With the help of stolen U.S. technology, China has developed at least three types of high-tech weapons to attack the electric grid and key technologies in a “surprise Pearl Harbor” assault that could send America into a deadly blackout, according to a new analysis.

According to the report from the independent EMP Task Force on National and Homeland Security, China has built a network of satellites, high-speed missiles, and “super-electromagnetic pulse” weapons that could melt down the U.S. electric network, fry critical communications, and stifle aircraft carrier groups.

According to the report, written by the task force’s executive director, Peter Pry, long an expert on EMP warfare, China developed the weapons as part of its “Total Information Warfare” that includes hacking raids on computers.

What’s more, despite China’s promises to attack only after being attacked, Pry revealed new data to show that the communist nation is lying and eager to shoot first with “high-altitude electromagnetic pulse,” or HEMP, weapons launched from satellites, ships, and land.

“China’s military doctrine — including numerous examples presented here of using HEMP attack
to win on the battlefield, defeat U.S. aircraft carriers, and achieve against the U.S. homeland a surprise ‘Pearl Harbor’ writ large — is replete with technical and operational planning consistent with a nuclear first-strike,” said Pry in his report provided to Secrets. It is shown below.

He added that while some believe China’s promise not to fire first, there are key U.S. officials who don’t buy it. For example, he cited February 2020 testimony from the chief of U.S. Strategic Command, Adm. Charles Richard, who said that he could “drive a truck through China’s no first use policy.”

Pry has helped awaken the nation to the threat posed by an EMP attack, either from a military foe or solar event. Once a concern that resulted in eye-rolling by officials in Washington, the Pentagon and President Trump take the threat seriously and are slowly moving to build protections from an attack.

Those efforts come as China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran move to build and deploy the weapons which, essentially, launch a nuclear weapon into the atmosphere to explode and disable electronics below, including flying aircraft.

A report done while Pry was a key member of a congressional EMP commission years ago found that an EMP attack on the East Coast electric grid could lead to the death of 90% of the population within a year from looting, a lack of food and water, and desperation attacks. Even short electric blackouts, such as one in New York in 1977, resulted in looting.

In his new 14-page report, he outlined China’s weaponry.

First is a “Super-EMP” weapon, built with stolen U.S. military technology. It is a nuclear warhead on a missile that could be used against ships and on the battlefield, he said. He cited a Chinese Army news article that said an attack would be like a 21st century “Pearl Harbor.” It said, “a highly computerized open society like the United States is extremely vulnerable to electronic attacks from all sides. This is because the U.S. economy, from banks to telephone systems and from power plants to iron and steel works, relies entirely on computer network.”

Second are hypersonic weapons, including missiles, that can send a warhead at five-times the speed of sound to a target.

And third is the development of EMP satellites armed with nuclear weapons that can float for years in the sky. Said Pry, “The U.S. should be very concerned about a scenario where China uses nuclear space weapons, perhaps ICBMs and IRBMs with specialized warheads, to quickly sweep the skies of U.S. satellites, even at the risk of losing PRC satellites, which could then be replaced with a surge of satellites launched by China to capture the ‘high frontier’ and cripple U.S. military capabilities.”

Regardless, we need to harden our grid... it's pathetic..

It's time to stock up on portable generators and invest in those companies. You'll make a killing.

I consider grid hardening one of the most pressing issues we face. A rare massive solar flare could kill hundreds of millions and destroy our country.

That would happen with a hardened grid. That said, the EMP is is constrained by:

1. The fact that it is a nuclear weapon. Loss of the grid a tertiary concern.
2. The US grid has a higher level of resiliency than most give it credit for because it lacks true unity.

And Joe Biden said the Chinese weren’t our competition....,

Looks like my solar/ wind powered cabin in the hills of Kentucky is looking more and more like a good idea.

Well, one thing the article kinda glosses over.....Its stolen US technology. That means we can return the favor by frying their grid....That hungry 1.5 billion population of China will revolt and take out the Chinese Communist Party within a month without the US putting one boot on Chinese soil.

We are hamstrung by our own ROE and a seditious MSM that go apoplectic if we used such a tactic.

Not if we are attacked first. We also have had anti-satellite capabilities since at least the 1980's. So, we can take out their grid and blind them as well. My point is---if they stike first, a return strike taking out their electric/satellite capability probably ends the Chinese Communist Party within a month or so. They cant launch nukes because the submarine based leg of the US nuclear triad will still be operable and would level China. They have a nice EMP weapons system, but its just a high tech suicide machine if they use it on the US. Where it will come in handy is in conflicts with lesser powers like India, Vietnam, etc....

To me, the system is only designed for use against the U.S. and India. Everyone else China can easily drown in bodies and money. And at this point if China first striked the U.S. with such at device (and it would take multiples to do the needed damage), I think our media would still want us to hold back due to that nations' history with nuclear weapons and feel as if America 'deserved it' because of our warmongering ways.

There would not be any media.
