I’m talking about what some experts are calling a “solar Katrina” – an EMP blast from solar storms … (expected anytime within the next few years, by the way) … that could conceivably take down the entire U.S. power grid for months or years. An EMP event could come from a weapon.
Congress is so worried about an EMP disaster that they actually created a special commission to investigate what could happen. Their conclusions should alarm you. In the Commission’s official report, it was stated thus:

“Within two months of an EMP attack or a massive solar flare, between two-thirds to 90 percent of the U.S. population would perish.”

“Water, sewer, and electrical networks would fail. Food would rot, medical services would collapse, and transportation would become almost non-existent.”
