Two Attacks on our Country, Pearl Harbor and the Electric Grid
CSN - Citizen Voice Bulletin - 12/8/2022
__ Thursday Bulletin
Friday Bulletin
As we were preparing to move the Thursday edition for the final phase of posting to Substack, the Google document being prepared started to automatically erase as if someone had control of my backspace key, and as I kept fighting the action by pressing “undo,” the entire document disappeared before my eyes. I took my finger off the undo arrow only for a moment, but in my attempt to get to settings and take countermeasures, and in that brief interval, the rest of the document of our Thursday edition evaporated into the inner realms of the ethernet.
This is why we are sending a Friday edition. All of the toil and time put into the edition was wasted. As I attempted to view the last version, all I could pull up was what readers see below. The strikethroughs indicate the erasing or canceling of the text…
The rest could not be recovered, no matter how hard I tried to figure it out. So, it is quite ironic that on Tuesday the December 6th edition was relating a bit about the attacks on Pearl Harbor:
“since tomorrow is December 7th, there are three messages related to the attack on Pearl Harbor… There is a significant difference in the two types of attacks. The one initiated by the Japanese Imperial government was a full force, head-on type of attack intended to disable the U.S. military so the Japanese Imperial government could take control of so many small nations across the Pacific. The one initiated by the CCP is subtle at times, multifaceted and nefarious…”
The two articles that we are offering (yes, we are still moving forward…) deal with attacks as well. The first is an article I posted on December 7th in Canada Free Press. It offered a basic reminder of the Pearl Harbor attacks, but compared that attack to the current attacks on the United States from China (as in theCCP). The article speaks for itself. It covers a great deal of territory, but not enough. The link to the The Final War | EpochTV embedded in the article takes viewers into truly shocking territory. Readers need to watch it and get eyes wide open!
Today’s second article is from Jack Gleason and it also dealt with another type of serious attack: “Harden the Electrical Grid or Suffer the Consequences.” Gleason’s article was first posted in Canada Free Press as well. He focuses on recent attacks on two Duke Power power stations in Moore County, NC. Nearly 50,000 customers were left in the dark on Sunday night. It appears to be domestic terror attacks.
Gleason points to the seeming lack of concern over such issues from the elected leaders. He indicates that there are several more attacks that people seem to ignore for whatever reasons. “This issue has been discussed extensively for decades, but our leaders in Washington, DC, have failed to act, even though the cost to ‘harden the grid’ would be less than $10 billion. In an age where billions are spent on scores of useless government projects, it begs the question ‘why isn’t something being done?’”
Stepping back from these two articles, it made me wonder about the attacks on our Citizen Sentinels Network website, and upon my work on my laptop. This attack was one of several I have had to deal with in recent years, but I’ve always been able to find a work-around or had been able to employ pertinent countermeasures to limit losing content. It took extra time when I had little time to spare. This edition will be remembered for a long time to come. It is difficult, yet it is symbolic of the troubles we are facing in posting important and relevant information to our readers. Evil delayed this round being sent by deadline, but better late than never.
This incident is also symbolic of the troubles we are facing as a nation. Read my article and watch the “Final War,” and readers may become shocked awake. But what one does after being awakened is the real determining factor of what will become of our Republic. As for our Citizen Voice, we are under attack and need to rethink our strategy for the coming new year. Essential re-alignment is inevitable due to the ongoing attacks to our CSN website. Serious changes will show up in the coming year, but for the rest of this month, we will only offer two Thursday editions.
With the migration to Substack, we asked our readers to keep faith and make the move with us. Again, we ask readers to keep the faith as we will be announcing the final changes in January.
Again, we ask If our writer’s perceptions are worthy of others’ attention, it has been our hope from the outset that readers would share today’s Citizens Voice with those who may need enlightenment. With the recent attack today, we have reduced the number of our aggregates and entries today. Nevertheless, it is also our hope that readers would please take to heart what they do have to read or view. We will continue, in whatever way we are able to help in educating American citizens who still need to be awakened, and to help with empowering those who are awake. May God bless all of our readers and may God bless America!

