Attacks on Pacific north-west power stations raise fears for US electric grid
Guardian ^ | 12/10/22 | Dani Anguiano

A string of attacks on power facilities in Oregon and Washington has caused alarm and highlighted the vulnerabilities of the US electric grid.

The attacks in the Pacific north-west come just days after a similar assault on North Carolina power stations that cut electricity to 40,000 people.

As first reported by Oregon Public Broadcasting and KUOW Public Radio, there have been at least six attacks, some of which involved firearms and caused residents to lose power. Two of the attacks shared similarities with the incident in Moore county, North Carolina, where two stations were hit by gunfire. Authorities have not yet revealed a motive for the North Carolina attack.

The four Pacific north-west utilities whose equipment was attacked have said they are cooperating with the FBI. The agency has not yet confirmed if it is investigating the incidents.

I am almost sort of kind of hoping maybe greenie places having to live without power for an extended period would wake them up. But, they are leftists, so the lesson would not be learned nor retained.

FALSE FLAGS by the FIB army, ANTIFA. Why? Because the American people are UNDER ATTACK, that’s why.

Not by conservatives, but Democrat trash like ANTIFA. Odd since Dems are National Socialists (NAZIs). Just a marketing gimic.

Until these hyped up articles, people in Oregon and Washington were completely unaware of them. So, . . no alarm.

This is one way to turn people against the Greens. These people are idiots.

I will bet dollars to donuts whoever did this did not keep quiet and bragged to dozens of people, some of whom are not sympathetic. It’s only a matter of time.
