BREAKING:North Korea Is Just ‘One Step Away’ From Launching a Nuke Capable of Hitting America, US Expert Claims

Specialist on Kim Jong-Un’s army has warned the nation is closing in US threat. North Korea has been routinely testing missiles to see if they can reach America.Now the expert believes they are just on obstacle away from achieving their goal.

Last thing needed is to produce warhead capable of withstanding extreme heat .

North Korea is just one obstacle away from developing a ballistic missile capable of reaching the United States, an expert has warned. 

American specialist Jeffrey Lewis said as soon as Kim Jong-Un’s army figure out how to attach a warhead that can withstand the heat of being launched from Pyongyang to Washington DC their mission will be complete. 

The isolated nation has been building up to a position of being able to launch weapons of mass destruction over the Atlantic and has routinely fired test rockets this year.

Mr Lewis told The Sun North Korea ‘almost certainly’ has a warhead capable of being fit onto the missile, and now it’s a case of making the necessary tweaks.

‘The major question now is not whether the warhead is small enough to mount on an ICBM but whether it is rugged enough to survive the shock, vibration and extreme temperatures that a nuclear warhead would experience on an intercontinental trajectory, in which it would be shot into space and then re-enter the Earth’s atmosphere,’ he said.

A month ago North Korea marked a significant step forward towards Kim Jong-un’s regime producing an ICBM capable of hitting the US mainland.

The dictator’s defence ministry fired a missile named Hwasong-12 on Sunday night which soared 489 miles (787 km) reaching a height of 1,312 miles (2,111 km).

The test ‘represents a level of performance never before seen from a North Korean missile’, John Schilling, an aerospace expert, said in an analysis on the US-based 38 North website.

‘It appears to have not only demonstrated an intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) that might enable them to reliably strike the US base at Guam, but more importantly, may represent a substantial advance to developing an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).’

The missile was deliberately fired at the highest angle to avoid affecting neighbouring countries’ security, but had it been launched at a standard trajectory, it would have reached at least 2,500 miles (4,000km) – almost half the 5,500 miles (8,851 km) required to reach the US mainland.

How far would missile have to travel from Pyongyang to reach the rest of the world?

US Naval Base in Guam: 2,114 miles (3,402 km)

Hawaii: 4,727 miles (7,670 km)

London (over mainland Europe): 5,379 miles (8,657 km)

San Francisco:  5,588 miles (8,993 km)

Los Angeles:  5,935 miles (9,551 km) 

Washington, DC: 6,857 miles (11,035 km) 

South Korea’s defence minister said following the test fire the launch shows Kim’s missile programme is progressing faster than expected.

The details of the launch reported by KCNA were largely consistent with South Korean and Japanese assessments in that it flew further and higher than an intermediate-range missile (IRBM) tested in February from the same region, northwest of Pyongyang.

KCNA said the test launch verified the homing feature of the warhead that allowed it to survive ‘under the worst re-entry situation’ and accurately detonate.

The claim, if true, could mark an advancement in the North’s ICBM program exceeding most expectations, said Kim Dong-yub, a professor at Kyungnam University’s Institute of Far Eastern Studies in Seoul. 

The reclusive North, which has defied all calls to rein in its weapons programmes, even from its lone major ally, China, has been working on a missile, mounted with a nuclear warhead, capable of striking the US mainland.

US President Donald Trump’s administration has called for an immediate halt to Pyongyang’s provocations and has warned that the ‘era of strategic patience’ with North Korea is over. 

US Disarmament Ambassador Robert Wood said on Tuesday China’s leverage was key and that it could do more.

South Korean Defence Minister Han Min-koo told parliament Sunday’s test-launch was ‘successful in flight’.

Asked if North Korea’s missile programme was developing faster than the South had expected, he said: ‘Yes.’

