The Federal Bureau of Investigation issued an arrest warrant Thursday for a man who allegedly removed bolts from high voltage transmission towers near Redding and in Oregon. The bureau issued warnings to authorities in four western states.
Local and state officials are participating in the search for Michael Devlyn Poulin, 62, of Spokane, Wash., whom they said was seen tinkering with the leg of a large electrical tower near Anderson on Monday, then driving away in a pickup truck.

From the article:
Poulin's ex-wife, Marianne Torres of Spokane, said she hasn't seen him since mid-October and didn't know where he was. The couple divorced in September
From your link:
- Julie Smith, Susan Whaley, Marshall Peterson, Michael Poulin, Marianne Torres and Noah Skocilich plan to attend the State convention in Ellensburg this coming weekend.
Sounds like the same guy. Marianne Torres is the name of his exwife.

Can't help myself here. Downing a major tower will not hurt the system...but a limb blowing on to two lines knocks down the system in seven states.
Grossly oversimplified.
You haven't kept up on this - have you?

My heart says closet Islamist but my mind is telling me Milita whacko. Decisions decisions..Maybe he's an animal-rights extremist, cross-dressing Islamist, save-the-whales militia whacko.
Or, as a friend of mine put it:
"The 'Fruits of Islam' are not an Iranian gay rights activist group!"

Maybe this explains the beard. Looks like Torres has also been involved in this Intifada stuff.

A short quote from his very long treatise on the hated JEWS tells us exactly what his politics are.
"But it does an even better job of directing funding and propaganda for key American political races in this country. Every key American Congressperson, Senator and President owes his or her incumbency to the influence and/or funding of very well organized American Zionists, sometimes known as "the Israeli lobby." That is why even black members of Congress have voted to allow Israel to trade with South Africa unimpeded by sanctions imposed upon other such trading nationsthey are the best Congresspeople Zionist money can buy."
by Poulin
No rocket science here.

Thanks for the link. Maybe removing bolts from the transmission towers is preparation for Ramadan?

Local and state officials are participating in the search for Michael Devlyn Poulin, 62, of Spokane, Wash., whom they said was seen tinkering with the leg of a large electrical tower near Anderson on Monday, then driving away in a pickup truck. A similar vehicle driven by a man matching Poulin's description was seen leaving an incident at a transmission tower in Klamath Falls, Ore., Purcell said. The FBI warnings were sent to authorities in California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington.
I didn't know this until I heard about it on TV last night, but after we had our huge power outage in the U.S. North East, another happend in Israel (so far, can't find an English article for verification). Then the Brittish outage (Rush hour power cut hits London). Then in Italy (Nationwide Power Outage Disrupts Italy ), which killed three people. All within 1 1/2 months.
Now, we're getting warnings about a solor flare up tomarrow, where the electricle grid will be disrupted.
