We have Forever Wars about fake national defense — and Real National Security that we do nothing about — for instance, the Colonial Pipeline ransomware hack

11 May 2021

It keeps getting 'ridiculouser' and 'ridiculouser'

The following is one of many rewards for living in a Plutocracy run by stooges:

The Colonial Pipeline, which provides nearly half of the gasoline and fuels used on the East Coast, shut down all of its operations Friday after hackers broke into some of its networks. All four of its main lines remain offline.

The attack sparked fresh fears about the vulnerability of the U.S.'s energy infrastructure to cyberattacks and raised concerns about the supply and price of oil and gas.

The Department of Transportation issued an emergency declaration Sunday to allow truckers to drive between fuel distributors and local gas stations on more overtime hours and less sleep than federal restrictions normally allow in an effort to ramp up alternate ways to distribute oil and gas.

"We're prepared to take additional steps depending on how quickly the company is able to bring this pipeline back to full operational capacity," Biden said Monday. "My administration takes this very seriously."

Sure, Joe . . .

You took it just as seriously as Toddling Donny, Bumbling Brainsy (King of Hypocrites) and Lone Star Dubya did.

In truth — until something bad and totally foreseeable actually happens . . .

American Government sits on its highly paid ass and thinks of ways to screw the American public, instead.

How long have we been taking about . . .

. . . rickety, vulnerable American infrastructure?

Decades.

How much have we done to fix it?

Nothing.

Ever.

Fighting unnecessary Forever Wars — over pretend national security — is way more Plutocracy Profitable.

The moral? — US government's Oligarchy-controlled stooges are so preoccupied with making 'shit' up . . .

. . . and profiting therefrom, that they just cannot concern themselves with real national security.

You know, the true security that even a twelve year old could figure out:

Think about this, while you're waiting in line for East Coast gasoline, so that you can drive yourself to work or someone to the hospital.

Or when you're in California and you're wondering whether the power is going to stay on all day — or if, just as likely, summer wildfires are going to burn you up first.

This is America.

There's pride to be had (I'm told) in flaunting unambiguously self-destructive idiocy.
