FBI concerned about threat of terror-induced blackouts

The FBI found no evidence of any type of terrorism or criminal hacking in its investigation of the August power blackout in the Northeast, but the threat of such action remains a concern, the FBI's top counterterrorism official told a House committee Thursday.

I'd like to think the FBI is right here, but I remain skeptical.

New York
London
Sydney

Isn't it interesting that the three allies have been hit by blackouts, nobody else?

Odds are, these blackouts are not random occurances, despite the cover stories.

Since when does the FBI tell us everything we need to know?

Next thing you're going to tell me is that it is perfectly believable that air turbulence caused the tail to fall off of American Air 587, even though it just happened to be taking off from a NY airport almost exactly 2 months to the day after 911, and it has never happened before or since (although Richard Reid almost caused it to happen AGAIN less than 2 weeks later). They DO NOT tell us everything, get it?

I like an athletic body. And don't mind a big butt. I don't think her sister is good looking.

I would change that to "grotesquely huge to the point of deformity" (look again at the photo man!), but to each his own.

When did Sydney have a black out?

terrorists CLAIMED credit.
the us does NOT know where the failure occured
the arabscummies have been talking about hacking relay switches and taking courses on it for years.

the part of canada where the hacking of relays could have occured, is it safe from arabscummies?

since they took credit, and since they could have done it from canada, and since our government is NOT denying that it MIGHT be something like this... guess what?

looks like a duck, walks like and talks like it too.

We have been sent a shot across the bow "we have you in our sights" and "can hit you from within and from without, in nearby nations who do NOT intend to fully cooperate with you in this war on terror...'

message sent. message received... and now message is being relayed "gently" to the nation...
our globalism has made us incredibly vulnerable.

welcome to the 21st century...

"FBI concerned about threat of terror-induced blackouts"

Er, a lot of people getting shiite-faced during Yellow Alerts?

[DoughtyOne]

Now, the question is, did the short circuit cause the fire or was some electronic command given that caused problems? I don't honestly know. A ten block area was affected.

It just seems strange to me that all of a sudden within a month to six weeks the three of us have had major outages.

I missed the one on Sydney. When was it?

[DoughtyOne]

Yes I do get it. Truth I can deal with. Subtrifuge I can't.

Psyllium husks is great for solving constipation, just mix a tablespoon in with some cold water once or twice a day and after a week, your colon is all cleaned out.

Please see reply 8 and 9. Thank you.

My outlook on our future tells me that even if we stayed within our nations boundaries we'd still have terrorism and problems with mid-eastern states. If it wasn't our support for Israel it would be the oil. If it wasn't the oil it would be our culture. If it wasn't our culture it would be our religions beliefs. If it weren't for our religious beliefs it would be their desire to take over the world. One way or another we're going to face this problem.

That's my take on it.

I did, thanks. I just can't believe that terrrorists would give a warning shot.

Flight 587 was never truly resolved, was it?

Too much coincidences, as of late. Let's read the history books in twenty years, and fill in all of the gaps.

This will be the century of the world war with allah's followers.

Well I think you should remember that the Palestinians just created their own 52 card deck of Israeli targets for terrorist attack. Telegraphing? Let's face it, these guys are playing with a four card deck in a 52 card world.
