Texas Drifter: Obama’s Armageddon Strategy for Texas?

Marshall’s Law Dateline –Russia had Stalin; Germany had Hitler; China had Mao; America has Obama. Question will Obama’s with help of Republican establishment ruling class aristocrats’ real legacy be creating World’s Dark Ages II, known by future historians as America’s First Dark Ages. How, by Americans not preparing for, or stopping, or surviving an E.M.P. incident? TRUE or FALSE

Before answering, Reader might acknowledge following: It is very likely that after initial E.M.P. incident, average citizens will not know: 1) specific type E.M.P incident; 2) who was responsible for incident; 3) why incident occurred; 4) how incident occurred; 5) how far E.M.P. damage spread across America: to be more specific, 1) if damage was only regional, 2) if damage was all across Texas, 3) how much of America was impacted? About only thing that Reader will know, are results of incident/s which will include most all of following.

Now imagine a world for your children and grandchildren permanently affected by E.M.P:
- No safe drinking water
- Mostly garbage for food
- Cash will eventually be replaced with economy based on stealing to barter
- No electric lights
- No accessible dependable communications systems
- Practically no mechanized transportation
- None to limited public: law enforcement; fire suppression services, emergency medical services
- Primitive first aid “clinics” only, no emergency rooms or hospital services
- No public records for: properties deeds, personal identities, tax rolls, criminal / civil records
- No private records like bank records, medical records, or family “papers” or memory photos
- Streets and urban areas will be mostly controlled by racist rioters, street gangs, illegal immigrants and other welfare recipients’ looters
- Obama’s final tactic for above strategy could be to send in Federal armed bureaucrats to re-establish Obama’s concept “of vindictive racist law and order” in Texas

In an effort to help reader experience first day of Obama and Republican establishment ruling class aristocrats preventable first day of their Dark Ages II in Texas. Why Start in Texas; reader will learn that later. Clue is Texas is mostly “one” electric Grid State. (Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) manages scheduling on an electric grid carrying 85 percent of Texas' load.) Back to letting Reader experience what can easily be fifty-fifty future real world experiences.

Following notes are for: whomever finds this diary; about what, start of World’s Dark Ages II; when, during America’s First Dark Ages; where, in one “red state” called Texas; specific location, somewhere in Rio Grande Valley North Mexico, Texas, United States.

Primary Players this PART I: Security Consultant (Security); Professor (Old Man); Young Girl (Daughter); Assorted Bad Guys; Puppy (as Sir); Assorted Good Guys

Awoke sometime before sunrise; all covered in sweat. My first response was air conditioner must have blown a fuse. Reached for closest light switch, again nothing happened. No problem, reached for my cell phone, still nothing; not even indication battery dead. Opened curtain to only to notice there was no street light on outside my small temporary residence; only darkness as far as one can see on a cloudy moonless night.

Managed to get dressed so I could drive about six blocks to area convenience store. Things got less pleasant, as my car’s remote also seemed to have a dead battery. The remote would not unlock my car’s doors, or have the vehicle do anything else.

Decided walk might be good exercise, went back into my home to get my Cougar .40 Cal – just in case. Having spent most of my career in private sector security industry; being paid to always be paranoid made “just in case”; seem like just another day at work.

Had barely gone three blocks, when it dawned on me that current events involved more than just a temporary electrical outage. Obvious clue was vehicles all seemed to stop where they were last “running”.

Terrified people were running up asking” What is happening? My car just stopped; my phone won’t work; my lap top doesn’t work; there is no electricity – how am I going to charge my phone battery?

Kept on walking only to see a police cruiser, two fire trucks, ambulance all more or less evenly spaced in route to house somewhere – none were running – none had working lights – none with any working radios either vehicle mounted or hand held.

Asked one of the fire fighters what happened, said he did not know. He told me to move on, as they were trying to decide whether to stay with their vehicles or start walking back to their station.

Eventually made it to convenience store – no surprise that it was closed. Decided to keep heading down to mini-mall to check on ATM. Seemed more entertaining than heading back to my small rental residence.

Walking became more bizarre as more people were waking up to realize that their routine lifestyles had totally changed over-night. Making things worse was, everyone wanted to know why “this was happening” and “how long before things would be back to normal?”

