Experts say our electric grid needs to be better protected

Luke 21:11 ESV There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.

  • Peter Pry, a former CIA intelligence officer, sits on the Department of Homeland Security’s EMP Task Force. “North Korea almost certainly has developed super EMP weapons,”
