Emp Quotes

I knew Dad was concerned about my past associations. I was from the Trash Alley. It was my community. I hung out with thugs from the Frog Bottom, the Burns Bottoms, the Red Line, the S-Curve, the Sandfield, the Morning Side, and a bunch of other places that shall remain nameless. I knew all of the “Legends of the Hood”: Sin Man, Swap, Boo Boo, Emp-Man, Cookie Man, Shank, Polar Bear, Bae Willy, Bae Bruh, Skullhead Ned, Pimp, Crunch, and Goat Turd (just to name a few). I thought maybe Dad had summoned me as a “show and tell” for the kids in his neighborhood—the hardliner to scare those wayward suburban brats back into reality.

In theory, solar storm activity could act like an EMP, damaging electronic equipment and causing power surges. And we’ve just experienced the solar storm to end all solar storms.”, FADE by Kailin Gow

The best time to act on this was decades ago. The second best time is now.

Mommy says I have to brush each night before prayers, so I can talk to God with a clean mouth.

I don't know where the ideas come from. It's just a matter of us figuring out how to receive the ideas waiting to be heard Muppet Exhibit Seattle EMP Jim Henson

Anyone with even the remotest understanding of EMP and the threat to the nation should have been going insane before it hit.

It was then that a new mantra at EMP was born: “Their perception is our reality.

Folks began to sit down along the curb, leaning against the odd assortment of old vehicles folks had retrofitted to function again after the EMP burst had blown out the electronics.

He was the kind of guy who made Sadie a lit­tle un­com­fort­able. The kind who wore leather and drank beer and crushed emp­ties on their fore­heads. The kind who made her stand a lit­tle straighter. The kind she avoided like a hot fudge brownie be­cause both were bad news for her thighs.

We finally figured out that when you set off a nuke in space, that’s when the EMP effect really kicks in, as the energy burst hits the upper atmosphere. It becomes like a pebble triggering an avalanche, the electrical disturbances magnifying. It’s in the report. It’s called the ‘Compton Effect.

A country can survive its poor leaders, but it cannot survive a majority of its population that continues to elect those leaders.

All it takes is one person to unravel a nation, just as it takes only one domino for the rest to fall.

EMP attack was the ultimate social leveler. Rich or poor, SUV or hatchback, they were all rendered equally useless.

The second jet, however, brought the promise of a third and a fourth. Here was a pattern. Jets are falling out of the sky. The world has gone amuck. A GPS malfunction, an EMP detonation, solar flares, a dozen disaster films, and science fiction plots. My brain is misfiring with all the possibilities but the real one.

number one rule in a sticky situation: don’t panic.

Society is only three meals away from anarchy.

Take away a man’s food, and friends soon become enemies.

Society has been unraveling long before those lights went out, now it’s only going to pick up speed.

Few in our government and in the public sector have openly confronted the threat offered by the use of but one nuclear weapon, in the hands of a determined enemy, who calibrates it to trigger a massive EMP burst. Such an event would destroy our complex, delicate high-tech society in an instant and throw all of our lives back to an existence equal to that of the Middle Ages. Millions would die in the first week alone, perhaps even you who are reading this if you require certain medications, let alone the most basic needs of our lives such as food and clean water.

Stretching forth his sword, Martin picked the crown from Ublaz's head with his bladetip. The thick, garnet-studded circlet slid down the hilt; Martin looked down at Ublaz, who was staring back at him in disbelief, his lips moving. “Nobeast was mightier than me... Emperor... I was... Emp..." Martin looped the crown onto his belt and squatted facing the dying pine marten. "So, yours wasn't the last name I heard, but here's the last name you'll ever hear. I say it for a friend whose kin you had murdered for a half-dozen pearls." Martin brought his face closer to Ublaz and roared aloud, "Holt Lutraaaaaaa!

Three Moonie 65-megaton hydrogen bombs exploded nearly simultaneously at very high altitude. With no air around the bombs to absorb the initial blast of the explosions, and convert the energy into mechanical shock waves——all the nuclear energy blasted out in its electromagnetic form. It was a brutally intense pulse of Compton recoil electrons and photoelectrons that created huge electric and magnetic fields that were MURDER on sensitive electronic equipment at tremendous distances. The electro-magnetic fields, coupled with electric and computer systems, producing huge voltage spikes in the circuits and damaging current surges along all signal paths, fusing precision engineered memory and micro-boards and virtual drives and CPUs into fried silicon laced junk! Nanobots to Nanoscrap in Nanoseconds!

