Nord Stream Pipelines Blown Off… Who Did It and What’s Next?

Guest Post by Chris MacIntosh

Nord Stream Pipelines

Both Northstream pipelines were just blown up, and they’re not even hiding it.

Below is Radek Sikorski on Twitter thanking the USA with a graphic of the explosion of the Nordstream pipeline.

Who, you might ask, is this dude? Just the Chairman of the EU-USA delegation at the European Parliament.

You likely missed it, but back in February, before the war had kicked off, sleepy Joe let this all slip… or perhaps it was meant to be part of an NLP programming of the sheeple. Who the hell knows. But here is what he told a reporter:

Pres. Biden: “If Russia invades…then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.”

Reporter: “But how will you do that, exactly, since… the project is in Germany’s control?”

Biden: “I promise you, we will be able to do that.”

Any sane person would ask how the hell can Biden shut down a project which isn’t ostensibly under US control or even in US territory? Those are good questions which I’d hope you already know the answer to. Think it through, ever since the sabotage, the MSM are all bunching up their panties and hysterically blaming Russia. If you believe this, I’ve a bridge to sell you.

Let’s quickly think through the list of characters here. I’m quite sure we’ll hear from the breathless dolts on CNBC that it was those dirty Russkies that blew up their own pipeline.

Here’s the thing, though. Why would they? Why inflict very costly damage on your own assets?

If they want to turn off the gas they just… well, turn it off. Why blow the undersea pipelines (both) up? This is simply not logical.

In fact, let’s say they really wanted to. Why doesn’t matter. Let’s think of how. Why would they go all the way to the German end of the pipeline to do it? Wouldn’t it be easier closer to home?

The idea the Russians bombed their own pipeline has so many holes in it that it looks like Swiss cheese.

Who else? What about the Germans on the receiving end of the pipelines? Well, why would they? What is the motivation?

Despite it being questionable whether they’ve the capability (submarines that can go that deep to detonate a bomb), their political leadership has been talking about making some sort of deal (after all, they realise they really need that energy).

Then you’ve got Zelensky and his crowd. Well, they certainly would want to do this, but they’re realistically a third world impoverished country without the capability. That leaves the US who have both the capability and the motivation to do this. Of course, we have additional evidence from none other than the US state department.

Interestingly, this incident took place just one day after thousands of German protesters took to the streets and demanded the opening of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline:

“Thousands of protesters took to the streets in the northeastern German seaside town of Lubmin on Sunday, urging officials to put into service the halted Nord Stream 2 pipeline project that was designed to transport fuel from Russia to Germany.

Germany had stalled the launch of the ambitious energy project for months before putting it on the back burner in the wake of Russia’s military operation in Ukraine, which is now in its eighth month.

Not only is this an escalation of the war. It is a clear overt acknowledgement to all that this war is a US vs Russia war. The pretense that it’s Ukraine — or even the EU — has always been laughable. But now it is at least being acknowledged. I suppose at some point it always becomes rather pointless in hiding the obvious.

The question is now what next?

Number one, and if you’re in Europe, this applies to you. Even if the Russkies and the Europeans all sang kumbaya together and made up, there is no ability to send Russian gas to Europe anymore. None. Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 both have now been sabotaged… within hours of each other. It is worth noting that European energy security and supply via these pipelines was 20 years in the making. Gone! Poof! Up in a whiff of CIA smoke. Europe has no energy and we are literally weeks until it begins to get rather chilly. Not to mention all the other elements related to NOT having energy, food being a major one.

Fading empires are dangerous things. The entire chessboard of Western geo-political maneuvering was just annihilated in one night with three explosions.

But fear not, Ursula von der Leyen has threatened to take decisive action for “sabotage.” So Europeans can all sleep easy now that Ursula is taking “decisive” action — whatever that is.

Looking further afield, here’s something to look at.

The Azerbaijan pipeline runs from Russia’s largest natural gas supplier Lukoil and feeds energy to southern Europe through Italy. And Italy is to have a new Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, who is not a fan nor a friend of the Davos crowd.

You see, every action has a consequence and an entire set of new probabilities and second, third order consequences. One of those surely must be that the security of energy supplies to other nations is now being discussed in fancy rooms all along this pipeline, with people in suits and lots of Perrier on standby.

What else?

Well, with no ability to deliver Russian gas, thank Zeus we have US natural gas on the way to save the day… at a substantial premium, of course. Hegelian dialectic at work.

Let me end this little piece with words from that disgusting reptile of a man…

The Biden Administration authorized it (Sullivan, Blinken or Joe himself). Whether the Brits or Swedes played a role is immaterial. What’s next is that the Europeons survive (barely) through this winter, have a REAL tough time in the next winter and eventually pay dearly for American LNG to be shipped to them. The high price of energy will kill off their industries. To America, that’s a feature, not a bug. If Russia & Turkey succeed in creating an energy hub in Turkey (masking whether the original source is Russia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia) it MIGHT help Italy, since Italy would be the conduit to the rest of Europe, BUT the Americans will probably blow up that pipeline, too. The Americans are like the Mafia in how they “protect” their “allies”.

There’s a new Evil Empire.

We must make the change.

After Tuesday, Time To Consider Radical Ideas

The passive and even active consent of the masses to be governed blew up the pipeline.

The Evil Empire is not new, it was just forced into hiding for 4 years by Trump. Remember the Obama years, the Nazi insurrection in Ukraine fomented by the Obama Administration, the start of the Ukraine civil war, the loss of Yalta and the start of hate between the US and Russia that had previously healed the years of cold war opposition? You can date the new Evil Empire to 2014.

“Who, you might ask, is this dude?” Stopped reading right there. Maybe I’m too old school but what legitimacy can you give this writer when he uses the word “dude.” Sounds like an immature teenager.

” What’s Next? ”

A whole lotta’ butthurt.

“Steve Bannon in a recent interview stated it well.

The younger generations today are already Russian serfs. But now with the burning dumpster fire of inflation plus the collapse of asset values throughout the world, you’re essentially going to be debt slaves your entire productive life from the time you’re 30 to the time you’re 74.

And in between, you’re basically going to be like a hamster on the wheel, just like your government, just paying off debt and paying the interest payments on that debt, while you’re paying the interest payments on your car loan, your credit cards, all of it.

So we’re in a terrible situation. The middle class has essentially been eviscerated.

So you take an entire group of people who see no benefit to what they’re told is capitalism (it has long been eroded into a corporatocracy) and simultaneously realise they’ve been told they’re special and that the state not only can but should provide for their needs.

This is a powerful siren call, most especially for a group of people who are disconnected from reality.”

Smart American contractors avoided any involvement with those two export flow lines. Many contractors I know could have made some great money on those two Nord projects. But, the politics surrounding this pipeline corridor were obviously far too complicated, which was apparent from the outset with just a cursory review of the desktop studies produced to validate the entire project.
