Lance Migliaccio, the host of The Big Mig, appeared on Pete Santilli Show recently and talked about a number of his investigations, especially shocking was what Mig discovered was going on in Washington DC- NOTHING.
Or at least it looks like nothing because there is a lack of people in the area for some reason. Watch as Mig and Santilli talk about it.
Here is what they said:
“It’s crazy. These people are down there at lunchtime, taking videos down there at this building, and it is empty. Watch this. This was taken at lunchtime there is a timestamp,and there should be a lot of people who are working in Washington, DC in that square block area, right?
I mean, I’ve been to DC and it’s like this years ago, but it was bustling, especially at lunchtime. It looks like it’s crazy, isn’t it? No, no cars, hustling to work on a Monday. There’s nobody- that’s funny,” Santilli said.
Mig jumped in: “Pete. This has been going on for months and months.”
Santilli introduced footage that Mig had brought in from citizen journalists, showing that at lunchtime on a weekday, there were not many people walking around or cars moving, which was very odd.
You have to see it to really understand the situation and how strange it is to see empty streets in the nation’s capital with so much going on in the world.
The two then talked about interesting investigations, including Dennis Montgomery’s claims about elections and other things that Mig was reporting about on his site.
Ben Bergquam, the host of Law and Border on Real America’s Voice, appeared on The Pete Santilli show recently to talk about his exclusive investigations on the Southern Border and what he has learned being out at protests and dealing with the left.
“The money the Mexican drug cartels are making from human trafficking is huge. It’s about half of the Cartel’s income. They’re making billions of dollars, still on drug trafficking. The cartel are overwhelming border patrol at these processing centers all across the US with fake asylum seekers, so they can run their drugs through places like Arivaca, Arizona. Then basically, anywhere outside of where that processing is happening of these hundreds and thousands of illegal, fake asylum seekers we these patterns,” Bergquam said.
More from his interview:
On top of that, we see up to 100,000 deaths last year from fentanyl. It’s the number one killer of people aged 18 to 45. It is a weapon of mass destruction with precursors originally made in China,
Now they’re actually making those precursors in Mexico, but it’s a combination of Mexican drug cartels working with the Chinese transnational syndicates to destroy America from within.
China has separate intentions and Separate interests. They just want to see America fall. The cartels just want to make money. And so they have this Unholy Alliance.
And there is another alliance now between Hamas and terrorist organizations and the cartels to bring their terrorists through. So it’s a combination of destroying America on multiple fronts. We are at War right now, we’re just losing the war badly. We pretend like we’re not, but America is at War; we’re just losing.

The wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas on Sept. 29 met with the House of Representatives panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol.
Ginni Thomas, who was in communication after the 2020 election with then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and a lawyer who advocated for delaying the electoral count, appeared on Capitol Hill in Washington to answer questions from the panel after months of negotiations.
Thomas did not answer questions from reporters, but said she was looking forward to meeting with the panel.
Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.), a member of the panel, said that members wanted to ask Thomas about her discussions with Meadows and the lawyer, John Eastman.
“John Eastman is the same individual who came up with this idea and scheme that a federal judge has ruled was likely illegal,” Aguilar told reporters, referring to an opinion entered in a civil case against Eastman.
Eastman has said that Vice President Mike Pence had the authority under the 12th Amendment to reject electoral slates, but Pence announced the morning of the electoral certification that he believed he did not.
Thomas answered questions behind closed doors. The panel has not released any transcripts from its more than 1,000 interviews, though it has indicated it will release a report and has made public snippets of some of the conversations.
Chairman
Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), chairman of the Jan. 6 panel, told reporters that Thomas told members during the meeting that she thought that the 2020 election was stolen. Thomas also answered some questions.
“Earlier today, Ginni Thomas participated in a voluntary interview with the J6 Committee. She was happy to cooperate with the Committee to clear up the misconceptions about her activities surrounding the 2020 elections,” a lawyer for Thomas told news outlets in a statement. “She answered all the Committee’s questions.”
Thomas was concerned about “fraud and irregularities” in the election and informed the committee that her only involvement was working to ensure reports of fraud and irregularities were investigated.
The meeting came one day after what was scheduled to be the panel’s final public hearing. It was postponed due to Hurricane Ian hitting Florida. Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-Fla.), a member of the panel, represents a portion of the state.
Thompson said he did not yet have a date for the rescheduled hearing, but that it would take place before the Nov. 8 midterm elections.
