126 - The Norwegian Defense Intelligence Service assesses that there is no increased military threat to Denmark



27 Sept 2022 - Denmark's Prime Minister on the gas leaks: 

Talk about deliberate actions

Both Sweden's and Denmark's prime ministers believe the gas leaks are deliberate actions, but deny that it is an attack on the countries.

[MRT: So both do not consider them a "sabotage". Following the incident there was a huge verbal information war about how the event should be framed - it has huge legal implications - here.] 

Nevertheless, the Norwegian Defense Intelligence Service assesses that there is no increased military threat to Denmark, says the Prime Minister.

[MRT: How could he know and asset the situation better than the DK secret services and other governments? What did the Norwegian Prime minister knew what others did not? Well, this investigation shows that NOR had key crucial intel which it shared with the USA on 19-09-2022 - see here.]  

Not an accident
Foreign Minister Jeppe Kofod, Defense Minister Morten Bødskov and Climate, Energy and Supply Minister Dan Jørgensen are also present at the press conference.

The nature of the leaks and their size indicate that it cannot be an accident, says Minister of Supply Dan Jørgensen.

The ministers will not say anything about what they believe is the motive behind the sabotage of the pipeline.

Increases preparedness

Defense Minister Morten Bødskov says that preparedness around Bornholm is now being increased.

The Norwegian Defense Forces have had a patrol ship in the area since yesterday.

[MRT: Which ship, when did it arrive there and what movements it had, note that there were many naval operations in the area whole SEptember - see other posts: here

The government cooperates with Denmark, Norway, Finland, Germany and the USA, says Andersson.

Andersson states that on Tuesday she spoke on the phone with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg about the matter.

She says that Norway has notified Sweden of increased drone activity in the North Sea.

125 - Putin & Carlson on who blew up the Nord Stream pipeline


THE INTERVIEW:

Who Blew Up Nord Stream? | Part 1

Carlson asks:
 
"Who blew up Nord Stream?

Putin answers:

"You for sure."

Carlson: 

I was busy that day. I did not blow up Nord Stream.

Putin: 

You personally may have an alibi, but the CIA has no such [alibi].
...


Who Blew Up Nord Stream? | Part 2

Carlson: 

Do you have the evidence?

Putin: 

<dodges avoids to answer>


"In the war of propaganda it is difficult to defeat USA"

...

"He who benefits has done it"

7 Dec 2022 - UK/USA: UK Prime Minister, @10DowningStreet: 
The UK and US are joining forces. 

We’re working together to reduce global dependence 
on Russian energy with a new energy partnership





[MRT: Carlson asks if Putin has evidence that NATO or CIA did it 
but he excludes the possibility that another government has done it 
and that the USA, as this hypothesis proposes, stepped aside 
and either let the mission to proceed 
and/or was unable to stop it.]

[MRT: Exact details are for investigators and lawyers to find out.]


Inrerestingly the Puttin´s message is consistent with this previous statement that the Nordstream was blows up by Anglo Saxons where he states also "He who benefits has done it".

124 - Donald Trump on who blew up the Nord Stream pipeline

 


The video:
12 April 2023

Former President Donald Trump sits down with Tucker Carlson
to discuss foreign policy 
and how the world has changed since he left office.

Carlson asks:

“Who blew up the Nord Stream pipeline?” 

Trump answers:
 
7“I don’t want to get our country in trouble,
 
so I won’t answer it. 

But I can tell you who it wasn’t, was Russia.”


[MRT: The truth is dangerous for the Trans-Atlantic alliance and cohesion of NATO.
MRT: The result of this hypothesis that the UK went rogue,
that the US learned about it and stepped aside - in a shortest shortcut explanation.
MRT: There could be legal issues for the USA if they learned about the planned sabotage/terrorist act and let it happen without stopping. Exact details are up to lawyers and investigators.]

29 Sept 2022 - USA: Trump warns sabotage of Nord Stream pipelines could lead to war

“Everyone is talking about the big hurricane barrelling into Florida, as they should be, but perhaps a far more important event in the longer term was the announcement that the Nord Stream I & II Pipelines out of Russia (which I brought to the World’s attention as President when I explained how crippling reliance on it could be for Germany and other parts of Europe. Everybody laughed at the time, but they are not laughing anymore!) has been SABOTAGED. This could lead to major escalation, or War!” the Republican billionaire tycoon wrote.

