Ukraine's government is trying to deny a Wall Street Journal report this week that Kyiv (Kiev) approved a plan to blow up the Russian-owned Nord Stream pipelines in 2022.
I approved it, but I tried to change my mind. Then we did it.
According to the credible newspaper, a crew of Ukrainian civilians and active-duty soldiers used a rented yacht to reach the pipelines, which deliver Russian natural methane gas to Germany via the Baltic Sea; they then used explosives to sever three of the four pipelines, putting many in the cold, doing great harm to world's environment, and raising prices of European energy.
This comes as Poland says it was unable to carry out a German arrest warrant for a new suspect in its investigation into the Nord Stream attack, a 44-year-old Ukrainian diving professional who is alleged to have attached explosive charges to the pipelines.
Polish authorities say the suspect fled to Ukraine in July. For more on the investigation, DN! speaks with German journalist Holger Stark, deputy editor-in-chief and head of the investigative team at _Die Zeit_, who has been reporting on the Nord Stream attack for years.

Kill Navalny? Tucker! He took a walk
Who does Tucker Carlson think he is talking first to Pres. Vladimir Putin or ex-Pres. D. John Trump? An American.
Americans used to be free, at least in principle if not in practice, of talking to world leaders and hearing them speak for themselves. But we no longer need that. The mainstream media narrative is all we need. Genocide Joe will save us, with his trusty sidekick Kamala Harris.
I could make love to you better than Bill. - Vlad!
The DNC will save us by choosing a better pair to replace these two in the coming election. How hard would it be to convict criminal Trump if it really wanted to? Ninety cases against him, and they can't make anything stick?
How corrupt is our one-party system with two wings, left and right? It is so corrupt that we have an endless-war economy and young people, not knowing this, keep protesting. General Electric, Boeing, Meta (Facebook), Tesla, Space X (X, Twitter), McDonald Douglas, Monsanto Corporation (now a subsidiary or wholly owned by Bayer Pharmaceutical)...depend on war and government contracts.
Femen and Pussy Riot are Western imperialist plots by your CIA against me and my rule.
.
The mainstream media, owned by about 15 billionaires, is very interested in backing the CIA and White House. There shall be ONE narrative, and thou shalt not question it.
So if one really wants to know what's going on and why, one must question it -- even if it makes leftist comedian Jimmy Dore sound like a right-wing nut or sympathizer.
We have been lied to, we are being lied to, so let us hear all sides to decide what is and isn't true. Trump is terrible, a horrible person, and arguably Biden is worse, just less offensive.
Biden is a child molester (lust more suggestive of a ghoul inhabiting him than his own pizza-loving predilections), a warmonger, a senile senior citizen with body doubles who each behave erratically, and he must be possessed by "walk ins" controlling him and the economy and foreign policy because he is robotic and completely out of it.
(This last point about possession is what we surmise, given that it happens to many world leaders who are allowed to lead in name only, often as members of royal bloodlines that are easier for preternatural unseen forces to control. Of course, anyone who believes this is "crazy" and must be completely out of it. Ask David Icke, Jordan Peterson, Jeff Rense, Coast to Coast, Steve Quayle, or anyone else who dares to insert an occult or supernatural explanation into current events. The bigger picture is strange, very strange, like the new documentary on missing children housed in massive tunnels under New York. Balderdash! Without looking at the testimony or evidence, we simply dismiss this possibility out of hand because it's too horrible to think about, but it wouldn't be the first time someone said such things are going on. Who knows? But we're keen to listen, investigate, and make up our own mind, unlike most of the electorate that would seem to be content to have the corporate news deciding what is and isn't plausible, possible, and palatable).

Rescuers break through to trapped India miners in Uttarakhand | BBC News
(BBC News) Nov. 28, 2023: Rescuers in India say they have broken through to 41 workers who have been trapped in a tunnel in the Indian state of Uttarakhand since November 12, 2023. The miners became stuck after a landslide nearby brought down a mountain of debris, trapping them. They are expected to be [and have now been successfully] extracted one by one via a 90cm diameter pipe inserted through the rubble of the collapsed tunnel. #India#Uttarakhand#BBCNews. BBC is a British public broadcast service.
How ‘rat miners’ rescued India tunnel workers
(South China Morning Post) Nov. 28, 2023: Indian rescuers pulled out all 41 workers trapped inside a collapsed tunnel in the Indian Himalayas with some help from a group of people who do so-called "rathole mining," which is effectively banned in the country. Authorities tapped the “rat miners” for help when heavy machinery broke down during a rescue operation that had dragged on for more than two weeks. For more on this: sc.mp/ltfe.

