"Cyber 9/11 - Not IF, but WHEN." ~ Janet Napolitano, outgoing Homeland Security Chief
"Likelihood of Geomagnetic Event Crippling our Electric Grid is 100%" ~ Congresswoman Yvette Clarke

| Two researchers discovered that they could freeze, or crash, the software that monitors a substation, thereby blinding control center operators from the power grid. |
The New York Times 2013-10-18: By NICOLE PERLROTH Over the past few months, there has been a steady trickle of alarms from the Department of Homeland Security concerning a threat to the nation’s power grid, and hardly anyone has noticed. The advisories concern vulnerabilities in the communication protocol used by power and water utilities to remotely monitor control stations around the country. Using those vulnerabilities, an attacker at a single, unmanned power substation could inflict a widespread power outage. And yet, the two engineers who discovered the vulnerability say little is being done. Adam Crain and Chris Sistrunk do not...

Grid take down drill, November 13
Dave Hodges
September 7, 2013
There are very dark storm clouds gathering around the country and North America as a whole. Things are about to get dark, very dark in just a few short weeks. In just over two months, on November 13-14, 2013, the lights are about to go out. Will the lights come back on? It depends on who you ask. Given the past behavior of those in power, it would behoove all of us to prepare for the fact that we could be living for an extended time with no electricity.

Click here for a recent very informative discussion led by Frank Gaffney and sponsored by the Center for Security Policy. The panel, convened in support of the above coalition, highlighted three actively engaged men with a great deal of pertinent experience and their discussion is well worth an hour of your time.
- Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ), who leads the EMP and missile defense caucuses, gave an intense presentation of the nature of the EMP threat and the unfortunately real political resistance for dealing with it—including his difficulty in getting congressional support for the Shield Act.
- Retired Brigadier General Ken Chrosniak, who in his 30-plus year military and civil career has dealt with all aspects of emergency response, explained how our military and civil response teams are completely unprepared to deal with the EMP threat and other contingencies that could lead to loss of the electric power grid.
- Major General Robert B. Newman, former Virginia Adjutant General, retired Air Force officer and homeland security expert, focused on the critically important role of the National Guard in dealing with catastrophes and how today they are not prepared to deal with the loss of the electric power grid in particular.
We will continue to support the EMP Coalition while advising citizens and local authorities of their absolute vulnerability against ballistic missiles launched from the Gulf of Mexico—and what can be done about it if only their representatives do their jobs.
We hope our Florida friends will urge their state legislature to follow Maine’s initiative and also harden their electric power grid, while holding the Washington authorities accountable for their oath to provide for the common defense. We hope they also will seek to build Aegis Ashore missile defense sites to defend against ballistic missiles that might be launched from vessels in the Gulf of Mexico, specifically on Tyndall AFB in the Florida panhandle and on Homestead AFB near the southern tip of the Florida peninsula. Since the same Aegis Ashore systems are being deployed in Romania (by 2015) and Poland (by 2018), no additional research and development money is required—except perhaps to prepare specific sites
The federal government is failing its first duty “to provide for the common defense.” Providing effective missile defenses and hardening the electric power grid as quickly as possible should be a top national priority.
And what can you do?
Join us at High Frontier in seeking to alert the public and our local and state authorities to the existential threats posed by both man-made and natural EMP events—and what can be done about these threats.
We need your help in spreading this information to the grass roots and to encourage all “powers that be” to provide for the common defense as they are sworn to do. Will you do your part?
