US Bombed Russia's Nord Stream Gas Pipeline After Months-Long Planning by White House - Seymour Hersh
International Business Times ^ | February 8, 2023 | Jacob J

Posted on 02/08/2023 8:43:48 AM PST by Golden Eagle

Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh has made the sensational claim that the United States was behind the bombing of the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline in September last year.

Writing in his blog on Substack on Wednesday, Hersh said US Navy divers planted explosives at the pipelines in June last year, under the guise of BALTOPS 22 NATO exercise. The article says that the bombing of the Nord Stream pipeline was the culmination of months-long planning and preparations by the US. President Joe Biden and all his top leadership team participated in a series of top secret discussions in the lead-up to the act.

"Last June, the Navy divers, operating under the cover of a widely publicized mid-summer NATO exercise known as BALTOPS 22, planted the remotely triggered explosives that, three months later, destroyed three of the four Nord Stream pipelines, according to a source with direct knowledge of the operational planning," Hersh wrote in his blog.

“sensational claim . . . “

How about “completely obvious claim?”

I may not agree with Hersh’s politics, but Seymour is one of the Few journalists alive who continues to deep dive into fact.

Russian wants to integrate with Europe Economically. Germans, French, and most “continental Europe” are for it. The US, UK, and Norway (and Poland) are against it.

The US Deep State approved Nordstream 2 knowing the coming Ukraine war would give them cover to wage economic / kinetic warfare on Russia, and force Germany and continental Europe into the fold.

Taking out Germany’s natural gas supply had huge monetary consequences. We will end up paying $$$$ to Germany for this.

Seymour Hersh doesn’t publish anything the CIA doesn’t want him to. His entire career is being a mouthpiece for them. The question is, why are they now doing an official intentional leak of the story?

And technically was an ACT OF WAR AGAINST GERMANY.

Good post as usual. It’s all very interesting. Posobiec on Bannon’s show just hypothesized it was being released now to make Brandon look strong after the ballon failure. Matt Gaetz was on there last week and predicted that Europe might eventually see the US much like the Arab world now does and want us out of there, despite our attempts “to help.” My guess is they’re both right.

Perhaps a perverse way of saying “we can do anything we want and there is nothing you rubes can do about it”?

“....Few journalists alive who continues to deep dive into fact.....”

You mean like Bush Sr flew to and from Europe in a SR71 to deliver Reagan’s message in regard to the hostages.

or

The initial Ranger landing at Bagram Afghanistan was wiped out?

Hersh is not shy about making stuff up or going to very questionable foreign sources for material.

Typing it in all caps still won’t make the Germans care.
