The 2020’s most fascinating whodunit is playing out on computer screens around the world: Government investigators, hobby sleuths, and curious members of the public are trying to establish who sabotaged the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines last Sept. 26. But while most of us are simply eager to know who the culprit is, it’s a far more consequential matter for the private sector.
Western European companies invested billions of dollars in the pipelines. Whether their insurance will cover the losses caused by the sabotage depends on who perpetrated it. And as the global geopolitical standoff intensifies, companies face many more enormous losses, hunts for the perpetrator, and disputes about whether the harm was an act of war.
Was the culprit a commando traveling from Germany’s Rostock Port toward the Nord Stream pipelines on a rented yacht 20 days before the blast, leaving explosive residue behind in the vessel? Were the passengers linked to the blasts that disabled the pipelines a short time later? Or should we instead focus our attention on the oil tanker Minerva Julie, which hovered above the blast sites while traveling between Rotterdam, Netherlands, and St. Petersburg, Russia, in the weeks before the blasts? Were both involved? If so, were they connected to the government of Russia or another country?
Authorities in Sweden and Denmark, in whose exclusive economic zones the blasts occurred, are investigating as are German federal police agencies. But so, too, are Russian authorities (conclusion: Britain’s Royal Navy did it), open-source intelligence specialists, journalist Seymour Hersh (conclusion: America did it), and countless would-be sleuths with no particular skills but enormous curiosity.
For the pipelines’ owners though, the investigations are about hard cash and clear evidence, not speculative theories...

Would insurance agencies also like to know where COVID came from or how effective mRNA gene therapy injections are?
When those with natural resources refuse to use them, the few that use theirs control the rest of us.
Insurance companies aren’t involved with the mRNA “vaccine” because they are excluded from culpability thanks to our Congress giving Big Pharma lawsuit immunity. Insurance companies don’t have a dog in that fight.
LOL, yeah, that’s true, but here?
I think this could become a very interesting thread.
Yes they do. Fraud steps away that immunity.
“or another country”.
Gee, I wonder who that could be?
Who warned ,and was laughted at for Germany to depend on Russian oil??
Who has to money to pull it off?
Well?
Donald Trump!!
