Electricity out = social unrest

[Mattallen0506]

Natural disasters have been around forever. There just happens to be a lot more people now in densely populated areas all over the world. These disasters certainly can ruin lives and throw cities and whole regions into chaos. But I personally think an area would fair far worse from something more sudden, like an EMP or even a cyber attack targeting our precious wallets. When something happens that is quick and unexpected, and we all lose use of our smart phones and our 401k's and the like disappear, that's when people's true colors come out.

All that to say: Be adaptable. And don't be cought with your pants down.

Ask yourself this question, would your own government use a high-level detonation for EMP to prep an urban area for assault during a major incident?

There actually is a protocol for this and yes, they would. The reasoning behind it is that it allows for absolute communications and movement disruption. It allows them to move freely without facing heavily organized opposition.

Cell phones, radios, radio stations, TV stations, almost all vehicles would cease to work, not to mention the power grid.

Do you have a source for this protocol? I think by this point, we would all be pretty established in our bug-out or bug-in locations.

A statement like that is going to need some substantiation.

I agree with the comments above. This comment deserves a tinfoil hat until proven otherwise.
