Sometimes governments do very stupid things. Take for instance the United States and its’ genius European allies. They cut off their own energy supplies. Europe is in crisis mode. So, they send tons of weapons and ammo to Ukraine, impoverishing themselves in the process. And they do it in such a way that poses an existential threat to Russia. They should know that the Russians will not allow themselves to be beaten with conventional weapons. They will turn to tactical nukes….possibly strategic ones. And now it turns out we have confirmation that it was the US along with NATO and Norway that took out the Nordstream Pipelines. Award winning journalist Seymour Hersh broke the story with details. I’ll be detailing some of it. But here’s the link. This could make war with Russia inevitable!
His title: “How America Took Out The Nord Stream Pipeline.” “Last June, the Navy divers, operating under the cover of a widely publicized mid-summer NATO exercise known as BALTOPS 22, planted the remotely triggered explosives that, three months later, destroyed three of the four Nord Stream pipelines, according to a source with direct knowledge of the operational planning. Two of the pipelines, which were known collectively as Nord Stream 1, had been providing Germany and much of Western Europe with cheap Russian natural gas for more than a decade. A second pair of pipelines, called Nord Stream 2, had been built but were not yet operational.”
Of course, official Washington immediately denied these claims. A White House spokesman said, “This is false and complete fiction.” And the CIA spokesperson retorted, “This claim is completely and utterly false.” And Hersh revealed: “For much of that time, the issue was not whether to do the mission, but how to get it done with no overt clue as to who was responsible. President Biden and his foreign policy team—National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, Secretary of State Tony Blinken, and Victoria Nuland, the Undersecretary of State for Policy—had been vocal and consistent in their hostility to the two pipelines…. From its earliest days, Nord Stream 1 was seen by Washington and its anti-Russian NATO partners as a threat to western dominance.”
To Washington this was a political equation. “Gazprom’s profits were shared with the Russian government, and state gas and oil revenues were estimated in some years to amount to as much as 45 percent of Russia’s annual budget. America’s political fears were real: Putin would now have an additional and much-needed major source of income, and Germany and the rest of Western Europe would become addicted to low-cost natural gas supplied by Russia—while diminishing European reliance on America.”
Here’s how the operation went. “On September 26, 2022, a Norwegian Navy P8 surveillance plane made a seemingly routine flight and dropped a sonar buoy. The signal spread underwater, initially to Nord Stream 2 and then on to Nord Stream 1. A few hours later, the high-powered C4 explosives were triggered and three of the four pipelines were put out of commission. Within a few minutes, pools of methane gas that remained in the shuttered pipelines could be seen spreading on the water’s surface and the world learned that something irreversible had taken place.”
The response was of the Western media was both illogical and disingenuous. “In the immediate aftermath of the pipeline bombing, the American media treated it like an unsolved mystery. Russia was repeatedly cited as a likely culprit, spurred on by calculated leaks from the White House—but without ever establishing a clear motive for such an act of self-sabotage, beyond simple retribution. A few months later, when it emerged that Russian authorities had been quietly getting estimates for the cost to repair the pipelines, the New York Times described the news as ‘complicating theories about who was behind’ the attack.”[i]
There never was a motive to sabotage its’ own pipeline. From the beginning it was America that stood to gain the most from the pipeline’s destruction. Immediately upon blowing up the US started shipping liquid natural gas to Europe.
“And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.” (Matthew 24:4-8)
