    I just saw this online is weird. Could this be a cyber attack on America infrastructure?


    On Friday morning a trio of concurrent power outages hobbled New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, three of America’s fastest moving cities. Here’s everything we know so far about what happened.

    I just leave the link here for people to read it https://www.inverse.com/article/30635-everything-we-know-la-nyc-sf-power-outages

    Some people in LAX had to use the stairs because the escalators were out.

    No Top 20 media organisation reporting on it, therefore fake/mickeymouse news.

    The power went off in the three cities around the same time. Could be a cover up?

    CNN not reporting it's a Cyber attack. The only reason they would not cover it. They are the mouthpiece of the establishment.

    I'd reckon all the American media is American biased.

    California can never keep the lights on. Brown outs and blackouts were common when I lived there

    Even Cleveland probably want the Browns out at this stage to be honest.

    Even Leeroy? I know they say he is bad bad but he's probably just misunderstood

    New York

    So some yank on what looks like a glorious sunny day in San Francisco is worried about his "freezer, his food and ........... his cat"

    I'm trying to work out what his cat does all day normally that requires electric... PlayStation perhaps.....????

    The only people who should be concerned are serial killers who keep bodies in the freezer imo.....

    The Americans, never did build a proper national grid to avoid these power issues, most European cities have several power lines & substations to avoid such large scale power cuts if one part goes bang!

    Maybe he did a DIY job of it and cryogenically froze the cat when it died.

    The cat reference is probably related to use of an auto feeder?

    I remember when I was working in White Plains, NY.

    A sub blew in Manhatthan and caused a power outage all the way to White Planins. It was a lovely day and got to drink beer and eat ice cream all day when I got back to Yonkers as the shop we lived above was selling very cheap Ice cream and beer.

    Was also working there in 2003 when the eastern sea front had a power outage. NY was very nervous that day as there was a building in downtown on fire.

    Turned into an epic weekend. Was meant to fly to Tronto but couldn't. Rented a car and drove with some randomers. The craic and drinking on the 7 hour drive was mighty (maybe not for the driver!)

    But it's Aliens.

    It's the influence of the inbound Nibiru & the Anunnaki ****ing with the planet. Expect more of this type of incident before total annihilation in October.

    I'd a brown out the other day, I wasn't expecting it at all, I thought it was just a fart, I thought I was safe. Had to have a shower to clean up the mess.
