gone fishin' for red herrings....... (UPDATED)

A vessel allegedly linked to the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines is currently anchored off the north-east coast of Germany in the Baltic Sea, Der Spiegel has reported. The German news website also claimed one of the e-mail addresses used by the alleged bombers might point to Ukrainian involvement.

According to Monday's report, Der Spiegel journalists found the ‘Andromeda’ yacht on the Bug peninsula in the Dranske municipality, in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern region, which used to serve as a base for the German Democratic Republic’s Navy.

Currently, the site is allegedly being used by a charter firm which, as several German media outlets have claimed, rented out the vessel to the suspected saboteurs on September 6. The report alleged that one of the crewmembers, who paid for the yacht in cash, flashed a “Bulgarian or Romanian passport.” The company supposedly has the number of his ID document and boating license details.

In addition, an e-mail address used by one of the individuals “could, according to Der Spiegel’s investigation, point to Ukraine.” However, the outlet cautioned that this does not necessarily mean the Ukrainian government was involved in the alleged operation, noting that it might be a deliberate red herring.

The version of events suggesting that the yacht was used to plant the bombs began circulating in the German media earlier this month. Several outlets claimed a team of six people, including a captain, two divers, two diving assistants, and a female doctor were behind the attack. According to initial reports, the alleged saboteurs presented “professionally forged passports,” meaning that their identities and nationalities were unknown.

Last Tuesday, the New York Times released a report, citing anonymous US intelligence officials, that alleged a “pro-Ukrainian group” was behind the September 2022 attacks, with “no American or British nationals” involved.

The following day, the German Prosecutor’s Office confirmed that the vessel had been searched in January, but stopped short of divulging further details.

Commenting on the reports, top Ukrainian officials have denied any involvement.

The Kremlin, for its part, has been skeptical of theories pointing to Kiev, with Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov saying it looked like an attempt to deflect attention from the real culprits.

“As for a pro-Ukrainian ‘Dr. Evil’ who organized this, it’s hardly believable,” he said on Thursday.

Last month, veteran American investigative journalist Seymour Hersh released a bombshell report accusing Washington of destroying the Nord Stream pipelines.

‘I'm Telling You, He Did It’: Seymour Hersh Slams Biden as Nord Stream Bomber at National Press Club  

BY WYATT REED

 

Pulitzer-prize winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh made waves again Tuesday night when he excoriated the Biden administration and lambasted mainstream media coverage of the Nord Stream bombing, the Russiagate story, and the Democrat Party's love of war at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.

In a wide-ranging discussion, journalist Seymour Hersh doubled down on his explosive findings that US President Joe Biden ordered the Nord Stream pipelines to be blown up last year using C-4 charges previously planted by US Navy divers, took his former employers at the New York Times to task for their uncritical reporting on the issue, and slammed top Biden officials as "lunatics."

"We've got to cut; we've got these lunatics," Hersh told audiences at the storied press center.

While he said he’s "sure they're high IQ," the journalist noted that "[US Secretary of State] Tony Blinken, [US national security adviser] Jake Sullivan, [Under Secretary for Political Affairs Victoria] Nuland… are just doing insane things."

As for Biden, there’s no doubt the commander-in-chief played a central role in ensuring that the Nord Stream sabotage took place, Hersh told event attendees.

"He did it. He did it," Hersh reiterated. "I'm telling you, he did it." And now, the legendary journalist said "the Biden game is to wait it out and never say yes."

The decision to take out the pipelines was potentially taken due to Biden’s desire to secure reelection, Hersh said. "I think Biden also saw beating up Russia as a ticket. Jack Kennedy is a classic example – presidents always did well politically in wars."

So in January of 2022, Hersh said, top Biden officials decided to "see if we can find a way to blow… those pipelines, and put [the Russians] back in the dark ages." But many Americans remain in the dark about the situation, he said, due to what he describes as the mainstream media’s dereliction of duty.

"We don't ever get news anymore," Hersh lamented. "And the newspapers cover what they want" – mainly, "Biden."

 

Asked why legacy media continues to ignore the bombshell report on the Biden administration’s responsibility for the Nord Stream bombings, Hersh was succinct: "they don't like what I'm writing."

He took aim at the White House Press Corp in particular. "I have a horror about the White House press corps" because "they're so tied to the beat," Hersh explained.

It’s the "job" of the White House press secretary "to produce pablum. And… reduce everything to pablum. And that's not challenged by anybody."

Media Subservience & Democrats’ Love of War

At the infamous February 2022 joint press conference in which Biden threatened to "bring an end to Nord Stream 2" if Russian forces entered Ukrainian territory, corporate media subservience was on full display, Hersh bemoaned.

