Michigan Water Protector Closes Line 5 Shut Off Valve
According to a news release from the Resist Line 3 group, a "Michigan Water Protector" closed the shutoff valve on the 68-year-old Line 5 pipeline "in accordance with Gov. Whitmer's order." Duffy said the valve shutdown occurred on a Lower Peninsula segment of the pipeline, in rural Tuscola County, near Vassar:

Awesome security on ENB's behalf. The guitar guy is an accomplice, what a moron. His music can be used to break terrorists at Guantanamo, hope CIA is recruiting.

Well at least they think they did. Those are decoys. Those shut off valves do not work. "Enbridge does not anticipate any impact on oil and gas deliveries to customers from Line 5's temporary shutdown, and the pipeline is again operational, Duffy said."

Priceless. Why would pipelines have decoy shut off valves?

How can you shut down a pipline operating at full capacity and not have it impact deliveries to customers? Simple. It never shut down. Do you think they put shutoff valves unguarded where anyone can shutdown crucial infrastructure?