Perception struck me, now I know what it is like when time stops for technology, but not for the living. As I approached the not working ATM; I noticed couple of gang members starting to rob older man. I being modest, introduced them to my Cougar 40.Cal and asked them to leave. Which they did without my having to ask them twice.

The old man said “I like you”. Then asked if I wanted to make two hundred dollars cash by escorting him to his house about mile away?

I asked where he got the money since the ATM was not working, His response, “I bought it with me”; then said “We should get going before the street gangsters come back.”

After we walked about hundred yards, told the old man – I want hundred now and other hundred when we get to your house. Old man smiled and said “you look like you are honest”; then handed me both one hundred dollar bills. My bemused response – After you.

Was thinking as I followed the old man down the street – At least, there might be some money making opportunities during these whatever is going on days!

As we approached old man's house, he said "Come in my daughter can fix you breakfast - Knew these days were coming - I have working appliances most people don't - I will give you a ten minute summary of what is going on - Plus I will pay you another fifty dollars for your time - that's what private guns like you like - right?

Smiled at old man then said, “You can pay me after breakfast.” Old man then quipped, “Good, I knew you were honest."

Old man began a brief lecture about EMP, while waiting for my breakfast to be served.

EMP (Electro Magnetic Pulse) can be generated by 1) detonation of one high altitude nuclear bomb; 2) non-nuclear generator SGEMP (System Generator EMP) or 3) magnetic explosion on the sun like Carrington Event September 1859 which disrupted telegraph systems world-wide.

Objectives for use of EMP weapons are to disrupt, damage, and destroy, the following: electricity transmission lines and generators plus “consumer systems / appliances” used for: communications (passive and interactive); transportation; including but not limited to computer related: hardware, hard drives, software; data storage systems like scandisks, parts of internet “cloud”; and even magnetic tapes.

Real world impact generally explained includes but is not limited to the following:
1. No electricity for: lights, air conditioners, hot water heaters, stoves, radios, televisions, street lights, street signal lights, fresh drinking water, list goes on
2. No working repairable: electrical appliances of any kind
3. No working repairable: cell phones, laptops, any type of consumer computer retail products
4. No electronic financial transactions: no bank cash with-drawls; no debit/ credit card transactions at any store, ATM, or anywhere else - anywhere means anywhere; in fact, since data sources have been destroyed it will be almost impossible for anyone to verify they even have bank accounts; Reader can forget electronic direct deposit transfers from Social Security or other retirement or dividend checks - this is only brief list of no longer available “routine” financial transactions.
5. No working transportation using cars /vehicles; trucks; buses; trains, airplanes, boats – one might hope for transportation from few riding lawnmowers, National Guard type trucks might show up sometime in future.
6. No responding law enforcement, fire department, ambulances due to no operating vehicles, radios, or phone services
7. No emergency room or hospital services as their backup generators were probably destroyed during EMP incident; leaving facilities without electricity, water, using computers to request patient records, or know which prescription drugs to prescribe; tragic as it may be; most patients in hospitals and nursing homes in poor health will probably die where they are.
8. Even parts of electric grid not destroyed by EMP incident; could suddenly experience electrical “back surges” in remaining grid not damaged by EMP incident, and “burn up” rest of electric grid?
9. Other EMP incident problems Reader can list, like effects on those depending on pacemakers.

Beneficiaries of possible EMP incident on Texas soil; list might include Russia; China; Middle East Terrorists (both old enemies and new enemies); possibly most to benefit would be Obama’s Administration. How it would give Obama reason to suspend 2016 elections while punishing Red States like Texas.

According to Wall Street Journal “The Growing Threat from an EMP Attack” A nuclear device detonated above the U.S. could kill millions, and we've done almost nothing to prepare. By R. James Woolsey and Peter Vincent Pry Aug. 12, 2014 - It was suggested that - Estimated cost to protect U.S. from EMP attack according to EMP Commission would be about two billion dollars which is about what U.S. gives to Pakistan.

Ways to prevent damages of man-made or natural solar EMP incidents; are not really important now after incident has occurred – are they?

