Cyberattack Scenario: Trump Declares a National Emergency

ATMs freeze, fuel

pumps lose connection, and grocery lines back

up within hours. That

is when people finally feel how tightly

electricity, communications, and payments and transportation are

connected. If we let it escalate in a controlled

manner, it will scare people.

Of course it will. We will feel it too.

Yet we remain calm because this is

exactly what the last 10 years of

preparation were built for.

Trump declares a national emergency and activates the protocols already in

place.

Federal cyber teams begin

isolating the compromised networks.

Critical infrastructure is secured and the country moves

into continuity operations. Then

after blue-haired Karen discovers

she cannot post her coffee on

Instagram, the sovereign stack starts showing itself.