The Jan. 6 panel is likely to be dissolved if Republicans seize control of the House in the midterms. Political forecasters say the GOP would flip the lower chamber, though many are uncertain as to which party will end up with a majority in the Senate.
September 29, 2022 at 05:19PM ‘Looks Like Atom Bomb Dropped’: Hurricane Ian Levels Neighborhoods In Southwest Florida
Update (1342ET):
One resident told Tampa Bay Times, “it looks like somebody took an atom bomb and dropped it,” referring to the widespread damage across Southwest Florida following the devastating hurricane that made landfall about 24 hours ago near Fort Myers as a Cat. 4 storm.
The footage is absolutely shocking.
* * *
Update (1000ET):
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis told reporters Hurricane Tropical Storm Ian had produced a “500-year flood event” across Florida.
* * *
Hurricane Ian was downgraded to a tropical storm early Thursday morning as it traversed northeastward across central Florida, dumping torrential rain while still packing strong winds across a large swath of the state.
The former Category 4 hurricane made landfall Wednesday afternoon west of Fort Myers near Cayo Costa. Ian unleashed widespread life-threatening storm surge flooding across the region.
About 2.6 million homes and businesses are without power, according to PowerOutage.us. The most significant number of outages are based in the southwest Florida region, where the hurricane made landfall.
Shocking footage yesterday revealed the surge sent a wall of water roaring inland that was as high as some homes. Streets were instantly transformed into rivers. We pointed out last night that total storm damage could be upwards of $70 billion.
Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno told ABC’s Good Morning America that he believes “fatalities are in the hundreds” after Ian devastated his county, which includes Fort Myers, Cape Coral, and Bonita Springs, areas that experienced extreme storm surges yesterday and into the overnight.
Now Ian is expected to enter the Atlantic Ocean later today and make landfall (again) along the South Carolina coast late Friday.

Top takeaways
The Intelligence Project identified 488 extreme antigovernment groups that were active in 2021, down from 566 in 2020. Of these groups, 92 were militias, 75 sovereign citizen, three constitutional sheriff, and 52 conspiracy propagandist groups. The number of antigovernment groups peaked in the 2010s and has declined since, but the current decrease in organized group numbers is not reflective of a lack of broad support or activity. In 2021, the conspiratorial and permanently dubious view of government was pervasive, as evidence by the movement’s popularity on such issues as COVID-19 regulations, local school curriculum, the “Big Lie” voter fraud, border security and various technological advances such as 5G cell service. Antigovernment imagery, such as the Gadsden flag and the Three Percenter logo, was commonly displayed by adherents across the country. Antigovernment groups were linked up with other hard-right groups in 2021, as they often targeted the same marginalized communities and engaged in actual or threats of political violence.
The Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol and attempt to stop the democratic transfer of power through the formalized counting of electoral votes was the most public moment for the antigovernment movement since the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995. Of the over 700 people charged with offenses ranging from trespassing to seditious conspiracy for the actions on Jan. 6, at least 25 were members of identified antigovernment organizations.
Faced with greater scrutiny and deplatforming, antigovernment groups reorganized and were dispersed in communities focused on localized activities – a mainstay tactic of the antigovernment movement. Some local chapters of national organizations disbanded or unaffiliated, including chapters of Oath Keepers, the American Patriots Three Percent, III% United Patriots, the Three Percenters/III%ers, and the State of Jefferson Formation.
Ammon Bundy’s People’s Rights activists held a variety of small-scale demonstrations for individual grievances and organized a series of stunts disobeying COVID-19 public health measures, one resulting in Bundy’s arrest, throughout 2021.
In the Southwest, militias and other extremists set up camps in the desert engaging in vigilante activities including harassing migrants and humanitarian aid groups and coordinating with border patrol agents.
Conspiracy propagandists, including the John Birch Society, found a niche audience with COVID-19 vaccine skeptics, using existing antigovernment mistrust and a historical relationship with the natural-health sector to push the conspiracies around population and government control. Likewise, constitutional sheriff organizations promoted COVID-19 conspiracy theories and refused to enforce health guidelines enacted by their lawmakers. Some of these sheriffs teamed up at events alongside QAnon adherents, antisemites and sovereign citizens.
The coalescing of QAnon adherents with sovereign citizens, constitutional sheriffs and militia members, along with conspiracy minded anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers, has produced an environment where groups can openly recruit and market their ideas to each other and the general public.

