It's time to head out and look for some gold


Effects of an EMP attack on our critical national infrastructures


Effects of an EMP attack on our critical national infrastructures

By Syndicated Investigative Reporter Michael Webster May 5, 2019 6:00 AM PDT

Electrical power is necessary to support critical and other infrastructures, including supply and distribution of water, food, fuel, communications, transport, financial transactions, emergency services, government services, and all other infrastructures supporting the national economy and welfare of the country. Should significant parts of the electrical power infrastructure be lost for any substantial period of time the consequences are likely to be catastrophic, and many people may ultimately die for lack of the basic elements necessary to sustain life in dense urban and suburban communities. There should be deep concerned that such impacts are likely in the event of an EMP attack unless practical steps are taken to provide protection for critical elements of the electric system and for rapid restoration of electric power, particularly to essential services. The recovery plans for the individual infrastructures currently in place essentially assume, at worst, limited upsets to the other infrastructures that are important to their operation. Such plans may be of little or no value in the wake of an EMP attack because of its long-duration effects on all infrastructures that rely on electricity or electronics.
The physical and social fabric of the United States is sustained by a system of systems; a complex and dynamic network of interlocking and interdependent infrastructures (“critical national infrastructures”) whose harmonious functioning enables the myriad actions, transactions, and information flow that undergird the orderly conduct of civil society in this country. The vulnerability of these infrastructures to threats — deliberate, accidental, and acts of nature — is the focus of greatly heightened concern in the current era, a process accelerated by the events of 9/11 and recent hurricanes, including Katrina, Harvey, Irma, Maria and Rita. This report presents the results of the Commission’s assessment of the effects of a high altitude electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack on our critical national infrastructures.
 Previous official U.S. government studies include reports from the Congressionally-mandated EMP Commission, which operated from 2001 – 2017. These reports anticipate enhanced EMP effects weapons of interest to Russia, China, North Korea and Iran, and perhaps other potential U.S. adversaries.
The latest EPRI report assumes lesser electromagnetic threat levels than the recent EMP Commission did and consequently EPRI predicts that most of the long replacement-time transformers will survive an EMP attack or campaign. The EPRI report did not assess vulnerabilities and protection needs for large power generators that are assessed by most experts as also vulnerable to EMP effects on electronic and control equipment, and potential disruption of fuel and water supply chains on which most electric generation depends.
Fortunately, a March 26th Presidential Executive Order mandates a “Whole of Government” and “Whole of Community” commitment to demonstration and testing programs and prioritized protection for critical infrastructures. The executive order, Coordinating National Resilience to Electromagnetic Pulses, identifies designated government responsibilities and encourages industry-government partnerships to strengthen our national resilience.
We encourage readers of the recent EPRI report to extend their awareness to other reports here cited and to other centers of expertise, and to “Whole of Community” preparedness.

Prospectors Journal.

 All about Gold


 By Michael (Mick) Webster


As we take our first step in publishing the “Prospectors Journal”. We will strive to be the premier resource for, prospecting for gold and gems, mining, and in depth information about the whole world of hard rock and placer mining. Will write about the best ways known to man on finding gold and gold nuggets, and gems on the World Wide Web!
Gold is where you find it. Gold is one of the rarest elements on Earth, and gold has been the exchange of trade and the driving force for much of the commerce throughout the world. For millennium, prospectors have gone on the search for the allusive metal left their comfort zones to seek this waiting in the ground hidden wealth.  
Some of the first prospectors ventured out into California’s famous Mother Lode country; weathered the harsh and unforgiving wilderness of Alaska and the gold in the Klondike
They traversed the gold districts of America and traveled to far off and unknown lands throughout the globe.
Gold in the ground is still the ultimate find!
If you’re a gold prospector or a rare gem collector? Please spend a moment to check our new website at: www.prospectorsjournal.com   There you will find wonderful and practical resources to help you educate yourself and hopefully speed up your search for finding gold.
Learn how to look for and find gold; educate yourself on where to find it and where others have already found it. How it can best be economically extracted from Mother Earth. And while you’re at it enjoy the beautiful American out doors.
Man has been finding gold for a very long time there is still more new gold to be found then has been since the beginning of time. Today’s gold prospectors are digging up huge amounts of gold through new hard rock and placer discoveries, and there are large nuggets still to be found.
These new discoveries are often in areas where men have found gold in the past; even today new gold is being discovered in unknown areas capable of starting a new modern gold rush.
I’ve been prospecting and mining gold for well over fifty years from Alaska to South America, and all in between.
My family and I now reside in Orange County California and we have found gold within twenty minutes of our house. If you live anywhere in the 13 Western States, you likely close to gold bearing ground. It’s just a matter of finding it. I suggest you do your home work before you set out to find any of that precious metal. Search on our web site, as well as many other helpful sites. Read all the books on the subject you can get your hands on and some times the older the better. Search old gold location maps.
Joining a gold prospecting club is a great way to meet other people with the same interest, and also to learn more about it and discover the best places to find this prized treasure. You'll find clubs across the nation, and more in those states where more gold tends to be found.

Then be prepared make sure you have all the equipment you will need and the most important is water. Then set out (not alone) and scout the likely known places you found in your research closest to home. You can branch out from there when you are ready. Good luck and send us lots of personal stories of your prospecting adventures with lots of photos vidios.
You can contact publisher Michael Webster at mvwsr@aol.com for any questions or Gold stories.
