I believe it is a hard fact that locations and news blackouts surrounding strategic petroleum reserve activities is the norm for reasons of national security.

I have been inside the Strategic Petroleum Reserve Bryan Mound facility for work.

I do not agree this could be in any way related to SPR. Anyone thinking or claiming the SPR includes production fields doesn't understand their operation, purpose and how they function.

I don’t see anyone including me reporting this as an SPR operation. What is reported is that federal officials have taken over production wells ***for the purpose*** of the SPR. And this report may be misreported. Whether it is fake or not is an open question but certainly it is not precise.

What is not fake is the large federal convoy witnessed in the area a day after the report of the well takeover.

Don’t you agree that BLM or some federal agency could coordinate to transport this oil to SPR? Why do you narrow your view to just the SPR? Don’t you know that federal agencies coordinate efforts? I know they do in other matters. In this matter, there is not enough information to know for sure.

And anyone who asserts the federal government's powers to control intrastate commerce [or non-commerce] via the Commerce Clause obviously doesn't understand its purpose, intended operation, or function… and yet it is used to assert a great deal of control over the states and the people.
