Peggy Littleton Warns of "Electromagnetical Pulses," Martial Law

  • 21 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

A noteworthy clip of video forwarded to us (above) from last summer of El Paso County commissioner-turned U.S. Senate candidate Peggy Littleton, speaking at the “Breaking the Silence” Christian activist conference hosted by the hard-right Alliance Defending Freedom. In this video, Littleton is making a sales pitch for an outfit called the Christian Emergency Network, which sells “advanced training, emergency supplies, and emergency response gear from our partners” to evangelical Christians and the churches they attend.

Littleton’s pitch for the Christian Emergency Network is, well, kind of freaky:

So what you saw here is, that the emphasis is not on disaster relief agencies like the Salvation Army or the Red Cross, or on government, like Homeland Security, or the county, or FEMA, but the focus was on us. Our churches, our community. My Christian Emergency Network is just a disaster organization. It’s not a disaster responder as we would make–as we understand it. The focus here today is really on what we can do. How we can be equipped to handle a crisis and emergencies that happen in our communities.

Whether that be something that’s local, a fire a flood or a tornado, or something that impacts us from a national level. An emergen-um, an EMP or electromagnetical pulse that takes down our power grid. A pandemic. A, um, a cyber attack on whatever systems that may be, or a financial crisis. Those impact us even though they occur nationally and could shut us down.

So what I’m sharing with you today is to help equip our church to help us to handle localized emergencies. What about martial law? What if something like that happens? All I ask of you is, we live in perilous times. [Pols emphasis] And while we pray and plan for the future, while we pray for God’s revival and harvest, it’s still incumbent upon us to be prepared. To have a plan. And to know how to respond in a Christianlike way. Because what we don’t want to do is not be prepared. And then that one second after say, “I wish I would have.”

As many of our readers know, an “electromagnetical pulse” taking down the national power grid followed by “martial law” is a favorite scenario of the vast-government-conspiracy Alex Jones wing of the conservative movement. There’s nothing inherently wrong with churches making plans to cope with disaster that might affect their members, of course, but it becomes a question of what they’re actually preparing for. A fire? A flood? A tornado? Sure.

Stormtroopers in the streets after the government fries the power grid? Probably not, folks.

But hey, whatever sells subscriptions.

  2. http://www.deltacountyindependent.com/support-needed-for-vital-asset-cms-1750 

    We got it covered here in Cederedge, gonna live out our days in a Faraday cage! 

    Dear Editor:

    There is a huge unrecognized asset that we need to support in our community for our survival in dark times. ISIS, Iran, and other terrorist organizations want to destroy the United States. The technology to do that exists with a single fission bomb exploded in space over the U.S. which will take out our power grid for years and all unprotected electronics. Predictions are that nationwide 85 percent of the population will die within three months from the failure of the grid. 

    I don't know how we deserve him, but Joe Davis MD, out of religious conviction, decided to move here, purchase Hi Quality and take the necessary steps so that no one in Delta or Montrose counties need starve to death after such an event. Joe has procured EMP Faraday protected diesel generating capacity with enough diesel storage to run grain and bean processing equipment at his Peagreen facility. It is a huge task involving emergency protected communications security, and a whole host of other tasks. Ask to see his amazing flow chart.

    The purpose of this letter is to ask for any support you may be able to provide. If you have time, skill or equipment that you are willing to donate before or after the event, please call Joe at 874-4478 and see what you can do to help.

  3. I wouldn't mind her scaring gullible churches into buying whatever supplies she's selling, except for her day job. She's a commissioner of the largest county in the state. One of five people in charge of a $300M+ budget thinks that martial law is a viable threat? Now that's scary.

    1. More bad news for El Paso County residents …

      … those fashionable hand-knitted tin foil hats the CoSpgs GOP has been selling at their fundraisers all these years?  They're completely useless as protection against Zombie Scalia  …

       

  6. Hey.  I'm the one who posted on New Year's Day my concern voiced in Ted Koppel's book, "Lights Out" about the possibility of an attack (cyber or small arms) on our power grid.  That threat is real, and we should at least be thinking about our individual response to a long-term disruption of electricity.  But, even I am not fretting about an EMP.  That would have to be state-sponsored and is on the same level as a nuclear attack with the resultant retaliation.  A cyber attack on our power grid, OTOH, could be accomplished via the internet by some anonymous hacker.

    2. Of course state sponsored. Or at least Obama Cabal sponsored. They may not give his appointments any more hearings but he still has time to declare martial law, set up detention camps, take away all our guns, pull down the grid, send out the black (naturally) helicopters and storm troopers and declare himself President for Life.
