The outage on the Colonial Pipeline could be exacerbated by a Michigan state order forcing Enbridge Inc.’s Line 5 pipeline — supplying oil to Michigan, Ohio, Ontario and Pennsylvania refineries — to shut down on Wednesday, which could further strain U.S. oil supply. Calgary-based Enbridge has vowed to defy the order and continue shipping oil through the line until forced to close by a court. Analysts believe shutting down Line 5 could cause higher fuel and propane prices in affected areas in the U.S. Midwest and Central Canada as well as potentially thousands of layoffs.

“A top White House national security official said the U.S. intelligence community is working to determine whether the hackers of the Colonial Pipeline have ties to the Russian government.”

Yes, the CIA has ties to the Russian government in that it deliberately frames Russia for its own actions.
Agreed. This has nothing to do with funneling a bag of money to some unknown Russian hacker, and everything to do with something larger.
It’s “an overhyped, manufactured story” for a reason.
I think so too. And this may be in retaliation for them wanting to shut down the Enbridge Inc.’s Line 5 pipeline...
Yep... Absolutely.
Just creating a major market for the Detroit automakers EV lines.
Now imagine our consternation if Iran targeted our diesel fuel network and sent its dozens (hundreds? thousands?) of sleeper jihadis to do some harm.
Patriots who can carry concealed should do so. Always. The Minutemen remain our first responders.
It took till your post WAAAAAYYY down the list to point out the guilty bitch responsible for this.
They have been trying to shut down that pipeline and others like it for a long time.
Although this says $100k for illegals
Oops - sorry wrong post!
See the earlier links!
What are the odds it was shut down by the Biden/Barak regime?

The No 5 line runs through the UP of Michigan. We Yoopers absolutely hate the C##t troll from down below.
Worthless C##t.
There are no coincidences; too much is now coming down.
The 1950's Operation Mockingbird is getting destroyed in front of our very eyes.
“To carry multiple products or grades in the same pipeline, different petroleum products or grades are held in separate storage facilities at the origin of a pipeline and are delivered into separate storage facilities at the destination. The different types or grades of petroleum products are transported sequentially through the pipeline. While traversing the pipeline, a given refined product occupies the pipeline as a single batch of material.
“At the end of a given batch, another batch of material, a different petroleum product, follows. A 25,000-barrel batch of products occupies nearly 50 miles of a 10-inch-diameter pipeline. Generally, product batches are butted directly against each other, without any means or devices to separate them. At the interface of two batches in a pipeline, some, but relatively little, mixing occurs.
“...Most often, pipeline operators use a recurring monthly schedule of “cycles,” shipping all the available petroleum products of the same type in sequence. For example, only gasoline grades would be shipped during the days that constitute the gasoline cycle, and only distillates would be shipped during the days that constitute the distillate cycle. The actual duration of the cycles might vary from 6 to 10 days, depending on the volume of each material to be shipped during a particular month.”

“Another factor to consider when shipping batches of product is storage capacity at the terminal. Each refined product must be stored in dedicated tanks. Cleaning a tank to store a different product, a necessary step to ensure purity and minimize contamination, is expensive. Storage capacity for kerosene, gasoline, and other products is evaluated by customers before determining what will ordered from the pipeline.
“Most storage tanks used in pipeline operation are filled and drained up to four or more times per month. Operators usually are able to place the same type of petroleum fuel in a given tank on each drain and fill cycle, and the tank is not purged and cleaned between the routine drain and fill cycles.”

“Pipelines carry refined petroleum to a blending terminal, such as the Motiva terminal on Pickett Road in Fairfax County. After additives are blended with the pipeline product to create different brands of gasoline, tanker trucks transport the finished gasoline from the blending terminal to a gasoline station.”

America's enemies are well aware of the weakness in America that allowed the 2020 election to be stolen, a puppet like Joe Biden to become President, and the Democrat Party to seize control of both houses of Congress. They are also aware of the weakness of the Supreme Court justices.
We have every reason to expect that America's enemies abroad will become increasingly bold and increasingly threatening to America--and the world protected by America.
The pipeline sabotage is only the beginning. No matter who did it, America's enemies will see it as a testing of the water and will conclude that the USA is too confused and too decadent to defend itself, to protect the American People, or to protect her allies.
The pipeline sabotage is as scary as anything that has ever happened in America. It is a harbinger of some extremely bad things to come if the American People don't wake up--and fast!
How convenient right before Memorial Day plus this...
Before the pumps will start you must swipe your vaccination card. Rationing the biden way.
