Remember, Fact Checkers didn't exist until the truth began leaking out into the mainstream.

Here’s a thought: maybe the pipeline just broke?

That wouldn’t explain the distinct seismograph activity picked up by Norway on the day of the incident.

A vessel under pressure imploding because of a fault?

When you view that tape it is clear that the politically correct narrative so slavishly promoted by the MSM is essentially self delusion. Journalists as propagandists are not truth seekers. Sachs is saying the obvious and of course the “journalists” reflexively cannot tolerate his opinion being even said.

Of course, in multiple places at the same time, after unusual seismic activity, in the middle of a war in which energy supplies are a major geopolitical issue.

Yeah, sounds right..

It's an example of the political Hive Mind that censors and Fact Checks any and all dissension. As with all fascist states, they need complete conformity in order to be successful.

Don’t forget Biden and Nuland stating Nord Stream will be destroyed.

The interview is on bloomberg. There are two interviewers, a man and a woman. At one point,the professor goes into a lengthy but on point response about the US probably being responsible in some way for the Nordstream attacks. The woman asks what evidence he has. He comes back with some details and then mentions that the Ukraine conflict goes back to 2014 at a minimum, and that the entire situation is comparable to the cuban missile conflict. the lady interjects that they are not geared for a lengthy controversial position since they don’t have another interviewee lined up who can rebut the position. the guy apologizes that he is talking about stuff that is probably forbidden in newsrooms. I did not sense that the guy was being censured. it sounded to me that he got a fair amount of “his” viewpoint across. One thing that he mentioned is that his viewpoint was widely shared amongst colleagues at the vienna economics conference that he was attending.

Sounds like the Prof pushed back and handled it well.

Problem here....you have pipe #1 that goes, and 15 hours later, pipe #2 goes, and there’s probably 30 nautical miles difference between the two.

I should add....for most of the path of 1 and 2...they are at least a mile, to five miles apart. The sea-level we are talking about? About 70 meters or 230 ft.

I will say this...virtually anyone (even Ukrainian Oligarch folks, or Chinese mafia) could be behind this.

My belief is that it was a insurance situation....no cash or money-making occurring, but if you blew the 2 pipes...insurance policies would pay GAZPROM ‘something’.

I remember seeing something similar done to Newt Gingrich on Fox's 'Outnumbered' when he mentioned Soros funded DAs being responsible for the violence in the summer of 2020. That was a "what did I just witness" moment. I tuned in the following day to see if they said anything. Five minutes of Harris Faulker telling viewers Fox doesn't sensor.

Cut the cord the week after Brett Baier called Arizona for Biden (the last straw, Tucker Carlson notwithstanding).

I recall that. Harris Faulkner gasped when Newt mentioned Soros. She looked into the camera with a “what do I do now” look. Total frauds, a controlled opposition who have done absolutely nothing to help right our nation.

It’s the Rube Goldberg explanation.
