It’s not that we are afraid. It’s more that we all know what the heavy implications are if this report pans out to be true.
The report is being ignored by just about every major outlet, and politicians don’t even want to talk about it, with good reason.
A little background first.
Seymour Hersh is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who has exposed many scandals inside the United States government.
Hersch’s first big story was unearhting the My Lai Massacre coverup, then he exposed the clandestine bombing of Cambodia, and he was first to blow the whistle on the wierdness going on at Abu Ghraib prison.
The investigative journalist also kept Obama honest about the death of Osama bin Laden and was the first to expose that it was ISIS (we didn’t really know it was them at the time) not Assad that was using chemical weapons in Syria.
Now he’s back with a story that I think we should hope isn’t true.
On February 8, 2023, Hersh published a report titled, “How America Took Out The Nord Stream Pipeline.”
The report gives a detailed account from whistleblowers showing how the Biden administration kept his secret from congress and executed the mission.
Yes, we know, of course, the US did it. But there is a difference in the game of geopolitics in believing we did it and having proof that we deliberately attacked another country we weren’t at war with.
Hersch wrote:
Last June, the Navy divers, operating under the cover of a widely publicized mid-summer NATO exercise known as BALTOPS 22, planted the remotely triggered explosives that, three months later, destroyed three of the four Nord Stream pipelines, according to a source with direct knowledge of the operational planning.
Two of the pipelines, which were known collectively as Nord Stream 1, had been providing Germany and much of Western Europe with cheap Russian natural gas for more than a decade. A second pair of pipelines, called Nord Stream 2, had been built but were not yet operational. Now, with Russian troops massing on the Ukrainian border and the bloodiest war in Europe since 1945 looming, President Joseph Biden saw the pipelines as a vehicle for Vladimir Putin to weaponize natural gas for his political and territorial ambitions.
The award-winning journalist then went into a detailed account showing how Biden withheld the operation from Congress, the allies who were involved, and how the operation was carried out.
By the way, how the CIA & military carried this mission out if true was pretty incredible. The technology involved in the claimed operation is unreal.
A spokesperson for the White House National Security Council Adrienne Watson has called the report “utterly false.”
“This is utterly false and complete fiction,” said Adrienne Watson said.
Republican Senator Mike Lee wants some answers.
If true, the executive branch has unilaterally waged war against a near-peer nuclear power. https://t.co/KqIPnI5QJo

The Senator from Utah added this should this report be found to be false it is slander but understood the weight of what it means should it be true.
“If false, slander. If true, war,” Lee added.
Honestly, the story is so big that it warrants investigation.
I’m troubled that I can’t immediately rule out the suggestion that the U.S. blew up Nord Stream. I checked with a bunch of Senate colleagues. Among those I’ve asked, none were ever briefed on this. If it turns out to be true, we’ve got a huge problem. https://t.co/DG0dYTByPI

This is why nobody wants to talk about it.
Consider one other thought…Could you imagine what would be happening right now if this occurred during the Trump administration (not that he would be stupid enough to do this).
Let’s hope the report isn’t true.
However, should it be, get ready to watch the soy boy’s with Twitter accounts that have the Ukraine flag in their bio freaking out about the draft.
Which would be imposed by a Democrat president.
