What I said was and is true. I have no intention of doing any damage to any of the power or water delivery systems. I am sure that I am not the only one, or even one of a very few who see this soft spot. If you add to that collapsing a couple of interstate bridges and rail bridges to slow way down the food/fuel supply and punch a hole in the natural gas pipeline you have just crippled a large city. With no water to drink or to flush your toilet, no power, very little fuel and food things will quickly be a big and potentially violent mess. Within two-three days many tens of thousands of people will be fleeing that mess in every direction they can causing cascading problems that will ripple out at least a hundred miles.
If you backtrack this story to when it first happened one of the reporting news agencies did some interviews that showed the Transformers that were damaged and explained that they were the ones that were readily accessible and easily/quickly replaceable. They then went on to pan the camera and show which other, larger, transformers on site would have taken the grid down for many weeks if the shooters had targeted them. I actually laughed. They showed them the proper targets to hit so there would be a much bigger and longer outage next time. How stupid can you get.
Anyone who understands Unconventional Warfare realized instantly that this was a terrorist act. I don't believe for an instant that our government LE agencies ever had any doubt. I find it interesting that about the same time that they finally admit it that the government is pushing out the seven Hubs that are said to be there to deal with the Glo bull warming situation. Since Glo Bull does not exist I'm wondering what and who they intend to control with these new, and I'm sure heavily armed, government installations. I also want to know exactly who will control this hub and who makes all the rules as to what they are allowed to do.
Pointing out weaknesses rips the cozy feeling from some. It’s would take very little planning to induce a collapse in even a medium sized city. The “better angels of our nature” would soon fly away as survival of the fittest takes over.
