No one with any brain at all trusts the FBII(federal bureau of illegal investigators).
The “dark side hacker”=JoeBama regime member

“Find out who the hackers are and publicly execute them.”

Take a hammer and smash their fingers to bloody pulp. Put a crimp on their typing style.

Seal teams, CIA assets need to be deployed to kill them

Seal Teams good; CIA Bad.

CIA is cabal. CIA is Deep State. Think Clowns In America. Think ChInA.

Can't spell China without CIA.

"...Shut down the pipeline as a cover for the massive price increase they know is coming..."

At some point in my life, I would have said something like "Oh, come on. Really?"

At some point in my life, I would have opened my door to the FBI and invited them in, served them coffee, and asked them what they needed.

Now, I would demand to speak to my lawyer before inviting them in or meeting with them, no matter how small or insignificant the issue.

And I have long since viewed the FBI as a political entity beholden to Leftists, same as the intelligence services, and same as the Media.

It is perfectly within the normal scope of the FBI's operations now to act as an arm of the Democrat Party. It has been my observation for years that a Leftist of any stripe or profession is a Leftist before they are anything else:

“Call me a conspiracy theorist but”

It does come at a very convenient time for those who want to ban hydrocarbons. Just like covid appearing and riots happening, and the vaccine announced right after the election. All perfectly timed. Happy coincidences.

Are we certain that the FBI themselves are not the DarkSide??????

To a high degree of certainty.

DarkSide would be "unauthorized competition" for the current rulers. You can bet that the FBI has been directed to go after them with hammer and tongs.

The problem is that they are probably based in a foreign country which benefits from the attack, and they have kept up the correct bribery payments to their local government officials.

The FBI will provide a show for the public. The final settlement of this problem, if there is one, will be provided by other agencies.

"I am wondering if we are witnessing contrived supply-change disruptions....this to me is no different than jamming a tanker in the Suez Canal for a week."

Good thought. It is difficult to impossible to believe anybody, but the Left wants high pertroleum prices and shortages so it easy to think that our fingers are in this somewhere with a cutout to make it impossible to trace back..

Usually caused by people who illegally download software using “torrents”. Software is installed, and waits until commanded to act on a single workstation or network.

Call me a conspiracy theorist but, I cant help but think this hacking and the reported tanker truck driver shortages are just the media covering this administration for the upcoming gas price explosion.

Conspiracy theorist: one who questions the statements of known liars.

BTW: the big 3 are the stock market(must keep it up until the rug is pulled), energy(read oil/gas/fuel) prices must stay up to keep the market up, and the dollar must stay weak(it goes up, market goes down. The “transitory inflation” will be falsely blamed on oil/energy prices going up so the price of oil/energy must be kept up and pushed higher for that also. We both know where the Stagflation is coming from when we’ve seen trillions poofed out of thin air and see charts of money velocity at a bottom.

Certainly a good cover for spiking gas prices under Biden.

"We aren't responsible! Trump left our nation's cyber defenses wide open, and his Russian friends hacked in. Perhaps he's even making money from it! Traitor!"

The CIA/FBI/NSA has a recent history of using Star Wars based terms for their various hacking tools (i.e "BothanSpy" ).

Of course this is also common to geekdom in general, but my "Spidey-Sense" is tingling over this one, especially after recent the news about a Federal Judge issuing an order allowing the FBI to alter private MS Exchange servers without notice.

However with all that said, its beyond idiotic to have mission critical systems which control physical assets running Windows while networked (private or otherwise).

Send in the new “woke” CIA?

“Bob, we have a cyber attack on a key NorthEast pipeline. Who should we put on the case?”

“We’ve got Brenda.”

“What’s her expertise?”

“She’s bi, triggered by the color orange, has an eating disorder, and she still suffers from TDS.”

“Sounds good. Put her on the case.”

Would anyone believe any government agency's report on this?

Two white individuals with MAGA hats were seen near a computer terminal...

“Hard to trust them anymore.”

Hell, they are probably behind it somehow or another.

Thank goodness it wasn’t white suprema-cysts, You know. The REAL threat to the country.

Ahhh, but they're russians so they're white therefore it's obviously white supremacists again.

The only thing that will fix this is for BLM to burn down another city and a massive increase in welfare payments for the black community.
