Like catastrophic terrorist attacks and pandemics, a Catastrophic Power Outage has long been an area of high interest deep state groups looking for "a new Pearl Harbor moment"Template:Cn.
Overview
The deep state talk of an electromagnetic pulse or a cyberattack knocking out the US electricity grid has been increasing during 2020,[1] leading to increased planning. It is unclear how much other countries are involved in the planning.
Russia, China, North Korea, Iran and other designated US enemies are aware of the US potential to knock out their power system.
- Western public opinion is being prepared for the same countries being singled out as a culprit for such an attack. For example,
during the Russiagate psychological operation, the Russians were accused of hacking the Vermont power gird,Template:Cn a claim that was soon debunkedTemplate:Cn, but which conditioned the public to the idea.
- The US has established a Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to handle" severe natural disasters, cyber-physical attacks, electromagnetic events, or some combination"that "present new challenges for protecting the national power grid and recovering quickly from a catastrophic power outage."[2]
- The President’s National Infrastructure Advisory Council (NIAC) was tasked to examine the nation’s ability to respond to and recover from a catastrophic power outage of a magnitude beyond modern experience, exceeding prior events in severity, scale, duration, and consequence[3].
- The Foundation for Resilient Societies is interested in "protecting U.S. critical infrastructure, including the electric grid". Their staff includes experts "with dozens of years of experience in critical infrastructure protection and continuity of government issues."[4]
- The deep state Center for Security Policy is interested in the subject, and has established a Secure the Grid! coalition filled with 'former' CIA leaders[5].
- in July 2020, Klaus Schwab, the leader of the World Economic Forum, one of the pushers of Covid-19, has warned of "comprehensive cyberattacks bringing power supply....out society as a whole, to a halt" in the near future.
- The subject has been wargamed, including in the 2010 In the Dark workshop.
