Tucker: NYT Nord Stream Story “Even Dumber” than Claiming Putin Did It
Gateway Pundit ^ | Mar. 25, 2023 | Richard Abelson

Posted on 03/25/2023 9:03:33 AM PDT by Kazan

Tucker Carlson roasted the latest Biden Regime lies being peddled about the US attack on the Nord Stream pipeline om Friday: “Imagine if you found yourself repeating something that ridiculous on television.”

Tucker Carlson: It has been a long week in the news business. All sorts of things you thought could never happen did in fact happen and then vice versa. A whole lot of predictions failed to materialize. The big theme of the week, as usual, was lying.

There was an extraordinary amount of lying. At this point, the people in charge seem like they tell the truth only by accident. Occasionally, somebody in power will say something true and is swiftly punished for it. Can’t have that. It’s infuriating to watch, but it’s also, if you look at it right, very amusing.

These are not sophisticated deceptions. This is not Dwight Eisenhower stealthily planning D-Day. This is your 5-year-old ambling in with frosting on his face to tell you we never touch the birthday cake.

Should that make you mad? Of course, it should make you mad, but if you’re human, you will also laugh at it. Cake? What cake? It’s hilarious. The kid has no idea how ridiculous he is.

So, with that spirit in mind, we’re going to devote the next hour to a special presentation on lying in American politics. We’re going to do our best to stay amused, because that’s much better than being angry.

And we’re going to start with what could be the funniest lie of the year. Vladimir Putin blew up Russia’s natural gas pipeline to Europe. Now, why would Putin do something like that? Well, they told us, because he’s evil.

Putin is so evil that he murdered his own country’s economy purely for the dark thrill of doing it. That’s evil. It takes a bad man to declare war against himself. Next, Putin will be invading Moscow.

That was their story, the story the Biden administration told us and then every single news organization in the country, with no exceptions at all, backed up the lie.

Of course, Putin did it, they lectured us. Don’t ask questions, or you’re a Russian agent.

There was, for a moment, a perfectly united front of falsehood on the question of what happened to Nord Stream, but it wasn’t enough. The story was too absurd to stand, even by the standards of 2023.

Anyone who thought about it for even a moment, realized that, of course, Vladimir Putin didn’t blow up his own pipeline. Why would he do that? The Biden administration blew up Vladimir Putin’s pipeline.

Of course, Joe Biden himself had promised on camera that he would do it and then Biden officials publicly celebrated after it happened. So, every rational person knew the truth. After a few months, the people who lie for a living decided to make up a news story.

Unfortunately, this one was even dumber and less believable.

“OK”, they conceded, “Putin didn’t do it. That was wrong, we’ll admit it was not Putin who blew up the pipeline.” It was the Ukrainians, but not the Ukrainians you’re familiar with, the ones who are getting billions of American tax dollars every month. No, no, no. Not our Ukrainian friends. They would never do that.

It was Ukrainians we’ve never met. It was rogue Ukrainians acting against Russia, but with no connection to the Biden administration whatsoever.

These are good people fighting for a noble cause, but doing it entirely on their own without our assistance or knowledge. That’s what The New York Times told us actually happened, and then everybody swallowed it. Watch CNN.

REPORTER: In a separate but parallel story, we’ve been learning more, Kate, about the Nord Stream attack. You remember the Nord Stream pipeline back in September saw an explosion, a sabotage effort, but it is the subject of an ongoing investigation by German authorities. According to The New York Times report, they say that they believe that, according to sources, it may have been perpetrated by a group aligned with the aims of Kyiv, but not actually backed by Kyiv, not run by Kyiv, an independent group acting on its behalf and in its name.

“Totally independent.” Now, imagine if you found yourself repeating something that ridiculous on television.

Here you have an explosion, a three-part explosion that was part of a deep sea operation in the Baltic Sea, 300 feet underwater, that happened at exactly the moment that NATO war games are going on in the area, so you would think that there was probably some involvement from a military somewhere.

(GP Note: According to Seymour Hersh’s report, the Nord Streams explosions 9/26/22 actually took place three months after the NATO BALTOPS 22 exercise 6/21/2022, which Hersh claims was used to plant the explosives. Sorry, Tucker.)

But no, says the lady on the TV, repeating The New York Times, it was a shadowy, unnamed group of totally independent Ukrainians, who happen to live in a country that the Biden administration runs, and whose pensions are being paid for by you. Right. “Totally independent.”

Does anyone really believe that, as a single human being, including the hair hats repeating it, actually believe that?

No. And that’s the thing about so many of these lies. You don’t believe them, but you’re not special. Nobody believes them. Even the people repeating them.

Guy takes too long to get to his point.

15 or so paragraphs, 30-40 sentences, before we get to the theory announced in the headlines.

It’s more likely that the US/NATO did it, but it’s not dumber to say that some Ukrainian group did it than it is to say Putin blew up his own pipeline.

It is silly to say that a non-governmental group did it, but so much nonsense comes out of the media nowadays that that story is more typical than noteworthy.

Well, maybe that is the case. After all, Putin put up missile defense systems in Moscow. Why do that unless someone is going to invade? But the only country close to Moscow is, well, Russia. So yes, Putin could well be about to declare war against himself, in order to invade Moscow.

Many, many years ago i was talking to a union guy….he was on strike. There were a few instances of vandalism of company property…this guy argued - with a straight face - that union guys had nothing to do with it…that people sympathetic to, but with no connection whatsoever to the union or anyone in it - were responsible for it…..

same here with the pipeline of course

“Too absurd to stand”… but the handful of Zelensky worshipping propagandists who gaslight here expressed absolute belief in it. And they continue to do so in support of Gibs-me-dat Zelensky.

Biden, at the direction of his controlling globalist cabal, ordered the US Navy to destroy those pipelines and they did. Americans know it, the Russians,the Germans, the Chinese and the Europeans know it. If somehow definitive proof is established, it will be the American taxpayer who will pay trillions in damages.

I remember that also. Pretty much PROVES that they are Operatives.

I remember one lady here who sounded like an Operative, but then she was able to laugh at a joke, and then recently she said we should be out of Syria, and out of Ukraine - those things convinced me that she’s just wrong about Ukraine, but not an Operative - as the Operatives are silent on Syria.

I 100% guarantee you that if an administration mouthpiece said it on CNN my brother-in-law and his wife believe it.

He said that he wanted every single person who worked in the Trump White House to be put in jail.