When a German reporter pushed back and asked how Biden would “do that, since the project and control of the project is within Germany's control,” the US president was undeterred: “I promise you – we will find a way.”

As Hersh explains, the power dynamic on display was highly revealing.

"After that meeting with that unbelievably shoddy, embarrassing meeting with [German Chancellor Olaf] Scholz, who went home, you know, slunk his way back. I hope they put him at least in the Blair House and, you know, not in a Motel Six somewhere."

 

 

"It was really unbelievable. It was so depressing to see this man coming like a lap dog and having 5 minutes in the sun."

 

As a veteran reporter who cut his teeth covering the US war in Vietnam, Hersh expressed surprise at the surge in militarism among Democrats in recents years.

"Ironically, in the Vietnam War, it was always the Democrats and a few moderate Republicans actually were the leaders," he said.

"Now the critics are reversed. The Democrats are dead on this one. They want this war and they want to push [war] with China. And we do have a considerable body of Republicans who are against it, but they're not the majority."

"It's a very strange position," Hersh added. "I always thought the Democratic Party was more anti-war, but they're into this one big time."

Russiagate, Twitter Files & US Desperation

The Democrat-Republican switch on war matters can partially be traced back to the Russiagate hoax, which took hold in the imaginations of huge numbers of Democrats in 2017. That’s when the Clinton campaign attempted to pin the blame for her surprise loss to former President Donald Trump on a supposed Russian influence campaign.

There was just one problem: the influence campaign in question never happened, as demonstrated by numerous reports debunking the conspiracy theory. But despite knowing it wasn’t true, high-ranking political authorities continued to run with the narrative for years.

Yet, as revealed by American journalists like Matt Taibbi in a series of exposés that have become known as the Twitter Files, FBI officials continued to use the specter of Russian election interference to demand the censorship of private Americans for years afterwards.

“The basic theory is the media did realize the incredible power they had to manipulate on social media,” Hersh explained.

And now the Twitter Files have revealed exactly "what the government would [do], in its desperation to prove that Russia was behind the 2016 election," Hersh said — and it’s "not pleasant."

 

 

"I have friends that I have trusted for 40 years," Hersh said, and "there's… not a shred of real intelligence" that Russia was behind Trump’s election. "It's really a mess. That story's a mess."

 

Caught in the Crosshairs

But the course charted by American elites in the aftermath of Trump’s election was in many ways predictable, according to the journalist, who went on to state it’s no surprise the US would take any opportunity to go after another one of their long-term targets:

 

 

"I mean, we're big haters. We always, we learned to hate in World War Two. And we've had you know, everybody is on our hit list – Saddam, Bashar Assad."

 

Though slain former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad were erstwhile US partners, both found themselves in the crosshairs of American foreign policy in the aftermath of the terror attacks on the World Trade Center, when the US began its rush to war with a number of Middle Eastern nations.

Since then, the American “hit list” has come to include a number of other foreign leaders as well, Hersh noted.

"Certainly… all the people in Iran on our hitlist… we always have a big hit list. And of course, [Russian President Vladimir] Putin's way up there."

"[Putin] is very smart. And he knows his facts. And he spits them out and he knows certain things,” Hersh continued, later touching on the Black Sea Grain Initiative that was negotiated by Turkish counterparts and hailed as a win for those in the developing world facing rising hunger.

WHEN SEYMOUR HERSH RELEASED HIS ARTICLE ON THE BOMBING OF THE NORD SEA PIPELINES, NO-ONE IN THE WESTERN MEDIA PAID ATTENTION UNTIL THE CIA AND ITS FRONT SHOPS HAD MANAGED TO CONCOCT SOME CONTRARY NARRATIVE THAT WERE DESIGNED TO MUDDY THE WATERS.... HERE COMES THE ABC:

 

In the early hours of September 26 last year, seismologists detected something in the Baltic Sea where the $16 billion Nord Stream gas pipelines connect Russia and Europe.

Explosions had torn apart the pipes, and it became clear that the highly controversial infrastructure, meant to be a major supplier of energy to Europe, had been sabotaged. 

Ukraine immediately pointed the finger at Russia, accusing it of wanting to "destabilise" Europe, while Moscow accused the United States. 

Earlier this month, a New York Times story suggested that a non-state actor supportive of Ukraine was to blame for the explosion. 

And since then, German media have reported that traces of explosives were found on a mysterious yacht seized by local authorities. 

So what exactly are the theories as to who was behind the incident, and how credible are they?

 What happened to the Nord Stream pipelines?

The explosions were recorded near the Danish island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea.

Seismic stations in Sweden, Norway and Finland detected two blasts — one south-east of the island and another north-east of the island.

