On a side note regarding attacks on substations and any connections to anything LGBTQ I have seen nothing beyond speculation? Is there anything at all credible to support this theory?

Nothing "credible" in terms of a suspect tied to a location near the shot-up transformers and his/her posts on the internet.

Apparently, there were many "credible" bits if one looks at the volume of content on right wingnut forums where they are collecting ideas to disrupt the various Transgender Rememberance Day parades and other gatherings across the country. Many, supposedly, included detailed plans to shoot up or blow up substations near the events to cause blackouts.

The crazies have been threating to shoot up or blow up substations forever. IMO undercover FBI agents are, as usual, half of current set of crazies' membership roster. Modern digital media has only made it easier to track those that are serious.

No kidding but not commonly associated with scheduled event dates and locations of celebrations for a particular protected class across the country.

That shows a hole in your US history. Blacks (as only one of many targets) in this country have been under threat forever at scheduled event dates and locations of celebrations by X type of crazy. It's very common.

The only thing can pass through the mentioned power grids is electricity,
But what for that world wide internet and data grids,as far as they want to screw any of economy,science,relationships,cold wars,religious belief,cultures and blah blah matters at the same time?!
yellow medias each day dare to publish every crimes,injustice,political and religious biases for more click and viewer rate,and sometimes by support of govts no one dares to stop them when they ruin both mentality and security within an inf loop as well.
and who knows what kind of security could it be for such screwed up thing... a Vietnam war security method for the hell?! :-/

I hardly consider anything on a right wingnut forum credible. That said anything on a forum, any forum should be easy enough to the NSA,, Homeland Security, or the FBI to follow up on. Possibly a link to such a forum because anything less I see as hearsay. We called it rumor control at the drinking fountain (scuttlebutt). I would think if any of this had fact somebody would be in custody. I really have little interest in why people do things as much as I have interest in those breaking the law brought to swift justice. Pretty simple.

The FBI in a statement on Monday did not release any further details — only that the individual is under 18 — but said the agency is working with state prosecutors to “hold the minor accountable.”

“Given the federal limitations for charging under-age perpetrators with federal crimes, the Department of Justice worked with state prosecutors to hold them accountable on charges unrelated to the specific threats to the HBCUs,” according to the FBI. “This individual is under restrictions and monitoring of his online activities.”

That's something else which needs fixed. Here in Cleveland, Ohio we have 13 year old kids carjacking at gunpoint and doing armed robberies. Juveniles normally slide. Talking to a police officer friend. They just took a gun from a 13 year old. So they called county juvenile hall. They were told all they could do was release the kid to his parents or as often the case legal guardian. So let's say a juvenile opens fire on a substation and actually gets caught. Then what?

Yes they did, every bit as well as the riots across the country when Trump was elected. Social media travels fast. Point being it does not take much to organize an attack against anything. I have seen as many lunatics on the left as the right. There will always be extremist. Spare me the nonsense. Now did you have something to contribute? Guessing no and I won't get sucked down to one of your disruptive piles of nonsense.

There will always be extremist. Spare me the nonsense.

But there certainly seem to be more extremists with neo-fascist, conspiracy theory, white-supremacy, anti-democracy, anti-LGBTQ views now trying to actively nullify elections, disrupt our government, and reduce constitutional rights we have been accustomed to (such as separation of church and state -- Roe-Wade is gone, a conservative Christian church target for years, is contraception next?).
The people of such ilk, such as many attending the recent NY City Young Republican's Gala scare the hell out of me.

I don't view that as nonsense.

 

You are really bad at arguing..

you said,

I hardly consider anything on a right wingnut forum credible.

So I reminded you that...

Then you admit I was right...

Then you go on to express just how easily the dangerous right wing extremists with guns can be lead by their noses into doing anyone on social media suggests they should be.

Point being it does not take much to organize an attack against anything.

Do you still believe..."I hardly consider anything on a right wingnut forum credible."
It was really nice debating with you.

 

As an Aussie, I have to tell you Americans that the rest of the world considers the US to be full of RWNJs. They may not be the majority, but there sure seems to be a disproportionate number of them compared to the populations in most developed countries. After all, almost half the voting population voted Trump, and he's as crazy and ignorant as it gets.

Actually, the majority of them voted against Hillary Clinton...

Ever heard of Guy Fawkes?

 

Actually, the majority of them voted against Hillary Clinton...

Actually, Hillary wasn't on the ballot in 2020 and, 46.8% (about half) voted for him.

And that is after they could see what he was. Fool me once…

Actually that is wrong. Clinton and Biden both won the popular votes in the elections they were in. 2016 was a ringer because the GOP finally decide that the Electoral College, not the popular vote, was their only chance. And when the DEMs copied the GOP play book in 2020, they decided to make it even harder to vote. Maybe even cutting off their GOP noses to spite their faces, look at 2022 for proof.

The people of Germany would agree with you, as do I. Even though I have 3 grown sons that go allong with that crap. Look how fast the Germans stopped their attemt at a coup, one that the ploters actually claim to have based it on the 1/6 debacle.

 

Can we get back to the grid? Remember the grid? What the thread topic actually is.

Just wondering if anyone else has a view on this?

ibed coordinated attack but now any idiot who can read a newspaper knows how fragile the US power grid actually is and how simple it is to take down a substation. Views?

Here in Cleveland, Ohio we have 13 year old kids carjacking at gunpoint and doing armed robberies.

Yes they did, every bit as well as the riots across the country when Trump was elected.

You start a tread and ask for views, participate in the discussion and then try to cut off the discussion because most everyone quotes media reports that point the finger at a group you seem to sympathize with. Did I get that right?
