Non-random thought: It wasn't a cyber-attack.
?? Theory ??
Why do I say that? --Because it's the excuse that the press is reporting.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is retaliation for Texas and Florida opening back up. Texas isn't in danger of any shortage thanks to platforms in the Gulf near them, but there's lots of panic-buying in Florida, and with people itching to go on vacations approaching summertime, this is the perfect ploy to keep people from trying to have some fun in the sun and kill off China's failing bioweapon.
Platforms don't determine whether you have ready availability of gasoline for your car. It is refineries that determine whether gas will be available, and even more significant, whether gas can be delivered to the stations. Texas has refineries; not so much in FL. LA has refineries, but I haven't heard what is happening there. DE and NJ have refineries. Here is a pretty good article about the pipeline and the cyber attack: https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/2021/05/11/colonial-pipeline-cyberattack-ransom-what-we-know-gas-shortage/5035040001/
We have two in FL that provide over 70% of our fuel needs. We're fine. The panic in FL is among the ignorant and uninformed.
The panhandle does get supplied by Georgia. There is a moderate gasoline shortage in Georgia. Panic buying made the situation worse. I don't know if the Florida gulf refineries can make up for the shortage from Georgia. So the shortage in FL is isolated to the panhandle so far. North FL pede here, this is how I understand the situation.
Yep. Totally agree. Just like before a Hurricane. I'm in S FL and on the way home from work yesterday, I saw lines at gas stations and people filling 5gal gas cans as well. Just a matter of time before it's all gone. The shortage might not have been that big of a problem for us, but once again the MSM has created a panic that will bring on a real shortage.
You can create a shortage simply by saying there is a shortage. Human nature takes over from there.
Something something, buy up 30 cases of toilet paper. I might get some gas, but thats just because I'm almost out today. In the PNW though so thinking were pretty isolated from this
While it is most likely fear and hoarding (just like with TP), New Braunfels, Texas has gas station closed with no gas and long lines at other stations.
Hello from Selma! I got gas at QT last night, no problem and no lines.
True, but having platforms helps ensure the refineries are supplied, do they not?
All is well in LA as far as I can see. No panic spotted at all though local media isn’t helping.

Cyber Polygon- WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM
https://www.weforum.org/projects/cyber-polygon
This project is part of the World Economic Forum’s Centre for Cybersecurity Platform Digitalisation is accelerating everywhere. New digital ecosystems are forming all around us, creating unnoticed linkages across services and supply chains.
As the world grows more interconnected, the speed of development makes it difficult to assess the impact of change.
A secure approach to digital development today will determine the shape of our future for decades to come. Having the right skills in place is key to protecting organisations from attack now.
What is Cyber Polygon?
Cyber Polygon is a unique cybersecurity event that combines the world's largest technical training exercise for corporate teams and an online conference featuring senior officials from international organisations and leading corporations.
The 2021 conference discusses the key risks of digitalisation and best practice for the secure development of digital ecosystems.
The 2021 technical exercise builds and tests the skills needed to protect our industries, centring on a targeted supply-chain attack.
Every year, the training brings together a global businesses and government agencies to collaborate on technical exercises. The live stream draws in millions of spectators from across the world.
2020 results
120 teams from 29 countries took part in the technical cybersecurity training in 2020. The live stream viewership reached 5 million from 57 nations.
A comprehensive report with detailed results of Cyber Polygon 2020 is available here.
Cyber Polygon in 2021
This year discussions during the live-streamed conference will centre on secure development of ecosystems. With global digitalisation further accelerating and people, companies, and countries becoming ever more interconnected, security of every single element of a supply-chain is
key to ensuring the sustainability of the whole system.
During the technical exercise, participants will hone their practical skills in mitigating a targeted supply chain attack on a corporate ecosystem in real
time.
The event will be held online on July 9th. Applications from organisations wishing to join the training are open. See further details on the official website.
It’s the FBI - they can tap into your private networks. Hole in the firewall. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.marketwatch.com/amp/story/the-fbi-just-got-permission-to-break-into-private-computers-without-consent-so-it-can-fight-hackers-11619449844
Stand by, posting.
