The pipeline “accident ” four of them ( yep Nord Stream 1 and 2 is not two pipes, they are two pipelines consisting of twin pipes. )
The damage was in International waters. So whoever damaged the pipelines did not attack a specific country.

No.

i am thoroughly disgusted by this.
@ coldwarrior:
Only thing I can think of that makes sense is the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines were insured and Russia blew them up.
@ Possum:
europeans were starting to protest about energy prices and getting disentangled from this ukie nonsense, se we blew up the pipeline so that there is no option but to buy nat gas from us.
we fucked over the euros, some ally we are huh?
I am an expert… When the bubbles stop coming out of the broken Nord Stream 1 and 2 then those pipelines are never going to function again. Even if NATO invades Russia and tries to steal the gas.
@ coldwarrior:
Yep, there is no going back.
Europe kissing Russian ass and asking for the gas to be turned back on is no longer an option.
As an aside.
I would really like the Russians to cut of the gas supply that comes to Europe via the Ukraine.

Sam Faddis on the pipeline. Cogent analysis
https://andmagazine.substack.com/p/did-the-united-states-just-blow-up
An attack on the Russian pipelines in the Baltic by the United States will not go unanswered. Putin will not sit back and passively absorb the damage done. He will hit back. He will direct his own very capable intelligence and special operations people to select a target that hurts us, and then in the same deniable way, he will strike.
Literally, hundreds of undersea internet cables connect the world and enable much of our modern way of life and commerce. Severing one or more of these and plunging banks in New York, the Stock Exchange, or currency markets into chaos would be eminently doable. And, what then? Do we respond? Do we escalate?
I hope as the facts filter out about these attacks another picture emerges. I hope we come to understand that this event was not what it appears to be. I pray the men and women in this administration are really not as cavalier and reckless as they appear.
Right now, though, I think any reasonable person has to be asking this question.
Did the United States just blow up two Russian pipelines?
Ever since the end of WWII the USA has been fucking over its supposedly friends for reasons I do not understand.
I can rant and rave over the fact that after the end of the second world war and the atomic bomb the USA stopped all co-operation with the UK about nuclear explody thingies. Even though 50% and more of scientists developing the atom bomb were British.
The 1950’s were a great example. The USA did not have a ballistic nuclear weapon capability to launch against the USSR from the USA. So….

In the 80’s USA had nuclear tipped cruise missiles based in the UK. Greenham Common.

This is an interesting take. The pipes blew because of (typical) sloppy Russian maintancence..
Russia was having compressor “issues” on Nord 1, enough that the whole sodding compressor station was “shut down” and a “hazardous production facility”.
Is anyone else getting the twitchies regarding the fact that at least some of the equipment that keeps the pipeline pressurised was off-line? Just me? Oh, well then. Carry on.
Moving on — multiple sources have confirmed that Nord 2 was full of natural gas; that it was full for at least months; and that said natural gas had never moved.
It. Just. Sat. There. For — allegedly — months.
During normal operations of a pipeline, you run a pig through fairly regularly. A “pig” is a bit of equipment pushed by the gas flow, and as it moves along it shoves water and hydrate slurry down to where it can be removed; and it scrapes compounds off the inside walls (hydrogen sulphide, I’m looking at you) that might be is probably eating your pipe.
Note the part above where the pigs are pushed by the gas. The gas in Nordstream 2 never moved. That means no pig ever went down the line to shove water out, move hydrate slurry, or stop H2S from corroding the steel of the pipeline.

Fallout is irradiated dirt and debris picked up by the explosion off the ground. How much there is is primarily a function of height of burst, not design. A bomb that’s detonated high enough above the ground that the fireball doesn’t touch the ground will have little or no fallout.
I spent a good amount of time working with nuclear artillery systems in the Army, and I can tell you that all our systems were designed to default to high enough airburst that there would be no fallout (the obvious exception being ADMs (Atomic Demolition Munitions) which are always detonated on (or below) ground.
A Neil Young cover from the Main Stage at Telluride:
@ lobo91:
Generally, the only reason to detonate a bomb at or below the surface is if you’re attacking a hardened target like a missile silo or a bunker, unless you’re just trying to make a mess. That makes no sense with tactical weapons, because you’re presumably planning to occupy that territory at some point.

