VERY Disturbing....

[Aquila]

I find the thought very disturbing.

I find the idea that anyone takes the Media arm of the Unification's Anti North Korea publication seriously

It completely fried the electronics aboard the relay satellite. It took a couple of weeks for the service companies to secure services using other satellites and reroute the pager signals through them.

The satellite, however, could not be fixed or salvaged.

Yes that is disturbing. Im just as disturbed about the huge damage China, Russia, Pakistan, Iran and others could possibly do to America. Really all it would take in an all out war is one hour and millions could die. Our high tech society could be brought to nothing in this scenario. What is really shocking is that most Christians dont even realize these things WILL come to pass.

Lastly, any ICBM launched from North Korea and heading towards the US will be blown out of the sky before it reaches it's apex by our Aegis Missile Defense

EMP's can be produced by briefcase sized nuclear devices. While everyone is looking up, it might be a good idea to occasionally look down and side-to-side. The device needs to be exploded at a low level height within a couple thousand feet.

The devastation is caused by ruining the electronics. They don't just go off-line and need to be rebooted. The EMP fries them.

And that was with pagers. Now, we rely heavily on all kinds of mobile devices, texting, IM, wireless everything. If that happens today...WOW...just...WOW!!!

And there goes worship service with our video projectors and songs up on the wall...back to hymnals and traditional songs.

No. a Briefcase Nuke would not produce an EMP. It would just kill lots of people in a small area.

EMP attacks are produced by high altitude detonations particularly if they are going to affect the entire nation.

EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) Bombs An electromagnetic pulse EMP is a byproduct of detonating an atomic bomb above the Earth’s atmosphere. When a nuclear weapon is detonated in space, the gamma rays emitted trigger a massive electrical disturbance in the upper atmosphere. Moving at the speed of light, this overload will short out all electrical equipment, power grids and delicate electronics on the Earth’s surface. In fact, it would take only one to three weapons exploding above the continental United States to wipe out our entire grid and transportation network. It might take years to recover from, if ever.

EMP's, even from a large nuclear explosion, would not fry small hand held electronics that did not happen to be plugged into an outlet at the time. It requires a fairly large surface area of wires to absorb the necessary energy to cook the small components in a smart phone, tablet, or laptop. If the EMP energy WAS strong enough to fry everything then it is most likely that the bomb itself was close enough for the explosion itself to do all the damage required.

And if it was close enough it would not affect the entire US...

But seriously..why is Aquila worried over what appears to be an OpEd piece by the media propaganda wing of the Unification church???

Not a reputable news outlet anywhere in sight covering it. All prophecy sites. Gotta pay the bills I guess.