What’s ahead
The antigovernment movement will look to expand upon the broad popularity of foundational ideas related to guns, government distrust and conspiracy theories. They will continue to capitalize on the current issues related to public health guidance, local school curriculum and practices, control of natural resources, claims of election fraud, immigration and national security. They will particularly seek to further mainstream their ideas and operationalize their power by running for office in large numbers from the local to federal level.
The movement will also seek to mitigate the damage to their brand in the wake of the Jan. 6 insurrection. Particularly, movement leaders will want to shift the media narrative and deflect legal, law-enforcement and public scrutiny. If historical trends are a guide, the movement could also see growth in response to federal government expansion and policy shifts under Biden.
Background
Antigovernment groups are part of the antidemocratic hard-right movement. They believe the federal government is tyrannical and they traffic in conspiracy theories about an illegitimate government of leftist elites seeking a “New World Order.” Adherents and critics have in the past referred to this movement as the “Patriot” movement.
A particularly prominent conspiracy in the antigovernment movement – and one conspiracy propagandist groups often push – involves an effort to create a New World Order through a One World Government, often facilitated by the United Nations in order to institute communism/socialism and take away private property rights. Another conspiracy alleges that there are plans to merge the United States, Canada and Mexico into a single country. Other notable conspiracies include the idea that the federal government is secretly planning to round up citizens and place them in concentration camps run by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Fears of impending gun control or weapons confiscations, either by the government or international agencies, also run rampant in antigovernment circles.
These conspiracy theories identify grievances, both real and imagined, and demonize groups they deem responsible for them. Conspiracy propagandists offer simple answers to complex problems, but often stop short of offering a specific solution to the threats, instead hinting at actions to be taken by movement members while being careful to maintain plausible deniability. Groups including The John Birch Society, WorldNetDaily (WND) and InfoWars are crucial to the antigovernment extremist movement in that they help craft and nurture the very conspiracy theories that animate the movement’s activists.
The antigovernment movement has experienced waves of popularity, including the 1990s. In 1996, the year after the Oklahoma City bombing, 858 groups were documented active in the U.S. Timothy McVeigh, one of the Oklahoma City bombers, was motivated by extreme antigovernment beliefs then circulating in the militia movement. He was also inspired by the racist novel The Turner Diaries, modeling his attack on a scene from the book. The antigovernment movement of the 1990s, typified by the proliferation of militias, was fueled by a string of incidents, including the 1992 Ruby Ridge standoff, the 1993 Branch Davidian Waco compound siege and the 1996 Montana Freemen standoff. Other factors included the struggling economy in the early 1990s, particularly in Western states, and the election of President Bill Clinton, who was characterized by antigovernment activists as a liberal intent on seizing their weapons. Similarly, the in the last 2000s and 2010s the antigovernment was animated by the Tea Party movement, with both national and local groups mobilizing resentment around the economic challenges of the great recession and in opposition to the presidency of Barack Obama.
The militia movement engages in paramilitary training aimed at protecting citizens from this feared impending government crackdown. Militia groups often engage in firearm and field training, maintain an internal hierarchical command structure, are obsessed with guns and the Second Amendment, and are often opposed to immigration. Notable groups have included the Wolverine Watchman, Ohio Defense Force; Hutaree Militia, Oath Keepers, Minutemen American Defense, Militia of Montana and various Three Percenter-affiliated groups. The Wolverine Watchman were charged in connection to the 2020 plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. Both Oath Keepers and Three Percenter group members have been arrested for charges relating to the Jan. 6 insurrection. Three Percenter groups adhere to the dubious historical claim that only 3% of American colonists fought against the British during the War of Independence.
The Oath Keepers were founded in 2009 by Elmer Stewart Rhodes, a veteran army paratrooper, law school graduate and former Ron Paul congressional staffer. Like some antigovernment groups and activists such as Jack McLamb’s Police Against the New World Order, Oath Keepers primarily recruits current and former law enforcement, military and first-responder personnel, though they also accept civilians. Unlike many other militia groups that are local, geographically-based groups, Oath Keepers has a centralized hierarchical leadership and tiered structure at national, state and local levels.
A small but influential and foundational segment of the antigovernment movement is the constitutional sheriff movement. These groups adhere to the concept of county supremacy and the idea that the county sheriff as the ultimate law enforcement authority in the United States. This idea was pioneered in the 1970s and described as Posse Comitatus. The Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association is the largest and oldest national constitutional sheriff organization. The second tenet of county supremacy centers on the idea that county government should have control of all the land within its borders, taking this power away from the state and federal government. Antigovernment groups who focus on this tenet are often active in the anti-public lands movement popular in the Western U.S., also known as the Sagebrush Rebellion or Wise Use movement in previous decades.
