Dr. Pry estimates that in an emp power blackout that lasts one year: ‘we could lose up to 90% of our population to starvation, disease and societal collapse”

Caught a few minutes of Dr. Peter Pry being interviewed last night related to the possible impact of an electromagnetic pulse bomb attack on the USA. The transcript is now online. Here are some key parts of it:

You’re the Executive Director of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security, this electromagnetic pulse, EMP and other threats on an accelerated basis, Director of the United States Nuclear Strategy Form and Advisory Board to Congress on policies to counter weapons of mass destruction. …

You were an intelligence officer with the CIA responsible for analyzing Soviet and Russian nuclear strategy and operational plans including EMP threats. So, let’s begin at the beginning. What’s EMP?

PRY: Electromagnetic pulse is basically a super energetic radio wave. It’s got so much power that it can destroy electronics across a huge area. In fact, across the entire world in the case of a super storm, a solar super storm, the EMP can be made by nature, by the sun, by a solar super storm or it can be made by man via nuclear weapon and it can be made by nonnuclear weapons as well. …

You know, all of our computers, our control systems, your cell phones basically operate on that simple switch and there are millions of times more vulnerable to EMP than this crude piece of instrumentation.

And that would put our civilization at risk if we had a natural EMP from the sun like the solar super storm over a nuclear EMP attack happen to put all of North America under that …

Big transformers, the size of a house that weighs hundreds of tons. There’s about 2,000 of them in the North American grid, and most people don’t know it but they start the foundation stones of our modern electronic civilization.

We cannot survive as a society without them. They enable us to take electricity from Niagara Falls for example and drive it all the way down to New York City where there is another big transformer at the end of the line that steps that down so it can be used locally. …

We have a small number of replacement transformers, less than 1% in reserve, and in part that’s because it’s so difficult to replace them. They weigh so much and they’re so big, there’s only three railway cars in the country that can move an EHV transformer. Bridges have to be reinforced, roads have to widened, and that’s assuming that the society is intact and you haven’t lost other parts of the infrastructures as would be the aftermath of a catastrophic EMP. …

LEVINE: And when you start to think of electricity, everything we do is associated with electricity, isn’t it? Even if you try and fill up your car, the gas station, the pump, electricity. Everything we do is related to electricity, no?

PRY: Absolutely. All the critical infrastructures depend upon it. Communications, transportation, banking and finance. We did an experiment on the Commission and I just — I went to a grocery store and picked up an apple and I wondered how did this apple get on this grocery store in the Washington, DC area? You know, the simple apple? And tracing the history of that apple, it turns out it was grown in an orchard in Washington. It was harvested mechanically, it was cleaned and packaged mechanically using electronic systems and electronic assembly belts.

It was put on a refrigerated truck and then drove across the country so that people locally in Washington DC could eat the apple. So, even the simple apple depends upon hundreds of electronic systems in order to deliver it to us. And we wouldn’t have the apple or any other food.

In fact, there’s only in a 30-day food supply in the country to feed 320 million people. And water would stop immediately. You know, when you turn on the tap, it requires millions of volts in order to deliver that water through your tap, and the Commission couldn’t figure out how would we keep 320 million people alive, no food, no water, possibly for years?

We estimate if we had a blackout in this country that lasted one year and that’s entire possible in these scenarios that we’re talking about, we could lose up to 90% of our population to starvation, disease and societal collapse.

LEVINE: Suppose, we wouldn’t be able to function, we won’t be able to get to hospitals.

PRY: That’s right. You know, the most fundamental things wouldn’t work anymore. In the case of a nuclear EMP attack, your car could be fried, or planes would fall out of the sky. Nuclear reactors — we could go to Fukoshima, we have got 100 nuclear reactors in this country and they need electricity in order to keep themselves cool. http://www.foxnews.com/transcript/2018/04/22/what-threats-face-americas-electrical-grid.html

If the USA were hit by an effective EMP (electromagnetic pulse) weapon, this would be more devastating than many believe.

The tremendous amount of debt that the USA has would also make this more difficult, for if the USA could not pay its debts when it was doing relatively well, who would want to lend it supplies when it has even less ability to repay,

Here is something to consider from my book Donald Trump and America’s Apocalypse:

The debt situation of the U.S.A. is putting it at risk of being unable to recover should it be hit by weather problems, terrorist acts, war, riots, solar flares, severe earthquakes, civil unrest, devastation of their genetically-modified food supplies, food shortages, and/or various pestilences–an intensity of “sorrows” such as Jesus discussed in Matthew 24:4-8 leading up to the time of the Great Tribulation. Political issues, climate change, trade policies, communication’s deals, and other events are pushing the U.S.A. to a position that will encourage its takeover someday. Disasters, especially if there is an ElectroMagnetic Pulse (EMP) attack or a severe solar flare storm, could be part of a so-called “perfect storm” of events that could set the USA for destruction. (Thiel B. Donald Trump and America’s Apocalypse. Nazarene Books, 2017)

The USA will be weakened further prior to the start of the Great Tribulation (Matthew 24:21). Notice some of Jesus’ words:

8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows. (Mark 13:8)

19 For in those days there will be tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the creation which God created until this time, nor ever shall be.

20 And unless the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake, whom He chose, He shortened the days. (Mark 13:19-20)

An emp incident could be a factor in the troubles that hit prior to the start of the Great Tribulation.

Are you ready spiritually to deal with what can happen in the USA? Even if you do not live in the USA, consider how its devastation could affect you and the country you are currently living in.

Could problems with the electrical power grid caused by one or more electromagnetic pulse bombs, solar flares, and/or other phenomena help weaken the USA to the point of allowing it to be taken over?

Is there evidence in scripture that the USA will be taken over in the 21st century? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more in this video.
