No doubt the ragtag Antifa types who act as perpetrators are being handed all the important info on how to attack and where are just patsies for powerful background circles hellbent on destroying nation states.
Critical observers are adamant that the Berlin power network is always being hit at its most vulnerable points.

The left-extremists "Vulkangruppe" wrote a letter of confession, and they claim responsibility. Who knows where they got that knowledge from?
I don’t take anything that comes from the mainstream and/or political ruling class in Germany at face value. Therefore I‘m skeptical about anything they say about who did this or that, in which way and why.
Be is as it may, it is certainly interesting and perhaps telling that germans “can’t get“ around 50.000 people in their own capital (Berlin) back on the electrical grid for at least 4 days or so, in the dead of winter.

I‘m afraid that is the way many germans will have to find out that it isn’t a good idea to rely solely on electricity to heat your home: The hard way.
I find this to be highly suspicious.
A week-long power outage in the dead of winter. Immediate certainty that 'leftists' carried out an arson attack, yet no arrests or other details about suspects. And something similar happening just a few months ago...
It reminds me of the spate of unsolved attacks on power grid electric substations in the USA. The only surface difference is that, over there, the perpetrators as cast as right-wing extremist 'white supremacists/accelerationists', also seeking to 'bring on the collapse of Western civilization'. Why do US authorities suspect they're being committed by right-wing extremists? Because there have also been foiled power grid sabotage plots in which federal informants entrapped members and associates of the 'AtomWaffen' neo-Nazi group (whose members have also been active in Ukraine in recent years).
Anyway, let's look closer at these recent outages in Berlin:
As the Guardian reports it:
Here's the dystopian scene in Berlin today:
Now, the last two paragraphs from the above Guardian report:
An "unnamed anarchist group online" means, of course, that the perpetrators could have planted a false trail to protect their real identities.
So, what happened back in September? Berlin's longest power outage in a quarter-century (Up unti yesterday's, which they're very certain will run for another 5 days). I found a a summary of that incident on Medium:
Wow, deliberate arson, and politically motivated! In Germany, you can't insult Der Chancellor online without risking arrest, or openly support the AfD without being surveilled by the state, so the authorities surely cracked down hard here and made lots of noise about it in the media... right?
Wrong! No arrests, no official statements, no media follow-up investigations or reports.
On yesterday’s ‘arson attack’, Bild reports:
I cannot reliably search German media as I don't know the language, so, FWIW, Grok tells me that not a single suspect has been named, nor any arrest made, for any of these 8-9 acts of sabotage against the German power grid in recent years.
And that, in arguably the most tightly controlled country in Europe, is extremely suspicious. I.e., it smacks of an organization that is shepherded through its deeds by 'intelligence connections' and 'security clearance'.
This 'Vulkan group' may be, as suggested above by Ricardo, akin to today's Baader-Meinhof Gang, an 'extreme leftist' organization in the 1970s that turned out to be 'handled' by NATO/CIA agents.

Yep. Pretty much my suspicions as well.
I can’t repeat enough how Germany seems, yet again, to be on the forefront of evil, at the very least within Europe. It hasn’t been looking good for years/decades here and it is getting worse.
I lived here long enough, have seen closely how tightly manipulated and often willingly encouraged many people here are (not only “the people above“, far from it). Not to mention the totally corrupted system. Frankly, I think Germany is a Pathocracy and possibly one of the farthest down that road in the west. And by now I don’t think an AFD party could change much about it either because it has already been infiltrated as well. There is basically nothing I would put past “those in power“ here.
There is basically only one person left I would risk voting for and that is Wagenkecht. But the system itself is so desolate and corrupted that I can’t see much hope in any usual political procedure either. I’m afraid Germany is once again on the road of “learning“ lessons the hard way, in one form or the other.

The major of Berlin also gets badly and rightfully criticized since he didn't show up for about 10 hours. He refused to do anything symbolic, or rather important as a politician should be: to be with the people, to talk to them. Be it giving tea, blankets and a perspective and pressure to repair the stuff.

A group of climate activists called The Volcano Group have claimed responsibility for the blackout. Yeah, sure.

Climate extremists claim responsibility for blackout affecting 50,000 households
A group of climate extremists has claimed responsibility for a major blackout in southwestern Berlin
The mayor of Berlin is criticized by the Berliner Zeitung for not making token appearances (to please the press) while people living in the blacked out area wouldn't even have known that he was there without radio, TV, phones and internet.
He has told the press that he was organizing the situation from his home phoning emergency services and the army which is fair enough.
As Berlin is moving towards the September 26 election rants like these will be mushrooming all over the place.
Mr. Wegner (a christian democrat) is the only guy in Berlin standing between the encircled middle class and a total left wing city/state government. He has openly admitted that the three left wing parties (Left, Greens and the SPD's left wing) have a potential of voters around 60% so he has to go softly as he is hoping to form another coalition government later this year.
If he fails Berlin will be subjected to a left wing 'climate emergency' reducing the maximum speed within city limits to 20 mph (30 km/h) which could prolong traversing the city from west to east from 90 minutes to up to three hours.
Private cars will be banned from the inner city, and businesses would go belly up. Wind energy converters will be erected in Berlin's forests and recreation areas. I think you get the picture.
Today Wegner went on record stating "a left wing extremist group has attacked our infrastructure again and endangered the lives of many people". That's an idea that the left wing media (let alone parties) in Berlin will have trouble to accept.
One of the major obstacles for an election success of Wegner is of course the dismal performance of Friedrich Merz, his party colleague.
So Wegner must be hoping for Donald Trump to abduct Merz just as he did Maduro, but chances are thin as there are no oil reserves in Germany.
