BOMBSHELL: Yep, It Really Looks Like Team Biden Blew up Europe's Nord Stream Pipeline
PJ Media ^ | 02/09/2023 | Stephen Green

Posted on 02/09/2023 7:18:49 AM PST by SeekAndFind

The United States government blew up the Nord Stream natural gas pipeline connecting Russian suppliers to our allies Germany last year, according to a bombshell report from Seymour Hersh.

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

Hersh cites an anonymous source “with direct knowledge of the operational planning” who claimed that Navy divers, operating under the cover of NATO’s annual BALTOPS exercise last June, planted remotely-operated explosives that were detonated months later, last September.

White House spokeswoman Adrienne Watson told Hersh in an email that “This is false and complete fiction.”

“This claim is completely and utterly false,” a CIA spokeswoman wrote.

German authorities claimed last week Berlin’s investigators “currently have no evidence that Russia is behind the explosions on the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines.” The Kremlin denied any involvement, although the CIA claimed that Russian submarines were detected in the area where the explosions occurred just one day before the leaks were detected.

Swedish investigators called the leaks “gross sabotage” in November due to “explosive residue [that] was identified on a number of the seized and analyzed foreign items.”

It never made much sense for Moscow to sabotage its own natural gas sales to Germany when it can choose to switch off the gas at the source, any time it pleases. In fact, the Russians have done just that on occasion to wrangle concessions out of Berlin. To this day, Germany remains one of the slowest and most recalcitrant suppliers of western arms to Ukraine.

I promise to look the other way if Russia takes out Biden’s home - and if he happens to be in it, meh.

Our government needs to be more careful as to who they hire since it seems that there are SOME PEOPLE who are not too crazy about destroying the economy of our allies and/or starting World War 3.

ASIDE: German leadership has for most of this century been complicit in reducing German energy production and increasing dependence on Russia. Former German chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, after leaving office, became chairman of Nord Stream and is about to become a highly paid member of GAZPROM’s board — the Russian company behind the pipeline.

So the purely hypothetical thinking (wink, wink) went, if someone could do something drastic enough to wean Germany off Russian energy supplies, Germany wouldn’t be so easy for Moscow to push around.

Enter the Biden Administration. Hersh claims that “Biden’s decision to sabotage the pipelines came after more than nine months of highly secret back and forth debate inside Washington’s national security community about how to best” stop Russian strongman Vladimir Putin from weaponizing “natural gas for his political and territorial ambitions.”

The U.S. Navy’s innocuously named Diving and Salvage Center on the Florida panhandle is home to “highly skilled deep-water divers” who 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,” according to Hersh.

They’re the ones who reportedly planted the bombs that went off in September.

Probably. But will Russia. And don't mistake me for some Putin puffer. Russia's response would (will?) likely be more covert.

Seymour Hersh is a lying nutjob. In the past he has said that US troops sexually assaulted young boys in Iraq.

Some of Hersh's speeches concerning the Iraq War have described violent incidents involving U.S. troops in Iraq. In July 2004, during the height of the Abu Ghraib scandal, he alleged that American troops sexually assaulted young boys:

Basically what happened is that those women who were arrested with young boys, children, in cases that have been recorded, the boys were sodomized, with the cameras rolling, and the worst above all of them is the soundtrack of the boys shrieking. That your government has. They're in total terror it's going to come out.

The ONLY WAY that anyone here can still claim that Russia did it (and some here are still making that claim, at least as of yesterday) is that they are someone’s payroll, as even legitimate Ukraine supporters know to keep quiet on this one.

The CIA and military and administration officials, would deny it, of course. They could NEVER admit that something like this was planned and executed. But, this being the Biden administration and with the hoax of climate change driving everything they do, it’s entirely possible that they did do the dastardly and damaging deed. It’s all for the greater good of humanity, but,it’s really for the greater good of government trying to control our lives and everything in the economies; iow, full control of the people and everything surrounding us.

The American people did not elect Joe Biden in 2020, and they also did not elect a lot of the people running/ruining our lives now, at many levels of government.

So, the only ones attacking NATO countries are the US blowing up the pipeline and Ukraine when they bombed Poland.

Seymour Hersh is a kook who says Bin Laden raid was faked.

The many problems with Seymour Hersh's Osama bin Laden conspiracy theory

The truth, Hersh says, is that Pakistani intelligence services captured bin Laden in 2006 and kept him locked up with support from Saudi Arabia, using him as leverage against al-Qaeda. In 2010, Pakistan agreed to sell bin Laden to the US for increased military aid and a "freer hand in Afghanistan." Rather than kill him or hand him over discreetly, Hersh says the Pakistanis insisted on staging an elaborate American "raid" with Pakistani support.

According to Hersh's story, Navy SEALs met no resistance at Abbottabad and were escorted by a Pakistani intelligence officer to bin Laden's bedroom, where they killed him. Bin Laden's body was "torn apart with rifle fire" and pieces of the corpse "tossed out over the Hindu Kush mountains" by Navy SEALs during the flight home (no reason is given for this action). There was no burial at sea because "there wouldn’t have been much left of bin Laden to put into the sea in any case."

Stupid neocons again have put America in a very dangerous position.

Germany doesn't need to be strong. All they have to do is say "NO" to the United States, and NATO disappears.

And now the AfD in Germany is becoming the anti-American Party.
