UKRAINE WAR UPDATE

[…]

Elsewhere in his speech Friday, Putin characterized the Nord Stream pipeline explosion as “sabotage” which I believe is true. But that doesn’t mean that Putin was innocent either. He was using Russian gas to leverage concessions out of Europe. Putin said,

But sanctions are not enough for the Anglo-Saxons, they have switched to sabotage – unbelievable, but true – having organized explosions on the international gas pipelines of the Nord Stream.

As I explained last week, I believe secret Western forces did this because the Germans and others were softening about sanctions and would have given in to Russia and removed the sanctions—so the Deep State blew up the pipelines to remove Russia’s leverage. This week, US Secretary of State Blinken revealed another perverse motive, quoted at RT.com:

Tuesday, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said it would be “in no one’s interest,” but then added that the situation represents “a very significant opportunity” for the EU to “finally end” its dependence on Russian gas and “accelerate the transition to renewables.”

In other words, force the Germans and others to rely on more solar and wind power by cutting off their supply of Russian gas. RT also commented on the threats to the Turkstream pipeline:

If the TurkStream natural gas pipeline is damaged, [always under seismic threat] its operator won’t be able to mount repairs because the Dutch government has revoked a key license due to EU sanctions against Russia... TurkStream is the last remaining pipeline for Russian natural gas to reach the EU. The Yamal pipeline through Poland was shut off in May, due to Russian counter-sanctions against Warsaw, while Gazprom halted deliveries through Ukraine on September 27.

There are two sides to the Russian gas pipeline issue: 1) the issue of European dependency on a gas supply from a sworn enemy of the West that would inevitably be used as an economic weapon against the West and 2) the conspirators of the West trying to force a “great reset” upon the Western world purposely sabotaging the line prior to winter to force Western Europeans to accede to manipulated economic shortages and false solutions—knowing full well that restarting all the nuclear plants in Europe could solve the energy shortages.

In short, there are no good guys in this conflict, only competing evil sources along with naive and unknowledgeable people in the middle who are going to suffer. Nothing is black and white anymore, so be prepared to learn and remember the most difficult subject of all—the multiple conspiracies to destroy freedom, sovereignty and free markets, and the 3 great centers of conspiratorial power to create a tyrannical New World Order: Western globalists, Russia, and China.