Sovereign citizens, a subset of the antigovernment movement, believe that they, not judges, juries, law enforcement or elected officials, get to decide which laws to obey and which to ignore, and they think they shouldn’t have to pay taxes. Sovereign citizen ideology is highly conspiratorial, and they are best known for clogging up the courts with indecipherable filings and liens targeting public officials. Sovereign citizens are frequently engaged in criminal activity and have been violent when confronted, particularly against government officials such as police officers. Some concerning groups are part of a subset of sovereign citizens termed Moorish sovereign citizens.
The antigovernment movement has also included groups whose focus was on tax protest and survivalism. While groups associated with both segments still exist, their prevalence has diminished in recent years. As the antigovernment movement has changed in the last 50 years, different segments have either grown or shrunk, but the key conspiracies and ideas are always taken up by other antigovernment groups and often reemerge later.
Three Percenters
Percenterism is one of three core components within the antigovernment militia movement, along with the Oath Keepers and traditional militia groups. The reference to 3% stems from the dubious historical claim that only 3% of American colonists fought against the British during the War of Independence.
Oath Keepers
The Oath Keepers, another core component of the militia movement, was founded in 2009 by Elmer Stewart Rhodes, a veteran army paratrooper, Yale Law School graduate and former Ron Paul congressional staffer. It primarily recruits current and former law enforcement, military and first-responder personnel, though it also accepts civilians. Unlike Three Percenterism, Oath Keepers was conceived as an organization with hierarchical leadership at national, state and local levels, one committed to establishing a network of activists it hopes will lay the groundwork for the creation of state militias.
Conspiracy Propagandists
The John Birch Society, World Net Daily and InfoWars are crucial to the antigovernment extremist movement in that they help craft and nurture the very conspiracy theories that animate the movement’s activists, such as Oath Keepers and Three Percenters. These conspiracy theories identify grievances, both real and imagined, and demonize groups they deem responsible for them. Conspiracy propagandists often stop just short of offering a solution to the threats, instead leaving action up to movement members while being careful to maintain plausible deniability. These conspiracy theories generate a sense of urgency in the “Patriot” movement that can lead to criminal activity, including terrorism.

Ian is a Category 4 hurricane packing maximum sustained winds of 155 mph.
Ian’s storm surge has arrived along parts of the southwest Florida coast, including in Naples, Florida, where over 5 feet of storm surge inundation has been measured, more than any other storm at that gauge location in at least 50 years.
Meanwhile, winds blowing offshore produced a blowout tide in Tampa Bay Wednesday morning.
Ian’s eyewall began scraping the coast of southwest Florida Wednesday, including Sanibel Island, prompting a rarely-issued “Extreme Wind Warning” used by the National Weather Service only in situations of the most intense winds in stronger hurricanes.
Winds have recently gusted up to 112 mph at the Naples Grande Beach Resort, 107 mph near Sanibel Island, 100 mph at Redfish Pass on nearby Captiva Island and 79 mph in Punta Gorda. Gusts over 40 mph have been clocked on the Atlantic side, including a 54 mph gust at Cape Canaveral. Street flooding was reported in Stuart, about 100 miles north of Miami.
Winds have gusted from 40 to 80 mph in Key West Tuesday into early Wednesday, where Ian also produced the third highest storm surge in over 100 years.
A tornado watch is in effect for central and southern Florida until 5 p.m. EDT.
Pete Santilli, the host of the Pete Santilli Show, has been broadcasting the trial of Alex Jones- the founder of Info Wars this month, highlighting the outrageous persecution of Jones over his style of reporting- which millions of Americans love.
But the left doesn’t love Jones, so he is being persecuted and denied his First Amendment rights- even as a journalist and broadcaster.
If they can come for Jones, they can come for anyone who stands up against the government machine.
Jones’s trial has been outrageous and shows that the United States of America is in peril. Without Independent media, like Jones and Santilli, Americans would not have any chance at all of seeing transparency in what the administrative state is doing and planning on doing to regular citizens.
On Thursday, Santilli, who was very authentic and open, talked about why he needed the support of his listeners, and he encourage people to also support other patriots- and their independent media- like Jones at Info Wars and Lindell at Frank Speech.