A detonation in space would generate a powerful electromagnetic pulse (EMP) which could knock out electrical circuits and power grids across a continent. America’s EMP Commission, a body assembled by Congress to study such a threat, reckoned in 2008 that two-thirds of Americans might perish in the first year of a societal collapse that would follow a nuclear blast in space above the central United States.

and then crept

How will the function when the entire East Coast, perhaps the entire nation had been brought down by multiple EMP blasts.

but with God all things are possible.

People were so damn impatient. Everything had to be instant. With advancements in technology and a million and one things vying for people’s attention, it had created a new generation of lazy ass idiots who had lost the art of savoring life. If it didn’t work, they

I’ll head down with Sean. If things get hot, I’ll use him as a shield,” he said before chuckling. Sean glared at him.

Everyone wants to blame the government. We praise up the newly elected president, then the day they get in we tear them down. Fact is people just like stuff to bitch and complain about. If they don’t have something, they make shit up. It’s human nature. Yet if you abide by the law, pay your taxes and don’t act like an asshole, life can be pretty darn sweet.

always good to have a backup plan.

She hadn't had a nightmare, exactly, but it left her too disoriented. They were on the road, and, from that point on, anything could happen. She would have to think about staying alert through an attack. Of course, she needed sleep, but there was no need to overdo it when just a few hours of sleep would do. She’d had her time to sleep, even though she had been uncomfortable, so she was going to be up for a while.

Doesn’t matter. You can learn pretty much anything and you’re good at following instructions down to the letter,” Felicia praised. “I’m sure you’d be able to pick it up pretty quickly. And my sister has some nursing experience, too, so she can help you guys out. I don’t want to sleep yet.

On July 31, 2013, an article was written by Paul Bedard in the Washington Examiner titled “Massive Solar Flare Narrowly Misses Earth, EMP Disaster Barely Avoided.

In the previously mentioned article, there is an embedded one hour fifteen minute video that you need to watch. It is a round table discussion headed by former CIA Director James Woolsey and many other high level military leaders and scientists discussing the near miss and the effect it would

Lloyd’s states that even a smaller solar flare focused on the Northeast could have a devastating effect on transformers and affect up to forty million people.

I tucked the knife into one of the pockets of the tactical jacket. If it weren’t for my father’s presence, I probably would have tried to return it to Aaron. Dad had plenty of knives to choose from, and I’d accidentally taken an important survival weapon from the repentant soldier. But if I mentioned the internal guilt to Dad, he would accuse me of being soft once more.

Kate found a sled, a pair of skis, and poles in the back of a van. She grabbed the gear and dragged it back over to Luke. She strapped her son to the sled, found some rope and cord in the van where she’d stashed him, and then slipped into her skis.

In its 2008 report the EMP commission recommended that measures taken by the Defense Department to protect crucial military installations, including the installation of surge arrestors and Faraday cages, could usefully be applied to civilian infrastructure also. The commission estimated that protecting the national electric grid against an EMP attack would cost about $2 billion. Such estimates are easily made in the abstract, but reality is another matter. No action was taken on the commission’s recommendations for protecting the electric power grid.

James Woolsey argued that protection of the national electric grid against an EMP attack is possible, that it is not prohibitively expensive, and that necessary congressional action is long overdue.

She saw it. There was the faintest trail through the woods. The grass and bushes

President Obama's calls for "a world without nuclear weapons" and for a nuclear "no first use" policy and for a nuclear Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty are antithetical to the doctrine of "peace through strength" and looks like weakness.[17]  Indeed, in the context of growing and vociferous  nuclear threats to the United States from Russia, China, and North Korea, Obama's pleading for nuclear arms control and unilateral gestures looks, especially to the bad guys, like cowardice.[18]

There was nothing in the modern world to excite a man, or a woman, nothing except constant and mindless entertainment.

HM Belmarsh prison, or Hellmarsh as the inmates call it, is a category A prison situated in the South East of London. The prison service manual states that Category A prisoners are: “Those whose escape would be highly dangerous to the public or national security. Offenses that may result in consideration for Category A or Restricted Status include: Attempted murder, Manslaughter, Wounding with intent, Rape, Indecent assault, Robbery or conspiracy to rob (with firearms), Firearms offences, Importing or supplying Class A controlled drugs, Possessing or supplying explosives, Offenses connected with terrorism and Offeses under the Official Secrets Act.” In other words, Belmarsh prison is filled with some very bad people. But there is nothing to worry about. Belmarsh is a state of the art facility. High walls, well-trained guards and a system of electronically controlled Mag-locks that secure every door on every cell. Even in the event of an EMP or similar power outage there is a hardened back up battery that keeps the cells secure. The batteries last for sixteen hours. Or until 10:00 am in the morning. It is now 10:01 am. Belmarsh houses approximately eight hundred and eighty inmates. Or, to put it more correctly - Belmarsh used to hold eight hundred and eighty inmates.