Having the permission to break in doesn't mean that they're automatically able to.
In any event, oil companies and equipment are primary cabal property. So, they're either (a) shutting if off deliberately, (b) have lost control of it due to white-hat hack, or (c) once-in-a-blue-moon the media is relaying the truth, and isn't the timing ever curious?
The reason I discount (c) is because they'd have just reloaded the software off back-ups by now, and any excuses that such back-ups don't exist (due to "aging infrastructure", lack of funding, general incompetence, etc) are dismissed out of hand as propaganda.
spooks do the job, blame " hacker organization " that is a strawman they created themselves. probably.
I prefer the more technical description: "insufferably arrogant know-it-all".
(Btw, I am not the one who downvoted you.)
BTW, if there's an insufferably arrogant Pepe avatar, I wouldn't mind having one. A dapper frog done up "tophat, monocle, and mustache"-style would be perfect. Failing that, this one would do (sans aqua border).
I see what you did. Lol. But also good points any were just out here trying to figure out the truth, so every perspective matters. Good work fren.
I was in security forensics for a while. No computer hack can cause the disruption for so long. Most critical infrastructure has plans and back up that could erase every line of code and data and reload to be back up and running in 48 hrs. This makes no sense.
It’s only important what the masses will believe, not what the real experts know.
OP is right, the press is a highly reliable way to learn the truth
Read what they say, then assume the opposite is true
Well of course, once I heard it was 'Russian Hackers', it became immediately obvious that this story was bullshit.
They want to run down the economy by giving money to people so they don't work. They want prices of everything to rise so that there is less economy activity as people conserve. The easiest adjustment knob is oil prices. Fuel is needed for farm production and the transportation of everything.
What? You mean a company that supplies a critical fuel with great profit margins didn't have the foresight to have protections in place plus at least one, if not multiple, backup plans to continue operations in the event of a disaster? Seems perfectly normal. Nothing to see here. You folks are conspiracy theorists.
I worked in IT for a natural gas distribution company for 10 years. I absolutely believe that they didn't have protections in place for their SCADA systems. That part is probably true. But...
I also know we wouldn't have shut down the whole gas system for a ransomware attack. The computers that control their SCADA systems could be reimaged in a couple of hours and the pipeline has manual controls for just this kind of situation.
Resolved, then: it's either Cabal shutting down their pipeline for market-rigging purposes, or white-hats/patriots-in-control shutting it down to thwart a potential terrorist plot they'd gotten wind of of. --Blowing up a pipeline now doesn't result in that massive of a fire; it'd only burn what was in that particular section.
It also occurs to me that surreptitious travel by "pig" is now no longer possible, although I suspect that such a thing was never more than the provenance of Bond films.
Hmmm. Travel by "pig". Pipeline shut down to stop human trafficking? Yeah, I think I need to get some more coffee.
Thank you for the education. I wasn't too far off!
I dont think any of us believe it was a Russian cyber attack. Putin is laughing his ass off!!!!!!
It will be food next. Your being punished.
I think this is another control measure. The Covid lockdown and mask ploy is failing so the plan to stop the oil/gasoline flow to control the location of people-no gas, no travel, just as we are easing into school being out and summer vacations. With the Covid lockdown, people ill after the vaccine and the plan for vaccine passports, deep state had to come up with another plan to control people. Wokeism is failing with Coke and Disney and hopefully the cruise lines will tank further with the requirement for “vaccines.” The airline industry should fail too if they pursue the vaccine route. People are not going to fall in line just because the government, doctors, big business push their vaccine spiel. Those businesses and companies which offer a free coffee, free donut, $50-100 to get the shot are telling the population exactly what value they put on your life, and it isn’t much. Fauci and Gates are despicable, working hand in glove with China, WHO, Big Pharma, Hospital Administrators, Doctors and the media to create and push false narratives-the Covid shot to stealthily exercise eugenics and infertility over the next few years, and in the process maybe capture more of the “unvaccinated” with the shedding. Add to that Gates’s collaboration with a Planned Parenthood for population control, especially with African American women. Soros is a criminal from his youthful Nazi collusion days-that is how he started his fortune, on the backs of tortured and exterminated individuals. Tell me why he was allowed into the U.S., while other Nazi colluders were deported? He pushes his agenda with his wealth-paying BLM and Antifa, along with other groups like Open Society, to cause riots, racial animosity, destruction and mayhem. I would like to see all of these people and their collaborators arrested, tried and hung. Investigate all of their offspring too, because more likely than not, they are following in their parents footsteps-Gates children, Chelsea Clinton and husband (Epstein Island), Soros children, etc.
