Multiple Electrical Substations Attacked in NC

[paknheat]

Too bad the candle light didn't catch some of the hairspray and polyester on fire.


Shit! Did I say that out loud? Sorry.

Dang, beat me to it.

For any of you that are better at deep research that I am, I have a mission should you choose to accept it.

Back in the mid 70's there was a short lived magazine called Omni. I read a piece that was written as a memo to the president on strange, seemingly unrelated events that turned out to be terroristic attacks. Substations were one of the targets.

I do not recall the nom de plume he used, but it was written by G. Gordon Liddy.

Omni lasted until about 1989, if I recall.

These aren't things I wish for the general public to know.

I have heavily edited some posts in this thread.
I ask, if you know how to disable essential infrastructure, don't post it on TGT.
It's not the kind of information sharing I want to be associated with.

Thanks.

100% agree!

The G. Gordon Liddy article appeared in the January, 1989 issue.

Press conference yesterday said Thursday before power was restored but I know some folks had power again last night. Not sure how many people are still affected.

I think I may have had a subscription for a while? Kinda science-y?

Sciency and science-fictiony, in equal measures. I had a subscription all through high school. My mother just about fainted when she opened one issue and saw that Bob Guccione was the publisher. Most if not all issues are online now: https://archive.org/details/omni-archive/Best_of_OMNI_1_1980/

Oddly, the archive shows it lasting till 1995, but I swear I remember it folding in 1989 and the remainder of my subscription being replaced by another magazine I had little to no interest in.

I didn't know it lasted that long. I only got a free one year subscription at the Consumer Electronics Show somewhere between 75 and 80.

I enjoyed it. The short fiction was generally high quality, and it had a nice balance of actual articles about science and technology to go with them.

We've taken it for granted. I think people just need to realize that having grid power is a luxury. If you truly need electricity for something, then relying on the power company is assuming large third party risk. Get some backup power generation on site.

...and how did she know who that was?

It was the mid 80s. Dude's name was all over the news. Along with Hefner and Larry Flynt.

Probably not the same people who use power line insulators and stop signs for target practice.

Agree.

Started to share some thoughts based on industry knowledge, but then thought better of it.

Had a recent similar incident in Texas.

Really? Don’t recall that one.

 

[wakosama]

not the first time. not the first place. I've even seen it written about in doomer fiction. maybe some old folks remember. won't mention the sources, but reminds me of the 'wonderful' novel by the renown author about terrorists using planes to take down buildings... definitely agree it doesn't sound like some local retard, but these days...? wonder what caliber?

Pathetic that we still face the same threats as 30 years ago...

More pathetic that we still don't have any way to counter or negate the effectiveness of the threat.
