The threat is not growing... the acknowledgement of the threat is increasing...

climbed under the road and cut AT&T fiber-optic cables, temporarily knocking out phone service.

At the risk of sounding obtuse, how would they know that's where the power station's phone service was located? Is that just public domain information?

100 rounds in 19 minutes? These guys need to ditch the bolt actions.

[hal ogen]

I wonder how things would go if 100 attacks like that occurred simultaneously.

With all the spying on citizens, maybe the government drones don’t have time to go after terrorists.

[andyk]

I heard more from the MSM about Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus than I ever heard about this attack on our infrastructure.

[MeganC]

Naturally we need to give up some more freedoms and liberties in response to this purported threat that may not be anything more than some jerks from the FBI running another false-flag/provocateur operation.

Only is a matter of when the next attack will come. Stay Safe everyone! This is not a matter of if.

The feds have just figured this out? The US electrical grid is a century old patchwork of cobbled together systems, controlled by a piecemeal control network. An icestorm or errant tree branch can knock out power to millions,
and these people are worried about foreign sabotage. An idiot with a rifle can easily knock down a major grid section for a prolonged period. The electrical grid and power plants are way past due for major overhauls and upgrades. It’s an investment well worth making.

*if* it were only that simple.

[free from tyranny]

With Chris Kyle (Feb 13) being dead, looks like the second stringers were brought in.

[The Great RJ]

Imagine the havoc if they had just one RPG or planted explosives. Now consider a coordinated attack on several similar electric installations in different parts of the country...large portions of the US would be in the dark.

[no-to-illegals]

It’s an investment well worth making.

Over the course of time, and relatively recently to be exact ... Major power companies have been taken over by CEOs supporting democrats. Is only a matter of *when*

[Dead Corpse]

My thoughts exactly.

And more...
