AUDIO: Kit Knightly talks Nordstream 2 Sabotage

On his latest appearance on Perspective, OffG editor Kit Knightly and host Jesse Zurawell discuss our recent article on Sy Hersh’s Nordstream 2 “revelations”.

The talk ranges across the history of the conflict in Ukraine, how it furthers the same agenda as Covid, how the war might end, the nuclear “near miss” scenario and the why you should never trust “some guy said” journalism.

TNT Radio is a 24/7 internet radio station, available here. You can also listen to back-episodes of Perspective here and follow host Jesse Zurawell on Telegram here.

3 days after the furtive Olaf Schulz/ Brandon meeting, we now have the NYT and the rest of the MSM putting out the approved Spook Cover Story in unison. It was all done by some mysterious Ukrainians and/ or White Supremacists nobody really knows anything about. But it definitely, definitely, definitely wasn’t anything to do with America, Britain or NATO. And it’s all an incredibly big mystery..

Wouldn’t it be more parsimonious to conclude that the Azov “Neo-Nazi” battalion was an Israeli (Zionist) operation? — Israel is arming, and its military personnel are even fighting alongside explicitly Neo-Nazi units. Press TV: Zionism and Ukraine Mar 12, 2022 Uploaded by: Vanessa Beeley Ukraine: The Zionist Connection Images from the war in Ukraine have dominated the headlines over the last few weeks. But the Jewish identity of Ukraine’s President Zelensky, has been used by many in the West, to cover NATO’s manifest alliance with Neo-Nazi battalions in the war against Russia. But it’s not just NATO that’s working with these Neo-Nazi groups in Ukraine. Israel is arming, and its military personnel are even fighting alongside explicitly Neo-Nazi units The Zionist regime has supplied arms to the Ukraine military including the Nazi Azov battalion which traces its antecedents to Nazi collaborators in the 1939-45 war.

The Nordstream terrorism produced a real eco disaster as millions of tons of methane were pumped out, poisoning all the little fishes and cuddly sea creatures. A holocaust. A real one. Real eco terrorism. The equivalent of a million Range Rovers being driven at top speed for 500 years.

I’m not worried about Russia but about the level of intelligence in 21st century Europe.

Where Napoleon’s France and Hitler’s Germany tried and failed, Biden’s EU$A is unlikely to succeed. Especially since NATZO, which knows it has never beaten any country bigger than Serbia (drew with Syria and lost to Afghanistan) is unlikely even to try. Especially since it seems that, if we take on Russia we shall have to take on China as well.

For the sake of the people of Europe, I hope we are not all as stupid as the Ukrainians, to fall for NATZO’s promise of “our irresistible armed might”.

I see Putin as the future leader of the Eurasia technate, and Elon Musk as the possible leader of North America technate. One is allowed to say he is anti-globalist, and the other is arguing for less one-world government structure. So it would seem like the plan is less of a smooth transition into a brave new world, and more likely to be 1984 world war as the narrative develops. Don’t see how the act can be captivating without a nuclear show, be it real or fake or somewhere in-between.

Russian officials: Ukrainian troop false flag invasion of Transnistria wearing Russian uniforms is planned. The Cobasna depot, by some estimates, occupies about 100 hectares and contains some 20,000 tons of mostly obsolete ammunition left here after the withdrawal of the Soviet Army from East Germany and Czechoslovakia in the early 1990s.

Experts from the Moldovan Academy of Sciences, in a report published in 2005, pointed out that an explosion at the Cobasna warehouse would be comparable to the detonation of the 10-kiloton nuclear bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima in 1945.

Funnily enough the Fraud would use the same flaw to dismiss the VAERS data but it’s hunkydory here.

Seymour Hersh isn’t just some guy someone met down the pub. The point is, he has a track record of coming out with good stories which were afterwards shown to be correct and protecting his sources. If as Zurawell says, “it really isn’t news” then what Hersh said is uncontraversial.

Hello colin buchanan: Denigrating Seymore Hersh’s interpretations of events has become the hobby of anti-conspiracy theorists and persons who fail the task of simple logic. It took me less than a day to research the background history related to the event and identify the most the most likely agencies and perpetrators involved. Hint: North sea petroleum “interests”.

I certainly wasn’t alone, as most competent journalists reached the same conclusions less than two weeks following the event. Seymore Hersh simply connected the dots which millions of persons had already connected. No one wants to face the music. They’d rather have the honor of pointing at operatives playing musical chairs in corporate boardrooms…

Cheer on increased surveillance – or accept corruption in the electoral process. It’s their own weaponised migration that’s created the whole issue of course.

On a meta-level, it’s just an excuse to get “chaos” in another headline. “Bit of a delay” is probably more accurate but doesn’t fit the “no global technocracy = chaos” overarching agenda.

BTW Iain Davis has rightly called China a technate but I’d add the Gulf states as examples as pretty much undisguised current technates now. It’s no coincidence that Dubai hosted the recent World Government Summit.

Excuse please, Pedant’s Corner. Re: Fear Porn on the BBC,

“A global pandemic strikes us down, killing millions of people”.

