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.

which makes it all the more laughable/ironic/sad that law enforcement in NC were very slow to come to the conclusion that the electric grid has been attacked and not just vandalized. Then they said it was a "wake up call." I guess they didn't get the DHS memo 6 months ago....
