The two attacks on Portland's electrical substations were pre-meditated, officials said, as other states are on 'high alert' after Washington and North Carolina were also targeted.
Officials in Oregon are still probing the Thanksgiving electrical attacks at Portland General Electric and Bonneville Power Administration in Clackamas County.
In total, at least seven attacks have been recorded in the US in recent weeks. In North Carolina, the FBI is currently investigating if their grid attacks were triggered by opponents of a drag show.
'We have confirmed that this was malicious intent, it was no accident,' Doug Johnson, a BPA spokesperson told KATU news.

Power stations in a number of US states have been threatened or targeted for attacks in recent weeks, prompting American law enforcement to warn citizens about a need to secure the power grid
*** About 106 attacks on the electrical grid in the US have been reported from January to August of this year - and there have been close to 600 since 2014, according to NBC. *** Meanwhile, the FBI is investigating if the two attacks in North Carolina were linked to an electrical substation were intended to kill the power at a drag queen event. *** Investigators are now determining if the backlash the 18 or older show received leading up to the performance led to the targeted attack. *** The US Department of Homeland Security Office of Intelligence and Analysis warned early this year that domestic extremists 'have developed credible, specific plans to attack electricity infrastructure since at least 2020.' ***

Notice nobody has been arrested. 🤔
At the very least, they’re taking advantage of the attacks to cast suspicion on the right.
Earth First does this kind of thing.
SEVEN plants across America are sabotaged amid suspicion it’s a right-wing protest over drag events
So easy for them to pick a boogeyman. Right now, Twitter, Axios, Salon, etc are running with that assertion and it will soon find some acceptance. The MSM will pick up and run with it.
Of course, it can’t be any environmental anarchists or possibly a state actor. Course not.
And millions will fall for this.
Yeah, right-wing, that was my first thought too . . .
Horse Manure!
It's Prog Socialist Homo Enviro Terrorist Gaslighting and False Flag Propaganda.
And the sabotage of farms and other food producers has nothing to do with them either.
Would they like to pull my other leg?
I have tied the most adorable bells on it.
“currently investigating if their grid attacks were triggered by opponents of a drag show”
This does not make sense except as a way to smear people opposed to one of their pet causes.
People who are opposed to a particular event aren’t going to knock out power for tens of thousands of other people who have nothing to do with that event, especially not during winter (almost).
I thought Chief Moose died recently?
"We're looking for two white guys in a van."
You beat me to it, but yeah!
LOL - it’s leftist terrorists and they know it.
Whatever happened to that favorite phrase, "without evidence"? After Trump won, the media preceded his every statement with "without evidence."
Even when Trump met the legal definition of evidence (e.g., affidavits), the media reported: "Without evidence Trump claims election stolen."
What evidence are Portland officials offering for their theory that it was "right-wing extremists"?
“suspicion it’s a right-wing protest over drag events”
Huh?. What is the connection?
“Earth First does this kind of thing.”
Yup!
And every radical leftist geoup gets funding from Tides, Rockefellers, and foreign enemy governments. They’re all fronts for destabilizing capitalism, to install socialism (whatever brand, communism, fascism, nazi-ism, all socialist).
The ONLY solution is to ban assault weapons!!!
If you would like more information about what’s happening in Oregon, please FReepmail me. Please send me your name by FReepmail if you want to be on this list.
Biden/Obama, and Democrats have been becoming very aggressive in demonizing their political opponents. Obama calling people "bitter clingers". Hillary calling opponents, "deplorables". The, more aggressively with Biden's national Hitler speech outright demonizing Republicans. And make no mistake, it seemed, to some degree, have worked in the mid-terms and now without a shred of any evidence or proof it is being openly hinted that Conservatives are doing this in retribution for the grooming drag events. Show me the proof.
The same was done for Pelosi's hammer attack, no proof, other than someone stating DePape allegedly said "Where's Nancy".
There is a very deliberate and coordinated smear and demonization campaign going on in this country very similar to Nazi Germany in the 1930's. Anytime there is a shooting, the bodies aren't even carried to the morgue and already the deliberate speculation is that it's some MAGA person. And of course, when it turns out, as usual, to be a left-wing nutcase, then the event immediately drops off the national discussion.
Nope, IMO, this is all a deliberate and coordinated effort to leverage everything negative to scapegoat Conservatives.