The blasts happened in international waters but within the economic zones of Denmark and Sweden.

  Theory 1: A Russian 'terrorist attack' 

[MEGA-SILLY+] 

 

Theory 2: The US ordered the explosion

Russia's UN ambassador Vassily Nebenzia told the UN Security Council last year that Moscow wanted UN secretary-general António Guterres to establish an independent international investigation of the explosions.

Mr Nebenzia said Moscow had "no trust" in the separate investigations being carried out by Denmark, Sweden and Germany because Russia was not allowed to join the probes.

In a proposed resolution, Russia alleged that the US was behind the explosion and said the blast "occurred after the repeated threats to the Nord Stream by the leadership of the United States". 

US diplomat John Kelley denied US involvement in remarks at the UN, saying: "Accusations that the United States was involved in this act of sabotage are completely false. The United States was not involved in any way."

In February, investigative journalist Seymour Hersh published a Substack article titled "How America Took Out The Nord Stream Pipeline:", alleging the US carried out the blast with the approval of President Joe Biden.

Hersh famously exposed a massacre in the Vietnam War, where US soldiers slaughtered over 500 civilians in the South Vietnamese village of My Lai

In his article, he claimed Navy divers planted remotely triggered explosive devices on the pipelines under the guise of NATO exercise BALTOPS, before the blast was authorised.

He said the US was assisted by the Norwegian Navy.

"A Norwegian Navy P8 surveillance plane made a seemingly routine flight and dropped a sonar buoy," Hersh said.  

"The signal spread underwater, initially to Nord Stream 2 and then on to Nord Stream 1. A few hours later, the high-powered C4 explosives were triggered and three of the four pipelines were put out of commission."

His article referenced comments made by Mr Biden before the invasion of Ukraine began that the US would "bring an end" to Nord Stream 2 if Russia went ahead with the attack.

A spokesperson for the White House National Security Council dismissed the article as "utterly false and complete fiction".

 

Theory 3: A 'pro-Ukraine group' did it 

 

[BLAH BLAH BLAH....]

 

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-03-18/nord-stream-explosion-ukraine-us-who-is-responsible/102092274

 

BY GIVING EQUAL PROMINENCE TO THE THREE THEORIES, THE ABC COMMITS THE SIN OF OBJECTIVITY.... SEYMOUR HERSH VALUES THE TRUTH MORE THAN THE ABC.... HIS ARTICLE IS ACCURATE BUT ONE CANNOT REVEAL SOURCES WITHOUT TROUBLE. MEANWHILE, ANYONE ELSE CAN HAVE A "STORY" WITH "PROOFS" THAT ARE MORE LIKE SEEING FROGS ON THE MOON.

OF COURSE THE WHITE HOUSE WILL DISMISS HERSH'S REPORT BECAUSE THE AMERICANS CAN'T ADMIT HAVING DOING IT.

a corpse full of shit.....

Veteran investigative journalist Seymour Hersh’s bombshell February report on the US and Norwegian militaries’ involvement in last year’s terror attacks on the Nord Stream pipelines were ignored or dismissed by Washington, with US and German media eventually coming up with a far-fetched alternative explanation.

The New York Times’ March report about how a ‘pro-Ukrainian group’ unaffiliated with any government rented a yacht and used it to plant explosives on the Nord Stream pipelines has apparently proven too incredible for anyone to believe, with the Washington Post tweaking the story to suggest that the yacht may have been just one of multiple vessels involved in the act of sabotage.

In a story published Monday, unnamed “officials with knowledge” of an ongoing probe by German investigators told WaPo that Berlin now suspects that the Andromeda, the small yacht rented by the mysterious ‘pro-Ukrainian group’ to lay hundreds of kilograms of explosives, may not have been the only vessel involved in the “audacious attack” on the Russian pipelines.

 

 

Instead, officials said, the 50-foot vessel may have been only a decoy, “put to sea to distract from the true perpetrators, who remain at large.” The newspaper did not elaborate on who these “true perpetrators” may have been, or just whom the Andromeda was meant to distract. (The Nord Stream network’s four pipelines, stretching from Russia to northeastern Germany across the bottom of the Baltic Sea, are situated mostly in international waters, and their 1,200+ km length makes it virtually impossible for any nation to ensure their security using naval or coast guard assets).

 

Officials cited by WaPo expressed “hope” that the “true purpose” of the Andromeda in the attack might be revealed to “provide further insight” into the “high-stakes, international whodunit that could eventually lead to those responsible and explain their motives, which remain unclear.”

Diving and salvage experts told the paper that placing explosives on Nord Stream would have been easier to pull off using autonomous underwater vehicles or small subs than using divers aboard a yacht, who would find it physically draining and time-consuming to lay charges over 200 feet below the surface in a crowded international shipping lane.

