Claim: Analysis of Satellite Data Reveals Two "Dark Ships," With Their Transponder Beacons Turned Off to Deny Location Data to World, In Area of Nord Stream Pipelines Near Times of Explosions
According to the analysis by satellite data monitoring firm SpaceKnow, the two "dark ships," each measuring around 95 to 130 meters long, passed within several miles of the Nord Stream 2 leak sites. "We have detected some dark ships, meaning vessels that were of a significant size, that were passing through that area of interest," says Jerry Javornicky, the CEO and cofounder of SpaceKnow. "They had their beacons off, meaning there was no information about their movement, and they were trying to keep their location information and general information hidden from the world," Javornicky adds. The discovery, which was made by analyzing images from multiple satellites, is likely to further increase speculation about the cause of the blasts. Multiple countries investigating the incident believe the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines were rocked by a series of explosions, with many suspicions directed at Russia as its full-scale invasion of Ukraine continues. (Russia has denied its involvement.) Once SpaceKnow identified the ships, it reported its findings to officials at NATO, who are investigating the Nord Stream incidents. Javornicky says NATO officials asked the company to provide more information. ... By international law, large ships are required to install and use AIS [Automatic Identification System]. This vessel tracking system was created to help ships navigate and avoid potential collisions with other vessels. When turned on, AIS will broadcast a ship's name, location, the direction of travel, speed, and other information. It is relatively rare for ships to turn off their AIS transponders. Ships that "go dark" are often suspected of being involved in illegal fishing or modern slavery, with officials in Europe previously investigating ships that are believed to have turned off their AIS transponders.

Did they identify that there were ships, or did they identify the ships?
This strikes me as a case of bad writing. The rest of the excerpt seems to imply that they identified only that ships were there. There's a big difference between "there were ships there" and "these specific ships were there."

Or a false flag. There is a fair amount of that throughout history. When the Soviets tried to nuke Hawaii, they used subs and closer-than-needed range and surfaced them before firing when they didn't need to, because they were trying to impersonate Chinese subs.
So why use surface ships when you have better tools available (if that's what happened)? If you're trying to pin it on someone that does not have those better tools available, that would be one reason.

One time when Little VIA was returning to Norfolk on the Carrier, I texted him to tell hi exactly where he was, and finally not only the correct pier, but which side to the pier and bow out.
US Carriers take tugboats in a specific location on the ships hull. And Tugboats don't turn AIS off, even if the Carrier has theirs off.
Just find the tugs, in that distinct pattern, with an empty AIS hole in the middle of them. And there you are.

That's not how I read that.
It sounds like the reporter was doing their job. Someone tells them, "There were ships with their AIS turned off near the pipeline."
What are the natural follow up questions?
What's AIS?
> Ship ID system.
How often do ships have their AIS turned off?
> Not often, it's required by law.
What reasons might a ship have their AIS turned off, other than to blow up the pipeline?
> Almost all reasons are nefarious, like human trafficking, drug smuggling, illegal fishing, etc.

Simple grid search, high-resolution ROV cameras, and assume a "fish" equipped with articulated mechanical arms and retrieval baskets.
I.D. suspicious debris which might be bomb-casings, trigger devices or other bits which are *not* pipeline parts. But do bring up some shattered pipeline fragments, especially those with readily apparent blast damage.
There'll be a lot of forensic evidence in the debris, and they wouldn't even have to send a diver down to fetch it. Question then would be: WHO is going to sort through the debris, and (maybe?) tell the truth about what was found? And that's where the doubt surfaces, right along with the debris itself.

Think we can rule out Russia as it removes their leverage on Germany. It would be a very bold act by China to do it and piss off their major gas supplier to boot. So US or UK if underwater submarine tech was used. If surface ships, then to the usual suspects throw in Poland as the explosion happened after a new pipeline from Norway gas fields went active.
Sweden, Germany, Russia, US, UK, France, Chinese, Israelis, mebbe Poland if not involved probably know who did this as all of them have competent intel services.
Russia blames the UK and if not caused by accident as per LawDog, that is the most reasonable working hypothesis along with the swift removal of Truss as PM. Not enough time for back benchers to push her out.

All those Russian superyachts that got seized when Russia invaded Ukraine are turning out to be money pits. Bloomberg reports that seized Russian superyachts are sitting at ports all over and running into money pits. And taxpayers may be the ones opening their wallets to maintain them.
It looked like we were sticking it to the Russians without actually getting involved in the war. But in the months since the invasion began, the superyachts are turning into floating money pits. We’re essentially paying to maintain these yachts.

