it's just the hey buddy, how much sanchez, this is direct impact and this is what we're going to be talking about today. stuff that i think i know if i need to transfer, it says i know your thoughts about kind of insurance and seeing. i don't know if you can tell, obviously you can't know unless you speak german. you don't know exactly what he's saying. but look, here's what's going on. europe is all the above because arrest warrants of finally been issued against you. koreans accused of blowing up the north stream pipeline. where does this investigation lead panel? what you just heard in that interview? we'll explain it. i'm gonna take you through it. i'm gonna change us. hey, let's do this the far right. so that's the big story. it is a buzz, it is a buzz. it should be

a bunch right. germany has officially issued arrest warrants for the people and believes blow up north stream pipeline. and it does point directly at ukraine according to investigators stuff. and i think i know if i need to transfer, it says i know your thoughts about kind of insurance and seeing how stupid time you're going from stopping. i'm good, that's most and you. i made it. we had, nobody mind gets asked to find out how far you yes, i meant those up. i don't know me to tell you can read along, but let me help you. that's the reaction of one german member of parliament saying, yeah, it was definitely ukrainians. a bunch of ukrainians, but then it goes on to say that we should not, we didn't do that, that ukraine was responsible. uh huh. explain to me please, cuz that's difficult to understand. all right, so let me tell you, let me catch you up. i just giving you the rest of the investigation, what seems to be reported. at this point, the german chief prosecutor has ordered the arrest of a man who was now apparently hiding in ukraine. though he was originally living in

poland when he allegedly masterminded this attack, along with a couple of other ukrainian military officials who put the whole thing together after a night of heavy drinking. stay with me here. then they managed to pull off one of the most incredible and destructive acts of sabotage in european history by blowing up one of the most important infrastructure parts of the russian economy. the gas pipelines that helped fuel the homes of both german citizens and other europeans. those gas pipelines sit about, 0300 feet deep under water. okay. not easy to get to. the suspects did all that supposedly by themselves using a relatively small sale boat that you're looking at right there in the middle of the baltic sea. the sail boat is called the andromeda. it's about 15 meters long, which apparently had explosive residues on it, which match the exposes,

use in the blast. all right, so let's just stop there. there's, there's a lot more to tell and there's a lot to catch you up, but that's kind of where we are. but no, let me bring you in at this point for reaction. given that, that's kind of the story and i'm not sure. yeah, and that's underscore that park wreck. this story, that's the story that we're getting right now. and remember, we didn't hear the story until many, many, many months after the this basically was a seismic event, at least according to, to danish authorities because they had seismic monitoring equipment that was on, on board home island. that had said it registered the equivalent of $500.00 k g's worth of t and t this explosive event. and let me remind you, rick, when, when this went down in the fall of 2022, i'm gonna bring you back to my part of the world where i'm from in hollywood. and

in early 2023. the writer strike happened, right? so when the new, the, when the news story hit about what happened to nord stream, it's this ridiculous story that makes no sense. that's full of holes. we don't know who the villains are, who the whatever. and i would say it's because washington couldn't get their hands on decent writers at the time because the writers drank so. so they left it up to people like seymour hersh. all right, well, so, so let's continue. you're right. it's the story so far doesn't make sense. but for the 1st time, they're saying it was ukraine, but at the same time they're saying it was not ukraine. so to ask for the business . she did a good rinky dink sail boat. you just show drama. it's a rinky dink little sail boat and the size mileage is on board home. say this is half a 500500 tea was worth right of explosive. so we're not talking about

