Russia planned US power outage... in 1967

I wonder if someone read the article and got inspired?



The KGB also had plans to put America in the dark. Operating from a safe house in Big Spring Park, near Harrisburg, the capital of Pennsylvania, KGB terrorists planned to attack powerline interconnection points serving the Northeast. Montana was the focus of what Andrew believes would have been a two-stage attack against Flathead and Hungry Horse dams. "[The documents] identified a point, code-named Doris, on the South Fork River about 3 kilometers below the dam where [they] could bring down a series of pylons on a steep mountain slope that would take a lengthy period to repair," says Andrew. "The KGB also planned a probably simultaneous operation in which commandos would descend on the Hungry Horse Dam at night, take control of it for a few hours and sabotage its sluices. In 1967, a number of frontier crossings were reconnoitered, among them areas near the Lake of the Woods and the International Falls in Minnesota, and in the regions of the Glacier National Park in Montana."

Very interesting.

Has anyone announced an offical and final conclusion on what caused the blackouts?

There is an article that I posted that blamed the whole thing on a tree falling on a high tension line.

Ummmmm.... yeah, right.

Wasn't Timothy Leary experimenting with Acid at about the same time? Perhaps he shared the "control" sample

The russians have a good imagination don't they. They must have planned every way possible to destroy the US. Funny they didn't figure out how to make better refrigerators?
