“No Evidence” US Involved In Nord Stream Pipeline Attack Because Pentagon Says So

Authored by Paul Joseph Watson via Summit News,

Fox News reporter Jennifer Griffin has confirmed that the U.S. was not responsible for the Nord Stream 2 pipeline explosion, because the Pentagon told her so.

Yes, really.

Despite accusations flying that the United States could have been involved in the blasts that have reportedly could scupper the pipelines permanently, and without any investigation having taken place, Griffin’s crack journalism has solved the case.

“There is no evidence or indication the US was involved in any way with the Nordstream 2 pipeline explosions,” Griffin tweeted.

“My question at the Pentagon briefing today: Can you rule out that the U.S. was involved? Senior Military Official: ‘Yeah, we were absolutely not involved.’ ”

Well, that’s that then, case closed.

As Chris Menahan notes, the Fox News reporter has been guilty of brazenly amplifying false regime propaganda before.

“Earlier this year, Griffin put out the debunked hoax story that Russia bombed the Babi Yair holocaust memorial in Ukraine.”

The reporting was later debunked after an Israeli journalist visited the site and found it to be completely unscathed.

Griffin also recycled the lie that Russia was using “mobile crematoriums” to “evaporate” war dead, when the supposed video proving it was taken from a 2013 YouTube video.

“When news came out about US biolabs in Ukraine, Griffin also simply repeated Pentagon talking points to dismiss the story as a nothingburger,” writes Menahan.

When Griffin was recently rewarded with a new multiyear contract, she stated that it “has been an honor to provide viewers with trusted reporting from the Pentagon and across the world on issues that are paramount to all of us – the security and safety of our fellow citizens and allies.”

“Trusted reporting.”

Where’s the downside?

The first step in surviving a nuclear war is to avoid a direct hit. Washington DC will get several direct hits and the initial flash will vaporize most of the population. The shock wave will level most of the city. By now, the Russians and Chinese know to target Northern Virginia, so it will be a saturation bombing. The five percent that survive the initial blast will be radiated and die soon thereafter. Therefore, the first rule of nuke club is to be outside the target zone.

It is past time for us to start thinking what life will be like without DC and its tentacles all over us. Mainland will likely be EMPed to limit our response. Time to think state, county, and real local–maybe even walking distance. Most of us still remember how to walk don’t we? No fiat or digital wealth, little or no food, utilities, fuel, transport, or comms. If you need help imagining all this read One Second After or World Made By Hand. Try to think of it not as judgement (even though it is). Try to think of it as deliverance and look to what will come after. Everything in this world system is fake and Upside down. Evil has been institutionalized past the point of redemption. Evil is called good and good is called hate speech. It’s all so unstable that nature and nature’s God demand that it all come down.

What military means can be used by a party wishing to harm the pipeline? There is an answer to this question.

The pipeline mainly runs at depths of about 100-150 meters, often closer to a hundred. The use of combat swimmers for sabotage at such a depth is excluded – the need to undergo decompression requires the presence of a vessel with a pressure chamber somewhere nearby, which in itself is a strong unmasking factor. In addition, such an operation takes time. The use of depth charges will unequivocally indicate that the military of some country was working. In addition, the stealth factor again arises – a ship with this weapon will not have time to leave after its use. The attack must be completely invisible.

Under such conditions, the most likely means to attack the pipeline is the so-called mine destroyer – a disposable uninhabited underwater vehicle (UUV), controlled from a surface ship via a fiber-optic cable, having its own television camera and a simple sonar. Such devices are in service with foreign fleets in huge quantities. The device carries an explosive charge on board, the remote detonation of which destroys the mine.

The main feature in the case of Nord Stream is that the device can be secretly launched from a ship located quite far (several kilometers) from the pipeline, and connected to the pipeline remotely. The explosion of the apparatus will be carried out when the ship is not next to it. It will be enough for the crew of the ship to simply throw the control equipment overboard in order to calmly leave the place of sabotage.

Poland has the ability to use such devices. The US, of course, too. In addition, the mercenary industry developed in the United States makes it possible to work not with the hands of their own military personnel or the military personnel of the Polish Armed Forces, but to use mercenaries to train some kind of “cannon fodder” for such an operation. For example, even from Ukraine, whose citizens are well aware of how the launch of Nord Stream 2 will turn out for their country.

This whole fiasco is being elevated by the US of A(ssholes) which is an open secret. I get why russia is dilly dallying, they are going to wait for winter to do most of the work for them. They have stated repeatedly they don’t want to destroy infrastructure or the people living in these areas, only get rid of US proxies like the cia scum and those the cia trains and funds.

Which makes a world of sense, you don’t flatten everything like the US does when it invades a country. Destroying the countries infrastructure and people only turn the people into underground freedom fighters, enemies within. But the US doesn’t care because its not on their doorstep. But when it IS on their doorstep, they act entirely different, eg Martha’s Vineyard.

Up to now the US dirtballs destroying the country feel smug and safe. comfy, and far removed from Europe and Russia. They can destroy with impunity and nothing will become them. If I were Russia today and the US just destroy our property, and a small portion of revenue stream, I would send them a message in return.

What do you suppose the US administration would think if two nuclear ballistic missile carrying subs surfaced just off shore of the east and west coasts??? Hinting there was 4 or more remaining submerged and hidden, ready to rock’n roll. Oh, the political elites will go to bunkers… Perhaps, but like everything it takes time and missiles launched from that close they wouldn’t have time to get to a shelter. Plus the people left surviving will have an easier time sealing the entrances so the parasites can never leave.