That global pandemic, “killing millions of people” is called the Common Cold.

The global pandemic of influenza is a long way from “striking us down”. Annually, influenza kills only about 6 Million people around the globe. Hunger likewise kill around 6 Million per annum. Neither of these two pestilences rate on the BBC Fear Chart

So what is this BBC “global pandemic” and how could “killing millions of people” globally “strike us down” when the global population is 1000 times greater than 8 million? To really “strike us down” globally a pandemic would have to kill Billions not mere Millions.

The One Health agenda is just another ring of razor wire in the concentration camp. But we were already entrapped by 2020. The Scamdemic was rolled out using existing policies and social conditioning. What more do they need?

Those policies and social conditioning started over a century ago. Its three main foundational supports are the notions of Vaccination, Mental Illness and Public Health.

The number of Ukrainians who want their country to join the European Union rose to a record high of 91% by the end of March but support for joining NATO fell . . . Support for EU membership mostly has hovered around 60% for the past three years but started climbing steeply after Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24 . . . Rating [one of Ukraine’s main independent pollsters] said support for Ukraine joining NATO also rose when the war started, but has since returned to near pre-war levels of around 68%.

Is a report such a survey done in war-time Ukraine realistic?

According to the above, the pre-war polls show support for EU and Nato membership to be consistently well over 50%.

Do you have any numbers other than “20”?

20%.
52 million. (Population of Ukraine at independence, 1991.) The most prosperous and highly developed part of the Soviet Union.
38 million. (Population of Ukraine pre Maidan, 2010.) After 20 years of non stop looting by corrupt oligarchs. Plus 7.5 million more working abroad, scratching a living picking cabbages in Poland. Or working as ubiquitous “Natasha” prostitutes, the only thing Ukraine produces the EU actually wants.
20 million. (Current Population of Cokehead Zelensky’s Ukraine.)
Zero. (Population of Ukraine after Zelensky has fought to the last Ukrainian, and fled to his $8 million mansion in Israel, or his $50 million mansion in Florida, or his $30 million mansion in Italy.)

I suggest you research your sources a bit more!

For what are Ukrainians fighting?
Non stop double gay anal, unlimited child trannies, rainbow coloured dildos all round, Kolomoisky and assorted gangster oligarchs, Bandera, ethnic cleansing, Hunter Biden, Monsanto, Lockheed Martin and Raytheon.

“… and the why you should never trust “some guy said” journalism”

Which is essentially what journalism has become today. It’s so important not to subscribe to that abomination.

It’s not as if it’s new advice either… Buddha apparently mentioned it too:
”Never believe anything just because somebody said it”…

Woodward, former naval intelligence and parachuted into the Washington Post despite an atrocious writing style, showing that he could function-stack with the best of them! He could not only change the President – one elected with a massive majority btw – but publicise and normalise hardcore porn.

Incidentally, Jackie Kennedy played a major role in that too – her attendance at the film was widely advertised. She also seemed strangely content with her nominally Catholic husband to be memoralised with a Luciferian eternal flame. It’s details like these that make the whole Kennedy-as-Jesus-substitute official conspiracy analysis sit not quite right.

A recent comment I made on ConsortiumNews: I think what we have here is the emergence of willing global partners in both co-operation and conflict. The lesson from the Cold War is that the best way to manage the populations within a nation-state is to keep a conflicting relationship always at hand, small or low intensity conflicts which feed the MIC as well as subdue the population. (We know that the “war on terror” was a temporary stop-gap that couldn’t be sustained.) I don’t think the US, Russia or China are truly in a major conflict. This is not to say that there’s never any animosity but it’s always controlled. The real target throughout the ages is the general public . It’s important that the public believe there are these major threats always contending for dominance and always threatening global annihilation. I think the work of Professor Sheldon Wolin, particularly… Read more »

The general rule:

There is a global power structure which selects, grooms, approves, appoints the national “leaders”. If ever the local appointee steps out of line, they get taken out.

Inverted Totalitarianism .. [explains] how the US controls it’s population <=yes ,it fixes election outcomes to match its needs, it denies non party politics, it conducts its affairs in absolute secrecy and it uses MSM to set and control the narrative which drowns out all significant opposition. .

Supposed anomalies and irrationalities:- X. Putin/ Moscow is not really concerned about the Donbas. He has not prevented the shelling of the Donbas, because he doesn’t really care or for some other reason. This is difficult to accept. Kiev has consistently sought to genocide/ ethnically cleanse the region. There is no doubt they would have done so if they could. About 15,000 civilians have been killed there by Azov/ Ukrainian forces since 2014. Shelling with heavy artillery/ sniping etc. Persecution of civilians. This is a major issue inside Russia. Is this difficult to understand? In 1982 Britain went to war against Argentina, 6,000 miles away, ostensibly to protect 2,000 Falkland Islanders, none of whom had been killed or even harmed in any way at the time. Over a period of 8 years, the Ukrainian standing army was built up to a force of 240,000, the largest and most powerful in… Read more »
