FTFA:
In January, a bulletin from the Department of Homeland Security, obtained by CBS News, warned that domestic violent extremists "have developed credible, specific plans to attack electricity infrastructure since at least 2020, identifying the electric grid as a particularly attractive target." The department has not issued any guidance connecting this week's incidents to extremism.

Somehow this is the fault of the drag queens. Those sexy, sexy drag queens, keeping my up at night thinking about them....

I had the great misfortune to grow up in NC and I remember having a letter to the editor I had cut from a newspaper and posted on my fridge in undergrad. It was titled "Satan's grip tightening on Moore County." Can't remember what the specific signs of Satanic influence were, but it's pretty clear what Moore County wants to grip. Just blow some dudes and get over yourselves. Stop shooting power stations!

If the DHS has had information of plots to attack electric substations from domestic terrorists and they refuse to label them as such.

The only other two explanations are hunting accident, which directly contradicts eye witness reports of the second attack by a lone individual in a truck.

Or unintentional vandalism from drunk teenagers.

So why are they protecting domestic terrorists from being labeled domestic terrorists?

If nobody is caught soon, it will embolden others. There are probably some fairly clever ones out there now, targeting other infrastructure. The rubber will hit the road where the police are eventually faced with confronting and arresting these terrorists, turning a blind eye or joining in. When they start going with options two and three, that's how we get White Christian death squads in big trucks. It's happening.

Which doesn't exclude domestic terrorism as the root. And further leads credence to a lone attacker.

But let's assume disgruntled employee:

* Approximately 1,900 employees were affected companywide (we have 30,000 employees companywide).
* A majority of the reductions were achieved through the voluntary severance program.
* Some groups did need to pursue involuntary severances as well (this is part of the 1,900 number). We're not providing a breakdown of voluntary vs. involuntary severances.

https://www.wsoctv.com/news/local/duke-energys-latest-wave-of-job-cuts-its-largest-ever-/926485473/?outputType=amp

Which of the 2000 people fired in 2019 with a severance package are the ones that you suggest attacked in retaliation?

In the last couple of weeks, we had SWAT and 911 calls and bomb threats in coastal Maine and coastal California. They specifically targeted schools, and it was the kind of thing that looked to me like a probe or test to see how local law enforcement, and even fed LEOs would respond.

This was reported on Fark, but I don't think many comments showed that people picked up on the implications. Here again, people just called it vandalism, and everyone forgot about it.

So anyone looking for patterns or a strategy building against the US in general, or against libs or whatever, you can just weave those events into your tapestry.

Is someone poking and testing to see where and how US law enforcement responds?

Because it's likely part of a broader plan. Doing this gives them an idea of how law enforcement responds and gives society at large a healthy dose of fear.