Comparing the Attack upon Pearl Harbor and the Current Unrestricted Warfare upon the United States of America
By Dennis Jamison --December 7, 2022
A few minutes before 8am on December 7, 1941, the peace of a sleepy Sunday morning was
shattered as hell was unleashed upon the United States naval base in Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. It was an overt act of war initiated to commit horrendous destruction as well as to kill as many enemy military personnel as possible. And, in just two hours, over 2,400 Americans had been killed and 1,178 U.S. military personnel and civilians had been wounded, 188 aircraft had been completely destroyed with an additional 159 more aircraft damaged. Additionally, 20 ships were either completely sunk, seriously damaged, or crippled.
Americans remember Dec. 7, 1941, as an incredibly dark day in the nation’s history; however, a remembrance of this atrocity should not evoke hatred or ill-will toward Japanese people – there is so much animosity and resentment already and no more will do any good. Now, any memory of such an insidious atrocity should be focused on looking at unrestrained government tyranny. Remembrance of such an insidious attack upon Pearl Harbor in light of the current international tensions and recent world conflict, should stimulate Americans to more deeply understand our present conditions of being at war with the government of Communist China.
Sadly, the tragedy at Pearl Harbor ultimately went far beyond Hawaii and the United States. By the time President Franklin Delano Roosevelt addressed Congress on December 8, 1941, the Empire of Japan “had undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area.” Roosevelt reported to Congress that he was aware that the Japanese imperial government had launched simultaneous attacks against Hong Kong, the Philippine Islands, Malaya, Guam, and Wake Island. Such a coordinated series of attacks shattered the peace that had been initiated after World War I. The “peace keeping” body in the years following the “war to end all wars” was the League of Nations. It was incapable and relatively powerless in limiting Japan’s imperialistic thrusts in the Pacific realms.
A devious, destructive, and deadly dictatorship deliberately attacked the U.S. in 1941, and the empire-builders in Japan’s government had targeted the U.S. stronghold in order to keep the only nation that could stop its imperialistic thrusts out of its way. This sneak attack was also a powerful demonstration of Japan’s military might intended to cripple the Pacific Fleet. It was also a bold act of terror intended to foment fear in the American public.
Yet, over 80 years after such an attack, America is suffering from an even worse attack against our nation. An equally devious, destructive, and deadly dictatorship is deliberately attacking the U.S. now. Today, CCP leaders have targeted the U.S. as a whole in order to destroy the nation from within before any real confrontation escalates into a kinetic war. CCP attacks also utilize stealth, but in even a more insidious and pervasive manner. The recent documentary from the Epoch Times exposes and details the 100 year plot to defeat and destroy the nation. The Final War | EpochTV
As more light shines into the shadows of our corrupt political system, more and more manipulative and nefarious maneuvers in the 2020 presidential election are being revealed, as well as the irregularities in the recent midterms are being uncovered. Despite the major coverup by the mainstream media and the suppression of free expression over social media channels, as is now being exposed by Elon Musk in the “Twitter Chronicles,” the truth is bubbling to the surface. It seems that some political operatives wanted to win elections so badly that they would sell their souls to do so. We are just learning more about how President Biden and his family benefitted from their dealings with the CCP.
It has become increasingly obvious in the past two years that America is fighting a “civil” Civil War with an enemy within and simultaneously being relentlessly attacked by the nation’s most formidable international enemy. Perhaps the two are simply the external cause from the CCP and the internal interference from Chinese-allied domestic enemies. We, as American citizens, have never had to fight such an insidious enemy, and we need to realize we are facing a threat to our very existence as we understand it. Unfortunately, there are those domestic enemies welcome this. Certainly, our global enemies do.
Sadly, Americans may not be paying too much attention to slow, methodical, and systematic attacks against the Judeo-Christian ideals and principles of our Republic. Citizens may not care too much about the number of Communist spies in the United States at this time, even though there have been several stories in alternative media outlets, as well as some in the MSM, that revealed Chinese spies in the U.S. They are not just gathering information, they act as agents of influence as well.