Some officials quoted in the story also said the traces of “military-grade” explosives found aboard the Andromeda in the course of the German investigation may have been planted there to try to fool investigators, expressing doubt that “skilled saboteurs” might “leave such glaring evidence of their guilt behind.”

“It doesn’t all fit,” one senior European security official said. “But people can make mistakes.”

Blame Game

Other officials quoted by the paper pointed to “whispering” about possible Ukrainian or Polish state involvement in the attack on Nord Stream – something adamantly ruled out in last month’s New York Times story – which insisted the sabotage was carried out by a “pro-Ukrainian group” unaffiliated to Kiev an any way. Some officials said “Poland arguably had a motive” to sabotage Nord Stream, given Warsaw’s consistent criticism of the project.

 

 

Marcin Przydacz, a foreign policy advisor to Polish President Andrzej Duda, brushed off the allegations, saying they “could be a Russian game to blame” his country, and insisting that “Poland had nothing to do with” the terrorist attack.

One senior European diplomat told WaPo that some in the West are no longer interested in finding out who blew up Nord Stream, damaged the $20 billion piece of energy infrastructure and deprived Germany and the rest of Europe of a secure and competitively priced source of Russian natural gas. “It’s like a corpse at a family gathering,” the diplomat said. “It’s better not to know.”

Last month’s reporting on the Nord Stream attacks by the New York Times and German media brought new attention on the case in the wake of Sy Hersh’s reporting in February fingering US Navy divers and a Norwegian military aircraft as the culprits in the crime. Hersh dismissed the yacht story as “stupid” and accused Washington and Berlin of coordinating the Times’ “false cover story” featuring the mysterious ‘Ukrainian trace.’

Russian officials have mostly refrained from commenting on the NYT piece, instead reiterating Moscow’s calls for an impartial international investigation. However, former president and Russian Security Council deputy chairman Dmitry Medvedev couldn’t help but respond to the Times’ piece, comparing it to a shoddy “Hollywood drama” with “very poor casting and camera work, and a script that’s boring as s***.”

Facebook brands Seymour Hersh reporting ‘false’


The US social media giant has cited counterclaims by “independent fact-checkers” from Norway and Ukraine

 

Facebook has been criticized after opting to label reports by US investigative journalist Seymour Hersh as “false.” Hersh has made claims about American involvement in the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines and the alleged theft of US aid by Kiev, although the social media giant said “fact-checking” by outlets connected with Norway and Ukraine justified its use of the label.

Hersh claimed in February that last year’s sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines, which were built to transport gas from Russia to Germany, had been ordered by US President Joe Biden and carried out by a joint US-Norwegian team. Both nations have denied any responsibility.

Hersh’s article on the pipeline sabotage, which he published on the platform Substack, is now flagged as “false information” by Facebook, journalist Michael Shellenberger noted on Thursday. Facebook uses third parties, which it considers independent fact-checkers, to make decisions on whether to warn users about the content of links posted on the platform.

While Hersh’s claims are disputed, Facebook “has decided to take a side” and is “censoring” the veteran journalist, Shellenberger argued.

The fact-checker in this case was Norwegian public broadcaster NRK. On March 14, the organization reprinted an article by Faktisk.no, a media watchdog which counts NRK as among its partners. The watchdog claimed that, based on open source data, Hersh was mistaken about the alleged involvement of Norwegian Navy ships in the Nord Stream sabotage.

“Whether Hersh is wrong or right, his reporting should be debated publicly, not censored,” insisted Shellenberger, who recently helped expose social media censorship as part of the Twitter Files.

“Facebook’s actions are antithetical to America’s tradition of free and open debate and its rejection of secretive, authoritarian censorship,” he added.

Hersh published another bombshell report last week in which he claimed that US intelligence was aware of large-scale embezzlement of American aid money by the Ukrainian leadership. Facebook likewise labeled the report as “false,” citing the opinion of StopFake.org – a Ukraine-based, Western-funded media watchdog created to combat “Russian disinformation.”

StopFake disputed Hersh’s allegation because Substack is a self-publishing platform, rather than a so-called legacy outlet. It also referred to statements by US officials, who claimed they had seen no evidence of American aid being diverted in Ukraine. If Hersh’s allegations were true, the corruption “would be known to American auditors, and it would have negatively impacted assistance to Ukraine,” the outlet stated.

Hersh compared the situation in Ukraine to what happened in Afghanistan during the two decades of US military presence there. Reports by American inspectors exposed rampant corruption year after year, but that did not appear to affect US spending on “reconstruction” efforts in any significant way.
