The U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs said it again in a report it published in November, “The Rising Threat of Domestic Terrorism”: “National security agencies now identify domestic terrorism as the most persistent and lethal terrorist threat to the homeland. This increase in domestic terror attacks has been predominantly perpetrated by white supremacist and anti-government extremist individuals and groups.” Conspicuously lacking from this oft-repeated claim are actual white supremacist terrorists…
Terrorism – Domestic
Attacks on Pacific north-west power stations raise fears for US electric grid
A string of attacks on power facilities in Oregon and Washington has caused alarm and highlighted the vulnerabilities of the US electric grid.
The attacks in the Pacific north-west come just days after a similar assault on North Carolina power stations that cut electricity to 40,000 people.
As first reported by Oregon Public Broadcasting and KUOW Public Radio, there have been at least six attacks, some of which involved firearms and caused residents to lose power. Two of the attacks shared similarities with the incident in Moore county, North Carolina, where two stations were hit by gunfire. Authorities have not yet revealed a motive for the North Carolina attack.
Federal law enforcement warned of attacks on power plants
Days after what officials called a targeted attack on power substations in North Carolina, NewsNation has exclusively obtained a recent federal law enforcement memo that warned of something strikingly similar.
So now people are shooting up power stations?
Lots of people talk about domestic terrorism (frequently in a hyperbolic fashion), but North Carolina experienced something this weekend that certainly seems like it would qualify for the label. In
Moore County, someone shot up two electrical substations on Saturday night. The attack took out the local power grid, plunging tens of thousands of homes into darkness and shutting down government services and schools.
The incident below occurred in 2014
Assault on California Power Station Raises Alarm on Potential for Terrorism
SAN JOSE, Calif.—The attack began just before 1 a.m. on April 16 last year, when someone slipped into an underground vault not far from a busy freeway and cut telephone cables.
Within half an hour, snipers opened fire on a nearby electrical substation. Shooting for 19 minutes, they surgically knocked out 17 giant transformers that funnel power to Silicon Valley. A minute before a police car arrived, the shooters disappeared into the night.
To avoid a blackout, electric-grid officials rerouted power around the site and asked power plants in Silicon Valley to produce more electricity. But it took utility workers 27 days to make repairs and bring the substation back to life.

Don’t call us terrorists demand terrorists
Activists, advocates criticize CSIS for weighing if rail blockades could be classed as terrorism
Activists and advocates who’ve been targeted for government snooping in the past are denouncing what they see as the Canadian Security Intelligence Service’s “vilification” of First Nations activism.
They say they know the state is watching, but it still came as a surprise to learn CSIS secretly weighed whether rail blockades could qualify as “acts of terrorism” in reports beginning in November 2020.
“It is an absolutely ridiculous sentiment to me that in 2022 when Indigenous people make a stand for their lands and their water, we get called terrorists,” said Skyler Williams, a prominent Mohawk activist from Six Nations of the Grand River in Ontario.
Coastal GasLink attack, church burnings, rail line blockades are terrorist acts. Own it.
Attacks ignite concerns that enviro-violence is returning to B.C.’s pipeline country
Arsonists have allegedly struck a parking lot full of RCMP vehicles in the same region of interior B.C. that has previously seen coordinated attacks on targets related to the Coastal GasLink pipeline.
Before dawn on Wednesday, multiple cars were set alight in the parking lot of the Sunshine Inn in Smithers, B.C. After firefighters extinguished the blaze, it was found to have destroyed eight vehicles, including four marked RCMP cruisers and a B.C. ambulance.
CSIS weighed whether rail blockades supporting Wet’suwet’en could be classed as terrorism
Canada’s civilian spy service assessed whether First Nations land rights activists who disrupt trains should be classed as a “terrorist threat” to national security alongside the likes of Al-Qaeda and ISIS, according to declassified documents.
But the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) eventually decided the label wouldn’t stick after probing the issue in secret, internal studies whose findings were shared with government officials in an unclassified March 2021 counterterror briefing.
