They know who did it and why it was done. But the longer they hold off fixing it, the harder they can punish them (for interrupting a drag queen show)... Somewhat similar to the Jan 6th hostages.

“Why was there thought to add a drag queen to the story?”

There was considerable friction in that area over a drag show in Southern Pines. Libs are convinced that opponents shot up those substations to prevent the show from happening. It did occur during the show. I suppose that could be the case, but there is no evidence yet, just wild accusations.

I think whoever is responsible has a good general knowledge of how the grid works, and detailed knowledge of how it works in Moore county. I would think that they are interviewing a whole lot of Duke employees and contractors. I lean to some of our “guests” who arrived from the south, and who picked Moore county for a trial run, with the target picked by a foreign government or terrorist group. Just my $0.02 worth.

These substations are all fenced in. If I was young and ambitious, I would be working on some sort of bullet proof curtain that could be made cheaply and hung on a chain link fence.

“But they’re still assuming it’s white supremacists, or right wing extremists, or white nationalist, or something. “

You just made that up.

I think 2-3 guys got liquored up and decided to see if they could take out the substation.

And they know which Trump supporter they are going to pin it upon, also.

I think this is a Jussie Smollett / Bubba Wallace story.

Wanna bet?

Were there any pallets of brick prepositioned in the area? I never heard any hype of the ensuing investigations that must have accompanied all the misdeeds suffered by the cvs store chain and others during the peaceful protesting.

“Sniper Attack On Calif. Power Station Raises Terrorism Fears”

I remember that. I have not heard of any more incidents like that until now. Trial balloon? Proof of concept? Vandals?

I think if cold weather really sets in and the grid is already under pressure, we could see more of this.

Reports are that the perp knew where to aim rifle fire for maximum damage.

I'd start with a short list of those recently fired from the place. Then spread out from there.

“They also never figured out who placed the “bomb” in the Senate Building around January 6, 2021 either.”

There were two bombs, one at DC RNC office, and the other at the DNC office. That’s a false flag snow job of immense proportions.

““Fields said the FBI and Homeland Security are involved in the investigation.””

Now we have a valid suspect list....

The Mexican Border is wide open. It’s only a matter of time before another terrorist attack in the USA.

Producing some heavy overtime for unionized Duke Power workers. Nice Christmas cash flow.
Or is that too simple of an explanation?

Yes, they did. The bomber was a man named Anthony Quinn Warner, he died in the blast.

>>some sort of bullet proof curtain

Brother was a fence contractor for years, specializing in automatic gates.

His crews did several electric substations in Texas.

Was told that DHS was requiring 10 foot brick walls and steel gates with zero visibility to see through.