This is from Pete:
No matter where anybody is listening to my voice right over the coming days, I’m going to repeat myself over and over again. For instance, we post on Banned.video that I want to recommend every single person support independent media.
Even if you go, if you say I can not afford to buy any products, times are tough. I understand that right? ut-Imagine if every single person that tunes into Alex Jones tomorrow takes a one-dollar bill and throws it at him!
He has had two million people tuned in to all of his stuff across the platforms; that’s two million dollars. I’m presenting this concept because that’s the power that you have- like right now- Alex Jones your talk show host is under attack because they don’t want you to get the information you need to respond with an equal and opposite force.
You can make a difference in whether or not he stays alive on air.
It can’t happen with a small portion of people. You know we go to battle, the Marine Corps, they get us training every single person in a platoon right? Then we are broken down by Squad, everybody’s doing their part. What if you had a platoon of Marines In the heat of battle, and four of them were willing to take up arms, shove their muzzle down range start pointing at the enemy, right?
And then everybody else is like, well, I’m too tired, or they said, I don’t have enough bullets. When, in fact, if you all had one bullet, and everybody stuck their muzzle down range, you would get further and farther, that’s 100 bullets going towards the enemy the power.
And if we the people are all participating, we can win.
They want you to surrender to their collective, is what I’m saying. They want you to be dependent on them and the direction they’re going to take us; they want you to send your politician to DC and then they co op them, whether they’re Republican or Democrat, right?
They want you to relinquish your power.
I’m saying, let’s take the power back and the power literally is if there were 50,000 people that listen to my voice for this, even one episode.
This one broadcast alone 50,000 people said he’s right, damn it. We have to keep Independent media alive if we’re on banned.video then support Alex Jones.
If you watch us, support us if you have the means to do, we have Angel Investors too who has been carrying us, by the way.
I say everybody in the platoon, right? One bullet in the chamber, Point your muzzle down range, right? One dollar from fifty thousand people. They all said, all right, here you go, Pete, right? If we did that once a month, how many dollars are you out? It’s one dollar bill, but the power and all of us recognizing those and understanding that concept is what I want you to take into your soul.
Listen to Santilli- the ‘old Marine’ laying it for Americans as a call to action. Independent media needs support if you can do it.
Fox Host Tucker Carlson slammed Democrat Joe Biden and his associates over what appears to be his handling of the explosion of the Nord Stream pipeline between Russian and Europe. On Tuesday, new details emerged, and a video was posted by the Danish military that showed a dangerous explosion- releasing Methane gas.
And if the Democrats cause this to happen- no one should ever listen to their drama about the ‘environment’ ever again- because this is likely what they caused/
WATCH:
Here is what Carlson said:
Hate to start a Tuesday evening on a grim note, but one of the environmental catastrophes, one of the great environmental catastrophes of our time, is unfolding tonight. Off the coast of Denmark, the Nord Stream pipelines, which were enormous Russian-owned conduits that carry natural gas from Russia to Western Europe have been breached as we speak.
Nord Stream, 1, and Nord Stream to are pouring millions of cubic meters of natural, gas into the Baltic Sea,
Pictures from the air which you can now see on your screen, show a toxic bubble filled more than half a mile wide, you can only guess at how many marine mammals are being killed right now. Countless but lasting damage to the atmosphere.
Natural Gas is comprised of up to 90 percent methane. Methane is Joe. Biden has often told us, you is the key driver of global warming, which is, of course, an existential threat to humanity and the planet. So if you’re worried about climate change, what just happened to the Nord stream pipelines is as close to the apocalypse as we have ever come. So the question is, how did this happen? It turns out it was not an accident at the very same time that leaks in these pipelines were detected. Swedish officials recorded,
Two powerful undersea explosions. Each one of which was equivalent to hundreds of pounds of TNT. Nothing. In nature can account for that. Almost immediately, the pipelines began leaking in three separate places. So there’s only one explanation for what happened. This was an act of industrial terrorism. That was very obvious to the prime minister of Poland and he wasted no time in saying, so watch my matters, do to you today. We are also dealing with and acts of sabotage.
We do not know the details of what happened yet, but we can clearly see that it is an act of sabotage. An act that probably marks the next stage in the escalation of the situation. We are dealing with in Ukraine, we can clearly see. He said this was an act of sabotage. An act of terrorism. Well, yes, we can see that. So the question is who did it and of course, the prime suspect is obviously the same man who caused domestic inflation here in the US and stole the 2016
Since when Hillary Clinton that be v Putin, The Washington Post, got right to it. Putin, they declared, is now weaponizing. The Nord Stream pipelines, according to the Canadian ambassador to the UN, Vladimir Putin has decided to use quote pollution as an act of War.
