Sunday thoughts

     Having stepped away for about a week while working in NM and doing a little traveling it has been nice to avoid all the doom and gloom, Damn it's still here though. A man could go bald or gray worrying about all the crap flying about in what we call the news, but still if you keep hearing the same thing time and time again you start to wonder . I just wonder what new scam or ponzi scheme the Government will be coming up with next to placate us just long enough to push it off on the next group of "officials".

       Take the news for what it is worth then do what you feel is right, or left if that's your style but just don't be that person without that proverbial chair when the music stops. I keep saying follow the money, something has to happen sooner or later, someone has to pay the piper. I see that more and more people are just burring their heads in the sand because they just do not want to deal with any of the negativity, well you can lead that horse to water and you know the rest. Sounds like family a little, I know I have some that I will not even bring up my thoughts with because they will look at me like I am crazy, They have total faith and trust in the .Gov. What really burns me is that I am pretty mellow with the whole Prep thing, I have asked family to just make the simplest of plans or just to stock up on a very few basic things and you would think that I was asking them for a million dollars or something. Oh well, my charity will be a whole lot less when it comes to them if and when things get tight.

      In other thoughts I have been trying to wrap whats left of my mind around the recent article with regards to the EMP "electromagnetic pulse" debate and how it will really effect us or if it won't effect us. I tend to think that we will not suffer the extreme devastation that we would have if either Russia or China were to hit us with their Hemp " High altitude electromagnetic pulse" devices. My money would be on a localized or regional event with a low yield device bought off the black market or stolen. Again flip a coin if it will happen or not either way the links below go into far better and deeper detail than I can put here on this blog.

     For what it is worth if an EMP event were to happen here with the dependency that we have in all things electric we would be in deep sh%# in no time. We do not have a reference to go by that people can relate to in recent times. One past example that we can go by is the Starfish prime test from the 60's

 

 

 For a detailed report on the effects of this Incident please see the following site.

In testimony before the United States Congress House Armed Services Committee on October 7, 1999, the eminent physicist Dr. Lowell Wood, in talking about Starfish Prime and the related EMP-producing nuclear tests in 1962, stated,
  "Most fortunately, these tests took place over Johnston Island in the mid-Pacific rather than the Nevada Test Site, or electromagnetic pulse would still be indelibly imprinted in the minds of the citizenry of the western U.S., as well as in the history books.  As it was, significant damage was done to both civilian and military electrical systems throughout the Hawaiian Islands, over 800 miles away from ground zero.  The origin and nature of this damage was successfully obscured at the time -- aided by its mysterious character and the essentially incredible truth."
