[Rightwing Conspiratr1]

I have a VERY HARD TIME believing there's ONLY a simple, natural, no-skull-duggery explanation for this.
I just don't believe it.

No really it was just a common ground squirrel caught in the transformer on the power grid. There is no evidence that it was wearing a turban and had trained in Iran. ;-P

There were relatively specific prophecies about such. I may get one posted later.

I don't know that it was a specific terrorist act--though certainly computer hackers of Al Qaeda etc. vintage have been trying for such rather relentlessly.

But even just the negligence that currently appears involved is suspicious to me.

And all this like just heard on Fox: "We have not been able to pinpoint the cause of this massive outage."

. . . . that's just . . . . so at best weak to me. There's just toooooo much slipperiness still.

Maybe there was no overt active conspiracy type action involved. But there sure was some set-up involved, then--if only of a deliberately negligent sort. There were too many outages of massive proportions in decades past for there to have been no solution at this point. Our technology is not REALLY in the dark ages like this makes it look like.
