It’s funny, I was just sitting around worrying about Aqua Russians.

Now, I’m finding out from very intelligent and honest people that my fears are justified.

May the Big Bang and Climate Science save us from these Aqua Russians. Shalom.

The Guardian:

The security of nearly 1 billion people across Europe and North America is under threat from Russian attempts to target the extensive vulnerabilities of underwater infrastructure including windfarms, pipelines and power cables, a Nato commander has warned.

V Adm Didier Maleterre, the deputy commander of Nato’s Allied Maritime Command (Marcom), said the network of underwater cables and pipes on which Europe’s power and communications depend were not built to withstand the “hybrid warfare” being pursued by Moscow and other Nato adversaries.

“We know the Russians have developed a lot of hybrid warfare under the sea to disrupt the European economy, through cables, internet cables, pipelines. All of our economy under the sea is under threat,” he said.

“And, to be very clear, we know what Russians have developed as far as nuclear submarines to operate under the sea. So we are not naive and we [Nato countries] are working together.”

Submarines?

Under the sea? 

May the good fact checkers watch over us, and may the pharmaceutical industry have mercy on our souls.

Shalom.

The comments come after two incidents of suspected sabotage on gas pipelines in the Baltic in the last 18 months – first on Nord Stream 1 and 2 in September 2022, followed by the Balticconnector in October last year. Despite extensive investigations by multiple states both remain unsolved, although Finland said in December that “everything indicated” a Chinese ship had purposely damaged the Balticconnector with its anchor.

Maleterre, a submariner who said he had himself spent “more than 1,000 days under the sea”, said the environment had changed dramatically since much of the current infrastructure was first developed by the private sector, leaving it extremely vulnerable.

“They [the companies responsible for them] didn’t know that such hybrid warfare would develop so rapidly. More than 90% of [the] internet is under the sea. All our links between the US, Canada and Europe are transmitting under the sea, so there are a lot of vulnerabilities.”

Do these people appear to be a bunch of retards?

It seems that way to me.

It’s weird that all of these powerful institutions would be run by retards. It’s counterintuitive and suspicious.

This happened a couple of days ago, but at the time of writing I couldn’t find any major English language outlet that has reported on it other than Breitbart and RT.

It’s possibly the biggest act of eco-terrorism ever.

Breitbart:

A mob of as many as two hundred far-left eco-extremists attacked an industrial plant in the French commune of Bouc-Bel-Air over the weekend, causing significant damage to facilities and vehicles.

The attack took place on Saturday at an industrial plant belonging to the French cement giant Lafarge in Bouc-Bel-Air, a small community located just north of the city of Marseille.

Various sources claim anywhere between a hundred and two hundred eco-extremists stormed the industrial facility. Within fifteen minutes, the mob smashed offices and workshops, set construction machinery on fire, and severed electrical cables, broadcaster BFMTV reports.

On Sunday, Lafarge released a statement saying the extremists had caused “Very significant damage,” to facilities, buildings and vehicles and labelled the attack as “unprecedented violence.”

A far-left French website took credit for the attack, claiming that the industrial plant is one of the “biggest polluters and producers of CO2 in the country.”

“Here in Bouc-Bel-Air, the ovens that have been targeted, long fed by industrial waste and tires, are now the symbol of greenwashing. Air pollution is considerable and has been repeatedly denounced by all the press and local residents. However, chimneys still spew their venom,” the extremists wrote.

“Lafarge and its accomplices hear nothing of the anger of the generations they leave without a future in a world ravaged by their misdeeds. Their machines, silos and mixers are weapons that kill us. They will not cease without being forced to do so,” the group said.

“So we will continue to dismantle this infrastructure from the disaster ourselves. We call on all those who rise up for the earth to occupy, block and disarm the concrete,” they added.

The wacky thing is that the government is supporting these supposed outlaw eco-terrorists. The terrorism is not against the government or other powerful people, it is against normal people.

It’s a very bizarre dynamic on its face, but when you think about it, it makes a lot of sense from the position of the government. Governments have always faked popular support for their agenda, so there is no logical reason not to fake dangerous radical support for their agenda.
