    As Europe freezes due to lack of energy, Russia nears completion of gas mega-pipeline

    As Europe freezes due to lack of energy, Russia nears completion of gas mega-pipeline to China

    Thursday, December 08, 2022 by: Ethan Huff
    500VIEWS


    (Natural News) The massive East Route gas pipeline project from Russia to China is almost done, we are told, now that a crucial section of it that will soon route gas into the economic powerhouse metropolis of Shanghai has been announced as completed.
    While Europe needlessly suffers through a self-induced deindustrialization crisis due to its pro-Ukraine sanctions against Russia, China will soon have access to all the cheap Russian gas it wants that Europe is rejecting – all to the detriment of the West.
    The 5,111 km (3,176 mi.) cross-border pipeline enters China through the border city of Heihe in northeastern Heilongjiang Province. From there, it runs through nine provincial regions, supplying gas all along the way to major cities like Tianjin and Beijing.
    The project connects with the 3,000 km (1,864 mi.) Power of Siberia pipeline in Russia. It was launched in December 2019 right as the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “pandemic” was being launched, which is curious timing.
    The East Route pipeline will be the first ever to supply Russian gas to China. It is expected to be fully completed and operational in 2025, providing China with 38 billion cubic meters per year of Russian natural gas.
    The first portions of the pipeline will be ready to use starting in 2024, which is right around the time that some expect Western world dominance to be mostly decimated. Once China gets access to all that cheap Russian gas, it is likely to be game over for the West.
    Next phase of Russian gas deliveries to China will route through Mongolia

    PipeChina claims that these forecasted deliveries of natural gas from Russia to China will help the latter reduce its carbon dioxide “emissions” to 164 million tons per year.
    Having the East Route pipeline fully operational is expected to increase China’s energy security and economic development, particularly in the eastern portion of the country.
    The project is part of a $400 billion, 30-year agreement between Russian gas giant Gazprom and the China National Petroleum Corporation, which was signed in May 2014.
    With the East Route pipeline approaching completion, the two entities plan to forge another gas pipeline project via a western route. That one will weave its way through the territory of Mongolia, allowing for as much as 50 billion cubic meters per year of gas to flow into Western China.
    “Meanwhile, the EU (European Union) is obsessed with greenhouse emissions and now buys liquefied natural gas from the U.S.,” wrote a commenter in jest at the stupidity of Western leaders in this entire scenario.
    “LNG is a far worse ‘pollutant’ than the ordinary gas from Russia that they used to get,” this person added.
    Another pointed out that the sabotage plot to destroy the Nord Stream pipelines from Russia to Europe “did not work, unless the blowing up of the NS2 pipes was about hurting Germany.”
    The sheer length of the East Route pipeline, added another, displays “engineering at its best,” seeing as how 5,000 km is “something like two times the length of South Africa.”
    Others speculated that China and Russia had better keep a close eye on these new pipelines, otherwise they, too, will end up getting sabotaged “by the U.S. and some NATO / Euro countries,” one specified.
    “Russia and China treat their neighbors with respect, therefore they get respect,” noted someone else, contrasting this with how the U.S. and some European countries mistreat theirs.
    “The western countries including the U.S., dictate to their neighbors what to do, therefore they don’t get respect!” wrote another commenter. “They have to buy their friends!”

    Russia tried to save Europe from freezing to death

    Retarded Joey blew up the undersea pipeline giving cheap oil to Europe

    Retarded Joey also stopped ALL drilling for oil in the USA

    Retarded Joey will Freeze to death Millions of Americans that cannot work because of Retarded Joeys policy's and stopping all drilling for oil in America

    this will NOT end until the Retarded American people Die from shots or Freeze to Death

    Oh, every home in America is targeted for a Chinese Citizen to occupy when the simpletons self-terminate with the Chyna Clot Shot / Starvation or lack of heating oil to stay warm in freezing temperatures

    I wish you better luck in the next life dumb dumbs

    Evidence In Nord Stream Sabotage Doesn't Point To Russia: Washington Post

    WEDNESDAY, DEC 21, 2022 - 11:59 AM

    A surprising admission has come in a Washington Post report Wednesday morning following a months-long investigation into the Sept. 26 Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipeline sabotage attacks. While there remains consensus that the explosions were indeed the result of a deliberate act of sabotage, numerous officials in the West now say the evidence is not pointing to Russia.
    WaPo begins by recounting the frenzied rush to immediately blame Moscow, which began within a mere hours into the massive gas leaks into the Baltic Sea:
    After explosions in late September severely damaged undersea pipelines built to carry natural gas from Russia to Europe, world leaders quickly blamed Moscow for a brazen and dangerous act of sabotage. With winter approaching, it appeared the Kremlin intended to strangle the flow of energy to millions across the continent, an act of "blackmail," some leaders said, designed to threaten countries into withdrawing their financial and military support for Ukraine.


