Thanks for posting. This just reinforces my concern that many elected officials in government are for China first rather than America First. Beginning with Obama I thought....gee these policies that harm America couldn't be thought of better by Xi Jinping or Vladimir Putin themselves. Now, after Biden and all the growing evidence, it appears our government has some people who genuinely wish to destroy our country. A complicated "Swamp" of environmental NGO's, Democrats, MSM, WEF, UN and some other bad actors. Worrisome. Glad you are making others aware. BTW Here is Frank Gaffney's group and a webinar I was invited to participate: 1. Frank Gaffney, Dave Walsh and Team at Present Danger China.orghttps://presentdangerchina.org/webinar-inside-our-wires-the-ccp-has-penetrated-our-electric-grid-will-xi-destroy-it/
Exactly. Take the entire “net zero” fantasy as another prime example: 1) the world is going to end if we don’t reduce the amount of plant food in the air, 2) in order to do that, we need to reduce our use of fossil fuels and switch to renewables, 3) reducing our use of fossil fuels and switching to renewables dramatically increases energy costs, 4) China controls the state minerals necessary for renewables, 5) China floods the world with dirt cheap renewable equipment like solar panels, 6) the increased energy costs leads to the deindustrialization of the West, and 7) China continues to build coal plants, doesn’t reduce carbon emissions and picks up all the manufacturing lost by a deindustrialized West.
Thank you for your comment. During the Biden Administration I wrote several articles on my thoughts. Not very well publicized then but perhaps more appreciated now. I hope it is not too late for President Trump's policies to reverse the Democrat Party path to decline of America. Here are the older blog posts, FYI
Excellent point Ryszard!! Just by the policies to destroy the California oil and gas industry, and China adding more than enough refineries, it would appear that contracts and agreements were made to outsource gasoline and diesel - it would appear.......
Thank you again Stu, I will use this information in an upcoming event .!!! Good article.This will help us make a huge point and hopefully drive the climate cons far away!
Sensationalist fear mongering, I’m sure USA is just as capable of interfering with China’s power grid, but why would China do that as all they need they to do is keep up their manufacturing prowess. Educate yourselves with the discussion (on YouTube channel’s “Decouple”) between its host by Dr. Chris Keefer and journalist/author Patrick McGee - “How Apple Made China a Tech Powerhouse”, https://youtu.be/RocQGE_s7PU?si=sy25NiY5m1qj9ok5 . Or better still read McGee’s Book "Apple in China - (subtitle) The Capture of the World’s Greatest Company” The book’s an in-depth corporate history which examines one of the most important symbioses in economic history. It explains Apple's meteoric rise in market capitalization/revenue, as well as China's newfound dominance in precision manufacturing.
The USA, certainly under Trump, can stomp around the globe thumping his breast, remonstrating with his weapons of war, threatening tariffs and sanctions, and claiming its going to bring manufacturing back home to USA, but except for those embedded in USA and few others in the Global North, USA’s for one, no longer seen as trust worthy, and second not seen as serious at going it alone without a massive increase in costs (inflation) in the absence of refined minerals and finished products from within China’s supply chains🤔
Thanks for the heads up! Good reasons for building more separation between grids or local, free-standing grids. Off grid for homeowners - but unfortunately, it's too expensive for many people. In fact, most ways of preparing for such disasters are too expensive for most people - it's a sad fact. And woe for those who live in rented apartments with limited ways to be prepared - unless you have some suggestions for them?
That this has been going on and the Biden Clown Show Administration did nothing about it is truly shocking and tells us a few things: 1) the U.S. is at risk of an attack (which need not be militarily) from China because none of these lakers are being published by chance as this is all funded, no doubt, by the CCCP; and 2) we better our act together, and fast. Take that writer, connect her with the Trump administration, and start making the necessary system changes asap.
How important is having domestic manufacturing supply for all critical systems? Certainly the risk mitigation is more certain when your equipment does not have hidden communications devices embedded.

Way cool comment and Links - I will go through these thanks!!!!!

Just a coincidence? Or a long term CCCP plan.

I will definitely check these out!
When it comes to California, the Chinese have allies in the state government. The communist government there is passing laws that allow the Chinese to take complete control of the power grids. https://www.gov.ca.gov/2022/11/16/california-releases-worlds-first-plan-to-achieve-net-zero-carbon-pollution/

Stu, "If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck."
Well, updating the grid is going to get more expensive. But it will be worth it.

Thanks Ann, and Let me know how we can help you with any topic!
