Edward Snowden Says UFO Hysteria is “Engineered” Distraction From Nord Stream Pipeline Bombshell
Republic Brief ^ | 02/14/2023 | Kari Donovan

Is the military handling of a Chinese balloon, identified as a surveillance device, and other unidentified Flying Objects (UFO) in recent days, just being hyped by the lapdog media to divert attention from the news that the Democrat administration of POTUS Joe Biden may have blown up the Nord Stream pipeline?

That is a question on the minds of many Americans and many other people around the world. Answers are not so easy to come by as the Democrats have long and rambling press conferences to try to explain why such massive military action has been taken and what the relationship with the Chinese Communist Party is at the moment.

Many people are speculating on social media about the details of NORAD and the military taking the very first action in US history of shooting down balloons.

NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden says the hysteria over UFOs being shot down over America and Canada is a distraction from Seymour Hersh’s story about the U.S. being responsible for blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines, according to media reports.

“Over the past week, there have been at least four instances of U.S. fighter jets destroying unidentified flying objects, in one case over Alaska, an object that had no means of propulsion but was spotted flying at 40,000 feet and pilots said interfered with the sensors of their aircraft,” Paul Joesph Watson reported for Summit News, adding:

“Yesterday, the White House denied that the objects were extraterrestrial in nature, although the glib dismissal if anything only continued to feed into speculation online that ET had paid a flying visit. In reality, as most people have pointed out, the shootdowns are likely a show of force to save the Biden administration’s blushes from questions as to why the Chinese spy balloon was allowed to monitor America in the first place.”

The outlet continued with more details about the unfolding events:

According to Edward Snowden, the UFO flap is also a misdirection to wipe the infinitely more awkward Seymour Hersh story from the headlines.

Snowden tweeted that the hysteria was an “engineered” bait and switch to prevent the media from covering the pipeline explosion revelations.

“it’s not aliens

i wish it were aliens

but it’s not aliens

it’s just the ol’ engineered panic, an attractive nuisance ensuring natsec reporters get assigned to investigate balloon bullshit rather than budgets or bombings (à la nordstream)

until next time,” Edward Snowden (@Snowden) posted on Twitter on February 13, 2023.

Watson reminded readers about an article that also exposed the theory that there is something to be covered about the actions of the Biden administration:

“Last week, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh published an article in which he asserted that the pipelines were destroyed by the US as part of a covert operation.

According to Hersh’s sources, the explosives were planted in June 2022 by US Navy divers under the guise of the BALTOPS 22 NATO exercise and were detonated three months later with a remote signal sent by a sonar buoy.”

One source told Hersh that the plotters knew the covert operation was an “act of war,” with some in the CIA and State Department warning, “Don’t do this. It’s stupid and will be a political nightmare if it comes out.”

In an update to the story, Hersh gave an interview with Radio War Nerd in which he slammed the mainstream media for criticizing him personally rather than investigating the story.

“It’s amazing to me how they fall in line, my colleagues,” said Hersh, referring to the New York Times and the Washington Post.

As we previously highlighted, Snowden chided the White House’s denial that it was involved in the pipeline attack by pointing out it also denied previous false flags.

“Can you think of any examples from history of a secret operation that the White House was responsible for, but strongly denied?” Snowden tweeted.

“Besides, you know, that little ‘mass surveillance’ kerfuffle,” he added.

Snowden included a UPI news report from April 1961 in which US Secretary of State Dean Rusk denied the Bay of Pigs had been “staged from American soil,” with Rusk telling the media, “the Cuban affair was one for the Cubans themselves to settle.”

As Watson also points out:

“A report by the US National Intelligence office revealed the UFO, sightings have skyrocketed over the past year. There’s also a weird revelation going on with UFOs where the same military-industrial complex of mainstream media that wants to ridicule the entire subject now imposes its legitimacy on the general public at every available opportunity.

Ufology was a niche subject in the 90s and its adherents were largely dismissed and laughed at. Now every other Normie is into it, thanks to its Relentless promulgation and promotion by the mainstream media.

Also, an interesting coincidence that this is all happening while the political establishment lobbies for defense spending cuts to be taken off the table. Now, looks like this latest UFO flap may not be the signal for an imminent Alien Invasion but is actually part of the Biden administration bait-and-switch, a smokescreen to distract Americans from the highly embarrassing fact that the Chinese appear to be spying on the US with total impunity under his watch. It’s also convenient. Misdirection to shift another awkward revelation from the headlines….”

Watch Watson break it down in this blistering rebuke:

RE: How many books on JFK assassination...

Not just limited to that topic but——
NY Times (barf) wrote:
Even the basic facts of Kennedy’s death are still subject to heated argument. The historical consensus seems to have settled on Lee Harvey Oswald as the lone assassin, but conspiracy speculation abounds — involving Johnson, the C.I.A., the mob, Fidel Castro or a baroque combination of all of them. Many of the theories have been circulating for decades and have now found new life on the Internet, in Web sites febrile with unfiltered and at times unhinged musings.

Of course the Kennedy fixation is hardly limited to the digital world. An estimated 40,000 books about him have been published since his death, and this anniversary year has loosed another vast outpouring. Yet to explore the enormous literature is to be struck not by what’s there but by what’s missing. Readers can choose from many books but surprisingly few good ones, and not one really outstanding one.

40,000 books by 2013? Incredible.

Edward Snowden is a Russian asset now.

I believe in aliens. And I believe the Russians blew up the Nord Stream pipelines.

The men from Mars blew up the pipeline?

That’s old news.

Biden won the 2020 election.

Thanks. I had no idea—just “suspected”.

I’ve sent your findings to friends...

[Engineered” Distraction]

Probably distraction from the coming World War III.

Which will serve as distraction for the coming economic crash - right here in the good old U.S.A. - and much of the world

Hang on to your hats

There never will be enough for you

don't be silly, show me the hard evidence and I'll be convinced

trouble is, so far there hasn't been any hard proof, just a lot of speculation by agenda-driven America-haters

let's see the proof, or stop blaming the US

put up or shut up

No, much worse.

The WEF media will say, "The aliens will vaporize our planet unless we get rid of all the Christians and Conservatives. If you see or hear of one, report it to PopulationSolution.org right away!"

It’s definitely a distraction from something. Now that the Super Bowl is over, the country needs a new distraction.

Well you can be sure the book reading Russians will not be distracted by this BS.

Being in the desperate climate we put them in they may possibly have one of their pacific subs launch a balloon carrying an EMP weapon as a payback for this unauthorized act of war.

?elections? have consequences.