    These headlines with images didn't age well (The Telegraph).And then comes this admission: "But now, after months of investigation, numerous officials privately say that Russia may not be to blame after all for the attack on the Nord Stream pipelines."
    The Post issued the rare about-face of accusations after interviewing a total of 23 diplomatic and intelligence officials in nine countries who have been privy to the international investigation into the sabotage incident which has threatened European energy supplies going into winter.
    "There is no evidence at this point that Russia was behind the sabotage," one European official is quoted as saying.
    Further, the report indicated, "Some went so far as to say they didn’t think Russia was responsible. Others who still consider Russia a prime suspect said positively attributing the attack — to any country — may be impossible."
    Among other prime suspects and theories, typically echoed in independent and alternative media, is that the United States is to blame. At least one UN official and prominent economist shocked a Bloomberg panel in suggesting this in early October...

    Shocking moment of truth on Bloomberg when Professor Jeffrey Sachs says he believes the US was behind the Nord Stream pipelines destruction. The reporters start to lose it, of course.





    Watch on Twitter

    12:44 PM · Oct 3, 2022

    A German government assessment that was the result of its own investigation has confirmed that explosives were places on the outside of the pipelines and underwater structures, while seismologists have detailed three explosions that caused four total leaks on NS-1 and 2.
    The absolute consensus is that a nefarious actor did it, but as WaPo concludes of the various European assessments: "...even those with inside knowledge of the forensic details don’t conclusively tie Russia to the attack, officials said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to share information about the progress of the investigation, some of which is based on classified intelligence."
    A question that hasn't been asked enough in the wake of the sabotage attack is... Cui bono?

    Retired general insinuates in leaked footage that US is behind Nord Stream pipeline BOMBING

    07/26/2023 // Ramon Tomey // 30 Views

    The U.S., not Russia or Ukraine, is allegedly responsible for the bombing of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines – according to a retired general.
    Retired Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal made this disclosure in a secretly recorded conversation obtained by Valuetainment Media. The four-star general led the Joint Special Operations Command in the mid-2000s, and was later known as the commanding officer of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan. However, McChrystal was relieved of his duties as ISAF commander after his comments critical of the Obama administration came to light.
    The conversation began with McChrystal discussing Russia and its President Vladimir Putin. He remarked: "There's no obvious better solution than Russia. I think Putin ought to go, but there's nobody that I'm aware of standing on the wings."
    A man then asked the four-star general about his opinion of the bombing of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines. The pipelines supplying liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Russia to the rest of Europe were destroyed in September 2022. Multiple nations – including Russia, Ukraine, the U.S., the U.K. and Poland – were accused of orchestrating the attack.
    McChrystal answered that he and his son, who worked at the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), believe neither Moscow nor Kyiv was responsible for the attack as many had initially suspected. Instead, he proposed that the sabotage may have been orchestrated by nations with interest in LNG – Washington foremost among them.
    "My son is the leader of the energy team at DIA," the general remarked. "He didn't think that the Russians did it. He didn't think that the Ukrainians did it either. There are people who benefited from it, and that was people who produced natural gas around the world."

    "So if you really want to get conspiracies, the U.S. made more money off that deal than anybody else. That's because we were huge beneficiaries and we changed our policy. We started providing LNG overseas and, you know."
    Hersh directly blames Biden for Nord Stream attack

