The U.S. mainstream media has completely ignored a bombshell and heavily detailed report by Seymour Hersh, the legendary investigative journalist who exposed the My Lai massacre during the Vietnam War, proving again that most news outlets are just propaganda shills for the deep state. While the report was detailed, Hersh would not reveal any of his sources for obvious reasons, Russia Today reported. But he did say that today's journalists are more like stenographers, not real investigative types who are allowed to go after corruption, graft, and abuse of power by either party. “The problem is, it’s all been cheapened. Because now the New York Times and the Washington Post think an unnamed source can be a press guy, a press secretary, that whispers something to them on the side. I don’t know, they don’t seem to have anyone inside,” Hersh said. He went on to say that the major news outlets are failing to report a lot of things about the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine: “The war I know about is not the war you’re reading about. It’s amazing to me how they fall in line, my colleagues." Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov says that Hersh’s account deserves a lot more attention than it has gotten and that those responsible must be held accountable. “The world must find out the truth about who carried out this act of sabotage,” he told reporters late last week. “This is a very dangerous precedent: if someone did it once, they can do it again anywhere in the world.” Earlier this month, Hersh laid out the plot in a lengthy Substack article that included some deep-state sources who filled in some blanks for him. “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,” Hersh reported, adding: 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. He went on to report that highly specialized Navy divers were chosen for the mission, not members of Special Operations Command, because their ops have to be reported to Congress and briefed to the “Gang of Eight” — the House and Senate leadership. So, the regime was planning its mission with the objective of avoiding leaks as best as possible, which appeared to be a success as planning began in earnest after 2022 began. In the end, the investigative journalist said the operation was based out of a newly refurbished U.S. submarine base in Norway: The Norwegian navy was quick to find the right spot, in the shallow waters of the Baltic sea a few miles off Denmark’s Bornholm Island. The pipelines ran more than a mile apart along a seafloor that was only 260 feet deep. That would be well within the range of the divers, who, operating from a Norwegian Alta class mine hunter, would dive with a mixture of oxygen, nitrogen and helium streaming from their tanks, and plant shaped C4 charges on the four pipelines with concrete protective covers. It would be tedious, time consuming and dangerous work, but the waters off Bornholm had another advantage: there were no major tidal currents, which would have made the task of diving much more difficult. “After a bit of research, the Americans were all in,” Hersh wrote. Months later, according to Hersh, a Norwegian surveillance plane dropped a sonobuoy with a transmitter to the surface of the water. Once activated, the sonobuoy began transmitting low-frequency tonal sounds to the C4 charges, thereby detonating them. The Biden regime has, of course, denied everything.
