Nordstream – the Signal That Washington Knows It Has Lost the 'Great Game' “Not ANOTHER article about the Nordstream sabotage, surely? We all know who dunnit, because we’ve seen the Biden clip and Radek Sikorski/Applebaum’s now deleted tweet, we’ve noted the telling exchange between Sen. Ron Johnson and Victoria Nuland, and because we have the wit to ask the vital question ‘cui bono?’ So what more is to be said?” I understand if that’s your initial reaction to seeing this piece, but bear with me, because the ‘mysterious’ Baltic explosions are more than a hugely dangerous escalation in NATO’s undeclared war on Russia. They are also a signal that one of the greatest geopolitical shifts in world history has already taken place – and that the Anglo-Zionist elite understands that its imperial dominance and unipolar moment have gone for good. There is, indeed, no need to spend long on the question of ‘whodunnit’. The Global Times (a well-informed source close to the Chinese government) summed up the blindingly obvious:
This fits in with the thesis of a prescient article by Mike Whitney, published in the Unz Review way back in February:
It is also, very clearly, a matter of short-term profits. Bloomberg pointed out in June that the US sent nearly three quarters of all its liquefied natural gas to Europe in the first four months of 2022, with daily shipments to the region more than tripling from last year’s average. I have no idea how much that is worth, but with the Saudi petro-dollar recycling mechanism so clearly crumbling, it is logical enough that the US would scramble for ways to keep their debt-ridden fiat currency inextricably connected with the energy business. Enter the European gas-dollar because, of course, all that LNG is paid for not in Euros but in USD. While on the subject of money, we shouldn’t overlook the fact that NATO’s proxy war in Ukraine (and spreading!) is a massive laundering operation for money transferred from US taxpayers to private vested interests. From arms sales to vanishing aid money, a small number of people are hoovering up vast sums of money, and they pass a few spare wads of that filthy lucre back to the politicians and media outlets who keep up the pressure for the racket that is war. That said, to ‘follow the money’ alone would lead one to miss several much bigger and even more important pictures.
I set out the connection between the pipeline outrage and the interests of the US elite in an interview earlier this week for Sky News Arabia, which often takes a very different view of world affairs to that of the Sky News we all know and loath:
Here we must note that the only reason that the US Deep State is in a position to shaft its ‘European allies’ is that their own political elite have spent the last decade systematically dismantling their home-grown energy industries. We’ve seen the destruction of the coal industry (and the communities it supported), the virtual moratorium on new gas field development and the strangling of nuclear power. Along with this has gone the insistence that all these ‘dense’ and reliable energy sources could be replaced by innately unreliable and grotesquely inefficient ‘renewables’.
An insight into the scale of the self-imposed disaster may be glimpsed in the forecast of Confartigianato, in Italy. On September 9th, the president Marco Granelli stated that “expensive energy puts 881,264 micro and small enterprises with 3,529,000 employees at risk, equal to 20.6 percent of the employment of the Italian business system”. The employers’ spokesman warned of a coming “massacre of companies.” Engdahl went on to explain how the ‘liberalisation’ of the European gas market has turned the industry from an energy supply operation into a huge casino for speculation in futures, in which every new alarm and instability creates the opportunity for vast profits. Once again, the lust for money is the root of much of this evil, although we should not under-estimate the parallel role of ideology. Or, more accurately, of religion, because the so-called ‘green agenda’ is, at root, a pseudo-religious cult. The religiosity for which human beings are hardwired, having been deprived of its traditional Christian expression in the increasingly Godless West, has re-emerged in a hysterical cult of Mother Earth. We have angered the Goddess, and to placate her we must sacrifice the things we most value. Although, strangely, the liberal elite who push such the secularised rationalisations of this anti-human fantasy, show a marked reluctance to make such sacrifices themselves. This stinking hypocrisy is one of the drivers of the increasingly powerful protests against the various consequences of assorted liberal elite policy decisions, particularly the energy-suicide-by-Russia now being imposed on the peoples of Europe by Brussels, Washington and their various local puppet occupation governments. Huge demonstrations against the sanctions and in favour of Russian gas have already taken place in Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, Spain and Italy. It was easy to imagine these becoming irresistibly huge and violently angry once the winter really sets in. But not any more. What is the point of demonstrating to re-open gas pipelines which cannot be turned back on? Or others which pass through the territory of the mortal enemies of the potential gas supplier? Surely, we will still see angry protests, but they will no longer have a demand which could be instantly fulfilled and which would mean that NATO’s Ukraine adventure had ended in political and economic humiliation as well as military castration. The Europeans in general – and the Germans in particular – can protest