Guest Post by Moon of Alabama
Right at the same moment the New York Times publishes a shoddy ‘officials say’ story about alleged intelligence about the Nord Stream terror attack the Germany weekly Die Zeit, which has strong U.S. secret services ties, comes up with an equally unbelievable tale of a ‘Ukrainian owned’ sailing boat playing the major role in the attack:
Nord-Stream-Ermittlungen: Spuren führen in die Ukraine
Ermittler haben das Boot identifiziert, von dem aus die Anschläge auf Nord Stream ausgeführt wurden. Offenbar wurde es von einer Firma gemietet, die Ukrainern gehört.
My translations:
Nord Stream investigation: Traces lead to Ukraine
Investigators have identified the boat from which the attacks on Nord Stream were carried out. Apparently, it was rented by a company owned by Ukrainians.
No, it is not the USS Kearsarge, the U.S. amphibious assault ship which ‘trained’ ‘mine removals’ near Bornholm island next to the pipelines just days before they blew up, which the ‘investigators’ identified.

An expeditionary detachment of US Navy ships led by the universal amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge days ago was in the Baltic Sea
It was 30 km from the site of the alleged sabotage on the Nord Stream-1 gas pipeline and 50 km from the threads of Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline

Following joint research by [German main public TV news unit] (ARD’s capital city studio), the ARD political magazine Kontraste, [German public TV] SWR and DIE ZEIT, it was possible to reconstruct to a large extent in the course of the investigation how and when the explosive attack was prepared. According to this, traces lead in the direction of Ukraine. However, investigators have so far found no evidence of who ordered the destruction.
…
Specifically, according to information from [these news sources], investigators have managed to identify the boat that was presumably used for the secret operation. It is said to be a yacht rented from a company based in Poland, apparently owned by two Ukrainians. The clandestine operation at sea is said to have been carried out by a team of six people, according to the investigation. It is said to have involved five men and one woman. According to the report, the group consisted of a captain, two divers, two diving assistants and a female doctor, who are said to have transported the explosives to the crime scenes and placed them there. The nationality of the perpetrators is apparently unclear. The assassins used professionally forged passports, which are said to have been used, among other things, to rent the boat.According to the investigation, the commando set off from Rostock on September 6, 2022. The equipment for the clandestine operation was previously transported to the port in a van, it is said. In the further course, the investigators succeeded in locating the boat the following day again in Wieck (Darß) and later at the Danish island Christiansø, northeast of Bornholm, according to the research. The yacht was subsequently returned to the owner in uncleaned condition. On the table in the cabin, the investigators were able to detect traces of explosives, according to the research. According to information from [the mentioned news sources], a Western intelligence service is said to have sent a tip to European partner services as early as in the fall, i.e. shortly after the destruction, according to which a Ukrainian commando was responsible for the destruction. Thereafter, there have allegedly been further intelligence indications suggesting that a pro-Ukrainian group could be responsible.
No. You do not dive down to 80+ meter for an industrial size job, involving the placement of hundreds of pounds of explosives in eight individual charges on very sturdy pipelines, from a sparsely manned boat. Such deep dives require special gases, special breathing equipment, special training, a decompression chamber for emergencies and lots of well trained people to maintain all that stuff.
This is just more chaff thrown up to divert the attention from Seymour Hersh’s revelations that the U.S. military, under order from the White House, carried out the sabotage act.
Gonzalo Lira @GonzaloLira1968 – 18:54 UTC · Mar 7, 2023Just now, the German news site Zeitung is ALSO blaming the Ukraine for the Nord Stream pipeline bombing!
Coupled with The NY Times piece earlier today, this is clearly a coordinated misinformation campaign.
Was this why Olaf Schultz and Biden met?
Nord-Stream-Ermittlungen: Spuren führen in die Ukraine
Gonzalo Lira @GonzaloLira1968 – 5:21 UTC · Mar 8, 2023Zelensky’s regime can deny its involvement in the Nord Stream pipeline terrorist attack all it wants—but it won’t matter.
Clearly, a very strong faction of the Deep State wants to blame UA so the West can pull out of the Ukraine disaster.
ft.com – Ukraine denies any involvement in Nordstream pipeline explosions
What we are seeing here is a disinformation campaign comparable to the Skripal ‘poisoning’ affair in Britain. Following that tens of ‘officials say’ news items were released that were each more illogical and unbelievable than the previous ones. The campaign was designed to flood the information space with so much nonsense that no one would be drawn back to the roots of the story (i.e. a UK turncoat asset getting violently silenced after he attempted to go back to Russia).
I am pretty sure that soon more will be released about the real perpetrators of the Nord Stream attack. This sudden throwing of ‘officials say’ chaff, a month after the Hersh story, is just an attempt to preemptively divert from it.