a mickey mouse, little, you know, sabotage event. $500.00 kilos is a heavy. yeah, no, they're not. get a couple of drunk guys to swim under and carry 500 k o is. we're not, they're not most uh, they're not robbing a convenient store. and that almost seems like what they're saying so. so let's continue to offer it in this business, and this is why we want to do this. we tell stories like these without proper context. and many of you are, are watching us from all over the world right now, and you probably don't made it background. i don't blame you, you've got a life to live, right? but you don't understand the history of the significance of the north stream pipeline. without that, it's kind of hard to understand why this whole thing happened. who may have done it and why they possibly could have done it. so here's some background. this is a dw documentary we found a kind of lays out the facts quite clearly. here it is championed by 2 friends, rushes vladimir putin and former german chancellor. gerhard schroeder, the envelope and these, this guy,

we need this gas and it's the most economical way to get it. and everyone who deals with the energy policy knows that 50 my stuff is cheap gas flow directly from the board, russia to loop in germany, a distance of over 1200 kilometers. the pipeline right through the baltic was a kick in the teeth for eastern european countries who long earned good money from the pipelines running through their territories. skip this one, i'm talking on the train was skeptical right from the start as it for so exactly, walsh. in fact, what happened? name made this bypassing of ukraine and other countries like poland, which also sold the risks. and because they themselves had pipeline systems which supplied guests to western europe, it sounds to me, if you listen to that, like russian germany, we're simply taking out the middleman to be able to provide the gas from this point to this point directly. right? uh, more efficiently and cheaper uh,

from russia to the people of germany. they were essentially cutting out the money from manila. that's important here, right. we, you know, rick, you can earn a pretty penny being the middle man. and in this case, for ukraine, this provides the motive because now when you cut out the middleman, which is ukraine, me, you're cutting out about one and a half $1000000000.00 worth of transit fees that russia otherwise used to have to pay by going over land to go into western europe to, to transport. uh, this natural gas in for so we're talking big money here. um one and a half $1000000000.00 per year on average. sometimes more, sometimes less. but that is a lot of money for a country like ukraine who never really reassembled their economic viability after the fall of the soviet union. they've kind of been stuck in the ninety's. so that

was really kind of their, their main major source of income for the state was transit fees that they were charging russia in order to traverse across their land. that's a great point. that's a really great point. um and they're not the only ones here. so poland is angry, ukraine is angry and you're cutting us out. we want some of that money. meanwhile, the people of europe are going, hey, that's great, but it's cheaper for us to be able to heat our homes. but there's something else here. this is word seymour hersh comes in and others we have reported this kind of thing. and that is, it's impossible to look at this story without taking into account which country was against the north stream pipeline from the start. and which country had the most dean from its destruction in that country is off united states. i'll take my word for it. what do i know? listen to what the us of baset are to germany said about it. and then listen to president biden say, before the stream was blown up,

that he was going to know that his own words ended. that's what he said. i'm going to end it. listen nord stream to which simply give russia an opportunity to put more of a strangle hold on ukraine and ukraine's economy during this time of tension. and so we were very much against it for geo political purposes. different russian rates . that means tanks or troops crossing the border of ukraine again, then there will be no longer north steam to we. we will figure it out. we will bring an end to it for all that happen. and i'll give you some numbers now. ready, before all that happened. 2021. 47 percent of europe's important natural gas came from russia, delivered inexpensively and directly through those pipelines about for pipelines. in fact, some european countries relied so much on russia that they had almost 80 percent of

their natural gas coming in from russia. now, only about 15 percent of europe's gas comes from russia. so i'm say 13 something 14 subject 15. so whatever some, somewhere in that number, it's not around 50 percent like it used to be. so you ask yourself, okay, so where is that natural gas coming into europe from now? if you guess the united states, you would be right? how much more than 50 percent of the natural gas now being used and received in europe comes from the united states. oh, and manila we should mention that us gas that they're now getting in europe is about twice as expensive as it used to be. when they got a shot, i ain't making it up as a number on you know. well rick, when, when you're such good friends like russia and germany are you, i'm excuse me, the united states in germany now. when you're such a good friend, you don't mind paying

