Energy Secretary Warns of Enemy's Capability to Shut Down US Power Grid! Get Ready For Lights Out!
DAHB0077 ^

Posted on 06/07/2021 7:42:26 PM PDT by Enlightened1

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm on Sunday warned in stark terms that the US power grid is vulnerable to attacks.

Asked By CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union” whether the nation’s adversaries have the capability of shutting it down, Granholm said: “Yeah, they do.”

“There are thousands of attacks on all aspects of the energy sector and the private sector generally,” she said, adding, “It’s happening all the time. This is why the private sector and the public sector have to work together.”-

We’re stuck between two tyrannies. There are the globalists(Bilderberg...) and then there are the communist chinese. BOTH just see us as being in the way. The both of them are more than willing to let us be trampled by the other. Then they’ll have their final match for all the marbles. Of course none of them will die in it... That’s what they have us for. To these scumbags we are nothing but livestock.

This is the plot of latest Mitch Rapp book “Total Power” Sort of a how-to instructional manual.

Didn’t the senile asshat occupying the White House give China access to our grid and component manufacturing in the past several months?

The Manchurians are upon us.

We should have hardened/shielded our grid decades ago. There are governmental and private studies showing up to 90-something percent of Americans would die in the first year after an EMP destroys our grid and everything digital. It should keep us all awake at night.

It goes way beyond that! I was a LEO BEFORE seatbelt laws. I watched as it was being done and learned. The whole thing was from some insurance boardrooms. “...hey, maybe if we can reduce our payout for injuries while still charging the same prices... instant profit! So... they bribe crooked politicians (who’ve never spent an honest day in their whole life) to rob you of your liberty so they might make an extra dollar. While this scam was being pulled, they ran ads on radio and TV talking about how many lives would’ve been saved if people had been wearing the seatbelts, they were even specific, they spewed actual numbers. As though they ACTUALLY knew. WHAT A CROCK OF BULL CRAP! I worked traffic accidents as a regular routine deal, it was NOTHING abnormal. Just another mess to pick up after. BUT... Here is the TRUTH! The uniform traffic report that EVERY LEO in the country filled out at that time had nowhere on the report to indicate if a seatbelt had been worn. There was absolutely NO WAY that they could come up with specific numbers of lives that could be saved. To boot, I have worked fatality accidents, I tell you now that no seatbelt would have or did make any damned difference. I’ll give you a little more information. Following the whole insurance seatbelt scam... every LEO started carrying a specific item. Something to cut the seatbelt to save them from burning after the crash.

“One Second After”. Anyway, we should have hardened the energy sector against hackers and EMP. No one listens. Democrats and most of the uninformed American populace are too stupid to comprehend the consequences.

If the run on toilet paper last year and the run on gas in the southeast a month or so ago does not get one to start prepping, nothing will.

I expect “the big one” of outages will happen soon and without power, much chaos will erupt.

Yes, it’s out in paperback now. Pretty good story, believable plot.

In other words, Biden wants us all on solar and wind. However it has to happen. Just like he wants us off gas and beef. Let the ‘hackers’ take the heat off of him and make us ‘realize’ how right he is.

While I’m sure an EMP attack would be a catastrophe, such an action would be a direct act of war and payback would be massive. Think what a MOAB dropped on 3 Gorges Dam would do to China.

The world’s utility infrastructure relies on the SCADA protocol which is reputed to be highly secure. Is it hackable ? I don’t know but I would expect the biggest danger would be the CommieCrats just turning things off and blaming a scape-goat in a false flag setup.

Your thoughts ?

Then there’s this...

> “There are thousands of attacks on all aspects of the energy sector and the private sector generally,” she said, adding, “It’s happening all the time. This is why the private sector and the public sector have to work together.”-

The system must be fairly robust for it to have withstood all those thousands of attacks happening all the time, wouldn’t it?
