“Chinese or Russian saboteurs” or sympathizers.

I am beginning to believe this is so.

The conspiracy theorists are more like prophets these days.

"After the Crimean bridge attack, periodical arsons on the Russian infrastructure, the tacit approval by the US of the assassination of Dugin’s girl in Moscow, and pipeline bombing on top of that, do you really believe that the mainland US is off-limit?"

Four Tacoma Power substations were sabotaged by two criminals who manipulated the high side breakers at the substations. The outage affected 15,000 customers in the area. They wanted the outage to enable them to rob the cash register at a store.

It could also be from radical leftist groups too. It doesn't help that Mr Potato-Head leaves our borders wide open for our enemies to infiltrate us. They are asking our enemies to come attack us. It is treason.

There are so many entities, from foreign enemies to our own Antifa eco freaks, and just plain nuts, etc., who would want to do this, the line is very long.

If you start from the premise that there is no such thing as coincidence this becomes almost uncomtemplating. The news media, lap dog of the Left isn't reporting this.

The “Biden’’ Administration(let's face it , Biden is no more in charge than Donald Duck is) knew the Chinese balloon took off from China weeks before it got here. Power grid ''attacks'', egg and poultry farm fires. Right now it's winter and the West Coast is finally getting rain. When summer arrives things will get worse. There are almost sure to be more wildfires.

Telephone company equipment switches over to battery backup when the electricity goes off. They have a very extensive battery system that keeps the landlines working when the power goes out.
Cell phones and other equipment that runs on fiber is SOL if the power goes out and the generator doesn’t kick in. And not sure but I would imagine each cell tower in a system would need it’s own dedicated generator.
Cell phones are great but make communications iffy in tumultuous times.

Radical leftist groups in America, like the Weathermen, the SDS(remember them?) the Red Brigade in Italy, were in the Kremlins pay. This was to undermine the war in Vietnam.
China was not yet the world player then that it is now.

Every Chinese ‘’student’’ in America is in the service of the CCP.

So when do we take up arms or is it too late for even that?

We're losing our nation and our heritage as free people.
