Blotty I wonder what is it in the history of unprovoked invasions of other countries, international assassinations, overturning elections in other countries, installing puppet regimes, and now open financial, logistical, and technical support for genocide in Gaza and the murder of tens of thousands of children, that makes you conclude the United States would draw the line at blowing up a Russian pipeline?

Somewhat related, I asked ChatGPT who blew up Nordstream 2. This is what I got:
If I had to bet, I’d say Western-aligned actors (most likely the U.S. or a NATO-friendly nation) were behind it, directly or indirectly.
Why?
- Motive – Who Benefits?
- Russia? Blowing up its own pipeline doesn’t make strategic sense. They could have simply turned off the gas, which they had already done in retaliation for sanctions.
- U.S. & NATO? The U.S. had long opposed Nord Stream 2, as it increased Europe’s dependence on Russian gas. In early 2022, Biden openly said:
- "If Russia invades Ukraine, then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it."
- Ukraine & Poland? They had a strong interest in stopping Russian gas from flowing to Germany, as it reduced their geopolitical leverage.
- Capabilities – Who Could Do It?
- The attack involved highly sophisticated underwater explosives, likely placed by professional divers or drones.
- The location (80m underwater in the Baltic Sea) suggests a state-level actor with naval expertise.
- The U.S. and NATO regularly conduct naval operations in the Baltic—including near the explosion site.
- Investigations – Suspicious Lack of Transparency
- Germany, Sweden, and Denmark investigated but did not release conclusive findings, fueling suspicions.
- Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh reported that U.S. Navy divers planted the explosives under the cover of NATO drills (though the report has been contested).
Most Likely Culprits (Ranked Probability)
- U.S. (with or without help from allies) – ~60-75% probability
- The most vocal opponent of Nord Stream 2 and had the means/motive.
- Likely saw it as a way to cripple Russia’s leverage over Europe.
- Ukraine or Poland (with Western backing) – ~20-30% probability
- Both had strong motives and could have been assisted by NATO intelligence.
- Russia – ~5-10% probability
- Highly unlikely, as they lost leverage and revenue from the pipeline.
- If they wanted to sabotage their own gas sales, why not just close the valves?
Final Verdict
On balance, a U.S.-led or NATO-linked operation seems the most plausible, whether done directly or through proxies like Poland or Ukraine. Given the strategic benefits to Western interests, it’s unlikely we’ll ever get a full admission.

Jeffrey Sachs is one of the voices of reason in an age of insanity. I also like John Mearsheimer, Richard Medhurst, Norman Finkelstein, Judge Nepolitano, Aaron Mate, Max Blumenthal, Katie Halper, Ilan Pappé, and Whitney Webb to name some of the very few still talking sense.

Well don’t go crazy, I mean they probably fetch around $30 to $50 which seems a high price to me for what it is. Apparently some people must buy it out of nostalgia believe it or not!

If you’ve got any copies of the orange Bible Stories book they are strangely valuable for a publication that isn’t so old.

Watchtower July 2025
by St George of England ini just saw the new wt is up and available.
the cover picture looks to me like the one that should have been used on the august 2024 wt but was pulled at the last minute and released with a different picture many weeks later.
someone on here uploaded a low res version of the picture last year.. of course we all know why the picture was pulled in the first place........ george.

I see, so originally it was as if the angels were telling the sister to stop shunning and go talk to the disfellowshipped sister. Wow. Weird.
Still lots of questions, like why does the husband look like he’s unaware? Are only sisters sensitive to promptings from angels not to shun.

Recycling photos. The original , if you forgot, was shunning your daughter-especially under the thumb if your spiritual husband
Was the picture used before like that? Was it minus the angels?

I guess the implication is that the photo depicts a sister deciding to go back and talk to a disfellowshipped person and they chickened out of using it as the cover for the Watchtower about talking to disfellowshipped people. But the description of the photo in the Watchtower makes more sense:
A couple have just finished public witnessing. On their way home, the sister sees a woman who seems distressed. The sister realizes that the angels can direct us to those who may be searching for spiritual help. She feels moved to speak consolingly to the woman (See paragraph 8)

This post is a mystery to me. I can’t find July 2025 Watchtower anywhere on the website. The latest I can find is May 2025. And you say we all know why the image was pulled in August 2024, but I’ve got no idea about that. Will you enlighten us (or me at least)?