Non-opioid compounds squelch pain without sedation
A newly identified set of molecules alleviated pain in mice while avoiding the sedating affect that limits the use of opiates, according to a new study led by researchers at UC San Francisco. The molecules act on the same receptor as clonidine and dexmedetomidine—drugs commonly used in hospitals as sedatives—but are chemically unrelated to them and may not be addictive.
Clonidine and dexmedetomidine are also both effective pain killers but so sedating that they are rarely used for pain relief outside of the hospital.
“We showed that it’s possible to separate the analgesic and sedative effects related to this receptor, said Brian Shoichet, Ph.D., professor in the School of Pharmacy, and one of four senior authors of the study, which appears in the Sept. 30, 2022, issue of Science. “That makes it a very promising target for drug development.”

Expensive New England winter is coming
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/community-family/expensive-new-england-winter-is-coming
New England is approaching what grid officials and utility executives expect to be a very pricey winter for energy consumers and one that risks a shortage of energy during extended periods of extreme cold.
It’s not an unfamiliar forecast for the region, where cold temperatures and natural gas pipeline constraints have a record of driving supply tightness, and thereby driving prices up, during cold winter months. But this year, those pipeline constraints are overlaid by extremely competitive energy markets globally and fuel commodity prices that are already higher than normal going into winter.
That’s led to warnings that $1,000 monthly utility bills could be in order.
At the heart of the challenge are New England’s power generation and residential heating profile. Natural gas accounted for 53% of the region’s power in 2021, while gas is widely used for home heating. In Massachusetts, more than half of households used gas to heat their homes in 2020.
At the same time, interstate pipeline infrastructure “has only expanded incrementally over the last several decades” to supply gas to New England, said ISO New England, the region’s grid operator. “Even as reliance on natural gas for home heating and for power generation has grown significantly.”
“During cold weather, most natural gas is committed to local utilities for residential, commercial, and industrial heating. As a result, we are finding that during severe winter weather, many power plants in New England cannot obtain fuel to generate electricity,” ISO New England said in an online review of its grid performance in 2021.
Charles Dickerson, president and CEO of Northeast Power Coordinating Council, said the region is struggling to strike the right balance between meeting its various green energy targets and meeting consumer energy needs during winter. Green energy targets prioritize the deployment of wind and solar over new fossil resources and supporting pipeline capacity. But when the weather turns bitterly cold, there’s a need for more traditional fossil fuels.
There’s a Biblical commentary about this I can’t quite recall. Oh yeah! Now I remember: it goes something like NO SHIT SHERLOCK

They are correct. Modern nukes can have smaller fall out yields but mimic the initial greater effects by using Neutron generators. Remember the 1980s brouhaha about the Neutron warheads that kill living flora and fauna whilst leaving infrastructure undamaged or at least less damaged? Most Tacnukes these days field these enhanced neutron generating warheads to maximise the ability of strategic forces to move through previously nukes regions soon after a strike.
The Soviet / Russian armed forces tactical manuals are very clear about their thinking in regards to the use of Tac nukes. Their nuke template involves 4-5 small tac nukes across a reasonably narrow front, with around 2 15-25 Kt warheads that neutralise the tactical logistics and services areas in depth, with a single 500Kt – 1 Mt warhead to neutralise strategically positioned support including air and naval forces.
The Soviets and Russians have always been much more flexible with their policy on using tactical nukes freely

NY Judge Rules Polygamy On Same Level as Couple Relationships
As Justice John Roberts foretold in his Obergefell dissent:
“Although the majority randomly inserts the adjective ‘two’ in various places, it offers no reason at all why the two-person element of the core definition of marriage may be preserved while the man-woman element may not.
https://www.frontpagemag.com/ny-judge-rules-polygamy-on-same-level-as-couple-relationships/
Polygamy has a rational basis. In the Bible, if a woman’s husband dies, one of his brothers is assigned to marry her. It makes sense. It keeps the deceased brother’s offspring protected along with their mother. I know, from Steve Coll’s book, The bin Ladens, this still occurs in Saudi Arabia. A British woman married into the family, her husband was killed, and a family brother married her.

