Substation terrorism blackout — news blackout
Talk about being behind the curve…Â and NSA’s going to push my stats up!
Very strange timing here — an incident where “multiple transformers,” 17 transformers, or 5 transformers, 5 out of 7 transformer banks, depending what you read/hear, were taken out occurred on April 16, 2013, and it’s just now being reported.  Try googling “news blackout California substation electrical terrorism” and see what comes up. Maybe it’s that former FERC chair Wellinghoff is out there talking about it? There was also a congressional hearing in December that got some coverage…
Wellinghoff started talking about it publicly in November, 2013 it seems.
Do some googling and see for yourself the news blackout. Also,several articles are noting it occurred a day after the Boston Marathon bombing, but not one yet is noting that it occurred the day after taxes are due. How many anti-tax wing-nuts are out there?
They publicized similar sabotage in Arkansas and arrested the perp (interesting, he unbolted a tower, connected a cable, and used a moving train to tip over the pole!):
Back to California — here’s what the substation and surrounding area looks like, and the actions taken, from the Wall Street Journal article:

From PG&E at the time:

Now going back to April, 2013:

Here’s one from December, 2013, that is the most detailed and credible I’ve found:
‘Military-Style’ raid on California Power Station Spooks U.S.
In this one there’s a statement that’s a recurring theme that I think is off base, the theme being that it’s a rehearsal for a “real” attack, and in other articles calling it a “dry run,” when I’d call taking out 17 transformers a “real” attack:
Another good detailed article in the NY Times:
And a video:

On NPR:
Sniper Attack on Calif. Power Station Raises Terrorism Fears
In Bloomberg:
Now let’s see some other coverage that I’ll nominate for “wing-nut” status:

Latest ‘Domestic Terror’ Sniper Attack is Likely a Government False Flag
In which they say:
‘Just like they would put together for a real attack’, he says?
Exactly, because this wasn’t a real terror attack. ??? Again the mantra of a “dress rehearsal” or a “dry run.” Isn’t taking out the fiber-optic and 911 service and then multiple substation transformers “real” enough?

The shooters vanished before the first police arrived.
What they do not have is a motive, fingerprints or suspects. Theories are piling up.
