Talk about vulnerable, wow! Spooky reality. I donât understand why that Homeland Lady would rationalize that the govt should not Impose on the grid companies? I would think the Grid would be super high priority. I speculate that the Grid companies must donate big bucks to campaigns and do a lot of Lobbying to avoid strict oversight.
I am not sure about the wake-up call? i think that a lot of people have decided that.."NAH! Can't happen here. Go back to sleep!
What a rag.
My guess is this was done by US special forces or we asked Israeli special forces to do this so that we could harden our grid and we would have public support and awareness that it needs to be hardened. Iâm guessing Congress didnât approve funds for it before.
The US can have control of an interstate system, but not a power grid. That's just plain stupid.
Nine substations, critical to the grid, would cause a nationwide blackout. Imagine a bad actor with small EMPs carried by drones over these substations. The question is, how easy would it be for a bad actor to figure out which nine substations to hit?
Put everybody in a room at the white house? PedoJoe doesn't even know what day it is. I won't hold my breath.
If Zelinsky would grow a pair n sign the negotiated peace teaty there wouldnt have been a war as for now the war would b over.
Interesting Texas has its own grid
Itâs comming itâs not if but when
The homeless do without the basic needs that everyone has they wil servive and live of the scraps you panicking people leve behind
Thank you by starting with a secure border and keeping peace with the worlds nations…we anericans know we are safe
Being de-centralized is one way to prevent a complete US grid down. Areas can be isolated and brought back up.
Why would anyone sabotage their own country. đ˘
>>——————-> …and yet our own intelligence services spend their time and resources monitoring Americans, instead of sealing our borders to prevent hostile actors from entering our country.
LMAO!! The left's obsession with Ukraine. The largest money laundering operation in USA history. Blackrock thanks all you stupid Marxist lefties.
This whole idea that the government is supposed to prevent your power from being interrupted is a fairytale. If you want, uninterrupted power, invest in a generator and or battery back up.
WHENEVER you hear that the FBI is involved, you can be ALMOST SURE that they first fed the idea to said group… and then they provide the funds and plans! So, who is the real threat (with everything else we see in the corrupt three letter agencies)
For a great analysis of the issue of the vulnerability of our power grid I highly recommend Ted Koppelâs excellent book âLights Outâ
Will the texas power grid go out this winter 2023/ 2024?????
I am grateful to say that I am a born again Christian and have been since I was 19…….folks just like in this video about this mysterious blackout and power outage well I just gotta tell you that these days are getting darker and thereâs an even far worse blackout on the way!!!!! Godâs judgement is coming and Christ is coming soon and if you donât know Christ as your savior then it burdens my soul to think that you are headed for a terrible place called Hell where the Bible says the fire is never quenched and the worm dies not! Folks you are not promised tomorrow! If you want to know how to be saved from this horrible reality then please by all means donât hesitate to comment right back so I can lead you to the savior! 2 Corinthians 6:2 clearly states ânow is the time of Godâs favor, now is the day of salvation!â And Hebrews 3:15 clearly states, âToday if you hear his voice donât harden your hearts! it is not me but the Holy Spirit that I pray reveals to you the truth of his precious gospel……John 3:16 says for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes on him will not perish but have everlasting life! V 17 says then V 18 says whoever believes on the son is not condemned but whoever does not believe on the son is condemned already because he has not believed on the son whom God has sent! Also Acts 16:30-31 what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house I am not threatening anyone but just warning them what will happen if they reject this precious gift of eternal life! Christ died a horrible criminals death! He was beaten brutally mocked spit upon and endured countless hours of torture pain for all of our sins! Ppl go to hell because they reject that pardon for their sins! And Jesus is saying to them in Matthew 25:41 depart from me you cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels! Hell was only prepared for Satan and his angels! It is not God who threatens anyone it is the craziness of rejecting the free pardon of salvation! Itâs like if youâre in court youâve committed a crime say you murdered someone! Now if you say to that Judge hey I