123 - Russian-linked Nord Stream files claim after 2022 blast

 February 

I monitor Nordstream related news daily, several times a day. - 

Yesterday the X/twitter came with this news:

20 Feb 2024 - After the two-year anniversary of #Russia's heinous invasion of #Ukraine, Russian-state dominated #NordStream has sued its insurers @LloydsofLondon and @ArchInsInt after its pipelines were suspiciously destroyed in 2022.

[MRT: Nordstream AG is owned 51% by Gazprom, 49% is by consortium of GER, AUT, FRA and DUT companies. The Nordstream 2 AG is fully owned subsidiary of Gazprom where 49% of equity is in the form of loan by the same companies as NS1. Both are incorporated in Zug Switzerland. Was the attack against a SUI companies? SUI did not attend UN meeting, did not rise concerns. Who has jurisdiction to the case? Gazprom is majority owed by RU state but rest is other investors, pension funds etc. IF the crime is connected to the Ukrainian war and IF it was done by a Western state as to prevent Russia to get income then, if found guilty, the claim will be astronomical. The definition of what the event was is very important. Read my post bellow.]

The tweet points to this article: "Russian-linked Nord Stream files claim after 2022 blast" which is unfortunately behind a paywall. 

"The consortium behind Nord Stream, which runs a network of pipelines under the Baltic Sea between Russia and Germany, has moved to sue its insurers Lloyds and Arch Insurance."


Additional information:

"@LloydsOfLondon and @MunichRe insured Nord Stream 2 and Gazprom’s insurance arm SOGAZ."

Here is short intro about SOGAZ: wikipedia


19 February 2024 - Nord Stream AG v. Lloyd's Insurance Company S.A. and another


(via Erkperk who found this case nr.)







QUESTIONS:

  • Did the SWE decision not to pursue the case due to no jurisdiction opened the door for the claim?

  • What is the definition of the case? Was it sabotage, terrorist act, armed attack?

  • Will the case be open to public or is it going to be behind closed doors settlement?

122 - Sweden announces it lacks jurisdiction in the Nordstream case

The jurisdiction issue explored

Swedish officials claim that they “lacked jurisdiction” to reveal what happened and have now handed their evidence to German investigators.

“We have a picture of what has happened, and what that picture consists of we cannot go into more detail, but it leads to the conclusion that we do not have jurisdiction,” Swedish Public Prosecutor Mats Ljungqvist told Reuters. “It is not Sweden’s task to continue this investigation.”

Sweden may lack jurisdiction over the explosions in its exclusive economic zone (EEZ) for several reasons:

1. International Law: Sweden may have determined that under international law, jurisdiction over the incidents falls under the principle of flag state jurisdiction

This principle dictates that the state whose flag the vessel carrying out the activities was flying has primary jurisdiction. Since the Nordstream pipelines are a joint project involving multiple countries, and the explosions were likely caused by a state actor, jurisdiction may fall to the state(s) whose flags the vessels involved in the explosions were flying.

This principle dictates that the flag state has jurisdiction to regulate, investigate, and prosecute incidents that occur on board its flagged vessels, regardless of where the vessel is located in international waters or the exclusive economic zones of other countries

The principle of flag state jurisdiction is primarily associated with ships and maritime vessels, but it can also extend to other assets such as offshore installations, pipelines, seabed cables, and similar structures. 

2. Multinational Ownership: The Nordstream 1 AG pipelines are jointly owned by Russia, Germany, the Netherlands, and France, with Russia owning 51% and the other countries collectively owning 49%. The Nordstream 2 AG is a daughter company of Russian Gazprom in which same states companies as in NS1 provided loans in the amount of 49%. 

Given this multinational ownership, determining jurisdiction may require agreement among all involved parties or may default to the flag state principle mentioned earlier.

3. Political Considerations: Sweden may also consider the geopolitical implications of asserting jurisdiction over incidents involving state actors from other countries. 

