Potential for two major fuel pipeline shutdowns this week shows fragility of North America's energy system
Financial Post ^ | 5/10/21 | Geoffrey Morgan

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.

I know the lumber is planned, I’ve seen the yards just piled high with stock, but it’s being withheld.

We need to get some skilled hackers to destroy the Russian energy pipeline.

America's enemies are well aware of the weakness in America that allowed...

The enemies I think you are thinking of (China/Russia) are in similar disarray right now. All these countries and more have a Deep State problem that must be solved now.

Russia has disengaged their banking from the reserve dollar. Good for Russia. This is a big interface to their Deep State problem.

China's Xi views the CCP much like DJT viewed the CIA/MSM.

It is a harbinger of some extremely bad things to come if the American People don't wake up--and fast!

Maurice Strong speaking about his globalist partners in crime "...in order to save the planet, the group decides: Isn't the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn't it our responsibility to bring that about?"

See tagline. This doesn't just end in economic collapse.

the Biden administration works to pass a $2.3 trillion ... whatever.

The BidAn regime is not too concerned about anything.

“False Flag”

Don’t we know it and watch for the deepstate to really make this one hurt. Got to keep eyes off that AZ audit and Michigan and NH. A national emergency has already been declared. My guess is they will drag this out til there isn’t a can of beets left on the shelves. Better get out and stock up. The stores here are jammed.

Not sure where you are but they are building houses like crazy here in Indiana. Money is historically cheap, demand is off the charts.

Interest rates are low. That’ll change. Costs to build aren’t low. As I said, costs are being artificially driven up. All this stuff today is all interconnected. You don’t need to worry about a thing though, all is well.

Because the people who hacked our pipeline are based in Russia and harbored by them. You take out ours, we take out yours.

Putin was right about one thing: the next war will be fought — is being fought — with ones and zeroes. It’s time we recognized that it’s already underway and used cyber war on our enemies.

Why would they bother with such a thing. I don’t believe it. But I suppose it is possible.
