There has been another attempt to sabotageRussia 's
gas exports. This time the attack is centred on the Yamal-Europe pipeline, an
older pipeline that dates back to the 1990's. It runs overland from the gas
fields of Siberia through Belarus
and Poland to Germany .
It is managed by Gazprom, a Russian state owned operator that is one of the
oldest and biggest gas corporations in the world. The Yamal-Europe pipeline is
much longer than the Nord Streams and so its transport overheads are higher,
but it is still a major supplier of gas and therefore an essential artery for
the economic blood of the Russian Federation .

Germany enjoys
a discount on sales and has been exploiting that relationship. It has been
touting the gas it buys from Russia
and sending it back along the same pipeline to Poland
where it costs less than direct sales from Russia .
However this situation has been badly misrepresented by similar characters to
the ones attacking the other pipelines. The growing tension between Russia
and Ukraine is
an obvious source. Vladimir Putin has also been accused of trying to inflate
the price of gas artificially. This is not true, as I explain in the background
article. It is because of cold weather on the continent and the continuing stock
market fallout from COP 26.

"It is because of cold weather on the continent and the continuing stock market fallout from COP 26". Both of which are complete nonsense 'excuses' Ben. I think like many other things you are'choosing' what to believe rather than looking at the sources and reading between the lines to establish the reality (how to research effectivly).
Gas supply has been manipulated by Russia for years, it's the fault of other countries to still be reliant on it. Blaming it on COP26 and 'cold weather' despite it being milder and them reducing supplies at it got colder is disenginous at best, makes you look a fool at worst.
From the Moscow times

I disagree, it is you who needs to be wary of looking like a fool. The cold weather was a citation from the primary source. however, it is not complete nonsense to say that the resolutions at COP 26 would affect the stock market. If that extremely high profile event, the political equivalent of the Olympics could not, then what would. Right now the UK's national grid is converting most of its coal-fired power stations to gas, including Didcot A and B near me which have featured in my free energy videos. (Ironically The UK used to import a lot of coal from Russia). It's the perfect time to put the squeeze on Russia. As I said in the background article.
"It's the perfect time to put the squeeze on Russia" Ironically you have that completly back to front... which is why "it is you who needs to be wary of looking like a fool"
For someone who claims to be 'an independant journalist' you might want to use independant source material.
Can you highlight where demands for less fossil fuel use at COP26 has driven prices down (as would be expected) or Up as what you claim, as of today since November or are they at the same levels? No? I can, as of today futures are roughly exactly the same price, including the source.

Read, more pay more attention, read between the lines and research better by not using bias sources is my advice, lest your own bias write the narrative.
I think that's advice you should apply to yourself. As I said, it was addressed at COP 26, not only that but conversion from coal to gas has been underway for years earlier. Hence Didcot power station. The news was reporting on the prices the very day the conference was over and the Nord Stream pipeline crisis began. See my interview with Nick Kollerstrom. Links in article.
Ben you rerally are completly lost at sea on this. COP26 didn't affect gas share trading prices as of today (the latest data we have...) Any short term impact was down (as we would expect) the opposite of what you claim and didn't drive up gas prices.
Didcot converting to gas should lower gas prices when it comes online (it hasn't). And if you are insinuating that it means there is less power supply so the shortfall needs to be made up from other sources that capacity is provided through other power stations across the UKas it is coal fired elecricity supply not gas which is used for home heating in th UK primarily.
Supply and demand drive prices. Demand is high,it's winter in Europe but not colder than average (but early days) so supply must be driving prices if demand is average.
I have shown this by providing the links that show Russia (from the only non state contolled news outlet Moscow times) has reduced supply of natural gas to Europe. You are disputing this despite the evidence for whatever narrative you want to paint (climate change denial ideology, pro Russian, corporate price manipulation or whatever) but with no well constructed evidenced argument instead pure speculation and opinion.
Please do take some time to rationalise this before putting pen to paper.
Alright, Anon. I'm not going to search for the info I saw at the time. You have two articles and an interview with Nick K. If you still think I'm wrong after going through those, we'll just have to leave it there and change the subject.
Happy to leave it there as I have provided the facts ( gas supply from Russia has been reduced) rather than opinion from an interview from a untrusted source (holocaust denier, conspiracy theorist and 'fantasist) and articles that 'support' said view rather than the facts.
You have proven the point that bias is inherent in your view if you use bias sources to 'research' instead of using independently sourced evidence as I have.
I did enjoy much of your ufo 'research' but your geopolitical misinformation and lack of critical thinking with sources has now led me to question it's validity if your research has been as poor as this in that field also.
