About that game that two can play. I think it is already being played out.
"Divers doing a ROUTINE maintenance check at the Converse Reservoir dam in Mobile, AL…
…just found an underwater IED!!!
Apparently a grenade-type bomb was sitting submerged at the bottom of a dam that holds an entire city’s DRINKING WATER.
It took FIVE agencies: the FBI, ALEA, the Sheriff, Mobile PD, and a maritime render-safe team, to pull it out and detonate it.
Someone put a BOMB in our water supply…
WHERE IS THE NATIONAL COVERAGE?!!!"

Some facts you might find interesting:
Although Saudi Aramco owns the Pt. Arthur Refinery complex, the largest in The U.S., it was the Valero Refinery (US), specifically, that got hit, March 2026.
The Chalmette Refinery is owned and operated by PBF Energy, who purchased the facility in 2015 from a joint venture between ExxonMobil and Petróleos de Venezuela S.A. May 2026 (I remember this purchase happened a year before I retired.)
The HF Sinclair Refinery in Tulsa is owned by H.F. Sinclair (US), headquartered in Dallas, TX.
Whomever is doing this is very targeted in their picks. I’ve been to Pt. Arthur and Chalmette and they were pretty secure in the day, but that was a couple of decades ago. I can’t speak to the Tulsa refinery re: security, but all of them have a Texas connection, and with Chalmette’s Venezuela addition, well…
I think someone on the inside was paid heavily to let the saboteurs inside, which is likely why we’re not getting details. (Primary thoughts without research on my part.)