Ex-CIA Chief Woolsey-North Korea Prepping EMP Attack On U.S.-North Korea Could Kill 90 Percent of Americans

North Korea is preparing to hit North America with electromagnetic pulse weapons (EMP):

North Korea prepping EMP attack on U.S.

An Ex- Central Intelligence Agency director made some extraordinary claims on North Korea.
That the regime is a far bigger threat to the U.S. than ever, and it might be time for Washington to consider pre-emptive strikes.
Kim Hyun-bin highlights James Woolsey’s words of caution.

The United States should be prepared to launch preemptive strikes on Pyongyang, including the use of nuclear weapons if necessary.
That’s what former CIA chief James Woolsey said in an op-ed piece in the Hill newspaper, accusing the U.S. media of underestimating the threats posed by the regime.
Woolsey, who was director of the CIA during the Clinton administration,… warned that if the North uses a warhead-triggered electromagnetic pulse,… it could kill 90 percent of Americans.
Woolsey and co-author Peter Pry, who is with the Congressional Electromagnetic Pulse Commission,… also listed the possible ways North Korea could attack the U.S.,… speculating Pyongyang could use a bomb-laden freighter or even conduct a suicide mission.

Responding to the assertions,… South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff on Thursday repeated its assertion about North Korea’s capability to conduct a nuclear test… and added something new. “North Korea is capable of conducting a nuclear test upon an order from its leader. Seoul and Washington are monitoring and evaluating the situation. There is also a possibility the regime could conduct a new type of nuclear test.”

Adding to the heightened nuclear threat,… North Korea-monitoring website 38 North… said up to 100 people have been spotted at the North’s nuclear test site. “And in equally worrying news,… many experts believe North Korea could conduct its sixth nuclear test around the birthday of the late founder Kim Il-sung on April 15th.

Kim Jong Uns North Korea Warned Donald Trumps America (Nuclear War)

WASHINGTON – North Korea is preparing to launch a satellite capable of detonating a nuclear weapon more than 100 miles over the United States, creating an electromagnetic pulse that could destroy America’s electrical grid system, a former director of the U.S. Strategic Defense Initiative said…

Former Ambassador Henry Cooper – who was President Ronald Reagan’s chief representative in the “Star Wars” initiative negotiations with the Soviet Union and SDI director under President George H.W. Bush – said North Korea is preparing its Sohae satellite complex for a launch on a southern trajectory, which is said to be a test.

Cooper told G2 Bulletin the United States lacks sufficient anti-ballistic missile defenses in the southern part of the U.S., especially if the satellite turns out to be a nuclear device that could orbit above the U.S. and explode at a high altitude, affecting the lives of all Americans.He said it would be difficult to distinguish a test from an actual attack, and the best way to counter such a threat to the U.S. homeland is to knock out the missile at the time it begins its trajectory over a southern polar route. But he acknowledged such an action would be politically unpalatable.

However, if the North Korean satellite turned out to be a nuclear device and is detonated over 100 miles above the U.S, it could destroy all life-sustaining critical infrastructures that rely on the national grid, potentially leading to the death of most Americans within the following year.

All grid-dependent systems could suffer, including food- and water-supply chains, fuel-supply systems, communications, banking and finance. 

Yes, North Korea is an EMP threat to the USA. I have warned about this for years.  Now, more and coming forward about this.

The real question that you have to ask yourself is: would you be prepared?The second most important question is: are you prepared right now to survive such a catastrophe? 

Canada is also at risk:

Canada and the United States are currently vulnerable to an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack that has the potential to destabilize our power grid, water systems, food supply chain and more…

CIA analyst Dr. Peter Pry’s attempts to educate policy-makers and the military on the need to protect our electrical grid. If an enemy detonated a nuclear missile above the skies of North America, it could take out our grid for months. Countries like North Korea and various terrorist groups have already shown they can successfully launch EMP missiles.

“This is a bigger threat than the classic nuclear war we talk about,” Pry explained during a recent visit to Toronto. “It will kill a lot more people. One bomb will basically end your civilization.

