Biden Rescinds Trump Order Banning Chinese Communist Involvement In US Power Grid
The National Post ^ | 01/21/2021 | Natalie Winters

President Biden has revoked a Trump-era executive order that sought to keep foreign countries and companies out of America’s bulk power systems – principally entities associated with the Chinese Communist Party – as part of his “Executive Order on Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science to Tackle the Climate Crisis.”

The executive order, which executes key tenets of President Biden’s climate change agenda, was released on the former Veep’s first day in office.

Section 7 of the massive order, which includes the revocation of the permit for the Keystone XL Pipeline, also revokes several climate and energy-focused executive orders penned by the Trump administration.

Subpoint C notes that “Executive Order 13920 of May 1, 2020 (Securing the United States Bulk-Power System), is hereby suspended for 90 days.”

The Trump-era order sought to ban, replace, and set new criteria on bulk-power system (BPS) electric equipment coming from a foreign country or national that poses a national security threat.

“Foreign adversaries are increasingly creating and exploiting vulnerabilities in the United States bulk-power system, which provides the electricity that supports our national defense, vital emergency services, critical infrastructure, economy, and way of life. The bulk-power system is a target of those seeking to commit malicious acts against the United States and its people, including malicious cyber activities, because a successful attack on our bulk-power system would present significant risks to our economy, human health and safety, and would render the United States less capable of acting in defense of itself and its allies,” the introduction to the executive order read.

I prefer Joe Xiden. It’s a lot closer to the real name, so it’s easier for others to know exactly who you’re talking about. YMMV.

If you think about it, in order for the communist democrats to rid the country of American patriots, they will need to do something that will literally subdue the US population. On top of Covid, what other way would be better and more efficient than to kill the power grid of the country. Imagine the result; no water, no food, no fuel, no money, no anything unless you have it stored up for such an event. The Chinese released a deadly virus that has so far killed 2+ million people world wide, just think what they can do when they control the American electrical power grid. With the CCP now in our WH and saturating DC, this scenario could likely become a very serious reality.

Not many US engineering students coming out of school anymore with in -depth knowledge of how transformers and switch gear work.

They're all getting CS degrees so they can start the next social network or entertainment app.

The reason that President Trump instituted the ban was because a number of large Chinese made utility grade power transformers were found to have hidden cyber warfare activated sabotage features built into their systems

Let’s be like the Philippines. With a flick of a switch, the Philippines power grid can be turned off by China, due to these investments

It took me a few minutes to create...working Photoshop in a VM on my Linux box...but it works. I thought of this old RCA logo and added some appropriate labels.

Average American: But they told me it wouldn’t be like this. It was going to be utopia. If I could turn myself into Dominion software I would vote my way back to freedom. But I can’t.

Biden’s net worth increases again.

Interesting how this kind of action is not impeachable, but defending the people and their tax dollars is impeachable. America is a decrepit, corrupt thing, ruled by tyrants and devils.
