An EMP is\u00a0an invisible and silent burst of electromagnetic energy\u00a0that fries electronic equipment and usually knocks out the power grid.<\/p>\n<p>A successful EMP attack on the country will cause a <a href=\"http:\/\/large.stanford.edu\/courses\/2019\/ph241\/rogers1\/\">nationwide\u00a0blackout and the\u00a0shutdown of critical infrastructures<\/a> like\u00a0communications, transportation, food and water supply and sanitation.\u00a0These conditions can last as long as a year\u00a0and cause the death of many Americans due to societal collapse.<\/p>\n<p>In an article for the <em>Hill<\/em> published last year,\u00a0Pry\u00a0sounded the alarm\u00a0about a potential surprise EMP strike by China. The latter\u2019s plans, according to Pry, are all evident in Chinese military writings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven a super military power like the United States, which possesses nuclear missiles and powerful armed forces, cannot guarantee its immunity \u2026 In their own words, a highly computerized open society like the United States is <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/opinion\/national-security\/503252-chinas-surprise-years-in-the-planning-an-emp-attack\">extremely vulnerable to electronic attacks<\/a> from all sides,\u201d said Pry.<\/p>\n<p>Domestic crises further put the U.S. in danger. \u201cTotalitarian and authoritarian states view leadership crises and periods of deep domestic political division as invitations to aggression,\u201d Pry said\u00a0in the interview.<\/p>\n<p>He warned of the danger posed by\u00a0the people\u00a0who infiltrated last year\u2019s\u00a0BLM protests. According to Pry, these individuals display a \u201cswelling counter-culture anarchy and self-condemnation\u201d reminiscent of the 1968 riots and anti-war protests that are recognized as the turning point in the nation\u2019s defeat in the Vietnam War.

This move\u00a0\u201cis probably far more dangerous to U.S. national security than the mobbing of the Capitol,\u201d Pry said in reference to the\u00a0Jan. 6 storming of the Capitol Building in Washington D.C.<\/p>\n<h2>Civil crises can lead to \u201cWWIII Cybergeddon\u201d<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div data-dy-embedded-object=\"true\">Pry warned that these civil crises can lead to a \u201cWorld War III Cybergeddon,\u201d where the internet and electric grid go down. When that happens, a total of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/news\/us-news\/12162589\/pentagon-detecting-electromagnetic-pearl-harbor-surprise-attack\/\">295 million people<\/a> (or 90 percent of Americans) could die within the first year\u00a0due to starvation, disease and societal collapse.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Pry believes that\u00a0the United States is simply unprepared for a large-scale disaster, as proven by its inadequate response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As he noted in the <em>Hill<\/em> article, the U.S. spent decades and billions of dollars preparing for biological warfare and funding health and defense departments, which should have contingency plans to protect Americans from lethal biological weapons. Yet these departments failed to manage the pandemic and instead pushed the country to the worst economic crisis it has seen since the Great Depression, according to Pry.<\/p>\n<p>In the midst of this, America\u2019s foes are watching. \u201cHostile foreign powers surely have noticed the panicked, incompetent U.S. response to the virus that shut down a prosperous U.S. economy,\u201d Pry said.<\/p>\n<p>America\u2019s domestic crises are a real threat to the safety of all Americans.
