Six weeks ago, veteran investigative journalist Seymour Hersh published a bombshell report, which named President Joe Biden as the official who ordered the destruction of the Nord Stream pipeline on Sept. 26, 2022, and recounting the planning and execution of the attack in minute detail. Now, Hersh has published a follow-up slamming US media for aiding and abetting the US intel sabotage and cover-up.
The story “was subject to a near media blackout in the US”, Hersh noted, until “US and German intelligence agencies attempted to add to the blackout by feeding the New York Times and the German weekly Die Zeit false cover stories to counter the report that Biden and US operatives were responsible for the pipelines’ destruction”, writes Hersh.
“Press aides for the White House and Central Intelligence Agency have consistently denied that America was responsible for exploding the pipelines,” Hersh writes, which was “more than enough for the White House press corps.”
“There is no evidence that any reporter assigned there has yet to ask the White House press secretary whether Biden had done what any serious leader would do: formally “task” the American intelligence community to conduct a deep investigation, with all of its assets, and find out just who had done the deed in the Baltic Sea. According to a source within the intelligence community, the president has not done so, nor will he. Why not? Because he knows the answer.”
After German Chancellor Olaf Scholz visited President Biden hosted in Washington in early March, “with no members of the German press on board, no formal dinner scheduled, and the two world leaders were not slated to conduct a press conference, as routinely happens at such high-profile meetings.” Instead, Biden and Scholz had an 80-minute meeting, Hersh writes.
“I was told by someone with access to diplomatic intelligence that there was a discussion of the pipeline exposé and, as a result, certain elements in the Central Intelligence Agency were asked to prepare a cover story in collaboration with German intelligence that would provide the American and German press with an alternative version for the destruction of Nord Stream 2”, according to Hersh.
Whether or not Chancellor Scholz was alerted to the attack he has “clearly been complicit since last fall in support of the Biden Administration’s cover-up of its operation in the Baltic Sea”, Hersh writes.
After the Scholz-Biden meeting, the New York Times and German weekly Die Zeit concocted an alternate story to distract fro the Hersh expose, Hersh charges (Gateway Pundit reported).
“It was a total fabrication by American intelligence that was passed along to the Germans, and aimed at discrediting your story,” Hersh was told by a source within the American intelligence community. “The disinformation professionals inside the CIA understand that a propaganda gambit can only work if those on receiving are desperate for a story that can diminish or displace an unwanted truth. And the truth in question is that President Joe Biden authorized the destruction of the pipelines and will have a difficult time explaining away his action as Germany and its Western European neighbors suffer as businesses are shuttered amid high day-to-day energy costs.”

The cover up list is looong.
Hey Seymour, just starting to realize that your team is turning out to be the real fascists? Maybe you should have looked at them every once in a while when it was still permissable.
“Athorized”
Don’t read the BS published by GP.
It’s rehashed trash.

That’s the sad state of the “news” media these days.
They serve as information gatekeepers for the DNC and not as journalists.
Election fraud is authorized as well. From that point on its all a snot slick slope. Every and every ambition is gonna slide.
A liberal with conscience and integrity. As rare as a fox-cat!
In fairness to the ancient geezer, he can’t authorize his pwn nap-time.
What the US deep state and Puppet Biden did to the Nord Stream is equivalent to what Osama bin laden did to the Twin Towers.
It was an act of war and now Russia has a freebie response coming our way.
Will they cut internet cables in the Atlantic ocean? Will they destroy oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico? Will they fire a 3M-54 Kalibr cruise missile on the New York Times building in Manhattan?
Decisions, decisions!
The only question is was Scholz complicit in blowing up the pipeline. Mixed feeling here. It is counterintuitive to think a nation would be complicit in blowing up its own pipeline. But, when one considers, it would be a matter of time before freezing Germans paying up the nose for natural gas would be clamoring for Scholz to open it up. Scholz was getting ahead of the curve by not having to bend to that pressure by blowing it up so the issue could not be raised.
Suppose, just for a second, you or I had blown up that pipeline. What would be the consequences for us? Life in prison? What will be the consequences for Biden’s handlers?
gee nothing like giving the creep ideas, FM
guessing you don’t live in midtown
How far US journalism has fallen.
The company that owned the Nord lines filed for bankruptcy right after Biden put sanctions on them. The US had achieved shutting down Nord 2 before any plans Hersh said happened ever started. Hersh completely ignores this, when it undermines everything that follows. There was no need for the US to sabotage the Nord lines at all.
His explanation of the means shows Hersh does not understand what he is talking about. Getting a ship through Denmark, past Borholm island, with a DSRV SRDRS on deck without anyone noticing, and getting back out would be a really neat trick. Hersh does not explain that either.
The method of detonating the charges does add up. After such dogged determination to blow up the lines, why risk putting the "most advanced signal processing technology" on the bottom of the sea triggered by a sonar bouy? The Navy could easily say it was too risky and that timers had to be used.
Excluding the need, the means, and the risks, Hersh's story makes perfect sense. /s
If they pipelines were “shut down”, what was that bubbling up from the water so forcefully?
That gets into Putin's incentives to blow up the lines. Russian ownership was in the loans that would be paid back by the sales down the lines. When Germany showed that it was not going to back down, Russia was on the hook for the loans, lost future revenue, and fines.
Some remains of what appears to be a sonar-buoy of some type...found next to Nord Stream pipe in past couple of days. Danes say they will attempt to bring it up. May be totally unconnected to explosion (I will strongly emphasize this).
However, if it comes up and was part of the plan....with it having a serial number on some component, then it will lead back to a purchase and company. Anyone’s guess where this leads.
The only information I can find about that is Larry Johnson post six weeks ago (link) talking about a Monkeywerx video (link). Johnson, and Monkeywerx take advantage of the public's ingnorance of the military matters they write about. They talk about ordinary and routine ship and aircraft tracking, while not putting it in context to normal operations or geography, and act like there is something cladestine going on amid the ordinary.
