None of the emerging narratives surrounding the NS pipeline bombing really contradicts Seymour Hersh’s central allegation that Biden authorized the operation
The above findings were partly based on the work of @OAlexanderDK who recently published 2 substack articles on the Russian, Danish, German & US Navy movements near the pipelines in 2022
Radar target visibility range due to horizon for Danish Scanter 4000 on Bornholm & estimated location of nearest Swedish coastal radar
Coincidentally, North NS sabotage sites just outside Danish radar’s detection range
439. My reaction?
They try to pin the blame on Russia, alleging that its naval exercise near the blast sites was used as cover for the Project 141S Rescue ship SS-750 to use its AS-26 Project 1855 Priz Deep-Diving Rescue Vehicle to lay the charges
This is speculation not fact
440. For example
"Arguably the most important ship in the operation was submarine support ship SS-750. Its special feature: Project 1855 a deep-submergence rescue vehicle named AS-26 with gripper arms that can move cargo weighing up to 50 kg underwater"
However @tonline@OAlexanderDK@JMuellerToewe@janzegal do not pay the same attention to the capabilities of the US Navy ships in the area, nor the Danish Navy, nor Swedish HSwMS Visby, nor Polish & Rekin-22 Ships.
Instead they focus only on the Russian Ships

"13 federal police officers inspected the yacht on Jan 18th 2022..We know Danish police are really smart, did they anticipate the CIA wanting to make up a yacht story 3.5 months later ?"
454. What Hersh actually said (summary)
After a visit by Olaf Scholz to Biden (March 3), US & German intelligence agencies fed @nytimes & @DIEZEIT false cover stories to counter the report that Biden & US were responsible for the pipelines' destruction
"Moscow claims Germany, Denmark, and Sweden are engaged in a U.S.-backed cover-up, as the war to control the narrative — and the evidence — intensifies"
"An American journalist, who has become quite famous now in the world, conducted an investigation & came to the conclusion that the gas pipelines explosion were organised by US special services. I fully agree with these conclusions"
"I believe that it will be hard to attain this (the truth about the Nord Stream incident - TASS), but someday it will probably come out for sure what was done and how,"
"I do not think it makes sense for us to get into that now, since one of the NATO countries, or Denmark, told us they had already examined it, which means the situation is not explosive"
"ORP Orzeł is one of the 3 Navy submarines It can submerge to a depth of up to 300m, has six torpedo launchers with the ability to "erect" (sic) sea mines"
I am taking a look at NATO & allied nations' naval activity mainly because I noticed OSINT analysts are drawing attention to Russian Naval Activity around the NS pipeline blast sites in Sep 2022 (& on other occasions).
What's good for the goose is good for the gander!
467. Interesting thread by @MichaKobs which dissects the claims of @oalexander about a group of Russian Ships in late Sept 2022 & ends by throwing suspicion on HSwMs Visby, a Swedish corvette operating in stealth mode near the blast sites.
1 of his earlier claims that 1st NS2 explosion was likely "just an accident" due to poor welding (which mysteriously became a subscriber only article) has now been well & truly deleted.
About the activity in the Baltic of the Russian SS-750 rescue ship, Ufa submarine & 2 rescue submersibles AS-26 & AS-30, some of which were allegedly operating near site of NS explosions in late 2022
"Mats Ljungqvist does not want to give any forecast when the investigation may have any answers or straighten out the question marks surrounding the central questions"
James Bamford @WashAuthor writes a detailed analysis in @thenation "on the greatest whodunit of the century", pointing the wise finger of suspicion at Ukraine and Poland.

487. Integrated Undersea Surveillance System (1)
"Given that the US has long had the seafloor of the Baltic secretly bugged, with the ability to identify and geolocate passing vessels, combined with the presence of reconnaissance planes within a few hours of the explosions"
488. Integrated Undersea Surveillance System (2)
"it is highly likely that the US knows far more about what happened &who is responsible, than it is revealing"
Bamford should know!
"For 30 years, James Bamford obsessively documented the secretive NSA"
"I worked with researchers in this space - virology + combatting future pandemics - in the decade before the pandemic".
2⃣ One Fact
"The one fact that the last 5 years never readily disclosed is that the core ideology of this community of researchers was fundamentally divided"
3⃣ Lab based creation of super-viruses
"About half of the researchers, including many leading virologists whose names appeared in the news, believed and argued passionately for the lab-based creation of super-viruses and super-bacteria"
Turning and turning in the petri dish,
The scientists cannot hear the warnings;
Genes recombine; the barriers cannot hold,
Evil virology is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack critical thinking, while the professors
Are full of furious bias.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the cover up is now banned?
Lab Leak! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Human Folly
Troubles my sight:
3. Somewhere in Wuhan
somewhere in the cell lines of a Chinese laboratory
A shape with pangolin body and the head of a bat,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its long tongue, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant molested bats.
🧵As promised, here is my counter critique & rebuttal of some points made by @gadboit about the Pangolin Papers Hypothesis.
His theory seems to be that SARS-COV-2 emerged like Aphrodite, from BANAL BAT viruses, possibly with some FCS tweaking & no Pangolins coronaviruses needed.
@gadboit 🧵2. @gadboit claims BANAL-52’s 96.8% similarity & ACE2 binding make it closer to SARS-CoV-2 than PCoVs (~91%) & that PCoV features could come from bat CoVs.
But GD PCoV’s RBD (97% identity) needs no mutations for hACE2, unlike BANALs.
A. “The Pangolin Papers” presents a robust argument for the lab-mediated origin of SARS-CoV-2, particularly centered on experiments conducted at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) during 2018 and 2019.

It is a lamentable truth, oft repeated in the progressive broadsheets and the sanctimonious halls of modern discourse, that the state of our prisons reveals a dire injustice.
