If one was conspiracy minded…. A major gasoline pipeline is shutdown due to an unknown computer hack. Two days later, the Mississippi River (I-40) is closed to cargo barges after a major bridge fracture is discovered. And now yesterday:
Train In Iowa Carrying Hazardous Materials Derails and Catches Fire
(Via Reuters) – “A Union Pacific train hauling hazardous materials derailed and then caught fire in the city of Sibley, Iowa, authorities said on Sunday, leading to the evacuation of dozens of people although there were no reports of injuries or fatalities.
The derailment, involving 47 rail cars, took place in the afternoon in Sibley, Union Pacific said, adding the cause of the incident was under investigation.
Within an hour, local officials texted an evacuation order to people nearby. An area comprising about a 5-mile radius around the scene of the derailment was evacuated as a precaution, according to ABC News.” […] “Ken Huls, the fire chief in Sibley, said the train was carrying fertilizer and ammonium, the radio station KIWA reported.” (more)
Gas pipeline compromised….
Mississippi waterway compromised….
Midwest railroad line compromised….
JoeBama pushing massive leftist spending initiative under the auspices of an “infrastructure plan“…
No worries. It’s probably just a dry run
Vulnerability Signalling doesn’t do dry runs.
Every Menace Counts.
Pretty much anything happening in these times in NOT coincidence.
Evil’s afoot
I don’t believe in coincidences.
4th generation warfare. It’s being and been used against the American people for quite awhile now. I think things are going to get rocky from here on. Buckle your seatbelts and make sure your prep stash is updated.
I was thinking/hoping it was the Rebel Resistance Alliance putting sand in the machine………………..all these things makes me pine for P Trump even more.
But i guess that stuff only happens in movies.
Also river tow boats aren’t tied into the net to navigate and they have hit bridges a few times before. They are large and unwieldy and the currents are real strong down around Memphis.
I believe these are separate, “unrelated” events (i40, River, gas pipeline), the circumstances around which, and time proximity of, are suspiciously coincidental.
Also, Iowa is in fact on the Miss River, about 2,320 miles of shoreline, actually.
The common theme “unrelated” seems to be what relates them.
It’s safe to recommend: Suspicious cat should continue suspicions until further notice.
Yes, I know Iowa borders the Mississippi River but Sibley, Iowa ain’t among that 2,320 miles of shoreline that you speak of. It is on the other side of the state near Nebraska.
The pipeline was a malicious plot that reaped the bad guys a cool five mil in Danegeld.
As for I-40 and the river bridge as I said that is down at Memphis, TN. River tow boats have hit river bridges up and down the river, ever since bridges crossed the river and tow boats have operated on the river. You don’t need a malicious plot there, only simple human incompetence.

What “connects” these seemingly “unrelated” events is their proximity in time.
You aren’t seeing a connection claimed here between one or more of these events, and, say, a plane crash, or train wreck, bridge-collision (etc) 10-years ago. Right?
It’s the proximity in time that matters.
A lot of “bad for the infrastructure and the economy” things are happening recently, in close proximity time-wise.
Might be a “statistical anomaly”; but the wise owl sees these events happening closely together and has to ponder if there is more to it than that. Certainly bears keeping an eye on.
Maybe you disagree – but you are at least astute enough to realize that that is what has people raising eyebrows, no?
Could the bad guys be FIB contractors? Suspicious Cat says “quite likely”
I believe the relationship being suggested is that they all plant the seed of “our infrastructure is falling apart”. What’s left to get the point across? Electrical outages? Oops. That one was covered during the cold snap this winter. Maybe a bridge collapse? Whatever they come up with, it will magically stop when Big Infrastructure* passes (* plus the Kennedy Center, Planned Parenthood and Universities are bloated with campaign cash for 2022.)
Kong Suz (Confucious): Harsh government is fiercer than tigers. They not help people they create crisis.
what you don’t hear about is there was another train derailment yesterday about 100 miles east by albert lea minnesota.this one was in a wetlands.
You’ve just stated why I don’t believe in coincidences.