Twitter, strongly endorsed this conclusion, Putin did it, and that makes sense until you thought about it for just a moment, Vladimir Putin may be evil. They tell us that he is evil, but is he stupid probably isn’t stupid. And yet and here’s The strange part.
If you are Vladimir Putin, you would have to be a suicidal moron to blow up your own energy pipelines. That’s the one thing you would never do natural. Gas pipelines. Are the main source of your power and your wealth and most critically your leverage over other countries. Europe needs your energy now. More than ever with winter approaching. If you can’t deliver that energy then countries like Germany have no need to pay attention to what you want. You’re in the middle of a war, an all-hands-on-deck Warsaw
And all the leverage you can get under these circumstances, there is no chance you would blow up Nord stream, one or two not now obviously in fact it’s so obvious that even us are famous. Democrat Secretary of State Tony Blinken seems to acknowledge it sabotaging Nord Stream. He said today is clearly in no one’s interest. Right? But really, only half, right?
It is true that blowing up Nordstrom does not help Vladimir Putin. He would not do that. Why would he? But that doesn’t mean that other countries wouldn’t consider doing it. They would consider it. And we know they have considered it because at least one of them has said, so in public in early. February, less than three weeks before the war in Ukraine began Joe Biden suggested on camera that he might take out these pipelines. Watch if Russia invades, that means tanks are true. Crossing the border of Ukraine.
Again then there will be we there will be no longer nor stream to we will bring it into it. What, how would you, how will you do that? Exactly.
Since the project and control of the project is within Germany’s control. Most we will I promise you will be able to do it. Notice how the phrase that he’s the president and doesn’t freeze things by accident particularly is reading off cards. He didn’t say I will pause the delivery of gas from Russia to Germany. He said there won’t be a Nord stream to will put an end to it will take it out. We’ll blow it up. How will you do this? He was asked, I promise you, we will be able to do it.
They thought this through and yet those watching very much including us didn’t take Biden seriously when he said it, this is the president who has declared climate change. The most pressing emergency in the history of the world.
And this is the man who lectures you about using a wood stove, or driving an SUV because of its emissions. This is the guy who spent billions trying to mitigate cow flatulence, because methane would that guy really blow up a methane pipeline in the middle of the Baltic Sea was hard to imagine.
That would be an unimaginably Reckless act, that be the kind of thing you would do if you wanted to start a nuclear war, it would be insane.
And yet in retrospect, it’s obvious, they were thinking about this because Joe Biden wasn’t the only person to suggest it Toria nuland at the state department said pretty much the very same thing. Newland is a lifelong War cheerleader. She worked to bring about the Iraq Invasion, never apologized, kept it going. She helped engineer the coup that overthrew the Ukrainian government some years back. So capable clearly she’s capable of anything. But environmental terrorism, even for Toria Nuland that seemed too much too extreme and
Here she is in January, with regard to Nord stream to, we continue to have very strong and clear conversations with our German allies. And I want to be clear with you today if Russia invades, Ukraine one way, or another Nord stream to will not move forward. One way or the other we’ll stop Nordstrom. Now looking back, those words seem chilling. Eight months later as natural gas pours into the Baltic Sea and in the atmosphere. So you have to ask could the bituminous tration really do something like this.
We can’t say for sure. We don’t know. For sure. We can tell you that close allies of the Biden, White House. Believe, they certainly did. Do it. Radek Sikorski is a Polish politician. He’s chairman of the EU USA delegation in the European Parliament. He’s connected. He’s also the husband of regime stenographer and Applebaum of the Atlantic magazine.
Sikorsky is so close to Joe Biden. He’s got a picture of the two of them together in his Twitter profile. So, in the pipeline’s blow-ups, of course, keep responding immediately. And here’s what he wrote. Thank you. U.s. A. So once again, did the by administration really do this, it’s hard to believe, given that it’s an atrocity. It’s effectively an act of terrorism. We don’t want to make that accusation, but we should tell you that maybe not coincidentally today, a brand new pipeline was unveiled, a pipeline that carries non-Russian natural gas in roughly the same area is Nordstrom’s 1 and 2. This is called the Baltic pipe. It was inaugurated in Poland, it will carry natural gas from Norway.
