America’s Achilles’ Heel: Electromagnetic Pulse Weapons

America is the greatest superpower in world history. Achilles was the greatest mythical warrior in the Trojan War. But even he had a fatal vulnerability.

Editor in chief Gerald Flurry emphasized in the January 1995 Philadelphia Trumpet that the Achilles’ heel of the United States military is its dependence on information technology. If an enemy of the U.S. could sabotage this technology, it could conquer the nation. One of the main ways to sabotage information systems is cyberwarfare. But there are others.

The U.S. Air Force released an Electromagnetic Defense Task Force report on November 28. It concluded that an electromagnetic pulse generated by solar flare or a nuclear weapon could cripple communication systems that the military desperately needs. Such an eventuality would fulfill a major Bible prophecy.
