A true story that just hasn’t happened yet.<\/p>\n
Imagine this: In the not-so-distant future, a large-scale electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack on the U.S. energy grid wipes out all power in the country. Electronic devices cease to function. No more phones. No Internet. No TV. Credit cards become useless as the entire banking system grinds to a halt. Food, water and mere survival become every person\u2019s primary concerns.<\/p>\n
Movie director Mike Norris and producer Gary Heavin have imagined such a scenario and brought it to life in their new movie,\u00a0\u201cAmerigeddon,\u201d<\/a> set to hit theaters May 13.<\/p>\n \u201cAmerigeddon\u201d depicts a dystopia in which the American government reacts to a debilitating EMP strike by declaring martial law and stripping Americans of their constitutional rights and their guns. And by the way, it was the U.S. government, in conjunction with the United Nations, that staged the EMP attack in the first place.<\/p>\n It was a plot that none of the studios wanted to touch, so Norris and Heavin independently produced and financed the movie. In an interview with WND, Norris called it \u201ca film of passion\u201d that he and Heavin very much wanted to share with the world.<\/p>\n \u201cWe just decided we\u2019re going to do it ourselves,\u201d said Norris, the son of legendary actor and WND exclusive columnist<\/a><\/span> Chuck Norris. \u201cWe said we\u2019ll go take it to the theaters in areas that we think people would gravitate toward a film like this, and [hopefully] it\u2019s something that resonates with people that believe in the First Amendment, the Second Amendment; people that believe in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights \u2013 this is a movie that was created just for them.\u201d<\/p>\n Norris said the movie is unintentionally timely. The process began 18 months ago when Heavin wrote the screenplay. At the time, Norris and others thought Heavin\u2019s plot was kind of crazy. But as they went through the filming process, they saw the U.S. moving more and more toward tyranny, and suddenly the film seemed very appropriate for the times.<\/p>\n \u201cWe were just trying to get a message across that we feel the government is overreaching its authority; Obama is ruling from the bench, our rights are being infringed on a daily basis,\u201d Norris said. \u201cBut it wasn\u2019t until the movie\u2019s done, we\u2019re finished and getting ready to put it out that it just kind of all fell into place and just became very timely with what\u2019s happening in the world. So, really, it was kind of on accident that this film is coming out at this time in our country.\u201d<\/p>\n The story may be fictional, but Norris insisted all the important elements are based in fact, from the movie\u2019s depiction of EMP weapons technology to the National Defense Authorization Act.<\/p>\n \u201cOur film, as Gary likes to call it, it\u2019s a true story that just hasn\u2019t happened yet,\u201d Norris said.<\/p>\n This movie is not mere entertainment; it\u2019s also a warning, according to Norris. A powerful EMP weapon could throw the entire country into chaos. Norris said he does not know of any evidence of planned strikes against the power grid, but the possibility is real.<\/p>\n The movie portrays the EMP attack as a false flag, but Norris believes it could come from another source. He noted North Korean leader Kim Jong-un threatens similar attacks on a regular basis, making him a prime candidate to eventually snap and carry out a major attack on America.<\/p>\n Ultimately, though, the movie is less concerned with the strike itself than with the aftermath.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not so much, should we be worried about an EMP strike?\u201d Norris explained. \u201cIt\u2019s, what happens if we do have an EMP strike? Are we prepared for that?\u201d<\/p>\n Before he started filming \u201cAmerigeddon,\u201d Norris never thought about what he would do if he lost power for a week, a month or a year. But Heavin\u2019s script forced him to consider what he would do if the action he was directing suddenly became reality.<\/p>\n \u201cI am not a full-on prepper,\u201d Norris explained. \u201cI\u2019m not a hard conspiracy theorist, but I think people should on some level be prepared just in case something were to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n He explained how he has prepared for an emergency: \u201cI have guns, I have food, I have water all put away. Am I set up for a yearlong EMP strike that knocks out the power grid for a year? Not even close, but I have the bare essentials that could get my family and I through a month, and I do have a plan if it really gets bad, a place to go that is very well-stocked and very well-prepared.<\/p>\n \u201cI would suggest for anybody just to have the bare basics \u2013 some rice, some beans, some water, sugar, and just pack it away real nice, put it away somewhere. If you need it, you\u2019ve got it. If you don\u2019t, thank God.\u201d<\/p>\n However, preparedness is not the only message in \u201cAmerigeddon.\u201d Norris and Heavin also had much to say about America\u2019s leaders.<\/p>\n \u201cOur film says our leadership, the establishment in Washington, is bought and paid for by the elites of the world, that one percent of the one percent,\u201d Norris revealed.<\/p>\n Norris and Heavin did not name any of the global elites in their film, preferring to let viewers concoct their own theories about who exactly is pulling the strings behind the U.S. government. Norris said there is one line in which the global elite \u201cpuppet master\u201d says to the president of the United States, \u201cWhen you sell your soul, it\u2019s a onetime thing; there\u2019s no going back.\u201d<\/p>\n Norris believes government corruption is commonplace in Washington, as Donald Trump has declared regularly on the campaign trail. He thinks it\u2019s foolish for Americans to blindly trust their leaders.<\/p>\n \u201cThe most ridiculous thing as an American we could do is bury our heads and think everything\u2019s great, the world\u2019s great, our leaders have our best interests in mind,\u201d Norris warned.<\/p>\n He said he\u2019s been glad to see many commenters on his film\u2019s trailer<\/a> <\/span>affirm they see what\u2019s going on, are fed up with government and are ready to stand and fight corruption. He also pointed to a recent poll<\/a> <\/span>that found fewer than one in five Americans trust the government all or most of the time. It\u2019s all evidence of the awakening he believes is necessary.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re at a tipping point, I believe, in this country,\u201d Norris said. \u201cWe are at a tipping point, and it\u2019s palpable, the feeling out there. You can just feel it. It\u2019s thick and it\u2019s nerve-wracking, and if I weren\u2019t a man of faith and if I didn\u2019t have my Christian values, I think I\u2019d be running around like crazy freaking out over this.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAmerigeddon\u201d is only the first in a series of planned films and TV projects through which Norris and Heavin hope to promote patriotic values and protect the country\u2019s freedoms. Norris told WND the next project they plan to do will portray what the world would look like a year after an EMP strike. They also hope to explore what would happen if the banks declared a holiday in America as they\u2019ve done in Greece.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat happens here in America when the banks declare a holiday and 50 million Americans that are reliant on government services cannot get their food stamps, they cannot get their entitlement from the government?\u201d Norris asked. \u201cWhat\u2019s going to happen one week after that happens? We\u2019re going to have riots like crazy throughout the country. So I firmly believe that what our government wants is to create chaos in the United States, and it\u2019s slowly but surely happening.\u201d<\/p>\n He pointed to liberal billionaire George Soros and MoveOn.org and the organized chaos they have been causing lately, including disrupting Donald Trump rallies. He also cited Henry Kissinger\u2019s suggestion that chaos is necessary to usher in a new world order.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s all nerve-wracking, Norris admitted, because it\u2019s hard to believe the United States of America has come to this.<\/p>\n \u201cI was raised in the \u201960s, \u201970s and \u201980s when America was the greatest place on Earth. We had the greatest generation as our grandfathers,\u201d Norris recalled. \u201cAnd I look now and I\u2019m going, where is our greatest generation? Where is this America that we used to live in? It\u2019s gone; it\u2019s not there.\u201d<\/p>\n For a list of theaters where \u201cAmerigeddon\u201d will be shown and for more information on the movie, visit the film\u2019s official website.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Here is the trailer:<\/p>\n