Through Denmark to Poland and other countries nearby. And it’s likely to do very well. Now, it has less competition. Making sense. What is the White House? Say about this. How are they accounting for what happened today?
Well, they’re not exactly enthusiastically denying responsibility for it. Instead, they’re looking at the upside, here’s the president’s publicist noting that the destruction of yet another energy pipeline, is yet another opportunity for you to buy an electric car. As you all know these pipelines, weren’t pumping gas into Europe. At this time, ns-two was never operational as you guys know, and that’s one has Not been operational for weeks because Putin has weaponized energy.
And we have said this many times before this just drives home, the importance of our efforts to work together to get alternative gas supplies to Europe and to support efforts to reduce gas consumption. Accelerate true energy independence by moving to clean energy economy. Oh, moving to clean energy. Say the people who very May well be responsible.
For letting methane into the Baltic Sea, and into the atmosphere at a scale that most people can’t imagine.
The people lecture you about your SUV may have blown up a natural gas pipeline and created one of the great catastrophes of our time and its effect on the environment. If they did this, this will be one of the craziest most destructive things. Any American Administration has ever done. But it would also be totally consistent with what they do. What do they do? They destroy these people. Build nothing. Not one thing instead, they tear down, and they desecrate from historic.
Choose to the, Attention to energy infrastructure and no one in Congress is trying to stop any of it. They’re just preparing for the inevitable fall out tonight. The Senate just Advanced a spending bill with 35 million for the Department of energy to quote, prepare for and respond to potential nuclear and radiological incidents in Ukraine, what the spending Bill also brings the total u.s. expenditure on Ukraine the war, but also funding its government and energy for Ukraine. 267 billion dollars on the eve of what could be a massive economic disruption here to our economy, sixty seven billion dollars. How much is that? Well, it’s more than Russia’s entire military budget last year and Congress is expected to fully pass the bill later this week with Republicans nodding along like the zombies, they are
Of this. Every action has a reaction equal and opposite. Blow up the Nord stream pipelines. Okay, we’ve entered a new phase one in which the United States is directly at war with the largest nuclear power in the world. Doesn’t mean it’ll go nuclear immediately but it does suggest. There could be consequences if we actually blow up the Nord stream pipelines. Why wouldn’t Russia sever, undersea internet cables? What would happen if they did that?
September 28, 2022 at 06:28AM Tucker Carlson Discusses Nord Stream Pipeline Sabotage, Almost Certainly a U.S. Covert Action Against Russia – The Last Refuge
Tucker Carlson accurately outlined the most likely suspect of the sabotage against Russia’s Nord Stream I and II pipeline today. When you consider the media blitz by Joe Biden’s National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, last weekend (ABC, CNN, NBC and CBS); specifically pointing out the U.S. position against Russia; it is almost a certainty that U.S. action was behind the underwater detonation of explosives to take out Nord Stream pipeline system.

September 27, 2022 at 05:09PM CIA Warned Germany Of Possible Nord Stream Pipeline Attack
Update (1445ET):
German magazine Spiegel said the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) recently warned Berlin about the increasing signs of a possible planned attack on the Nord Stream pipeline system.
Spiegel reported, citing unnamed sources, that the CIA tipped off Berlin in the summer about possible attacks on NS1 and NS2.
* * *
Update (1415 ET):
Prime Minister of Denmark Mette Frederiksen told reporters Nord Stream pipeline system damage to NS1 and NS2 “are deliberate actions, not an accident.”
* * *
Update (1215ET):
CNN’s White House and national security reporter Natasha Bertrand said the Biden administration “is not going to speculate on the cause” of the Nord Stream pipeline system damage to NS1 and NS2.
“The US stands ready to support European partners’ efforts as they investigate,” Bertrand said.
Another CNN national security reporter, Kylie Atwood, tweeted that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said it would be “in no one’s interest” if NS leaks were confirmed as the result of an attack or sabotage.
Remember what Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland said earlier this year…
* * *
Update (1025ET):
AFP News reported the US is ‘ready to provide support’ to Europe after the Nord Stream pipeline system leaks.
There was no further information on what type of support, but one can only imagine it would involve increased LNG cargo shipments to the EU.
There’s only one issue…

Update (0932ET):
Swedish broadcaster SVT reported that the Swedish National Seismic Network detected two underwater explosions near the Nord Stream pipeline system on Monday.
“One of the explosions had a magnitude of 2.3, and was registered at as many as 30 measuring stations in southern Sweden,” SVT said.
