According to ABC, coordinated attacks involved three separate Black Hills Energy gas line sites, one in Aspen and two elsewhere in Pitkin County on Saturday. According to Assistant Police Chief Bill Linn, the saboteurs had some knowledge to understand what they were doing, they “tampered with the flow lines. They turned off the gas lines.”

Despite that threat to thousands of people, this has gotten very little attention from national media. A quick search reveals no coverage from CNN and MSNBC. While ABC News covered it on their site, it didn’t even make it to their air the day it happened on ABC’s World News Tonight, according to MRC. Apparently, leftist terrorism against the infrastructure doesn’t grab those networks.

I haven't heard anything about Earth First in probably 20-30 years.
Fuck the liberal press. I get my news from the real press. Those asshole Earthy people do not give a tinkers damn about real people. So what if innocents freeze to death, it is for their "noble cause".
ReplyDeleteActually, with fanatics like that, the more people who die, the better.
DeleteAnd, as always, the truly dedicated environmentalist would simply commit suicide.
Always sign your work as Earth First, BLM, Antifa, etc...

Earth first! We'll drill the other planets later.
ReplyDeleteEarth first
ReplyDeleteWe can strip mine the other planets later
pay attention people...
ReplyDeleteif the S#tF and and hot revolution/civil war fires up, it's soft targets like this that will be high up on the 4G warfare list. take out the power, food, comms, and transportation and you have gone a long way to winning. and you don't need a company of fighters to accomplish missions like these.
Bingo! Always looked at the above ground natural gas pipeline manifolds... protected by a sign and chain link, and say... soft target...huge impact in a northern climate suburb during winter
DeleteOh, lovely. My house is less than 1/2 mile from one of these lines...
Delete...you start taking out targets like stymieing peoples ability to heat their homes and/or cook food and you'll loose their support most ricky tick. Then your 4G warfare goes nowhere and you end up D E A D R T 'cause the locals will rat you out in a heart beat, to stay warm and fed. You can't win without the support of the locals. You don't have enough hard hearted friends, guns or ammo to do it on your own or even with a small group.
DeleteNow, if you're talkin' taking out the power and/or electricity to the local PD and/or NG armory, a fusion center or three, the local FBI and BATF office, all of the local cell towers and the regional AT&T internet hubs, you might have the beginnings of a plan. But, you'll STILL need a shit ton of guys to do it as the opening gambit in what will be a long and bitter struggle.
I'm not saying winning CW2 is not doable, but it's virtually impossible without the support of The People.
Okay, BLM-antifa-EarthFirsters want to keep the locals on their side ... but they were also the ones starting fires in northern California. Sure, the locals hated the bastards, the news media still swoons over them, and the Democrats still fall in line with their extreme left-wing dogma.
DeleteUnfortunately, it would appear, terrorism works. It worked for Osama Bid-Laden -- the west has basically surrendered its future to Islam at this point, crashing those planes was an absolute roaring success for Islam.
It worked for the Muslims in Lebanon. It worked for the IRA in Ireland. It is working for the oxymoronic anti-fa (who have completely taken on the role of Hitler's Brown Shirts).
@Anonymous: "Unfortunately, it would appear, terrorism works...It worked for the IRA in Ireland."
DeleteActually, it didn't work that well at all for the IRA in Ireland. It worked somewhat in Ulster, but led to a lot of tit-for-tat stuff that hurt their own communities about as badly. Where it worked really, really well was in England. A couple of big bomb attacks - with warnings to limit casualties - did *billions* of economic damage, and actually hurt the British more than anything else.
Your looking at the short term. Short term, lots of Muslims were killed in the mid east as a result of the 9/11 attacks, but the west caved and Islam made inroads they couldn't have without terrorism.
DeleteSure, Catholic Irish were killed in tit for tat, but the English caved and the Irish got most of what they wanted in Northern Ireland. Terrorism works.
"Attacked" by turning off valves.
ReplyDeleteSorry...that's maintenance.
An "attack" is thermite on well heads and distribution compressors, and mantraps getting to the fires.
Of course no fake-news coverage YET. Give it time. They're still looking to find a way to blame Trump and his white supremacists .
ReplyDeleteBest thing Earth First! ever did was that damn crack in the dam banner, and that was their one positive contribution to society. Still, they were never as bad as their ilk are today. The youth protests get more violent, incoherent, and just plain ugly with every generation.
ReplyDeleteKKTV in Colorado Springs sometimes has decent coverage of important stories elsewhere in Colorado.

I fully support these people.
ReplyDeleteWe absolutely need to save the planet, natural gas is the result of fracking, which is killing the planet.
Instead we should heat our homes using firewood instead. Yes, cut down our forests to save the planet.
