So in the past 12 weeks, there have been…
-multiple attacks via firearms on power substations in NC and SC (just this week).
-6 attacks via firearms, hand tools, arson, & metal chains at power substations in WA and OR.
-6 attacks via firearms on substations in FL in a single 12-day stretch in September.

This style of attack on power substations has been laid out in detail in multiple accelerationist documents, including an “accelerationist handbook” that circulated on Telegram this summer.

In July, DHS warned about an “accelerationist handbook” circulating on extremist Telegram channels that explicitly called for potential attackers to bypass mass shootings in favor of causing chaotic blackouts by attacking the power grid, which the handbook referred to as a “sitting duck”. Neo-Nazi accelerationists want to use this to start a race war; they claim that with an extended blackout "all hell will break lose [sic]" and white supremacists would be poised to take control.

@rvawonk interesting that you said bypass mass shootings. I’ve been thinking that the periodic mass murders in the U.S. were orchestrated acts of civil war, not simply isolated acts of terrorism. How do we find out more about what these agents are planning and more importantly how do we stop them?
