So who is attacking all of these electrical substations?
Hotair ^ | December 12, 2022 | JAZZ SHAW

Last week, we looked at the story of an actual domestic terror attack on a pair of electric substations in North Carolina. We still have no idea who the person (or people) who carried out that attack were, but law enforcement is continuing to investigate. As it turns out, however, North Carolina was far from the only state to witness attacks in this fashion. Between January and August of this year, there were 106 reported attacks on power stations, substations, and other elements of the power grid. And they’re happening all over the country. Fortunately, few have been as effective as the North Carolina attack, which knocked out the power in most of two counties. So is this all just random or are we seeing a coordinated, national assault unfolding? (End of the American Dream)

Someone has been attacking power plants all over the country, and federal authorities are trying to determine who it is. In recent days, we have seen significant sabotage on both the east and west coasts, so it can’t just be one individual that is responsible. During the first eight months of this year, there were a total of 106 attacks on the electrical grid in the United States, and that represents the highest number ever recorded in a single year.

Hopefully, authorities will be able to get to the bottom of this mystery, because winter will soon officially begin. If the power goes out in your neck of the woods for an extended period of time during the months ahead, what will you do?

Nobody is trying to claim that the string of attacks that we have been witnessing is “accidental”, and ABC News is reporting that “federal authorities are investigating” this very disturbing trend.

As noted above, the timing of the two attacks in North Carolina makes it almost impossible for one person to have been responsible for both. It’s also highly unlikely that the two shooting incidents were mere coincidence, so we’re probably looking at at least two terrorists working in unison. But are they part of a larger network that’s operating all over the country or are these just examples of copycat attacks?

If there really is such a network, they must be coordinating in some fashion. Perhaps federal authorities will be able to track them down on the dark web or social media or however else they might be plotting. Winter is almost here, and this could turn into a potentially lethal situation.

Even though officials in North Carolina aren’t speculating about suspects at this point, that’s not stopping others from raising their own suspicions. As the linked report informs us, when you can’t find any other suspects, the easiest thing to do is blame the right-wing mega MAGA people. There was apparently a drag show taking place at the time of the North Carolina attacks, so it’s being suggested that it may have been an attack on the LGBTQ community.

An LGBTQ nonprofit in North Carolina had set up a drag show at the Sunrise Theater in Southern Pines on Saturday night around the same time when the electric facilities were targeted with gunfire around 7 pm…

Investigators are now determining if the backlash the 18 or older show received leading up to the performance led to the targeted attack.

Since we don’t have any suspects identified yet, I suppose it’s impossible to rule anyone out entirely. But with that said… give me a break. If a couple of guys who were opposed to the drag show (which didn’t involve children) were responsible, why would they coordinate separate attacks to knock out all of the power in two counties? Why not just knock out the power in the town where the drag show was taking place?

I’m fully ready to admit that I was wrong if that turns out to be the answer to this mystery, but it just sounds unlikely in the extreme. Whoever did this knocked out the power to tens of thousands of people for the better part of a week. That number would almost certainly have included many people of the same ideological persuasion as the attackers. Since everyone is apparently being invited to offer their own guesses, I’ll make one of my own. That attack affected everyone in the entire area. To me, that sounds like the work of anarchists. And that brings Antifa to mind. Perhaps that won’t be the answer, but it’s certainly at least as good as writing off yet again to the mega-MAGA people.

These morons who think these are the work of MAGA people remind me of the nut Brian Ross. He was the ABC reporter who blamed the CO theater shooting on a Tea Party member. I would be willing to give 10-1 odds if someone wanted to bet me that these attacks are from MAGA people.

Media is gaslighting everything to be MAGA fault. Only smooth brains believe it.

This certainly appears to be escalation of false flag actions. This is bad news as these attacks are not sparking in anti-MAGA outrage. The next events will be bigger and eventually really big mass casualty events will be executed.

“the story of an actual domestic terror attack”

The author is already repeating the official Big Government-Big Media narrative.

I call this an attack on electrical substations when I write it as a news story on my blog.

That’s a fair unbiased presentation of the facts.

My suspicions, in order of possibility:

1. Greenies, aka environmental terrorists
2. The Deep State, doing a bit of false-flag work
3. Various good ol’ boys, just funnin’ around
4. Chinese agents probing our infrastructure for weakness

This one from 2020 appeared to be an Earth First attack but not sure if that was confirmed.
Whoever is caught attacking these facilities needs to be executed, I don’t care if they are classified as left or right on the political spectrum.

.............I would be surprised if the feds did not know exactly who’s doing this and, seeing it’s all lefties, and being lefties themselves, and like Hunter’s laptop, they are busy now days figuring out how to cover it up.

“To me, that sounds like the work of anarchists.”

Anarchists working to a plan. There’s a Far Side cartoon in there somewhere.

Lesson to tell here. I used to do some work for a very large meat products producer. I was asked to assist on a project to resolve problems with metal showing up in their deli meats slicing production lines. When the metal hits the blade it frequently shatters the blade. The whole room and line shuts down and must be cleaned, sanitized, and inspected by USDA inspectors before resuming production (12 hours).

We installed multi-point metal detection and separation in points of production. It turned out to be beef and pork with large birdshot which was inside the muscle but healed over with an abscess formed around the metal shot. When it occurred it was constant.

It turns out animal rights activists shoot the steers when they are in feed lots or on pasture. The wounds go mostly unnoticed and heal over. They do this to sabotage the meat processing facilities in lost production, waste, and product liability. It was costing the company millions a month.

I suspect the same approach here. The groups sabotaging sub stations, switch yards, and transmission lines are the climate justice groups. Replacing sub station transformers meant to last 75 years in any number will create expensive chaos for utility companies.

I wonder what other things are connected to those three substations?

Businesses, events, churches, something totally different from what I am thinking of?

    I agree that #1 is the most likely. Some of these people protesting global warming have been committing vandalism and assaulting people.