Three months after an EMP attack destroys the U.S. power grid, starvation, disease, and the brutal cold have killed millions.

It is our duty and responsibility to leave this world better than we found it. And our world is not made better through war. Our future is not made brighter by the hoarding of power and wealth. And our children will not benefit from a smoldering planet of ash and dust.

I am proudly an American. And while our history isn’t without the stains of injustice, I believe in our capacity for good and our ability and willingness to change for the better. Let our legacy be one of courage and reason, not cowardice and fear. And let us remember the importance of caring for one another and how we are defined not by our differences but by our similarities. Our strength lies in union, not division, and we would all do well to remember it.

The outer and much heavier blast door was on top of Xen, pinning him. He mustn’t have gotten out in time and got hit by the EMP. Using all my robotics expertise, I shook him a few times while shouting his name. I got no response and couldn’t see a reset button.

I mean you are reading this book on a kindle device which would be wiped out if we were hit with an EMP attack.

observation is simply an observation for which a specified outcome has not yet occurred. Assume that data exist from a random sample of 100 clients who are seeking, or have found, employment. Survival analysis is the statistical procedure for analyzing these data. The name of this procedure stems from its use in medical research. In clinical trials, researchers want to know the survival (or disease) rate of patients as a function of the duration of their treatment. For patients in the middle of their trial, the specified outcome may not have occurred yet. We obtain the following results (also called a life table) from analyzing hypothetical data from welfare records (see Table 18.3). In the context shown in the table, the word terminal signifies that the event has occurred. That is, the client has found employment. At start time zero, 100 cases enter the interval. During the first period, there are no terminal cases and nine censored cases. Thus, 91 cases enter the next period. In this second period, 2 clients find employment and 14 do not, resulting in 75 cases that enter the following period. The column labeled “Cumulative proportion surviving until end of interval” is an estimate of probability of surviving (not finding employment) until the end of the stated interval.5 The column labeled “Probability density” is an estimate of the probability of the terminal event occurring (that is, finding employment) during the time interval. The results also report that “the median survival time is 5.19.” That is, half of the clients find employment in 5.19 weeks. Table 18.2 Censored Observations Note: Obs = observations (clients); Emp = employment; 0 = has not yet found employment; 1 = has found employment. Table 18.3 Life Table Results

A country can survive its poor leaders, but it cannot survive a majority of its population that continues to elect those leaders.

Three days ago, Israel responded to the failed Iranian attempt at nuking Israeli cities by nuking Tehran, followed by frying all of the countries’ technology with an EMP about thirty miles above the country. Unfortunately, this also resulted in the neighbors of Iran being affected by this Israeli super weapon, so that parts of those countries are now in the dark. “The United Nations is in the process of sending people to check up on everyone affected by this thoughtless act -this crime against humanity by Israel. As of today, we in the United States, along with the United Nations Security Council, strongly condemn the actions of Israel and we are placing sanctions against Israel, along with a naval blockade. The world community will not tolerate the use of nuclear weapons and anyone who uses said weapons will have sanctions put upon them. While the United States has a long history of supporting Israel through economic and other means, we will no longer continue to do so. As of today, Israel is on its own.

Karimi crossed his arms, and with a look of irritation, said, “I assume Israel detonated a nuclear weapon, causing an EMP that shorted out everything on the surface. Then, as usual, the United Nations says some empty words, and life goes on as normal,” “Unfortunately, they detonated two nukes. The one that fried all the electronics and another that wiped out Tehran,” “So I no longer have a capitol city. You know, that’s really too bad. Besides, I wasn’t planning on basing my empire from there anyway,” “You’re not upset?” Evans asked, not sure he believed Karimi. “Upset? Hardly. Anyway, what did the United Nations do this time? Sit on their hands?” “They put sanctions on Israel and a naval blockade, with the United States Navy providing most of the ships for the blockade. The Israeli’s have already had one ship sunk after trying to push the issue, but they haven’t tried that stunt again. By the way, I took care of the Iraqis wanting your head for destroying Mosul,

After telling them that you were doing this to establish an Islamic Caliphate, they relented. Of course, my giving them nearly ten million dollars helped to change their minds. They informed me yesterday that they’d like you to set-up your new kingdom in Baghdad, after they repair the damage from the EMP. What do you plan on doing?” “Baghdad as my seat of power. Interesting. I was thinking of a location just south of there. Of course, it’ll cost a lot of money to build my city, but I’m sure it’ll be worth it,” It dawned on Evans where this was headed, “Let me guess, you want to rebuild Babylon?” “Why yes, how did you know?” Karimi asked. “Oh, just something I remember about prophecy and the End Times from my childhood. Nothing important. When would you like to leave for Iraq?

