For those of us of younger generations, Seymour "Sy" Hersh is not a well-known name. But in days past, his investigative journalism was nothing short of award-winning. Hersh earned his 1970 Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting for exposing the 1968 My Lai Massacre in Vietnam and the ensuing government cover-up. His resume includes writing as a first-rate reporter for The New Yorker and the New York Times, participating in the reporting on the 1972 Watergate scandal. His 2004 article in the New Yorker called "Torture at Abu Graib" covered the disgusting abuse of prison inmates by U.S. intelligence officials, proving culpability to the highest levels of federal government.
Hersh has apparently determined to go independent at this point in his career and open a substack page – and his first post is a doozy. He has alleged that it was U.S. intelligence and military that blew up Russia's Nord Stream pipeline in northern Europe with the help of the Norwegian navy, Sept. 26, 2022. The report indicates that this was being planned as early as December of 2021.
Hersh notes, regarding the U.S. government's motives, "As long as Europe remained dependent on the pipelines for cheap natural gas, Washington was afraid that countries like Germany would be reluctant to supply Ukraine with the money and weapons it needed to defeat Russia." I would add to that the possibility of Germany losing its motivation to participate fully in international sanctions against Russia, refusing the natural gas needed to keep its factories humming and its people from freezing to death in winter. When the people rise up with good reason, the government, no matter how elitist and hard-nosed, generally has a hard time not capitulating. With the Nord Stream pipeline out of the picture, Germany is much more likely to play along.

That should've been everyone's assumption from the beginning. What other party would gain from bombing the pipeline?
The 1970 Pulitzer Prize winner seems to credit him (or at least one of his puppet-string pullers) with the ‘accomplishment’.
“order”
Normally I’d write,
“That’s a laugh,”
but, in fact,
it’s an epitaph.
Sy Hersch, once considered a liberal investigative journalist, will now be labelled a right wing white supremicist, if it has not happened already.
He point-blank threatened to do so.
The video of him making the threat seems to have mysteriously disappeared, at least from the mainstream.
This is not a conspiracy. Joe once said that he would do it. And notice after Denmark and Sweden did their investigation, all info on this disappeared from all media. All of Europe is afraid of the US, who has a reputation of punishing or attacking anyone that stands against them. The question is, did Biden threaten the countries that found the evidence that the US did it?
Wouldn’t that be an act of war?
It’s certainly possible, but so far as I know Seymour Hersh has no real evidence. And his story that Norway was involved makes the whole story implausible to me.
“That should’ve been everyone’s assumption from the beginning. What other party would gain from bombing the pipeline?”
There were people here saying that Russia bombed their own pipelines, when it was OBVIOUSLY done by the West, since the West (other than Germany) had everything to gain, and Russia had everything to lose.
Those people, due to them blaming Russia, rather than simply STAYING OUT of the ‘debate’ on this, convinced me that they were operatives, as operatives would not know when to stop pushing their lines, but honest people would realize the obvious and disengage, at least on this.
.
That will come soon. I learned two days ago the FBI has been instructed that any Catholic that attends High Mass (Latin) is a RW White Supremicist now. So all those Mexicans who attend High Mass are now RWs.
Did Biden order bombing of Nord Stream pipeline? Seems so

Well, the low IQ or gullible or paid propagandists said (and CONTINUE to say) that Russia did it.
Does the pope krap in the woods?
Brandon? No. Nuland? Yes.
“Does the pope krap in the woods?”
Do bears wear funny hats?
No Biden. It was Nuland and Sullivan.
Why are you helping cover for the Biden regime? Are neocons closet Biden supporters?
No doubt it was Nuland’s idea. But, Biden probably gave his approval.
duh. this was obvious when it happened.
