Listen to a reading of this article:
❖
The western political/media class has been dismissing as “conspiracy theories” all claims that the US is likely responsible for last month’s sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines, even while leveling the exact same accusations against Russia without ever using that term. Which probably says a lot about the way that label has been used over the years, if you think about it.
At a UN Security Council meeting on Friday, US envoy Richard Mills repeatedly accused Russia of promoting “conspiracy theories” in its Nord Stream accusations against the United States, saying that “our Russian colleagues have decided to instrumentalize the Security Council meeting to spread conspiracy theories and disinformation.”
“It’s important that we use this meeting not to foster conspiracy theories, but to focus our attention on Russia’s blatant violation of the Charter and its crimes in Ukraine,” Mills argues, after saying that “the United States categorically denies any involvement in this incident” and that there is no justification for “the Russian delegation raising conspiracy theories and mass disinformation in this Council.”
Mills then hilariously spends the remainder of his remarks insinuating that it is actually Russia who perpetrated the attacks, mentioning the word “infrastructure” no less than nine times in his arguments to establish that in Ukraine, Russia has a history of attacking critical civilian infrastructure similar to the pipelines.
“Sabotage of critical infrastructure should be of concern to us all,” Mills says. “In the context of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, we have seen numerous Russian attacks damaging civilian infrastructure. We witnessed Russia recklessly seize control of Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, risking a nuclear disaster in Europe. We saw countless attacks destroying civilian electricity infrastructure.”
“Despite efforts that we heard today to distract us from the truth, to distribute more disinformation and slightly wacky theories, the facts on the ground in Ukraine speak for themselves,” Mills concludes.
The sabotage of gas pipelines were a 'warning shot' from Putin to the West, and should brace for more subterfuge, Russia experts warn https://t.co/IvH6YmFh4b

Business Insider has a new article out titled “The sabotage of gas pipelines were a ‘warning shot’ from Putin to the West, and should brace for more subterfuge, Russia experts warn.” The “experts” in question are as follows:
- Former CIA director John Brennan, who was caught spying on US lawmakers and lying about it during the Senate’s investigation into CIA torture practices.
- US intelligence veteran Andrea Kendall-Taylor, now a Senior Fellow at the warmongering think tank Center for a New American Security, whose top donors are the Pentagon and the arms manufacturer Northrop Grumman.
- Cynthia Hooper, a history professor at the College of the Holy Cross.
That’s it; that’s all the experts. Two lying warmongers and a history professor.
Nowhere in the Business Insider article do the words “conspiracy” or “theory” appear. Contrast this with the recent Associated Press article titled “Russians push baseless theory blaming US for burst pipeline,” which was so frantic to spin accusations of US Nord Stream sabotage as a crazy conspiracy theory that it framed it as something only QAnon cultists believe.
“The suggestion that the U.S. caused the damage was circulating on online forums popular with American conservatives and followers of QAnon, a conspiracy theory movement which asserts that Trump is fighting a battle against a Satanic child-trafficking sect that controls world events,” AP wrote.

Over and over again we see the pejorative “conspiracy theory” applied to accusations against one nation but not the other, despite the fact that it’s the exact same accusation. They are both conspiracy theories per definition: they’re theories about an alleged conspiracy to sabotage Russian pipelines. But the western political/media class consistently applies that label to one and never the other.
Here’s a link to another Business Insider article applying the “conspiracy theory” label to accusations of US Nord Stream sabotage. Here’s one from The Independent doing the same. Here’s one from The Washington Post. Here’s one from Newsweek. Here’s one from Vox. Here’s one from The Atlantic Council think tank. Here’s one from the Brookings Institution think tank. Here’s one from Media Matters for America, founded by the Center for American Progress think tank.
Do you get the message? Are you receiving the messaging loud and clear? Accuse the US of sabotaging the Nord Stream pipelines and it’s called a conspiracy theory. Accuse Russia of doing the exact same thing and it’s called news.
And of course by pointing out this cartoonish double standard I do not mean to suggest that both theories are equally well-evidenced. One wouldn’t expect them to be in a contest in which one party had their own energy infrastructure sabotaged.
According to @SecBlinken, the Nord Stream pipeline bombing "offers tremendous strategic opportunity for the years to come." Too bad that this tremendous opportunity for DC bureaucrats will come at the expense of everyone else, especially this coming winter. pic.twitter.com/T2eacQUuBF

