I also heard the explanation for the attacks that this was the face saving off ramp for Trump from the war. Drop the bombs, not destroy anything significant, make a deal with Iran so that it does not retaliate against the US (not even against the involved planes), declare that the Iranian nuclear programm has beed delayed for several years and declare victory. Later Iran and Israel make a truce to end the war which is having devestating consequences for both sides. Then Iran and Israel both declare victory themselves and the war is over. When no one expects a decisive victory, it can be argued that everyone considers this to be the best solution.

I really hope that this explanation is correct. But without access to classified information, only time can tell you, whether it is.

What's all this about Iran having an EMP weapon?

Iran deployed two super EMP satellites over the US two years ago. Read the link in my article.

In the article I see that Iran launched two satellites. It doesn't say they are nuclear armed. But maybe they are. That's one possibility. It also claims the satellites move from south to north, and according to the diagram that would mean their orbit is retrograde. That's mighty unusual for an artificial satellite.

Another possibility is that this whole scenario -- the US attacking Iran's industrial base, Iran having satellites, Iran seeking nuclear capability, and perpetrating jihad -- is a perfect set-up for a false flag attack. If an EMP attack occurs, God forbid, it would be easy to blame Iran, and just about everybody would believe it, particularly if Iran claims responsibility. But what is often overlooked in these types of discussions is the planning and motivation of actors above the level of the nation-state: the bankers, the globalists, and so on. What do they want? They want to destroy the US, as the US is the biggest obstacle to their forming a one world government. They could easily enlist the alphabet agencies to carry out such an attack, and blame it on whoever they wanted, such as Iran. I seem to remember a term from years gone by...I think "patsy" is the word I was searching for.

At any rate we're likely to see some kind of attack soon, most likely big, and most likely a false flag.

Yes polar orbits are unique to NK and Iranian super-EMP satellites. No they would only destroy the US if we first attempted to destroy them.

Yeah Trump is being played like a puppet by his master Netanyahu. He thinks he is showing strength but he's actually showing weakness.

Just wow! Trump starting a war is by far the worst thing he’s done since C19

The only thing he did wrong with COVID-19 is that he shut the country down for two weeks.

I have several thoughts to share here:

1. I had been urging Trump on X and via email to the White House to NOT strike Iran before Saturday. At times, I used the risk of cyber attacks on our electrical grid as the reason not to. Because of your question as to how Trump would respond if Iran detonated a nuke over the Persian Gulf and this quote: "Iran just needs to disclose the existence of their nuclear arsenal to restore deterrence and prevent further U.S. and Israeli attacks unless they believe that doing so might elicit a combined US-Israeli nuclear first strike", I opted NOT to mention the possibility that Iran already had nuclear weapons and could inflict EMP damage on us. I was worried that in the event he or his staff members read X posts/emails, if he hears that Iran may already have nuclear weapons, that would make it MORE likely that he would strike Iran.

2. Even if we get through this (which it looks like we might now, given the fact that Iran retaliated by targeting our bases in Qatar and Iraq, but with no casualties), Trump is going to have a harder time negotiating your China-Taiwan unification agreement if he opts to do so (it's still worthwhile to pressure him to do it - I have a petition started for that very purpose: https://www.change.org/p/prevent-war-with-china). If Trump were to start talks with Xi Jinping about Taiwan with intentions to negotiate the unification agreement along your lines, I could see Xi thinking "wait, how do I know this is not a ruse so you can defend Taiwan? How do I know that you are not deceiving me the way you did with Iran?" With that said, if you think that China will blockade Taiwan in October of this year, maybe Xi will delay it until April of next year (which would still be before 2027), not because Trump seemingly "exhibited strength by bombing Iran", but rather to allow more time to pull off Israel/Ukraine-style drone attacks at our bases near Taiwan and maybe Taiwan itself in order to pre-empt a perceived intervention from us. It took months of planning for Israel to pull off their attacks in Iran and Ukraine to pull off their attacks against the Russian bombers. As an aside, Marjorie Taylor Greene (who I am generally not a fan of) posted this on X on Wednesday the 18th: "The neocon warmongers are all about fighting a proxy war with Russia in Ukraine, fighting Iran for Israel and protecting Taiwan from China. But could care less that the cartels commit crimes against and murder Americans everyday (sic)" (https://x.com/RepMTG/status/1935324335654195692). I was happy to see she mentioned Taiwan. One commenter responded with this: "We're selling Taiwan out to China too Good to know China will be able to take control of the entire computer industry". I responded by mentioning that advanced semiconductors mean NOTHING after a cyber/EMP attack. I also presented your article on how to negotiate unification with China and Taiwan.

