On the menu today: I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it appears someone is attacking the electrical power grid of the Seattle area, which comes after a series of similar incidents elsewhere in the Pacific Northwest as well as in Florida. And the FBI never caught the guy who attacked the electrical grid down in North Carolina earlier this month. Shooting up a power substation is apparently the latest fad.
Electric Boogaloo
Picture it: It’s Christmas, you’re about to prepare a big meal for the whole family, and the power goes out — all the lights, the refrigerator, your computer and cellphone charger, the works. That happened this year for a lot of families in the Seattle area, but it wasn’t wind, snow, or bad weather; someone shot up their local power substation.
The initial Pierce County Sheriff’s Department public statement was . . . curious:
Today at 05:26 am we received a call of a burglary to the Tacoma Public Utilities Substation at 22312 46th Ave E.
Deputies arrived on scene and saw there was forced entry into the fenced area. Nothing had been taken from the substation, but the suspect vandalized the equipment causing a power outage in the area.
Deputies were notified of a second burglary to the TPU substation at 8820 224th St E which also had forced entry with damage to the equipment. Nothing was taken from this site either.
At 11:25 we were notified by Puget Sound Energy that they too had a power outage this morning at 02:39 am. Deputies are currently on scene at this facility where the fenced area was broken into and the equipment vandalized.
At this time deputies are conducting the initial investigation. We do not have any suspects...

I’m guessing that these “perpetrators” are low-tech, enviro-nut, antifa-types. Thus, I think, that for the amount of money these utility companies are charging us; they ought to hire security guards and pay for “shot-spotter” technology around their plants. Then maybe “law enforcement” can can catch a few of these turds and reduce ‘em to hair and snot!
I strongly suspect the FBI or its paid informants setting the stage for a widespread crackdown on “the right” meaning Trump voters and others opposed to the Biden regime.
Yes, four guys who only need to know how to fly a jet. Not land it. All the rest were for crowd control. They probably were not even told they were going to crash the planes. Most likely they were told they were going to hijack only. They did billions in damage to the US economy. They were armed with box cutters.
One of Clancy’s last book had a terrorist attack on the US at a shopping mall. Four or five guys came up through the Mexican border. They shot up a mall in the mid west with semi automatic weapons. The attack was planned for the weekend prior to Thanksgiving to scare people enough to stay home on Black Friday.
This type of attack would not have nearly the same effect today unless they took down Amazon’s and Walmart’s servers so nobody could buy online.
William Forstchen who wrote the book, “One Second After”, has another book that’s around 200 pages of a series of ISIS attacks on elementary schools at multiple locations around the country, even though its fiction is gives everyone an idea of the damage a few determined terrorists with a well thought plan can do.
None of these incidents appear to be coordinated, as yet. But, there are places in this country upon which such “vandalism” could affect entire cities!
How about just WEF hireees
As a pretext for "Commonsense High Powered Rifle Control".
If Russia wanted to take down our grid it would be down.

That was my first hesitation. I almost stopped typing my post. But upon further contemplation, you have to admit their campaign in Ukraine didn’t go as well as they first suggested it would.
Now that’s military, not espionage and sabotage, and thus it’s apples and oranges comparison, but we think of the old USSR as having had an elite level of covert activity. Maybe they don’t any more. It’s probably not well trained personnel that would likely be tracked anyway. The reason for the relative lack of success may be due to tertiary recruiting just like how they use NGOs to do a lot of their digital subterfuge.
I still go back to the question. What has changed in the last 6 months or so. Correlation may not be causation, but that is still my supposition. The war in Ukraine is what is different.
The list of real suspect groups is long (antifa, eco-terrorists, blm, muslims, chinese, russians, north koreans, lgbtxyz, etc, etc) but the FIBbies and DHS will ignore them and and blame straight, white, christian, MAGA males instead.....
(Ya know, because to them we’re the real terrorists who threaten “democracy”.) 🙄🙄
Good point. And these rolling blackouts aren’t building confidence either.
What are these retards doing?
You call them retards but don’t understand. The outages are the only way an understanding can be advertised that there is a need for ore electric power.
It is not because there are going to be electric vehicles, it is because America is outgrowing the available supply. Acres of solar and square miles of wind turbines are not a realistic answer. Coal has been murdered by the Black president.
Nuclear plants on a much smaller scale are required. The old women leading the anti nuc charge are dead or dying. The old hysteria is lessened
And I was glad I have both an EV car and an ICE pickup. Also that I have a large solar array with battery backup. One reason my wife and I have both an EV and ICE car is to give us diversification of energy dependency. If gas is hard to come by (like it was months ago) or too expensive to use a lot of (like it still is IMHO), we can drive the EV more. If power is hard to come by and too expensive to use a lot of, we can drive the ICE pickup more. And if both are hard to come by (i.e. if a storm knocked out power to gas stations in my area), we might can live on solar but ration our power consumption in our house and maybe have some left over to charge the EV. At least enough to get necessary groceries and supplies. For example, yesterday my solar batteries were charged to 71% (not enough solar to top them off to 100%). But I had enough power to keep the house warm without pulling power from the grid until 5:25 AM this morning, at which point my inverters started pulling power from the grid. Since 8:25 AM I've had more solar power coming in than I'm consuming -- so if the grid had been down there's only 3 hours I wouldn't have had power (unless I rationed the power through the night like turning down the thermostat some in my all-electric house from 68℉ to maybe 62℉, or maybe if we had eaten leftovers in the microwave instead of cooking new food in the oven and on the stove).
Electric Boogaloo = Biden’s No Oil Plan

True, especially when they do not mention that the destruction was caused by someone shooting ...
There was another incident a year or more ago when they went into details about bullet holes in specific transformers etc. No one was ever caught then either.
According to someone at my church...it’s right-wing extremists.
That’s what I read in these reports as well. The “burglary “ (break-in) was reported - BUT, NO rifle shots or sniper (transformer) shootings. THOSE were subsequently implied and set up as the “boogy man” nationally by the FBI and the secondary reporting in the democrat party’s national mass media and social media networks.
They better start installing HD cameras at these locations. And monitor them for movement detection.
Are your batteries in your garage or are they in a separate building/shed?
The batteries are in my garage
I would guess antifa.
The democrats anarchist terror wing.