    While McChrystal's remarks insinuated Washington's involvement in the attack, investigative journalist Seymour Hersh directly pointed his fingers at U.S. President Joe Biden as the culprit.
    Back in March, Hersh told the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. that Biden made the decision to blow up the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines. According to the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, the chief executive was of the opinion that doing so would give him a better chance of securing a second term.
    "He did it. I'm telling you, he did it," Hersh said. "The Biden game is to wait it out and never say yes." (Related: "I'm telling you, he did it": Seymour Hersh blames Biden for Nord Stream attack.)
    According to the journalist, Biden made the decision in January 2022 to "see if we can find a way to blow up … those pipelines and put [the Russians] back in the dark ages." He continued: "I think Biden also saw beating up Russia as a ticket. [John F.] Kennedy is a classic example. Presidents always did well politically in wars."
    A month before, Hersh published a report asserting that the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines were destroyed by the U.S. as part of a covert operation. According to Hersh's sources for his February report, U.S. Navy divers planted the explosives on the pipelines in June 2022. The explosives, planted under the guise of the BALTOPS 2022 exercise conducted by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), were detonated three months later in September 2022 with a remote signal sent by a sonar buoy.
    One source told Hersh that the plotters knew that the covert operation was an "act of war." Some in the Department of State and the Central Intelligence Agency even warned: "Don't do this. It’s stupid and will be a political nightmare if it comes out."
    Unfortunately, Biden didn't listen and continued on with his plan. Contrary to his claim, Russia wasn't sent back to the dark ages. Western Europe suffered the consequences instead, being cut off from cheaper and more reliable LNG from Russia.

    Nord Stream Sabotage Was CIA, US Navy Covert Op: Seymour Hersh Bombshell Prompts White House Response

    WEDNESDAY, FEB 08, 2023 - 12:32 PM

    Famed journalist and Pulitzer prize winner Seymour Hersh, who for decades was a star reporter writing for The New York Times and New Yorker, on Wednesday published a new bombshell as his first Substack post, prompting a quick White House response
    After conducting his own investigation into who sabotaged the Nord Stream pipelines via a series of underwater blasts on Sept. 26, Hersh has concluded the United States blew up the Russia-to-Germany natural gas pipeline as part of a covert operation under the guise of the BALTOPS 22 NATO exercise.



    Famous investigative journalist Seymour Hersh, Image: Institute for Policy Studies

    Hersh, relying on unnamed national security sources, describes months of discussions and back-and-forth involving the Biden White House, CIA, and Pentagon. The report says planning was in the works all the way back to December 2021, with a special task force formed under the aegis of US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan.
    "The Navy proposed using a newly commissioned submarine to assault the pipeline directly. The Air Force discussed dropping bombs with delayed fuses that could be set off remotely. The CIA argued that whatever was done, it would have to be covert. Everyone involved understood the stakes," the report, entitled How America Took Out The Nord Stream Pipeline reads.
    "The Biden Administration was doing everything possible to avoid leaks as the planning took place late in 2021 and into the first months of 2022," it continues.
    As momentum gained to proceed with a covert sabotage attack, "Over the next few weeks, members of the CIA’s working group began to craft a plan for a covert operation that would use deep-sea divers to trigger an explosion along the pipeline," Hersh writes.
    But there was significant push back within the intelligence community, but any reservations were overcome in the lead-up and aftermath of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. According to the investigative report:
    Throughout “all of this scheming,” the source said, “some working guys in the CIA and the State Department were saying, ‘Don’t do this. It’s stupid and will be a political nightmare if it comes out.’”
    Nevertheless, in early 2022, the CIA working group reported back to Sullivan’s interagency group: “We have a way to blow up the pipelines.”
    What came next was stunning. On February 7, less than three weeks before the seemingly inevitable Russian invasion of Ukraine, Biden met in his White House office with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who, after some wobbling, was now firmly on the American team. At the press briefing that followed, Biden defiantly said, “If Russia invades . . . there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.”
    Twenty days earlier, Undersecretary Nuland had delivered essentially the same message at a State Department briefing, with little press coverage. “I want to be very clear to you today,” she said in response to a question. “If Russia invades Ukraine, one way or another Nord Stream 2 will not move forward.”

    How America Took Out The Nord Stream Pipeline
    The New York Times called it a “mystery,” but the United States executed a covert sea operation that was kept secret—until now


    1:39 PM · Feb 8, 2023

    As for Washington motives in such a risky covert sabotage mission, Hersh writes, "As long as Europe remained dependent on the pipelines for cheap natural gas, Washington was afraid that countries like Germany would be reluctant to supply Ukraine with the money and weapons it needed to defeat Russia."
    Biden in February of last year: "There will be no longer a Nord Stream 2, we will bring an end to it."



