New ISIS Threat: America’s Electric Grid; Blackout Could Kill 9 Of 10
New ISIS threat: America’s electric grid; blackout could kill 9 of 10
Washingtonexaminer
Former top government officials who have been warning Washington about the vulnerability of the nation’s largely unprotected electric grid are raising new fears that troops from the jihadist Islamic State are poised to attack the system, leading to a power crisis that could kill millions.
“Inadequate grid security, a porous U.S.-Mexico border, and fragile transmission systems make the electric grid a target for ISIS,” said Peter Pry, one of the nation’s leading experts on the grid.
Others joining Pry at a press conference later Wednesday to draw attention to the potential threat said that if just a handful of the nation’s high voltage transformers were knocked out, blackouts would occur across the country.
“By one estimate, should the power go out and stay out for over a year, nine out of 10 Americans would likely perish,” said Frank Gaffney, founder and president of the Center for Security Policy in Washington.
At the afternoon press conference, Gaffney dubbed the potential crisis the “grid jihad.”
A lack of electricity would shut off water systems, impact city transportation services and shutdown hospitals and other big facilities. Fresh and frozen foods also would be impacted as would banks, financial institutions and utilities.

Ah, good ol’ AJ and the fear porn network. Owner of Before it’s neutered…what a great example of humanity this man is. And what an organisation!
Has Alex been down to hijack any real protests lately? Stormed in with the megafone anywhere??
I couldn’t care less if Jones is a shill or a thrill, he’s plain toxic. Nothing this man says has any merit to it whatsoever. His prediction rate is woeful with a conservative 99% fail-to-appear rating, despite him always claiming “he was the first” long after the fact. I mean, nearly all of his stories are written by “experts” in-house with no claims of sources or verification. Just made up BALONEY. Maybe his size is down to all that humble pie KARMA makes him eat in secret?
“Yes Alex…big spoons…that’s it…chomp…chomp…”
