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.
You can listen to @WashAuthor discussing his findings on Talk World Radio (You Tube)

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"
The SS-750 was used to support the Project 636.3 Improved Kilo-class submarine Ufa (B-588) to place the charges on the pipelines, and Minerva Julie was used as cover.
Here @ASabadus claims the motive for Russia to sabotage NS was pecuniary, to help @Gazprom invoke force majeure to avoid coughing up billions in the courts
505. Malice or Response?
@ASabadus sees Russia's actions not as responses to European moves but as evidence of prior malice
She seems to claim that Ukrainian involvement (Andromeda) was likely "Russian Propaganda"
Reviews publicly available flight radar data and draws some conclusions about US involvement regarding sonobuoys and Advanced Seal Delivery System (ASDS)
"Ukraine blew up NS pipelines, Germany believes’ Sabotage last September has been linked to Russia but Berlin is said to be exploring fresh leads that implicate Ukraine"
512. Increasing Evidence of Ukrainian perpetrators
"The remains of an explosive suitable for use under water were found over a large area in the cabin of the Andromeda octogen, an explosive that is widespread in both the West & former Eastern bloc"
"HMX is one of the most potent chemical explosives manufactured commercially with low shock & friction sensitivity & needs a blasting cap to detonate it"
HMX has a detonation velocity of 9,100 m/s and a R.E. factor of 1.7
"HMX is not sold & can only be acquired by military or research institutions. It is prepared by nitrating hexamine using 70% nitric acid & ammonium nitrate in presence of acetic anhydride & glacial acetic acid"
If the explosive set up (HMX + Foam) as a linear shaped charge was used then the amount & consequently the weight of charges needed would be much less than previously considered possible, thus making the Andromeda op more feasible
"Octogen is a powerful explosive manufactured in Poland, one of the few countries where octogen is produced on an industrial scale, according to original method developed by Institute of Industrial Organic Chemistry in Warsaw" (2012)
"Chief Military Prosecutor’s Office issued statement admitting that in addition to TNT, devices used in Smolensk on the wreckage of the plane detected octogen (HMX) & hexogen (RDX)"
529. Poland's ruling party believes Russia "did it"
The PIS (Law and Justice) has been in majority government for 8 years after the party won the 2015 parliamentary election with an outright majority, and has seen increased support since 2019.
The Law & Justice (PiS) party has for years alleged the crash was caused by 2 explosions in the final phase of the flight. Jaroslaw Kaczynski called for those who carried it out, in Poland & Russia to be "identified & punished".

"Unfolding like true crime, this detective story takes us deep into clashing conspiracy theories & partisanship while exposing the dangers posed by experiments regularly taking place in the world’s biolabs"
"It’s about the future of biotech and the next pandemic. We wanted to make a contentious story really exciting, with twists and turns, that covers the science but with a strong dramatic structure"