    (272) No Nord Stream 2 if Russia invades Ukraine, President Joe Biden says - YouTube

    Norway played a significant logistics and intelligence role in assisting an elite US Navy deep-diving team of divers based out of Panama City to carry out the operation:
    Sometime in March, a few members of the team flew to Norway to meet with the Norwegian Secret Service and Navy. One of the key questions was where exactly in the Baltic Sea was the best place to plant the explosives. Nord Stream 1 and 2, each with two sets of pipelines, were separated much of the way by little more than a mile as they made their run to the port of Greifswald in the far northeast of Germany.
    The Norwegian navy was quick to find the right spot, in the shallow waters of the Baltic sea a few miles off Denmark’s Bornholm Island. The pipelines ran more than a mile apart along a seafloor that was only 260 feet deep. That would be well within the range of the divers, who, operating from a Norwegian Alta class mine hunter, would dive with a mixture of oxygen, nitrogen and helium streaming from their tanks, and plant shaped C4 charges on the four pipelines with concrete protective covers. It would be tedious, time consuming and dangerous work, but the waters off Bornholm had another advantage: there were no major tidal currents, which would have made the task of diving much more difficult.
    Hersh's sources underscore that the order came directly from President Biden's office:
    The C4 attached to the pipelines would be triggered by a sonar buoy dropped by a plane on short notice, but the procedure involved the most advanced signal processing technology. Once in place, the delayed timing devices attached to any of the four pipelines could be accidentally triggered by the complex mix of ocean background noises throughout the heavily trafficked Baltic Sea—from near and distant ships, underwater drilling, seismic events, waves and even sea creatures. To avoid this, the sonar buoy, once in place, would emit a sequence of unique low frequency tonal sounds—much like those emitted by a flute or a piano—that would be recognized by the timing device and, after a pre-set hours of delay, trigger the explosives.
    ...On September 26, 2022, a Norwegian Navy P8 surveillance plane made a seemingly routine flight and dropped a sonar buoy. The signal spread underwater, initially to Nord Stream 2 and then on to Nord Stream 1. A few hours later, the high-powered C4 explosives were triggered and three of the four pipelines were put out of commission. Within a few minutes, pools of methane gas that remained in the shuttered pipelines could be seen spreading on the water’s surface and the world learned that something irreversible had taken place.
    Given that it was Hersh - who broke such well-known stories as the My Lai massacre and Abu Ghraib scandal and has long been known for impeccable insider sources - behind the new bombshell 'whodunnit' report, mainstream media couldn't ignore it this time (in the way MSM ignored Jeffrey Sachs and others).

    Replying to @ShellenbergerMDThe mainstream news media is the main source of disinformation today




    9:35 AM · Feb 8, 2023

    The allegations were quickly picked up by The Times (UK), Reuters, and others - including Russian state media, prompting the White House to swiftly issue a rebuttal:
    The White House said on Wednesday that a blog post by a U.S. investigative journalist alleging the United States was behind explosions of the Nord Stream pipelines "is utterly false and complete fiction."
    Russia's Foreign Ministry says the Hersh report reveals new facts that must be answered to, however, with spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stressing, "We have repeatedly stated Russia's position on the involvement of the United States and NATO, noting that they did not hide it, bragging to the whole world about their intention to destroy the civilian infrastructure through which Europe received Russian energy resources."



    She added: "We have also regularly underscored the reluctance of Denmark, Germany and Sweden to conduct an open investigation and the opposition to Russia's participation in it. And this is despite the fact that our country has suffered huge costs. Now, the White House should comment on all these facts."

    Germany suffers irreversible damage without Russian gas – aftermath of Nord Stream destruction by the U.S.

    02/22/2024 // Belle Carter // 1.6K Views

    Tags: big government, bombing, Bubble, Collapse, colossal blow, deception, economic powerhouse, economic riot, energy export, energy report, energy supply, fuel supply, Germany, industrial heavyweights, Inflation, LNG, natural gas, Nord Stream pipelines, Olaf Scholz, Putin, Russia, transferring


