but coming up with better speech, better ideas, the american people are being actively deceived by the united states government. and this deception is being perpetrated and encouraged by a, a compliant mainstream media. and it's only through the actions of independent journalists, alternative media, people such as myself, that we, we can challenge this. and so literally what's happening right now is the api i, the department of justice is seeking to suppress the challenge to the ongoing deceptions carried out by the united states government about what's happening in ukraine, about russia. and the danger of this is that if we don't get to grips with reality, if we don't seek to try and improve relations with russia, we are on the slippery slope that heads in one direction in one direction only. and that's nuclear war holiday is a rock for the sound like 6 me come down for choosing all to each day. and every day news we have to see soon have a great weekend. the
7:31 pm
7:32 pm
and this is what we're going to be talking about today. stuff. and i think i know if i need to transfer, it says i know you're the kind of shows that scene. i don't know if you can tell, obviously you can't. now unless you speak german, you don't know exactly what he's saying. but look, here's what's going on. europe is all above because arrest warrants are finally been issued against ukrainians, accused of blowing up the north stream pipeline. where does this investigation lead part of what you just heard in that interview? we'll explain it. i'm gonna take you through it. i'm gonna transfer you as hey, let's do this. the . all right, so that's the big story. it is a buzz. it is a buzz. it should be a buzz right? germany has officially issued arrest warrants for the people and believes blew up the north stream pipeline. and it does point directly at ukraine according to investigators stuff. and i think. busy if i need to transfer,
7:33 pm
it says i know you're the kind of anxious and seeing how stupid tired of going from stopping. i'm good. that's gonna send you admittedly, i know my mind gets asked to find out so far. yes, i meant those. i forget. i don't know who 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. explained 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
7:34 pm
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 in an actual yeah,
7:35 pm
and that's underscore that part, rick, the 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 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 going to 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 north stream, it's this ridiculous story that makes no sense. that's full of holes. we don't know
7:36 pm
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 of writers, right. 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 yeah, 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 500 south 500 t 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 yet 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
7:37 pm
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, are watching us from all over the world right now. and you probably don't make the 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. champions of my 2 friends, rushes vladimir food and former german chancellor. gerhard schroeder, the envelope and these, this guy, we need this guy and it's the most economical way to get it. and everyone who deals with the energy policy knows that 50 biased us, oh, this cheap gas glowed directly from the board, russia to loop in germany. a distance of over 1200 kilometers the pipeline right
7:38 pm
through the baltic was a kick in the teeth for eastern european countries who had 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 gas 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. man. manila that's important here, right? we, you know, rick, you can earn
7:39 pm
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. mm hm. 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 this natural gas interest. so we're talking big money here. i'm 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,
7:40 pm
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. it's cheaper for us to be able to heat our homes. but there's something else here. this is where the 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 as us united states don't 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 most stream was blown up. that he was going to know that his own words ended . that's what he said, i'm going to ended. listen, nordstrom, to which simply give russia an opportunity to put more of a stranglehold on ukraine and ukraine's economy during this time of tension. and so
7:41 pm
we were very much against it for geo political purposes. if a russian bates, 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 happened. let me 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 come from russia. some say 13 something, 14 subject 15, some whatever, some, somewhere that number,
7:42 pm
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 shift, 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 it's quality made in the u. s. a. but then unfortunately, because you're a government, you have to deal with the fall out 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
7:43 pm
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 u. n. 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, no hype in your house bringing, you know, the gas to your stove. we're talking
7:44 pm
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 there no, no, no nearby. there pipeline along with germany. 11. so between $11.00 and $13000000000.00 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,
7:45 pm
there's a yeah, yeah, and 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 of, we'll take care of this for you. don't worry. what time will 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
7:46 pm
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 benjamin. oh, 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 drill down. we should be doing. this is important. nobody in the us to watch as regular newscasts will probably know about it. but the rest of the world is paying attention will be right back. the water is part of the
7:47 pm
valuable posted isn't the deepest view of us and that in the word part is it something deeper, more complex might be present there? let's stop without cases. let's go products as there was a time when i started to was abused to obtain flowers divided the continental langford amongst themselves. it was divided as a hunting ground. if we do not unite the corner knives as we come out again, we know that they are those who want the mazda continent to step in 8 foot the mazda clinton, and never be stopped, because the mazda continent must be great. she will only be great. one of the show does all of us sons and daughters on by the sweat. all right,
7:48 pm
so now click on the goodwill time slots on let us confess about underground eastern or the mazda upon the the, hey, i'm rick sanchez, walker back the direct impact. i'm george join out by the georgia some 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. uh, 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 rush, it just destroyed its own pipelines. and please don't look at the us and don't look
7:49 pm