RCMP, government vehicles set on fire in ‘targeted attack’ in Smithers, B.C., police say
Four RCMP cruisers and several government vehicles, including an ambulance, were burned in a hotel parking lot in Smithers, B.C., early Wednesday in what police are describing as a “targeted attack on emergency service vehicles.”
RCMP Cpl. Madonna Saunderson said eight vehicles were damaged or destroyed by fire outside the Sunshine Inn in the central B.C. town, which lies around 300 kilometres west of Prince George.
Photographs of the scene show a charred cruiser and pickup with RCMP markings.

No doubt right wing extremists. I bet this disappears into the memory hole like the Coastal GasLink attack.
Darrell Brooks verdict: Guilty in Waukesha Christmas parade terror attack
WAUKESHA, Wis. – A jury found Darrell Brooks guilty in the Waukesha Christmas parade attack that took place Nov. 21, 2021.
This, after a more than three-week trial that was, perhaps, unlike any other we’ve seen. Brooks was convicted of all six first-degree intentional homicide charges.
Waukesha parade killer is kicked out of court again after interrupting judge and then builds a fort with document boxes
A Wisconsin man who is standing trial for allegedly plowing his SUV through a crowd at a Christmas parade in Waukesha killing six people was kicked out of court yet again for his erratic behavior.
Darrell Brooks, 40, is representing himself and has worked to disrupt his trial, was banned again on Monday to a separate courtroom where he was he proceeded to build a fort with boxes, shielding himself from the camera.
Over the course of his trial, Brooks has stripped his shirt off in court. He has complained that the prosecutors are ‘slick.’ He won’t let the judge get a word in. And he won’t even answer to his own name.
Waukesha Mass Murderer Treated With Kid Gloves
The influence of Critical Race Theory is apparent in the trial of Darrell Brooks for the automobile massacre of six innocent people and injury to 60-plus individuals at a parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin in November 2021. Additionally, we can see the influence of such disparate movements as feminism, deconstructionist philosophy, and nihilism. These varied influences have enveloped the trial with an Alice in Wonderland aura, where there is virtuous posturing but not sufficient rationality, dignity, professionalism, and seriousness in play.
Accused Waukesha parade killer Darrell Brooks weeps while presenting his defense to jury
“There’s always two sides to every story,” Brooks said as he opened his defense case on day 14 of the high-profile trial, the outlet said. “There’s only been one side told to this story.”
Brooks is charged with driving his red Ford Escape into the heart of the festive parade, leaving more than 60 people injured and six dead, according to police.
Not every story has two sides.
Former FBI Official Will Testify About White House Pressure to Inflate Domestic Extremism Numbers
Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee announced on Thursday that they would be calling a former top FBI official to testify before Congress to address claims that the Biden administration pressured agents to label cases as domestic extremism or a white supremacist threat even if they did not meet that criteria in order to match Joe Biden’s rhetoric.
Isn’t it interesting that the sudden focus on an imaginary surge in “white supremacism” & “domestic terrorism” coincided with the The Great Reset and its Green-Scam.
It happened simultaneously and most noticeably in the USA, Canada, Great Britain and Germany. It’s as if governments were attempting to criminalize their citizens in order to stamp out opposition to unpopular policy decisions like unfettered mass immigration or economically ruinous “green energy” initiatives.
The Trucker Convoy was portrayed as a NAZI Panzer division driving on Ottawa by Justin and his media. Just coincidence I’m sure.
Canada: The Weak Link In Countering Terror Finance?
Justin Trudeau, Canada’s charismatic young Prime Minister, seeks to cultivate a progressive image. The Wall Street Journal calls him “the world’s golden boy of liberal politics,” while lamenting that a corruption scandal tarnished his “rock-star popularity.” Much of his progressive façade, however, rests on an embrace of identity politics. And, as often happens when ethnic lobbies trump individuals, radicalism wins while the silent majority loses out.
