“Don’t Talk About Nord Stream”: WaPo Report Further Demolishes Official Narrative<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n

German investigators are now expressing severe doubts about the official Nord Stream sabotage narrative that was pushed hard in the aftermath the bombshell Seymour Hersh report\u00a0which pointed<\/a>\u00a0the finger at a joint CIA-US Navy covert operation, with help from Norway.\u00a0Last month,\u00a0Hersh\u00a0published\u00a0an article on Substack\u00a0that said the\u00a0CIA planted a cover story<\/a>\u00a0for the Nord Stream bombings that was fed to\u00a0The New York Times<\/em>\u00a0and the German newspaper\u00a0Die Zeit<\/em>. Likely this was in direct reaction to\u00a0Hersh’s findings<\/a>. A source within the US intelligence community\u00a0told<\/a>\u00a0the famed Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist,\u00a0“It was a total fabrication by American intelligence that was passed along to the Germans, and aimed at discrediting your story.”<\/p>\n

The favored narrative became one that said\u00a0pro-Ukraine partisans did it in a rogue op<\/strong>. Hersh has maintained this was by design concocted in order to shield the US and Biden administration for ordering the operation.\u00a0The\u00a0Die Zeit<\/em>\u00a0report cited German officials to assert that the pipeline sabotage bombings were carried out by\u00a0six people using a yacht rented in Poland that was owned by two Ukrainians<\/strong>. In the days that followed, several Western media outlets seized on that narrative and published similar articles\u00a0reinforcing the cover story<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But now a fresh, lengthy investigative\u00a0Washington Post<\/em>\u00a0story published Monday is actually confirming many of Hersh’s conclusions. Indeed the ‘cover story’ is already fast unraveling. What’s more is that the WaPo article bluntly states Western officials are\u00a0not at all eager to talk about the Nord Stream sabotage<\/strong>, suggesting a continued cover-up in progress, or in effect a\u00a0limited hangout<\/a>. Also very telling is that Western accusations directed at Russia have long ago quieted down.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
