Sure the title might not be the best ever but what else do you call a Conference to disguss the global threat of Electro magnetic pulse weapons, usually though when people in the US mentions "the world" they usually mean America or anything close or that can affect them. They not called the most selfish country on earth for no reason.

This is not to rant at them now, this is about a more weird problem, about a weapon that does not quite exist yet or that we know that exist. As usual it might exist in the military but we citizens are not allowed to that classified information so we can just suspect that there are EMPs out there.

Right now or actually from 8 - 10 September there was a conference and it ends today, that conference was held in Niagara Falls Conference Center in New York. The program was around talking about the dangers of EMP weapons and the threat that Iran, North Korea and other countries the US has interest in is possing a threat to their little big empire. You might think there's only going to be a bunch of nuts but turns out this EMP weapon is in fact real and people like former Speaker of the House
Newt Gingrich, Congressman Roscoe Bartlett, and other EMP experts from the military, industry, and academia also Mike Huckabee whoever that might be.

Actually the conference name is:

Protecting America Against Permanent Continental
Shutdown From
Electromagnetic Pulse:
A National Conference

and it goes around this following scenario:

A man-made Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) is caused by a nuclear weapon detonated in the atmosphere. This threat is a realistic possibility in this day and age. In fact, two Congressional Commissions have recently warned that America could suffer catastrophic consequences from a nuclear EMP attack by terrorists or rogue states. Their reports also point out that the U.S. can be protected if we act quickly. A House Homeland Security subcommittee is currently meeting and considering legislation, but very little has been done so far. According to the Abstract of the original Report of the Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from EMP Attack, U.S. Congress, 2004: “Several potential adversaries have or can acquire the capability to attack the United States with a high-altitude nuclear weapon-generated electromagnetic pulse (EMP). A determined adversary can achieve an EMP attack capability without having a high level of sophistication.”

Imagine that, a helicopter with a small device or a big something with a big device flying into a building and setting off a invinsible cloud of electro whatevers, next moment you know the power is out and no electrical equipment works, no cellphones work. NOTHING works that uses electricity. The world would actually in the 5 minutes after that moment have cleaner air. Capitilism will come to a standstill and the "threat" against freedom will instantly vanish.

People will go back to the electricless age, they would actually have to do real stuff again, like making food and reading books.

Suddenly this dont sound that bad, except off course for those with heart equipment and medical equipment that would make it harder to keep certain people alive or safe them from dying, but apart from that I think life would become much better without electricity.

More from the EMP threat:

An EMP attack can cripple our infrastructure causing all of our electronic equipment and infrastructure to fail. That means even basic modes of emergency response, like cars, planes, and other emergency vehicles, may not even start. Current emergency planning is primarily based upon short-term disasters, and is heavily dependent upon assistance from peripheral communities; unfortunately, an EMP could have long-lasting and wide-spread effects that are not adequately addressed by current planning. Moreover, availability of fundamental resources such as our food, water, and medical supplies would almost certainly break down.

Don’t think it can happen? Increasing nuclear terrorist threats like those of North Korea and Iran can disable the entire power grid in North America are a clear and present danger. Terrorists and rogue nations don’t even need accurate or long range ballistic missiles. An EMP attack can potentially be carried out by launching readily available Scud missiles from a barge off of our coasts.

EMPACT America is conducting a national conference bringing in the most knowledgeable minds in the world about EMP. Scheduled speakers include U.S. Congressional leaders, Department of Defense experts, and many other experts on EMP. In addition, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich will deliver an exclusive video address on EMP prepared specifically for this conference.

Our ongoing development and increasing reliance on electronics and technology makes us extremely vulnerable to EMP threats. We invite you to join us at the conference so that we can help you better understand the impact of EMP and how it affects you, and feature some proactive, hands-on ideas to protect our infrastructure from the devastating effects of EMP

 See how that will be? Ok maybe they imagine it different, with weapons flying around and all that. I'm being green and all thinking about the planet and that stuff.

Well check out these videos, they all go around the EMP scenario
