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.' ***

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...
Is ELF still around under another name?
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
The Daily Fail is at it again. /facepalm
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.
Nope...

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.

No you're not the only one.
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.
photo caption continued....
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.
Well, Portland is known as a bastion of right-wing extremism.......
