Acknowledging that this is all speculation, if we take the Q posts at face value, at least some of the time, Q said that the grid is safe, protected by the black eye. Don’t ask.

We’ve also been told repeatedly that Patriots are in control, thus disturbances in the grid are taking place under their watchful eye.

Extrapolating from that leaves us three options:

Disturbances are intentional because “someone” seeks more chaos, they are the side effect of an undeclared war putting additional strain on the grid, or they’re happening naturally because this is the stage we’re at as a society.

Meaning that we’ve reached the point where society’s draw on the grid is maxing out capacity, and at certain times, heat waves etc. it comes close to collapse.

Likely there are other things going on that are putting stress on the grid.

There’s already enough chaos, so white hats have little reason to create additional hardship.

Bad actors are always interested in more chaos.