Sir you have three options after you finish your breakfast:
1. Stay here and die like many others; remember, since you intervened on my behalf – you will be a primary target for the rioters and looters.
2. Escort my daughter to safe location far from here and protect her for twelve months where you will be given a new identity and ten thousand dollars gold.
3. Think about that while enjoying your breakfast.
4. Something for you to also think about, it could be as long as a year or more before electrical service is restored; and that does not even include whatever “law and order” becomes to mean in society having been ruled by mobs and looters?
5. In case you are foolishly considering making it until electric power is re-established; who will replace destroyed consumer electrical appliances; who will provide parts to repair damaged vehicles; who will provide new jobs; what about all bank deposit records, property ownership records, personal identity records, criminal records, other records required of civil society; it will be impossible to separate legal citizens from illegal immigrants – bottom brutal truth is there will be no going back to normal perhaps forever!
6. Being positive, the hideaway ranch you will be escorting my daughter too, has multiple copies of necessary documents on both paper and CD’s; plus other conveniences those you leave behind will not even remember by this time next week.

Old man’s daughter sets incredibly pleasing breakfast on table.

Security: (After finishing breakfast.) Hopefully that was not best last breakfast I ever have! Question how do we get from here to your hide-a-way ranch?

Old Man: Follow me – leads to garage – (Security steps inside to see small two seat helicopter.)

Old Man continues: Modified “American Sports Copter – Ultra Sport 496 – two person – 4 cylinder - fuel injection replaced with carbs – HP 110 – Range 200 miles – Cruise 70MPH – Max Speed 110MPH – useful load 540 pounds – Fuel capacity 20 gallons

Security: There are only two seats

Old Man: I am not going –

Security: I cannot fly that thing –

Old Man: My daughter can – She built it entirely by herself; plus she hand tightened every single bolt in her “Eagle” not “that thing” as you called it.

Security: Need few thing out of my house – plus other things others do not need to find.

Old Man: Anything there worth dying for? You are a marked man since you helped me. I can go back and make sure that nothing in your place is ever found by anyone. Rioters and looters will probably work the convenience stores, liquor stores, and retail stores until darkness; before they start breaking into private homes. Know what these are?

Security: Yes “Dragon breath” rounds with time delay and trip wire detonators.

Old Man: Very good – as soon as you and my daughter lift off about sundown; I will rig my place to go up first; then take back alleys to you your place, open gas line and set both time delay and trip wire detonators to insure there are no misfires.

Security: Where will you go after that?

Old Man: Have few friends in neighborhood nursing home; will stay and care for them until “our time has come”. With no electricity, air conditioning, lights, food, water, computer records for prescriptions, or way to call for additional medical care services or law enforcement; we probably will not make it much past sunrise as rioters will enter looking for drugs.

Security: You can still take my place on your daughter’s “Eagle”.

Old Man: No sir, it is time for my generation to reap what we tolerated – It is up to you and my daughter to survive long enough to give the next generation chances to re-build Heaven’s favorite republic. Kind of Ironic that an America that worshiped affirmative action for all; will now learn that EMP incidents are the ultimate social-economic class equalizers of all time.
Old Man: Go sleep best you can – your job just starts with liftoff as sun sets.

(Old Man and Daughter share heart breaking parting words) – Old Man: Go do “Eagle’s” pre-flight checks and get ready to lift off -

Old Man (Few Words with Security)

(Daughter tearfully waves bye as Security straps himself into “Eagle” then asks Daughter) – Have lot of flight hours?

Daughter (smiles then yells above copter motor) – “ALMOST EIGHTY – ALL VIDEO SIMULATOR” – (Daughter then jerks “Eagle” off ground into flight for both their hopeful new lives -

Daughter continues: WE’RE HEADING FOR JUST PAST “PORT MANSFIELD CUT” ON ISLAND - WE’LL STAY THEIR - TILL SUNRISE -

END PART ONE – PART TWO TO BE CONTINUED AT ANOTHER TIME

Question – If it would only cost about two billion dollars to “harden” America against EMP incidents; would it not be good idea for Texas Governor Greg Abbott to call “Special Session” to consider spending estimated two hundred million dollars to “harden” Texas electrical grid; plus maybe another fifty million dollars to educate Texans on how to prepare for eventual man-made or natural EMP incident? TRUE or FALSE

Bonus thought question, only component this writing exercise can, and could never totally describe is the stench of death that always saturates EMP incidents.
