Seymour Hersh: How America Took Out The Nord Stream Pipeline

Subtstack ^ | February 8 2022 | Seymour Hersh

[SmokingJoe]

He's about the best investigatvetive journalist on the planet.
Has been for DECADES.
He exposed the American massacres in My Lai.

[ifinnegan]

“ Why deny it?”

So denied anything?

[pierrem15]

Sikorski doesn't know what he's talking about any more than Hersh. He just let his anger at Russia and Germany get away from him.

You'd have to go back 40-50 years when the US was capable of keeping secrets to find any such operation.

There is also no one in this admin who would have the balls to do it, either, certainly not the self-promoting butt kissing careerists currently fouling the Joint Chiefs chairs.

[rxsid]

Finally, others are catching up.

Tucker has been on this since last fall.

 

Tucker Carlson: What really happened to the Nord Stream pipeline? (Video - Sep 27, 2022)

TUCKER CARLSON: Only explanation allowed on Nord Stream is what the government wants you to believe (Video - Oct 5, 2022)

Tucker Carlson: Don't ask obvious questions about the Nord Stream pipeline leak (Video - Oct 7, 2022)

And so many more since then.

Naturally, the morons, subversive's and all-around enemies of our Constitutional Republic, immediately blamed Tucker as being "wild eyed" and a dangerous puppet of Putin.

 

Russian TV is very excited about Такер Карлсон's Nord Stream theory (Sep 29, 2022)

Russian TV Welcomes Tucker Carlson's Speculation Over Nord Stream Sabotage (Also goes on to blame Trump and MTG for agreeing with Tucker. Sep 29, 2022)

Tucker Carlson repeats baseless Russian talking point that U.S. was behind gas pipeline sabotage (Oct 1, 2022)

 

I would be surprised if Tucker doesn't talk about this tonight.

[SoConPubbie]

Sure he is.

Did you read the article?

Read the article.
Its all explained in detail.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

[iontheball]

The story may gain traction since Bongiono is featuring it tomorrow on his shows.

[catnipman]

[TChad]

Will Tucker lead with this tonight? It confirms his theory that we did it.

[SmokingJoe]

I would be surprised if Tucker doesn't talk about this tonight.

Almost guaranteed.

[pierrem15]

Hersh is simply rehashing public statements and fictionalizes about what or was not said in secret meetings.

The fact is that this admin dropped Trump's sanctions against the Nord Stream 2 pipeline as soon as they came into office, which allowed it to be completed.

The charges were placed by the Russians at or just after the outbreak of the war and the pipeline was blown up -after- it became clear that Germany would not be purchasing more gas through them to keep Germany from removing the not inconsiderable amount of gas remaining and after the US conducted naval maneuvers in the Baltic so the usual morons like Hersh would blame the US. If the US intended to blow them up, it would never have sent warships to the Baltic, just subs.

[FrankRizzo890]

I had no doubt that we did it, but I assumed that we did it because in the early days of the Russian invasion Germany was reluctant to provide any support for Ukraine BECAUSE of the gas supplies. I assume that the pipelines were blown up to force Germany to come to our side. “Since you don’t have to worry about Putin cutting off the gas supply now. How about some money/weapons for Ukraine?”

[rxsid]

Indeed.

And while most of us on FR might not agree with the messenger himself (to put it mildly), Hersh makes some valid points to connect the dots, starting with just the first several paragraphs...

• Last June, the Navy divers [of The U.S. Navy’s Diving and Salvage Center in rural Panama City], operating under the cover of a widely publicized mid-summer NATO exercise known as BALTOPS 22
• There was a vital bureaucratic reason for relying on the graduates of the center’s hardcore diving school in Panama City. The divers were Navy only, and not members of America’s Special Operations Command, whose covert operations must be reported to Congress and briefed in advance to the Senate and House leadership—the so-called Gang of Eight.
• President Biden and his foreign policy team—National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, Secretary of State Tony Blinken, and Victoria Nuland, the Undersecretary of State for Policy—had been vocal and consistent in their hostility to the two pipelines
• From its earliest days, Nord Stream 1 was seen by Washington and its anti-Russian NATO partners as a threat to western dominance.

Seymour Hersh is about the best investigatvetive journalist on the planet.

This is an excellent investigative journalist article. Read it and stop spewing mindless Zellensky propaganda.

[redgolum]

Well, I did.

Jack Carr did it better.

[DesertRhino]

Hang him? For being about 95% accurate? What parts do you think were treason?

Hersh first gained recognition in 1969 for exposing the My Lai Massacre and its cover-up during the Vietnam War, for which he received the 1970 Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting. During the 1970s, Hersh covered the Watergate scandal for The New York Times and revealed the clandestine bombing of Cambodia. In 2004, he reported on the U.S. military’s mistreatment of detainees at Abu Ghraib prison. He has also won two National Magazine Awards and five George Polk Awards. In 2004, he received the George Orwell Award.

Hersh has accused the Obama administration of lying about the events surrounding the death of Osama bin Laden and disputed the claim that the Assad regime used chemical weapons on civilians in the Syrian Civil War.

Seymour Hiroshima the crazy communist.

It probably will.
And Tucker has been on this for quite a while.