3. What you said about Trump circumventing Congress shows why Defend The Guard is SO important. The proposal was up for a vote in the Montana House of Representatives (HB404), but it failed, somewhat due to Republicans, but very few Democrats supported it. It passed the Virginia House of Representatives (HB2193) unanimously, but the Democrat-controlled General Laws and Technology committee killed it. North Dakota attempted to pass the bill (dubbed HB1315), but it failed 84-10 (only 10 out of 83 Republicans supported it, but no Democrats supported it). South Dakota had the bill (SB82) ready to pass the State Senate, but it failed 29-6 (it garnered the support from only 5 out of 32 Republicans and 1 out of 3 Democrats). Finally, Arizona has SB1495 through the Senate and awaiting a vote in the House of Representatives. The Speaker of the House there, Steve Montenegro, is holding the bill up now. For your subscribers who live in Arizona, they should call 602-926-3635 and urge Montenegro to allow a full House floor vote to be held and send it to the desk of Governor Katie Hobbs. Arizona's legislative session ends next Monday. To close off from this long-winded comment, if North Dakota, South Dakota, Virginia, Montana and Arizona already had this law on the books, I don't think we would have even gotten to this point. If just those 5 states had it enacted, more likely would have done so as well. Even if that didn't happen, Trump would likely still have been forced to seek a declaration of war from Congress to hit Iran, and some of the tanker planes that were deployed to Europe prior to the strike belonged to State National Guards. Also, many national guard members occupy the bases that are in the gulf nations around Iran.

Yeah so far the US has proven to be an untrustworthy negotiating partner under Trump who clearly negotiated for nearly three months with Iran in bad faith while planning to attack them along with Israel all along if they did not unilaterally capitulate to Trump's unrealistic terms on his proposed Iran nuke deal. So your point is well taken. Why should Russia or China trust us to keep our word in any agreement we sign with them. Trump has greatly undermined his ability to negotiate peace deals with our adversaries who now might see war as a more attractive option as a result of his duplicity with Iran. Yes, the whole idea of fighting a nuclear war with China so we can deny them control of Taiwan's advanced semiconductor industry is beyond ridiculous as it would likely be destroyed before they could capture it. I love MJT. She is a great America First conservative. Yes Defend the Guard is very important.

So at this point, assuming armed locked and loaded, what is stopping Iran from detonating one of their two satellites orbiting the earth?

The fact that they are led by rational actors who realize that if they did that, the US still might be able to launch a nuclear retaliatory strike on Iran.

OMG! Your article expresses nothing but fear and terror of what Iran can do to us, especially to the Great Satan, the U.S. and the Little Satan, Israel, and yet your reaction to this well-founded fear is cowardice!

Imagine what an ominous cloud of fear Israelis live under, being so close to Iran, and being a Hewish state, what Iran calls “the Zionist regime”! Well, you agree, at least, that they have a problem and should fight the Iranian Islamic regime!

The Islamic regime is willing to sacrifice Persia, the nation, if in doing so Islam is victorious elsewhere. Persians, too, have a problem with this brutal, misogynist and terrorising regime, which terrorises both the people of Iran and those who it is at odds with.

But because of this victory is within easy reach!

Mahyar Tousi of TousiTV, who is Iranian, said that the Iranian regime has the support of only 3% - 5% of the population.

