What's the story locally?
I suppose you can't fault them for taking the official position of the clinton administration and the MSM. But in point of fact there were a lot of Middle Easterners involved in the OKC bombing, including discussions with al Qaeda in Syria and the apparent involvement of some of Saddam's Republican Guards. It just wasn't convenient to follow it up. And it never will be convenient, because the FBI and CIA have too much at stake in the coverup.
Sorry, not Syria, Phillipines. It's getting too late here.
fyi camera incident
C'mon, get some competent trackers in there! If a group of men emerged from the woods, SOMETHING would have been found.
I hope these guys are caught soon. A future attack on the electrical grid was discussed during and after the blackout in 2003.
There is a war going on and, the first act of nuclear terrorism that occurs, all will change. They will find out they better not play with us any more.
Riiiiiiiiiight!
That's the local paper's report. Yesterday they were asking about some kind of gloves they found near the towers. They wanted to know if someone may have had them stolen & gave a description that sounded to me like a lot of commone work gloves.
Pewaukee is pretty far away from Oak Creek, so I was sort of surprised to see that the story had traveled there, though it's where the corporate office of the power company is located.
Never - ever, trust a Hobit.
They have fury feet.

I seriously doubt that the tower sabotage was anything but eco terrorism, but it is interesting that the towers are two miles due south of the Milwaukee Islamic Center.
The local police department is putting everything they have into solving this case. They have collected a lot of physical evidence and have several security camera tapes of the area.
Could possibly be some kind of inside job, specially since the investigation shifted out to Pewaukee.
As far as removing nuts, er, I happen to have a little bit of knowledge in the area of jumbo sized nuts & bolts. What are you talking about when you say huge? You'd be surprised what kind of torque you can get with a wrench that has a long pipe slipped over it's handle. Also too, if you know the size & configuration of the nut, you can manufacture up a socket for it with a bit of steel & a welder.
I had heard the nuts were like 4 inches in Diameter around the screws. I have some big pipe wrenches and they won't span out that big.
The sockey thing makes sense. We better stop this or we'll have feds on the doorstep! ; )
Hmmm. I've been known to do something similar myself. Not into techno, though. Usually it is a big bird, or an unusual nest, and on rare occassions, both. A lot of places I get to, these things are the only "trees" within miles for the poor buggers to roost or nest in.
what I have not seen mentioned with this story is that the Kewaskum nuclear plant about [50 mi north of Milwaukee] went off line on Sat. [the same day the towers fell] for about 35 days of maintenance work. reported in the Urinal.
also have heard scattered reports that other towers had loosened bolts.
bigger picture/connect the dots?
You had me going there, wondering when Kewauskum put in a power plant, much less a nuclear plant.
Kewaunee is closer to Green Bay than it is to Milwaukee.