Former President Donald Trump has been privately encouraging allies to support McCarthy's bid for House speaker, according to two sources familiar with the effort, believing that the California Republican will be an asset down the road should the former president find himself in a contested 2024 primary.
Trump reaffirmed his support for McCarthy's leadership bid in an interview with Fox News last week and he has since been working the phones to persuade Republican allies to back him, particularly conservative members who remain skeptical of McCarthy.
"The strategy is to protect McCarthy from blame because [Trump] needs him for his presidential run," said one Trump adviser.
Trump has been eager to lock up public support from Republicans for his third presidential bid, with a separate GOP source saying he has been asking to see which GOP lawmakers have endorsed him in the media.

Eh, McCarthy had always been less anti-Trump and seemingly willing to play ball. Trump doesn't really hold grudges and did not from the outset try to crush the GOPe the way they had attacked him in primaries. It's only really later on with McConnell and Romney becoming clearly and enduringly hostile that he turns against them.
The transactional, businessman mindset tends to play out like that.

Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.).
"We've already been through two years where we saw Republicans - Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger — cross over and join the Democrats and produce a Jan. 6 committee," Greene said.
"The danger is this, do we want to watch a challenge for Speaker of the House simply because the 'Never Kevin' movement - just like we've seen a 'Never Trump" movement - do we want to see that challenge open the door to Nancy Pelosi handing the gavel to Liz Cheney?"

"And so far, no one has had the nerve to step forward and challenge Sen. McConnell," Cotton continued. "So, I support Sen. McConnell. I support the other slate of candidates for our leadership elections."
Sen. Tom Cotton said he was opposed to delaying leadership elections in the Senate.
Cotton said he believed it would be better to move ahead with the elections and keep the focus on the upcoming runoff in Georgia between GOP Senate candidate Herschel Walker and Democratic incumbent Raphael Warnock.

More of them are from other Central and South American countries than from Mexico. The other issue is visa overstayers which are from a worldwide population of immigrants. About 50 percent of the illegal population is believed to be people that came here on visas and then refused to leave.

Heh. I was referring to my favorite conspiracy theory of all time.
After the Panic of 1907 (when JP Morgan bailed out the US), a bunch of people were terrified over what happened and knew they got lucky with JPM doing what he did. Many of them - JPM among them - advocated for the formation of the Federal Reserve System to avoid that problem in the future. There was wide support among the financiers and government, but not full support. Many people with actual influence and money - chiefly Guggenheim and Astor - were staunchly opposed to the concept and torpedoed various attempts to implement it.
The conspiracy theory goes that the financiers arranged to have the Titanic sink in order to get rid of Guggenheim, Astor and a a few others. With them dead, the opposition power base collapsed and the Federal Reserve boosters had smooth sailing (pardon the phrasing) and implemented it the next year.

• In return, Putin and cronies would avoid war crimes prosecution and remain in power, Valery Solovey claimed.

Since McCarthy has only the slimmest majority, let him take the seat but force him to give authority to the Freedom Caucus to investigate things that will help Trump, such as Biden corruption and election theft.
McCarthy is viewed as slime, but someone who can be pressured to do what they want. McConnell is deep state and will use the deep state to take people down. So the time to get him out and replace with Rick Scott is now.
Pay attention to who get the #2 spot in the Senate, if it isn't Thune, then McConnell is going to retire next year after the KY Gov election.

The question is whether it was good for Putin. He would certainly do things - has done many things - that are very bad for Russia, as long as they help him keep power. What does this do for Putin?
Lots of oligarchs and regime biggies want to go back to the status quo ante bellum, get off the sanctions list, visit their Italian villas, and sail their yachts around without worrying they'll be confiscated.
Until the pipelines were blown up, they could have done that. Depose or kill Putin, withdraw the Russian army from Ukraine, stop bombing Ukrainian cities, turn the NS1-2 gas back on so the Germans don't freeze, and NATO will be so grateful they might not even insist on reparations. Now they can't turn the gas pipeline back on, so turning back the clock isn't an available option.
I don't know whether Putin blew up the pipelines, but he's a plausible suspect. Of course no one except the perpetrators knows for sure who did it. Similarly, no one knows who killed Daria Dugina. Too many plausible suspects.
