Fehmarn Island is Germany's third largest island and a popular resort in Schleswig-Holstein. Germans love salty sea air, cold sea water, and they don't mind a bit of rain. They're used to it, it's theirs. On that afternoon of August 3rd, the rain had just stopped and the sky had cleared. The tourists gazing at the tip of the island were waiting for the sunset, but instead they saw something that had not happened in this peaceful world for generations. From Denmark, in the direction of the Baltic Sea, two giant USS warships swam into the picture, the USS Kearsarge, followed by the USS Arlington.

The Kearsarge is a gigantic amphibious warship, the Arlington is used for special landing operations. Their third companion, Gunston Hall, had already passed the same route three days earlier. Four thousand US Marines with military equipment and a military mission. The ships crossed the sea at seventeen knots, so it is no wonder that the next day at dawn they were already in Danish territorial waters, precisely at the island of Bornholm. Until now, it was possible to follow their path because the ships in the Bornholm area had turned off their automatic identification system, and from then on they disappeared from the eyes of the locators. According to the plans, they demonstrated the force for a week in the Baltic Sea, then headed for an unknown, secret destination.

The incident was reported on the same day by the NDR, i.e. the true North German public service media. They probably forgot to ask if it was allowed.

Their experts evaluated the parade of American ships as a sign of support for the Baltic and Scandinavian countries, which also contained a message of determination against Russia. The Americans fulfilled a dual mission. With the parade, they showed that America can always be counted on, America protects against the Russian threat and never lets its allies down. This is especially necessary now, because the rumor is that the appetite of the Russian bear has increased, and the three Baltic states will be the next bite down its throat. Russia should know that the United States has the resources and the will to use them at any time!

Thus, the Americans also joined NATO's reinforced presence in the Baltics, circling back and forth in international waters, if their business led them and if the strategists saw fit, they even turned off the locator. At the beginning of August, there was nothing unusual in this, nor in the fact that the disappearance took place at the height of the island of Bornholm. Maybe the warships had a triple mission? Maybe they took with them the descendants of Búvár Kund or simple robots who dived into the sea to see if the gas line was there?

To further weave the thread of the conspiracy theory, I quote the German Minister of the Interior, Nancy Faeser. Ten days after the incident, Ms. Faeser gave a lecture on the exposure of gas terminals and pipelines. "We must prepare for possible attacks on critical infrastructures," he told Bild am Sonntag, warning of possible Russian threats. And he himself was warned by the CIA that an attack on the Baltic Sea gas pipelines was expected. This happened after the show of force American warships left the northern international waters with the Diver Kunds on board. It probably did not even occur to the American secret service that the German Minister of the Interior would share secret information with the press. Of course, this information will only be filled with additional content afterwards, when the sabotage has taken place.

I won't mention Biden's much-played interview now, it would be unnecessary to rely on the fact that he already promised in February, which happened now. Everyone in the enlightened world knows that the gas pipeline was damaged by the Russians. After all, it is not in Western Europe's interest to cut off Russian gas, because it gave up on it a long time ago. It is true that the EU wisely did not introduce a gas sanction so that when the cold winter comes, it can dance back, and perhaps open Nordstream 2, which has been waiting for the commissioning license since February. It is certain that the two northern streams will not deliver Russian gas this winter. Europe needs, among other things, the extremely expensive American shale gas.

For my part, I am glad that the Germans only thought of themselves when they selfishly built both Russian gas pipelines in the north. It didn't even occur to them to worry about the gas supply of Central European countries. And I am also glad that the South Stream that supplies us bypasses Ukraine, because the Ukrainians themselves could do the damage to a pipeline running there.
