DHS Alert: Right Wing Extremists Poised To Attack Power Grid
Domestic and racially motivated violent extremists are developing plans to attack the U.S. electric sector reports The Daily Beast.
The Beast obtained an intelligence bulletin from the DHS.
“DVEs have developed credible, specific plans to attack electricity infrastructure since at least 2020, identifying the electric grid as a particularly attractive target given its interdependency with other infrastructure sectors,” the alert said.
As usual, lone wolf attacks are singled out.
Will Republicans in Congress howl like they usually do?
I remember under President Bush the DHS put together a very serious report that came out after President Obama took office. It said this country was at risk from right-wing extremist groups.
As usual this caused a total freak out on Fox News and every other right-wing outfit. Brit Hume and Michelle Malkin spearheaded the attack on the FBI for "silencing conservatives." Please.
As David Neiwert wrote for us back in April of 2009, "Conservatives Indict Themselves With Shrieking Over DHS Report On Right-wing Terrorism."
