As PeakProsperity.com’s Chris Martenson explains,\u00a0the country is extremely vulnerable to an EMP<\/strong><\/u><\/a>…<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n

In the past here at Peak Prosperity, we\u2019ve written extensively on the threat posed by a sustained loss of electrical grid power. More specifically, we’ve warned that the most damaging threat to our grid would come from either a manmade or natural electromagnetic pulse (EMP).<\/p>\n

A good friend of mine, Jen Bawden, is currently sitting on a committee of notable political, security and defense experts \u00a0— which includes past and present members of Congress, ambassadors, CIA directors, and others — who are equally concerned about this same threat and have recently sent a letter to Obama pleading for action to protect the US grid.<\/p>\n
