Alarms raised over genuine EMP threat after North Korea demonstration

NKMissile2

byF. Michael Maloof

WASHINGTON – North Korea’s apparently successful launch of a three-stage rocket with a range that could reach the United States has U.S. officials concerned about the Hermit Kingdom’s potential to launch an electromagnetic pulse, or EMP, attack.

North Korea is not assessed to be able to miniaturize a nuclear weapon to fit on a long-range rocket – at least not yet – even though it has an active nuclear weapons development program. 

The concern over North Korea’s potential to develop the capability to launch an EMP attack is due to the country’s instability and isolation and the defiance it has shown – even to close friends China and Russia. Beijing and Moscow have been unable to influence the behavior of North Korea’s leaders.

China already has expressed concern with North Korean officials over the launch, and the United Nations Security Council, on which China is a permanent member, already has condemned it.

After the North’s failed launch last April, the Security Council demanded that Pyongyang stop further launch attempts using what amounts to ballistic missile technology. North Korea has been a member of the U.N. since 1991.MORE HERE

    The point about North Korea is this, bizarrely it exists because we ‘allow’ it to exist. It also has more nukes than the mass media will ever tell you. It’s also a good itch to scratch if you want up the fear level a notch. It’s a bit like the relationship between police and criminals and believe me neither would be able to exist with out each other. We also serve as a warning to the people of North Korea. Can you imagine the kind of everyday things we take for granted that they must look at with total disbelief… Fish pedicures for example or anal bleaching….. They probably think we are as ‘evil’ as they are possibly made to be. I think it suits everyone on the political level to have a North Korea, bizzare but true. If only we REALLY knew. I also think an emp attack is highly unlikely upon the earth bearing in mind the simple size. I’d look more at an attack on the orbiting satellites, bit I wouldn’t be looking to North Korea for that either. There are far more deadly powers at work. But keep spreading the fear about them because I for one am sick of the North Koreans bullying the worlds poorer countries then carpet bombing them. I’m sick of their constant interference in our politics and financial affairs. Damn those war mongering North Korean farmers and factory workers.
    Tell you what would really be nice. Is if we colonised and took over the spun and turned it into one big shiny shopping mall, allowed a few tunnels to remain open between the 2 for some cheap labour to get in and really rub the North peoples noses in it. they are amongst the poorest, coldest, unhealthiest, I’ll educated population on earth whilst their dear leader lives in splendour and enjoys frequent trips to the West and everything he denies his people access too. We watch and fro time to time demonize them, to distract from our own obsessions…..

  • Dumbest movie idea ever in a remake. Hmmmmm how about the North Koreans this time…. since Communist China is now vogue in the eyes of this president, can’t use muslims either……they’re too peaceful and oppressed and the president used to be one.

  • EMP attack……aside from the military aspect….it would play havoc with those government agencies spying on the people. G-d that would be great, those animals would have to answer and in a big way, they would have no way of being forwarned. Life would flourish and grow and the world would be a much safer place. lol

  • North Korea just launched an “equalizer” or you could call it a “peacemaker”

  • Well i’ve got a knife in my kitchen and I could use it to kill someone and then steel keys that let me into a water treatment plant where i could switch the wrong taps on to dump large amount of chemicals into the water system and then why people are dieing i could steel a few nukes and start WWIII all by my little self.

    Sorry but the propaganda in the above reads like a tom and jerry cartoon making 2 + 2 = 29

  • You tinfoil tards realize, NK can’t even feed it’s people…and that the our army outnumbers them exponentially. not to mention out-gun and out sails them.

    Mr. A-hole, you’re an idiot. The North Koreans aren;t carpet bombing anyone or anything. Maybe if you got your shots and didn’t walk around like some sorta of lunatic Typhoid Mary on the fringe, you’d have some sort of clue….moron.

      Err I take it you don’t get irony… Re read my comment you fool. Imagine I’m reversing what you do in the USA to countries like NK. Then imagine that I may actually be more for the NK people than many in the States. do you see it now??? Pah.

    The paragraph should have read as below too, typo. It’s also ironic…. Because it’s exactly what the USA have done to South Korea, alienating the North, in many ways…. Truly I don’t think we will ever know.

    Tell you what would really be nice. Is if we colonised and took over south Korea and turned it into one big shiny shopping mall, allowed a few tunnels to remain open between the 2 for some cheap labour to get in and really rub the North peoples noses in it. they are amongst the poorest, coldest, unhealthiest, ill educated population on earth whilst their dear leader lives in splendour and enjoys frequent trips to the West and everything he denies his people access too. We watch and from time to time demonize them, to distract from our own obsessions…..
