Congressional Expert: North Korea Prepping EMP Catastrophe Aimed At U.S. Homefront

Breitbart – by Aaron Klein

TEL AVIV – While the international community and news media focus on North Korean missile tests and the country’s nuclear program, one expert warned on Sunday that North Korea may be secretly assembling the capability to take out significant parts of the U.S. homeland via an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack.

Dr. Peter Vincent Pry is executive director of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security and is the chief of staff of the Congressional EMP Commission.  

Speaking on this reporter’s talk radio program, Pry pointed to two North Korean satellites that are currently orbiting the U.S. at trajectories he says are optimized for a surprised EMP attack. “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio” is broadcast on terrestrial radio on New York’s AM 970 The Answer and NewsTalk 990 AM in Philadelphia and online.

Pry was referring to the KMS 3-2 and KMS-4 earth observation satellites launched by North Korea in April 2012 and February 2016 respectively.

He warned: “They are positioning themselves as sort of a nuclear missile age, cyberage version of the battleship diplomacy in my view. So that they can always have one of them (satellites) very close to being over the United States or over the United States.

“Then if a crisis comes up and if we decide to attack North Korea, Kim Jong Un can threaten our president and say, ‘Well, don’t do that because we are going to burn your whole country down.’ Which is basically what he said. I mean, he has made threats about turning the United States into ashes and he connected the satellite program to this in public statements to deter us from attacking.”

“If you wanted to win a New Korean war,” added Pry, “one of the things you would certainly consider doing is taking out the United States homeland itself.”

Pry surmised the North Koreans may be taking the idea from a Soviet plan during the Cold War to attack the U.S. with an EMP as part of a larger surprise assault aimed at crippling the U.S. military.

“During the Cold War, the Russians had a secret weapon they called a fractional orbital bombardment system,” he explained. “And the idea was to do a surprise EMP attack against the United States by disguising a warhead as a satellite. Because a satellite trajectory is different from an ICBM trajectory that is aiming to go into a city. You know, for accuracy on an ICBM you launch it on a lower energy, 45-degree angle that follows a classic ballistic trajectory. Like a rifle. To land your missile on a city.”

Pry continued of the original Russian plan:

But if you put a satellite in orbit it follows a different trajectory. It doesn’t have accuracy but it puts the satellite up there so that it stays in permanent orbit so it looks different in terms of the trajectory. And guys watching their radar screens tend not to get alarmed when they see a missile being launched on that satellite trajectory. Because they assume it is for peaceful purposes. …

So, the idea was to put a nuclear weapon on a satellite. Launch it on a satellite trajectory toward the south so it is also flying away from the United States. Orbit it over the South Pole and come up on the other side of the earth so that it approaches us from the south.

Because we didn’t during the Cold War and even today we still don’t have ballistic missile early radar warnings looking south. We don’t have any national missile defenses to the south. We are blind and defenseless to the south. We can’t see anything coming from that direction. Then when this gets over the United States you light it off so that it does an EMP attack.

Pry stated that in the Soviet plan, “They were mainly interested in paralyzing our strategic forces, our strategic command and control and communications so that we couldn’t talk to our forces. Maybe take out some of the forces themselves. And that would give them time to then launch their mass attack across the North Pole to blow up our ICBMs. So, kill them once with the EMP. Kill them twice by blasting our bases by using their long-range missiles. That was the Russian plan. But the cutting edge of the plan was this surprise EMP attack.”

North Korea, by contrast, “doesn’t have enough missiles or sophisticated missiles to blow up our missile bases and bomber bases. What they seem to be doing with the satellites is the EMP part of the Soviet plan.”

“I think what they are mainly going for is the unhardened electric grid,” Pry surmised. “Transportation, communications, all of the other civilian critical infrastructure that we depend upon to keep our population alive.”