NOT an accident. UP mainline is maintained to perfection. Possible railcar issue but I really doubt it.
MORE infrastructure occurrences? WOW. What’s next. We have pipeline, followed by I-40 bridge. Now rail?
Airplanes? What’s the next infrastructure failure to occur…my, my, my….how these just pop up after 4Y!
The fake news has recently been talking about EMP’s and our Electric Grid …..
After decades of relentlessly ignoring the threat and demonizing those aware of our vulnerability.
I just saw a story, sorry I can’t remember where, today, that they may have to start weighing people and their carry ons because they are using outdated figures and people are fatter now basically was the jest of it. So claiming plane safety this is their plan, so there’s your airplane.
Elon will out those Antique ARROGANT Industries out of Business. Tele-port not Air-port
The boring company will dirt-port cargo safely … Elon learned how-to from the Cartel boring under our border … and from the Palestinians boring under Israel’s border wall
It is said that the average person gained 15 pounds or more during Covid.
Uh oh! The Dems have claimed that childcare is “infrastructure” … I pray for the children’s safety …
A large scale electrical outage lasting at least 2 weeks?
Let me just say this—
Ain’t no way I would be flying anywhere….
It’s like..ok…so what’s next……
Nope…nada….no way!
I looked at the re-count numbers and out of 5 re-counts, only one detail came up with the same number.
And that was only once out of the 5 times they counted it.
another thing.yesterday before i saw the local news on this derailment they were reporting that the rail lines bnsf,union pacific have cut staff by 20% since 2017 and increased the length of trains.so they throw the cover that staff was cut and then woah looky here a derailment oh wait 2 within 100 mies and on same day.
Most every train likely carries something called “hazardous materials”. The derailing is an issue, the freight likely isn’t.
Structures are inspected regularly, or should be. These will turn up deficiencies as a matter of course. I’ve executed a fair number of structural inspections, and normally low priority deficiencies are put on a watch list, as they don’t rate emergency or perhaps not even routine maintenance. The deficiency in the bridge over the Mississippi could have previously appeared on inspection report(s) and may now have been bumped up in priority. I’d be surprised to see an emergency type deficiency suddenly crop up in such a structure in normal service, but it’s possible of course. People are likely gunshy, and should be following that bridge failure in Minnesota 10+ years ago (OPINION: State of MN DoT budget and political types and senior dept engineering failed here, but they blamed the long dead original designer, which I found disappointing, no accountability).
I’d really like to see that alleged pipeline hack publicly investigated, and an honest report produced.
Ars Technica has a rather solid piece that breaks down the ransomware breach. attribution is of course speculative.
I drove for MKT for years…
For freight cars to pile up like that, the Engineer had to be going like a bat outta hell…
I literally had this happen in my back 40 yrs ago. Came over the hill looking down on my house and the train wreck only to find my then wife taking pictures!
Told her if that ever happens again grab the dogs and get the heck outta there!!
Biden is destroying US Steel after President Trump saved the industry.
The Uni-Party Infrastructure Deal will be built – no doubt- with China Steel. How Weak!
Hyman Roth said Biden is bigger than U.S. Steel!
The current regime is determined to rip our country apart. These occurrences, all happening now, are not coincidences. CIA operatives, Soros, many Deep Staters are planning and implementing these disasters.
Economic disaster, chaos, extreme fear widespread among the population is part of Cloward-Piven plan for eventual Communism. The masses will eventually beg for a savior. The Government has to step in as “Savior” to take over control of everything. For the ‘good of the people’. Hopefully these audits will uncover how evil these devils have been in ‘destroying our faith in honest voting’. We need MAGA more than ever.
Joke Biden has no intent for rail funding except passenger rail. The solyndra Syndrome.
Pipeline was hacked. Trains derail all the time without “hacking”.
News wouldn’t be as interesting with Suspicious Cat.
What did the photographer have to do to get that Cat to make that expression?
Just have his or her camera ready, my cat makes those faces all the time, tricky part is capturing the shot.
Thats a bottle neck for U.P. rail.