    Back in 2022, bombshell reports surfaced confirming that the U.S. Department of Defense covertly blew up the Nord Stream pipelines, carrying out an act of terrorism against its Western allies in an insanely dangerous effort to harm Russia's energy exports.
    It was reportedly carried out with the help of the government of Norway with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, U.S. Department of State and the Biden administration all involved in the planning. The planting of explosives used the cover of the BALTOPS 22 U.S. Navy exercise in June 2022, during which U.S. Navy divers planted explosives that were, three months later, remotely detonated by a sonar buoy dropped into the Baltic Sea with a Norwegian Air Force P8 Poseidon patrol plane. The destruction of the offshore natural gas pipelines, which ran under the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany to provide Western Europe with natural gas, has caused 'irreversible' damage to Germany and Europe's economy. Related: ACT OF WAR: The U.S. military blew up Nord Stream pipelines, plunging western allies into energy collapse in effort to harm Russia.
    Russian President Vladimir Putin said that industrial heavyweights are now moving their plants abroad where energy is cheaper, including the United States. Since the pipeline explosion, Berlin decided to switch to more expensive energy sources. He added that Western leaders had hoped that Moscow would fold quickly if shunned by the European market, but they miscalculated. "They were expecting that if they don't take our gas, we will fall apart faster than they face irreversible processes. But irreversible processes are effectively starting to happen," Putin said in an interview with Russian media released on Sunday. "Industries are moving to other countries, including the U.S., where more favorable conditions have been created, and where energy has proven cheaper." He also said that it's absolutely obvious that the policies adopted by Chancellor Olaf Scholz's government are "dealing a colossal blow to the German economy's future."
    Europe used to benefit from relatively cheap Russian energy, receiving up to 40 percent of its gas imports from the country. Following the start of Moscow's military operation against Kyiv in February 2022, Berlin also moved to radically reduce its dependence on Russian energy by importing liquefied natural gas (LNG) through European neighbors and boosting pipeline gas flows from Norway and the Netherlands.
    Bloomberg News has concluded that Germany's status as an industrial superpower is "coming to an end" after cutting off Russian gas imports. Speaking in the German parliament in mid-January, Vice Chancellor and Economy Minister Robert Habeck said the country has "lost its competitive advantage."
    Meanwhile, Russia has managed to reroute some of its energy exports elsewhere, Putin said, adding that the situation has proven to be a blessing in disguise, as Russia has been forced to focus more on other industries as opposed to relying solely on gas revenue.
    2023 Paper denies dire consequences of the halt of gas flow from Russia to Germany

    Before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Germany imported a huge percentage of its gas from Moscow and many argued that the embargo would crush Germany's economy but a recent BPEA paper claimed that it found that the effects of this abrupt change were not as dire as many experts feared it would be.
    During a podcast, study authors Benjamin Moll and Georg Zachmann talked with Economic Studies Director Ben Harris about how Germany navigated the situation. According to Harris, the key finding in the document was the effect of the Russian gas embargo on German GDP. Those who argued against an embargo cited that it could lead to a severe recession and a six to 12 percent decline in GDP, he cited the paper. "You found that Germany's economy merely suffered a mini-recession with GDP dropping by 0.5 percent during the last winter, which was in line with your prediction of a 1 to 3 percent GDP drop relative to a no-cutoff scenario."
    Moll agreed saying this did have substantial costs and obviously, Germany is facing substantial headwinds. "But at the same time, catastrophic scenarios didn't materialize," he insisted. "We saw two key margins of adjustment. The first one was that Germany managed to replace a fair chunk of this Russian gas with imports from other countries. So, in third countries other than Russia, imports from Norway increased a lot but also LNG. So LNG in particular from the United States, was imported not via LNG terminals in Germany originally at least, but through the Netherlands and Belgium. So that was sort of on the supply side."
    They also claimed to see a large adjustment on the demand side. German gas demand decreased by a staggering 20 percent, which is a really large number, they said. And in particular for industry, gas demand by industry decreased by more than a quarter, so 26 percent since the gas cutoff in the fall of last year. Households a little less, but still 17 percent, which is a substantial number.

    Nord Stream explosion Sept. 26, 2022

    Blogger Kanekoa the Great first documented the connections between Hunter Biden, Ukrainian Oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky and Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky, which Gateway previously reported on. Now, he presents a revealing Twitter thread on the explosive reporting by Seymour Hersh that the US Navy blew up the Nord Stream pipeline Sept. 26, 2022.
    “Last June, Navy divers, operating under the cover of a widely publicized mid-summer NATO exercise known as BALTOPS 22, planted the remotely triggered explosives” that later blew up Nord Stream, Kanekoa writes.