“People are not going to fall in line” What delusion are you in ?? The entire world has been in line for a over a year, I am still the only consistent maskless person in my grocery store, and I am in Florida.
The boob tube has them. Bad.
The. Is.the.way
I'm not ant IT guy but, I've known for years about SCADA and all the different infrastructure that uses it. We've been warned for years about the vulnerability of these systems and it looks like little was done to bolster security. Maybe that was on purpose. I worked for my municipal water utility for 20yrs. and know that the pumps and chlorination are monitored by one laptop that gets handed off between just a few of people. They take turns and get paid to sit at home and address any issues that may arise. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be too hard for anyone to hack into this system and cause havoc.
I agree completely. This is a false flag event with multiple purposes I suspect; to try and steal the news cycle away from the audit; to push the fucking green new and to punish red states.
They manually turned off the pipes. This is to both attack the opened-up southern red states and to force higher gas prices. 2 of the biggest oil pipelines in the middle east were destroyed the other day too because of all the missiles and chaos over there. This is all planned. No more gas in the southern states, and now less or no gas coming from the middle east. Gas prices are going to rise everywhere is my guess.
What better way to paint high flying crypto as suitable primarily for criminal actions and seek to tax/regulate/destroy it before it interferes more with your great reset?
Hey at least inflation hurts China too though ?
Why the fuck would they intentionally destroy their own power source?
People never think this shit through
How do you pay your soldiers with worthless money? How do you control your population with money that’s no good from which you can’t draw tax revenue or the faith of the people.
That’s not how any of this shit works
People around here are amazing patriots who are legitimately amazing at making connections, keeping the faith, and finding information that isn’t anywhere else, but overwhelmingly suck at anything involving money
Is there anyone here dumb enough to think it actually was a cyber attack.
I hope not.
-Warren Buffet and co had documented benefits from the Keystone XL pipeline deal being snuffed out. -As OP said - people buying gasoline futures, other futures tied to gasoline (logistics). -It also conditions the public further with fear. If you go back to Obama years, you had constant "terrorist" attacks and "school shootings". You had constant financial collapses looming. It was minimal compared to now, but it got people addicted to the 24/7 news cycle (arguably started under GW but Obama years really amped it up. In the Trump years, Trump removed the "threats", so the media worked hard to condition the public with hatred towards one another. It then primed people for this Scamdemic and associated scams going on, the division, lack of unity, distrust for others etc. Divide and Conquer. -If not solved soon, it will affect logistics and in turn, the economy. Local mfg. Which benefits China.You already have a logistics issue going on with shipping from China atm.
You have a "shortage" of silver, tin, lumber, gas. You have the COVID scam which can shut off jobs and life at any second. You have the looming issue of GME and whatever is happening with the markets. You have other potential shortages looming on the logistics chain.
Manufacture a crisis, create a tiny crack and you have your foot in the door to create whatever "world" order you like.
Buffet owns the rail out of the the Dakotas. (One reason gas prices haven't blipped so much as a dime up here on the news.)
Don't forget the chlorine shortage.
That I did forget! I'm sure there's other ones I'm missing too. There's been a lot. It's been extremely co-ordinated.
There's a manufactured rise atm on copper too - futures are for shortages.

A list of shortages affecting the economy of the USA.
"Perceived"? --Who actually benefits, that is the question.
For example: who's been buying summer gasoline-futures? ...autists on the 'chans could be looking into that.
Same as the Gaza rockets........... DISTRACTION !!!!!! [maybe] ???
