need be considering all the wars and death they have seen US has create in the name of ‘defense’!
