What are the media doing? Can someone explain this?

NYT and The Times of London saying a "pro-Ukraine group" blew up the Nord Stream pipelines. Seymour Hersh who I respect says Biden/US Navy divers did it.

Is this propaganda then, Freepers? What's going on here...

It sounds like propaganda to increase support from Russia for its war on Ukraine, to make it harder for Russia to end the war with some claimed victory.

Steve Bannon says it WAS a pro-Ukranian group. It’s called the CIA.

When the New York Times, Washington Post, and Guardian all publish the same story on the same day, that's when you know it's fake. It's like when Michael Corleone said, "We have newspaper people on the payroll, don't we, Tom?"

Completely ridiculous! Biden and his small group who went rogue concocted more bs so he can deny his involvement. I believe that as much as I believe Covid came from bat soup.

Limited hangout from the MI6/CIA crew, since Hersch has exposed them, but they don’t want to admit it. They consider themselves to be “pro-Ukraine”, but are still deflecting as if some other group that they want to portray as somehow sympathetic did it.

The NWO Media is full of crap — effectively an enemy to truth

A Ukrainian group is excellent legal cover.

Ukraine has free reign to attack Russian property in international waters, given that it is at war with Russia, and has the right to retaliate vs enormous damage Russia has inflicted. Even a group unaffiliated with the Ukrainian government (gone “rogue”, say) is still in the clear.

It should be easy enough for “friends” to “assist” a Ukrainian group to perform the sabotage.

And as I have pointed out often enough, this is not a job that required high tech (beyond what is easily available from civilian commercial sources) nor great resources. Untraceable funds and passports/ID will do just fine.

Ukraine’s government has denied involvement, but, of course, it’s prudent to do so. I refer you to the opening clip of the “Mission:Impossible” TV show.

As far as I can tell, the German press jumped the gun on what they thought the German government was going to say.
A couple German news sites said the German government was going to say Ukraine did it.
The German government is denying this.

Hersh does not know what he is talking about at all.
If Tom Clancy were alive he would take Hersh's story apart.

Wouldn’t you qualify Biden as leading a pro-Ukrainian faction?

They may be trying to deceive while maintaining a thin claim of being honest.

Biden and the Democrats are a “pro-Ukraine group”.

Hersch has not implicated the CIA, but the USN.

Secret squirrel stuff needs to be disclosed to a Congressional (or Senate?) committee, but Naval operations don’t, was Hersch’s point.

But if it was a third party Ukrainian-led or Ukrainian-identified group, they could have been funded in any number of ways, possibly through a Euro country.

The CIA is presumably doing the deflecting now for the US.

These days, it’s safer to assume everything you hear is propaganda until you see proof that it’s real.

Except that much of what is claimed to be proof is propaganda too.

Yes, they are the same.
