It's done: realities of the hyper-transparent spy world
2022-11-03
[The Naked Hedgie] On Monday, 26 September 2022 someone blew up the Nord Stream pipeline system, built at Germany’s request, to deliver Natural Gas from Russia to Germany. For a number of reasons, some of which I articulated in the article, "Britain’s Secret Diplomacy and the European Wars," I thought that Great Britain was probably the mastermind and one of the perpetrators behind the attacks. Again, not any legitimate British government organization, but some deep state networks within the British military and structures. I expressed this view in the podcast with Tom Luongo, published five days after the attacks.

This week, Russia’s Foreign Ministry and the Ministry of Defence revealed that Britain’s (then) PM Liz Truss sent a message to the US State Secretary Antony Blinken, saying "It’s done."

The message was sent only one minute after the pipelines were destroyed. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova demanded an explanation from the British government. Not surprisingly, the allegations were rejected on both sides of the Atlantic, with the UK Ministry of Defence claiming that the Russians were "peddling false claims on an epic scale." Of course they are: we all know that we in the west are the good guys and that the Russians are evil, so that should settle the issue. Or maybe not. If you’re not so sure about the western narrative anymore, please continue reading.

DEMISTIFYING CYBER-INTELLIGENCE
From the perspective of an average newsflow consumer, it may seem weird that the Russians could hack into Liz Truss’ text messages, but the German-Finnish tech entrepreneur Kim Dotcom weighed in to demystify the world of cyber intelligence. In a tweet on 30 Oct, he wrote, "How do the Russians know that the UK blew up the North Stream pipelines in partnership with the US? Because @trussliz used her iPhone to send a message to @SecBlinken saying ’It’s done’ a minute after the pipeline blew up and before anybody else knew? iCloud admin access rocks!"

In yesterday’s thread, Dotcom elaborated further, adding some credibility to his viewpoint:

#6  The Swedes are unwilling to cooperate or cough up any information on NS1/2. Uh, yeah, o.k., sure, we get it.

#4  How could she have known it was done? Nobody knew it was done. It took a while for the seismic data to be recognized, and a helicopter to fly out and photograph the environment-destroying methane leaking into the biosphere.

Well, a NATO helicopter did fly the route of the pipeline. A total coincidence. And Jeffrey Epstein killed himself.