Angela Merkel’s Vice Chancellor Stuns, Declares Germany’s ‘Energiewende’ To Be On ‘The Verge Of Failure’!
The green energy orgy in Germany is over. The music has stopped and the wine that once flowed freely has long run out. The green energy whores and pimps can go home.
In a stunning admission by Germany’s Economics Minister and Vice Chancellor to Angela Merkel, Sigmar Gabriel announced in a recent speech that the country’s once highly ballyhooed transformation to renewable energy, the so called Energiewende , a model that has been adopted by a number of countries worldwide, is “on the verge of failure“.
Speaking at an event at SMA Solar, Germany’s leading manufacturer of solar technology, Gabriel even dropped yet another admission bomb:
The truth is that in all fields we under-estimated the complexity of the Energiewende.”
Gabriel is not only the national economics minister and vice chancellor to Angela Merkel, he is also head of Germany’s socialist SPD party, which is now the coalition partner in Angela Merkel’s CDU/SPD grand coalition government. Moreover Gabriel was once the country’s environment minister and a devout believer in global warming and in Al Gore’s Inconvenient Truth.
In the speech Gabriel tells the audience how the energy transformation is on the verge of failure:
Those who are the engines of the transformation to renewable energies, that’s you, you don’t see how close we are to the failure of the energy transformation.”
Gabriel says that major reforms are thus unavoidable, and he calls efforts for energy consumers to get off the grid “pure madness”. That’s not what they want after all. Gabriel is now calling on companies who produce green energy for their own use to ante up as well:
The complete exemption from paying feed-in tariffs is a model that is wonderful for you as a business model, but is one that is a problem for everyone else.”
The solar energy audience reacts with dead, stunned silence (3:03). That can’t believe what they just heard.
The mood at SMA Solar, which has been a huge benefactor of the renewable energy subsidies brought on by Germany’s EEG feed-in act, was somber and shock and Gabriel delivered the reality. Many in attendance seemed unable to fathom what Gabriel was unloading: the heady days at the green energy feeding trough are over – live with it.
The European Institute for Climate and Energy (EIKE) here writes :
The responsible persons in attendance at the Hessen-based photovoltaic SMA Solar and all the other profiteers of the EEG feed-in act saw their jaws drop when this late and blunt admission was made.”
That Gabriel would make such comments can only tell us that the situation and the costs surrounding the Energiewende must be far more dire than most of us realize.
Germany’s renewable energy gravy train has derailed for good. Other countries take note!
Finally, give credit to Gabriel for not shying away from what needs to be done and for taking the responsibilities as economics minister very seriously. Finally a person in power who gets it!
Other reading: Even media now mocking failed Energiewende .

It reminded me of a Polish colleague who told me his grandfather was the mayor of a small village shortly after the war. A bunch of gun toting Poles arrived and said they were communist guerrillas looking for German sympathizers. The mayor did the village a favour. He paid them to leave and f*ck off to the next town.
Their behavior does not alter.

I have no idea how the energy costs will effect the NZ Market which is based on dams and hydro with a little bit of geo=thermal and a tiny amount of oil / gas and coal generation. If everyone gets a rush of blood to the head and goes electric there could be an European energy poverty problem developing. Even making green H2 is problematic because the energy still has to come from someplace. Do we give up using electricity making world class aluminium and instead ‘mine’ bit-coin or provide energy for cars of make Green H2 from the unused hydro?
I have no idea???