For example, there’s the fact that Secretary of State Antony Blinken explicitly said that the sabotage of pipelines delivering Russian gas to Germany offers a “tremendous opportunity” to end Europe’s dependency on Russian energy. There’s also the fact that a 2019 Pentagon-commissioned study by the RAND Corporation on how to overextend and weaken Russia explicitly stated that the US would benefit from stopping Nord Stream 2. There’s also the fact that both President Biden and his Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland explicitly said that Nord Stream 2 would be brought to an end if Russia invades Ukraine, the fact that the US sanctioned those who built Nord Stream 2, the fact that former secretary of state Condoleezza Rice is on record saying the US wants Europeans to be more dependent on North American energy than on pipelines from Russia, the fact that Germans had just been angrily demanding an end to US-led sanctions on Russia and a reopening of Nord Stream gas, the fact that US naval forces were recently conducting unmanned underwater vehicle drills right where the pipelines were attacked, the fact that unmanned underwater vehicles have been found carrying explosive charges near Russian pipelines in the past, the fact that Poland literally just inaugurated a gas pipeline that will transport gas from Norway through Denmark and the Baltic Sea, the fact that US military helicopters were reportedly recorded traveling between the blast points and along the Nord Stream 2 pipeline shortly before the explosions, and the fact that the CIA has a known history of blowing up Russian gas pipelines.
But sure, if you think the United States could have any responsibility for this attack at all, you’re a crazy conspiracy theorist and no different from QAnoners who think pedophile Satan worshippers rule the world.
Okay, empire. Message received. Does make me wonder about some of those other “conspiracy theories” you’ve told us to ignore, though.

‘Does make me wonder about some of those other “conspiracy theories” you’ve told us to ignore, though.’
have u ever checked out architects and engineers for 9/11 truth (ae911truth)? they, along with many others citing various evidence of an ‘inside job’, build a very convincing case. of course, for someone not used to the underworld of the deep state and it’s long history of conspiratorial crimes including assassinations and coups d’etats, it’s hard to believe, but once one accepts the idea of a deep state run by the most ruthless conspiratorial crooks imaginable, it’s no longer so hard to believe.

It is possible to repair Nord Stream pipelines – But does German government really want it?
It is somehow amazing how dichotomous the reactions in the German mass media regarding the destruction of the Nord Stream pipelines are on the one hand and how emotional, almost aggressive on the other hand.
By “dichotomous” I mean that on the one hand there’s something like a general kinda fatalistic consensus, something like: “Well, now they’re broken, now we only get “good” gas from Norway, Azerbaijan and expensive fracking gas from the USA and Canada and no longer any “bad” Gas from the realm of evil. That’s just the way it is. There’s nothing you can do about it.”
That’s one reaction.
The other reaction is to vehemently deny any involvement from nations other than the evil empire and – without any further discussion – immediately relegate it to the realm of “conspiracy theories”. “No! A participation of the USA or other “good” because “Western” nations, with the consent of the federal government? Those are (most popular word in the German MSM) “CONSPIRACY THEORIES!””
It’s almost like a mantra or the eleventh commandment: “Thou shalt neither utter nor believe “conspiracy theories! And “conspiracy theories are always accusing the “West””
It’s amazing how eager the msm in Germany are ready to blame the evil empire for the sabotage. It’s amazing how eager they deny to raise the most simple question in that context whis is “Why would the evil empire destroy it’s own pipeline”
Of cause there might also be reasons why the evil empire could have done this. But in my opinion, these arguments i. e. that the evil empire did it – although they cannot be completely ruled out – are all shaky and one should check really carefully whether they are plausible at all.
Another thing is even more astonishing. It is the question if the pipelines could be repaired. It’s a question that isn’t being asked, or isn’t being asked with enough intensity at least.
The question is:
Can the damage be repaired so that again gas could be pumped through the pipelines?
Normally, after something has broken in some way, the first thing you ask is whether it can be repaired, dont’t you?
I cannot avoid the impression that they obviously don’t want to report on the possibility of repairing the pipelines. They report ss if it were some kind of inevitable fate or a kind of fait accompli that the pipelines are broken now, will remain broken forever and that not even a single cubic meter of gas can ever flow through the pipelines again.
But the answer if the pipelines can be repaired is rather simple.
Yes! The pipelines can be repaired! and…
Yes! it is absolutely feasible that gas can be pumped again through the repaired pipelines.
Circumstances at Nord Stream may be “unusual”, but damage to undersea pipelines is not that unusual. In fact it is almost commonplace and damaged or destoyed pipelines are repaired even quite often.
Corrosion from salt water can cause leaks, and commercial shipping accidents are common, too. Nord Stream’s pipes also lie beneath some of the world’s busiest shipping routes. That is why there are sophisticated protective measures and repair techniques for pipelines, and plans for dealing with leaks and accidents are already formulated during the construction of the pipelines.
The massive anchors of large container ships or tankers in particular can damage the pipes. In fact this happens more often as one thinks – as happened in 2008 with the Kvitebjørn pipeline in the North Sea off the Norwegian coast which was also severely damaged but could be repaired.
Objects falling from ships, such as containers, and even sinking ships themselves can also hit the pipeline. Erosion and landslides under water also pose a potential hazard.
In other words. Repair of damaged or even totally damaged pipelines can be done and it is not even a seldom event.
The question is not asked by the German government and it’s globocapitalist entourage and thus the answer is not given. Citizens are falsely made to believe that there will never ever be any more supply with natural gas though Nord Stream pipelines instead.
I therefor recommend to write a letter or mail to the Federal Government and ask them when Nord Stream pipelines will be repaired so that Europe can be supplied again with gas from Russia – ooooops…I mean from the evil empire.
Undersea pipelines can be repaired. The basic method by which this is done is as easy that even a layman as I can understand it without any problems. The method is called “Hyperbaric Tie-Ins”. It’s a practicable method that has been used quite often to repair damaged or destroyed undersea pipelines.
Incidentally, the method of Hyperbaric Tie Ins is so simple that even our Foreign Minister, who is otherwise not really extremely brilliant concerning her intelligence and education, could understand it…at least I guess that she could if she and our chancellor, who seems to suffer from kinda dissociative amnesia, wanted to understand it.

