BS on the spiked prices ....

They lose millions a minute when the pipelines are down. They'll be up before the suppliers notice a drop of inventory levels.

If prices spike it will be regional to the NE.

Scripps Corporation (Network of hospitals) in SoCal is being held by ransomware. The request dollar figures range from $50M in Bitcoin or $500M in cash to give them back their servers.

Not a chance it's that much - it's too much - they'd never get anywhere close to those amounts. These hackers know what's reasonable and what will get paid. I know of a well heeled pvt equity firm that got ransomed and paid and it wasn't even $1M.

I guarantee you this either gets swept under the rug or blamed on Trump.

By the way, has Twitter reinstated zero hedges Twitter account?

Read about this yesterday. Only have a quarter of a tank. Guess I'll go fill up today before it hits the network news tomorrow and Monday. Just in case.

This is how war will be fought. Through cyber attacks our nations enemies can shut the entire country down.

The US was only settled by Europeans after over 70% of the Indian population was killed off by disease. It won’t be much different next time. Experts estimate that an EMP could take out 80% of the US population within the first 3 weeks. That’s when the globalist come in and “save” what’s left of us and force everyone to live under the new regime

Saudis at it again, I guess prices aren’t high enough.

Call me dumb but why is this critical infrastructure online and vulnerable? It worked fine for decades without.

Starts where? Texas. Ask again why I am confident if Texas decides to secede we will succeed.
