Posted 14 Oct 2017 by janneseti Post: EMP will only affect that which is connected & in use. For that which is not hardened against EMP, your early warning system "should" give enough time to have that which is not protected against it to be disconnected. The power grid and internet lines are always connected and in use. There is no warning system that could disconnect or shut down grids or lines in the event of EMP. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/understanding-north-koreas-emp-threat_us_59ae115de4b0bef3378cdad9 The killing mechanism of such an attack is “elegantâ€; that’s my Cold War analyst past showing up as an encapsulating term. The EMP burst’s objective is to saturate the US power grid underneath it with energy flowing into the wiring. The goal is to burn out a portion of the three hundred or so high voltage transformers that link the US together as an industrial age economy. By burn out, that means causing the melting of the transformer cores rendering them useless. Repairing such damage is cumbersome. There is only one plant that manufactures these types transformers in the US and it does not even make the biggest ones needed for the US grid backbone. These have to come from factories in Europe or China and there’s a multi-year backlog for them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxi1DJUDxtQ |

Posted 12 Oct 2017 by janneseti Post: Slightly different school books in NK, which include, among other things, math examples of how schoolchildren shoot at American imperialists and the number of jailed Japanese. From how first graders are taught math. In a battle the soldiers of the People's Army killed 374 heinous US imperialists. |

Posted 11 Oct 2017 by janneseti Post: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41584194 US President Donald Trump has raised the prospect of challenging media licences for NBC News and other news networks after unfavorable reports. Whatever happened to the US First Amendment? It is usually totalitarian leaders that threaten to shut down TV companies due to government-critical surveillance! |

Posted 10 Oct 2017 by janneseti Post: Does the IRA do any terror attacks anymore? I don't think so. But DAESH, داعش ... Since the romanization of Arabic is typically based on pronunciation rather than spelling, some confusion may arise from several letters of the English acronym not matching any initial letters of the Arabic transliteration. If this bothers you, feel free to pretend it stands for Dumb A**hole Extremist Shi'a Haters instead. Uncle Muhammad Wants You. |

Posted 8 Oct 2017 by janneseti Post: I will probably be around when the first nuke device in war explodes:( Correct. My mistake. Which reminds me of a other documentary where a person first survived Hiroshima and managed to escape to Nagasaki. When he reported back to his boss in Nagasaki after the Hiroshima bombing the second bomb came! |

Posted 8 Oct 2017 by janneseti Post: Today it's not about how big a nuclear weapon can be. It's about miniaturizing the weapons so one could use it "tactical". Still the miniaturized weapons have about the same yield as Nagasaki bombs. The problem with this is of course that it make it more easy to use. I will probably be around when the first nuke device in war explodes:( |

Posted 8 Oct 2017 by janneseti Post: The two young women who did the act thought it was about a TV show! You think they knew that they should kill a person. Maybe, but it doesn't make sense to me. The two young women are from Indonesia and Vietnam. And handling the VERY toxic agent VX... They are very lucky to be alive after the act. |
