"This nation is under attack by either Chinese or Russian saboteurs."

After what has been happening in our nation of late, how do we know it wasn't a Soros, Gates or maybe even a Zuckerberg operative.?

The "one worlders" are getting bolder by the day..

Some one with time should make a database listing all the infrastructure attacks on our country in the last 5 years, not just electric.

Someone has one started a "catastrophe" list....not 5 years back, but ... about 2 years back....through June 2022....

Any actuaries here to lend an opinion?

I - and others - already know the answer, but it would be interesting, nonetheless.

I worked off Marina and 880 til last year

Oh yeah, that was very close to where I was.

I lived in Hayward, so my commute on 880 was only between Hesperian and West Winton which wasn’t bad. And when the purple-haired, pierced people had their three day temper tantrum after Trump won that November, I was south of all of that nonsense and unaffected.

All major airports have backup generators, and they are routinely tested. Of course, they may fail or heavily loaded circuits can bring a system back down during an automated change over. ATC and runway lighting usually have their own backup systems.

Amein! Now we need the who done it list... That will never come out though. It’s most likely a inside job.

Yup, we’re sitting here without power, again. No worries, just another rolling blackout (the second in 24 hours). Nothing to see here.

Given my residence out in the country, about the only destination that’s reasonable from that diagram is “Enjoy the Outdoors.” Open my front door and I’m there.

Turns out the idiots who took out the substations here in Graham, WA on Christmas morning did it to facilitate a robbery elsewhere. Couple of tweakers. Ones already been released into rehab. Not saying it’s the same thing here but it’s not always foreign sabotage.

My gut tells me it is part of the WEF plan to ruin everything so we peasants will be grateful for the crumbs they throw us. We will own nothing, and be happy, or else…

When a Moore county NC substation was take out by rifle fire a few weeks back, it took nearly a week to get it repaired.

People in the know here were saying that inventories of substation equipment are at dangerously low levels because we are sending transformers and substation infrastructure to Ukraine.

Have know way of knowing for sure, but would not be surprised if were true.

I think you’re right, and I expect them to get more open about destroying things “for the good of the 🌎” or some other means of enslaving the world. Sounds ridiculous when I read what I just wrote… but here we are.

Well that explains that one. Still there have all of the fires to poultry and egg farms and the wildfires, some as I understand have been deliberately set.

No such thing as coincidence. Not in my book.
