China Spy Balloon Over Montana – Did Joe & Hunter Sell Us Out?

China Spy Balloon Over Montana – Did Joe and Hunter Sell America Out? The latest word from China is saying it’s a research balloon. They wouldn’t dare fly any “civilian high altitude balloon” over America if Donald Trump was currently our President. The world would be safer, and Russia would have never Invaded Ukraine if Trump was president. This thing could set off an Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) crippling our electric grid by exploding a nuke at a high altitude. And Gen Milley is likely compromised!

US Cybersecurity report: EMPs are associated with intentional attacks using high-altitude nuclear detonations, specialized conventional munitions, or non-nuclear directed energy devices. Effects vary in scale from highly local to regional to continental, depending upon the specific characteristics of the weapon and the method of attack. High-altitude electromagnetic pulse attacks (HEMP) using nuclear weapons are of most concern because they may permanently damage or disable large sections of the national electric grid and other critical infrastructure control systems.

Our electric grid is regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the North American Electric Reliability Corporation. The NERC writes grid standards, while the FERC, a government agency, approves the NERC’s standards. This hybrid approach to regulating is uniquely flawed but has had limited impactful criticism, primarily due to lobbyists and profit-making being prioritized over public safety. A consequence of this arrangement is that the U.S. bulk power system is not adequately protected against a strong geomagnetic disturbance or electromagnetic pulse, which are known possible triggers of large-scale, long-term blackouts.

Morning Consult reports: Imagine a power outage that extends from the California coast to Miami Beach, and from Seattle to Boston. Imagine the disruption in food chains, and medical and emergency services. Fortunately, the protection of the electric grid from such an ominous scenario can be achieved if we are proactive, and advanced nuclear power can uniquely contribute to the solution. Recent power outages in Texas offer a glimpse into this much larger risk to our nation. Our national energy grid and the other 15 critical infrastructure sectors that rely on energy are susceptible to common-cause failure. Although unlikely, there are known scenarios that can potentially impact the entire United States’ power distribution for long periods of time. These “long-term outages” could be disastrous and pose an existential threat to the United States. Trump would have shot the China spy balloon down!