OVER 90% of the gas stations in D.C. are out of gas. meanwhile, in the surrounding areas of virginia and maryland, there is little to no problem finding gas. HHHHMMMMM…..wonder if SOMEONE is sending a message …..
Summer of Fire is on the way.
HBCU’s get a magical windfall for ‘infrastructure’.
More free money $3000-3600/ yr to families with kids under 17.
And to think that not so very long ago some people were Never Trumpers.
I miss 45.
Suspicious Cat is always right.
No, the train wreck in Sibley is not going to disrupt much of anything. UP had contractors on the way to the scene before the fire quit burning. I would say that they’ll have that railroad open by noon tomorrow if not sooner. Drag the damaged and destroyed cars off to one side and rebuild the tracks. A simple job and one that will be finished quickly. No major disruption here.
Well I sure wouldn’t want to have to clean the wreck up or pay for it! Not exactly like one can sweep those RR cars, contents, iron rails & debris into a dustpan!
How does a cracked bridge stopping road traffic get translated in this thesis to closing the river to “cargo barges”or traffic on the “Mississippi waterway”?
The bridge handled vehicular traffic on a road. Seems like a stretch of reality.
Read the news. They shut down the river traffic due to the compromised bridge.
Read the links. They shut down the river to barge traffic.
And that is a big deal!
Interfering with supply chain.
I am not sure if conspiracy or neglect is the culprit from enormous conglomerated companies usually owned by globalist interests attempting to squeeze every penny out of their holdings then dump them and in so doing neglecting every possible maintenance issue to keep their costs low. In so doing they endanger the entire enterprise and general public as well.
One thing is for sure. Resident Biden is really effin up our country.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but Rail Road tracks are maintained by the company of ownership. I don’t see a connection of Rail Roads and a spending bill that citizens are responsible for.
The NARRATIVE is that our infrastructure is cumbling in many ways – ergo we gotta save the country. These events relate to transportation of goods via infrastructure. Cybersecurity ‘infrastructure’ is what Joey Gagoots referenced for the pipeline job. Bridges & Roads and Rail are key to delivering goods. Interrupt these pathways and ppl clamor – save us Joe – no matter the cost – heck even share a few $ with HBCU’s its cool. Just save us. The timing and the nature of these events awoke Suspicious Cat. Deal.
Whether the derailing or bridge broke completely by accident, you can bet the left will highlight them as if our world is crumbling around us.
I’m old enough to remember when every leftist in the nation was bleating like sheep about our crumbling infrastructure when Bill Clinton was first running. Most didn’t have a damn clue what infrastructure meant, but they knew it was crumbling.
Same happened with Obama. It’s a tried and true method of funneling billions, with a few bucks going towards fixing stuff a politician can put his name on.
I have a strong suspicion certain investors in rail companies will be begging to be included in any spending bill, much like Buffett when he wanted his railroad hauling oil fixed. Obama and the left were happy to not only help with that, they helped with delaying the Keystone pipeline for years so Buffett’s railroad would make money.
How does it work? Read this.
https://reason.com/2012/02/09/warren-buffett-baptist-and-bootlegger/
Global Warming caused the steel on the bridge to expand too much which eventually led it to breaking, naturally!
Obama said ‘shovel ready’ was a savior. Giggle, snort, giggle snort. The pricks are at it again.
Fair point, and one I neglected in my post elsewhere.
Different events.
“If one was conspiracy minded….” — Suspicious cat indeed…
A good rule of thumb for Americans and the world…
Keep one eye on whatever catastrophic events are plastered on the news to distract us.
And keep your other eye on the audits and what the audits are uncovering.
Don’t forget to also keep an eye out for the numerous breaking stories on UFO’s!
Absolutely… I commented on Tucker’s UFO segment last week.
Watch , when one sees the “right hand” doing a lot of attention getting……….the left hand is manipulating while out of sight.
unseen …wagging some tails…?
