REPORT — According to journalists at the German publication Der Spiegel, the perpetrators of the Nord Stream pipeline bombings were allegedly 12 Ukrainian citizens under the leadership of Roman Chervinsky, who had previously undergone training in the CIA.

The group reportedly used fraudulent Romanian and Bulgarian passports, arrived in Poland, and rented a yacht following training in a lake and a flooded mine on Ukrainian territory.

"Seasickness" was the alleged culprit for the perpetrators to not plant as many bombs as intended. Ultimately, six bombs were planted on the gas pipeline branches, but one did not go off. The B pipe of Nord Stream 2 remained untouched.

Der Spiegel claims that the operation was approved by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Zaluzhny, and Zelensky allegedly knew nothing about it.

According to Der Spiegel, Western curators gave the order to cancel it, but those who carried it out simply disobeyed. They also planned to disable the Turkish Stream, but the attack failed. (Rybar)

JUST IN 🇺🇸🦅 "Formal Endorsement of Kash Patel for FBI Director issued by Veterans for America First

Veterans for America First proudly endorses Kash Patel as the next FBI Director. Kash Patel’s unparalleled leadership, dedication to national security, and unwavering loyalty to President Donald J. Trump make him the ideal candidate to restore trust and accountability to the FBI.

As the former Chief of Staff to Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller, Patel led the Department’s mission with distinction, managing executive staff and advising the Secretary on all operations. His leadership was instrumental in ensuring the Department met its objectives effectively and decisively.

Previously, Patel served as Deputy Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Counterterrorism at the National Security Council. In this role, he executed several of President Trump’s top priorities, including eliminating ISIS and Al-Qa’ida leadership figures such as al-Baghdadi and Qasem al-Rimi. Patel also orchestrated the safe repatriation of numerous American hostages, demonstrating his ability to achieve critical results under pressure.

As Principal Deputy to the Acting Director of National Intelligence, Patel managed the operations of all 17 intelligence community agencies and provided the President’s Daily Briefing, ensuring the highest level of national security oversight. Earlier in his career, he served as National Security Advisor and Senior Counsel for the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, where he led the investigation into the Russian active measures campaign targeting the 2016 presidential election.

His efforts not only revealed the truth but also upheld the integrity of our democratic processes.

Throughout his career, Kash Patel has shown unwavering loyalty to President Trump and his America First agenda. His commitment to justice, transparency, and the rule of law makes him uniquely qualified to lead the FBI and restore its mission to serve the American people with integrity.

Kash Patel’s exceptional track record, combined with his dedication to President Trump’s vision, ensures he will bring the necessary reforms to an agency in need of transformation. Veterans for America First wholeheartedly endorses him for FBI Director."
