yep. It isn’t going to end well for freedom and liberty. We all get impatient so quickly now days. I feel bad for these patriots trying to do the right thing for all of us.
Maybe, it is just time for our republic to close up shop.
That is what I was think as well.
No disrespect to anyone intended, FreeAtlanta, but these folks do seem like the shallow end of the gene pool.
Looked like getting the ladder up the power pole was their intellectual challenge of the day.

That's some pretty pricey initial diagnosis, especially if they didn't skimp on the hardware in the box pushing it up to $10k a unit.
Oh, and the other fun part, now that this video is out, folks will know that ‘used cameras’ are easily available and pretty easy to pick up, compared to copper wire and bronze plaques.
I know folks can blow money pretty well, but this is government level blowing money. Wow.
Freedom and Liberty are not in peril. That part of Truth is Eternal.
Our participation is voluntary, usually. Therein lies the rub.
That next part has always been up to US.
Let’s see how this goes.
no doubt.
You could pick up $3.00 cameras on Amazon and cover the area along with a cellphone transmitter, weather-proof box for a total of about a hundred dollars.
Who are these people trying to fool?
Why two cameras, what if there's two perps; fail to identify one, here's your million dollar fine...
Regulations, boy, they are an never ending layer of cost on our country.
They are criminals and should be treated as such. period.
Calling yourself a Patriot does not make you one.
I am sure the British thought the same of the colonialist who protected the weapons cache’s.
Actually, yeah, they did and clearly stated they did and killed or imprisoned any that opposed them.
It is sad how Free Republic has become Tory Redcoats over the last few years.

Went to a few tea party events in STuart Florida a couple years ago and there were several gub mint mookabookers filming everyone they could.
Thanks for the pix. Have more? A closeup of the box innards maybe?
LOL!!
We no longer may go about our business anonymously in this country. Soon, the gubbamint will know when you leave your home, arrive at your destination. It's all touted as crime fighting tools.
Big brother gubbamint....ain't it grand?

My guess, judging from his facial injuries, is that he may have been kicked by a cow or horse a long time ago.
Electrical substation surveillance isn't my forte, but I do know how to use Google ("Substation surveillance cameras") and I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. And I do know a thing or two about cameras.
The cameras (there were two at each station, 6 miles from the refuge) were Canon VB H43 pan/tilt/zoom day/night etc cameras. They retail starting at $2,285 apiece. Canon VB H43. They look completely different from the other cameras I Googled that are shown on pages describing surveillance camera systems for substations, and the housing they were in was completely different as well.
One would think the power company could install $700 PTZ Dome cameras and still be in compliance, but what do I know about how power companies spend their federally-mandated dollars. Like I said...not my forte. But if they are installing $10,000 worth of camera equipment to point at the road instead of the substation, to protect a power station serving maybe 6 farmhouses still remaining in this remote area 150 miles from the nearest "metropolitan" center (if "metropolitan" describes Bend, Oregon), well then... No wonder the power bill is so damn high.
How much fly ash can a football hold? (Yeah, I know- football field sized. Just bustin'.)
Whoops.
