Multiple power outage reports from California in the month of September, all blamed on a variety of causes, another in Alabama with cause listed as “unknown,” have left tens of thousands of people without power, and in the midst of these reports, Verizon publishes their new commercial with some very strange wording. That is just the tip of the iceberg of the “coincidental” outages reported recently over a variety of platforms.
Back in December 2013 it was finally made public that the previous April there had been a terrorist attack on a California Power station. The initial report was from Foreign Policy, with later reports from the MSM in February 2014, but it left the many wondering why it took months before the public was informed.
Flashback:
When U.S. officials warn about “attacks” on electric power facilities these days, the first thing that comes to mind is probably a computer hacker trying to shut the lights off in a city with malware. But a more traditional attack on a power station in California has U.S. officials puzzled and worried about the physical security of the the electrical grid–from attackers who come in with guns blazing.
Around 1:00 AM on April 16, at least one individual (possibly two) entered two different manholes at the PG&E Metcalf power substation, southeast of San Jose, and cut fiber cables in the area around the substation. That knocked out some local 911 services, landline service to the substation, and cell phone service in the area, a senior U.S. intelligence official told Foreign Policy. The intruder(s) then fired more than 100 rounds from what two officials described as a high-powered rifle at several transformers in the facility. Ten transformers were damaged in one area of the facility, and three transformer banks — or groups of transformers — were hit in another, according to a PG&E spokesman.
In July CNN reported that vandals had cut San Francisco area fiber optics lines for the 11th time in a year and last week USA Today reported that two AT&T fiber optic cables in the Livermore, Calif. were severed as well calling it “the latest in a string of attacks against the Internet’s privately run backbone.”