know Iâve done a terrible thing of murdering that person but I hear youâre a good judge and so I know youâll be fair to me…… the judge is going to reply well yes youâre right about one thing I am a good judge and because Iâm a good judge Iâm going to see to it that youâre punished and that justice is served! Well then all of a sudden someone you donât even know comes forward and says you know what I know heâs committed the crime heâs committed and he deserves to go to jail but I really donât want to see him go to prison so Iâll just go to prison for him so he can go free! So if you accepted that offer youâd be free to leave the courtroom but if you didnât well youâd be crazy and go to prison yourself! Well thatâs exactly how it was 2,000 years ago! He is God in human flesh and he came to this earth lived a perfect sinless life and even though he knew that we had sinned and because of our sins deserved to die miserably but he said no I donât want to see them suffer so I will go and take their punishment for them! Even though he did absolutely nothing wrong still he chose to take the punishment for our sins so we can be set free from the power bondages and consequences of our disobedience to God! Romans 5:8 says For God commends his love toward us that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us! 1 John 2:2 says he was made to be the propitiation for our sins! And not just for our sins but the sins of the whole world! 2 Corinthians 5:21 He who knew no sin became Sin for us that we would be made his righteousness! The truth is if you had to get to Heaven by your own effort then you cannot do it! Because Romans 3:10 says there is not one that does good! No Not One! Romans 3:23 says For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God! Romans 6:23 says For the wages of sin is death! But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our lord! But the good news is Romans 10:9 If we confess with our mouth and believes in our hearts that Christ died for our sins then was raised from the dead we will be saved! V 10 For itâs with the heart we believe and itâs with the mouth confession is made unto salvation! God gave us 10 commandments to follow and weâve broken every one of them! And because God is a good God he cannot allow our disobedience to him to go unpunished! Well then like I just mentioned above his son Jesus stepped forward and said no I donât want to see them punished so I will take their punishment for them! And also like I said he died a terrible substitute criminalâs death for us on a cross so now all we have to do is accept that payment for our sins and we can escape the terrible wrath of God that is to fall on them who do not accept this atonement that was sacrificed for our sins! Praise the lord Romans 10:13 says Whoever calls on the name of the lord shall be saved! And 1 Peter 1:4 youâre an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you! Christ clearly said in John 14:6 I am the way the truth and the life and no one comes to the father but through me! Acts 4:12 clearly states that there is no other name given unto Heaven or earth by which we must be saved as there is salvation in no other! Jesus clearly states that there is clearly only one way to Salvation and itâs him thatâs it! There is no other way! God Bless everyone who reads!
I'm all for people being moire self sufficient, I certainly am. But "hardening" the grid is a fool's errand. Any soldier will tell you defense is folly, it never survives an opponents resources and will.
I think even Chinađľď¸ââď¸đľď¸ââď¸đľď¸ââď¸đ¤đ¤đ¤
White supremacists… ok sure
Oil and power companies have set us up for a big fall.
we have bigger issues just relax we need to divert focus away from grid attacks
Judging by the numerous times the grid has been easily attacked over the last twenty years, sometimes without finding the attackers like in the case of the Metcalf Sub-Station attack back in 2013, I'd say it's not very secure. We could very easily be destroyed by our enemies with just a few coordinated attacks followed by a full scale invasion. After six months without power there would be very few people capable of resisting. This is very likely to happen in the near future with the current administration selling us out to our debt holders.
You know, there are always signs that lead up to a major attack. The months prior to 9/11 was rife with signs, covid 19 ditto… i say signs but today i should say softening up the public for what's to come.
China owns our power grid.
Its not important ..wat important is democracy ! Solve first problem of other nation….super power nation doest not worry at all…wat important is democarcy đ đ đ đ
How do we know that Russian agents aren't doing this
Only it's not going to be Russia; it's going to be done by our own government.
China and Russia probably want to take us over.
