Way back in May 1981, the GAO published a report entitled “Federal Electrical Emergency Preparedness Is Inadequate,” warning that the nation’s electric power systems were “very vulnerable to disruptions from acts of war, sabotage, or terrorism,” and that the “Federal Government is not now prepared to handle a long-term national or regional disruption in electric power.”
Since that time there have been hundreds of effective sabotage attacks on on non critical nodes, killing power to tens of thousands of households at a time. These terror attacks continue at approximately 1.5 per week.
Outside grid security experts and engineers have argued for years that the industry needs to improve physical security standards for critical assets in the country’s electrical grid, motivated in part by a federal study which showed that physical sabotage attacks against only a small number of critical nodes in the grid would be sufficient to cause a prolonged and devastating nationwide blackout, meaning a long-term absence of lighting, internet, functioning gas stations, trucking, refrigeration, grocery store deliveries, drinking water, or water in toilets. How long? Months to years, depending on which nodes are hit by cyber or physical attack.
Yet over the past nine years, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has declined to order a fundamental overhaul of an obviously ineffective physical security standard despite numerous formal complaints and petitions. Below: one perfectly placed bullet round killed power to 44,000 in North Carolina.
Somebody typed a prompt, and a virus came out.
Sixteen of them. Genomes written by artificial intelligence, ordered as synthetic DNA, assembled on a bench, and grown into stocks that replicated and threw off offspring. Thirteen carried mutations that match no known natural sequence. The scientific paper ran in the publication Science, and its senior author disclosed funding from the Gates Foundation.
Six years ago, on April 6, 2020, Bill Gates sat with Trevor Noah and said a vaccine was the only thing that would let us return to normal — and announced that his foundation would start building the factories before anyone had seen efficacy data. Scale during testing, he said, rather than waiting for results. A great many people heard optimism. Some of us heard a schedule.

"There are times when a people tolerate an evil for so long that they cease to recognize its enormity. The evil acquires procedures, professional language, political constituencies, legal protections and respectable explanations. Eventually bloodshed receives a clinical name, partiality becomes public policy, and injustice—once sufficiently regulated—begins to look almost ordinary."

The @EU_Commission met today with Meta & TikTok on the situation in Ceuta.
"Platforms must act decisively in keeping the integrity of the digital space, in particular during crisis situations. Monitoring must increase, cooperation with fact-checkers to be strengthened."
What has social media been commanded to do? Cover up the fact that 72,000 military aged males invaded Spain over a two day period? Spin the story? Hire fact checkers who say, "Don't believe the misinformation. It was only 72 migrants." What were the orders given to social media regarding the Hungarian election of 2026? What orders are being given to the new puppet government of Hungary by the EU?