Eliminate cryptocurrency
Can't have ransomware if there's no way to pay ransom
Can't have the public think they have a choice except to let their money and precious metals value be manipulated
once they started crying Russia i knew it was bullshit, its so pathetic its becoming a meme. Just use it for anything at this point. Russia made Biden molest Hunter and his granddaughter. Russia said its hip and cool to sniff little girls.
They want us to war with Russia so bad...nope! We're not buying it! The DS can keep on suffering their ??. We're in a cold war with them & the CCP. And we're going to finish that audit, too! ?
Good time for Texas & OK to seceed & sell their gas cheap to other states MINUS Fed taxes ??
That and the fact that the gas “shortages” are complete BULLSHIT. What was in the pipeline was unrefined crude oil. The gas in the pumps at the station are AT LEAST a month old. Likely more. Consumer Gasoline supply would not be affected so quickly.
Correct, it was manually turned off.
https://greatawakening.win/p/12igTT4L9V/east-coast-fuel-shortage--questi/ are my theories on this. Jovan's photo of the pipeline impacted doesnt show a line to FL.
Further to this: "Florida does not have any crude oil refineries or interstate petroleum pipelines.75,76 As a result, the state is reliant on petroleum products delivered to inland terminals by rail, tanker, and barge, and to marine terminals located at Jacksonville, Port Canaveral, Tampa, and other ports in the state. Petroleum products, including residual fuel oil, jet fuel, motor gasoline, low-sulfur distillate, and asphalt, arrive in Florida ports from around the world.77 An intrastate pipeline transports petroleum products from Tampa across central Florida to Orlando.78" sources link below

Having any type of control software connnected to the internet Is fucking dumb
Agreed, but it happens all the time. The IT department needs access to these systems remotely. They are usually on a LAN behind a firewall but they can still be compromised. Most of our nuclear plants have SCADA systems that are accessible on the internet and many of them still have the default passwords set on them.
Spend a few minutes searching https://www.shodan.io/ if you want to see how much crap is plugged into the internet. It's truly terrifying how vulnerable to this kind of attack we are across the world.
Woth this said, it was proven in like 2014 that cars could be hacked. I think the person that did it to orove it hacked a Jeep grand cherokee. The SUV had throttle by wire and steering by wire. The hack gave them complete control of the vehicle to operate. Roughly 2016 or 17 manufacturers started putting firewalls on ECMs to prevent this. It makes it slightly hard to buy a programmer to change parameters that would boost engine power and things of that nature. Its crazy what can be taken control of remotely nowadays.
"Ways Hackers Can Take Control of Your Car | Reader's Digest" https://www.rd.com/list/ways-hackers-can-take-control-of-your-car/
Article referencing what i mentioned.
This and with keystone being shut down and the pipeline in Israel being hit maybe their agenda of pushing away from gas/diesel vehicles and towards electric vehicles is in process? https://www.bitchute.com/video/AjcSBmHtVOzJ/
Follow the money? Who benefits the most from this?
I said that the moment we saw the articles on it on Saturday. Which brings me to another point. Why are people panic buying now when this happened Saturday?
someone mentioned that a whole bunch of NC gas stations shut down within two hours....
Cyber attack = cover story.
Elephant in the room, you don't put something that big and that crucial online, at best it will be on a limited line/node intranet that is air-gapped from the internet, if anything related to it is put online it will at most be CCTV and pressure/movement/flow/temperature sensors(and those are likely to be connected to the control system through a separate line so that there is no inter-connectivity between the data going online and the data the control system receives).....
didn't they see the movie Blackhat?
Pipelines have manual overrides for safety just like all modern industry and power systems. They aren't just hooked up to the net. I'm willing to bet this pipeline predates the internet as well, so 30ish years at least.
From what I've seen from a few other sites, the pipeline was leaking about a million gallons of gas and was forced to shutdown 2 weeks ago for repairs. Gas suppliers and truckers say there was plenty of gas available. Then the media stirred a panic just like the Toilet Paper scare of 2020 and people did what they do, they panicked. Funny how Russia "hacked" the US again...it's never China.
