National Power Blackout Drill Set For Nov 13 as Government and Industry Prepare For Attacks

At this very moment, thousands of experts in both the utility industries, military and various government security agencies across the United States, Canada and Mexico are preparing for an emergency drill. The drill, which will simulate both physical and cyber attacks on the power grid has been set for November 13th-14th.

Our shared power resources are vulnerable to attack and in the opinion of many, destined to be hit. Former Homeland Security Director Janet Napolitano described an attack as being, not a question of if, but a question of when.

A blow to the grid that resulted in a shutdown would result in a tremendous amount of chaos, civil unrest and ultimately deaths due to violence and a lack of food and water. Inevitably a declaration of martial law would follow such an instance. The human suffering and condition would have us clamoring in the streets for everyday necessities.

No power means there would be no supply of water, gasoline, diesel, frozen food, fresh food, medicines and communications, as all of these are dependent upon electricity for either their delivery or maintenance.

This will be no small operation. It is reported, in fact, to be the largest drill of its type by several times over anything ever done before. Over 150 companies and organizations have signed on as participants.

The scale of the projected emergency for which the preparedness drill allegedly is to take place is unprecedented as well.

Brian Harrell, of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, or NERC, is the official in charge of the drill. The drill, code named GridEx ll, is said to be designed to determine how governments and their agencies react to the loss of normal supply chains critical to everyday needs.

Harrell, in comparing GridEx ll to previous exercises, said that the others were based on the expectation that electricity “would be up and running relatively quickly” after an attack. Now, he said, the goal is to “educate the federal government on what their expectations should or shouldn’t be.”

The industry held a smaller exercise two years ago in which 75 utilities, companies and agencies participated, but this one will be vastly expanded and will be carried out with a much greater sense of urgency.

The electrical grid is an essential part of American infrastructure, but is largely privately held and under private control. This is an opportunity to integrate and share information and expertise between government agencies and the suppliers. Most military facilities rely upon commercial power, so it is therefore a very important component of our national defense.

There are approximately 5,800 major power plants and 450,000 miles of high-voltage transmission lines across the grid, which are monitored and controlled by a hodgepodge of devices installed over decades.

This diversity in control and mechanisms can be seen as a safeguard of sorts, in that there is no one solution to affect a total grid shutdown through a cyber attack, with the exception of an EMP.

An EMP, Electromagnetic Pulse would fry the unprotected components, most of which have tremendous lead times for manufacturing and those manufacturing facilities are also dependent upon electrical power.

An EMP attack could leave the entire continent at a standstill and in a state of chaos for months or years. Former CIA director James Woolsey is working to bring attention to the issue, which was also the subject of a report by the National Academy of Sciences last year. EMP’s occur naturally, has a result of solar flares, but can also be created through the low level detonation of a nuclear device. A single device detonated over the central part of the United States could have immediate crippling results.

In what may be described as a missed opportunity, the spokesperson for NERC, Mr. Bill Lawrence, indicates in a letter to Paul A. LaViolette, dated September 11th, 2013, that the emergency scenario in the drill does not include a response to an EMP.

Since an EMP attack is one of the greatest threats which exist to our infrastructure at this time, it is odd that it is not being considered.

On the plus side, Mr. Lawrence indicates there will be no actual power interruptions as a result of this drill.

A complete power blackout, for even a short period of time, would have a serious negative impact in just those areas in which we are seeking to safeguard, and on the lives of those affected.

Wake up fellas this ain't no joke, they had you fooled in 2001 and haven't stopped since.

Anybody see any air bags that were activated ? She supposedly rammed her vehicle repeatedly into a barrier at the white house.

This is all a setup to get you angry with the police so we can have a civil war in the USA.

"A vehicle can be stopped WITHOUT KILLING A DRIVER.

There is something strange about the amount of damage to this Police car.

almost like this dc training drill is that

and a beta test on whether we, the sheeple will just go along with it again.

MAKING YOU BELIEVE AVG GUY OR GAL IS DANGEROUS, WAKE UP FELLAS, THIS ISN'T THAT DEEP.

More video of this incident than of planes hitting the Pentagon on 9/11.

For someone that was TRYING to "ram into a barricade of the White House" her car looks quite unscathed.

Well Playa, I will have to agree with you in that there doesn't appear to be any damage to her car at this point. When she supposedly rammed 2 concrete barricades at the White House.
But I don't think this is a conspiracy? They purposely didn't shoot her when they had her car stopped with 5 police with drawn guns pointed at her at very close range. I think she surprised them when she suddenly drove off.

Maybe a drill, just maybe. Her tires are easy to shoot, unless you are shooting blanks in a drill or something.

Sounds familiar, Adam Lana(SANDYHOOK) Mental issues
James Holmes (Colorado theater) mental issues.
Seung Hui Cho( Virginia Tech shooting) mental issues
Jared Lee (2011 Gifford shooting Arizona) mental issues
Miriam Carey(DC Shooting) mental issues

Who writes this stuff !

sane folk don't do this.

You can make assumptions about who she is but in the heat of the moment you don't know who she is, or not armed, or with windows tinted who is in the car.

IS everything that can't be explained in one hour then must be a conspiracy?