“We’re not just talking about destroying electronics — at the end of the day we’re talking about killing millions of people. But it’s the old fashioned way — through starvation and disease and societal collapse.” …

“When it comes to issues of national and homeland security, this is why we have government,” says Pry. “Even the strictest constitutionalist should be able to support a bill that is basically for the purpose of providing for the national and homeland security of the American people so that a failed state like North Korea can’t kill 90% of our population with one bomb.”

The challenge is the issue doesn’t appear to be a priority in Canada. Representatives from CSIS, the RCMP and Public Safety Canada all confirm that attacks to what’s called “critical infrastructure” are concerns of theirs, but it appears no recent reports specifically mention EMP. It’s unclear to what degree government experts are studying the issue.

How prepared Canada and the USA actually are for this remains an open question, but the risk is great.

An EMP attack could well be one of the ‘troubles’ that could affect the USA, Canada, and/or various others during the ‘beginning of sorrows’ that Jesus spoke of (Mark 13:8).

North Korean politicians have often been playing a dangerous game with their country and their people, and hopefully they will realize that an EMP attack is not in their interests.

While North Korea is not prophesied to take over the USA (Europe is per Daniel 11:39, etc.), as I wrote in the past, it certainly is possible that it may decided to actually launch one or more missiles at the USA in the future (or take other “terroristic actions; cf. Leviticus 26:26).

North Korea, sadly, is certainly capable of terrorism. It has threatened the USA and its White House in the past.

If North Korea does take certain steps to sufficiently aggravate the USA into a full military conflict, it needs to realize that it likely will no longer exist as it is. At some point in time, however, I believe that both Koreas will be reunited based upon certain verses in Revelation, yet whether this will be because of a war involving the USA or something else, that is not clear.

Of course, if North Korea did so, it would not do well once the USA retaliated. So, North Korea is not likely to publicly and direct nuke the USA. But with its despotic leader, almost anything is possible.

The Koreans are Asians and occupy the “land of the sunrise” (Revelation 16:2) and I believe that they are part of the kings of the east that the Book of Revelation discusses having a role in the end time (Revelation 9:16). For years I have written that I expect that they will reunify. The unification of North and South Korea is consistent with biblical prophecy. But North Korea may take unusual actions before then, and it may regret doing so.

And while some may find it hard to believe, North Korea is truly believed to have the ability to knock out a lot of the USA’s power supply with its electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapon capability. Even Voice of America (a news source operated by the US government) publicly warned about it in the past.

---

Disasters, especially if there is an ElectroMagnetic Pulse (EMP) attack or a severe solar flare storm, could be part of a so-called “perfect storm” of events that could set the USA for destruction.

Many sorrows that the U.S.A. will face, like severe weather problems, diseases and earthquakes, will happen irrespective of who is in the White House (Amos 4:7-10; Luke 21:11). 

The USA, despite its military strength, is vulnerable to being hurt by EMP weapons as well as nuclear weapons, chemical weapons, dirty bombs, terrorism, and biological weapons. Everyone knows that EMPs can basically work as advertised, this may give the North Koreans more reason to look further into using them if they feel pressed.

---

This may not bode well for the USA or Canada. Perhaps I should add that Iran and the Europeans also have this capacity.  The USA and Canada may well be hit by EMP weaponry, and there are many places that have the potential to hit them that way.

WAR WITH NORTH KOREA IS COMING.It is HIGHLY LIKELY that WE WILL BE ATTACKED HERE IN THE USA-Here’s How YOU Can Prepare

If war re-commences with North Korea, the US will very likely suffer major attacks HERE – inside our own land. These attacks may come from submarines off our coast, cyber-attacks to utilities, acts of sabotage by Sleeper Cells. Our electric, water and communications systems are all vulnerable. Are you prepared? Here’s how and why you need to take action for yourself and your family.

