Who’s Attacking Our Power Grid?
National Review ^ | 27 Dec, 2022 | JIM GERAGHTY

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...

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 attacks on the electric system predate the war.

The first attack (that I am aware of happened in California I believe in 2019.

A high powered rifle took out a substation.

My impression is that this is the actions of militant Greens.

The fact that the Feds have not captured the perps is, for me, evidence of that.

Democrats. They have not done a single thing to increase energy output. Only shutting down power plants and blocking oil and gas drilling and any new pipelines.

The corrupt FBI has billions of dollars to keep track of every conservative in the county. Zero money to stop illegals flooding into our country. Zero money to deal with out-of-control criminals in democrat hellhole cities.

So... what can the corrupt FBI do?

Maybe they should take some of the cartel kickback money and place a few cameras around substations.

Then, with cameras if they catch liberal antifa thugs they can ignore the crime. And if they catch conservatives they can instantly leak the news to the Washington Post and every other social media scam artist they pay off to carry their water.
