BREAKING: Nord Stream 1 and 2 Sabotaged, Gas Pressures Drop to Zero
Both pipelines have apparently experienced explosions and the gas supply will likely be offline for months.
Just in: It appears that gas pipelines Nord Stream 1 and parallel Nord Stream 2 have been sabotaged. The Nordstream pipelines are major gas pipelines supplying Western Europe with gas from Russia.
Shortly after Western countries such as the USA, the UK and much of Europe became hostile towards Russia due to their liberation of Ukraine, Russia turned down the gas supply down to a minimum. Now, as we head directly into winter, the pipelines have been sabotaged.
When President Putin of Russia made the decision to turn down the gas supply to Europe flowing through Nord Stream 2, chaos broke out. Energy prices soared, governments introduced strategies to force citizens to conserve energy. In Germany, who bought 55% of their gas supply from Russia before the Ukraine conflict (this number has now dropped to 30%, however this is still a very significant portion of Germany's supply that is in Russia's control), government operatives raided the offices of Russian gas corporations in attempt to have the gas supply turned back up to it's previous level. Just picture German top secret spec ops teams raiding the gas suppliers' offices and shouting, 'Where is the gas, people, where are you hiding it? Check the filing cabinets!'. But in German, of course.
Gas pressures have dropped to zero following the incident, and many are worried that any more pipeline cuts could cause a collapse in Western Europe. Experts including scientist Mike Adams believe that Western Europe is standing 'on it's last legs' and any further cuts would cause a 'collapse'.
Swedish seismic stations claimed to have detected explosion-like vibrations, and are certainly not sounds of an earthquake. Both pipelines experienced an explosion, desipite the fact that although Nord Stream 2 was filled with gas, Russia had turned off the supply in that pipeline, and so the gas was not actually travelling anywhere. What pressure remained in Nord Stream 1, which was providing a reduced but still substantial supply to Europe dropped to zero.
The question remains: who is responsible for the sabotaging of the two pipelines? Both Russia and the US have a common interest in disrupting the energy supply, however for very different reasons. Russia could be the culprit, as they may feel this is a necessary step in retaliation against the West's attacks on Russia throughout the conflict in Ukraine. However, one must note that although there is very little mention of this incident in mainstream media, any word mentioning it tries to overly explain the West's innocence, in a similar way a guilty person might try to overly explain their innocence.
Let's break down the possible reasons America might want to sabotage the two pipelines. It is well known by those who prefer to keep their distance from the far-left mainstream media, that the'deep state' globalists and corrupt billionaires want to create chaos. Their goal is to create mass starvation, starve the population through food shortages, and keep everyone 'under control'. And in the end, depopulate the planet by 90%, or 'pretty close to zero' as Bill Gates once said. Whether or not via damaging COVID vaccines or not, they have publicly stated, on multiple occasions, that this is their end goal. Causing mass energy shortages, increased inflation, and through-the-roof energy prices would fit perfectly into their plan, and having people freeze to death as we head into the cold of Winter (that is still as cold as ever, despite the so-called 'climate change' advocated by far left figures and corrput globalists) could also be a possible method of depopulation.
Of course, Russia could also be responsible, however what would be the purpose of sabotaging the pipes, even one not actually supplying gas, rather than simply turning off the supply? On top of that, causing such destruction would prevent the supply from being reenabled for a long period of time, possibly months. However, it would be in Russia's interest to reenable the supply as long as Western Europe ends their attacks on Russia, and possibly provides reparations for the damage caused.
Biden recently boasted how energy & gas (gasoline) prices have returned to what they were prior to the conflict in Ukraine, following the release of millions of barrels of oil from America's emergency reserves. What will happen now? Despite Biden's words, Americans are still paying hugely higher prices than during the Trump administration, and this occurence with Russia's pipelines isn't exactly going to bring them any lower.
We will simply have to wait and find out what happens. One thing is for sure: energy prices in these areas of Europe, including the UK, will experience huge increases in energy prices, mass shortages, and this may result in protests. And all of this is likely to happen much sooner than you think, and last for much, if not all, of the winter.
Prepare your sleeping bags, my Eurpoean friends, things are gonna get a little chilly!