at the ukraine as possibly being responsible for this. and my crazy are just living in an upside down world. 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 the north stream. you know, great let's, let's go to it now. so this, this was hatched in a and then people ready in june. this is a june 2022. the dutch intelligence gets wind of it. don't have a dutch get a little depth seemed to have a to the, the ranking from the cost is information not to the germans. they bosses
7:50 pm
information to the c i a and the c i a boss. is it onto the john? so june 2022. germany is already fully cognizant of what ukraine is doing. um, but there's another, a twisted according to the c. i a, it was zalinski 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 is escalate? torre last thing we want to do is escalate tensions as the landscape firefly. then when the, when do this, illusion is a, now 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, jeremy,
7:51 pm
to you about this uh, the 3 months before the destruction of the pipe and the americans knew about this 3 months before the dots knew about those 3 months before. and yet when it happens, they allow this nonsensical like is ation to be made that, oh, rush, i did it just through the so, you know, for some reason richard wanted to destroy its own property. oh, well this is, this is really bad. um and um, well you, what's remarkable about this is that if what this, this is what this thing is saying that is the landscape uh, hatch this plan uh, instructions 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 most deadly weapons imaginable to people who are destroying your own
7:52 pm
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'll, you'll find on things that destroy your own infrastructure, your own energy industry, then the, the making you, you can only can they find actually depends at the bomb the united states. they wiping out your interest rate. and these are your allies, these are the people you want a saw that the gong financing this of the people don't. so i don't you know about if that's a great point, help us understand that this is the 11 buyer 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 who 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
7:53 pm
not to mention sabotaging their own infrastructure because it was really 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 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 of you to say, i'm not doing this that other than to think of your, of us now occupied territory or the unit europe is, has no independence, no solver. and it's a of its own. it say in the colonial, our post of the united states. so germany cannot begin an investigation because those, but think of 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, go to investigate and, and, and point the finger a lot of the bottom the but, but here stop. no, how does that get? so when we, i just showed some video a minute ago,
7:54 pm
that was really cool. you see the hard, schroeder and bottom, i put it 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? we're 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. i was think what you know, the gap had schroeder get ahead, shrouded in 2002, came out against the american plan to invade iraq. very open a very upfront. he said, we don't think people are the many adventures morrow, but we're not even going to allow our country to be used to send the forces. we're all going to help the americans to a, you know, to use our country to transport. man. uh um, uh you know that uh,
7:55 pm
transportation to a rock t he, it was a very hard line that it took. yeah, i wanted to try to shoulder 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 jobs. so that was actually saying, yeah, we're not going to take any baldwin on allow america to use our territory for this non sensical adventure. and he was rejected by the german vote. as i'm the god this creature angular motto, 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 it into all her personal phone calls. she didn't have a problem with that, and the germans didn't have a brother. barrack obama went to germany. stuart street did like a hero. well, he's a great man. uses keith. this is a pleasant, is listening in the, the chancellor's phone conversation. the germans had no problem with it and not
7:56 pm
schroeder is a marginalized vega in 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. and everybody else was wrong. yeah, yeah. so, 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 is hiding out a new crane. shouldn't the rest of the world say to ukraine and it's government, hey, give this guy up to us. i was saying that why not? it was a game. and nobody really wants to go and investigate this uh too far because if it goes you grand, what to give him. uh he has got to stop pointing fingers. he's not going to take the rap as 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, it was, it was a landscape. so no one is gonna want to press ahead with this. uh ukraine doesn't
7:57 pm
have an extradition treaty with jeremy know that i know that you ran as 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 extra they should request so they say bye bye. and 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 it goes an article, a read today about this illusion is it was the allusion is now the ukrainian a basset to the u. k. so he enjoys diplomatic. the, so you call when you think about it, oh, i see. so you're going to have a rest war veterans issue to russian president iris what runs the games literally, and presidents and whatever. but it's exactly a ukrainian and baffled it has in units you've category, there's nothing we can do. you cannot make this stuff up. you put
7:58 pm
a guy in the hollywood as uh, 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 charger to like to talk to. thank you. my friend enjoyed the conversation. i enjoyed it very much, but that's 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, boys, this ever a great example of that off. i'm rick sanchez, will be looking for you and the proxy by next time the cause i don't want you to be not. so someone that just didn't want to say i'm on this for face issue. i have to fall
7:59 pm
under the guise of evacuation about 50000 people were transported. the the main purpose of this concentration camp in federal rules was to in think prisoners was typhus and use them as a human shield against the advancing. so it'd be it on me getting mine, but feeling in coupon you put them in the sky when it was in love with like you can pick up with the ship that your stuff up and stuff like that, but don't want to bring your name the i'm so sorry i missed because on your certificate seems to put your side of that as a to see if the nazis use people is biological weapons, leaving them to perish without food. was a motion to the door of small it there for me. if i did so could if they knew who lives, i knew what you smell it to the can you put the intrinsic nation way and there should have just put an easy, easy way to ship for them to move the cam gloucester 10 days or what else made it
8:00 pm
drastically defense for mazda camps of the 3rd rice watch on t. the breaking news on op team roof, pull some uh, take care of how to 9 dolphin dot t bone for use on rocks and you get a power pump on the weapons with radioactive pool head that could be used in tons of attacks already out of the one site also has the large shopping mall and done yet is set to place in a ukrainian missed falls. try leaving 2 people dads, anava 11 with the problems with his route warning. the confrontation with tyrone is inevitable. legs for pool published by folks new sense of view.