[ … and the simultaneous sound of crickets regarding the truth being rounded up (election data) for eventual public awareness,
w/c the tail waggers are going to continue to try to obfuscate (of various types tactics, misframed as something else ) … ]
I do not know
imho
… the truth is marching on …
(it is not easy, but worthwhile…for many, MANY people… election integrity is important (and not the pretend type).. )
These are the kinds of events that happen in third world holes. Don’t look now, we’ll be there completely in about 2 weeks.
Okay, is there a probability expert on tap? What are the odds this would happen by chance?
I am a reliability engineer. Prob and stat go with the business. To answer your question, The probability is a large value of zero.
Would the current administration be willing to kill people and damage the environment to distract from one of their acts of corruption?
You don’t recall the Gold King Mine spill here in Colorado? Gina McCarthy was the EPA flunky in the Obama cabal that was responsible for that.
She now works for Biden. As a “Climate Advisor”.
https://denver.cbslocal.com/tag/gold-king-mine/
Silly question.
YES
All capable of transporting fuel? Could the intent be to cause fuel shortage or to extend an existing fuel shortage into new areas. Is this and act of Wall Street against Main Street?
Gas pipeline compromised….
Mississippi waterway compromised….
Midwest railroad line compromised….
Physical Narrative Engineering and Vulnerability Signalling.
Listen well, all y’all.
Biden’s administration creates infrastructure problems. Now, will pop on TV to address the infrastructure issue by printing off a few billion more? Hero emerges
This, these accidents, reminds me so much of “Atlas Shrugged”. So who is the the current John Galt?
The reason for the evac in Sibley is Anhydrous Ammonia, not Ammonium. I deliver NH3 (the chemical wording for Anhydrous Ammonia, a common fertilizer used here in Iowa and other farming regions) most of the year, and it’s listed on the HazMat table as an “inhalation hazard”. Just the slightest whiff will burn your nose and throat and take your breath away, get stuck in a cloud of it you will suffocate and die rather quickly. The 5 mile radius is commonly used for NH3 emergency situations, as that’s the average distance for a cloud to dissipate to a non-lethal density.
I wondered about that. NH3 is some evil, evil stuff. It never caught on in northern Wisconsin due to cold weather and different soil type. I don’t miss it. It absorbs water instantly and will cause severe eye damage in seconds.
FWIW: Ammonium Nitrate will not explode unless soaked in diesel fuel and denoted with dynamite and a blasting cap. Not very powerful by the pound but a pound is very cheap.
And there have been multiple arson fires in CA this past week
Kinda ironic, the train derailed was UP, Union Pacific, commissioned by Abraham Lincoln and begun in Omaha, Nebraska (it was actually Council Bluffs, Iowa imo).
Isn’t Warren Buffet in Omaha?
Amazing coincidences.
Glad the derailment was in a very small town, pop ~2500.
Drone footage from 2019 showed bridge crack. Just saying.
This is all so Atlas Shrugged.
Before you put your tin foil hats on, this was a low priority train on one of UP’s secondary lines.
47 Cars…always 11, and if you look closely, you can see the Derailed Cars Spell “INFRASTRUCTURE”
No, actually, the wrecked rail cars spell out “I buried Paul.”
There are no coincidences in a conspiracy…
We’re so far past theory that only the weak minded will accept the lies. That includes those “educated” that think they should be in charge.
That picture is the perfect metaphor for His Fraudulency II’s installed regime. A complete hazardous trainwreck.
I see you beat me to it.
Skimmed comments and did not see this :
This is the SECOND train derail in 24 hr timespan of each other.
135 miles East of Silby wreck , In Albert Lea Minn. a train derailed Saturday with cars leaking acid.
( Trains . com – May 16 )
Its just the FBI/CIA/NSA/Democrats attempting things to remove freedom. They were very successful with 9/11
Red State attacks. I’ve felt our loose immigration policies led to things like this happening. Once the evil American haters get the signal to light us up, this is what happens. It will sadly, continue.
The only President to have come up with a plan to staunch the flow is President Donald J. Trump.
That picture makes an excellent ‘metaphor’ from the Biden Inc. Administration.
