“Apologize and Keep Quiet”: Polish PM Tells Germans To Shut Up about Nord Stream Pipeline Sabotage
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk took to Twitter to scold Germans who are outraged at the possibility that Ukraine, in collusion with European governments and the US, destroyed the Nord Stream pipelines, depriving Germany of Russian natural gas.
“To all the initiators and patrons of Nord Stream 1 and 2. The only thing you should do today about it is apologise and keep quiet,” Tusk tweeted on Saturday.

Tusk was responding to August Henning, former head of the German Federal Intelligence Service, who alleged in a recent interview with Germany’s Die Welt newspaper that Tusk’s predecessor, Andrzej Duda, knew about plans to sabotage the pipeline.
The Wall Street Journal reported last week that Ukraine was responsible for the operation, which took place in September 2022.
“One of the most audacious acts of sabotage in modern history, the operation worsened an energy crisis in Europe—an assault on critical infrastructure that could be considered an act of war under international law,” the Journal reported.
“Theories swirled about who was responsible. Was it the CIA? Could Putin himself have set the plan in motion?
“Now, for the first time, the outlines of the real story can be told. The Ukrainian operation cost around $300,000, according to people who participated in it. It involved a small rented yacht with a six-member crew, including trained civilian divers. One was a woman, whose presence helped create the illusion they were a group of friends on a pleasure cruise.”

The Journal claimed that although the operation was approved by President Zelensky with support from his NATO allies, he got cold feet and tried to call it off at the last minute—to no avail. The attack destroyed three of the four strings of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines, effectively halting all deliveries of Russian gas to Europe through the pipelines.
German authorities investigating the sabotage have now issued an arrest warrant for a Ukrainian man thought to be in Poland.
Doctors Have Their Certification Revoked for Promoting Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine
Two doctors who promoted cheap therapeutic treatments for COVID-19 have had their certification revoked after a two-year investigation.
Last week, the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) revoked the certification of Dr Pierre Kory and Dr Paul Marik for promoting ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine and questioning the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccines.
Kory and Marik co-founded the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance, which The Washington Post claims “spread misinformation about the coronavirus pandemic.”
Although the ABIM has stated that it does not comment publicly on decisions to strip medical professionals of their certification, in a document obtained by The Defender, the ABIM said that the doctors’ “conduct poses serious concerns for patient safety and undermines the trust that the public and the medical profession place in the meaning of ABIM board certification.”
Speaking to The Defender, Marik expressed his disappointment at the decision, and said that it was fundamentally anti-science.
“The bottom line is we’re disappointed because we stand up for the truth. To censor science is to censor progress. Science is based on dialogue and people can have different points of view. That is the principle of science: it’s people having different points of view.
“We’ve never been in a situation before where physicians who have opposing points of view are silenced… It sets a really bad precedent that you can’t really challenge the status quo, and as we know, in medicine, there have been very dramatic changes based on changing understandings of science.”
Marik suggested that the ABIM is part of the “medical-industrial complex” and is “more interested in making money than in protecting physicians.”
“There have been a number of lawsuits against ABIM, so they don’t have the best of reputations. But unfortunately, they are the main certifying organization in the U.S., so they have enormous power and leverage.”
Dr Peter McCullough, one of the most high-profile opponents of the COVID-19 vaccines, had his certification revoked by the ABIM in 2022, but his certification has apparently been restored.
Ukrainian Troops ‘Kidnap’ Russian Civilians (Video)
Several Ukrainian fighters who participated in Kiev’s cross-border attack on Kursk have admitted to “helping transport” Russian civilians to an unknown location. The revelations came when the troops – who either surrendered or were captured during the incursion – were presented with video evidence from their own body-cameras.
The footage shows armed Ukrainian militants escorting Russian men –some of them beaten, blindfolded, and with their hands tied –from private houses and forcefully shoving them into a truck. They are believed to be civilians snatched in the village of Goncharovka, around 8km from the Russian-Ukrainian border.
During questioning, the Ukrainian captives were asked to elaborate on the footage and explain who they were loading onto the vehicle and why. One of the POWs claimed that the men were Russian conscripts captured by the Ukrainians, but admitted that at least three of them were actually “civilians who were there visiting someone.”
The captured Ukrainian soldier insisted that their unit was merely tasked with collecting the people and handing them over to the military police. He claimed they were unaware of why the civilians were taken, reiterating that their task was just to transport them.

