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.

469. Archived!

I remember archiving it at the time as I suspected it might "disappear" later

Was the NS 2 Rupture an Accidental Catalyst?

Was the single NS 2 rupture an accidental catalyst that forcibly accelerated a plan to destroy the NS 1 pipeline?

archive.is/tyU16 ImageImage
470. Another interesting thread by @OAlexanderDK

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

This time dissecting recent claims about Russian "dark ships" and taking a closer look at the movements of HSwMS Visby (K31) and USS Kearsarge (LHD-3)

484. More Crap from Sweden

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"

501. Latest Hypothesis of @OAlexanderDK

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.

Details:

Possible Submarine Activity Near NS

oalexanderdk.substack.com/p/official-rus… Image
502. Bias Blinds

Clearly @OAlexanderDK can weave together a plausible narrative using available data & his investigations are fascinating

However, his anti-Russian bias prevents him from being able to dispassionately examine all data

@Erkperk @rwlander @mortymer001 @MichaKobs ImageImageImageImage
503. Russian Reaction to Recent Claims

On the investigation of the explosion of the Nord Stream gas pipelines | Zakharova, Russia, Ukraine



They basically say that their ships were not in that area of the Baltic at that time.
504. An interesting article for several reasons

Nord Stream Deep Dive Finds Putin’s Fingerprints

cepa.org/article/nord-s…

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"

Strangely from NYT..

archive.ph/gaEPU Image
506. Why Interesting?

@ASabadus writes for @cepa

"Center for European Policy Analysis is a central spook/deep state think-tank in Washington, as can be seen by their staff and advisory board"

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"

archive.ph/SAyyE
513. The main update is the use of Octogen (HMX)

insoluble in water, used mainly by the Yanks but available in Europe and Iran and elsewhere

aka Her Majesty's Explosive LOL

From:

info.publicintelligence.net/DHS-Explosives… ImageImage
514. The Power of HMX

"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

nitrochem.com.pl/en/products/ex…
515. HMX Availability

Technically

"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"

Reality

indiamart.com/proddetail/oct… Image
516. Military State of the Art Explosive

Octogen (HMX grade B) has higher explosive power than TNT with an R.E of 1.7

"of the energetics widely used by the military, HMX exhibits the highest detonation velocity, a common measure of explosive power"

sci-hub.wf/10.1021/cg3010… Image
517. Studied by US Navy in 1956 and used since

Underwater performance and shaped charge capabilities detailed:

Punches through 7 inches of steel.

apps.dtic.mil/sti/pdfs/AD011… ImageImageImage
518. Question of Weight

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

519. Further Investigation

Were any traces of silicon or other foam found on Andromeda, along with the HMX traces?

For context:

523. Polish Response today was Predictable

Faced with the claims, the Polish authorities pointed to Russia, claiming it may be behind the rental of Andromeda to confuse the trail

528. According to Poland

"The TU-154M aircraft was destroyed in the air as a result of several explosions"

smolenskcrash.eu/uploaded/Minis… ImageImage
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.

europeanstudiesreview.com/2022/11/07/wit… Image
530. Punish the Russians!

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".

themoscowtimes.com/2022/04/12/smo…
531. Just a Conspiracy Theory?

Not for many Poles

Belief in the theory is stronger among supporters of the Law & Justice party

"During the 2020 Polish election, 56% of those who voted for the Law and Justice believed in the assassination theory"

Short 🧵on Primer & PCR Test issues (Pangolin Covs)

1. The key issue with pangolins and Pcovs is that:

It was discovered that the standard PCR tests used in 2020, and often still used, failed to actually detect many of the betacoronaviruses generously hosted by the pangolins.
2. Unless

The samples are retested with bespoke primers & more accurate PCR tests available now,

We will not know exactly whIch Pangolin (or bat) coronaviruses were hosted by Pangolins at WIV & elsewhere pre-pandemic.

see Nga et al., 2022 for details

frontiersin.org/journals/publi…Image
3. It is unlikely that anyone will do that now😒

However, "they" (I will name who they are later) should, and perhaps in the future, may retest the stored samples at WIV, IPB, SCAU AND GIABR, to clarify the question of which coronaviruses were present in their pangolin samples.

🧵1. Another Modest Proposal

This time for the Pangolin’s Noble Sacrifice!

In this enlightened year of our Lord 2025 I, a humble observer of mankind’s ceaseless quest for health, find myself much struck by the ingenious practices of the Orient..
🧵2. A Scaly Panacea

...where the pangolin, that scaly denizen of subtropical climes, hath been elevated to a panacea most wondrous.

The Baicao Chinese Medicine compendium, a veritable gospel of herbal wisdom, doth proclaim the virtues of this creature’s scales...
🧵3. Humanity's Salvation?

...harvested with a diligence that would shame the most ardent of alchemists.

I propose, therefore, a modest scheme to amplify this noble tradition, ensuring that the pangolin’s sacrifice might serve the greater good of humanity.

Some insights into our DRASTIC investigation

1. What appears wasteful research to you in the present may be of great value to you or others in the future, if it is given the time to develop to its logical end.

Don’t judge the usefulness of your findings too quickly!
2. What appears wasteful or a dead end to you..

May be of immense value to somebody else!

Don’t judge the usefulness:

1. Of other people’s findings based only on your own assessment of them.

2. Of your own findings based only on your own current assessment of them either.
3. What appears wasteful and a dead end to you..

A. May be the raw stuff that new hypotheses and new research directions are born from.

B. Don’t judge the usefulness of your "investigations" until you have given them enough time to surprise you.
