“America in Danger of God's Judgment”
by Art Sadlier
August 1st, 2008

A top scientist recently warned the House Armed Services Committee that America remains vulnerable to a “catastrophe” from a nuclear electromagnetic pulse attack and that could be launched with plausible deniability by hostile rogue nations or terrorists.

The scariest and most threatening kind of EMP attack is initiated by the detonation of a nuclear weapon at high altitude in the range of 25 to 250 miles above the Earth’s surface. The immediate effects of EMP are disruption of and damage to electronic systems and electrical infrastructure. Such a detonation over the middle of the continental US “has the capability to produce significant damage to critical infrastructures that support the fabric of US society and the ability of the United States and Western nations to project influence and military power,” said Graham.

“Several potential adversaries have the capability to attack the United States with a high-altitude nuclear weapon-generated electromagnetic pulse, and others appear to be pursuing efforts to obtain that capability,” said Graham. “A determined adversary can achieve an EMP attack capability without having a high level of sophistication. For example, an adversary would not have to have long-range ballistic missiles to conduct an EMP attack against the United States. Such an attack could be launched from a freighter off the US coast using a short or medium range missile to loft the nuclear warhead to attack without revealing the identity of the perpetrators. Iran, the world’s leading sponsor of international terrorism, has practiced launching a mobile ballistic missile from a vessel in the Caspian Sea. Iran has also tested high-altitude explosions of the Shahab III, a test mode consistent with EMP attack, and described the tests as successful. Iranian military writings explicitly discuss a nuclear EMP attack which would gravely harm the United States. While the commission does not know the intention of Iran in conducting these activities, we are disturbed by the capability that emerges when we connect the dots.”

Graham reminded the committee even smaller nuclear weapons can create massive EMP effects over wide geographic areas. He also pointed out that the United Nations investigators recently found that “the design for an advanced nuclear weapon, miniaturized to fit on ballistic missiles currently in the inventory of Iran, North Korea and other potentially hostile states, was in the possession of Swiss criminals affiliated with the A.Q. Khan nuclear smuggling network.

Theoretically, an EMP attack is devastating because of the unprecedented cascading failures of major infrastructures that could result. Because of America’s heavy reliance on electricity and electronics, the impact would be far worse than on a county less advanced technologically. Graham and the commission see the potential for failure in the financial system, the system of distribution of food and water, medical care and trade and production.

“The recovery of any one of the key national infrastructures is dependent upon the recovery of others,” he said. “The longer the outage, the more problematic and uncertain the recovery will be. It is possible for the functional outages to become mutually reinforcing until at some point the degradation of infrastructure could have irreversible effects on the country’s ability to support its population.”

America does not seem to be involved in the end time scenario. Russia, Iran, Europe, Turkey, the Mid-east, Israel and the North African nations around Israel, even China have a part to play but not America. America is a tremendously powerful nation, probably the most powerful in all of history. America’s tremendous power is in the way of the events foretold for the last days. Whether the nations like it or not, because of America’s awesome military power, the nations will not defy her. America has betrayed Israel in recent years, putting great pressure on her to give up the land God has promised to her and given back to her in recent decades. In recent days America has been pressuring Israel to give up Judea and Samaria and make concessions in East Jerusalem.

America has also turned away from the light God has given to her. Israel said 2,000 years ago, “We will not have this man to rule over us”, America has said the same thing in recent years in many, many ways. No nation has ever had as much exposure to the truth as America has had. This makes America more accountable than any other nation. America stands in danger of the judgment of God and may soon be removed as a power on the world stage so that the Biblical end time events can unfold. How that might happen is not ours to say, but the potential seems to be everywhere. An EMP attack could quickly reduce America to the status of a third world country.

We need to cry out for America and Canada to turn back to God before it is forever too late!

Looking for His glorious appearing! Titus 2:13