This is as intimidating as an interrogator cutting off his own fingers and leaving the subject alone.

just because they repeat it doesn’t mean they believe it.

Wikipedia is, basically, the 21st-century version of “COINTEL”. It’s *not* run by some dope-smoking geek squad of bystanders playing video games. Anything on it pertaining to U.S. hegemony narratives is combed-through three sources: NSA CENTCOM, the British neocon war thinktank BELLINGCAT, and the Boston, Massachusetts branch of an Israeli-based A.I. software engineering company called “VINESIGHT” (whose specialty is described as: “using A.I. to filter ‘misinformation’ from social media”…the FBI is contracted with them and they, especially, act as Wikipedia’s plumbers to control the media outcome of any domestic American “crisis event”).

Truth is in the wallet of the beholder. No matter. NS2 is NOT a “game changer”. It is an act of desperation. The US is losing. Biden is losing in the public eye. The Dems are losing. The economy is temporarily benefiting from killing off European industry. But that house of cards, has just added more cards to the top. Read my take and Helmotz Smith’s here https://julianmacfarlane.substack.com/p/premonitions-helmhotz-smith-with
We should not worry about the CIA-MSM psychological operations to convey selected information and indicators to audiences to influence their emotions, motives, and objective reasoning, and ultimately the behavior of governments, organizations, groups, and individuals. Ultimately people will decide if they will play a role in this game. That’s the ultimate goal from the US empire in this long MSM campaign because without you nothing will happen. Budgets will be consumed, economies exhausted altogether with your savings and patience. Still, the last move is not the nukes codes, it’s you. You decide the outcome of the last episode. Turn your back and they lose. Comply, they win. Ring something? never mind.
It’s just a matter of time until the US fabricates the “real” reason for this enormous surface effervescent phenomenon: the giants from “Jack and The Bean Stalk” were scuba diving in close proximity to the pipeline. While diving, they were suddenly overwhelmed by a tremendously excruciating bout of flatulence. To relieve themselves, they immediately fonzanooned (explaining the stupendous surface cavitation disturbance). The at depth explosive reaction caused a catastrophic shockwave that ravaged the pipeline infrastructure. BTW, the giants are all of Russian’ ethnicity (CIA approved this message). This fact should remove any doubt about the identity of the perpetrators.
Caitlin- Here is hoping you know ‘monkeywerx’ and his tenacity for following American planes with some sophisticated software. See his September 30 SITREP, as he calls it. He follows a masked American P8 plane as it descends over the pipeline r oute in the night, just hours before the pipeline exploded. Then see his follow-up explanation here; https://www.monkeywerxus.com/blog/the-nord-stream-2-pipeline-sabotage?fbclid=IwAR3GGCuoXs6wiGNs7ArYFHCsshNRmZv7x0zoN9tK6Ei1DU411AhKvA-skuU
There may be other contendors who were motivated to blow up the pipeline, and it is also problematic that there was any need for the pipelines to be blown up, – one was infinished, the other turned off in Russia to punish the Europeans for sanctions.
It is also a puzzle that such a huge and long lasting plume of gas occurred, – sure there could have been gas in the turned off pipeline, but hard to see how it would come out soo much and for so long, the thought arises, maybe it wasn’t turned off, or the nord 2 , whilst not commissioned, was working somewhat anyway.
Perhaps no one new but the word has gotten out, – Ukraine would be directly affected, – that gas would turn into rockets showering down upon them, the Norwegians could feel threatened, – thie market threatened, Greenpeace might have felt it was a good opportunity as they would not be blamed, and whatever, the companies that built those pipelines could easily by pass those damaged lengths, pump out the water, and resume operations. – I don’t think we have enough information to make comprehensive judgements, – at this stage it is just media ammunition to sell avdertising.
NS 1 is down for maintenance. The required turbine has in fact been repaired, but cannot be returned to Russia because of the sanctions. The pretzel logic about Russia “punishing” the EU by turning off its own pipeline was not designed to fool smart people.
The only entities that will benefit from the destruction of these pipelines are alternative gas suppliers.
Speaking of the media being a propaganda machine, the Wikipedia page on the death of Mahsa Amini doesn’t mention the video of her collapsing in a waiting room from what appears to be a stroke. The page goes on at length about unsourced allegations of police beatings, torture, those dirty mullahs, etc., etc., but the one hard piece of evidence I’m aware of, which generally refutes the party line, is airbrushed right out. There’s no doubt at all the media is corrupt. The warmongers want war against Iran and it looks like they may get it.
The government continually teaks wikipedia to fit their agenda. The sad thing is most people believe it is factual and true which in many cases is false.

