The Golden Dome Is A Brilliant Idea – Now We Need The Same Kind Of Protection For The Grid
Originally published by AND Magazine.

President Trump has proposed the building of a Golden Dome, a space-based missile defense system that would protect America from enemy attacks with conventional and nuclear missiles. This is a brilliant and long-overdue initiative. We have the technology. All we need now is the will.
We also need the same kind of mental approach toward our power grid.
Without electrical power, this country would be back in the 16th century in a heartbeat. Take a moment. Conduct a thought experiment. Imagine you are sitting at your computer in your home, and suddenly, the power goes out.
Then imagine it is not coming back on.
You have no lights. You have no water. The food in your freezer and your fridge will soon begin to rot. You have no email. You have no cellular phone. You cannot place an online order.
You cannot call 911.
You have what gas is in your vehicle’s tank. No one is going to pump more without electricity. It doesn’t matter really. Other than the cash in your wallet, you have no money. Your bank account effectively no longer exists. You have no means of accessing it anyway.
You are living in the past, but you are much worse off than those who lived in those times. You can’t walk to the store, which is miles away. The food there is rotting in any event. You don’t have a well from which you can draw water by hand. You don’t grow your own food. Your whole life is structured around the availability of electricity, and now that is gone.
And, no one knows how long it will take to get the power back up and running. We are not talking days, weeks, or months. We are talking years.
The Chinese have positioned themselves to attack our grid and make this thought experiment a reality. They have worked at it diligently for years, and they are perilously close to being able to actually pull it off:
– There may be as many as 500 large transformers in our power grid that were made in China. We know as a documented fact that these transformers have been manufactured to allow them to be remotely “killed”. That does not mean simply switched off. That means destroyed.
– Recent news reports have shown that the Chinese have sabotaged components being put into solar farms around the country with the same intent.
– Repeated reports by the FBI and private security firms have warned that the Chinese have successfully hacked into our critical infrastructure and are prepared to take down that infrastructure in a deliberate attack on our nation.
