    :lol:
    If you had any education in "logic" whatsoever, you'd know the burden of proof lies with the person who makes a claim.
    That's you.
    And not only can you not meet that burden of proof, you -know- you cannot meet that burden of proof.

    Thank you for once against demonstrating you cannot prove your claim true.

    A NAS isn't a computer. It can store malware but it can't execute it. I haven't had a virus on my network for 17 years.

    I'll let Yuri Bezmenov explain it to you... he also explains why you will be presented with facts but deny reality until the military boot crushes your .....

    Network Area Storage, I am familiar with it. FYI, it may not be a computer, but it is not a dumb peripheral, in addition, the malware can reside anywhere on your system, all depands on the malware.

    Technically true.

    However, what you said earlier was incorrect. My disinterest does not constitute proof.

    I had Trump pegged before he was elected. Enjoy the denial.

    This "story" has been floating around for AT LEAST 15 YEARS!.

    Every now and then it gets RECYCLED (usually by some Alarmist RW Clickbait Site).

    I wouldn't be too worried about it.

    As with the 100 other times this story was recycled, It looks like a Bunch of "EMP/The Sky is Falling" Chicken Littles trying to generate pageviews.

    Here is this BREAKING Story of "Imminent Threat" from JUNE 2005:

    You mean to say, this issue has been floating around for at least 15 years.

    Forty years + actually.

    The story is recent.

    I habe been concerned about China becoming a monster since TrickybDickie opened China up to us. There was a major super computer theft by Chinese "businessmen" between 2000 and 2002. Yet the beginning of Chinese theft of US technology most likely started as early as the Reagan administration and continued right through Bush I , Monika's Boyfriend, Bush II, and continues today even with the mouth of Trump claiming he is stopping it. Hell Trump asked Xi to help him with his re-election.

    If one reads Apocalyptic EMP fiction the ad guys are China, North Korea, Pakistan but for some reason the fiction writers love them zone Russia and Putin so Russia is never the bad guy. Is that because Trump has pulled the wool over the eyes of not only his fan boys but of the fiction writers.m

    I'm sure the Navy Dept yields to your analysis, including horrific spelling and grammar that muddles your remarks. :cool:

    I mean, seriously -- why post anything if whatever it is your trying to say isn't going to be understood?

    Commies hate Liberals because Liberal policies cut the legs out from under Communists.

    You are correct that a lot of this crap is Constipated Conspiracy nonsense but you should not think that China or Russia is not trying to steal and develope high tech weapons that can have the same effect as an EMP. The future will bring advanced laser, plasma , controled beam electro magnetic, directed gamma ray, and weapons that science fiction writers going back to the 19th century only conceptualized.

    We need to be ahead of our enemies and opponents in order to stay viable. Remember trust no one and build a better club to bludgeon the other guy.

    the looters are sending scouts to test perimeters for weakness

    have these men started militia drills and target practice to fortify the area?

    have your men began active tactical training?

    An EMP "Pearl Harbor" attack on the US could trigger a red dawn.

    It means uncultured, in the literal sense. I think the best translation would be White Trash.

    I think we will escape Russia's fate, if just barely.

    America isn't bound together by race, religion or ancient tradition.

    Our glue is ideas, the values of the Enlightenment.

    They have become enshrined in our laws and founding documents. But more importantly, we have 2 centuries of learning both how strong, and how weak, an idea can be.

    The day the military refused to back Trump, it was over. He's going to lose.

    Never thought I would see the Joint Chief go on national tv to apologise to the country and his men for his moment of apparent involvement in politics.

    But there it was.

    You can't hack it if it isn't connected in some way to the internet. Plain and simple. You can connect it directly to a computer that is disconnected from the internet and scan it for malware. It cannot execute malware. This isn't rocket science.

    The NAS is like a spare drive that all the computers on the network can access. It is one of the best ways to handle data backups. How secure it is is up to you not to itself.
