[chowderhead]

Currently, parts of San Francisco is without power including downtown and the northern parts of the City. Early today, NYC was hit with a power outage in midtown delaying subways. There are reports that LAX in Los Angleles experienced a power outage this morning. coincidence?

In before "Russians did it".

Coincidence? Maybe. It's a solid hot spring day, right?
Maybe some aging infrastructure or recently installed faulty parts are breaking.
OTOH, tampering with utilities is LONG overdue when it comes to terrorism.

People setting power substations on fire?

Agreed all the way around. I'm surprised our aged power infrastructure hasn't been a larger target... Wanna disrupt American lifestyle? Cut off the power. No TV, no Internet, can't charge cell phones? Eek.

Well that's concerning.

If the MTA having some sort of power problem that causes subway delays is an attack by the Russians then NYC is attacked by the Russians about once a week, haha.

Many people are saying North Korea is behind the recurring derailments crippling Penn Station.

If you have ever had the 'pleasure' of watching somebody go through a psychotic breakdown, you will have seen somebody in the grips of fear with their mind racing from one notion of the cause of that state to another, a massive release of associations, connections, and imaginary causes happening at an accelerated pace. In such manifestations is is possible to see before your own eyes that thought is fear and that it is fear that can generate associative thought. It is the grip that what we think is reality that creates the tie in to fear, the assumptions that the imaginary connections we make are actually there. Thought is there to calm fear, to tell us where danger lies, to assure us that the environment is safe, to detect patterns that signal danger in the randomness of sensations. When there is an underlying anxious state, PTSD, childhood conditioning, etc. fear thought will take flight and we will see threats in everything.

Smart people try to confine all such fears to a monster that lives under the bead and jump into it to sleep at night from six feet away. Just make sure your bed has rubber feet so it doesn't careen into the dresser. Trust your wise friend, Moonbeam, on this.