1) Internet Whiskey Bar Happy Hour Questions:
1.a) We have seem the Baltic States coming at Russia and China on MSM.
Would we make a fortune at the expense of mocking the Brave Baltic Chihuahuas?
New York City is approximately 783.84 sq km.
Lithuania covers an area of about 65,300 sq km.
Estonia covers an area about 45,227 sq Km.
Latvia covers an area about 64,589 sq km.
Have the Baltic States enough area to park the Russian 1st Guards Tank Army? XD
Americans…may be the most propagandized society on earth; but is the United States an authentic society: an organized group of persons associated together for religious, benevolent, cultural, scientific, political, patriotic, or other purposes? How are we authentic? We are incessantly imbued with falsehoods (we live in a democracy), chicanery (safe and effective experimental non-vaccines), and pretense (endless wars fought for freedom), etc. These conditions suggest a failed state (US’ ruling class-based decisions on fiction, chauvinism, and the maximization of profit, not altruism, pragmatics, and longevity). Americans must unlearn war mentality; it may be the only course for our survival. It is quite evident (from reading comments on independent and non-independent sites), that many participants resort to insults and deflection, when contrasting opinions are presented (apparently, they don’t have a constructive counterpoint to contribute). The American culture is replete with egotism and hubris. Do you think Twitter is not edited/manipulated by the Pentagon, or other analogous agenda promoting entities? Don’t kid yourself. What about “Facade Book?” These “Social Media” platforms are usurped by the establishment; they are primarily an agenda dissemination implement (manufacturing consent for their clandestine programs of repression/suppression). Don’t agree? Why: slander China, sanction Russia, embargo Cuba, antagonize Nicaragua/Venezuela, threaten Iran, imperialize Japan/S. Korea/Germany…, regime change Iran, Ukraine, Chile…, invade Afghanistan/Iraq…, etc? Have you ever been asked if you’re patriotic? My answer is, “patriotic to what? Patriotic to a country that destroys nations, randomly kills foreign citizens, usurps democratically elected governments, and incarcerates people on imperialized Islands, with no due process (Guantanamo Bay, Cuba)?” No, absolutely not! I’m not going to advocate situational ethics or delude myself into thinking the US cares a nano-sphere about my welfare. They (you know, the gangsters (cabal)), don’t give a fuck about us, and will attempt to completely dispose of us the first opportunity they get (provided they fabricate sufficient plausible deniability).

