The Neo-Nazi Extremists Trying Bring Down the Power Grid | IRONCLAD

Today on Change Agents, Andy sits down with Catherine Morehouse, an energy reporter at Politico, to explore the growing threats facing the U.S. power grid. Catherine shares insights from her investigations into recent attacks on power infrastructure by extremist groups, including Neo-Nazi plots to sabotage substations in an effort to cause outages and incite racial tensions and violence.

DOJ Report From Sept. 2024: "Maryland Woman Sentenced for Conspiring to Destroy the Baltimore Region Power Grid" https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/maryland-woman-sentenced-conspiring-destroy-baltimore-region-power-grid

From the DOJ report:

“The defendant plotted to disable the power grid around the entire Baltimore region and cause harm to thousands of people in pursuit of a racially motivated violent extremist agenda,” said FBI Director Christopher Wray. “Her plan failed thanks to the great work of the FBI and our law enforcement partners. Today’s sentencing should serve as a warning to others that you will be held accountable if you attempt to carry out violent attacks on our infrastructure or threaten the safety of those in our communities.”

According to her plea agreement and other court documents, in 2018, Clendaniel became acquainted with Brandon C. Russell, a Florida resident, who is currently charged with conspiracy to damage or destroy electrical facilities in Maryland and is awaiting trial. Clendaniel and Russell espouse a white supremacist ideology and advocate a concept known as “accelerationism.” To “accelerate” or to support “accelerationism” is based on a white supremacist belief that the current system is irreparable and without an apparent political solution, and therefore violent action is necessary to precipitate societal and government collapse.