One attack against U.S. citizens comes through the flooding of deadly fentanyl onto America’s streets. In 2020, a Rand Review essay revealed that “drug overdoses kill more Americans than car crashes, gunshots, or AIDS at its peak. But it’s no longer just a crisis of prescription pills or heroin. It’s a crisis of fentanyl…”
According to the CDC, “...in 2020, more than 56,000 deaths involving synthetic opioids (other than methadone) occurred in the United States, which is more deaths than from any other type of opioid…” Synthetic Opioid Overdose Data | Drug Overdose | CDC Injury Center
The entire nation is under attack from illegal drugs. In November of 2020, NPR additionally posted a story about the surge in fentanyl addictions and deaths: Street Fentanyl Surges In Western U.S., Leading To Thousands Of Deaths It revealed: “Much of the fentanyl reaching American street markets is still coming from mainland China…”
COVID was made in China too. More and more information is being documented and revealed about this tragedy, but still the news is being suppressed. However, the evidence is too great, and this deadly plague-like disease spread worldwide since it escaped the Wuhan laboratory. Whether by design, or by premature accident, several nations were initially struck with the fear of a deadly pandemic worse than the deadly 1918 flu. Within the U.S., fear of a subsequent COVID “pandemic” is still fomented by the MSM outlets parroting Chinese propaganda.
“Progressive” governors with anti-constitutional draconian mandates actively limited the people’s freedoms by ignoring their rights under the nation’s Bill of Rights. They altered elections; liberty was limited in a way not witnessed since British tyranny. We learn now through Dr. Fauci’s deposition that one of his deputy administrators, Dr. Cliff Lane, believed the Chinese had handled COVID in an effective way, and Fauci affirmed “Lane also stated that America would possibly ‘have to go as extreme a degree of social distancing to help bring our outbreak under control,’ just as China.” Fauci’s Deputy Was ‘Impressed’ by the Way the Chinese Were Handling Coronavirus
Even morons can see to what extremes the Chinese government is willing to pursue. We still witness the outcome of such extremes on the daily hews.
The Japanese Imperial government was an over attack of full force, head-on, intended to disable the U.S. military so the Japanese military could take control of the many small island nations across the Pacific. The attacks initiated by the CCP are subtle at times, multifaceted and nefarious. The CCP also intends to take control over many small nations in the Pacific, so their attacks are aimed to destroy the United States from within, from outside, and from an alliance of evil nations working on that destruction. The sleeping giant must awaken before it’s too late.

We are left with little trust that the interests of the American people are being considered
Harden the Electrical Grid or Suffer the Consequences
By Jack Gleason ——Bio and Archives--December 8, 2022
Almost 50,000 Duke Power customers in Moore County, NC were left in the dark on Sunday night in what has been called a domestic act of terrorism. A curfew is running from 9pm-5am as schools close and crime spikes. Most customers remain without heat, refrigeration and water.
Duke Energy spokesman Jeff Brooks said “We are looking at a pretty sophisticated repair with some fairly large equipment and so we do want citizens of the town to be prepared that this will be a multiday restoration for most customers, extending potentially as long as Thursday.”
Two power stations were targeted by direct gunfire.
The attackers knew “exactly what they were doing,” said Moore County, NC Sheriff Ronnie Fields. “It was a gate, and they went through the gate, got at the substation, and shot it as well… It wasn’t random.”
While the liberal media immediately started blaming “right-wing militants” because of a nearby gay pride march that afternoon, the broader implications of the attack have been largely ignored – our power grid is completely vulnerable to anyone with a gun and the knowledge of where to shoot.
Grid News reports that there are more than 55,000 such power stations throughout the country and “There were 70 reports of emergency electric incidents and disturbances caused by suspected physical attacks, sabotage or vandalism from January to August 2022, Grid’s analysis of the most recently available data from the Department of Energy found. That figure represents a 75 percent increase from 40 such reports in all of 2015…”
Jon Wellinghoff, former chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, said that these gun attacks are “a problem that should take a relatively little amount of money and time to rectify, and one that can be taken care of with a few measures that would obstruct these pieces of infrastructure — primarily transformers — from view and from harm from projectiles… Something as simple as sandbags would be effective,” Wellinghoff told Grid. “It’s not rocket science here that we’re talking about to be able to protect these things. And it’s not billions of dollars to protect these things either. It’s several millions.”
Russia, North Korea, Iran, and China currently have the capability to launch cyberattacks that could disrupt critical infrastructure
In October, CBS News interviewed Wellinghoff who discussed the attack south of San Jose, CA, of 4/16/2013.