North Korea has no chance over a long-term of defeating the US. But over the short term, they can do an awful lot of very serious damage to us; damage that would affect YOU and YOUR FAMILY. It’s time to prepare. RIGHT NOW!

In any conflict with North Korea, they will seek to use “asymmetrical” warfare. It won’t be tit-for-tat it will be unusual attacks.

For instance, over the past decade or so, North Korea has successfully launched two orbiting satellites. Both orbit the United States mainland and Alaska every 100 minutes or so. 

Both satellites are in orbit 450 kilometers above the planet, which converts to about 300 or so miles.

The strange thing about BOTH these satellites is that they do not transmit anything. Nothing at all. No radio or TV signals. No data streams. No radar.

So what are they up there for?

Some feel that each satellite is a low yield nuclear bomb with a radio receiver, waiting for the signal to detonate over the United States.

What if this is true; what could such a device actually accomplish?

Well, first of all, if it is a nuke, we would not feel any blast and would not suffer any radiation. It’s too far up to affect us in those ways.

But it’s altitude of about 300 miles is the PERFECT altitude to send an Electro-Magnetic Pulse (EMP) into the Stratosphere. The massive and sudden release of the blast would react with the earth’s atmosphere and cause a sudden “surge” (pulse) of MAGNETISM.

Human bodies would not be affected at all by magnetic fields, we live with them all the days of our lives.

Electronics, however, are another story.

---

First, a little High School Physics:

Do you know how electricity is generated? “The free flow of electrons.”

And how do power companies make the electrons flow freely? Magnetic fields!

In a power plant or even in your automobile alternator, there are coils of wire around a center stem. On that center stem is a . . . . magnet.

As the magnet turns inside (by a steam source in a power plant or a drive belt on your engine), the magnetic fields coming off the magnet cause electrons in the nearby wire to move. THAT is electricity.

Now think about your house, your car, all the electronic gizmos you have. They ALL have wires, right?

Well, if a nuclear bomb explodes up in space, and reacts with our atmosphere as it is well-known to do, the magnetic pulse that comes down to the ground will cause the electrons inside wires to flow. Put simply, the pulse from the nuke will cause anything metallic, to generate electric! A lot of electric. The graphic below from the US Army show the VOLTS along the right column:

In fact, depending upon how close or how far from the detonation you are, the voltage would be from 5,000 to 50,000 VOLTS per meter of metal wire !!!!!!

Every wire in your house, all the plugs on your appliances, all the extension cords you have,  all the circuits in all your electronic gizmos would ALL suffer those types of instant voltage surges – and be fried.  Dead.

 Cars may not work because their electronic ignitions MAY get fried too.

 But that’s the least of our worries . . .

Our Power Grid

Now, think about the United States Power Grid.  All the wires you see on all the telephone poles everywhere.  ALL OF THEM would surge with voltage as well!

On many of those telephone poles are “transformers” which step-down the voltage from the power plant, to a level we can use in our homes.  ALL of those transformers would be wrecked, with many, many of them flat-out exploding.

Worse, in the power grid, there are much larger transformers which feed things like sub-stations.  They would be wrecked and blow up too. 

Lastly, at the power plants themselves, there are utterly HUGE transformers.  We’ll call them “mega” transformers.  Here’s what they look like:

WEIGHT: 884,000 pounds 

WEIGHT:   1 Million, Seven Hundred Thousand Pounds!

WEIGHT: 1,040,500 pounds

They would be destroyed too.

And it is this last item, the MEGA transformers, are a very major problem. 

You see, these transformers are so big, so heavy, and so expensive, that nobody keeps any “in reserve.”  Only two or three companies in the entire WORLD even manufacture them, and when they do, each transformer is a custom job; built to order.

If the world needed a whole slew of such transformers at once, and all the companies worked 24/7 to get them out . . . . they can only produce 130 per YEAR.

Did you get that?  130 per YEAR.

Why is this important?  Because in the US power grid alone, there are about 2,500 of those MEGA transformers.

Do the math. 

If all 2500 mega transformers in the USA were all blown out by an EMP, it would take 20 YEARS to get them replaced.

It is estimated that if such a thing were to take place, that ninety percent of the population in the USA would STARVE TO DEATH in the first year.

WHY?

Think about it.  No electric.  That means no refrigeration.  Food goes bad fast. 

---

No fuel.  Gas stations need electric to pump and more importantly, refineries need electric to refine.  Even if we have the oil, we can’t refine it. No electric means the fuel supply runs out, fast. 

No fuel means no trucks.  No trucks mean no deliveries; of ANYTHING, ANYWHERE.  No gasoline to stations, no food to supermarkets – nothing.

No farming.  No food brought into city supermarkets, no mail, no Amazon packages . . . nothing.

See how vastly and horribly we might be affected?  We’d be thrust back into the electrical equivalent of the stone age!

Many, many, Americans would perish.

So, what to do?

Prepare. 

Get yourself a way to generate electric power.  There are several different ways, we’ll discuss three later in this article: Generators, Solar, and battery Inverters.  We’ll show solutions a bit lower in this article.

If the Satellites with Nukes Sounds waaaaay too far-fetched . . .

Let’s talk about computer hacking. 

Over the weekend of April 8 and 9, 2017, someone Hacked-into the Emergency Warning Siren System in and around Dallas, TX.   At around 11 PM Dallas Time on Saturday night, all the sirens started triggering.  153 sirens in total were activated.

People in Dallas, Carrolton, Richardson and other local areas were all frightened because while there was no severe weather (those sirens warn of tornadoes), the US has just struck Syria with missiles and folks were wondering if we were being attacked back!

---

Try as they might, the authorities could not get their computers to shut off the sirens.  So what did they have to do?  They sent the Fire Department out to all 153 sirens to shut them off MANUALLY.  It took HOURS.

Now, imagine if hackers get into our electrical systems and do the reverse: Shut everything OFF? Hack-in and send a signal to every switch and every circuit to turn off!

Imagine too that, like in Dallas, the utility companies simply cannot get back into their systems to make the power come back on.  They would literally have to go to every sub-station and manually throw the switches, then go to electric pole after electric pole to turn circuits back on.  It would take WEEKS.

Hackers sound too far-fetched to you?   OK, how about simple sabotage?

Folks already know they can look up on the Internet the NINE key power locations in the USA.  If these nine locations are physically attacked, or blown up, power would go down in vast regions of this country for as long as it takes to fix.   Weeks?  Months? 

Who knows.

The point is that if — and when — the Korean War resumes, we must be prepared to be attacked in ways that will make our lives VERY hard.   We must understand that in the event of such attacks, we will have to fend for ourselves.  You cannot sit back and expect  “the government will take care of me” because it can’t.

ELECTRICITY SOLUTIONS 

Generators

MOTORIZED GENERATORS CAN NEVER BE USED INDOORS; NOT EVEN FOR FIVE MINUTES.  THE CARBON MONOXIDE FROM THE MOTOR WILL KILL YOU.

Motorized generators can only be used OUTSIDE your home.

Generators are rated in “watts.”   They usually provide two different numbers: “Start-up” (very short duration) and “Running” which is the real number.

When it comes to FUEL CONSUMPTION, manufacturers get a little shifty.  They tell you that you’ll get “x” numbers of hours on a full tank, but there’s an Asterisk *** and when you scroll down to the fine print, they tell you that “fuel efficiency is based on 50% load.”   So if the generator is rated at 2,000 watts, the fuel rating is based upon only running half that (50% of load) or 1,000 watts!

Here’s how to determine what size generator you need:

Take paper and pen and go to every electric device in your house and read the “watts” on the product label.   Write each item down and its wattage.

When you’re done withe everything in the house that you NEED in an emergency (refrigerator, lights, phone) add-up the watts then look at generators which offer  (at 50% load) to provide that total wattage.

For instance, perhaps you have a refrigerator that uses 1200 watts (when running) and five rooms with one CFL light in each of 5 rooms @ 9 watts each, plus a TV at 300 watts.  You add the 1200 + a total of 45 watts for the lights, + 300 watts for the TV which comes to 1545 Watts.   You should then go buy a Generator with a MAX capacity of 3,000 watts or higher to meet these basic needs, because half that rating (the “RUnning” watts) is what you’ll be using for regular “Running” watts.

Do not be one of the people that freezes and is overcome by fear—you need to move smartly if you want to survive.How to make a Generator at home.Video below.

Solar

Solar is expensive.  But the payoff is that you don’t need fuel.  As with the Generators above, find a system that will meet your wattage demands.

From AMAZON, here are some basic emergency solar generation systems from which to choose. If none of these meets your needs (or budget) click the “Go” Button at the bottom of the solar box for more choices!

Inverters

Inverters run off car batteries.  They convert the 12 volts DC into 120 volts AC.   This system does not last long at all and if you kill the battery, you’ll have to get a jump start for your car to recharge it.  Click the “Go” Button at the bottom for more choices.

FOOD,  WATER, CASH! WATER STORAGE

The overwhelming majority of people in the USA derive their water from Municipal, County or Corporate Water Company Utilities.   Only in rural America do most families have their own well-water.

For those of us who rely on a Water company utility, we need to ask ourselves: What do we do if the water company gets poisoned?  Computer-hacked?  Blown-up?

What do we do for water?????

It is imperative that you have fresh water stored up for an emergency.

Whether you wash-out and fill up used plastic one-gallon milk containers, or used two liter soda bottles, STORE WATER NOW !

Every human requires ½ gallon of water per day to live.   If a human goes THREE DAYS without water, they die.

Much of the water we ingest is actually contained in our food.  But in an attack situation, food may not be readily available.  YOU MUST STORE-UP ENOUGH WATER TO GET YOU AND YOUR FAMILY THROUGH AT LEAST A MONTH.

Do the math:  ½ gallon per day x 30 days x number of persons in your home.

From AMAZON, here are some convenient water storage methods for ANY HOME, OFFICE OR APARTMENT:

Water Filters

If you cannot store water, then you’re going to need to get some from rivers, streams, ponds or even rain.  That means you have to FILTER and DISINFECT the water before consuming it.

FOOD

You need to have enough food to tie your family over if there are system disruptions.

You want CANNED, DRIED, BOXED and JARRED foods as they stay edible for a long time.

Canned foods like: Meats, tunafish, fruits, beans, Soups

BOXED/PACKAGED FOODS like:  Pasta, Rice, Beans

JARRED foods like: Pasta sauce, Jam, Jelly

FLOUR, SUGAR, SALT

Don’t  go nuts storing up a slew of food, just keep enough on hand to tie you over in an emergency for a month or so.

PRESCRIPTION MEDICINE

Some of you take certain medicines in order to live.  Things like Thyroxin to replace a removed Thyroid.  Make certain you have enough supply on-hand to keep you alive for at least a month!

CASH

If we are attacked, it may not be possible to use Credit/Debit Cards or Automatic Teller Machines.  HAVE CASH MONEY;   Not to pay bills . . . to survive!

If the shit hit the fan and systems go down around the country, NOBODY is going to be able to accept your credit or debit card.  ATM’s may not work – or will run out of cash if they do.   Where will that leave YOU?  

Have cash hidden away in the house or somewhere safe.  NOT A BANK SAFE DEPOSIT BOX because they may not open without electric or computers.  HAVE CASH IN YOUR POSSESSION.

WRAP-UP

These are the most rudimentary basics.  In another article later, we will talk about COMMUNICATIONS for when phones, FAX, Internet and Cellular are “down.”