all they like, but the destruction of Nordstream and the related fall-out mean that they really don’t have a choice anymore. Either pay whatever price is demanded for those LNG shipments from Texas – or freeze. By now, the well-informed reader is probably wondering “when is he going to mention the Rand Corporation document? That bears out everything said so far”. Yes it does. The ‘leaked’ document does indeed explain the US Deep State’s destructive and cynical game very well. But, along with “follow the money”, there is another very useful saying in life: “If something’s too good to be true, it probably isn’t.” And, unfortunately, I have to say that I believe that, while the document “Executive Summary: Weakening Germany, strengthening the U.S.” is accurate in what it describes; it is just too good to be true. It’s a piece of black propaganda, which resonates so well because it is based on the facts. I have studied the document very carefully, and I can tell you beyond any reasonable doubt that it is written by someone whose native language is not English. It is very, very nearly perfect English, but it isn’t 100%. It includes phrases such as these:
“…..a loss in the position…….thanks to our precise actions”? To paraphrase Scotty in Star Trek, “it’s English, Jim, but not as we know it!” An even bigger give-away lurks in the phrase “The major obstacle to it is growing independence of Germany.” No native English speaker would ever drop ‘the’ from before ‘growing’. But where do they do that? Apart from the unfeasibly sexy accent (when spoken by a woman, that is!) it’s the single most distinctive feature of Russian-English. Is the Rand corporation having its internal secret documents written by a Russian fifth columnist traitor now living and working in the USA ? Either that, or the document is a forgery. My money is on the latter although, of course, what makes the forgery so convincing is that it so neatly sums up the reality of what is going on and why. I’m sorry if that disappointed or angered you, but it doesn’t do the cause of truth any good to try to bolster it with documents which the liberal media can, if it becomes necessary, credibly write off as forgeries. Especially when the facts of what is being done by the criminals in Washington, London, Brussels and Kiev speak for themselves. One of the most important of those facts is what Washington is doing to Germany, with the criminal complicity of the occupation regime in Berlin. They are reinforcing the vassal status of Germany by demolishing the infrastructure which gave it the physical potential to reject subservience. You cannot break away if doing so means the total collapse of your society, but to make you that vulnerable in the first place,your society has to be brought to near collapse and total dependence. “Why Is Germany Committing Suicide?” asked David Chu in an article on Information Clearing House. “The Same Reasons why the EU/UK is Being Deindustrialized”, he replied in answer to his own question. He went on to ask another rhetorical question, which hit the nail on the head:
Just so! Which brings me to the crucial geopolitical point which, as far as I know, no other analyst has made so far. To use Germany, the EU and UK as obedient and useful vassals in a long-running cold or hot war, the USA would need them to have huge stocks of modern weapons and the ability to make more. Yet, all we have seen since the conflict was first provoked are weapons and munitions being thrown into the Donbass meat grinder, at a rate which has left military insiders all over Western and central Europe warning that their armed forces are running out of the capacity to defend their own territory, let alone fight NATO’s proxy war in the Ukraine. Even more incredibly, the industrial capacity which the EU and UK would need to wage a prolonged conventional war is being obliterated. In WW2 terms it’s as if Churchill had turned Bomber Command on Coventry and Birmingham, Goering had used the Luftwaffe to deindustrialise the Ruhr, and American Flying Fortresses had flattened London and Moscow. Given that nuclear war would be suicidal for all concerned, this can only mean that – while their recklessness might cause nuclear Armageddon – the sinister forces running the Biden regime do not actually plan on fighting World War Three. I repeat, no-one prepares for war by destroying their allies’ capacity to wage it alongside them. Understanding this also brings us to a geopolitical revelation. Again, I explained this in my latest piece for Sky News Arabia:
To conclude, this may still be about Mackinder, but it is no longer about control of the Eurasian land mass. To even contemplate that, Washington would need not just the conscripts of Western Europe, but also German industrial capacity. Further, even conscripts have to be willing to fight, and a society wrecked by green agenda lunacy and energy sabotage is not going to be worth fighting for. So the Washington/Wall Street aim is not maintenance or restoration of global hegemony. It is to try to ensure the survival of US dominance in the shrunken empire of the West. In just fifteen per cent of the world! Once more, to get to the bottom line, let’s follow the money. The panicking ‘Masters of the Universe’ are sacrifice their European allies in the desperate hope, not of global victory, but of trying to keep the fiat dollar Ponzi scheme afloat for a little while longer – even as the national debt surges past $30 trillion and the money printing machine goes into hyperdrive. I will end with my reply to the final question from that Arab journalist the other day, who asked me what I thought Russia do to retaliate for the Baltic blast:
