Show Notes: US Vulnerabilities Discussed on BEL

As you can see, soft targets have already been chosen, or at least according to authorities.  While it is entirely possible to mask your steps and make it appear as though you are Russian hackers, you cannot rule out the possibility that Russia is sending us a warning.  We thought that the grid was a more likely striking point to cause greater panic – it’s the type of damage that renders a populate inert and vulnerable and would be an action that gain attention rapidly.  But perhaps that would make too large of an impact too soon, and give the US provocation to retaliate, or even launch a “preemptive” strike. 

One should also consider that the United States has not demonstrated great resilience in very recent years like we have during earlier wars and conflicts.  Look to the neurotic reaction our fellow Americans had during the COVID crisis with hoarding toilet paper and the complete capitulation to the health care experts who have kept us under their thumbs with mask mandates and other recommendations.  Pretending that getting take out is the same as wilderness survival training is not the proper steps for reacting in true emergency when the power to your home is disrupted.
