I suspect Deep State for sure. And the truth will never be uncovered.

They are planning to take down this country in every way imaginable.

Sooo, we solve the problems of too much centralization by increasing the centralization? Real smart.

I smell a rat too. This seems too convenient that a major gas & oil pipeline gets hacked when the House of Ill Reps is trying to shove HR 1 and the Infrastructure bill through Congress. the only fishy thing that the Feds didn't come to the rescue. The blame game on Russia is a political ploy for the upcoming meeting between Putin and Biden. I'm that will be kept secret. Watching recent Youtube videos on Putin answering questions from reporters, he will embarrass and make a fool out of Biden. Putin is a Purana in the pool Biden is trying to swim in.

But of course we have to make the best of our lives, but just not expend a lot of effort to change the direction of things. It’s more lijke hiding in plain sight

Hmmm, you are onto something...

He is not done yet. The Best is yet to come!

Freedom, I agree with a lot of what you say. But Trump was no savior. When it came to the JFK files all he had to do was NOTHING. Instead he had large parts of it redacted. If we can’t drain the swamp of 60 years ago, how will we ever drain the swamp of today?

A very big reason why my primary computer is air gapped from the net. No wireless allowed. And it whines and cries everyday. OneDrive wants to connect so bad it hurts. No way in hell.

I, like you and others observe that this incident was on purpose but an interesting thing happened at the same time as the supposed hack. Right at that time, the earth received the x-ray remnants of a sunspot flair, the main flare was not supposed to reach earth, abet it was close; and the part of the earth that was affected was the southern region of the US!
Makes one go hmm.
We've seen this before, when occurrences like this were likely the results of a sun spot, CME or filament eruption...government always calls it a Hack!?!?...Although I don't think they are too bright and likely have no clue about the effects of these eruption from the sun.

The Colonial pipeline runs a couple of miles south of $5Au's abode. It connects to a regional tank farm. Tanker trucks roll up and down Pine Street in a near continuous stream to get their fill of this liquid gold. He sometimes spots a small plane flying security missions over the pipeline and storage facility. A guy in a dark room 5500 miles away presses a few keys and brings this to a halt. Suboptimal.

I agree for the most part. Sickening.

I have pretty much given up on our society. Its going to collapse itself from the lack of reason thats apparent everywhere now. We will fall like venezuela to be sure. AR was pretty accurate in how the society will go when she wrote AS. We could look to AS or venezuela to see how things will go.

The DNC farmed out the hit on Trump (the dossier, Russia collusion hoax, etc.) and then tried to move in the already corrupted FBI and other intelligence agencies to finish the kill. Contracting a hit on a pipeline system would be chump change compared to the coup they pulled off on a sitting president.

Hard to argue with that possibility, Arthgallo.

We know that foreign hackers get into other sites to do their dirty work to avoid being caught or blamed, Russians do it all the time making such incursions hard to trace. Knowing that many of the fanatical climate and environmental control freaks will do any thing and every thing to promote their destructive agenda why not shine the light in their direction, of course the President would scotch that immediately since it furthers his (their) goal for energy (in)dependence.

Could be. I wouldn't put anything past the Democrats at this point. They could have even contracted out the hit to a non-US firm to cover their involvement, like with Dominion.

I think it was not foreign. It advances the socialist agenda and who doesn’t love higher gas prices more than a socialist? AOC is thrilled.

I'll tell you a story about secure systems. And yes, the feral govt did have a part in it. I worked at MIT-Lincoln Lab and they had a Big Computer, an IBM 360. Yes, it was that long ago. The ARPANET was just beginning to be established, and although although that computer did have an ARPANET address, it was not connected to the net.

Furthermore, the computer had two modes of operation. During the daytime it ran in a remote-batch mode that was available to any LL scientists who needed computer time. At night it ran classified jobs. Shifting from unclassified worked like this, so I was told:

1. Shut down the daytime system and run the stand-alone program that clears the magnetic-core memory. Turn off the machine.
2. Remove the data cables that connect to outside the (Faraday shielded) computer room.
3. Remove all the unclassified magnetic tapes.
4. Bring in the tapes or punch-cards with the classified jobs to be run.
5. Power up the machine

There was more to it than that, of course, but the idea was that no data leakage was to occur. My security clearance did not allow me to know more about it.

At that time, early 1970s, security was taken seriously, for the most part. Another place I worked had a security officer who was one of the programmers. A snotty high-school student who worked there after school asked about the on-premises data safe. "Are there any classified materials in that safe?" "The answer to your question is NO," said the security officer. "You mean there's no classified material in it?" "The answer to your question is NO," he repeated. In other words, "You're not getting any information from me, no matter how you ask."

Agreed. I suspect the Chinese first, then the North Koreans.

America has only one choice left........

Libtards still think a colluding with Russia Orange Man Bad and Putin are two peas in a pod.

Me dino smells a rat too.

Assuming there is no real investigation and severe punishment for the 2020 election fraud, I agree.
Except for Trump's election in 2016, voting has been a waste of time since the 60's at least. Federal level candidates are selected by the deep state and only people that are controllable by the deep state are eligible. The People have had no voice in decades, with one exception - Trump. That is why the deep state was willing to anything to prevent Trump's re-election. Since they control the judiciary, I don't anticipate any real investigation or punishment for the traitors unless the military takes action as they often do in other banana republics.
Buy-dem is a treasonous charlatan.

This is one time that you could claim Russian interference, and of course, ... crickets.

I have no confidence we can ever trust elections again.