a little bit more work if this quality made in the u. s. a. but then unfortunately, because you're a government, you have to deal with the fallout from your citizens. and then when you also export 3rd party, the cheap gas you use to get from russia into the rest of the european union. and at the time the, the u. k. was, was part of that and they were also getting reaping the benefits of, of, you know, the cheap russian natural gas. everybody in europe, gas prices, obviously their, their energy prices have shot through the roof over the past 2 years. yeah. and that's why we're seeing. so many demonstrations across all of the you and the u. k . i mean, besides some civil strife, people are still very upset and angry about the conditions that have been caused for them because these pipelines are now gone. and let's not forget, rick, these pipelines are not just easy to explode by some. do some drug news on a, on a plate. all right, these are, these are giant fortified heavy sick steel,

the giant pipes right that are fortified over and over and over, covered in, in rubberized material, plastics. and this isn't like the type in your house bringing, you know, the gas to your stove. we're talking a major industrial pipeline. it's not easy to just blow up. now, as far as the germans go, a guy called august handing he's the, the former head of the, the germans version of the ca, the german for an intelligence agency. he is now quoted talking to the press german press. that is, that he says he has reason to believe that poland, alongside ukraine was also involved in this sabotage. and then again, let's also not leave this part out. russia was not allowed to partake in the investigation for the past week near the other, even though the denmark territory, even though the very pipeline along with germany 11,

somewhere between 11 and 13000000000 dollars spent on this. it's your project, you're not allowed to investigate what happened to your product, to your thing, to your infrastructure. i mean, there's a yeah, yeah. okay, holes in this rec, it's, it's almost believable. how they can kind of piece this all together and fill in the gaps. it's like the old saying, just walk along. nothing to say here. nothing to see here. just walk along. we'll take care. we'll take care of this for you. don't worry, we'll take, we'll tell you what we find out and we'll let you know. um, well that's why we're looking into this and that's why context matters. and that's why you said formation is important and we're going to be talking to just one thing . you go ahead one more quick thing. one thing that nobody bothers to also point out, the destruction and the fall out from this gas explosion is we forget that this is basically equal terrorism, besides infrastructure, terrorism to germany,

that is a nato ally to the united states. the explosion, you know, took place in danish territory and it has been estimated that more than 80815000 tons of natural gas escaped and damaged the, the wild life and the ocean floor. yeah, nobody's talking about it. yeah. and we're right. no, it's it's, it's a go terrorism as well. so the animals here are also dying. so no one's talking about that. we're gonna, we're a little quick break bench manila. you're the best and a half. and when we come back, we're gonna stay, stay on this north stream pipeline thing, and we're gonna be drawing about george so well. now he's a senior research fellow at global policy institute, who monitors the numbers that we were just talking about. and can take us through this a little more cuz this is a grill down we should be doing. this is important. nobody in the us to watch as regular news. cash will probably know about it, but the rest of the world is paying attention will be right back. the

the, the, [000:00:00;00] the, to this thing of the continent of boxes. oh send we in said ralph, with the rest of the while. we're going to relate with the winds,

in terms of donations, all his sons of tre, africa must define what she once lived after months define ourselves, cause africa must define ourselves critically. the cause of your guys, no choice, but to move forward forward. she will the what is part of the visit that the employee would post good. isn't the deepest you, wasn't that in the word part? is it something deeper, more complex might be present? good. let's stop without cases. let's go products

or the hey i'm rick sanchez. walker back to direct impact. i'm george join, nobody, georgia. so i'm really senior research fellow at the global policy institute. you know, george, this is one of those stories where as we like to say, if it quacks like a duck, it's usually a duck in the united states had the most to gain from the destruction of the north stream pipeline. the united states has since then gained the most from the destruction of the north stream pipeline. and yet, there are people out there saying, oh no, russia just destroyed its own pipelines. and please don't look at the us and don't look at the ukraine as possibly being responsible for this. am i crazy or just living in an upside down world? so you're absolutely right. it's very, very funny. that's this big um, wall street journal,