At Minute 18:00, a Navajo father comes to the mic with his two sons -- all spirit runners along with the Apaches of San Carlos, Arizona. He gives a moving account of his acceptance by Apache Tribal Chairman Dr. Wendsler Nosie Sr. and his extended family. Almost crying, he shares his gratitude for being allowed and encouraged to run, eat, and feel at home as a guest on sacred land in Arizona.
This was a spiritual gathering with Nigos'dzan ("Mother Earth") among the oak trees of the Great Gathering Place, Hahamongna (Pasadegna, now Pasadena), in the foothills of tribal Los Angeles next to the glimmering Mars Ground Control that is JPL or NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (original Jack Parsons's Lab, a Satanic figure and good friend of Scientology's L. Ron Hubbard) at the headwaters of the Los Angeles River (formerly El Rio Porciuncula).
This week Pasadena Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals will vote on whether or not to grant the Apache Stronghold a restraining order on a corporate mining interest, Resolution Copper (RSC), that is seeking to acquire public land now part of the Tinto National Forest in Arizona to create a crater where a mountain now stands using "blockade" mining, which are controlled earthquakes meant to destroy, pulverize, and transport the land to a processing center to extract copper.
Apache Nation asks federal court to halt proposed copper mine at Oak Flat
(DemocracyNow.org, 10/25/21 edited by Wisdom Quarterly)
With a totem pole on the bed of a truck, Apache Stronghold is on a Spiritual Convoy
.
Indigenous advocates fighting to protect Oak Flat -- a historic site in eastern Arizona sacred to the San Carlos Apache Nation and other Native American communities -- argued their case against a proposed copper mine in federal court Friday. The legal efforts at the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in Pasadena are being led by the grassroots group, Apache Stronghold.
Native communities have long warned the massive copper mine would destroy Oak Flat, depriving them of their religious rights and other freedoms.
Dr. Wendsler Nosie Sr., founder of Apache Stronghold and former chair of the San Carlos Apache Nation, says: “We heard it loud and clear in Indian Country that anything on federal land is not safe. Nothing is holy, and nothing is sacred to them. That was clearly spoken. The [emotions] that run through us is the fact that it answers the question that we are still prisoners of war in this country.”
The copper mine is being run by Resolution Copper (RSC), a [foreign] joint venture of multi-national mining corporations BHP and Rio Tinto.

(The Jimmy Dore Show) Feb. 28, 2023. #TheJimmyDoreShow
Tucker Carlson has been the rare media commentator to mention that there is substantial evidence United States (USA/CIA) military saboteurs were behind the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage bombing.
Carlson even brought on Dore to talk about it — something that blew the minds of other mainstream media outlets like Mediaite, which published a piece smearing Dore as a conspiracy theorist while neglecting to refute a single point he made or the legendary journalism documented by Seymour Hersh that the USA destroyed Russia natural gas pipeline to Germany in an act of eco-terrorism.
What Edward Snowden just said about UFOs is terrifying and should concern all of us
(Redacted) Feb. 14, 2023. #redacted #claytonmorris #natalimorris. NSA whistleblower and American hero Edward Snowden agrees with Redacted that all of this "UFO talk" (and UAP nonsense) is a distraction to take our minds off of what’s really going on.
The mainstream corporate media takes our mind off Seymour Hersh’s bombshell report that the US committed eco-terrorism -- to hinder Germany's source of natural gas pipeline from Russia -- blew up the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. It distracts us all from the coming WW3 that NATO is actively pulling us into.
Corporate [mainstream] media smears brave reporter who revealed U.S. crime of blowing up Nord Stream 2 Pipeline then trying to blame Russia as a pretext for war
(The Jimmy Dore Show) Feb. 15, 2023. The media’s purpose is to question dominant narratives and challenge authority, but too often today’s corporate media exists simply to regurgitate establishment talking points and run interference for powerful interests. Case in point: Business Insider writer Mia Jankowicz’s recent piece smearing Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh’s story revealing U.S. involvement in sabotaging the Nord Stream pipeline.
Guest host Aaron Maté and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how pathetically bought the mainstream media is today. #TheJimmyDoreShow
American war crimes: pretext for US Proxy-War on Russia using Ukraine
(Exclusive TV interview Democracy Now!) Feb. 15, 2023, live with reporter Seymour Hersh on "How America Took Out the Nord Stream Pipeline":
When the Nord Stream pipelines carrying natural gas from Russia to Germany were damaged last September, U.S. officials were quick to pretend Russia had bombed its own pipelines.
But according to a new report by the legendary investigative journalist Seymour Hersh, it was the U.S. Navy that carried out the sabotage, with help from Norway.
Citing a source "with direct knowledge of the operational planning," Hersh writes on his Substack blog that planning for the mission began in December of 2021. The White House and the Norwegian government have since denied the claims.
Hersh joins Democracy Now! for an in-depth interview to discuss his report and says the U.S. decision to bomb the pipelines was meant to lock allies into support for Ukraine at a time when some were wavering.
"The fear was Europe would walk away from the war," he says. Hersh won a Pulitzer Prize in 1970 for his reporting on the U.S. military's My Lai massacre, part of its international war crimes on Buddhist Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia.
Hersh's reporting on the CIA's illegal homeland spying on antiwar activists during the Vietnam War era helped lead to the formation of the Church Committee, which led to major reforms of the intelligence community and, in 2004, he exposed more recent U.S. war crimes in the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal in Iraq.

