#Nordstream Nothing like a good conspiracy theory in the morning, especially as a gift. Image
The Danish authorities have apparently confirmed that 26 photos of the Nymfen show the submarine rescue ship SS-750. A good reason to rehash old nonsense once again, as long as it makes Russia seem more likely to be the culprit.
information.dk/indland/2023/0… Image
It starts with the observation that the SS-750 had a Priz-class mini-sub on board. Of course, that sounds highly suspicious. Image
Let's note that the Pize class has a cruising speed of 4.3km/h and a range of 39km. It would take her 22 hours to reach the explosion site south of Bornholm, but she would run out of fuel after a third of the way. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_d… Image
That is, the SS-750 would have to lower the mini-submarine, install the charges, pick up the submarine again, and proceed to the next blast site. Obviously, that wasn't the case, but hey, the story is gift-wrapped! Image
Next, "Information" reminds us that SS-750 belonged to a group of 6 missing Russian ships. However, it forgets that by means of SAR only two ships were found without AIS and SAR does not overlook a huge ship made of metal, not even in a cloudy night. ImageImage
"Missing" are the 6 Russian ships mainly because they sailed through the Baltic Sea without AIS, like pretty much every warship these days. So just one day before a US aircraft carrier popped up only 10km from the later explosion site and nobody "missed" it, right? ImageImage
So how and when did they get there? Oh, this question is irrelevant since we talk about Russians. Image
"Information" also reminds us that the "missing" Russian ships left shortly after 00:00 that previous day. "Information" does not tell us that they left 17 hours earlier, when these 3 huge US dark ships cleared the destination. Image
(Apparently they were not even included in the SAR search for dark ships because they turned on their AIS on the way home. Nevertheless, it is impossible to tell from the AIS data how long they had been there).
All this happened 13 days after Biden read the end of the pipeline from his note in the presence of Scholz. Shouldn't the Russians be interested in what US ghost ships are doing over the pipelines? And shouldn't they take a submarine with them? Image
Next, "Information" tells us how exceptionally unusual this morning was. Danes, Swedes, Germans, Poles and Americans rushed in by sea and air to watch the Russians. 🔕🔕🔕 Image
But it doesn't ring a bell to "Information". The Russians go towards US ghost ships, well observed by satellites and 5 hostile nations, to fill their pipeline with bombs. They forget about a submarine that could somehow reach the other explosion site, got pictured...
But what makes these experts think that this action was in any way exceptional? Well, that is the conclusion of OSINT Alexander. He has established that the Nymfen left in the evening to drive in a straight line to the crime scene. Image
Well, there is actually no question of a straight line, otherwise the Nymfen (dark blue) would probably have sailed north of Bornholm on a straight line (light blue). Image
The second point Alexander mentions is that the Danes actually never come into this area and he gets his knowledge from the AIS data of Marine Traffic.
Note the dotted line! Has the Nymfen switched off its AIS? Image
No, according to another package of AIS data, the Nymfen's course looked more like this: Image
The conclusion must be that the data from Marine Traffic is at best incomplete and the graphical representation not really accurate.
So if we are missing as much data from other patrols, then the impression could quickly arise that the Danish Navy was never actually there. Image
Interestingly, "Information" uses more complete AIS data, but still believes that the course of the Nymfen was somehow "unusual" (as another word for Russian). Image
That the course was routine, the thought does not even occur to "information" and Russia-fixated experts - not even when commanders say so. They insist that this incomplete, crudely carved consumer-oriented pattern is "far from normal". Image
And with this fervor they step in front of the camera, tell their viewers in heaven is fair and earn money with active stultification. ImageImage
And of course, the German press has nothing better to do than to spread this shot from the hip under the headline "There were a lot of strange things going on". Indeed, they still do.
ndr.de/nachrichten/me… Image
And that implies another question: what intelligence prompted the CIA in the summer to warn its brother agencies of an attack? ...long before Biden's announcement, Oste, Minerva Julie, Andromeda, SS-750 ... just after Baltops? Image

#DRONES #POLAND ++
What's going on? A speculation.
I know of two ways to combat drones with electronic warfare.

1) GPS Jamming
A drone relies on GPS data received from satellites. These signals are weak but fairly reliable, as there are always several satellites in sight. ...
Jamming uses a strong local signal to mask the signals from the satellites. The aircraft chooses the strongest signal and suddenly receives data that appears to be in a completely different location or jumps around. Image
Of course, you quickly realize that the data is nonsense and can take countermeasures, e.g. using GPS sensors that compare the direction of different signals from different directions and suppress the obviously incorrect data. Image

#DRONES #POLAND
The German newspaper FAZ claims, "NATO radar data shows, of course, that the drones were sent from Belarus to Poland, intentionally." Of course, no radar data was published. And conspiracy theorist Kiesewetter wants to attack Russia with Taurus again. Image
Image
It's nonsense. What really happened becomes somewhat clearer in the article in "Future Warfare" magazine. According to the article, the drones flew in from Ukraine and two "directly from Belarus."
fw-mag.com/shownews/687/r…Image
This is consistent with Ukrainian drone observations, although the drones that entered Polish airspace "directly from Belarus" only overflew Belarusian airspace, but came from Ukraine. Image

#NordStream
The interesting detail in the further development of the Andromeda story is not Serhii, nor is it Yevhen. It is above all the avoidance of any questions about Poland's role. Image
...and, of course, time travel. After the attack on Turkstream failed on September 22, Yevhen U. traveled 1,200 km back in time with a trunk full of HMX to deliver it to Andromeda on September 19. No problems at the Polish border. Image
Image
Image
It should be noted that an attack on Turkstream with divers seems highly unlikely. The shallow areas lie within Russian and Turkish territory. Between them, Turkstream lies in the deep sea, up to 2,200 meters deep.

Yesterday, BILD reported, “Russians bomb holiday camps – they don't even spare children playing.” What was striking about the overall reporting was that no one wanted to name the exact location or the weapon used. Image
REUTERS showed the same images but did not mention a holiday camp or children. WELT writes about a holiday camp but shows an archive photo from somewhere else. And SPIEGEL also writes about holiday camps, but shows an industrial plant. Image
Image
Image
Time for a little OSINT exercise. It is actually a holiday resort south of Zaporizhzhya on the northern shore of the Kakhovka Reservoir.
The front line is about 30 km away. Also 30 km away is the place from where the Ukrainian army has been shelling the ZNPP for years. Image

MOST CYNICAL PRODUCTION
The IDF has officially released a video allegedly showing senior Hamas members eating bananas in a tunnel. And it is specifically stated that the fruits in colorful plastic bags are not from the “relief supplies”.
So where do they come from? Image
It is noticeable that nothing in the video points to “senior Hamas”, no weapons, uniform parts, headbands... and not even the usual logo.
It's not even a tunnel. The room 3 meters deep room has a flat ceiling and is open at the top. Image
There is no electricity and no fuel in Gaza, but the bright light is not sunlight. It's not parallel as sunlight always is. It comes from a spotlight to the right of the cameraman.
So "Hamas" has funny plastic bags and a loud generator running nearby? Think twice! Image

THE BANA SYNDROM
Has the world changed? Have we changed? Or are we simply experiencing the results of all our actions with frightening straightforwardness? Could anyone have predicted all this without being a Norstradamus?

Well, who remembers Bana? Image
Bana and her father were exactly what we supposedly fight against in Hamas - no, in every single Palestinian: militant Islamists. Image
Image
In this case, all the hate and terror was going in the right direction, our media loved it, and so we loved Bana. ....soooo badly. Image
