Edward Snowden Says UFO Hysteria is “Engineered” Distraction From Nord Stream Pipeline Bombshell
Republic Brief ^ | 02/14/2023 | Kari Donovan

Is the military handling of a Chinese balloon, identified as a surveillance device, and other unidentified Flying Objects (UFO) in recent days, just being hyped by the lapdog media to divert attention from the news that the Democrat administration of POTUS Joe Biden may have blown up the Nord Stream pipeline?

That is a question on the minds of many Americans and many other people around the world. Answers are not so easy to come by as the Democrats have long and rambling press conferences to try to explain why such massive military action has been taken and what the relationship with the Chinese Communist Party is at the moment.

Many people are speculating on social media about the details of NORAD and the military taking the very first action in US history of shooting down balloons.

NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden says the hysteria over UFOs being shot down over America and Canada is a distraction from Seymour Hersh’s story about the U.S. being responsible for blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines, according to media reports.

“Over the past week, there have been at least four instances of U.S. fighter jets destroying unidentified flying objects, in one case over Alaska, an object that had no means of propulsion but was spotted flying at 40,000 feet and pilots said interfered with the sensors of their aircraft,” Paul Joesph Watson reported for Summit News, adding:

“Yesterday, the White House denied that the objects were extraterrestrial in nature, although the glib dismissal if anything only continued to feed into speculation online that ET had paid a flying visit. In reality, as most people have pointed out, the shootdowns are likely a show of force to save the Biden administration’s blushes from questions as to why the Chinese spy balloon was allowed to monitor America in the first place.”

The outlet continued with more details about the unfolding events:

According to Edward Snowden, the UFO flap is also a misdirection to wipe the infinitely more awkward Seymour Hersh story from the headlines.

Snowden tweeted that the hysteria was an “engineered” bait and switch to prevent the media from covering the pipeline explosion revelations.

“it’s not aliens

i wish it were aliens

but it’s not aliens

it’s just the ol’ engineered panic, an attractive nuisance ensuring natsec reporters get assigned to investigate balloon bullshit rather than budgets or bombings (à la nordstream)

until next time,” Edward Snowden (@Snowden) posted on Twitter on February 13, 2023.

Watson reminded readers about an article that also exposed the theory that there is something to be covered about the actions of the Biden administration:

“Last week, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh published an article in which he asserted that the pipelines were destroyed by the US as part of a covert operation.

According to Hersh’s sources, the explosives were planted in June 2022 by US Navy divers under the guise of the BALTOPS 22 NATO exercise and were detonated three months later with a remote signal sent by a sonar buoy.”

One source told Hersh that the plotters knew the covert operation was an “act of war,” with some in the CIA and State Department warning, “Don’t do this. It’s stupid and will be a political nightmare if it comes out.”

In an update to the story, Hersh gave an interview with Radio War Nerd in which he slammed the mainstream media for criticizing him personally rather than investigating the story.

“It’s amazing to me how they fall in line, my colleagues,” said Hersh, referring to the New York Times and the Washington Post.

As we previously highlighted, Snowden chided the White House’s denial that it was involved in the pipeline attack by pointing out it also denied previous false flags.

“Can you think of any examples from history of a secret operation that the White House was responsible for, but strongly denied?” Snowden tweeted.

“Besides, you know, that little ‘mass surveillance’ kerfuffle,” he added.

Snowden included a UPI news report from April 1961 in which US Secretary of State Dean Rusk denied the Bay of Pigs had been “staged from American soil,” with Rusk telling the media, “the Cuban affair was one for the Cubans themselves to settle.”

As Watson also points out:

“A report by the US National Intelligence office revealed the UFO, sightings have skyrocketed over the past year. There’s also a weird revelation going on with UFOs where the same military-industrial complex of mainstream media that wants to ridicule the entire subject now imposes its legitimacy on the general public at every available opportunity.

Ufology was a niche subject in the 90s and its adherents were largely dismissed and laughed at. Now every other Normie is into it, thanks to its Relentless promulgation and promotion by the mainstream media.

Also, an interesting coincidence that this is all happening while the political establishment lobbies for defense spending cuts to be taken off the table. Now, looks like this latest UFO flap may not be the signal for an imminent Alien Invasion but is actually part of the Biden administration bait-and-switch, a smokescreen to distract Americans from the highly embarrassing fact that the Chinese appear to be spying on the US with total impunity under his watch. It’s also convenient. Misdirection to shift another awkward revelation from the headlines….”

Watch Watson break it down in this blistering rebuke:

I agree it’s a distraction, but I don’t think it’s a distraction from the Nordstream. I could be wrong, however.

We just haven’t found out what it is yet.

“Edward Snowden is a Russian asset now.”

Plenty of FReepers say the same of any that do not back the corrupt Ukraine regime.

That’s just a brief snapshot. It’s been going on a long time.

He’s a traitor from the git-go. A loner, he was in Brennan’s rogue CIA sent into NSA via CIA contractor Booz-Allen (spook geriatric body shop) to infiltrate NSA and steal their spy tools which were making CIA assets look obsolete. Globalist CIA just had to have those NSA tools.

CIA = Gaggle of Scumbags
NSA = Military Patriots

CCP owned Hollywood Studio (*) made a film “Snowden” to romanticize him. Stupid commie f*ucks.

(*) Snowden film was made by OPENROAD Films which was joint with CCP owned AMC, both owned by Donald Tang who was born in Shanghai.

Same pattern used with film “The Social Network” fictionalizing life of Zuckerturd. The plan was to enamor these creeps among Americans to soften any resistance to espionage and theft.

” ... some in the CIA and State Department warning ‘Don’t do this. It’s stupid and will become a political nightmare if it comes out.”

Of course that is insanely wrong with our DeepState communist media: no nightmare, no nothing.
All these traitors should hang.

This is off topic and I apologize but a few weeks ago I saw a short news segment where the JFK assassination has been forensically researched by this gentleman for 40 years, right down to the skull fragments. I’m old and I can’t recall his name or the book he just wrote about it and was recently published. He concluded there were three shooters and that it was a coup de-tat carried out by the CIA and covered up by the Warren Commission. I haven’t seen anything about it since. Freepers are smart and usually well informed so can anyone here tell me the name of this JFK assassination researcher and his new book? Thanking you in advance for your help.

Nordstream? Per the Hersh article (meticulously researched) it was the Biden admin which never briefed congress. An act of war.

Something almost no one mentions is the American people are supposed to be easy to distract but somehow are adept at multitasking.

I see more drivers than ever on their phones as they drive one handed.
Any exercise machine user at a fitness place or someone running or jogging outside has earbuds or even a phone call chat going on as they get in front of cars in traffic.
And a family meal features kids using their phones and adults taking new phone calls at the table as they eat.

But with politics they can be distracted by any new media story. It is true.

Directed to article author==I resent the word “hysteria” for consideration of possibilities of UFOs and Chinese spy craft in discussions—
“The name hysteria is derived from the Greek word hystera which means uterus. In the earliest known treatise dealing with the complaint—Kahun papyrus dating from about 1900 BC—it is attributed to starvation or displacement of the uterus.”

When women are said to be hysterical or emotional it is a sexist slur.
