" News / Exclusive: U.S. Officials Address 'Asymmetric Warfare' In Recent Train Derailments Many of the accidents are happening along a key DoD railway corridor known as 'STRACNET' Published: March 08, 2023 | By Adrian Norman The United States has recently experienced numerous high-profile incidents involving the destruction of critical infrastructure, including fires at warehouses and food processing plants, and other events impacting the nation’s food, water and energy assets.

A primary concern for many are train derailments across the U.S., some of which have resulted in ecological damage to surrounding areas, killing animals and contaminating the water supply. Such events are garnering closer national scrutiny. . ."

" . . .One common denominator among the spate of recent train derailments is that many have occurred along a key railway system used by the military — the U.S. Department of Defense’s Strategic Rail Corridor Network, otherwise known as STRACNET.

The U.S. Department of Transportation supports the STRACNET program, which enables the DoD to “access more than 32,000 miles of rail lines to move essential military equipment to ports located around the country and to connect military facilities,” according to a report from the Defense Technical Information Center.

STRACNET is one of three programs within the DOT that enables U.S. military forces to “surge capability when needed anywhere in the world,” the report states, and to quickly mobilize to defend the nation during an emergency. Structural disruptions to this railway network could impede the military’s ability to move equipment should a serious event arise.

Sad to say, but my first thought is these incidents are being caused by members of our own American government.
From Biden’s first act of shutting down most domestic oil production, then depleting our reserves, then dumping tone of our weaponry onto Ukraine, in seems his overall intention is to disable us, to weaken us an an independent country.

The WEF and their auxiliaries in D.C. are most assuredly causing this.

AND dimming the sun to help crops to die.

Biden suggested the gov should start doing it and a few weeks later this came out ...

A startup says it’s begun releasing particles into the atmosphere, in an effort to tweak the climate FR thread

They intend to use sulfur dioxide. The stuff dirty coal-fired power plants in China emit.

Bean counters have taken over management in many companies from engineers.

They only care about the next quarter, not long term maintenance and upgrades.

It's a wonder we don't have more problems.

This could be far more nefarious than weakening us. Who is to say it’s not blamed on “Republic terrorists” ... who are then subject to being rounded up like our political prisoners in DC?

Me too. It only took the Biden Admin to get elected for this to start.

“..That suggests China or Russia...”

It is China which has been buying property and gaining financial control of businesses and property throughout the nation and generally infiltrating every aspect of government, education, etc. - not so much Russia.

All this talk of Russian interference in elections and more I believe is a smoke-screen to hide what all china has and is doing to weaken and control this nation.

Instead of just jumping to conclusions - the Devil did it - why not determine the proximate cause of each of the derailments? For example, the East Palistine derailment suggests to me it was a wheel bearing failure on one of the cars and neglect of the crew to monitor the track camera system. What was the maintenance record on the wheel bearings? Was the camera system operating properly at the time? Were the engineers sleeping on the job? Seems to me these derailments can be taken apart fairly easily to see if there is a pattern of sabotage going on.
