FHC+-+ARRL

1. There is a lack of American Radio Relay League members and ham radio operators, these people are key to being able to respond properly to disasters. More people are willing to learn how to operate radios.

(THIRD EDITION Ham radio showing its gray Aging hobbyists hope to reach new generation Knowledgeable radio buffs have connected on the airwaves in this way since practically the dawn of radio Lexis) But these days, with..said Pitts.

Thus we present the following plan: The Citizen Corps through American Radio Relay League should offer job training in the form ham radio education to topicaly designated persons.

We can clarify.

Contention 2 – The Worst has yet to come

1. The Electromagnetic pulse is going to happen by 2010 – it’s only a question if we are READY.

Colin ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE THREATS TO U.S. EXPEDITIONARY OPERATIONS IN 2010 page 12 A significant amount of..scenarios in the next section.

2. Terrorist organizations have access to EMPS and every year we don’t have an attack means an even greater likely hood it will occur.

Congressman Roscoe Bartlett, NUCLEAR ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE, Congressional Record, US House of Representatives, June 9, 2005 Potential adversaries..You can read that in their report.

3. With poor reaction time to the EMP attack would result in 90% of the US’s population death

4. Proper responders to disasters have been cut resulting in a substantially decease in our ability to respond.

5. An EMP attack with one strike with poor response time could destroy the energy grid – we can only last so long on back up power we need to fix the grid as fast as possible

6. We can only survive a matter time before electricity will crash – An effective communications network is necessary to solve

7. An EMP attack would be deadly – it would result in deadly black outs that could risk the U.S’s Economy to collapse. Rapid reaction is necessary to solve or we will go extinct; short black outs are survivable.

10. Ham radios can survive an EMP attack

He will also explore the effects our byte sized culture is having on our brains -- looking at key research taking place in neuroscience and cognitive psychology.> Most of the talks were..power outages, and nearly all emergency disaster relief’. (This is where it gets messy, because of formatting, but we have 2 scenarios which were the grid and banking)

Scenario 2 – Banking Industry

A. One attack will risk a whole collapse financial industry if ill prepared.

(This is the official community funded by the Government to study the probability and likely hood of an EMP Attack; the community is headed 6 PHDs and is the most legit agency ever; Report of the Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack pg 84) The trend..U.S. financial system.9

B. Banks are key to the global economy

C. Economic collapse has huge horizontal magnitude—Economic growth is the only check on a huge variety of extinction scenarios.

Leonard Silk Winter 1993 (Professor of economics at Pace University, Foreign Affairs, lexis) Like the Great Depression..economies and societies.

D. US Economic contraction would cause extinction, several scenarios: mass starvation, totalitarianism, and nuclear war between the U.S., Russia, and China.

Nyquist 05. (J.R, expert in geopolitics and international relations, WorldNetDaily contributing editor, “The Political Consequences of a Financial Crash,” February 4,http://www.financialsense.com/stormwatch/geo/pastanalysis/2005/0204.html) Should the United States..poison and now we must die.”

We isolate 2 Impacts

FIRST Impact Scenario is Starvation:

A. Economic contraction kills people through mass starvation. Millions die immediately.

Charles Ellwood 2003, Univeristy of Missouri, “Sociology and Modern Social Problems,” l/n As already implied, then...in times of economic depression. B. that kills billions over night powers 96

C. And that makes resource-wars inevitable

Rosenberger ’97   (Dr. Leif Roderick Rosenberger has been the professor of economics at the US Army War College since 1989. He is currently on sabbatical leave and is a visiting scholar on the economics faculty at Harvard University. Parameters – Spring -- http://carlisle-www.army.mil/usawc/Parameters/97spring/rosenbe.htm)

Even if a world food crisis...the early decades of the next century.

E. This “famine-resource war combo” would independently kill hundreds of millions and cause multiple nuclear wars.

From such a shift...cliff. Not pretty.

The Second Impact is International Nuclear War

Little A is China—Rapid horizontal escalation causes extinction— draws in Russia, the Middle East, and Indo-pak conflict

Contention 3: Disaster Strikes the UN

1. Responses to Disaster is key for the United Nations to sending a international signal of credibility.

The International Herald Tribune, February 26, 2005 Saturday, Aid groups pledge close watch on tsunami funds Jan Egeland, who is in charge of the...institutions accountable.

2. The ARRL is directly connect to the UN, they can assist and are contracted to help with disaster relief responses.

3. The world is watching the UN, these signals are necessary to promote and maintain stability in Afghanistan, with out peace all the people may die.
