truthwins | When a real terrorist attack happens, sometimes we don’t hear about
it until months afterward (if we ever hear about it at all). For
example, did you know that a team of snipers shot up a power station in
California? The terrorists destroyed 17 transformers and did so much
damage that the power station was shut down for a month. And it only
took them 19 minutes of shooting to do it. Of course most Americans
have absolutely no idea that this ever happened, because they get their
news from the mainstream media. The chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission at that time says that this was “the
most significant incident of domestic terrorism involving the grid that
has ever occurred”, and yet you won’t hear about it on the big news
networks. They are too busy covering the latest breaking news on the Justin Bieber scandal.
And maybe it is good thing that most people don’t know about this.
The truth is that we are a nation that is absolutely teeming with “soft
targets”, and if people realized how vulnerable we truly are they might
start freaking out.
If you have not heard about the attack on the Silicon Valley
substation yet, you should look into it. The following is an excerpt
from a Business Insider article about the sniper assault…
The Wall Street Journal’s Rebecca Smith reports that a former Federal Energy Regulatory Commission chairman is acknowledging for the first time that a group of snipers shot up a Silicon Valley substation for 19 minutes last year, knocking out 17 transformers before slipping away into the night.
The attack was “the most significant incident of domestic terrorism involving the grid that has ever occurred” in the U.S., Jon Wellinghoff, who was chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission at the time, told Smith.
Evidence found at the scene included “more than 100 fingerprint-free shell casings“, and little piles of rocks “that appeared to have been left by an advance scout to tell the attackers where to get the best shots.”
So much damage was done to the substation that it was closed down for a month.
And what happens if they decide to attack a nuclear power facility next time and use even bigger weapons?
Could we have another Fukushima on our hands?