In less than fifteen minutes, one of the missiles exploded over Tehran, while the other one released an electromagnetic pulse thirty miles above the country of Iran. Tehran ceased to exist in minutes, while the power went out and electronics were fried in the rest of Iran, Kuwait, half of Iraq, and in parts of Turkmenistan, Pakistan, Afghanistan (not that it mattered there), Azerbaijan, Armenia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and some of the even smaller Persian Gulf countries. The EMP affected the regions by throwing them back to the nineteenth century as far as technology goes, while Afghanistan pretty much remained in the Stone Age.

Survivability is a personal responsibility.

She wants you to tell her she is just going to be displeased, David. She knows you can’t fix everything and it frustrates her when you try. Just tell her it isn’t anything you can fix but you will get through it together.

The super-EMP had greater effect than anyone could have predicted. Engines halted, turbines stilled, even laser systems failed. No air travel. No cell phones. We had plunged back into the early 1800s. -- Lucas Cole, REPUBLIC

He - and Cal - prefer a more generalized outlook on the End Times, recognizing it could come from anything: superstorms, polar shifts, invasion by the Chinese, attack by the U.S. government on its own people, aliens, EMP, God's wrath on a sin-filled world, killer bees. (Chance notes that no one mentions "Rogue AI with a penchant for Greek mythology." He figures someone should update their menu, because it is riding to number one on the charts with a bullet.)

Basically, an EMP bomb is an electromagnetic coil wrapped around a simple pipe device. The detonation of the explosion releases electromagnetic waves in a single strong burst. The pulse fries anything with a computer chip that’s inside the blast radius—and the shrapnel destroys anything else that’s left. The effect is a lot like putting your laptop in a microwave. And then dropping the microwave off a cliff.

This is a terrible idea. He felt like Admiral Ackbar.

SAC created the Headquarters Emergency Relocation Team (HERT), based at the Cornhusker Army Ammunition Plant about 150 miles west of Omaha, a convoy of EMP-hardened command posts mounted on tractor-trailers that would have deployed out into the vast open American West during an attack. Later renamed the Enduring Battle Management Support Center and staffed by the 55th Mobile Command and Control Squadron, the unit’s patch hinted at its Doomsday task: A Grim Reaper sneaking through the night carrying a lightning bolt.

I can’t believe I almost forgot about this one.” Gran pointed to a galvanized steel trash can in the corner. The lid was sealed with conductive tape. “Gramps made it. It’s a homemade Faraday cage. The lid is super tight. He lined it with cardboard and extra aluminum foil on the inside for extra protection.” The Faraday cage would have protected the electronics inside from the EMP. It took a few minutes for Quinn to get it open. She set the lid aside and pulled out a hand-crank radio, a pair of walkie talkies, a couple of LED flashlights, and a Kindle e-reader. “That e-reader is full of reference and survival books. Medicinal herbs, edible plants, wilderness first aid, how to survive nuclear fallout, how to build a spring house and a latrine. And the Bible, of course. The usual beach read fare.

Several figures wearing light scattering masks designed to defeat facial-recognition algorithm stormed about. Some toted phase EMP carronades. The international district of Indianapolis was once the side of town that suffered from benign neglect of city officials. Property values plummeted, money enough to rebrand the area and immigrants moved in. And flourished. Through LISC, the city found money enough to rebrand the area the International District. This grew into the international marketplace, which soon housed several embassies once the nation’s capital shifted to the booming metropolis.

When EMP was up and running, I felt confident that the entire team had my back—literally. Let’s say I was clearing a table and a guest started to engage me in conversation. It’s gross to stand there chatting with an armful of dirty dishes, yet I never wanted to squander an opportunity to connect with a guest. So I’d tuck the dishes behind my back, knowing that no matter how badly my wrists strained, in a second or two, one of my colleagues would notice and be on their way to grab them from me.