I think the tune would change in a hurry… imo… thats if nukes even exist…

They do and subs do not have to surface to launch cruise missiles at WDC , missiles which would not be stopped. Probably most people in the World agree with Putin (not FJB) and would thank the Russians if they did eliminate the Evil Empire of Lies rogue ZOG; just making an educated guess.

I agree with the subs and outcome… But if a couple surfaced just off shore… pretty hard to ignore and hide from the general public.

Of course the media and politicals would go completely retard hair on fire spinning this as russia threatening the world… which it would be in two senses, one a real global threat of nuclear exchange and two by ‘their’ world they mean the politicals idea of owning the world. The same message of the threat to democracy narrative, which we all know means the evil scum losing their grip on control.

And to add to the excitement Putin off handedly mentions the subs have hypersonic weaponry… check…

ADDED: Should all these politicals beeline for bunkers… you know then that there is a shit storm acoming and these cowardly parasites think they’ll escape the coming storm. Then once ticks are buried into their shelters we the People pull up with some cement mixers and seal them in, for their safety.

We send out a broadcast that all is clear and the loonies have been contained. I’m not sure why I haven’t been put in charge yet… I wonder if I offer platnium cards if people will elect me… I promise to squint when signing edicts, which makes them stronger, like it does when voting…

No evidence?

The USS Kearsage aircraft carrier was in the area from 9/22, with “secret” helicopter flights from the carrier following along a route that was directly over all blast areas.

…but if the US military says they didn’t, well I guess they’re telling the truth, I mean, they’re such an honest and upstanding group of folks…

I was a USAF Officer and saw it was SOP for the Brass to lie to the public. FJB and Victoria Nuland said “we” will take out those two pipelines; the US claiming a Russian Black Flag is double speak for useless idiots. ZOG has become Fascist at home and abroad. That leaves Europe no room to bargain with Russia for the gas; they are going to freeze and business crash there this Winter (and then here) because of the USA ZOG; Europeans will hate US. It was an act of war against Russia. They have every right to take out our pipelines now and remove the gloves with NATO in Ukraine. From their view, the USA Coup has to go. I expect real serious actions like the 1972 Embargo or dollar dumping by the BRICS et all; serious riots in Europe and maybe even Sanctions or Embargoes on US by Europe. Nov2022 will come too late; ZOG has already crossed the Rubicon, but vote the democrat coup out 8Nov like your life depends on it.

I love the responses asking “why would the U.S. sabotage the pipeline?”

It’s just a false flag attack. It’s only a false flag attack.
There is no real benefit to anyone from blowing up the pipeline (at least, none great enough that it would justify actually doing it).
It is only a “horrific attack” to be blamed on the enemy you wish to go to war with.
Something else could have been used as the false flag, but they chose this. It’s got nothing to do with gas, cold German winters, pipelines, energy, nothing. It’s just a thing to use as a casus belli for open war.

https://scubaboard.com/community/threads/what-gas-mixture-for-what-depth-range.56288/#post-601452

“We use 32% to about 100 ft

21/35 trimix to 150 ft and sometimes a mix like 28/30 or 30/30 between 100 and 130.

18/45 trimix to 200 ft
15/55 trimix to 250 and 10/70 belopw that.

For decompression we use 100% at 20 ft and or EAN50 at 70 ft and/or EAN35 at 120 ft.

I havenb’t needed a decompression gas below 120 ft yet

A gas mixture with less than about 0.16 ATA PPO2 won’t keep you alive.

A mix with to high a PPO2 and/or for too laong can make you convulse and drown.

Too high a PPN2 and the narcosis is too much.

Too little N2 and very deep HPNS can be an issue.

BTW PP = partial pressure…ATA = pressure in atmospheres absolute.

I know that wasn’t very detailed but it gives an idea of some of the issues.

There are of course other mixtures that divers use but these are the ones that we use.”

Nothing at all special about this act of sabotage which apparently took place in 43 meters of seawater.

Mentioned this in another post, nothing special.

Most of my dives logged are in the 40 – 50 meter range and all on regular recreational tanks. I have a dozen or so in the 60 meter range and only because there was something there to see, like deep water corals. I also have NO2 cert which essentially makes off gassing easier and shorter. There would be no real need for a tri mix, imo as the demolition team wouldn’t need long to plant explosives.

Thats IF it was done by diver and not drones. If it was a sub supported operation then a small portable hyperbaric chamber on a sub isn’t out of the possibilities if they needed to do saturation dives.

I’m no explosives expert so I’m just making a guess that regardless of delivery method it would have all not only been planned but prep’d ready to go. It would be ludicrous to think otherwise. Little time in and a quick exit.

Punch a large hole and the gas pressure in the pipe would help tear things apart. If a more than a little oxidizer was present I can imagine that would help with the explosives as well. Incorporating the gas into the explosion also…

If theres someone with demolitions background they would probably be able to speak to this much better…

But, as you pointed out, it ain’t a specialist dive of any sort.

“In order to knock Germany out of the geopolitical and geo-economic game
for good, the AAA must not only successfully trick it into committing
economic suicide through its compliance with the anti-Russian sanctions,
but also destroy any chance of a strategically meaningful rapprochement
with Russia in the future.​ ​Sabotaging the Nord Stream pipelines
accomplishes precisely that by completely disincentivizing Germany from
potentially clinging to whatever energy-driven plans it might have for
eventually repairing relations with Russia.​..Germany might also figure
that it doesn’t have anything more to lose vis a vis Russia by possibly
being the first country to send cutting-edge battle tanks to Kiev. This
artificially manufactured strategic inertia would thus doom Russian-German
relations for decades.”