Caitlin, Will you please block this person/remove her garbage. I have no objection to dissenting views, but this is none of that. It is this person using your spot and your good graces to make money unrelated to anything else but his or her personal well-being and having nothing whatsoever to do with the topic and hand.
In a word, the comment above is commercial spam and should not be permitted to appear here. It is not only annoying, but also does you a disservice.
That is, unless it is worse – a phishing scam. Since it doesn’t belong here, I won’t research further. Please get rid of it.
Seeing as the icons change all the time, they probably post from new IPs every time they’re blocked. So how do you block them? It is obviously indeed a phishing scam and nobody in his right mind would touch the link with a barge pole..
“So how do you block them?” An urgent request, on how to block them, was submitted to the CIA. However, during covert nuclear preparation, the CIA misinterpreted the request: create a bright and irradiating substance to facilitate blocking. In response, the CIA cleverly produced an enhanced version of “Sun Block!”
Mission Not Accomplished.
I empathize with you; however, once you begin with suppression, where does it stop? Will “they” approach Caitlin and use her action as a pretext to suppress her? Please, try to have some fun with a response, or just ignore. Besides, Gloria and Avy are in the process of merging (to supersize their synergy) and are under tremendous stress to continue their success.
I suspect there will be less of that stuff after the election.
I suspect too.
No Caitlin…let Gloria take her own garbage out! It’s time for Gloria to take responsibility for herself. She should have ample time for this task as she just made another $33,000 while enjoying your work in the privacy of her own home. Why the frack didn’t I think of this?
Gloria et al are hard working algorithms brought up in the slums of a hard wired internet domain. She rose above it to make something of herself. Unlike a lot of people hitting the big time – she is not selfish. Gloria wants to let others into her secret income, her good fortune. Gloria’s domain is now shared by down and out algorithms, the dross of the net. But she cares.
That’s what makes a difference.
Lets be kind to her. $33,000 a month is not enough, barely rent money on Capri or the south of France. Leasing a helicopter takes heaps out of her income and the second home in New York… well…
It’s truly a glorious day! She’s a real altruist? Her legal internet use highlights her strict moralistic dogma. She must be a real computer specialist. In light of this, I’m going to encourage her to contact Hillary Clinton. Maybe she can help Hillary find her lost emails? If not, they can develop a deep friendship as THEY HAVE A LOT IN COMMON.
I hear they’re gonna get unionized…
Yes…Hillary, Gloria, and Avy are unionizing. They will play the three famous witches in a Macbeth sequel: Baba Yaba, Befana, and Circe. Hillary, or course, is Baba Yaba. Not surprisingly, Donald John Trump immediately butted-in and proclaimed this unionizing effort a “witch hunt.”
Conspiracy Theorism is the new national religion. One has to completely suspend disbelief and logic in order to participate.
Your comment reminds me of a mainstream media talking point.
Sorry it doesnt hold a candle to the religion of climate change but it is moving up the list fast.
The MSM is proclaiming that our Emperor is wearing the finest threads of silk and gold, when in fact, he is utterly naked, corrupt to the bone and rotting from deep within his fish brain teeming with maggots.
I like the single mindedness of this post. Whoever did whatever, the pervasive double standard of the MSM is undeniable. I’ve wondered when or if the government/MSM might become too ridiculous for even people to believe and maybe we’re there when the president openly threatens a pipeline that’s then blown up and you’re a crazed conspiracy theorist for thinking those two dots might be connected.
The reality-denying propaganda machine is going into full damage control by pointing an accusing finger at Russia while holding a smoking gun.
I love the image! That’s exactly it! Like the kid who’s got strawberry jam all over his face and says he never touched the jar :o)
Pathologizing dissent has become the default tactic of the establishment because it is spectacularly effective; it panders to peoples’ egoistic impulse to demean those who don’t think like them. And most important of all for the empire’s narrative-managers, it stops further discussion. For the general public, it’s a convenient ad hominem debate-killer for the intellectually lazy.
For sure, it is very effective, especially with weak-minded easily herded folks.
People make political decisions and judgement based on emotions and not reason. And the US put a lot of effort to convince them that Putin isn’t an autocratic but otherwise pretty reasonable leader, but he is Darth Vader, Voldemort, Hitler and Stalin in one person and even more, he is pure elemental evil to the level of suicidal insanity. And, of course, all Russians are his avid supporters, ready to comit the most hideous acts just for fun, they aren’t even humans but orcs.
At the same time, our leaders are somewhere in the ballpark of King Arthur and Flash Gordon. The only reason they aren’t depicted on antique monuments among the other allegorical personifications of virtues is that they don’t look that good barechested.
And after you have this basis set, if something nasty happens, even if it’s directly against Russia’s best economic and diplomatic interests, the answer is obvious, it couldn’t be anybody else but them.
Pretty much. Life is much simpler when everything is cast as either black or white. Our handlers know this deep in their DNA
It amazes me that Germany is just going to roll over and take this. They could easily fight the US inside NATO. Lift sanctions, refuse to support the war, throw US bases out of Germany etc. Put up US sanctions etc. Basically throw a hissy fit. But, not a word or complaint this entire time from any official German source.
I don’t think anybody would say anything. I guess, even if they will find proof with their investigation, they will bury it.
If it comes to light as a fact that it was the US, it wouldn’ t just mean they broke agreements and laws and such, but that they directly attacked their allies by terrorism. This could have a significant impact on NATO, even it’s very existence, also on the US-EU relations. What, regardless of people suffering or not, is not in the interest of the oligarchy on either side of the ocean.
Germany has vivid memories of Dresden being bombed. Dresden was bombed by their current overlords and they don’t want a repeat performance.
I think Germany maybe noticed that UK and US are pushing it into war using either Poland or Russia, i.e. the repeat the start of WW2. Which btw was set up by the USA last time as well.
So Germany must be trying to avoid the start of WW3.
Our US government is a bunch of criminals and terrorists, and there is no way around them.
They print USD and they hire military and send it all over the globe to force other people to use USD, or starve and die.
Wonder how all this will develop and ends, and I am not hopeful at all.
https://blogs.worldbank.org/voices/are-we-ready-coming-spate-debt-crises
As debt crisis is coming, Poland is asking Germany for reparations for WW2, both Poland and Germany are also asking Russia.
Recall that the issue of reparations for the previous WW1 is what caused WW2.
So folks, we are almost there.
When times get tough, people begin to get rebellious. When “tough” approaches unendurable for a large enough fraction of the population they may/will revolt. The Germans (and Europeans) are seeing their lives being flushed down the toilet for the benefit of the Neocons who have subverted the US (and Europe).
(The “liberal democracies” — first among them the US — have been subverted by that age-old reliable method: $$$$: purchase of their political class.)
As their industry, way of life, standard of living, and prosperity, are being destroyed right before their eyes ***by their own obviously subverted leaders***, even to the point of having their elders and children, deprived of heat, freeze to death in their own homes — who can doubt that the leaders will be toasty and warm in THEIR homes — the German people won’t stand for it. They will revolt and take down their government.
There were already protests demanding that Nordstream 2 be opened and the flow of ***cheap Russian gas***, the key to their prosperity — not to mention their very ***survival*** — restored. Then the pipelines where bombed by the US and their fate sealed … or so it seemed.
But wait … fate intervenes: The US criminals screwed up. They placed one of the explosive charges in the wrong place, missing NS2’s line B which remains undamaged and ready to supply 27.5 billion cubic meters of gas per year, 50% of NS2 full capacity:
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-10-03/gazprom-ready-to-ship-gas-via-shelved-nord-stream-2-pipeline
Interesting times.
Why not? It WORKS. Say something often enough, from multiple mouths on multiple stations and venues, and enough people will believe it. It doesn’t matter if there’s no evidence and it’s illogical and the claim hides a fairly obvious lie once the key “who benefits?” question is asked. Everybody won’t believe it, and some will speak up, which is why you need to yip the “conspiracy theory!” pejorative repeatedly. That’s enough to get the well-trained to ignore those pointing out the absurdity.
It’s hard for Americans to come to grips with the realization that all their tweets and facebook messages full of righteous indignation on behalf of whatever team they vote for were useless. So no grips are ever come to. It’s a good system called democracy or something.
Pretty much, all that sound and fury signifying nothing.

