Military Readies Mountain Fortress to Shield Against EMP AttackBy Mac Slavo The government powers-that-be are preparing for continuity under any conditions. The potential for an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) event that could wipe out the electric grid, and with it the society that is dependent upon it, is considered by security experts to be inevitable and perhaps likely in the short term. An EMP can be caused by a solar flare or by a rogue nation using a single nuclear bomb, and it could happen at virtually any time. This makes the threat strong enough for Congress and Homeland Security officials to acknowledge and plan for while acknowledging that the general public are completely vulnerable: Now, the military is making preparations to spend more than $1 billion to move vital equipment and personnel back to the Cheyenne Mountain bunker-fortress. Essential to Cold War contingencies and operations, today, the facility offers a place for continuity of government (COG) to take hold in case of the worst. According to Fox News: The Pentagon has downplayed the idea that it is moving back in, but nonetheless, the focus is revealing about what forecasters see coming. It is being officially recognized as an alternative command center, but that has been going on for years. The military is putting particular focus on protecting its operations in computers and communications equipment, as the Daily Mail reported: Meanwhile, the government has yet to commit to plans to reinforce, replace and/or protect the grid, leaving everyday people more vulnerable than ever to losing everything if and when a hostile entity in any form takes aim at society. But there are many things individuals can do to shield their home, get off the grid and protect their electronic equipment. Even the government security experts are making this point.
