Stealing the election was an ‘act of war’. This is a skirmish in comparison.
Put a bounty on these lame mfers. Problem solved.
NEWT: “If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I have no money I’m going to give you. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let the pipeline go now, that’ll be the end of it”.
People without question will die because of this. So yes, it’s an act of war.
i don’t know pipelines from Adam and maybe this is a stupid question but ok i’ll bite:
i mean the suez canal was shut off by a supertanker blocking the canal itself. nothing to do but unblock the supertanker.
but in the old days they had pipelines right? with no computers right?
so, how is it possible to stop the physical flow and distribution of a material (for days and shutdown a whole region of the country) from a pipeline with a mere computer hack?
aren’t there mechanical backups, fail safes, alternate/manual valves and procedures in case of failed computers?
what if the grid went down? would the same thing happen? i just don’t get any of this, yet. but it stinks of people who have become so dependent on computers that they can’t act without them.
‘...order the killings of anybody overseas’ who was found to be behind attacks on America’s infrastructure, describing the cyberhack of the Colonial Pipeline as ‘an act of war’.
YES!
How about the political hack who killed the keystone pipeline? What should happen to that guy?
Eventually they will blame it on dark web domestic terrorists.
You know, Trump supporters.
First. somebody will need to explain what just happened to Joe. That will probably be Kamalas thankless job.
The problem is, if the FBI/CIA, or other alphabet Deep State organization went after the ‘bad guys’, would I trust that they got the right ‘bad guys’? Nope.
Ping
It is an inside job!!
For every automated valve there is a manual override.
there is no reason for the pipeline to remain closed.
they are making up an excuse to go on the warpath.
I do not trust any damned thing federal gub mint.