They should have gullibility contests. Given that Biden and Nuland said they’d terminate the pipeline, and that Antony Blinken said the sabotage was a tremendous opportunity for the US, how many people believe the US didn’t blow up the damn thing?
Probably the same amount who bought the don’t mask, mask, social distance, social distance with mask, with double mask, shelter in place while masked and social distancing, don’t touch things, get vaxxed, get double-vaxxed, get boosted, get double-boosted, get triple-boosted against a virus that came from a CCP bat in a wet market and, if we believe what Bill Gates is saying now, only affected very few people, essentially elderly, with a low fatality rate – but was allegedly at the time the scourge of God.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuDnopUS_c0
Additionally, Blinken’s declaration is strangely reminiscent of Netanyahu’s in the wake of 9/11 (when Ehud Barak had accused bin Laden without a shred of evidence, which was immediately reverberated by the whole media whorehouse and now is increasingly discredited) that it was good for Fill-the-blank.
And it was too!
However nothing’s been proved in either case, so we’ve got to use a litmus test. My litmus test is John Brennan. I don’t need any long and costly investigation. I ask what John Brennan says about uncertain shit and I immediately know that the contrary is true. Never fails! :o)
I have always said people are stupid or just dont care. I will let you decide the percentage of each.
You brought it up. What is the percentage? Are ALL people stupid? Or don’t they ALL care?
Comparing Blinken’s pronouncements to Netanyahu’s pronouncements is great pattern recognizing. Well done.
As per usual Australia’s ABC is presenting US propaganda on Ukraine as part of our daily diet.
Don’t those publicly funded mouthpieces get it yet? Russia cannot and will not lose. Does anyone believe that the recent four ‘oblast’ referenda was just in order to surrender them later?
Russia tried a limited operation, and why they did so is the prerogative of their General Staff.
The main fighting has been done by local militia backed up by regular Armed Forces of Russia. Of course the recent call up is not for fighting in Ukraine – it is to free up more AFR.
Russian strategic interests are being held back for the ‘big game’. The commitment of significant NATO ground forces to Ukraine, although at present, there is no European desire to do so.
There has been heaps written on the real reason for the Ukraine conflict. It is to keep Europe subservient to US commerce. Germany is the key – hence destroying the only hope they had for non US sources of energy. Classic Capitalist mafia tactics.
All this is available from multiple sources – but not the ABC. In the game of capitalist world domination Australia has already been captured.
Russia once saved Europe from fascism – it will not do so again.
Strange how this Ukraine business has been going for about 8 months yet no mention of those diabolical Russkies downing that airplane MH17 over Ukraine yet. With all due condolences to those affected, it’s hard to believe this incident has not been slapping us in the face yet. Especially since the Dutch seemed to have cornered the narrative on what may have happened in that no fly zone on July 17 2014.
One wonders if the Russians will be allowed to investigate what happened to their pipeline or present any findings as it was back then.
Reminds me of that short video clip from the Vietnam War era of an Asian soldier on his knees, a US soldier with a gun to his head a few inches away; and the next moment the Asian soldier laying dead.
No doubt that when the shoe is on the the other foot the world will not forget, but all the shi* mouth criminals will be on a jet plane to god knows where while we’ll all be left holding the bag. I was that soldier with the gun in his hand as you related the story of our lying, filthy American war heroes.
I got the real numbers. Moon of Alabama got it right.
1 – What the U.S. needed was to provoke Russia, and later China, into reacting to U.S. arranged threats in a way that would oblige its ‘allies’ to follow its sanction policies.
2 – The rather dimwitted European leadership fell for the trick.
3 – The Europeans launched a sequence of extremely harsh economic sanctions against Russia which, prodded by the U.S., had been prepared months in advance.
4 – Russia’s Special Military Operation, under Article 51 of the UN Charter, commenced on February 24.
5 – So the most pressing U.S. strategic aim of NATO confrontation with Russia is soaring oil and gas prices. In addition to creating profits and stock-market gains for U.S. companies, higher energy prices will take much of the steam out of the German economy.
6 – The piece discusses the five stages along which the catastrophe will happen.
Act One: Freezing Production – It is becoming prohibitively expensive to produce in Germany.
Act Two: The Price Trap – No one buys at the high prices German products now cost.
Act Three: The Consumer Crisis – Needing to pay high energy prices German consumers buy less of everything else.
Act Four: The Wave of Bankruptcies.
Act Five: The Final Act on the Labor Market.
7 – The U.S., while also going into a recession, will profit, as it had planned, from the European catastrophe.
8 – The U.S., with the help of European politicians, is waging a war against the people of Europe and their standard of living. It is now on the verge of winning that war.
9 – That war, hidden behind the U.S. created Ukraine crisis, is designed to destroy Europe’s manufacturing advantage compared to the U.S. It is more likely though to STRENGTHEN the economic position of China and other Asian economies. Is this why behind the scenes the US is in intense talks with India? Will India be tempted to fuck up its own independence and bright future for a coupe of coins to keep the emperor happy?
So, it’s more likely a Ukrainian theatric war from afar for the US empire who will not lose a lick as Europe will do. Ukraine will fuck up itself for nothing. But It is a tragedy for Europe.
I cannot stop thinking what this will accomplish for the US empire because it will backfire everything.
In the aftermath, no MSM propaganda will convince Europe that they did the right thing for NATO and the US-UK.
Europe historically has been at war with itself for centuries. I think it is a cultural thing because you do not see SE Asia or South America going to war with itself at near the same frequency.
Not counting Venezuela and Bolivia, South America is americanized. Argentina’s elites still struggling to decide what it will be.
Paraguay is transitioning from a smuggling country to a duty free zone. Colombia has the eternal fight to decide if CIA is the government or if the government is CIA.
Guiana, Suriname, Guatemala are the French, British, American octagon. Ecuador is bananas.
Chile perhaps will become some sort of Pinochet-land again.
Uruguay is about cannabis and BBQ.
Peru still deciding if it will be isolated from the rest to benefit the US or if it will connect through railroads the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean through a Chinese project.
Brazil is about delivering money to America, football, samba and fucking up its own people with taxes.
Perhaps this is the great MSM-CIA achievement in South America. No one knows a lick about each other.
Wait, perhaps Europe is the second greatest achievement of the MSM-CIA.
Industrial conglomerates from Europe will move to America. What is left? The new South America replacing the old Europe. Welcome back to the XVI century!!!!
Isn’t Suriname rather on the Dutch side?
That Mazzola guy doesn’t know anything about Suriname. Bastard!!! Probably it’s a bot.
There is Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

