Snipers’ attack on Silicon Valley power stations a ‘preparation for an act of war’

Re: Snipers’ attack on Silicon Valley power stations a ‘preparation for an act of war

When I first heard of this I thought it was probably kids doing what kids sometimes do but when I read that the casings were wiped free of prints I changed my mind. Sounds like terrorist to me.

where did you read the casings were wiped free of prints, and just how does one determine that vs say using gloves to not leave prints?

I just ran through the reports of the vandalism on april 16th and after- no mention of recovered casings, caliber, and only 5 transformers damaged.

But please tell us where you read the casing bit?

Seems there were 17 transformers broken, phone lines cut in 19 minutes of shooting and it took 27 days to repair. The energy bosses think it's terrorism.

It was in The Wall street journal but I can link to it hear easier.

"Nearly a year later and FBI officials in San Francisco tell the WSJ, the Bureau doesn’t think a terrorist organization was behind the attack, but they are “continuing to sift through the evidence.” PG&E’s official statement claimed it was the work of vandals, but made no mention of the nearly 100 fingerprint-free shell casings that were found at the scene. Former FERC chairmain Jon Wellinghoff, meanwhile, saw fit to go public with the details after military experts confirmed the scene looks like a professional job.

Wasn't Enron responsible for more people being without power ?

Tapes: Enron plotted to shut down power plant
Move came day that rolling blackouts hit California, utility says

Thursday, February 3, 2005 Posted: 11:28 PM EST (0428 GMT)

(CNN) -- A Washington state utility released audiotapes Thursday that it said revealed bankrupt energy trader Enron Corp. plotted to take a power plant off-line in 2001 to jack up electric prices in Western states.

That same day, shortages of power forced rolling blackouts in northern California that affected about 2 million customers....

If this is indeed an act of 'domestic terror' then I think it's pretty clear who....Extreme enviro-terrorist. These people are dangerous while trying to force their agenda down everyone else's throat.

The FBI has credited to eco-terrorism 300 million dollars in property damage from 2003 and 2008

Eco-terrorism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This was a 5 year span, 6 years ago....Given the cost these nuts do, it may be necessary to consider us 'at war' with them....They obviously think they are 'at war' with us.

But are they that smart and do they own firearms? ;)

How can we expect that the world would outlaw "terrorism" when we allow it to fester right here.

Same could be said about some of the other things that fester here.
Don't doubt this current administration favors eco-terrorism
