Seymour Hersh: How America Took Out The Nord Stream Pipeline

The New York Times called it a “mystery,” but the United States executed a covert sea operation that was kept secret—until now

The U.S. Navy’s Diving and Salvage Center can be found in a location as obscure as its name—down what was once a country lane in rural Panama City, a now-booming resort city in the southwestern panhandle of Florida, 70 miles south of the Alabama border. The center’s complex is as nondescript as its location—a drab concrete post-World War II structure that has the look of a vocational high school on the west side of Chicago. A coin-operated laundromat and a dance school are across what is now a four-lane road.

The center has been training highly skilled deep-water divers for decades who, once assigned to American military units worldwide, are capable of technical diving to do the good—using C4 explosives to clear harbors and beaches of debris and unexploded ordinance—as well as the bad, like blowing up foreign oil rigs, fouling intake valves for undersea power plants, destroying locks on crucial shipping canals. The Panama City center, which boasts the second largest indoor pool in America, was the perfect place to recruit the best, and most taciturn, graduates of the diving school who successfully did last summer what they had been authorized to do 260 feet under the surface of the Baltic Sea.

Norway is profiting. But only in some alternate universe would Norway participate in a secret military action in another Nordic country's territorial waters. And the accusation that Norway would do so simply out of a profit motive is typical of applying Russian brutishness to other countries.

The whole Norwegian angle fits perfectly with Russian propaganda attempts to split NATO and cause a problem regarding US bases in Norway. Because that's what Hersh's story is: Russian propaganda.

Read the article, Mister Paid Toll, then you can talk.
Meanwhile, why don't you prove that Norway did not take part? They DID.

[canuck_conservative]

I’m not wasting my time on something that’s irrelevant

nobody cares about NordStream anymore ... it’s dead, not coming back, and is not needed

[SmokingJoe]

Again, Norway has fought against Russia plenty of times in the past.
And again, they DID happily join the Pedo Joe attack on the Russian pipelines.

[SmokingJoe]

If its “irrelevant” why are you posting Zellensky propaganda repeatedly on this thread?

[canuck_conservative]

just countering your constant Russian propaganda

[Republican Wildcat]

Communism is the new conservativism. Failing to support communism means you are a neocon, Biden supporter. People also post from a site called “Progressive Left Productions” - and if you don’t go along with that, you are a globalist neocon.

[Republican Wildcat]

Except he is exactly right on this one.

Then perhaps you could have posted from a non-communist source the same information. What is your affinity for a communist conspiracy theorist that you chose to post his work above anyone else's?

[SmokingJoe]

Because the story “irrelevant”?
Stop making me laugh.

[SmokingJoe]

1. “Substack” is NOT communist.

2. Seymour Hersh is the greatest investigative journalist alive. Think Mai Lai and Abu Ghraib for starters.

[SmokingJoe]

Communism is the new conservativism

You are on crack cocaine? Or merely a paid troll?

Expect Hersh’s bombshell scoop to get smeared by the corporate media as they've done to nearly all of his scoops going back to his 1974 exposé on CIA's illegal domestic spy program—attacked by WaPo, Time, Newsweek, etc, but validated by Church Committee.

> Europe is doing fine without Russian gas

And doubling prices in the USA.

Thanks.

Hersch also did some good work on the Seth Rich / Wikileaks connection.

Brandon is whatever they tell him to be.

Biden: No Nord Stream 2 pipeline if Russia invades...I promise you we will be able to do it
