Nordstream Nuke? Also, Musk--Free Speech Hero?

I’ll start with Elon Musk, since that part will be brief. There have been a lot of complaints and speculation surrounding changes that Musk has recently made to terms of use at Twitter. Some see Musk as doing something underhanded, while others defend what he’s doing as necessary to defeat AI inspired plans to censor Twitter users in targeted groups. I can’t claim to understand entirely where Musk is coming from. I’m encouraged that he seems to have had something of an epiphany as a result of what he saw going on during the Covid Hoax, but the big picture of what his goals are is still murky to me.

Anyway, I came across this tweet with an embedded 8 minute video a day or two ago. Musk doesn’t allow the embedding of tweets at substack, so all I can do is a bit of copying and pasting and encourage readers to follow the link. I found the explanation for Musk’s actions to be convincing.

This guy wins todays internet award for correctly analyzing all the factors in Twitters lockdown.

The intelligence community built a “Censorship Deathstar” by scraping everyone’s data and Elon just threw a fat monkey wrench into the whole machine.

Now … Nordtream Nukes!

I picked this up from a tweet as well. An hour long Rumble video is embedded but, again, I can’t embed it here—although you get the screengrap for the beginning of the video. Follow the link. However, I can give you a good idea of what’s involved. The basic outline of the argument all comes within the first ten minutes. I’ve typed and combined the Outline that appears on screen at about the 10 minute mark and combined and fleshed it out with another graphic that appears earlier, at about the 4 minute mark. We’ll start with the tweet.

Obviously this is controversial, and not all the commentators—for what that’s worth—agree. OTOH, Rickards is not a dumb guy.

Did the U.S. destroy the Nord Stream 1 & 2 pipelines with a tactical thermonuclear device? This detailed presentation by a PhD in Theoretical Physics and Material Sciences makes a persuasive case.

Nordstream Bomb was not 0.000125 kt TNT equivalent but 2.5kt TNT equivalent. It was a "mini2-nuke.

Here are a handful of the comments that purported to be serious:

@BasedPhysician

Aren’t there a enough decentralized monitoring organizations of both air and sea that would detect the ensuing telltale isotopes?

Jim Rickards

@JamesGRickards

Probably. But, if they're controlled by NATO and they have no wish to disclose the data, then how would one know? This research is independent.

@DavidPa91620835

Do "tactical thermonuclear weapons" exist? Isn't the smallest fusion device ~100kt strategic?

The photos I saw showed the pipelines cut 'smooth as a baby's butt', the mark of explosively formed penetrator - linear shaped charge, which is what the investigators found.

@559chemist2

I don't think they would need to period that would be way overkill period 50 pounds of high explosive on each pipeline would be more than enough

Now here’s my summary from the video. The rest of the video, past the 10 minute mark, claims to discuss all this in detail. Perhaps commenters here with some knowledge of these or related matters can weigh in.

Nordstream Bomb was not 0.000125 kt TNT equivalent but 2.5kt TNT equivalent. It was a "mini2-nuke”.

OUTLINE

I. Comparison of seismic responses in Baltic Sea (Sweden, Finland) with well documented North Korean nuclear event (e.g. Columbia University Earth Institute); Swedish reported seismic waveforms (w/o raw data) displaying seismic response to North Cape, Iceland.

Seismic response was measured as far out as North Cape, Iceland.

II. Topographic significance of NS1 explosion site so as to generate a shock wave directly targeted at Kaliningrad (Russian oblast).

The explosion site was chosen so as to use shock wave amplification resulting from the elliptical shape of the nearby Swedish coast, focused via an underwater canyon pointing directly at Kaliningrad. Seismic responses at Kaliningrad (500km distant) were 10x larger than at the neighboring Danish island of Bornholm (70km distant).

III. Evaluation of seismic amplitudes and strict lower limits on explosive charge 0.2 kiloton TNT equivalent (from far field data possibly 20x larger).

The widely promoted estimate of 250kg TNT equivalent (Nature, March 15, 2023) derives from a joint Norwegian/Los Alamos Lab claim. The strict lower bound from the seismic data is 150,000kg TNT equivalent, but the data is consistent with a 1-4kt TNT equivalent explosion.

IV. Aerosol clouds (satellite data).

Large aerosol clouds were observed (~100km) after the detonation in the wind direction of Kaliningrad.

V. Underwater currents (satellite data).

Large underwater currents were observed in the Baltic Sea during the days following the detonation (~50km and more).

VI. Seafloor temperature (satellite data)

Significantly increased sea floor water temperature (~100km x 100km) in winter 2023 compared to winter 2022 by up to 5 degrees Celsius. [The event occurred in Sept 2022]

VII. Gamma Ray Detection

Increased Gamma radiation (including Caesium 137) was detected in Poland and Switzerland 2-3 days after the event on Sept 26, 2022.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesium-137

Caesium-137 ... is a radioactive isotope of caesium that is formed as one of the more common fission products by the nuclear fission of uranium-235 and other fissionable isotopes in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons.

*How was it carried out? (NATO Baltops22 exercise and unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV); (e.g. US Lionfish Program)

*Political implications

CONCLUSIONS AND BOTTOMLINE

I. None of these geophysical observations can be explained by the use of a conventional explosive; the explosive device that was used was a thermonuclear weapon.

II. The Nordstream attack was also a targeted shock wave attack directed at Kaliningrad.

This makes the US the only plausible perpetrator (as pointed out already on Dec 22, 2022, seven weeks before Seymour Hersh's article).

Well, interesting.
