What Will Be the Next Terrorist Attack on America?

There are so many predictions concerning the next terrorist attack these days that it's hard to keep up with them all. Nevertheless anyone who keeps a close eye on world news knows it's only a matter of time before the terrorists strike again and 9/11 should pale in comparison.

Currently, the country's defense organization is most concerned about an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack. Such an event wouldn't initially cause any loss of life but millions would die as a consequence.

A nuclear blast, mid-country, about 140 miles above the ground would wipe out all telecommunications and power which would devastate this country. The probability of terrorists getting a warhead far enough into our atmosphere in order to create an EMP has been somewhat minimal. However, with the rapid development of technology along with growing hostilities, the prospect of an EMP attack on the United States is beginning to worry the authorities as there is no missile defense in place to protect us from it. Just one offshore container ship could accomplish this which would generate a magnetic pulse that could easily disable the country's power grid.

What is the likelihood of terrorists launching an EMP attack? The authorities believe this is their intent and that they have the capabilities.

What would happen as a result?

Most of the country will immediately lose power. Planes will lose all computer function. Automobile computers will shut down and massive numbers of people will be stranded wherever their car dies. Panic will inevitably follow as people eventually begin making their way back to their homes and families.

With so many people displaced there will be much looting of stores as well as homes. Without transportation there will be little if any police protection. Weaker citizens such as the handicapped, the elderly, and women with children will be vulnerable to assault and robbery. Store shelves will empty within hours.

The authorities won't be able to help its citizens as there will be no transportation. They won't even know what's going on in the area because there will be no communication. That means not only the police, but fire departments, ambulances- all emergency departments.

There will be numerous fatalities just within the first day or two as people struggle to get home or get to their families. Many will perish from exposure to heat or cold, depending on what time of year it is. Hospitals will lose several patients such as those on life support and the critically ill. Those who depend on medication to keep them alive will no longer have access to them.

Within a few days, any stores that are left with supplies will be rationing them and a loaf of bread could cost as much as $20 but in many areas, water will be the most valuable commodity. Since there will be no communication most people will still not realize what has happened and will soon use up what food and water they have in their homes, ignorantly believing the authorities will soon come to their rescue.

Inevitably, people will be forced to leave their homes in search for food and water. There will be rioting and fires around all large cities which will soon spread into the suburbs. Many will band together, taking what they want by force. In a situation like this, a gun may protect a family for a while but one or two guns will not stop a mob of sick, starving, panic-stricken people.

At some point help will arrive from other countries and martial law will undoubtedly ensue. There will be chaos in every part of the country and the death toll will be staggering. Under martial law, people who do not cooperate with the authorities will be shot. Many will be taken to FEMA camps, which have already been established. Apparently, the government is anticipating such an event.

Soldiers enforcing martial law will attempt to bring order by taking, by force if necessary, the wandering homeless, anyone without identification, and those who resist. People in their homes who pose no threat will likely have their houses searched. All weapons, excess food and supplies will be confiscated. Any resistance could lead to arrest or even death.

Those in rural areas will fare much better than cities and suburbs. Since there will be no transportation it will be difficult for wanderers to get to them. Persons living near a fresh water supply will also fare better. If an EMP attack occurs during the winter months, many persons in the northern regions will freeze to death.

Is this scenario exaggerated? In this writer's humble opinion, no, it is not. Matter of fact, it is actually understated. Anyone who lives in an area prone to hurricanes knows what happens when even a category one or two is said to be heading in their direction.

The highways become packed and people behave as if the world is coming to an end. Long lines form at every gas station. People flood the stores filling shopping carts with more supplies than they could possibly need for the situation. They push and shove to the point of actual fist fighting over something as simple as the last bag of ice. It doesn't take much to ignite panic in a community.

Why are there so many gloom and doom predictions? Is it possible that we are being desensitized to the point that we no longer listen? Are we being deceived into putting on blinders? Or could it be that our attention is being diverted?

"There shall be wars... famines... pestilence... earthquakes in diverse places... For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be." (Matthew 24)

America isn't directly mentioned in the end times prophecies. Could it be because the United States will be taken out of the equation? Currently, America is the strongest nation on earth. An EMP attack could change that in a matter of moments. We should all be paying attention to what's going on in the world.
