Just difficult to play prevent defense in a fairly large country with an open society where individuals within our own Nation seem to be working with that same strategic adversary. |

[link to www.whitehouse.gov (secure)] Hello One Second After Read all Forstchen's trilogy (he's in NC mountains) and it was the most depressing set of books I've ever read, hands down. And the most realistic. Heaven help us if that shit happens. And thought struggles against the results, trying to avoid those unpleasant results while keeping on with that way of thinking. That is what I call 'sustained incoherence.' ...David Bohm “How, O Zenobia, hast thou dared to insult Roman emperors?” ...Aurelian, 44th Emperor of the Roman Empire |

It’s the middle of a heat wave in July, states have extended their “shelter-in-place” orders at least 3 times, masks are required causing people to sweat bullets and then the power goes out. Sounds like a scene from Falling Down. Get ready to see people lose their shit completely. |

[link to www.whitehouse.gov (secure)] How is an EO protecting the grid? It's the same grid before the EO and the same grid after the EO. Something in writing doesn't mitigate physical hardware. If you read the link you will see how it will protect the grid and how they propose to go about it. This is long over due! It appears they know what vulnerabilities in the equipment to look for. This is just a portion.. (bold is mine) (b) Rules and regulations issued pursuant to this order may, among other things, determine that particular countries or persons are foreign adversaries exclusively for the purposes of this order; identify persons owned by, controlled by, or subject to the jurisdiction or direction of foreign adversaries exclusively for the purposes of this order; identify particular equipment or countries with respect to which transactions involving bulk-power system electric equipment warrant particular scrutiny under the provisions of this order.

Most power plants are controlled by Windows 7 desktop computers, linked to Allen Bradley PLCs which actually do the direct controlling of the generation unit. Quoting: R. Wordsworth Is there such a thing as a desktop PC made in the USA? I don't think the PLCs are made in the USA either, actually I'm sure they aren't. How the hell am I supposed to go about rectifying this situation? It could cost millions of dollars to convert the PLC logic to an American made PLC, of which I don't even know of one that exists. Well Mr Trump must know of one that is about to exist.... |

Why dont we just give control of everything over to the President. What could go wrong with centralized power? Your fucking dumb and a bootlicking goose stepping asshat. The corporations that run the world have (past tense) taken control of everything already! There are no nations, only corporations.

TRUMP, President of the United States of America, find that foreign adversaries are increasingly creating and exploiting vulnerabilities in the United States bulk-power system, which provides the electricity that supports our national defense, vital emergency services, critical infrastructure, economy, and way of life. The bulk-power system is a target of those seeking to commit malicious acts against the United States and its people, including malicious cyber activities, because a successful attack on our bulk-power system would present significant risks to our economy, human health and safety, and would render the United States less capable of acting in defense of itself and its allies.” Quoting: AmericanSpyglass Translation - Not fucking good. translation: false flag, the pentagon is going to attack the US power grid and blame it on someone else. |

This order might also allow the military to take over utilities in the event of an attack. Again, what are we expecting? What are we expecting... WAR...

I feel this is a positive thing to make the grid more secure. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78860277 How the fuck is it going to do that? All the computer components that control the grid were made in China. You're telling me that with a stroke of a pen, Trump just required the entire grid to throw out their computers and PLCs and replace them with domestically made hardware, which even if it FUCKING EXISTED, would cost a trillion dollars to replace???? |
