- In mid September before Nordstream was attacked there was a series of drone spotting around key Norweigean oil/gas infrastructures.
- A few days before the attack on Nordstream pipelines there was an attack on the SouthStream.
- In October after Nordstream was attacked there were another spotting of drones in Norway.
- After Nordstream was attacked there was another unsuccessful attempt on SouthStream
- In April 2023 Mats Ljunquist stated that perpetrators planted several Red herrings.
HYPOTHESIS:
=> Could these be before/after Red herrings on the Western side?
Post about drones in Norway is here. Unidentified drones appeared before and after the event and had a significant value in Public Relations management. They could be possible planted to manage public perception of the Nordstream affair.
=> Could these be before/after Red herrings on the Russian side?
Post about two rather amateur attempts to attack land base installation of TurkStream could be found here. Ukrainian linked Russian collaborators were discovered. The suspected attempt to sabotage discovered clear evidence about intentions. Could this be linked to possible management of public opinion about who was behind Nordstream attacks?
These two instances (if true) may not be the final count of fishy planted actions and stories by perpetrators to confuse investigation.
OFFICIAL DATA:
RED HERINGS AGAINST THE UK AND ALLIES?
Several submarine cables in the south of France were cut overnight, affecting the internet around the world. It is likely the work of Russian submarine saboteurs, but investigators have so far found no evidence of the country’s involvement in the damage.
At least three fiber optic cables were cut in southern France on Wednesday evening, October 19, slowing internet access for users in Europe, Asia, and the US. Cloud companies promptly repaired the highway.
According to a report by cloud security company Zscaler, the unexpected cable damage resulted in packet loss and increased latency for websites and applications traveling along the affected paths. The company identified three faulty circuits: Marseille-Lyon, Marseille-Milan and Marseille-Barcelona. Zscaler made adjustments to internet traffic routing where possible to mitigate the issue. Search operations to identify damaged sections of the submarine cable are still ongoing.
Damage to subsea communication cables near the Faroe and Shetlands Islands left much of the islands without internet access. Subsea fiber-optics cables in the south of France were also cut in what authorities call acts of sabotage.

RED HERRING? - STORIES
WERE THERE MORE RED HERRINGS?
- Could Sy Hersh story be one?
- Could the Andromeda yacht story be another one?
- The Story of Russia self-sabotaging pipelines to punish Europe?
- The Story of Russia trying to hurt Europe economically?
- The Story of Russia using energy weapon as a hybrid warfare?
- The Story that Russia got out of the obligation to deliver gas to Europe.
- The Story that Russia is a terrorist state thereby it must of blown its pipelines.
- The Story that pigging equipment delivered explosives.
- The Story that Russia has planted explosives during construction.

- The Story that Russian navy ship with a mini-submarine SS-750 has done it
- The story that Russians special ops may have discreetly laid mines from a disguised commercial vessel.
- The Story that Poland blew up Nordstream to replace it with own pipeline.
- The Story that Norway blew the pipeline to gain economically.

Note that there are no reports about submarines.
Note that there are no reports about remote drones.
Here is a take of a French specialist - post.
Summary:
Mats Ljungquist states clearly that false evidence and stories were planted. This means the SWE investigator KNOWS who has done it and KNOWS which stories and evidence is odd and does not belong to the conclusive evidence pointing to the perpetrator.
Not a single story touches possible involvement of United Kingdom despite Russia accusing them directly and consistently many times. Read here for the Russian perspective

6 April 2023 - State actor involvement in Nord Stream pipeline attacks is 'main scenario', says Swedish investigator
There are certain companies that have certain special missions that mean they could, in theory, carry this out … We don’t rule out anything, but that it is a state actor who is directly or at least indirectly behind this is of course our absolute main scenario, given all the circumstances.
The people who did this have probably been aware that they would leave clues behind and probably took care so that the evidence would not point in one direction, but in several directions … That makes it difficult to clearly point to one actor.
[M: This hints that the investigation is checking relationship between several groups and who knew what at certain time. Then there is of course a deductive logic which points to just one perpetrator - the UK.]
"I don't want to comment on any specific report but I can conclude that many of the hot theories can be easily ruled out based on what we know from the investigation," he said.
[M: Same here, there are many Spin doctor theories, read here debunking them.]
Chief Nord Stream investigator Mats Ljungqvist speaks:
Same singular state-actor suspected on all sites.
Red herrings were planted
"Choice of explosive" excludes many actors.
Ljungqvist really emphasises last point.
Note that both USA and Russia were excluded from suspects:
