This article argues that the reported ransomware attack on Colonial Pipeline and the resulting gas shortages are a fabricated event designed to drive up prices and justify increased spending on “critical infrastructure.” The author, Miles Mathis, asserts that this incident is similar to past manufactured shortages, such as the Texas power outages and the increase in lumber prices. He claims that the companies involved and the government are colluding to scam the public, with no genuine oversight or prosecution. The author suggests that the narrative of “critical infrastructure fragility” is a ploy to secure more taxpayer money for the military and other entities. He concludes by recommending bicycles as a personal solution to dependence on “thieves” and hints at a possible CIA involvement in the Colonial Pipeline incident, a claim later echoed by cybersecurity billionaire Natalya Kaspersky and reported by RT. The author also notes that returning to paper systems, as suggested by Trump, could resolve computer vulnerabilities.
