FBI Warns Chinese Hackers Are Poised to Hit US Infrastructure Anytime With ‘Devastating Blow’
‘Its plan is to land low blows against civilian infrastructure to try to induce panic,’ FBI Director Christopher Wray said.

FBI Director Christopher Wray said Thursday that hackers linked to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) have infiltrated America’s critical infrastructure and are biding their time as they wait for the right moment to strike a “devastating blow.”
Mr. Wray said in an April 18 speech at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, that the threats posed by China-sponsored hackers are no longer a matter that’s over the horizon but that “they’re upon us now.”
“A few years ago, we might have said China represents the most significant long-term threat,” he said. “That’s no longer the best way to describe the danger.”
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) assessed last year that the Chinese regime was busy building the capacity to deter American intervention in a looming crisis between China and Taiwan by 2027. But that timeline has been accelerated, Mr. Wray said, noting that some of the effects of the enormous CCP-backed hacking enterprise are already being felt today.
An ongoing Chinese hacking campaign known as Volt Typhoon has burrowed into numerous U.S. companies in various critical sectors including telecommunications, energy, and water, with 23 pipeline operators targeted, Mr. Wray said. With a hacking program that is larger than every other major nation combined, China is developing the ability to physically attack critical U.S. infrastructure at a time of its choosing, he warned.
“Its plan is to land low blows against civilian infrastructure to try to induce panic,” he said.
Many of us know John Guandolo as he has been speaking to conservative groups all around the country for the past 15 years regarding the threat from Islam and now the enemy within our own country. Below you will find a sampling of John’s videos that you can find on Rumble. John’s book, ‘Raising a Jihadi Generation’ is an excellent source for knowledge on understanding the Muslim Brotherhood Movement in America. Please see John’s extremely impressive bio at the end of the videos Nancy

China’s cyber army is invading critical U.S. services
A utility in Hawaii, a West Coast port and a pipeline are among the victims in the past year, officials say

EXCERPT FROM THIS ARTICLE:
“It is very clear that Chinese attempts to compromise critical infrastructure are in part to pre-position themselves to be able to disrupt or destroy that critical infrastructure in the event of a conflict, to either prevent the United States from being able to project power into Asia or to cause societal chaos inside the United States — to affect our decision-making around a crisis,” said Brandon Wales, executive director of the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). “That is a significant change from Chinese cyber activity from seven to 10 years ago that was focused primarily on political and economic espionage.”
The Chinese military is ramping up its abilityto disrupt key American infrastructure, including power and water utilities as well as communications and transportation systems, according to U.S. officials and industry security officials.
Hackers affiliated with China’s People’s Liberation Army have burrowed into the computer systems of about two dozen critical entities over the past year, these experts said.
With FBI Director Christopher Wray, warnings of a heightened national security terrorist warning alerts, this might be a good time to keep a checklist of items you may need in the event we have a national emergency that can adversely affect us. One example would be an attack on our national electric grid which would bring our country to a standstill. Listed below are a list of items you may want to keep on hand if just such an emergency occurs. (more…)
EXCERPT FROM THIS ARTICLE: The U.S. is also making a historic transition from conventional power plants fueled by coal and natural gas to cleaner forms of energy such as wind and solar power. Grid operators across the U.S. have been warning that power-generating capacity is struggling to keep up with demand, and that gaps could lead to rolling blackouts during hot or cold weather extremes.
Everything is bigger in Texas, including its electricity use, which is increasing at historic rates in a sign of what is to come for much of the U.S.
The country’s largest electricity producer and user saw sales grow at five times the national rate for the past decade, roughly like adding Louisiana. A crushing heat wave this summer broke 10 peak demand records for the main Texas grid operator, which narrowly avoided blackouts one hot evening.
Texas is an extreme example with a big population that needs a lot of air conditioning, but it is also at the center of trends pushing electricity use higher in pockets of the country: the reshoring of manufacturing, the growth of power-hungry data centers and a push to electrification.

Article by Gordon Change re Probable War with China, also how the Chinese are infiltrating our country through our southern border (rough estimate of military age Chinese men – 5,000 – 10,000) and how they will be attacking our electric grid, infrastructure , water supplies to bring us down. All this could happen while our military is concentrating on gender identity. We have been complacent and are so vulnerable ! Thank God many of our citizens are armed ! We are one of the few nations of the world that allow their citizens to be armed The stocking up on canned food and water wouldn’t be a bad idea either. Nancy
There is now a Chinese invasion of the U.S. homeland.
Chinese migrants are entering the United States on foot at the southern border. Almost all are desperate, seeking a better life for themselves and their children. Some, however, are coming to commit acts of sabotage.
Many [Chinese], however, are short-circuiting the long waits at the consulates. At the southern border, Chinese migrants are entering the United States in unprecedented numbers.
Once here, the military fighters can link up with China’s agents already in place or Chinese diplomats.
How many of the PLA fighters have slipped into the United States this way? Some estimate 5,000, others 10,000. Those numbers sound high, but whatever the actual figure more are coming.
These are China’s shock troops. The concern is that, on the first day of war in Asia they will take down America’s power lines, poison reservoirs, assassinate officials, start wildfires, spread pathogens, and create terror by bombing shopping malls and supermarkets.
The saboteurs will almost certainly attack American military bases. China has already been probing sensitive installations. Chinese agents posing as tourists have, for instance, intruded into bases, including the Army’s Fort Wainwright in Fairbanks, Alaska.
Many of you will remember that information was sent out on President Trump’s 2018 Executive Order a couple of weeks ago regarding foreign involvement in our elections. A report was due on December 18, 45 days after the 2020 election from our intelligence agencies to determine if there was foreign involvement in our election. Below, you will find the link to that Executive Order.
Below you will also find a link to a warning that was issued by Lin Wood, an attorney who is working closely with Sidney Powell on determining to show foreign involvement in our 2020 election. Whatever Lin knows must be concerning for him to issue this warning to all citizens.
Below Lin Wood’s warning is an article postponing the Dec 18 report from our intelligence agencies regarding foreign involvement. Our country is like a gigantic tinderbox over this election with strong evidence there was very significant voter fraud and very possible manipulation of our Dominion voting machines that Sidney Powell and Lin Wood are working on to document . Perhaps we should take Lin Wood’s warning very seriously and be prepared for any emergency. Nancy
Lin Wood warning to have plenty of water and emergency supplies
Better to be safe than sorry. Make sure you have PLENTY of water, food, flashlights & batteries, candles, radio, 2nd Amendment supplies, & a plan to meet with leaders of your communities. Remember we only have 1 President at a time. Our leader is
