In other news I think this whole event is highly suspect.

i recall the Biden-in-the-Basement Campaign speech where Mr Joe=Biden said the COVID pandemic would 'mask' and 'lockdown' the country for at least 2 Years

i submit the clique of bad-actors in Deep State, made the Biden threat a Reality (pipeline down)

Went to fill up today before work tomorrow. Every gas station I went to in four different towns was out. Had to use gas buddy to find two stations, each in separate towns, to fill up, since they were limiting sale to $20. Lines weren't long, just a few minute wait. Prices hovering around $3.

I live in Sandy Springs, GA. The lines are crazy. The pumps across the street only have 87. I put premium in my vehicle so I had to drive further down the street. I managed to fill up two cars which needed filling. I exclusively work from home so I can weather this out for a long time (had to fill up since I returned from NC this past weekend and didn't top off upon arriving). If need be I have vehicles all gassed up.

I fuel up at the Kroger Marketplace by my job. Gas is still ok there, but just up the street at the gas station, they only had Premium fuel left and it was $3.90 per gallon. I'd assume it's out by now. I'm in NW Louisiana just east of Shreveport.

Apparently we're some of the lucky ones. Haven't seen any stations out yet, but Chattanooga radio reported on concerns with city services due to fuel unavailable.... not to worry according to them, but their supplier is in daily contact about the scheduled deliveries. Sounds worry-worth to me.

The station I have been basing prices on was up another 10 cents today to $2.859. I saw another station down the road from them showing $2.999. That would be about a 15% jump in two days.

This is a MAJOR happening and there aren't enough people taking the Biden admin to task over it.

This is CRITICAL infrastructure and Biden's team is doing NOTHING about it. They're calling it "a private sector issue".

Speaking of critical infrastructure failing...seems the Mississippi River is closed to brage/ ship traffic, which is quickly piling up, possibly for weeks if not months, due to an actual broken bridge truss. Don't other critical resources get shipped along the Mississippi River like coke, coal, petroleum products, etc?

He cant call it a crisis because he helped create it. He shut down the construction of the pipeline for one. And if they admit this was an attack on the United States he would be forced to respond and odds are good this cyber attack was from Iran.

Odds are good this is a cyber attack from inside the Jao Baiden administration.

This is as much an inside job as 9/11.

How do I know, you ask? The same way I know that 9/11 was an inside job.

I would assume the hack is from Elon Musk. Make the garbage cars he produces seem more attractive. And perhaps take the attention off them currently being investigated by the NTSB.

He's been doing some very weird things lately too. SNL and basically crashing Dogecoin with his super odd statements/ "acting". I think he's about as insane as Bill Gates...or worse.

Or it could be OPEC. Keep those prices sky high. Either way I doubt any of this is "just a hacker".

Looks like some good news...

Secretary of Energy - Twitter Account

"We just got off the phone with #ColonialPipeline CEO. They are restarting pipeline operations today at ~5pm. More soon."

I wonder how they got control back from the hackers. Did they pay up?

a reply to: Sparkymedic

Ummm... that's a big damn story in itself. I'm familiar with that bridge. I-40 is the main crossing for commerce in the area. I-55 is an alternative, but it is also a narrow, winding section of Interstate with 13'-6" clearances throughout... which means oversized loads are a serious no-no. They simply won't fit.

As for river traffic, yes, that's an outlet from Texas/Louisiana to the Midwest for oil products, and a major route for grain back south. That means the Texas/Louisiana oil fields now have very limited ways to export their oil. The pipeline outage is stopping flow to the South while the I-40 bridge is stopping oil flow to the Northeast and Midwest.

And if memory serves, didn't Biden just shut down all permits on the pipelines from Canada to the Midwest?

And, again if memory serves, didn't Donald Trump warn us about infrastructure needing attention?

So now we have the main pipeline from the oil belt to the Southeast down, the major artery from the oil belt to the Northeast/Midwest closed for an indefinite period, a major east-west artery closed to all oversized loads and the alternate route hopelessly clogged, and food shipments from the Midwest losing one of their main arteries. But hey, Twitter is a much nicer place.

Buckle up, folks, and please keep hands and feet inside the car while it is moving. Gonna be a bumpy ride.

Yeah, they are talking months rather than weeks on the I-40 repair. It could get difficult for many things -- some expected, and some not realized until they manifest.

a reply to: TheRedneck

I just got home after topping off my tank in my little town. I've got some driving to do for my work the next couple weeks, so I need to keep it filled up. No lines at all here in Southern Illinois, but the price for regular jumped .20 cents today. That stinks. Stop going up!