Jones taught at Princeton until 2007 and then moved to NYU where he had a year-to-year contract. His textbook on the subject is now in its fifth edition. But this year Jones was fired after a group of about 80 students started a petition claiming his class was too hard.

This woman is a fucking nightmare
Well, it’s confirmed – the latest Roy Morgan poll, encompassing New Zealanders political leanings over the month of September, has revealed what many Kiwis already thought to be true; the days of Jacinda Ardern and her administration are numbered.
Following months of economic mishandlings, policy flip-flops and scandals, Labour are in free fall – desperate to retain power. However, Kiwis are far from keen, with only 29.5 percent of the nation standing with Jacinda Ardern and her ever-dwindling caucus, according to the poll. A distressing figure for what was a party supported by 50 percent of the nation merely two years ago.
Though it comes as no surprise. It was under this Government that New Zealand witnessed what was arguably the biggest public policy failure in modern New Zealand history – the COVID-19 traffic light system – which ultimately led to a prolonged 23-day occupation that was supported by 30 percent of the general population. But it doesn’t stop there. The high cost of living, unprecedented government spending, soaring child poverty, the threat of co-governance, and the extraordinary growth in bureaucracy, have all contributed to the downfall of Jacinda Ardern and Labour. Simply put, Kiwis are fed up with this incompetent government.

The Swedish Security Service’s crime scene investigation of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines has now been completed. The investigation has strengthened the suspicions of gross sabotage.
The Security Service carried out the crime scene investigation, beginning this past weekend, with excellent support and cooperation from the Swedish Coast Guard, Armed Forces and Police Authority.
The crime scene investigation has shown that there have been detonations near Nord Stream 1 and 2, within the Swedish economic zone, resulting in extensive damage to the gas pipelines.
Certain seizures were made during the on-site investigation. The Swedish Security Service is continuously taking various measures in its investigation into these events. As part of this work, the seized material will now be processed and analysed. The continued investigation will show whether anyone can be suspected of, and later prosecuted for, this crime.
The investigation into the Nord Stream events is being conducted by the Swedish Security Service and is headed by a National Security Unit prosecutor. As the crime scene investigation has been completed, the prosecutor has lifted the cordons around the area.
The Swedish Security Service assesses the Baltic Sea incidents to be very serious, and is keeping a close eye on developments and taking the measures needed to fulfil our duty to protect Sweden and its security.

In scientific circles, doubts arise as to whether the information provided by the manufacturers about the mRNA vaccine is correct. Biontech/Pfizer and Moderna have so far refused to independently verify the data. A Stiko member is now also criticizing.
Virologists, epidemiologists, pharmacologists – they may not have always been friendly to each other during the pandemic. But they are now coming together on one point: it is the demand for an independent review of the studies that led to the approval of the mRNA vaccines from Biontech/Pfizer and Moderna. The studies are published. However, the primary data, scientifically the decisive documents, are missing. All vaccine evaluations of the registration studies are based on them. Until now, the documents have been kept under lock and key by the manufacturers, and they are refusing requests to see them.

Army releases climate change plan: ‘Immediate threat to national security’
The U.S. Army released its new plan to tackle climate change, which the service claims “poses an immediate and serious threat to U.S. national security and affects how and where the Army trains and operates.”
The new “Army Climate Strategy” (ACS) Implementation Plan states that the Army must do more than just “adapt” to climate change because “dangerous levels of greenhouse gases (GHG) have already accumulated in the Earth’s atmosphere.” The service must instead work to mitigate the effects of climate change.
The strategy highlights three main “lines of effort,” including installations, acquisition and logistics, and training.
The Army will work toward making sure installations have “resilient energy and water supply, carbon free electricity, efficient and sustainable infrastructure, sustainable land management, and more.
The Army also vowed to reduce fuel consumption and rely on advanced technology to help mitigate climate change during deployments. Additionally, the service will “train and educate the Army to operate in a climate-altered world.”