Pry spotlighted recent North Korean nuclear and missile tests minimized by the news media for reported failures. When viewed through the lens of potential preparations for an EMP attack, Pry warned, the tests were actually successes.

Pry wrote about some of those tests in a Newsmax piece last week:

I am looking at an unclassified U.S. Government chart that shows a 10-kiloton warhead (the power of the Hiroshima A-Bomb) detonated at an altitude of 70 kilometers will generate an EMP field inflicting upset and damage on unprotected electronics. …

On April 30, South Korean officials told The Korea Times and YTN TV that North Korea’s test of a medium-range missile on April 29 was not a failure, as widely reported in the world press, because it was deliberately detonated at 72 kilometers altitude. 72 kilometers is the optimum burst height for a 10-Kt warhead making an EMP attack. …

According to South Korean officials, “It’s believed the explosion was a test to develop a nuclear weapon different from existing ones.” Japan’s Tetsuro Kosaka writes in Nikkei, “Pyongyang could be saying, ‘We could launch an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack if things get really ugly.’”

“The April 29 missile launch looks suspiciously like practice for an EMP attack,” Pry wrote. “The missile was fired on a lofted trajectory, to maximize, not range, but climbing to high-altitude as quickly as possible, where it was successfully fused and detonated — testing everything but an actual nuclear warhead.”

This weekend, an editorial published in the North Korean state-run media agency KNCA threatened the White House would be “reduced to ashes.”

The same news agency warned last week that “any military provocation against the DPRK will precisely mean a total war which will lead to the final doom of the US.” DPRK stands for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, or North Korea.

  1. Congressional Expert: ‘jews’ Prepping EMP Catastrophe Aimed At U.S. Homefront to be Blamed on North Korea

    I don’t think nukes work. Just more ‘jew’ fear-porn to keep the MIC black-holing funds stolen outright from tax-slaves.

    -flek

  2. I’m fairly skeptical of these EMP claims. They sound like fearmongering to me. But if NK did do something like this to the US, a part of me thinks they’d be doing us a favor.

  3. WHAT in the HELL is a “Congressional Expert”!!

    This is a 2 x 4 to the head moment, I think.

    Talk talk talk = blah blah blah.

    Ode to the kings of BS

  4. Seriously, it doesn’t take a Congressional expert to see that if North Korea had the capability to launch a nuke, a bomb or even an EMP, they would have done it by now.

    This whole war-mongering rhetoric is just that. All designed to keep the war machine going and keep people in pointless fear whether it be for ratings, money and/or control.

    Bottom line is that North Koreans are starving, tortured, deprived, barely have enough money to put food on their table and barely have enough power to keep their businesses going every day without blacking out mid-day. Even if they have missiles and military technology, none of them have the education, stamina, or survivability to do anything with them or to attack another country. It’s all propaganda. For all we know, the US and South Korea could be the ones doing all of the attacking on our own people (false flag style) in order to get people riled up to attack North Korea for the sake of occupying them and installing their own Zionist Jew government and Central Bank. 9/11 all over again.

    Just my take on it.

  5. Speaking of EMPs and false propaganda.
    Here’s a whopper for ya.
    I am currently designing a hand held EMP device.
    Like a stun gun that runs off a 9v battery.

    When completed…I will publish the blueprints that can be downloaded and printed on a 3D printer.

    I already have uses planned for it.

    Everytime they summon me for court.
    I just emp the court house when I show up.
    Then when they send me another threatening letter for a new court date.

    I show up on the date and emp the courthouse again.

    Hey …how can I show up for court rape..if I can’t get past your security checkpoints. Cause for some odd reason they’re always down when I show up.

    I suggest some garage electrical home engineer…starts to develop this item before I do.

    Oh …the fun we could have.

    I could get a cart full of groceries at KrogerMart.
    Then when it’s time to pay…
    I just emp the whole store…
    Then while they’re frantically trying to figure out why all the registers are down.

    I casually pry open the front doors and put my food in the truck.