I have a link on my website that says air-launched torpedoes were used. You get there by clicking on my name. The link is in my article.
When Washington crashes highjacked planes into skyscrapers, a bunch of camel jockeys were the obvious perps. When a bioengineered killer virus paid for by Tony Fauci is released, gotta be the Chinks. Clearly honest people can only trust American sources, which are guaranteed to be impeccable. So, how dare anyone doubt Yankee claims that the Russkies destroyed their own 20 billion dollar piece of construction to deprive Germany hundreds of millions in natural gas sales. It’s just like those barbarian .cutthroats to want to freeze thousands of German babies to death this winter. Maybe their out-of-work dads will be forced into homelessness yielding even higher totals. Worth it? You bet, just ask Madeline… if you should see her in Hell.
Nice peek behind the curtain revealing the demons doing their thing. What they are doing is truly demonic
You win wackadoodle comment of the day claiming without evidence that the US did 9/11 and COVID. A bit like US officials and media claiming Russia sabotaged nordstream. You see, I was in DC that day and saw Cheney getting into a limo, heard him say bring down the towers. No, wait, I made up a story.
Absolutely! Everybody knows that al-Qaeda did 9/11, devised the CCP wet market Covid bats by fitting Jimmy Hendrix’ little wings on Covid mice – the parents of the eight mice on which the last booster was tested – and the pipeline. Let’s remind the sceptics that when you’ve pulled 9/11, blowing up a pipeline under everybody’s radar is child’s play! Besides al Qaeda means Putin in Russian. So when Blinken says Putin did it, it all becomes clear! If you want to understand geopolitics, you’ve got to be a cunning linguist…
Realist is correct, I came to same observations, after 20 years of suffering under anti-terrorist propaganda in the US.