Edit to add:
It went up to $3.19 a gallon.

a reply to: TrulyColorBlind

Yeah, even if the supply is reestablished quickly, the price hikes may very well continue and those will have more impact than a short-term glitch. This machine is not held together with any integrity. Anything could trigger major problems.

" Pipeline Inspector Calls In To The Alex Jones Show: “It’s 100% A Manufactured Collapse” "


“You’re 100 percent right,” says the caller, who claims he’s surveyed the Colonial Pipeline in the past.

“I’ve spent 15 years working in the oil and gas industry and also the energy industry, I just finished working 10 months in California and I’ve seen what they’re doing there, and it’s 100 percent a manufactured collapse.”

“If they wanted this thing going they would send guys out and open the valves up and get gas flowing tomorrow. They don’t need the electrical instrumentation to do that. So this is 100 percent a manufactured crisis. They’re trying to collapse the country.”

They are Playing the American Public Yet AGAIN..............

I live in the Rio Grande Valley, and yesterday evening, folks were already making runs on the pumps. By this morning on the way in to work, I stopped by 3 stores attempting to top off my tank, and fill a gas can for my generator (bad storm last night, power out 18 hrs), and all pumps were closed.
This afternoon, tankers were delivering as normal, and people started making gas runs again. Being this is a border area, it's worse in many ways. The locals panic, and wipe out tanks on a rumor, and Mexican nationals join in, causing a locust effect of devouring everything in site.
The only shortage of fuel here is due to plain panic and greed, spanning two countries.

Especially since the Russians are supposed to have done it ... I thought the left (Biden admin) spent the last 4 years finding RUSSIANS everywhere and now they do something and it's not their problem.

But you know what it is- gas is evil.

I told everyone that Biden's new law wasn't targeting Russian hackers/criminals. If they were they would have gotten involved instead of claiming "it is the problem of U.S. companies..."

Executive Order on Blocking Property with Respect to Specified Harmful Foreign Activities of the Government of the Russian Federation

April 15, 2021 • Presidential Actions

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) (NEA), section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (8 U.S.C. 1182(f)), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code,
I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, find that specified harmful foreign activities of the Government of the Russian Federation — in particular, efforts to undermine the conduct of free and fair democratic elections and democratic institutions in the United States and its allies and partners; to engage in and facilitate malicious cyber-enabled activities against the United States and its allies and partners; to foster and use transnational corruption to influence foreign governments; to pursue extraterritorial activities targeting dissidents or journalists; to undermine security in countries and regions important to United States national security; and to violate well-established principles of international law, including respect for the territorial integrity of states — constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States. I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat.

Accordingly, I hereby order:
Section 1. All property and interests in property that are in the United States, that hereafter come within the United States, or that are or hereafter come within the possession or control of any United States person of the following persons are blocked and may not be transferred, paid, exported, withdrawn, or otherwise dealt in:
(a) any person determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, and, with respect to subsection (a)(ii) of this section, in consultation with the Attorney General, or by the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, and, with respect to subsection (a)(ii) of this section, in consultation with the Attorney General:
(i) to operate or have operated in the technology sector or the defense and related materiel sector of the Russian Federation economy, or any other sector of the Russian Federation economy as may be determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State;
(ii) to be responsible for or complicit in, or to have directly or indirectly engaged or attempted to engage in, any of the following for or on behalf of, or for the benefit of, directly or indirectly, the Government of the Russian Federation:
(A) malicious cyber-enabled activities;
(B) interference in a United States or other foreign government election;
(C) actions or policies that undermine democratic processes or institutions in the United States or abroad;
(D) transnational corruption;
...

Executive Order on Blocking Property with Respect to Specified Harmful Foreign Activities of the Government of the Russian Federation

So, now can you guys see that this new law is not really targeting Russian criminals/spies? Whom else could this law target then?

(B) interference in a United States or other foreign government election;

Remember the CCP loyalist democrat leaders have been claiming that Americans whom question the 2020 election are aiding Russia, are insurrectionists, terrorists, etc...

For over 4 years even the mainstream media was claiming that Trump supporters/those Americans whom voted for Trump are mostly Russian bots..."

How dare you fill up your gas cans and prepare for disaster, now I won't be able to get gas because of you! Quit hoarding it!

J/K! Sorry i had to do the leftist lash out about people preparing ahead of time, sort of like the toilet paper crap we had to go through last year. Yes, i talked to many who didn't prepare and some people had no food, so yeah i am for preparation! Good on you for thinking ahead, this could be why my husband ran out and filled up specific gas cans as well.

Well...I like to drive emy golf cart around a good bit and I am not a fan of the East Cobb crowd stealing my gas on their way to the highway...LOL!