The Ukrainians said they had been serving in the military since spring last year as scouts, though not in their “field of specialization.” One POW admitted to being trained in Germany, while another claimed he had only received basic military training.
The video of the interrogation conducted by Major General Apty Alaudinov, the commander of the Akhmat Special Forces from Russia’s Chechen Republic, was posted on Telegram on Saturday.
The Ukrainian military launched an incursion into the Russian border region last week, intending to divert Moscow’s forces from the eastern front, inflict maximum losses, destabilize the situation in Russia, and force President Vladimir Putin to enter into a “fair negotiation process,” according to officials in Kiev.

While the advance was quickly halted by the Russian military, several residential areas in the region remain under Ukrainian control. At least a dozen Russian civilians were killed and more than 120 wounded during the cross-border attack, with over 120,000 residents evacuated, according to the acting governor of Kursk Region.
On Saturday, Alaudinov stated that Ukrainian military reserves deployed in the area “are depleting,” with soldiers surrendering en masse in recent days. Putin and other Russian officials have stressed that no peace talks with Kiev are possible as long as the Ukrainian military targets civilians and threatens the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant.
Jacinda Ardern To Attend and Participate at DNC
Former New Zealand premier Jacinda Ardern will attend and participate in the Democratic National Convention, which begins today, in Chicago.
A spokesperson for the former Prime Minister confirmed her attendance.
Ardern will take part in a side event at the convention. Details of this event have not been provided.
Ardern stepped down suddenly as Prime Minister in January 2023, to great surprise.
She was responsible for implementing some of the harshest measures anywhere in the world in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. She became the smiling, loving face of a new kind of medical tyranny.
During the pandemic, Ardern said that protests against the COVID lockdowns “cannot be tolerated,” and happily acknowledged, in an interview with the UK’s Independent newspaper, that there were now “two different classes of people”—vaccinated and unvaccinated—with only the former having full rights as citizens.
She also went viral across the world when she told New Zealanders that the government would be “your single source of truth.”
“We will continue to be your single source of truth… Everything else you see—a grain of salt.”
— Jacinda Ardern, speaking in March 2020.

In a speech at the UN in 2022, she declared “misinformation” a “weapon of war.” She said it posed a “threat” to humankind and that world leaders must do something about it to “bring [the world] to order.”
‘The weapons may be different but the goals of those who perpetuate them is often the same… [to] reduce the ability of others to defend themselves,” she said, likening words to guns and bombs.
Since resigning, Ardern has worked as a trustee of Prince William’s Earthshot Prize and a special envoy for the Christchurch Call, which aims to combat online extremism. She has accepted various university positions, including a fellowship at the Harvard Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society, where she will study online extremism.
Vance Warns about “Fake Polls” on Fox
Don’t believe everything the pollsters tell you was JD Vance’s message to voters in an interview on Sunday.
Vance appeared on Fox News Sunday with Shannon Bream to talk about the current state of the Trump-Vance campaign. He was showed footage of former presidential hopeful Nikki Haley, who said that the Trump campaigns needs to appeal to a broader base than committed MAGA supporters, and a quotation from Karl Rove, who complained that Trump was focusing too much on insulting his opponent, Kamala Harris.
Trump’s VP pick dismissed claims the campaign wasn’t making a broad enough appeal, and said that he and the former president have been “making a very simple argument.”
“When Donald Trump was President, we had stable prices, we had prosperity, we had higher take home pay for American workers, and we had peace across the world,” Vance said.

Vance accused the media of giving Kamala Harris a “three-week lovefest,” and said that voters should not believe the polls, which are consistently giving Harris a lead over Trump.
“Consistently what you have seen in 2016 and 2020 is that the media uses fake polls to drive down Republican turnout and to create dissension and conflict with Republican voters,” Vance said.
“The Trump campaign is in a very, very good spot. We are gonna win this race. We just have to run through the finish line.”
A new CBS poll, for example, showed Trump with a commanding, even a massive lead, on key issues like the economy, crime and immigration, yet overall the poll still put Kamala Harris ahead, by three points. Other polls have shown that Harris is ahead in important states like Arizona, Nevada and North Carolina, as well as key battleground states like Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan.
Vance said he felt confident from his experiences on the campaign trail that voters would make the right decision come November.
“If you see the numbers that we are seeing, and you actually talk to the American people, I feel extremely confident that we are going to be in the right place come November.”