http://www.unz.com agrees that it was a 3 person team that used as cover “a three hour trip (cruise?)” that was financed by Thurston Howellsky III.
Cui Bono answers who blew it up.
It was our criminal government without any question whatsoever.
The NY Times has no credibility…. none at all. This article is not even laughable, it is an insult to any person who reads it. They expect you to believe 6 random guys with a sailboat blew up a pipeline 270 ft. below the surface of the ocean.
First of all, this operation would take more than a ton of C4, then you would have to have precise locating equipment and secret intelligence to find the pipelines, you would have to be specially trained in both deep water diving and advanced explosives’ warfare, knowing exactly how to direct the blast to take out heavy steel pipelines, encased in concrete, and buried two to three feet under the seabed.
It would take expert deep sea divers who specialize in diving below 200ft. which few people outside the military are ever trained to do. It would also require complex remote detonation devices that are able to be triggered from the surface despite being at the bottom of the sea. Something no one outside military underwater demolition teams would have access to. In short, it would take a dedicated military team trained in underwater demolitions, and the support of a specialized military ship. There is no way in hell a Gilligan’s Island sized boat and six guys could do this in a million years. Then they want you to believe these guys with this kind of expertise, left their passports on the boat along with plenty of evidence to be found. Ok …. sure.
I expect Hersh will publish some more of what he knows shortly and expose these articles for the obvious lies they are. Hersh tends to let what he knows out a little at a time to build the drama, and possibly to have fun with the Deep State lies that he gets to destroy while the politicians squirm and watch their careers and legacies dissolve before their eyes…..
Actually the deep diving thing isn’t that big of a deal today. I’ve done multiple deep dives to 60 meters, 200 feet, on just regular air tanks. You cannot stay long at that depth for sure, but its not outside of those diving today.
The issues with this, imo, is mostly the explosives and the decompression needed after this ‘mission’. Getting the amount of explosive to the site could be done with a drop and then lift bag it to the set site, but its still heavy work. You def would need to know a few things about explosives and where to set the charges. Which like you stated, would need to have training for, but its a doable for anyone that dives.
The other issue is the decompression needed after the dive. For a dive lasting probably an hour or more there would have to be either a decompression chamber ready or multiple safety stops with tanks available, looooong stops.
You could probably do this with nitrox mix but I doubt that too because you’d need a few tanks and you’d have to not only haul lots of explosives but tanks as well. This dive could be done by surface tender, but most likely not, which leaves rebreathers, military or cave divers.
Bottom line, this weren’t no ukie back yard commando assassins job but def ussa/uk military demolition. Its a story line dreamed up by a paper pushing ce-eye-eh douchebag that has zero knowledge of under water diving or demolitions. But, like all propaganda they rely on peoples complete ignorance and lack of critical thinking to sell their bs to, with the NYTs being the mind numbing blatant liars to top the charts in lying. Even more than joe pedo binden, if thats possible.
We will never know for sure who did it. We can make some educated guesses though. Who had the motive? USA. Who had the expertise? USA. Who had the opportunity? USA. Most of all we know that the people who say it was not the USA are liars.
But the Ukie SEALs had the cojones (and no rainbow division).

“The Orca project dates back to September 2017, when the Navy awarded contracts worth about $40 million each to Boeing, which had previously partnered with HII to build unmanned submarines, and Lockheed Martin to develop competing designs for an extra-large unmanned underwater vehicle (XLUUV) capable of operating autonomously on missions lasting up to several months. In February 2019, the Navy awarded the Boeing/HII consortium a $43 million contract to begin construction of four XLUUVs, with a design based on Boeing’s previous Echo Voyager AUV. The following month, the Navy added a fifth vehicle to the order, bringing the total value of the contract to $274.4 million.”

Chaff may fool the rocket, but it doesn’t fool the pilot.
We STILL Git a MiG on our ass, people!
Russia knows exactly what happened.
Expect a well thought out counter strategy from them at a time and place of their choosing.
Act of War.
Nobody is allowed to tamper with undersea structures except the ussa. Its an act of war should anyone else cuts, blows up, or tampers with undersea cables, pipelines or other structures, will feel the wrath of the empire.
Swedish authorities did an investigation of this nearby incident and, IIRC, awkwardly did NOT release the results. If NordStream destruction had been an amateur act of parrot-head terrorism against critical E.U. energy infrastructure, then why didn’t Sweden report that “fact” way back then?
Why have Biden and V.Nuland (“F*ck the EU”) admit to approving NS’s destruction, “one way OR ANOTHER”? And then act coy about it, oh my, did that really happen, gosh, NOT ME, no sir!
This pitiful propaganda so obviously a bureaucratically delayed response to Sy Hersch releasing his insider info report to MSM disinterest. Otherwise, it would have come out as THE rebuttal within 24 hours.
Everybody, who isn’t a zombie, already hates the NWO satanists. There is no credibility left for them to save. Just drop the pretenses so vassal nations can have their honorable revolt.
my greatest anger is produced by those who insult me daily. their asinine, unbelievable pronouncements roll 0ut of their lying mouths like all will believe their drivel. they are pathetic.
