SHTFblog.com - are YOU ready?

If you haven’t seen the news reports yet, the Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack has issued its report to Congress. This report has been covered by The Wall Street Journal (“The EMP Threat”), the World Net Daily (“Surviving EMP to depend on preparation”), and numerous other news outlets. These news articles may be fine for the masses, but us SHTF folks, noooo, we need the real deal, we need - the full report!

“EMP?” you scoff. “Bah, that’s cold-war era.” Think again! You don’t need an inter-continental ballistic missile to make it happen. A lousy scud missile launched from a freighter could do it. No need to be accurate, just let the missile get really high and - boom!

Have you read this thing!?

It may be the scariest book you ever read!

I say “book” not report, because this monster report is 204 pages long. I also say book, because I pimped the print to make it available in paperback book! It’s in the public domain. Yessa, 8.5×11 with numerous images and charts. I started reading the pdf and I was like “Holy frig, this thing is good,” but like I said - 204 pages! :-S My eyes started going buggy after about 5 pages, and printing 204 pages with my printer, between paper and ink, would cost almost as much as a paperback, and still not be as good. No pdf compares to a physical, in-your-hands, EMP-PROOF book. Oh the irony, the EMP-proof version of the EMP threat report - LOL. You can’t get a more current, more thorough report on the results of an electro magnetic pulse. Buy it for only $14.95 from the SHTFblog field manual store!

Seriously folks, this report is not your typical, boring congressional report. Oh no, not with chapters like these: Electric Power, Telecommunications, Banking and Finance, Petroleum and Natural Gas, Transportation Infrastructure, Food Infrastructure, Water Infrastructure, Emergency Services and Government. Chapters are then broken down into sweet details. For example, Chapter 7 Food Infrastructure includes these sections: Dependence on Food and Other Infrastructures; Making, Processing, and Distributing Food; Vulnerability to EMP; Consequences of Food Infrastructure Failure; and Recommendations.

After reading this thing I can tell you that an EMP hitting this country would be absolutely devastating! The folks developing this report did more than just write - they went out and tested equipment, power systems, and such. As an example, they tesed 37 cars in an EMP simulation laboratory. The car years were 1986 through 2002. They tested them with the engine on and off. Quoted from the report:

No effects were subsequently observed in those automobiles that were not turned on during EMP exposure. The most serious effect observed on running automobiles was that the motors in three cars stopped.

Not so bad, you think, but think again. How many vehicles are on the road right now? How many of those running vehicles would suddenly stop? How many accidents would happen? Reach for the cell phone and call 911? Ha! Think again. The roads would be completely clogged, communications would be down. Got that “get home” bag in your car? That’s just automobiles for transportation. The report also discusses airlines, rail, and maritime shipping.

Your cell phone is dead, your computer is dead, you can’t go to the ATM, electrical power is gone, food in freezers goes bad, replacement food doesn’t come in, and the ENTIRE country is HIT! Egad! Another quote:

Infrastructure failure at the level of food distribution because of disruption of the transportation system, as is likely during an EMP attack, could bring on food shortages affecting the general population in as little as 24 hours. Massive traffic jams are most likely in large cities, the very areas where rapid replenishment of the food supply at hundreds of supermarkets will be needed most urgently. Significantly, recent famines in the developing world have occurred, despite massive relief efforts by the international community, in large part because food relief could not reach victim populations through their underdeveloped transportation infrastructure.

The report is vast, thorough, and packed with many recommendations that I’m certain the government will NOT institute. Buy the book today and scare yourself shitless. Buy one for your neighbor or anyone else you’ve been trying to get to open their preparedness mind. Buy it - today!

Please note: Lulu book publishing is print on demand, and if you use their cheapest shipping (media mail) it may take a several weeks to reach you.

BTW: Yes, I make a small profit on the sale of each book, but $14.95 is appropriate for a book this size, and damn it - I don’t blog for free! Actually, I guess I do, I just beg for handouts - lol. All support is much appreciated.

Lastly, someone used the Nitro-Pak ad on my site the other day to make an order. Thank you! You pay nothing extra. Ranger Man scores a commission. Good shit at that store. After reading this report I’ll be making a purchase or two myself!
