NORAD Worried About EMP Attack On U.S., Prepare Bunker In Response
NORAD are looking for protection against a possible EMP attack, and are allegedly looking at a former Cold War bunker, inside a Colorado mountain, to use as a shield against a possible strike.
Peter Pry, executive director of the EMP Task Force, says, “What it could do, these various threats, is black out the U.S. electric grid for a protracted period of months or years … nine out of ten Americans could die from starvation, disease and societal collapse, if the blackout lasted a year.”
Foxnews.com reports:
Pry said a $700 million contract to upgrade electronics inside Colorado’s Cheyenne Mountain facility may provide a clue about just how worried the military is about the threat
The Air Force moved out of Cheyenne Mountain, which was built to survive a nuclear attack, in 2006, establishing its NORAD headquarters at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado. But that facility, inside the mountain, could offer protection against a so-called EMP attack.
The head of NORAD recently suggested, at an April 7 Pentagon press conference, that Cheyenne may still be needed.
“My primary concern was, are we going to have the space inside the mountain for everybody who wants to move in there?” Adm. William Gortney told reporters. “I’m not at liberty to discuss who’s moving in there, but we do have that capability to be there.”
NORAD spokesman Capt. Jeff Davis pushed back on the idea that NORAD is relocating its headquarters, but acknowledged its advantages in the case of an EMP attack. And he did say Cheyenne has served as an alternate command center since 2006.
