I would think that Israel is the only threat Iran is planning to
neutralize. Those POS Chinese missiles are no threat to anyone in the
Western Hemisphere.

My Start Page, when I open Internet Explorer, is actually a page of popular
links in table form that I made using Microsoft Word, and the page is
stored on the drive. It works out nice, opens very quick, and doesn't call
for a connection when Internet Explorer is opened. I have animated images
dispersed throughout the page to give it life.

World Net Daily used to be one of the links on the start page, but no more.
I deleted it sometime ago and have never regretted it. This article shows
why.

Obviously we live in a very large country, maybe they could pull this off
over a country of insignificant size, but not the U.S.

I have relegated World Net Daily to the usual source of Neo-Con news
available in so many places.

The real scary thing about it is,It could happen.China and North Korea
and other rogue states/countries are getting better and better at
building long range intercontinental missiles.I still Say World Net
Daily is a Good news website.But,to each their own,I always say.

Actually, the idea of terrorists detonating a nuclear bomb over the US
to wipe out solid state technology dates from 2000, when it was used as
the premise in a TV show called Dark Angel. In the show, "terrorists"
detonate a nuclear bomb "80 miles" above the US in 2010, wiping out all
solid state technology and turning the country into an impoverished
third world country that's a cross between a fascist state (not quite
Nazi Germany; maybe Franco's Spain) and a banana republic. The show is
set in 2019 and follows the efforts of a rich dissident and a
genetically engineered superhuman (Michael Weatherly and Jessica Alba,
respectively, who married in real life during the show's run) to
overthrow the corrupt and oppressive postapocalypse government. Dark
Angel lasted two seasons, but the cost of recreating a postapocalypse US
week after week took its toll and the show was canceled due to sticker
shock on the part of Fox execs. I see that the idea of using a nuke to
bring the US to its knees in this manner hasn't gone away. It's gone
from fiction to conspiraloon "fact".

Uh ohhhhh .. I've been told that even my R4c has some solid state
parts.

Might be time to dust out the SP-600JX.

Whatcha got, Bro. Lawrence?

Wouldn't want you left outa the SWL-ing frenzy that is sure to follow
"the big bang".

There is nothing new here. Why do you think our country has been running
fiber-optic cable underground, and Apple's iPod has an all metal back on it!

If you seriously believe the validity of the daily lineup of
utter bullshi+ that appears on WorldNetDaily
then I guess you also believe the 'news stories'
reported in tabloids like the Weekly World News.....

Start buying dried beans and rice and peas and corn and fruit and eggs
and powered milk and water purifiers now! The Sky is falling! the Sky is
falling! and don't forget boys and girls,, Buy Gold! Buy Gold! Buy Gold!
and head for the Hills! The Sky is falling! the Sky is falling! and the
three millimeter GIANT Tsunamie waves are coming! We are Doomed! We are
Doomed! the World is coming to an End! Hurry,Hurry Hurry! before it is
too late!

Meh... if the world really was coming to an end, why bother? If it ends for
me, it ends for thee.

No doubt. What do these boneheads think will happen to Iran or anyone else
who does that? Do ya think maybe Iran knows it would be a parking lot as
soon as we found a missle to launch? No world government is stupid enough to
do that. Terrorists would certainly try it though. Yet another great reason
to tighten up the borders.

If China did that,their economy would come to a fast Halt! immediately!
and they know it too.So does Russia.North Korea? I don't think they have
much of an economy anyway.

indeed, surely it would take quite a few bombs to cover the U.S.

if it did happen i think the government would resort to web.tv boxes to
communicate.

If you want something to worry about then consider the possibility of
an asian version of the EU. Imagine China and India as the center of a
regional economic unit that could dwarf the EU once it got going. That
unit aligned against Japan and the U.S. would quite a force. Is there
room for two AU organizations - one in Africa and one in Asia?

"Is Iran planning on detonating an A-Bomb high over the US to cripple

JS Yes, and the Russians are still secretly massed just within the
Mexican border, waiting for the opportunity to invade the U.S. The
time for survivalists to react is now...not later. Hoard those cases
of canned food, drums of water, boxes of ammunition, tube radios and
handcrank generators in the Montana forest. I have a special going
this week on old radios...just send your checks to my numbered overseas
account.

Cuhulin, I would indeed be more worried about China or North Korea than
Iran, though I don't believe that a single weapon would be effective.

Follow Roscoe Bartlett's work and you may be surprised.

Just *one* 100-kt fission device, detonated over Omaha,
would be enough to render 80% of the nations electronic
communications capability inert.

EMP was more of a threat before high-density ICs. The interconnecting
wires must be of significant length to devlope a high enough voltage
to hurt the juctions.

I'd say this is just more fascist scare tactics. Grow a pair.

Fiber Optic,Fiber Optic is the way to go.The more the better.Or does
that make any sense? I saw a website a few days ago about a company
which sells Fiber Optic cables if anybody wants the URL of the website.I
think I emailed it to myself.

Two or three years ago,either Popular Science or Popular Mechanics
magazine had an article about electro magnetic devices that could be

Actually it dates from the late 1950's or early 1960's when they detonated
a bomb several hundred miles above Johnson Atoll and blew out street
lights in Hawaii 700? miles to the north.

Only about one or two percent of the bomb's energy is converted to
the EMP. It come from the interaction when the X-ray wavefront of the
explosion slams into the atoms in the upper atmosphere, and the displaced
electrons get jerked. Add in the earth's magnetic field and you end up
with a pulse generated in a pancake shaped area about 1000 miles across
(depending on the altitude of the explosion). This pulse has a very
short risetime, under 100 nanoseconds and then tails off over several
microseconds.

But the key point is that you need an antenna that picks it up.
If the antennas (intended or accidental) are short enough, they won't
collect enough energy to harm the equipment. And the equipment has to
be sensitive in the first place. Pretty much like dealing with nearby
lightning strikes.

Recently, I picked up an old tube-type AM/clock Philco radio. I only
purchased it because it was in pristine shape, and they were
practically giving it away. The clock-face doesn't light up, but it
performs otherwise as new. In regards to any dire-straights type
scenario, food, shelter, water, and such would be of priority. Any
listening device might give useful clues as to the state of things in
general. Darren
