Pulitzer winner Seymour Hersh claims US Navy behind Nord Stream ... (New York Post)

Seymour Hersh has alleged US Navy divers laid bombs that destroyed the Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline under the Baltic Sea last September.

“If Russia invades — that means tanks or troops crossing the border of Ukraine, again — then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2,” Biden said on Feb. “We will bring an end to it.” “The situation is as serious as it gets.” Garn told The Post “the United States was not involved in the Nord Stream explosion,” reiterating the Defense Department’s [suspected the blasts](https://nypost.com/2022/10/06/swedish-probe-finds-signs-of-detonations-at-nord-stream-leak-sites/) were the result of “gross sabotage,” and some Western officials were quick to blame the attacks on Moscow as it blocked gas supplies to Europe in response to sanctions over last year’s invasion of Ukraine.

Seymour Hersh Unveils the 'Mystery' of the Nord Stream Pipeline (teleSUR English)

This journalist claims that U.S. forces planted explosives under Nord Stream oil pipelines while taking part in NATO exercises in 2022.

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.” Denmark had also been one of the original NATO signatories and was known in the intelligence community for its special ties to the United Kingdom. The Panama City boys would do their thing and the C4 explosives would be in place by the end of BALTOPS22, with a 48-hour timer attached. In that way, someone higher up could intervene and keep a report out of the chain of command, thus insulating the pipeline operation. Nord Stream 1 and 2, each with two sets of pipelines, were separated much of the way by little more than a mile as they made their run to the port of Greifswald in the far northeast of Germany. America also has vastly expanded a Norwegian air base in the north and delivered to the Norwegian air force a fleet of Boeing-built P8 Poseidon patrol planes to bolster its long-range spying on all things Russia. The plan to blow up Nord Stream 1 and 2 was suddenly downgraded from a covert operation requiring that Congress be informed to one that was deemed as a highly classified intelligence operation with U.S. Under the law, the source explained, “There was no longer a legal requirement to report the operation to Congress. According to the source, some of the senior officials of the CIA determined that blowing up the pipeline “no longer could be considered a covert option because the President just announced that we knew how to do it.” The recording device and its tape had to be replaced monthly and the project rolled on merrily for a decade until it was compromised by a forty-four-year-old civilian NSA technician named Ronald Pelton who was fluent in Russian. “The plan was for the options to be executed post invasion and not advertised publicly. sabotage of the North Stream, after the destruction of the southern gas pipeline due to the earthquake, it will be difficult not to depend even more on the U.S.

Biden ordered destruction of Nord Stream pipelines, claims ... (Peoples Dispatch)

Earlier investigations carried out by Denmark and Sweden had already confirmed sabotage as the reason for the leaks in the Nord Stream gas pipeline.

It had [called the act](https://tass.com/world/1515813) an “unprecedented act of state terrorism,” and had demanded serious international investigations. It was done now with the objective of ending European resistance to supplying money and weapons to Ukraine, and to sway Europe towards taking a more actively anti-Russia stance . Bottom line: when Seymour Hersh reports on security state malfeasance by Republicans, like Nixon or Bush, his sourcing/methods are vigorously defended by respectable mainstream opinion. The first formal meeting, Hersh says, was held in December 2021. Two pipelines of Nord Stream 1 had been operational for over a decade, supplying billions of dollars of gas to Germany and other Western European countries. Of the four Nord Stream pipelines, the blasts destroyed three.
