Isn’t it remarkable how few billionaires and foundations are Pro-Freedom & Liberty and how little influence they have?

The supposition of it being to protest pervert events is reaaaaach. No logic to that conclusion. If anything it is a test by enviro radicals.

Only the FBI has the ability to set up any coordinated attacks...
Probably orchestrated by the MI FBI offices, since their prior successes give them cred within the FBI...

False flag, yes, but look at the bright side: At least the Bonneville PA spokesman pictured in the article dressed up in his best hobo clothes in preparation for being depicted in international media

Opponents of a drag show? Really?! These attacks show sophistication and technical expertise. I don’t think it’s opponents of drag shows. Perhaps dry runs or beta tests for a more nationwide level action.

I’ll bet this is Smollett / Bubba Wallace Hysteria.

Anyone Right was driven out of Portland 12 years ago.

NC looks like guys with guns shooting signs, insulators, and went further. Not uncommon, probably just more peeps shooting.

"suspicion it's a right-wing protest over drag events"

Yes, suspicion invented and raised as Democrat Party propaganda.

why would right-wingers inconvenience others who are probably also upset of drag events? Sounds more like project protection for the drag event lovers, who are more likely the ones who are retaliating against peaceful protests against these events.

They make up these “right-wing” boogie men, but they never are actually the ones who are committing the crimes.

As I said on another thread, the NC incident sounds more like drunk red-necks (or FBI players) and the NW incidents sound more like ANTIFA culprits.

When I live out in the country in Pennsylvania, the old glass insulator caps on power lines would serve as targets to the inebriated and the idiotic.

” In North Carolina, the FBI is currently investigating if their grid attacks were triggered by opponents of a drag show.”

Couldn’t be environ-mental cases triggered by the existence of electricity? What exactly is the predicate of this “investigation”’s direction? Pre-conceived narratives?

When you see whirling police car lights all over Mar-a-Lago tonight you'll know they got the warrants.

Law enforcement paraphrasing the Georgio Tsoukalos meme: We're not saying it was deplorables....but it was deplorables.

Reporter: Did the slack jawed inbred white males have MAGA hats on?

Chief: Yes, the dirty suckas had the hats and foul smelling long underwear on.

Pure unsubstantiad speculation. There are no domestic groups who are not FBI, who would attack the power grid due to a gathering of homosexuals. Damn ludicrous.

Nope, IMO, this is all a deliberate and coordinated effort to leverage everything negative to scapegoat Conservatives.

You are correct. It started with Obama and Hillary and has only gotten worse over the years. Biden has doubled-down on the rhetoric. And, the media has only been too happy to participate and put the rhetoric on a mega-phone. All without any evidence. Each time a crime is proven to be a leftist, they just swivel to the next one, all without apologizing or recognizing they were wrong.

I fear that violence against conservatives is going to become more common-place and that even judges are going to just shrug and say, "They are conservatives so they deserved what was coming to them". As a society, conservatives were foolish to think the craziness was going to just stay on college campuses. We were wrong in ceding that territory to the left.