    On Jan 27, 2022, Asst. Secretary of State Victoria Nuland said:
    “If Russia invades Ukraine, one way or another, Nord Stream 2 will not move forward.”
    Nuland was instrumental in overthrowing the Ukrainian government Feb. 21, 2014 and installing a regime that would oppose Moscow.

    “If you were Vladimir Putin, you would have to be a suicidal moron to blow up your own energy pipelines. 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”, Tucker Carlson commented.

    Delusional German chancellor blames RUSSIA for inflation and high energy prices, ignoring the U.S.’s Nord Stream pipeline destruction

    04/16/2024 // Cassie B. // 1.3K Views


    Tags: absurd, bias, big government, Bubble, chaos, Collapse, debt collapse, deception, economic riot, energy supply, finance riot, fuel supply, Germany, Inflation, lies, lunatics, market crash, natural gas, Nord Stream, Olaf Scholz, power, propaganda, risk, Russia, stupid, US, World War III



    As Germans continue to deal with inflation and high energy prices, politicians are pinning the blame for the situation on Russia while failing to acknowledge the role of the U.S. in blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline and its effect on their gas supplies.In an interview last week, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz tried to shift the blame away from his own government, saying that Germans should be looking to Moscow rather than Berlin when seeking the cause of high inflation and energy prices. He added that the embargo against Russia was needed in order to defend Europe from imperialism.
    He also defended the German government’s unwavering support for Ukraine in the interview with Die Tageszeitung.
    “It’s about defending Europe’s peace order. Russia is waging an imperialist war and must not win. Second: Russia stopped its gas deliveries, not us,” he stated.
    Russia's Gazprom had been delivering natural gas to Germany through Ukraine, and they also used the Nord Stream pipeline that ran under the Baltic Sea between Russia and Germany to supply natural gas to Western Europe. Before the war, Germany had been getting half of its gas from Russia.
    Germany blocked the certification of the Nord Stream 2 project, which would double the flow of Russian gas into Germany, shortly before the Ukraine conflict escalated, and their stance did not change after Nord Stream 1 was destroyed by explosions in September 2022.
    No one has officially been held accountable for destroying the pipeline, but some reports later indicated that the U.S. Department of Defense was covertly responsible, carrying out the attack under the direction of President Biden in conjunction with the CIA and with help from Norway. The loss of the pipeline has been responsible for much of the damage to the German and European economies.
    After losing the pipeline, Germany was forced to move to more expensive sources of energy. Russian President Vladmir Putin has pointed out that the U.S. had a lot to gain from the attack because it bolstered demand for American liquefied natural gas in Europe, so many feel that Scholz’s focus on Russia as the cause of their problems is misguided.
    Germany and other European countries enjoyed relatively cheap Russian energy in the past, but since cutting off gas imports from Russia, Germany has seen its international status as an industrial superpower start to fade in the face of higher energy prices. Vice Chancellor and Economy Minister Robert Habeck admitted the country had “lost its competitive advantage” in January.
    German economy suffering as inflation and energy prices remain high

    Scholz also claimed that Germans don’t need to worry about inflation and the economy because green energy and the pharmaceutical industry will turn their fortunes around soon. However, shortly after his comments were released, Germany’s biggest steel maker, Thyssenkrupp, announced that it would be making “a substantial reduction in production” at its facility in Duisburg, which will include laying off 13,000 employees, in light of “high energy costs and tight emission reduction regulations.”
    The country is currently poised to plummet into a technical recession following a contraction of its economy of 0.3% last year. This year’s outlook is worrying, with the government slashing its forecast GDP growth from 1.3% to 0.2% for 2024.

    BREAKING - Former CIA Advisor: Biden bombed Nord Stream?

    BY PARADIM PRESS



    Dear Reader,

    On the morning of September 26, 2022…

    Four undersea explosions ripped 60-foot holes in Russia’s Nord Stream pipeline…

    Sending gas pouring into the ocean…

    And leaving the pipeline crippled for years.

    The Biden Administration blames Russia, but…

    That’s a bald-faced lie.

    You’re about to see why I am now certain…

    Joe Biden ordered the Nord Stream attack.

    And his mistake is about to plunge us all into Hell…

    >>Welcome to Biden’s American Energy Armageddon<<

    To the truth,

    Jim Rickards
    Former CIA & Pentagon Advisor

    P.S. In the next 75 days, I predict Americans will face fuel shortages, widespread blackouts, empty grocery shelves, $1000 energy bills, drained retirement accounts… and a new crime wave.
