430. Level headed analysis from @jeremyscahill

None of the emerging narratives surrounding the NS pipeline bombing really contradicts Seymour Hersh’s central allegation that Biden authorized the operation

discussing the issues highlighted in his recent @theintercept article

432. The Raccoon Dogs vs Nord Stream Dilemma ;)

Because of the Raccoon Dog polemic, I am unable to dedicate much time to the Nord Stream Sabotage investigation.

This, I will be mainly retweeting others' research for the foreseeable future. Image
433. Another useful thread by @Erkperk

Starts off with a useful summary of the known facts and mapped locations of the explosions, but ends in speculation.

434. Big Updates! #NordstreamSabotage

Days before the explosions, Russian military ships headed for the later crime scene. Her equipment: a mini submarine and cargo cranes.

Summary of Claims

436. Naval Activity - March 14th 2022

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

1. Mainly March 14th 2022

oalexanderdk.substack.com/p/part-i-two-i…
437. Naval Activity - September 21 - 23

20 Russian Ships (Naval Exercise)

Poland & others launched naval exercise Rekin-22

Swedish Air Force S 100B Argus

USS Kearsarge, San Antonio & Gunston Hall

Danish Navy P524 Nymfen

Swedish Navy HSwMS Visby

oalexanderdk.substack.com/p/osint-analys…
438. Note on Radar Coverage by @OAlexanderDK

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 ImageImage
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"

t-online.de/nachrichten/de… Image
441. Bias?

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 Image

450. A critical media analysis (March 8th, 2022)

of recent Nord Stream Sabotage stories in the @nytimes and @DIEZEIT

By @aaronjmate of @TheGrayzoneNews

In Nord Stream attack, US officials use proxy media to blame proxy Ukraine

451. Hersh's Counter Attack (March 22, 2022)

THE COVER-UP

The Biden Administration continues to conceal its responsibility for the destruction of the Nord Stream pipelines

seymourhersh.substack.com/p/the-cover-up
452. Hersh's substack demands subscription but full versions are available here:

sott.net/article/478633…

&

scheerpost.com/2023/03/22/sey…

"information they received originated with a group of CIA experts in deception & propaganda whose mission was to feed the @nytimes a cover story" Image
453. Hersh's new article received criticism



e.g. @PeterDunn_OSINT

"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

sott.net/article/478633… ImageImage
455. They deliberately "misunderstood" Hersh

Hersh did not claim the Andromeda cover story was hatched in March 2023, but rather that the CIA initiated a media operation at that time.

456. Only @berlinerzeitung reported on Hersh's allegations in Germany

with an Editor's Note!

"We also added the following sentence: Hersh is considered highly controversial, some of his research has subsequently turned out to be wrong"

archive.ph/sI0lw
457. Break Time! Image
458. New report in @theintercept by @jeremyscahill

"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"

theintercept.com/2023/03/25/nor…
459. Putin Speaks:

"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"

archive.ph/J1EVq Image
460.Putin speaks (2):

"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,"

news.yahoo.com/putin-blames-u…
461. Russia gives up on the "mysterious object"

See tweet 444

"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"

archive.ph/EvCNB Image
462. Rekin 22 (Naval Exercise) 16 Sep 2022

See Tweet 437

Poland launched naval exercise Rekin-22, which involved "20 vessels from Poland, Lithuania, Latvia & Estonia"

Note participation of:

"sapper battalions, mine-carrying ship, anti-mine actions"

polandatsea.com/manoeuvres-cod… ImageImage
463. Remember the Orzel?

Did it participate in Rekin 22?

ORP Orzeł - Baltic Sea -18 May 2020

"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"

464. Two previous tweets about the Orzel

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).

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.

468. Talking of research by @OAlexanderDK

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.

1. Panama Canal in the News

Historical Perspective

On the many workers' lives lost trying to build it:

Who were they and where did they come from?
2. First Attempt (French)

In the 1880s, the French tried but failed to build a Panama Canal.

They finally gave up in 1889, after years of fighting a recalcitrant landscape, ferocious disease and spiralling costs

AND the deaths of 22,000 workers! .

archive.ph/8FqKiImage
3. From Suez to Panama

Ferdinand de Lesseps's success in building the Suez Canal in 1869 was utterly derailed by the abysmal failure of his subsequent effort to build the Panama Canal due to disease.

Bankruptcy!

800 thousand people had invested their savings in the project! Image