Bjorn Lund, a professor in seismology and director of the Swedish National Seismic Network, said these two seismic events were explosions.
Here’s a map of the three leaks on the Nord Stream pipeline system.
Bloomberg’s Javier Blas said the size of the “gas leak is huge.”
So the question remains what (or who) caused the blasts?
Remember what President Biden said weeks before Russia invaded Ukraine:
“If Russia invades…then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.”
* * *
Update (0920ET):
Swedish daily newspaper Aftonbaldet quoted the Swedish Defense Force’s chief of operations, Michael Claesson, who said it’s not ruled out that there’s a connection to the gas leaks and Russia’s mobilization last week.
Claesson then told the paper that the incident was a “military matter.”

Update (0910ET):
Danish Defense Forces published the first images of the gas leaks from the Nord Stream pipeline system near the exclusive economic zone southeast of Bornholm island, according to the Swedish daily newspaper Aftonbaldet.
The first images show a large surface area of gas bubbles in the Baltic Sea.
Here are more images of one of the leaks.
Another leak was reported by the Danish Defense Forces to be 1 kilometer in diameter on the surface water.
This is an absolutely massive leak.
A handful of EU officials suspect the pipelines were sabotaged.

Update (0842ET):
Sweden’s government held a crisis management meeting with other public authorities over the damage to the Nord Stream pipeline system, Swedish daily newspaper Aftonbaldet said, citing comments from Foreign Minister Ann Linde.
Linde said Sweden may discuss the pipeline damage with Denmark later today.
Denmark is tightening security around all energy assets as some European officials speculate the NS pipeline system was sabotaged.

The plot thickens about what caused damage to three lines of the Nord Stream gas-pipeline system under the Baltic Sea to Europe as some European officials now suspect sabotage.
Nord Stream AG, the operator of the NS pipeline system, published a statement Tuesday that read, “the destruction that happened within one day at three lines of the Nord Stream pipeline system is unprecedented … and impossible now to estimate the timeframe for restoring operations of the gas shipment infrastructure.”
On Monday, NS2 gas pipeline and two NS1 lines reported rapid pressure drops, with gas leaks reported by Swedish and Danish authorities in the Baltic Sea near the exclusive economic zone southeast of Bornholm island.
A more in-depth view of the incident area.
Pressure drops in the NS gas-pipeline system could be the biggest signal that flows via NS1 might not resume this winter. Germany and surrounding countries are investigating the incident. NS2 cannot impact flows to the EU because the controversial idled conduit was never operational after German Chancellor Olaf Scholz canceled it after Russia invaded Ukraine earlier this year.
Klaus Mueller, the president of the German energy network regulator, tweeted that the market situation remains “tense,” but Germany and the EU are no longer dependent on NS supplies.
Nord Stream AG issued an outage message that is active until Oct. 26, while the German economy ministry said it’s investigating the incident.
Dutch front-month gas, the European benchmark, was up nearly 10% at 190.50 euros per megawatt-hour on Tuesday morning.
The simultaneous pressure drop of the NS lines suggests some market participants may watch for any indication of sabotage.
Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said it was hard to imagine NS gas leaks were caused by a “coincidence.”
Frederiksen didn’t rule out sabotage, though she said it was too early to draw any conclusions, according to Reuters, quoting public broadcaster DR during a visit to Poland.
A German security official told Bloomberg that NS damage appears to be the result of “sabotage.”
The evidence points to a violent act, rather than a technical issue, according to a German security official, who asked not to be identified because the matter is being probed. -Bloomberg
German daily newspaper Tagesspiegel reported that “the Nord Stream pipelines may have been damaged by targeted attacks and leaked as a result.”
A source close to the government, quoted in the newspaper, said, “everything speaks against a coincidence.”
“We cannot imagine a scenario that is not a targeted attack,” the source said.
Die Welt, another German newspaper, reported the timing of the NS damage may suggest sabotage and was unlikely to be an accident.
Reporters asked Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov if the NS system’s pressure drop could be due to sabotage. He responded: “It is impossible to exclude any options.”
There appears to be no immediate end to the gas leak from NS pipelines, according to the Danish national daily newspaper Berlingske, which quoted Danish Energy Authority.
The energy authority said, “a lot of gas is coming out, so it is not a small crack, it’s a really big hole. Nord Stream leaks can be a deliberate act, but it can also be something else, it’s just extremely rare that something like this happens.”
