Hackers shut down gas line from Texas to North Carolina

[hollohas]

The weird thing about this one is the hackers ALMOST apologized. They released a statement that said causing social problems wasn't their intent, they only meant to make $$$.

So doesn't sound like they're going to do it again. Unless of course they did make money (Biden admin did suggest companies pay these hackers ransoms) then maybe they're willing to accept the collateral damage.

First guns, then ammo, now gas! At least it's not toilet paper, that would be shitty...

Well this thread went down the toilet quick!
But seriously, maybe a bit tin foilery but whos to say its not part of their "green plan"- see if we had no more fossil fuel this would never would have happened. Yea like the windmills will make up the difference when power is in high demand.

So easy to make this a false flag. The intelligence agencies are so corrupt and have a history with this sort of thing (e.g. fast and furious), that you just can't take anything they say at face value anymore. In these times, there are several plausible alternative explanations: for example, to get us (more) used to scarcity/socialism, to create a "problem" that is solved by pushing even harder for green energy, to distract from other problems, etc etc

Im an engineer but no expert in gas and oil distribution. Even though they may have been hacked, those are computers controlling mechanical systems. I cannot believe those mechanical systems cannot be manually controlled while any computer-based damage is repaired.

For reasons I don't understand, this could be as the news media is reporting, Could be. But they have taught us all to be highly skeptical.

Reports coming out that over 1,800 stations in the SE are sold out as of this morning.

Some metro areas in the SE have 65-80% of the area stations sold out.

Hope they get that pipeline flowing again soon!

So they are saying that pipelines are needed and Texas has a surplus of gas....

And yes, royal PITB for folks that are involved. It looks like Streach'in Grechin is trying to close access to the pipe line..

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer threatened Tuesday to go after Enbridge’s profits from a Great Lakes oil pipeline if the company defies her order to shut it down.

This is what I don't get, you would have to be a fairly intelligent person to be able to hack and shut down a computer system that controls 1,000+ mile pipeline...but you didn't know that it was going to cause societal problems?

That just doesn't square with me.

This is my take. It's just awful convenient that right after a president that has vowed to destroy the oil and gas industry takes power that now all of the sudden "hackers" are taking down pipelines?

Pipe line was restarted, but I think that's just a Truth Flag done by the Biden administration trying to show the country they are capable.

Of what? Honestly. what do you believe this administration is capable of.

I want to get things done. I want to get them done consistent with what we promised the American people,” said Biden, who spent decades in the Senate. “I am going to say something outrageous: I have never been particularly poor at calculating how to get things done in the United States Senate.”



The president was repeatedly pressed about the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border, where increasing numbers of young migrants have overwhelmed the government's holding facilities. Biden promised better media access to the camps -- once his administration has a better handle on things -- as well as improvements to the nation's immigration system and U.S. help to improve conditions in the migrants' home countries