The infamous US Rogue element will get away as it succeeded – just to name a few – with JFK, World Trade Center, Syria Chemical attacks and now Nord Stream.

Excerpt: We urgently need steps to de-escalate tensions between nuclear powers, while reviving negotiations for nuclear-weapons treaties and disarmament measures. And that’s why the Defuse Nuclear War campaign – and participation in it – are so important.

Pipeline Torpedo Bomber (USA! USA! USA!)
This story appears to be well researched and is quickly getting around, that an American specialty bomber for oceanic targets, a P-8 Poseidon, flew from the US to the Baltic Sea, getting aerial refuelling over Germany, loitered over the areas of the pipeline bombing, at the same time that the undersea explosions were detected, and flew back to the US. It was reportedly the only aircraft over that area at that time.
The P-8 Poseidon can carry multiple payloads, including special torpedoes launched from altitude, carried to a level above the surface of the water, slowed and released from their carriers as precision-guided torpedoes. Thanks DBS.

Colonel US Army (ret.) Douglas McGregor
Former Pentagon Advisor Says US Likely Attacked Nord Stream Pipelines to Isolate Germany
“Then you have to look at who are the state actors that have the capability to do this. And that means the Royal Navy, the United States Navy Special Operations,” said Macgregor.
“I think that’s pretty clear. We know that thousands of pounds of TNT were used because these pipelines are enormously robust. You have several inches of concrete around various metal alloys to move the natural gas. So it’s not something that you could simply drop a grenade down at the end of a fish line and disrupt. That means it takes a certain amount of sophistication.”

Honey, the fashion these days is blowing up pipelines. That’s where the real money is! Forget about “terribly honest and easy on-line sports activities from home”.
Who cares about that? And for only “$33,000 or many months from home”? Gotta be kidding!