The Iranian regime claims that 99.5% of Iranians are Muslims. But a non-coercive survey carried out in 2020 found that only 40% of Iranians are Muslims, with young people, especially, being anti-Islam. And, based upon Census trends here in Australia I would guess that that figure was now less than 33%, especially since belief in a religion is not compulsory in Australia, and so people do not feel as tyrannised by religion.

And 55,000 mosques have closed down in Iran. If there are an average of 1,000 people per mosque, that is 55 million deserters of Islamic worship of Allah who do not believe the regime’s lies any more. And if the remaining mosques have reduced attendances, as is the case with churches in Australia, then that is many millions more who no longer believe in the regime’s lies and who hate the regime for forcing Islam upon them.

So, there is a vast, albeit unarmed, subversive army within the country itself, sleeper cells numbering tens of millions of people, dedicated to bringing down the Islamic dictatorship under which they are terrorised and threatened with death for apostasy.

Why do you think Iran is in Day 4 of an internet blackout? Bringing down a country’s internet would be an enemy’s dream come true, and yet the regime has done it to itself. Why? Obviously, because disastrous as it is for the country, the alternative is even worse for the regime.

It is like EMP-ing itself! Imagine how Peter Vincent Pry would describe the chaos and confusion, the loss of functionality, the immobilisation and sense of panic that the end of the internet would cause to a modern society like Iran? There has been a mass evacuation of Tehran, not because Donald Trump said in a Tweet on Truth Social that they should do so, but because, in my opinion, if the panic - there is an internet blackout and not only that, but Israel is able to bomb at will. They have fled a city of 17 million in the greater metropolitan area. And the regime tried to stop them from doing so by rationing people to 20 litres of petrol at service stations. But they fled anyway.

Iran is on its knees already! Give it a gentle tap and the regime will fall from lack of support from within, desertions, defections and uprisings.

I have supported Israel unwaveringly until Netanyahu started mass murdering tens of thousands of Palestinian women and children. I still think Iran is a terrorist regime but now we see that Israel has become a rogue terror state as well which is sorry to see. Netanyahu has created the very existential threats he claims to be fighting to prevent. That is the real reason Israel is coming under attack. If Lapid had been PM instead of Netanyahu, most of this would have been avoided and Israel would be much more safe and the US would not be on the verge of World War Three right now. There is zero chance of regime change in Iran. There is no organized or armed opposition movement and the Iranian regime is not going to surrender to bombers in the air lol.

Foremost, Mr Trump has manifested the US as rogue nation, the worth of the word of it being even less than an investment certificate issued by Bernie Madoff. What WWII is concerned, I kind of hope that some Colonels over at the Pentagon will have the good sense to send over a few Bradleys, and maybe a couple of Abrams for decorative effect, to clear out 600 Pennsylvania Avenue in time. Mind you, Biden was the dregs, but Trump ventured out to new horizons where no one has been before.

Yes sadly, these are the actions of a rogue nation. Of course, no nation is acting as more of a rogue nation than Israel at this point.

Really ? This is the site for The Man from homeland security EMP commission! Of course they can use very small amounts of uranium to hit us with 2-3 emps into the atmosphere. This has Always been the issue and why America has never dared to bother Iran. I have been following this and investigating it for over 15 years or more. Emp would be the devastation of this Country killing 80-90% of the population. No need to use nukes when you can just take out all electricity. We do not manufacture the high voltage power stations which are all made in China and it takes a minimum of 18 months to make one. No food, no heat, no air conditioning, no health care. People killing each other off for their supplies. It is no coincidence that all the politicians have underground cities and the elites have been busy bees building underground bunkers. It has been something that has been talked about for over 25 years and congress has never hardened our grid. Scientists and experts telling them all about a cascading event. They never did anything about it. They just sold out more and more lined their pockets and bowed to the j@ws and build their safety net. This is a very serious threat indeed.

Yes, I have been saying the US must not go to war with Russia, China, North Korea or Iran because they could all destroy us with super EMP weapons but Trump is bombing Iran anyway putting the lives of all Americans at extreme risk.
