Say, how's that "investigation" biden ordered to find who blew up the North Sea pipelines going, eh? Wait...what?

As most of you have long-since forgotten, a decade or so ago Russia partnered with 4 European companies to build a 750-mile gas pipeline to bring natural gas--methane--from Russia to Germany, from which gas could be forwarded to other EU nations.

Even though it's called "a" pipeline, it actually consisted of two 50-inch-diameter lines side by side.  It's estimated to have cost roughly $20 Billion in current dollars, and it worked like a charm--meaning like every other pipeline: safely, quietly, efficiently, supplying Europe with clean, abundant, affordable energy for heat and making electricity.

It was so successful that 9 years later Russia partnered with the same 4 companies to build two more lines--again twin lines side by side, called Nord Stream 2.  They were completed, tested, filled with high-pressure gas (100 atmospheres or so) and ready to go into service.

But before that happened, someone blew up three of the four lines, releasing roughly half a million TONS of methane into the air.

Understandably, no one claimed responsibility, prompting lots of speculation as to who'd done it.

The biden regime immediately declared to the White House press corps--in the briefing room--that Russia had blown up its own pipeline.   And like the fawning, slobbering lackeys they are, every Mainstream Media outlet dutifully printed or broadcast that *without a single word of skepticism.*

For young readers:  Until Bill Clinton's election the press was very critical of government statements and actions, and prided itself on getting to the truth, and holding lying sons of bitches on government responsible.  But starting with Clinton that stopped.  

The media resumed their hostile role when G. W. Bush won, then once again became fawning sycophants when emperor Obozo ascended to the throne.  They turned hostile again with Trump, and are now back to fawning and slobbering over regime declarations.
 
Point is, the simply echo whatever the regime tells 'em.

So...the biden regime told you the Russians blew up their own pipeline (actually 3 of the 4 lines).  And almost all Americans believed it, because most Americans are too busy trying to raise kids and pay taxes and the house payment to have the time to spend on informing themselves.  Far easier to just shrug and believe the horseshit from the regime and the Mainstream Media, eh?

But three factors make it astronomically unlikely that Russia blew up its own lines.  One is that if Russia wanted to stop selling gas to Europe, all they had to do was flip a switch on their end and shut off the huge compressors that push the gas thru the lines.  Easy.  Zero cost.  No risk.  And most attractive of all: when they wanted to get back to selling gas, you don't have to re-build anything.  Just flip that same switch back on.

Now, most Americans know absolutely nothing about the tech details of pipelines--nor should you--so the overwhelming logic making what I just described above the FAR smarter, less costly choice if Russia wanted to stop selling gas to Europe wouldn't occur to most Americans--because you never knew it was possible.

A second huge factor is that selling gas to Europe accounted for a huge percentage of Russia's foreign export earnings--by some estimates up to 40%.  While it's true that Russia has been able to compensate for the loss of revenue by exporting much more gas to China and India, that result wasn't assured before the lines were sabotaged.  So for Russia to be the culprit it would have run the risk of killing much of its foreign-exchange earnings.

There's one more factor--every bit as persuasive as the two just noted--but I'll cite it later.

Now: Blowing up pipelines in 280 feet of water isn’t the sort of operation an ordinary terrorist organization could do.  Only a handful of divers have experience working in water 280 feet deep.  The number of such divers who are proficient with high explosives is miniscule.  

So the odds are that only 3 or 4 countries in the world would have personnel already trained to do this.  Russia, China and the U.S.  We've already shown why it would be dumb and costly for Russia to blow up its own pipelines--and yet that absurd tale is the official Narrative of the biden regime.  It's beyond ludicrous.

By huge contrast to Russia, the biden regime had a very strong motive for blowing up the pipelines. As biden's corrupt secretary of defense has literally said, the regime's goal in supplying arms to Ukraine is to weaken Russia.  Depriving Russia of export earnings would help do that.

Also, both the corrupt Victoria ("Tori"--ain't that cute?) Nuland and biden himself are on video declaring "If Russia invades we will put an end to Nord Stream."  After the sabotage Nuland said she was delighted.  So clearly, not only was the biden regime happy with the sabotage, biden and Nuland weren't shy about letting the world know they were happy.  Hmmm....

As most of you have forgotten, on February 8th of this year Seymour Hersh published a substack article claiming the CIA enlisted U.S. Navy divers to place the charges on the lines, using the cover of an annual NATO naval exercise in the Baltic to keep the surface support vessels from being noticed.  

The charges were attached in June.  Initially the plan was for the charges to be detonated by timer, but then some clever asshole at the White House decided that they could get "more control" if they put *acoustic receivers* on the charges, which would be triggered by a coded signal from a "sonobuoy."

"Control," see?  Makes pencil-neck dweebs feel *totally* in charge, eh?  Like real manly men.

Yeah.  But of course that would require some plane or ship to *drop* the sonobuoy, right?  How do ya propose to do that, bright boys?

"Don't worry about that, deplorable pilot!  We work in duh Wite Hous, so we *reeel smaht.*"

Spoiler: That will turn out to be a mistake.  But only a few of us detected it.

Hersh provided details of the options the regime considered, planning and execution.  It should have been one of the biggest news stories in many decades.  Yet a week after publication, instead of the Mainstream Media working to either confirm or expose the story, they simply reported it, including flat dismissals by the regime, and it vanished, giving way to the China Balloon story.

Six weeks later the biden regime was still blaming Russia, and the fawning, slobbering White House press corps was still refusing to question the regime's bullshit Narrative.

As more people around the world began to realize that the Narrative by the biden regime that Russia blew up its own revenue source--when it could have simply shut off the compressors--was utterly absurd, the CIA planners released Narrative #2, which claimed the lines had been blown up by five men and a woman on a chartered 50-foot sailboat.

The Narrative was published by a German weekly national newspaper, Die Zeit, on Mar. 7, 2023.

According to this new Narrative, the explosive charges were planted by just two "deep" divers and two assistants.  Interestingly, the Narrative includes the line that the group had "professionally-made fake passports," yet the identities of the crew are supposedly unknown.  You'd think the company that owned the charter boat would have at least the fake name of the client, eh?  But somehow this wasn't worth mentioning in the Narrative.

According to the Narrative, traces of explosives were supposedly found onboard.  "SEE, citizen?  Case closed, eh?  So stop trying to blame our wunnerful preznit, the scrupulously honest Joe!"

Skeptics think the new Narrative was a false-flag operation designed to divert suspicion from the biden regime.  You also need to know that the CIA routinely uses friendly assets to plant Narratives in both foreign and U.S. papers.

Let me close with the third piece of evidence that the hotshot "bright boys" infesting the biden regime blew up the lines--with either biden's or CIA plant John Kirby's approval:  If the biden regime *didn't* blow up the lines, a competent president (I know) would have made a big public show of tasking every U.S. intel agency to try to find out who did do it, eh?

There is no evidence that Biden has done that.  And why do you think he hasn't?  

Because his "bright boys" know they did it.  They enlisted the CIA to plan it.  But the CIA was the only intel agency involved.  So if biden were to task *all* intel agencies to find out who did it, there's a chance one of the other agencies would find out.  Best not to take the chance, eh?