a story that appears um the other day makes the number very interesting the disclosures. and what has to assume that the wall street journal is being brief by us intelligence or so, according to the journal, this drunken uh, idea. hey guys, let's, let's blow up north stream. you know, great let's, let's go to it now. so this, this was hatched in a and then you've already in june. this is a june 2022. the dutch intelligence gets wind of it is going to have a dutch get a level depth seemed to have a, the, the right and from the office information, not to the germans. they bosses information to the c i a and the c. i a bosses it onto the john. so june 2022. germany is already fully cognizant

of what ukraine is doing. um, but there's another twist. stood according to the c. i a, it was the lensky himself who uh, gave the order to to go ahead and do this. and he told me, uh, the uh, the top military man, so go organize the get it done. and then the, the americans apparently said no, no, no, don't, don't do it. don't you know, is this the, the, just the dangers this is escalate? torre last thing we want to do is escalate tensions. um, so is that landscape honestly then when, when do the allusion is a no, we got to call it all. and um, and zillow is that all the way you know, way you can stop that and still went ahead with it. so, um, do you want me to you about this uh, the 3 months before the destruction of the pipe and the americans knew about this 3 months before the dot you about those 3 months before. and yeah, when it happens,

they allow this nonsensical like ization to be made that, oh, rush, i did it just through the so, you know, for some reason rupture wanted to destroy its own property. oh, well this is, this is really bad. um and um, well yeah, what's remarkable about this is that if what this, this is what this thing is saying that the landscape uh hatch. this plan, instructors illuminated, the loosely just said, uh, you know, i'm going to go ahead and do it. then you'll, you'll basically signing off on sending palms billions and billions of them dollars the was supposed deadly weapons imaginable to people who are destroying your own infrastructure. you know, as i mean, as that's a great point, that's a great point. i hadn't even thought about that. that is it? absolutely. that's what you're doing. you know, these are the people you're, you're financing that to destroy your own infrastructure,

your own energy in the states. then the, the making you, you can only can find actually depends at the bottom, the united states that wiping out your interest rate. and these are your allies, these are the people you want to saw, that the gong financing this, of the people hope so. oh, you know about it's, that's a great point. help us understand that this is a one quagmire and all of this that i've never understood. maybe i just don't understand the german id ology. maybe i don't get it, but why wouldn't germany not be on a full out of salt to get to the bottom of this to find out a whole did this here. i don't thing that is going to make very citizens have to pay more, possibly not be able to heat their homes through the winter and all of these things not to mention sabotaging their own infrastructure because it wasn't only shared infrastructure. if you think about it, i mean it's, it's a gas pipeline that takes gas from russia to germany. it's half the german and have russian, even though it's russian, but it's like,

it's part of their infrastructure. why would they be so nonchalant about it? i, that's the part of the story i don't understand. can you help? most people say, i'm not doing this that other than to think of your best now occupied territory or the unit europe is, has no independence, no solver, and it's a of its own. it's a, in the colonial, our post of the united states. so germany cannot begin an investigation because it knows what they can, what was the investigation is going to point to the real culprit. and that's the boss, the one who owns everything. so, you know, to go to investigate and, and, and point the finger a lot of the but, but here stop, know, how does that give? so when we, i just showed some video a minute ago that was really cool. you say god, schroeder and vladimir put in shaking hands saying, hey, let's do this. it makes sense. it'll be good for you, your people, it will be good for me, my people, hey, hello, all right, sign deal, let's do it. how does that go from that were 2 countries could just have an

understanding, you don't have to like the other country, but if you've got a business deal, you've got a business deal, right. how do i go from that to what you were just talking about? where they just know i, we, we don't want gas, we're willing to suffer to make sure that we don't get anything good for our people from russia. well, it's a good, you know, the dev schroeder get an x ray that in 2002 came out against the american plan to invade iraq. very open a very upfront. he said, we don't think they brought the many adventures morrow, but we're not even going to allow our country to be used to send the forces when all the help the americans do a, you know, to use our country to transport. man. uh um, uh you know that uh, transportation to a rock t he, it was a very hard line that it took. yeah, i wanted to try to show the last the next election. so in other words, the germans chose to be a supplicant to be a totally dependent entity. you know,

