A bombshell report from independent journalist Seymour Hersh — published on Substack — reveals and confirms exactly what we reported last year: That the US Dept. of Defense covertly blew up the Nordstream pipelines, carrying out an act of terrorism against its own western allies in an insanely dangerous effort to harm Russia’s energy exports.
The destruction of the Nordstream pipelines (also printed as Nord Stream) was reportedly carried out with the help of the government of Norway, and the planting of explosives used the cover of the BALTOPS 22 US Navy exercise in June of 2022, during which US Navy divers planted explosives that were, three months later, remotely detonated by a sonar buoy dropped into the Baltic Sea with a Norwegian Air Force P8 Poseidon patrol plane.
As Hersh writes:
The C4 attached to the pipelines would be triggered by a sonar buoy dropped by a plane on short notice, but the procedure involved the most advanced signal processing technology. Once in place, the delayed timing devices attached to any of the four pipelines could be accidentally triggered by the complex mix of ocean background noises throughout the heavily trafficked Baltic Sea—from near and distant ships, underwater drilling, seismic events, waves and even sea creatures. To avoid this, the sonar buoy, once in place, would emit a sequence of unique low frequency tonal sounds—much like those emitted by a flute or a piano—that would be recognized by the timing device and, after a pre-set hours of delay, trigger the explosives.
CIA, Air Force, Navy, State Dept and Biden leaders were all in on it
The CIA, US Air Force, US Navy, US State Dept. and the Biden administration were all in on the planning, which of course makes them all war criminals for blowing up civilian infrastructure that has caused unprecedented economic destruction and human suffering across all of Western Europe.
Widespread shutdowns of industry, metals smelting operations, fertilizer production and even the entire BASF manufacturing facility in Germany soon followed the loss of Nordstream. Cutting off affordable, abundant energy to Europe was the last straw, and it is already beginning to plunge Europe into a new era of poverty and deindustrialization from which Western European civilization will likely never recover. The 2023 and 2024 crop harvests will also be devastated due to the lack of fertilizer, as nitrogen-based fertilizers are produced from the hydrocarbons that came from Russia via the Nordstream pipelines. This means many Europeans will starve due to the terrorism acts of the US and Norway.
Also thanks to the greenie climate cultists, European countries are generally unwilling to tap their own energy resources, which made them almost entirely dependent on Russia. Norway was one exception to that, as the country is eager to export energy to other European nations, which also explains why Norway was apparently happy to go along with the unlawful destruction of the Nordstream pipeline.
US officials cheered this act of terrorism against its own allies, including Germany
US officials were thrilled to see the pipeline destroyed, even though the loss of affordable energy is currently devastating the economies of European countries. From the Hersh article:
Asked at a press conference last September about the consequences of the worsening energy crisis in Western Europe, Blinken described the moment as a potentially good one:
“It’s a tremendous opportunity to once and for all remove the dependence on Russian energy and thus to take away from Vladimir Putin the weaponization of energy as a means of advancing his imperial designs. That’s very significant and that offers tremendous strategic opportunity for the years to come, but meanwhile we’re determined to do everything we possibly can to make sure the consequences of all of this are not borne by citizens in our countries or, for that matter, around the world.”
More recently, Victoria Nuland expressed satisfaction at the demise of the newest of the pipelines. Testifying at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing in late January she told Senator Ted Cruz, “?Like you, I am, and I think the Administration is, very gratified to know that Nord Stream 2 is now, as you like to say, a hunk of metal at the bottom of the sea.”
On February 7, less than three weeks before the seemingly inevitable Russian invasion of Ukraine, Biden met in his White House office with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who, after some wobbling, was now firmly on the American team. At the press briefing that followed, Biden defiantly said, “If Russia invades . . . there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.”
Twenty days earlier, Undersecretary Nuland had delivered essentially the same message at a State Department briefing, with little press coverage. “I want to be very clear to you today,” she said in response to a question. “If Russia invades Ukraine, one way or another Nord Stream 2 will not move forward.”
Thus, Joe Biden, Victoria Nuland, Jake Sullivan, Tony Blinken and other US officials were all-in on the US committing this act of terrorism against civilian infrastructure, impacting the lives of literally hundreds of millions of Europeans. This is the perfect demonstration of the real “values” of the West: Sacrifice the economies of your own allies to try to hurt your geopolitical enemies, no matter how many lives are destroyed in the process.
Putin demands punishment of those responsible
Validimir Putin is already demanding that those responsible for this act of terrorism against civilian infrastructure be named and punished. From the UK Daily Mail:
The Kremlin said on Thursday the world should know the truth about who sabotaged the Nord Stream gas pipelines and that those responsible should be punished after an investigative journalist said U.S. divers blew them up at the behest of the White House.
In a blog post, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh cited an unidentified source as saying that U.S. navy divers had destroyed the pipelines with explosives on the orders of President Joe Biden.
Importantly, all the war criminals who carried out this heinous act against Western Europe are, of course, denying any involvement. We’re supposed to believe the pipelines just spontaneously blew up for no reason. It’s a “mystery” that the media and the White House don’t ever want solved. From the UK Daily Mail story:
Reuters was unable to corroborate the allegations. The White House dismissed them as ‘utterly false and complete fiction’. Norway’s foreign ministry said the allegations were ‘nonsense’.
The following graphic is from the UK Daily Mail article, linked above:
The western corporate media — controlled by the CIA, which took part in the Nordstream sabotage — is refusing to cover this whistleblower bombshell truth, running cover for the criminal acts of the US State Dept. and Biden administration. From the UK Daily Mail:
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Hersh’s blog post deserved more attention and that he was surprised it had not been covered more fully by Western media.
‘The world must find out the truth about who carried out this act of sabotage,’ Peskov told reporters. ‘This is a very dangerous precedent: if someone did it once, they can do it again anywhere in the world.’
He called for ‘an open international investigation of this unprecedented attack on international critical infrastructure’, adding: ‘It is impossible to leave this without uncovering those responsible and punishing them.’
Nazis and terrorists now define the western empire
Now we know that not only is the Zelensky regime run by Nazis, but the US Biden regime is run by terrorists. And they will use bombs, assassinations, coercion, economic terrorism, propaganda and anything else it takes to try to bully the world into surrendering to the dictatorial demands of the West.
Remember, too, that if our own government will do this to the innocent civilians of Europe, what evil acts of death and destruction might they be willing to carry out against us if it serves their political aims?
The United States does not believe in respecting the right of any other nation to exist unless it bows down to the imperialistic demands of the US empire. No wonder most of the other nations of the world — including Saudi Arabia — now hate America and its disingenuous, racist, deceptive leadership.
This is also why most nations of the world will abandon the US dollar for oil settlements, resulting in the end of the dollar as the dominant world reserve currency.
