The Washington Post on Friday reported a genuinely alarming event: Russian hackers have penetrated the U.S. power system through an electrical grid in Vermont. The Post headline conveyed the seriousness of the threat:
Russian Hackers Penetrated U.S. Electricity Grid Through A Utility In Vermont, Officials Say
The first sentence of the article directly linked this cyber-attack to alleged Russian hacking of the email accounts of the DNC and John Podesta – what is now routinely referred to as “Russian hacking of our election” – by referencing the code name revealed on Wednesday by the Obama administration when it announced sanctions on Russian officials: “A code associated with the Russian hacking operation dubbed Grizzly Steppe by the Obama administration has been detected within the system of a Vermont utility, according to U.S. officials.”
The Post article contained grave statements from Vermont officials of the type politicians love to issue after a terrorist attack to show they are tough and in control. The state’s Democratic Governor, Peter Shumlin, said:
"Vermonters and all Americans should be both alarmed and outraged that one of the world’s leading thugs, Vladimir Putin, has been attempting to hack our electric grid, which we rely upon to support our quality-of-life, economy, health, and safety. This episode should highlight the urgent need for our federal government to vigorously pursue and put an end to this sort of Russian meddling.. ."

Pandering to their audience to sell laundry detergent.
“Forget crime, immigration, and Islamic terrorism! It’s the Russians! They’re the REAL problem. And look how.... WHITE they are!”
The post will do anything, even lying, to promote the cause of the marxist in chief - bammy.
The RATS still trying set Russia up as the “BIG SATAN”. Anything to take the focus off of themselves.
I expect now hundreds of stories about this blaming the Russians.
Last year, China “hacks” OPM’s clearance database stealing personal info on 4 million government and contractor people. Isn’t stealing all of that info on cleared people as much of a threat as the alleged influencing of an election? Where are all the threats and sanctions against China? I say “hack” because OPM allowed foreign contractor database admins. There was no hack, just an inside job like at the DNC.
Sell laundry detergent?
To undermine Trump and make idiots think that Russia is the Evilest Thing In The World, instead of globalists and mozlems.
That is just it. Nothin on the hacking going on with China and elsewhere. Only the Russians so you know “politics” is behind it.
The demodummies have to keep pointing their fingers toward someone else to take the heat off themselves. The process was perfected by the Clintons and is now copied by the rest of the demodummy thieves.
A laptop in the possession of an employee had malware detected in a virus scan. Said laptop was in no way connected to “the grid.” Said malware has in no way been demonstrated to have targeted “the grid.” Said doofus employee was likely wasting time while on the clock surfing Russian porn sites. They’re notorious for malware and have been for over a decade.
Next.
It’s time to take a look at Bezos from an anti-trust standpoint.
And Christian!

Thank you for posting this story.
I am convinced that the following are not run by mature, adult exectuives:
Wash Post, NY Times, CNN, MSNBC
Yeah, the Russians wanted to infect the Vermont grid. This is like a live action version of that old movie “The Russians are coming, the Russians are coming!”.
The Washington Post = Fake News