“For 20 minutes, gunmen methodically fired at high voltage transformers at the Metcalf Power substation. Security cameras captured bullets hitting the chain link fence…. The gunmen disappeared without a trace about a minute before a patrol car arrived. The substation was down for weeks, but fortunately PG&E had enough time to reroute power and avoid disaster.” It… “could’ve brought down all of Silicon Valley.” They never caught the perpetrators, but Wellinghoff concluded “it was somebody who did have competent people who could in fact plan out this kind of a very sophisticated attack… It was actually a very shocking result to us that there’s very few number of substations you need to take out, in the entire United States, to knock out the entire grid… Less than 20.”
But vulnerability to gunfire isn’t the most pressing concern. In October 2021, DOE Secretary Jennifer Granholm in June told CNN that enemies of the United States have the capability to shut down the power grid, and “there are very malign actors trying, even as we speak.”
The Senate Republican Policy Committee issued a report concluding “The U.S. electric grid is vulnerable to cyberattacks that could result in catastrophic, widespread, lengthy blackouts and other loss of electrical services… Russia, North Korea, Iran, and China currently have the capability to launch cyberattacks that could disrupt critical infrastructure.”
The report noted, “In 2015, the insurance underwriter Lloyd’s developed a scenario for an attack on part of the Eastern Interconnection, which provides power to around half of the U.S. Under the scenario, an attack targeting power generators would cause a blackout in 15 states and the District of Columbia, leaving 93 million people without power.”
A successful, long-term shutdown of our power grid would plunge the United States into a new “Dark Age”
This is not new, the SRPC report continued,
“There are precedents for cyberattacks causing blackouts. In 2015, a cyberattack on a utility substation in Ukraine shut off power to 225,000 people for several hours. It was the first time a cyberattack was publicly acknowledged to have caused a power outage. The director of national intelligence later attributed the attack to “a state actor with considerable technological resources.” A memo by the Council on Foreign Relations said the circumstances and forensic evidence suggest Russian involvement. In 2016, power generators in Kiev were targeted, resulting in blackouts and strains on the system. Russia has a history of using Ukraine as a test bed of sorts, running small scale cyber operations that it may later deploy on a larger scale against the U.S. or other adversaries.
Russian hackers targeted a Saudi Arabian petrochemical company in 2017, shutting off the safety systems used to prevent an explosion. In 2018, DHS and the FBI issued an alert that for the first time publicly charged “Russian government cyber actors” with targeting and penetrating a variety of critical infrastructure facilities and sectors in the U.S. The alert said the Russian hackers had gained remote access to “energy sector networks,” which they used to conduct network reconnaissance, move through the systems, and collect information pertaining to ICS.
A successful, long-term shutdown of our power grid would plunge the United States into a new “Dark Age” and end our society as we know it. Tens of millions of people would die from starvation and violence. The survivors would be completely vulnerable to attack from foreign forces.
This issue has been discussed extensively for decades, but our leaders in Washington, DC, have failed to act, even though the cost to “harden the grid” would be less than $10 billion. In an age where billions are spent on scores of useless government projects, it begs the question “why isn’t something being done?”

We continue to urge citizens to take ownership of the responsibility to keep the Republic!
Remember, an educated and enlightened citizenry is vital for our future. As it has been written:
“Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” Proverbs 29:18 - KJV
The Citizens Voice provides information that the mainstream media hopes people don’t receive. Forward these newsletters to your friends and let them witness, first hand, that there is more than one side to a story. Then they will begin to understand the peril that our nation is in and be able to make informed decisions.
We are truly thankful for all of our readers who have chosen to assist our efforts in bringing the information and words of encouragement to all Americans we can possibly reach. We are truly grateful for the generous donations from our fellow Citizen Sentinels. It helps us keep going as a truly volunteer effort. Thank you so very much for whatever can be given.
"If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin." ~ Samuel Adams, 1776
Ownership of our Republic is now the fight of our time! Keeping our Republic depends upon the genuine sense of ownership of the Land of the Free. Either this is our country, or it will belong to those who are actively seeking to take it from us. It is the same mentality that inspired someone long ago to express the sentiment that “All it takes for evil to triumph is that good people do nothing.” Efforts to take responsibility for keeping this nation a free Republic are organically occurring right now all across the nation.
