In an interview with China Daily, Seymour Hersh, a US investigative journalist who revealed that the US government is the mastermind behind the Nord Stream pipelines explosion, said that he would not be surprised at the stupidity of what the US government does when he first heard the news and confirmed by a source that the Nord Stream pipelines was bombed at order from US President Joe Biden.
Hersh also said that it was no secret that Biden wanted to bring an end to the Nord Stream, but Western media have turned a blind eye to it.
In an article published on February 8, Hersh – citing an anonymous source with direct knowledge of the operation – claimed that during the BALTOPS 22 maritime exercise, US Navy divers, operating under cover, planted remotely triggered explosives that destroyed three of the four Nord Stream pipelines.
As an investigative journalist and political writer, Seymour Hersh 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, also reporting on the secret US bombing of Cambodia and the CIA’s program of domestic spying. In 2004, he detailed the US military’s torture and abuse of prisoners at Abu Ghraib in Iraq for The New Yorker. Hersh has won a record five George Polk Awards, and two National Magazine Awards.
Whatever your take on him but just imagine if it was Trump who did this. The airwaves would become congested and we would just never hear the end of it.
I guess the Guiness Book of World Records ought to have Trump as the most harassed orange-haired businessman in history. Now the Germans can burn their Deutsche Marks to keep warm.
If you want to break bad news, give the appearence of a functioning press, and maintain the illusion of democracy, you release bad news on your terms, with CIAda flunkies such as the Hurshy Bar Kid. Don’t believe a fecking word he says.
Biden may have sanctioned the international terror attack on Nord Stream 2, but I bet MI6 suggested it, and the actual op was carried out by the SAS/SBS. Maybe through their private op drop box. We can do anything, for a price.
Hersh is accidentally useful, attacking America, which is a bad country governmentally, but not for the reasons he thinks, (but maybe the real reasons and his are not too different). A good reporter would notice the Jewishness of the problem
What! The MSM don’t report the truth? Well colour me shocked. The only places to read or hear the truth are ‘conspiracy’ sites.

“.. 50m of pipe is missing, it would take a lot of explosives to make that happen.”
“Color me skeptical if that [video] is accurate that [50 meters] pipe is “missing” and is typical of all four pipes. It is true that damaging the pipe in two locations only 50m/165′ apart would significantly slow repairs, either by subsea habitat welds or hauling ends to the surface. Completely severing and removing a section of pipe would make repairs faster as oppose to just blowing holes.”
“IF the estimate is correct and this damage is typical of all four pipes, it really points the finger at the US. Plenty of countries have the diving and ROV expertise but, AFAIK, only the US has the capacity to pull it off without detection — saturation divers and/or ROVs from a submarine.”
“It takes a LOT of bottom time and explosives to cause this much damage. A few divers on rebreathers hauling plastic explosives from a small boat couldn’t get it done without detection.”
“My first question would be where was the USS Jimmy Carter?”
Gosh, that was my first question too..
“The US literally built the USS Jimmy Carter to have a specialized module for carrying out seabed special operations. Nobody can track this submarine effectively.”
“But Hersh thinks that instead of doing a far easier, simpler, almost risk free action, the US decided to rope in Norway, Sweden and Denmark and carry out an exercise right in front of the Russians, who were monitoring BALTOPS, and use overly complicated explosive systems, diving apparatus which all introduce huge risk and to set up some complex sonar signal explosive system?”
“Involving the consent of an ex-CIA teenage officer?”
I think America has shot itself in both feet and probably a few other places. European countries still get some oil and gas from Russia but not enough to maintain strong industries, so America can no longer ask Europe to either fund bailouts of its dollar (though there’s a new mechanism called something like dollar support swaps which does prop up the dollar by buying newly-printed dollars with Euros, but probably nowhere near the sums the dollar needs), and Europe isn’t buying US LNG in the volumes first predicted, either.
With no energy to fuel its industry Europe cannot switch to manufacturing arms to support a US war on Russia, Iraq and China, and while some industries transfer to America some are talking about going to China. Europe and China are two ends of the same landmass and China has plans for extensive transport links for its Belt and Road Initiative. And Europeans are beginning to despise the US in ways that would not have happened before Nordstream was bombed. So the US shot quite a few holes into itself. Good.
