Qui Bono?

Domestic State sponsored terrorism for the nefarious purpose to justify more stringent security measures?

Real domestic terrorism with the goal of disrupting blue state infrastructure?

Foreign state sponsored terrorism just to fuck with us?

One thing for sure is the US grid is extremely vulnerable and with transformer supply on a 20 year back order it wouldn’t take much to shut it all down.

I legitimately think it is all of the above, at different levels, someone is clearly gathering valuabel data from all of these. Well, someones, plural.

Yes, this is why I brought these up in the first place, given the increasing backorder on the transformer, and since the massive fluctuations in the steel market, and how specific transformers all use ONE SINGLE STEEL SUPPLIER (for a very specific type of steel), you can guess how things can go wrong pretty fast.

I live in WA. Puget Sound energy is the only option for power. Just like Cascade Natural Gas is the only Nat Gas option. I was just talking with my husband today about our grid. WA state is a HUGE hydropower state. Grand Coulee Dam supplies power to 20 states along with irrigation to keep our eastern wa grain and fruit growers going. We have over 30 dams which so the same. I’m terrified that those are vulnerable. We have had many electrical substations attacked the last few years. As well as oil trains brining raw crude to refineries. No bueno if we have a major damn breached.

Would a megaquake off Tokyo and ensuing tsunami plus the other side of that plate is westcost usa i think and it might shake too. Would that damage dams in Washington state? Would mean flooding and no power or crops for years maybe. Sorry to think this!

I just kept visualizing the same thing with those monstrous wind turbines

Reminds me of these many reports from South Africa

Basic infrastructure such as power and public transport can not function if there are too many disenfranchised people sabotaging and/or stealing.

I thought of you when I saw this. A dairy co-op in Wisconsin, serving 1400 farms.

There were so many "accidents" and weird yet impactful events that I decided perhaps not to write about it, one because it was making people super-anxious, and second, too many e-mails.

Why all the good foods are becoming scarce, one way or another ?

Controlled demolition, for a global, managed depopulation, for a transhumanist future, basically.

What kind of enterprise? Steal what? There could be more to this than dumb human nature.

Small business to steal money, or valuables to fence/resell is my guess.

Why, its stealing your future, if you put both together. This goes right along with the food processing facility attacks, this is all planned by inHelligence and carried out by broke drug addled patsies.

I thought they might have broken into a place to get evidence of something.

So they were dumb enough to not put the phones in Faraday bags?! And got geofenced.

Yet smart enough to screw with a power station without frying themselves. Not buying the excuse of wanting to raid businesses

It takes literally 30 minutes on Google to find how fragile a power station truly is. If they actually knew what they were doing, they would have done things differently.

There are specific pieces of hardware that are easy to replace, but take time to do it, for example.

To my Fed monitor: I'm not endorsing this sort of action. I like wall power & Internet. I'm just pointing out what you should already know, and if you understand, it's why you should honor your oaths.

This is the common man's Sampson Option. Instead of living in the pod, eating bug paste, and watching VR porn while they wear out their Auto-Blow, they'll just take tech back to the 1890's.

Everybody got to eat organic food in those days, spent lots of time with family, plenty of work outdoors in the fresh air and sunshine, etc. It's understandable why some would prefer that.
