TEL AVIV – While the international community and news media focus on North Korean missile tests and the country’s nuclear program, one expert warned on Sunday that North Korea may be secretly assembling the capability to take out significant parts of the U.S. homeland via an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack.
Dr. Peter Vincent Pry is executive director of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security and is the chief of staff of the Congressional EMP Commission.
Speaking on this reporter’s talk radio program, Pry pointed to two North Korean satellites that are currently orbiting the U.S. at trajectories he says are optimized for a surprised EMP attack. “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio” is broadcast on terrestrial radio on New York’s AM 970 The Answer and NewsTalk 990 AM in Philadelphia and online.
Pry was referring to the KMS 3-2 and KMS-4 earth observation satellites launched by North Korea in April 2012 and February 2016 respectively.
He warned: “They are positioning themselves as sort of a nuclear missile age, cyberage version of the battleship diplomacy in my view. So that they can always have...
U.S. and Afghan officials revealed Sunday that the head of ISIS in Afghanistan, Abdul Hasib has been confirmed dead as a result of a joint U.S. and Afghan operation carried out on April 27th. The raid was carried out by 50 U.S. Army Rangers which are part of Army Special Operations and 40 Afghan commandos.
A Pentagon spokesperson previously said that Hasib was most likely killed but there has been no confirmation until now.
Hasib’s predecessor, Hafiz Saeed Khan was killed in a U.S. drone strike.
The 90 troops were dropped by helicopter into Nangarhar Province, close to where the U.S. MOAB, or “mother of all bombs,” was dropped on April 13. Upon landing the Rangers were met with heavy fire and called in air support from drones, Apache helicopters, F-16s and an AC-130. Gen. John Nicholson said in a statement that “This successful joint operation is another important step in our relentless campaign to defeat ISIS-K in 2017,” and continued, ‘This is the second ISIS-K emir we have killed in...
Ever since the Republican-led House passed “phase one” of the American Health Care Act last Thursday, liberals have been hyperventilating over the fate of the allegedly “vulnerable” government dependants who compromise the bulk of the Democrat base.

While the AHCA may conceivably screw over some real victims — though I highly doubt it will — I got a hunch that the majority of the “victims” slated to be hurt by its passage are among the lazy, good-for-nothing schlubs who believe that those of us who work hard and...
A 45-year-old man told cops he was stabbed and robbed in Queens by a trio of men who shouted the name of the notorious MS-13 gang, police sources said Sunday.
The victim was leaving a check cashing spot at 90th Street and Roosevelt Avenue in Jackson Heights around 7 p.m. Saturday when the three attackers approached him and yelled “MS-13” before stabbing him once in the back and robbing him of $600, the sources said.
The trio took off, and the victim was taken to Elmhurst Hospital for non-life-threatening injuries, according to the sources.
Cops believe MS-13 is behind the brutal beating and slaying of four young men in Recreation Village Town Park in...
The U.S mainstream media celebrates the Orwellian future being imposed on Western “democracy” by hailing the algorithms that conveniently purge opposition “misinformation” from the internet, labeling them “fake news” in the process.
Those who peddle in “real news” are upset with those who mascaraed as real sources of information, and want to amend the Constitution to impose their style of “democracy” on the world.
The New York Times is cheering on the Orwellian future for Western “democracy” in which algorithms quickly hunt down and eliminate information that the Times and other mainstream outlets don’t like, reports Robert Parry.
Just days after sporting First Amendment pins at the White House Correspondents Dinner – to celebrate freedom of the press – the mainstream U.S. media is back to celebrating a very different idea: how to use algorithms to purge the Internet of what is deemed “fake news,” i.e. what the mainstream judges to be “misinformation.”
The New York Times, one of the top promoters of this new Orwellian model for censorship, devoted two-thirds of a page in its Tuesday editions to a laudatory piece about high-tech entrepreneurs refining artificial intelligence that can hunt down and eradicate...
