Seymour Hersh: CIA Planted Nord Stream Cover-Up Story<\/a><\/p>\n

Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh\u00a0published an article on Substack<\/a> on Wednesday\u00a0that said the CIA was instructed to come up with a cover story for the Nord Stream bombings that was fed to\u00a0The New York Times<\/em>\u00a0and the German newspaper\u00a0Die Zeit<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The cover-up story was created to shift blame from the US after Hersh\u2019s\u00a0bombshell report<\/a>\u00a0published on February 8 that said President Biden ordered the attack on the Nord Stream natural gas pipelines, which connect Russia to Germany. “It was a total fabrication by American intelligence that was passed along to the Germans, and aimed at discrediting your story,” <\/strong>Hersh was told by a source within the American intelligence community.<\/p>\n

Hersh said that the CIA was ordered to come up with a cover story after President Biden met with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Washington on March 3. Scholz\u2019s visit was very brief and did not include the routine joint press briefing that usually follows a meeting between the president and another world leader. Hersh was told that his report detailing how the US took out Nord Stream was discussed by Biden and Scholz<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Hersh writes: “I was told by someone with access to diplomatic\u00a0intelligence that there was a discussion of the pipeline expos\u00e9\u00a0and, as a result, certain elements in the Central Intelligence Agency were asked to prepare a cover story in collaboration with German intelligence that would provide the American and German press with an alternative version for the destruction of Nord Stream 2<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

The result of the CIA\u2019s work\u00a0was published in\u00a0The New York Times<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Die Zeit<\/em><\/a>\u00a0on March 7.\u00a0The New York Times<\/em>\u00a0report was very vague and said US officials are now claiming the Nord Stream bombings might have been carried out by a “pro-Ukrainian group.”<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Die Zeit<\/em>\u00a0report claimed German investigators believe it was carried out by six people using a yacht rented in Poland that was owned by two Ukrainians<\/strong>. Other Western media outlets published similar articles\u00a0reinforcing the cover story<\/a>\u00a0in the following days.<\/p>\n

Hersh said the information\u00a0The New York Times<\/em>\u00a0received \u201coriginated with a group of CIA experts in deception and propaganda whose mission was to feed the newspaper a cover story<\/strong>\u2014and to protect a president who made an unwise decision and is now lying about it.”<\/p>\n

The cover story offers a radically different narrative than what Hersh\u2019s February 8 report alleges. Using anonymous sourcing, Hersh reported that the Nord Stream pipelines were destroyed by explosives planted by US Navy divers in June 2022 under the cover of NATO drills in the Baltic Sea. The operation was done in coordination with Norway, and a Norwegian spy plane detonated the explosives by dropping a sonar buoy on September 26, 2022.<\/p>\n

The last time Scholz visited Washington was on February 7, 2022. Biden vowed during a press conference that day that if Russia invaded Ukraine,\u00a0he would “bring an end”<\/strong> to the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. According to Hersh, the plot to destroy the pipelines was already underway at that time, and the plotters took Biden\u2019s comment as a blatant threat.<\/p>\n

On Scholz\u2019s possible complicity in the operation, Hersh said in his new article: “At this point, it must be noted that Chancellor Scholz, whether or not he was alerted of the destruction of the pipeline in advance\u2014still an open question\u2014has clearly been complicit <\/strong>since last fall in support of the Biden Administration\u2019s cover-up of its operation in the Baltic Sea.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