In this scenario, where the likely perpetrator is believed to be Britain, Sweden may not want to escalate tensions or become embroiled in a diplomatic dispute by asserting jurisdiction without clear legal grounds.

4. Limited Scope of Jurisdiction: Even though the explosions occurred within Sweden's (and Danish) EEZs, the scope of Sweden's jurisdiction may be limited to certain types of offenses or activities explicitly outlined in international law or domestic legislation

If the explosions do not fall within these defined parameters, Sweden may lack the legal authority to investigate or prosecute the incidents.


Overall, Sweden's announcement that they lack jurisdiction over the explosions in their EEZ may stem from a combination of legal principles, multinational ownership of the pipelines, political considerations, and the limited scope of their jurisdiction under international law.

121 - Hersh´s claim vs Hard data - and - Mortymer´s Nordstream hypothesis recap


Just read and see...

This post compares Seymour Hersh´s claim to my data-set.
Each his main point is debunked or explained.

The 2nd part sorts my investigation into logical groups.
The master data sheet will not be publicly available.
Researchers and journalists can request private access (on Patreon).
For contacting me use my twitter account (see bio).

(AS ALWAYS: Simple graphics,
all data is properly dates with links to sources
red - important, blue - own input)


The core of the Hersh´s claim is:

  1. Biden´s administration has planned how to take down Nordstream pipelines very early in 2022
  2. Biden himself admitted they will take them down if Russia enters Ukraine
  3. Explosives were planted during NATO´s Baltops naval exercise
  4. Guilty is the Kaersarge group with Norweigean minehunters 
  5. Norway was active participant
  6. US Poseidon 8 plane dropped a buoy which remotely triggered charges
  7. Nuland and her pile of rusting junk metal statement  

EACH single point commented:

  1. Biden´s administration has planned how to take down Nordstream pipelines very early in 2022
    -> This data-set does not support such finding AND no such data to support this were found.
    -> There is no evidence of political positioning of USA for it to execute the mission, actually the opposite. The USA, after the 19-09-2022 tried to de-escalate the crisis to prevent war - here.
    -> The USA closed in 2021 "Merkel´s deal" that if Russia enters Ukraine the NS2 will not be certified - here and here
    -> The UK, after Brexit, lost all legal ways how to stop Russian energy expansion - here
    -> The UK was voicing very much for EU to stop course of its energy policy - here
    -> There is no evidence of USA other naval forces getting into position would the crisis get out of hand, the USA actually left Baltic sea on 21-22-09-2022 due to risk to its own security - here
    -> This data set shows that the USA was actually supporting Germany in protecting pipelines since Baltops exercises - here
    -> The USA actually found out about the danger to Nordstream and warned its allies in June,
    The release of this news was 27-09-2022 as a part of PR after the USA left Baltic sea - here
    ->The ONLY data I found about US divers was here - US-UK training mission in Florida

  2. Biden himself admitted they will take them down, unspecified answer how
    -> Biden spoke ONLY about Nordstream 2, the prime target was the NS1: video here
    -> Listen carefully, he describes the Merkel´s deal he just re-signed with GER new chancellor Scholz. He clearly states the condition "IF Russia does X then..." which means that NS2 will not get the certification and that is what happened, both countries kept their promise - here.
    -> This investigation shows that Biden and Scholz were re-signing Merkel´s deal herehere
    -> Biden originally allowed NS2 in June 2021, for USA it is not an issue of national security but is for the UK as many time stated here and here.
    -> Note that USA understood well that GER needs energy diversification and was ok with NS1 but was against over-reliance of its key ally on Russia - here
    -> Compare this with what was the official narrative of the UK and specially Truss narrative here


  3. Explosives were planted during NATO´s Baltops naval exercise
    -> This claim looks very odd. The remote trigger by passing plane by dropping a sono-buoy with the timer to be still postponed allowing deniability? Yet planes have trackers - here.
    -> The more complex the operation is the higher risk something could go wrong.
    -> Several experts e.g. FRA navy deep diver, or DK navy experts point to sub-surface approach - here and here.