they, they have a chancellor who was actually saying, yeah, we're not going to take any part, went on allow america to use our territory for this non sensical adventure. and he was rejected by the german vote design. they got this a creature angular model who had to endure humiliation of the humiliation. and she didn't mind, you know, she, you know, she was found out that her own telephone was top the americans listening to all her personal phone calls. she didn't have a problem with that, and the germans didn't have a brother berrago bomb. i went to german, it's do street, did like a hero. well, he's a great, now just, this is a present. it was listening in the chancellor's phone conversation. the germans had no problem with it and not schroeder is a marginalized vega job and he's constantly trying to defend himself. they inflict the humiliation off he was rightly ation when he was right. but he was right about

everything in the absence of a 100 percent. right. everybody else was wrong. yeah, yeah. so, so what happens now? i mean, we've got this investigation looks like at least it's an investigation. there's some guy who did this and hiding out a new crane. shouldn't the rest of the world say to the ukraine and it's government? i give this guy up. he's the tires. i was saying that why not? it was a game and nobody really wants to go and investigate this uh too far. because if of course you grand what to give him. uh he has got to stop pointing fingers. he is not going to take the rack. uh huh. is that who is going to say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, i, i did it and you know, who told me to do it, although i, you know, i've got a phone conversation with zillow z, i mean, oh, zillow is the landscape. so nobody is going to want to press ahead with this. uh, ukraine doesn't have an extradition treaty with jeremy know that i know that your brain has an extradition treaty with anybody. so your grades, i'm going to give him a. he was in poland. the grows allowed him to escape so that

they got the window. oh, german is going to make an extradition request. so they say bye bye. you know, you can go now. sorry, his gong is out of my hands. so no, no one's going to go ahead with this. and uh, there was an article, a read today about is illusion is it was illusion. he is now the ukrainian of basset to the u. k. so he enjoys diplomatic the day. so you call when you think about it. oh, i see. so you're going to have a wrestler, runs issued to russian. president, arrest warrants against lilian, presidents, and whatever. but you're terribly, a ukranian ambassador has immunity of care. sorry, there's nothing we can do. you cannot make this stuff up, you put a guy in hollywood as a my colleague, manila would say, couldn't come up with a story as ridiculous as this. and yet they do and nobody's looking so they can get away with the georgia or the like to talk to thank you. my friend enjoyed the conversation,

but i enjoyed it very much. right. so our show. can you believe this stuff? look uh i always say try and look outside your own box when you're looking for truths truths don't live in boxes. boy, is this ever a great example of that off? i'm rick sanchez, will be looking for you and the proxy by next time the

the, [000:00:00;00] the in the 1870s, the colonial expansion of the british empire in the nile valley in greece, debris, it is decided to get complete control over sudan. however, the deeply religious people of that country did not want to obey 4 laws. the unceremonious intervention of british officials led to people's discontent. it's

spokesmen was the theologians mohammed all thought blamed himself the marty. the design began to gather an army against the invaders. by 1884, most of the sudanese cities were in the hands of the monitors. great britain decided to intervene directly, but the troops of ahmad gave the invaders at drubbing in 1885. the rebels, the capital car to the feet of britain was totaled only by the very end of the 19th century. after the death of ahmad, the british were able to regain their control of sudan. unable to defeat the living body, the british took revenge on the dead one. these remains were drawn out of the mazda liam, and throw the way into the nile. ahmad said was brought to england as a trophy. however, the victory of the modest revolt became the 1st successful action of the peoples of africa against the colonial afresh,

and remained at dark stain on the reputation of the british empire. the cold of march 1944, a desk created on hitler's personal odor. for our issues, the typhus became
