NC infrastructure attack predicted by G. Gordon Liddy in 1989

[Shipwack]

When I first heard about the substation attack with rifles, something tickled the back of my mind. I knew I had heard of this before.

After a couple of days of searching, I found it. A story G. Gordon Liddy wrote for Omni magazine back in 1989. Granted, he foretold a more widespread attack by a terror cell financed from abroad, but it is an interesting read nonetheless. He also points out other vulnerabilities we had then, and we still have today.

Of course, take the whole thing with a shaker of salt because it is Liddy, after all. I especially “like” the part at the end when his solution to a United States in shutdown is to invade an uninvolved country (really!).

1. We did and it didn't work. We invaded Granada so this shit wouldn't happen.

But it did, anyway.

Fuck Liddy. .

2. This has received a lot of attention at least since 2016...

the potential for militia and other domestic terrorists to attack infrastructure.

3. I remember reading that article

back then. I think of it whenever something like this happens...even if a transformer explodes randomly. I was a bit surprised at the time that they published it, as I figured some people could use it as a how-to manual.

4. This also happened in Washington and Oregon State
