[Domestic Terrorism] 3 Washington state electric substations vandalized on Christmas

By artappraiser on Mon, 12/26/2022 - 12:43pm |

The attacks come as federal officials are warning that the U.S. power grid needs better security to prevent domestic terrorism and after a large outage in North Carolina earlier this month that took days to repair.https://t.co/G5Pvw5P2rI

3 substations in Washington state were sabotaged on Christmas morning knocking out power to 14,000 customers.

The media is referring to this as vandalism.

Spray painting graffiti on a sidewalk is vandalism. Causing massive outages for thousands of people is domestic terrorism.

We’re still without power over 24 hours later with no estimate on a restoration time.

earlier thread, starting Dec. 5

FBI joins investigation into North Carolina power outage caused by ‘intentional’ attacks

including odd report of 'sewer rat' exploration in Minneapolis and this from Dec. 8

There have actually been SIX attacks on US substations nationwide since 11/17 -- the NC ones we've all heard about and others in the Pacific NW that weren't as damaging @C_C_Krebs tells @jaketapper pic.twitter.com/dEtvhaQewH

Planned sabotage in Russia?
The CIA is using a European NATO ally’s spy service to conduct a covert sabotage campaign inside Russia under the agency’s direction, according to former U.S. intelligence and military officials. | Jack Murphy (jackmurphywrites.com)

tweet and quote-tweet making an excellent point whether you're talking righty or lefty activists:

The easiest crimes to solve are the ones you help plan.

The FBI doesn’t serve you, it serves its budget, and the best way to get more budget? More “domestic terrorism” arrests https://t.co/zYOBlNbXn9

along those lines, look how incredibly stoopid this Jan. 6 guy was:

"Government filed a Complaint alleging that, while on release in this case, Defendant conspired with others to engage in certain acts of domestic terrorism, including the assassination of Federal Bureau of Investigation agents involved in this case..."

he probably would've had a whopping 14 day jail sentence if he just played ball, since they're going way too easy on these traitors' jail sentences to begin with

feds caught the Washington state Christmas perps, but so far terrorist motives are a big PFFFFFFFFT, reason BURGLARY (it's not always gonna be Osama bin Laden):

NEW: two men charged in Washington Christmas #substation attacks.

Jeremy Crahan & Matthew Greenwood.

Took phones along + getaway pickup caught on camera.

Why?

Greenwood says it was to create a distraction for a burglary.

even though they may not have had the intent to terrorize anyone.in the pursuit of ill gotten gains, they look like a lovely catch nonetheless - did Eliot Ness complain about bank robbers' lack of ideology?

A single man successfully completely disabled the MGM Resorts Mega Array solar power plant in North Las Vegas. The plant serves as the main source of solar power for the company's 13 Las Vegas Strip properties.https://t.co/dLFWTS9mAU

#Breaking: Another #powerplant attack.
This time a man wreaking the havoc (#terrorism?) was apprehended. Related to the numerous attacks on electrical power grids as of late or unconnected?

only using this one because it has the Daily Mail link, not because of the suppositons added by "amuse"

Media is refusing to cover Islamic terrorists targeting the U.S. energy grid. The latest is from Mohammad Mesmarian was arrested for terrorism after ramming his car into a Las Vegas solar energy generator pit and setting it on fire. https://t.co/TBwu1XD9TJ
