The Federal Bureau of Intentional Lying (FBI-L) has claimed the Colonial Pipeline Network was compromised by a hack from Darkside Ransomware:
“The FBI confirms that the Darkside ransomware is responsible for the compromise of the Colonial Pipeline networks. We continue to work with the company and our government partners on the investigation.” (LINK)
When the state police tell us something prudence dictates we evaluate their motive against previous state police statements and make an independent decision. That’s the basis of not being a victim to professional lying. That said, which is more likely:
A) A random cyber-hack from a dubious eastern-European source, has compromised the refined fuel capacity in the United States?
~ OR…
B) The FBI, a political division -and state police- acting on behalf the U.S. intelligence community, are making this claim in order to provide cover for the Biden administration’s purposeful policies that are skyrocketing the price of fuel?
Well when EVERY institution in America is corrupt this is what you get.
A retard in the white house with Obamas hand up his ass pulling the strings.
Remember the reporting about a software for hacking that could make it look like someone else had done the hacking? If I recall, China was mentioned as using it and blaming it on Russia.

Just sayin.
Sundance, opinion without citation (addressing both postulates) is not something I’m used to reading with you. Honestly, this posting seemed like a “cast out some bait, and see what bites” type of post. I’m posting a response I read in an article from “Darkside” to the cyber ransom attack on the Colonial Pipeline Network. I find the dismissive response from Russia equally as troubling. If a cyber terrorist organization launched an attack on Russia from the United States, I believe our response would be much different…unless it was a plausibly deniable entity acting on behalf of the US government.

We all know this was a false flag by our Intel community. Sundance is just being tongue in cheek.
We may “all know”, but I’ve come to truly admire and respect Sundance laying it out for us in citation. We also all know there is a fine line between opinion and fact. If we pose opinion, no citation expected. Fact needs to be supported with detail. I believe it’s #9 in what’s expected in a posting for CTH.
I love this community, and only wish the best.
I don’t think anybody believes the government anymore. It doesn’t matter if it really was a hack. Nobody, left or right, believes it. Just like nobody believes Biden is a legitimate president. We all know the country is f**ked, and probably sold to China. The idiots lining up for the vaccine are either pure fools or they think getting the shot will keep them on the socialists’ good side. Like the shopkeepers who put up BLM signs in the hope that they wouldn’t get looted. It didn’t work then, it won’t work now. The globalists are communist collaborators. Their mission is to tear down the US so that China may rise up in its place.
Nobody I know trusts ANYTHING the “FBI-L” says anymore (or the DO “J”, for that matter). They are hopelessly compromised, cancerous political weapons good for nothing more than spewing lies and propaganda ( in concert with the MSM). I never dreamed I would ever live to see this level of disconnect between the government and the interests and well-being of it’s citizens.
No, they are good for persecuting the innocent and concealing the crimes of the guilty and politically approved. They are the NKVD of our new era. When do we “defund” them?
Every one agrees that the FBI is probably one of the most politically corrupt and mission incompetent law enforcement organizations in the free world. They have destroyed their brand and their credibility with their biased enforcement of the law.
The world knows that joe biden is an extremely weak president who is barley in control of his mental faculties; a professional politician who is not known as either a deep thinker or a critical thinker. He is without a single accomplishment in his fifty-years of political parasitism. He has no accomplishments in private industry as he has never worked outside of politics.
Every bad actor in the world – Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, and others – are going to begin, short of an actual war, a strategy of increased aggression against U.S. assets. Based on the success of the latest attack on our energy system, look for the bad actors to ally their technological resources and increase both the frequency and the severity of their attacks.
The biden administration and the FBI are wholly incapable of dealing with the oncoming barrage of attacks. The end game of these bad actors is to destroy the American economy. The question is: Who will be the first to do it? The Russia, Iran, China, North Korea coalition or the biden administration?
the biden administration
Isreal has told *biden to mind his own business follwoing his condemation of their response to the Islamic riots in Jersalem.
Wouldn’t it be refreshing if the DC fart in the wind really minded his own business, But he is too busy covering his blunders, mistakes and other assorted errors to pay heed.
On a side note on a recent article on just how anti-Israeli (and stupid) Alzheimer Joe is, it discussed the then “young” Delaware Senator about his trip to Egypt in 1973 where he met with officials before he met with then PM Golda Meir and told her “not to worry about the Egyptians…..they aren’t going to attack”………
He has been utterly wrong for 48 years!
Although I would not put this past them, in this case I do not think it was FIB. If FIB had done it they would have blamed it on Trump
Enjoy the Magic Eight Ball reference. Curiously enough when I consulted my Magic 8 Ball on election eve of both 2016 and 2020 with the question, Will Mr. / President Trump Win / Be Re-elected, the answer Both Times was “Without a Doubt.
Just sayin…
I am confused as to the status of the network. Has it been compromised or has it been taken down to prevent an alleged compromise?
