Gazprom Invited to Recover Object Found Near Nord Stream Pipeline: Mystery Object Found Near Nord Stream Pipelines Could Point To Culprit
Moscow Times via AFP ^ | 03/24/2023

Denmark has invited Russian energy giant Gazprom to help recover a mystery object that was spotted near the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline six months after sections of it were sabotaged.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, who revealed the discovery of the object earlier this month, said experts believe that the object could be a signal antenna to activate an explosive in that part of the pipeline.

German, Swedish and Danish authorities are investigating the undersea explosions that sparked four leaks on the two Nord Stream pipelines in the Baltic Sea in September, seven months after Russia invaded Ukraine.

The Danish energy agency released a photo late Thursday of the cylindrical object standing near the Nord Stream 2 pipeline at the bottom of the sea.

The agency said it is "possible" that the object is a maritime smoke buoy, 40 centimeters tall and 10 centimeters wide, and that it "does not pose an immediate safety risk."

"With a view to further clarifying the nature of the object, Danish authorities have decided to salvage the object with assistance from the Danish Defense," it said in a statement.

The agency added that it was still waiting for a response from the pipeline's owner before starting the recovery operation.

Gazprom holds a majority stake in the twin pipelines, with the rest owned by German, Dutch, and French companies.

German prosecutors said earlier this month that in January investigators searched a ship suspected of having transported explosives used in the blasts.

Confirmation of the searches came after the New York Times reported that U.S. officials had seen new intelligence indicating that a "pro-Ukrainian group" was responsible for the sabotage.

The Ukrainian government denied involvement in the action, while the Kremlin rejected the Times report as a "diversion."

I was hoping it would be a billfold.

If the ICC weren’t a cabal of cucks completely owned by Soros/Schwab, they would arrest Dictator Brandon, Victoria Nuland and many other members of this illegal regime. Americans would love to see Brandon arrested and facing trial in the World Court for the destruction of the pipeline.

Hmmm…. Remember the American “intelligence” plane that flew from CONUS to the Baltic Sea at the time of the demolitions? The flight made a point of NOT stopping in the UK to refuel but did a “full top off” aerial refueling over the Baltic before then immediately flying to the location of the explosions in the Baltic before returning to CONUS. Dropping a buoy with signal relay equipment to trigger pre-planted high explosives?

Enquiring minds want to know. Gullible, dull, incurious minds simply believe what they are told and say “THE RUSSIANS BLEW IT UP”.

Oh, by the way, there’s always the possibility that whatever this is was PLANTED as a “Look, squirrel!” misdirection piece of “evidence”.

The algae growth on that thing is much greater than what’s on the pipe, which indicates it’s been there longer than the pipe.

I noticed that too.

But, I don’t really care who blew it up. If russia can’t be civilized, I don’t think the West should be trading with them at all.

That’s hard to say if it’s emitting some kind of frequency it’s possible that would attract algae and various other ocean like critters

OR the exterior of the pipeline was treated to withstand algae growth.

“THE RUSSIANS BLEW IT UP”.

The Russians blowing up their own pipeline would be like the US electing someone who stopped construction on a US pipeline, crashed the economy, allowing in millions of unknown people without vetting and or stoppage, lied constantly, oh...

But seriously, why would the Russians blow up their own pipeline? That’s ridiculous, even taken at face value.

The US blew up the pipeline. Brandon and some of his cohorts are on video vowing to blow it up.
