Between AstroWorld, the phony Russia dossier falling apart, and the Rittenhouse trial the Biden admins potential closure of the L5 Pipeline has been largely missed by the public. What is L5, why shut it down, and why does it matter? Lets look...

Line 5 is a 645-mile, 30-inch diameter pipeline that transports up to 22.68 million gallons, or 540,000 barrels per day, of light crude oil, light synthetic crude, and natural gas liquids through Michigan’s Upper and Lower Peninsulas.

The pipeline supplies approximately 65% of propane demand in the Upper Peninsula and 55% of Michigan's statewide propane needs.

State Republican Congressmen Tim Walberg, MI-07; Bob Latta, OH-05; Jack Bergman, MI-01, and 10 other House members argued that Line 5 is "essential to the lifeblood of the Midwest."

Should L5 be shut down, tens of thousands of jobs would be lost across the region; billions of dollars in economy activity would be in jeopardy; and as we enter winter and temperatures drop, the termination of Line 5 would exacerbate shortages and price increases in home heating

Americans are already facing rapidly rising energy prices, steep home heating costs, global supply shortages, and skyrocketing gas prices. This move would send regional prices THROUGH THE ROOF and increase prices of fuel and goods across the rest of the nation in all sectors.

If the Line 5 pipeline were shut down refinery customers in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Ontario and Quebec would see a shortage of gas, diesel and jet fuel of about 14.7 million gallons per day, or about 45% of current supply.

Michigan alone would face a propane supply shortage of 756,000 gallons per day and would have to find an alternative supply for anywhere from 4.2 million to 7.77 million US gallons of refined products a day.

So, why would a government do this to its own people and economy? What is the Biden Admins reason?

Hiding behind tribal rights and faux "environmental concerns" the admin wants to shift the energy sector away from traditional sources and to Green energy.

The plan is to create the conditions that then require massive government intervention and investment to fix. If they can create an energy crisis, but have cover for their actions that are attributable to tribal justice and environmental concerns,...

they believe they can come out on the other side as the good guys who not only fixed the crisis, but saved the planet, respected the ancient tribal folks and thus saved the day completely.

While the people of these states freeze over a cold winter and struggle further to get by as prices on all goods climb, it'll be a massive win for the admin so long as media reports on it in lockstep with the appropriate talking points. And unexpectedly they will.

Biden will have "built back better", the Green New Deal and Globalist policy will have been further entrenched into our system, and those blue collar folks suffering will have been nothing more than angry white Trumpists who hate everything Biden does.

Don't let the AstroWorlds, Biden sharting in front of the Pope or anything else cloud your view of the actual game being played. They're looking to make you very uncomfortable, and to make you suffer so that they can bring you their solution.

Be kind to your neighbors.
