It’s been six weeks since I published a report, based on anonymous sourcing, naming President Joe Biden as the official who ordered the mysterious destruction last September of Nord Stream 2, a new US$11 billion pipeline that was scheduled to double the volume of natural gas delivered from Russia to Germany.
The story gained traction in Germany and Western Europe, but was subject to a near media blackout in the US. Two weeks ago, after a visit by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to Washington, US and German intelligence agencies attempted to add to the blackout by feeding the New York Times and the German weekly Die Zeit false cover stories to counter the report that Biden and US operatives were responsible for the pipelines’ destruction.
Press aides for the White House and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) have consistently denied that America was responsible for exploding the pipelines, and those pro forma denials were more than enough for the White House press corps.
There is no evidence that any reporter assigned there has yet to ask the White House press secretary whether Biden had done what any serious leader would do: formally “task” the American intelligence community to conduct a deep investigation, with all of its assets, and find out just who had done the deed in the Baltic Sea.
According to a source within the intelligence community, the president has not done so, nor will he. Why not? Because he knows the answer.
Sarah Miller – an energy expert and an editor at Energy Intelligence, which publishes leading trade journals, who writes a blog on Medium – explained to me in an interview why the pipeline story has been big news in Germany and Western Europe:
The destruction of the Nord Stream pipelines in September led to a further surge of natural gas prices that were already six or more times pre-crisis levels. Nord Stream was blown up in late September. German gas imports peaked a month later, in October, at 10 times pre-crisis levels. Electricity prices across Europe were pulled up, and governments spent as much as 800 billion euros, by some estimates, shielding households and businesses from the impact.
Gas prices, reflecting the mild winter in Europe, have now fallen back to roughly a quarter of the October peak, but they are still between two and three times pre-crisis levels and are more than three times current US rates. Over the last year, German and other European manufacturers closed their most energy-intensive operations, such as fertilizer and glass production, and it’s unclear when, if ever, those plants will reopen. Europe is scrambling to get solar and wind capacity in place, but it may not come soon enough to save large chunks of German industry.
Wait… I thought Stormy Daniels blew up the piplne
Rationalizations, but no evidence, of who did it, remain.
“Rationalizations, but no evidence, of who did it, remain.”
Perhaps not to yourself, but more than enough circumstantial evidence for the 85% of the world that is NOT under the thumb of the ‘Globalists’.
“circumstantial evidence” isn’t proof
you America-haters will have to try harder
The fact that the Biden regime will not look for any evidence is, in itself, evidence.
““circumstantial evidence” isn’t proof”
If you say it 1000 times, it WILL NOT change the opinion of the 85% of the world that DOES NOT suck up to the Globalists.
They LAUGH at the claim that the SS Minow crew put on a snorkel and took 1500 lbs. of TNT 250 feet down and blew up the pipelines.
“Rationalizations, but no evidence, of who did it, remain.”
Useful idiots, with complete evidence, remain.
“ Rationalizations, but no evidence, of who did it, remain.”
******************************************************
To a near certainty, forensic evidence of what state actor did it existed at the Crime Scene AND HAS BEEN COLLECTED AND ANALYZED by Sweden, Denmark and the Joint German/Russian private owners of the Nord Stream pipeline network — and DEFINITIVE CONCLUSIONS drawn.
Also, only three of the four pipelines had their planted explosives detonated. The fabricated explosive device at the fourth pipeline (one of the Nord Stream 1 lines) location FAILED TO DETONATE. That fabricated device is certainly in the process of being forensically examined in detail.
THE TRUTH WILL COME OUT and guilty parties will be dealt with concerning this ILLEGAL ACT OF WAR against Germany and Russia,
Biden said that if Russia attacked Ukraine the pipeline would go away - and it did - he did!!!!
You show evidence of having at least one brain cell. I base that on the fact that you are able to login here on a daily basis to support pedoBiden.
Globalist........ you got to say globalist
“Globalist........ you got to say globalist”
Ok, NEOCON! NEOCON! NEOCON! NEOCON! NEOCON! NEOCON! NEOCON! NEOCON!
If that makes you happier - same bunch, exactly the same bunch when it comes to policy.
Well, as a troglodyte paleocon you constantly display your neo isolationist blather
“Well, as a troglodyte paleocon you constantly display your neo isolationist blather”
Isolationism is what the rest of the world is having major meetings and conferences, and the US is NO LONGER invited. Lots of that happening in the past year. Seems that the rest of the world, particularly Russia and China, is now moving forward without us.
Many court cases turn on “circumstantial evidence.” The drawing of logical conclusions from incomplete information is not a bad thing, we all do it every day.
Think of fingerprints and DNA found at the scene of a murder. A recovered gun with fingerprints of the suspect which match the ballistics of a bullet removed from the victim are all circumstantial evidence.
Circumstantial evidence is often far more reliable than direct evidence such as eyewitness accounts.
Good one. Now, slowly back away from your double entendre.
It would be nice to see some earthly justice for these corrupt Marxists destroying America from within.
Evidence comes in two varieties: 1) direct evidence such as a confession or eyewitness accounts, and 2) circumstantial evidence.
Circumstantial evidence may, or may not, be proof, but it is still evidence. Many criminal cases are proved beyond reasonable doubt solely upon circumstantial evidence.
All of the circumstantial evidence points to a nation-state actor other than Russia. Various US officials threatened to strike Nordstream before it happened, but this is circumstantial rather than direct evidence.
Seymour Hersh says he has direct evidence, but won’t reveal his source, largely because his source would probably get life in a Supermax prison if exposed.
You Biden-lovers have to try harder.