    -> This investigation has found a evidence of several states having hydro-acoustic data about submarine/mini-submarine/large submersible-drone operating in the area from 19-25 September. 
    -> All September naval exercises included anti-submarine part, there were several ASW helicopters staying long in the area flying in paths resembling anti-submarine operation.
    -> It is possible that the claim has been created in order to allow explanation of possible sono-buoy if found. Exercises: POL+POR, GER+LIT+FRA+FIN, SWE.
    -> The mission to attack Nordstream was highly complex in contested area under constant surveillance of several states, surface approach would be very risky - here
    -> Large navies do have very high-end capabilities and well trained deep divers who are accustomed to work under stress. They exercise different options, e.g. being left on the open sea. There is no point to use low tech on high end target in nofailure-allowed type of mission here
    -> The closer to the 26-09-2022 the better chance of concealment - here
    -> The longer time from the 26-09-2022 the higher risk of discovery - here
    -> The window of opportunity is from 17 July 2022 when Nordstream run internal (pigging) and external (visual) checks due to yearly maintenance. It is done by 3rd independent parties and is required for re-insurance. Explosives/charges could be found 


  4. Guilty is the Kaersarge group with Norweigean minehunters 
    -> Norway was not the country to blame but the country which found out the UK´s plan - here.
    -> Norway (PM Støre and Defence minister Gram) actually warned both USA and its EU allies. The USA informed France and Germany that the area is unsafe for them and that they need to takeover the security of the pipeline the USA was anyway against - here
    -> As a result of Russian nuclear positioning - here and snap Russian anti submarine exercise - here - was conducted near future blast. 


    -> Is the USA culpable? My data-set does not support such data but this investigation shows that it was the UK who planned and executed the mission. The USA left the Baltic sea and started to de-escalate worrying that the crisis could  grow into next European war and possibly in the worse case scenario even a nuclear exchange.


  5. Norway was active participant and wanted to gain large profit

    -> Norway was actually announcing willingness to lower energy exports and domestic prices were too high, their largest customer is the UK whose competitiveness could be effected - here
    -> Norway actually blew a whistle on 19-09-2022 as their security seemed to learn the plans of Truss government - here
    -> Here are more details about the NOR not trusting NATO security and signing separate bilateral defence treaty with the USA just before the Nordstream is hit - here


  6. US Poseidon 8 plane dropped a buoy which remotely triggered charges
    -> This data based investigation is elegantly able to explain the Poseidon P-8 flight from Iceland - here
    -> The USA after finding out about the impending UK´s rogue attack on Nordstream (and perhaps other diversions) was feeling insecure and closed direct bileteral defence agreement just before the Nordstream happened - here. The USA started to feel also uneasy and the crisis as deepening. Putin and his advisors made statements that Russia will protect its territory with weapons. Gazprom is 51% owned by Russian state and Nordstream 2 AG is a doughter company fully owned by Gazprom, incorporated in Switzerland. 
    -> This data based investigation is elegantly able to explain Sikorski moment - here

  7. Nuland and her pile of rusting junk metal at the bottom of the sea statement
    -> The USA acted opportunistically - UK had a diplomatic mission to USA shortly before, during and after the mission. First on unofficial level, then on deeper - meetings were held.
    -> It is unclear how and when exactly the UK informed USA or whether the USA asked the UK about their plans. The special relationship pause hints to USA not agreeing first with the mission.
    -> There was a political split between the US-UK governments and the "special relationship" was even put to pause until it is clarified what was going.
    -> Data point that UK officials arrived to Norfolk on 20-09-2022 one day after NOR warning.
    -> More research is necessary to find out who knew what and how things were managed.
SUMMARY:


This investigation runs from 27-09-2022  
 In early October 2022 I realized a UK submarine S-120 Ambush 
just returned to its home port Faslane in Scotland. 
It was visited by a UK Defense Minister, 
He visited submariners in the sub, not in some meeting room. 
  

I asked  DoD shortly after:
 
I made a brief about the Nordstream listing known facts 
It included a thesis that the UK was the only country 
which could be culpable of the deed:
Like many discussed ad nauseum, my claim had head and heels. 
People like the data I found and shared, wanted more. So I started the blog. 
In January 2023 a friend asked me to contact investigative journalists. 
After appeal by another one I did contacted Larrisa Ward. 
This was before Hersh came with his story.
