Five electricity substations in Oregon and Washington are attacked just days after two in North Carolina were shot up causing widespread power outages
UK Daily Mail ^ | 12/8/2020 | Sophie Mann

The incidents come to light via a federal memo following a deliberate attack last week in Moore County, North Carolina, that left tens of thousands of people without power for days as seasonal temperatures fall.

In Washington state and Oregon, spokespeople for several energy companies - Puget Sound Energy, the Cowlitz County Public Utilities District and Bonneville Power Administration - confirmed the attacks occurred in November.

A federal law enforcement memo revealed that the Pacific Northwest substations have described attacks using 'handtools, arson, firearms, and metal chains possibly in response to an online call for attacks on critical infrastructure.'

The FBI is on it. I think it is the Amish coordinating with school moms against groomers. /sarc/

Not that I am aware of.

I actually saw trail of attempted destruction of 3 wheat fields at harvest time 10 years ago. Someone driving down road and setting one after another. (not major highway)

A week later I went to a farm show, the FBI had a booth there. I told them about it. They told me it sounded like Earth Liberation Front. It is more common up in the NW part of the USA.

Could be. Could be Antifa, China, Russia, North Korea too. No one has to put boots on the ground in the US to completely destroy us. Take out the grid or water supply or both, physically or remotely and 90% of us will be dead in 2 years or less, without a shot being fired by foreign troops.

I did not see the vehicle, I saw the trail of fires set about a mile apart. All were put out by locals. If it had been a windy day it could have been really bad. Other factor, It was on the West side of the highway, prevailing winds locally come from the South West to the North East.

But they did try.

The road is a 2 lane road, the State of Texas directs lots of wide loads and large vehicles down this road. It is fairly busy, but very small population in the county.

Funny how our wonderful government can tell us stories they concocted about January 6th and all their made up facts about it, but they can’t seem to come up with who is doing this.

I smell a big fat rat.

Also could be a so called ally of a western nation pissed off at how the global agenda run buy the US has compromised their country as far as energy this winter. There is massive anger going world wide lately.

Or, it could just be a copycat of whoever done it in NC. Or not?

Our regime doesn’t seem to care too much it seems.

Lol! I was thinking the same when I heard about it on the radio in the car earlier this morning.

As I said on the other thread, the NC thing could be anyone from a few beer-guzzling Bubbas, a disgruntled former employee, a current employee needing overtime, some guy who’s ticked off after getting his power turned off for nonpayment or angry about higher bills, some climate activist kid.

Who knows? Maybe it was a female, y’all, a sort of cross between Greta Thunberg and Annie Oakley. Now there’s a scary thought!

Clearly the work of ultra-super duper-MAGA-right wing-Church going-pro 2nd ammendment-election denying-far right wingers.

Sarcasm aside, wouldn’t be surprised if this is terrorists testing tactics on a small scale. There needs to be armed surveillance at the largest sites at risk, and orders to shoot if needed. Taking out power could cost innocent lives, this is no trivial matter.

Maybe they will find a MAGA hat, and blame it on Trump.

That could well be true.