U.S. blew up Nord Stream pipeline – Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist confirms
(The Jimmy Dore Show) Feb. 14, 2023. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalistic legend Seymour Hersh penned a bombshell report exposing that, as many already suspected, the United States [CIA] was behind the September sabotage bombing of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline in the Baltic Sea.
This is logical since Russia, who many in the West tried to blame as part of a disinformation campaign, had no motive to blow up their own pipeline.
But the U.S. had every reason to want the flow of Russian natural gas to Europe disrupted.
Guest host Aaron Maté and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger review the evidence pointing to the United States [and our military-industrial complex run by a list of alphabet-agencies like the CIA, NSA, NSC, DHS, DARPA, and so on, along with its ally, Norway, as the likely culprit.
Lessons from the Past. New directions for the Future
Who else will stand up for our environment?
There is an even worse pipeline than the one that causes filthy environmental damage with every inevitable spill polluting the land. It's the school-to-prison pipeline Kamala Harris and other built their careers on. Policies that are "harsh on kids," using the comforting and misleading euphemism "tough on crime," have turned schools into punishment camps to criminalize brown and black children. Get them young. Get them used to heavy policing. Get them in court. Get them ready for incarceration. It has to stop.More

Flashback: Dakota Access oil pipeline co. attacks Natives with dogs and pepper spray
We need to optimize this commodity for profit.
(9/6/16) Democracy Now! goes to North Dakota, where security guards working for the Dakota Access pipeline company are attacking Native Americans with dogs and pepper spray as they resist the company's $3.8 billion pipeline construction. If completed, the pipeline will transport half a million barrels of crude a day from North Dakota’s Bakken Oil Field to Illinois, where it would meet up with another pipeline to move it down to Texas. The pipeline has faced months of resistance from the Standing Rock Sioux tribe and members of nearly 100 additional tribes from across the U.S. and Canada. Lawyers for the tribe have filed documents showing how land Dakota Access would bulldoze is, in fact, a tribal burial site. This is a Democracy Now! exclusive report.
Former Honor the Earth Director Winona LaDuke talks about the Dakota Access Pipeline and extraction projects proposed on tribal territories.
We persist in defending and protecting the rights of sovereign Native American nations, the effects of climate change, the poisoning of rivers, streams, and lakes. Missouri Lake is already sick.
It's to walk on water (WQ).
"Love water, not oil"! Thousands are standing up to protect their land from an oil pipeline. A hearing on whether indigenous people will get fair due process as a sovereign nation to stop construction is coming. The courts will decide whether or not sovereign nations have a say in the decisions that affect treaty territories.
Are they able to deny a pipeline on their lands? #HonorTheTreaties Does anyone have the right to live in harmony as Lakota people, traditionally and spiritually with equality? The resistance continues. What would Sitting Bull do today? "Let us put our minds together and see what life we can make for our children." It is time to act. More
The Keystone Oil Pipeline by TransCanada (now "TC Energy") has spilled 10 times worse than previously reported -- even though TransCanada said this could never happen at all. It would never spilled. It spilled almost right away, just as the Native American Water Protectors warned. But what about that fake Democratic impeachment Rep. Nancy Pelosi won't forward to the Senate? It is good to impeach a madman, but it's even better if the Democrats are not on the side of our single-system Money Party backing Pres. Trump. There is no effective opposition, even in the face of all of Rep. Adam Schiff's face time on the news and in the House of Representatives.

(EcoWatch.com, 11/1/19) "Environmentalists were outraged but not at all surprised to learn Thursday that the Keystone pipeline sprung yet another massive leak, this time spilling 383,000 gallons of crude oil in North Dakota.
"I wish I could say I was shocked, but a major spill from the Keystone pipeline is exactly what multiple experts predicted would happen," Greenpeace USA Senior Research Specialist Tim Donaghy said in a statement.
"In fact, this is the fourth significant spill from the Keystone pipeline in less than ten years of operation. History has shown us time and again that there is no safe way to transport fossil fuels, and pipelines are no exception."
As 350.org Founder Bill McKibben tweeted in response to the leak, "It happens over and over and over and over and over."
The latest Keystone spill was first detected Tuesday night by TC Energy (formerly TransCanada), the pipeline's owner, and the extent of the damage to the surrounding areas is not yet known to the public.
