Snowden - Whatever You May Think Of Him - Makes Interesting Point About Balloon-Gate as A Distraction
|
[SummitNews] NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden
| ...grandson of a U.S. Coast Guard admiral, devoted husband and father of two who has been living in Russia since he leaked masses of classified NSA data in 2013. He compounded things by acquiring Russian citizenship last year, signed personally by President Putin, and has shared his English-language thoughts in interviews, his published memoir, and on Substack since 2021... |
says the hysteria over UFOs being shot down over America and Canada is a distraction from Seymour Hersh’s story about the U.S. being responsible for blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines.
| That may or may not be true. Mr. Hersh has a spotty record and an excitable soul... |
Over the past week, there have been at least four instances of U.S. fighter jets destroying unidentified flying objects, in one case over Alaska, an object that had no means of propulsion but was spotted flying at 40,000 feet and pilots said interfered with the sensors of their aircraft.
Yesterday, the White House denied that the objects were extraterrestrial in nature, although the glib dismissal if anything only continued to feed into speculation online that ET had paid a flying visit.
| Thinking about visitors from very far away is great fun (until one ponders why they would do so). Analyzing everything the DoD and the White House hqve done wrong in this situation — and possible second order and beyond effects is no fun at all. |
In reality, as most people have pointed out, the shootdowns are likely a show of force to save the Biden administration’s blushes from questions as to why the Chinese spy balloon was allowed to monitor America in the first place.
According to Edward Snowden, the UFO flap is also a misdirection to wipe the infinitely more awkward Seymour Hersh story from the headlines.
| There are plenty of other awkward stories in recent headlines that the administration would prefer forgotten. It needn’t just be that one. |
Snowden tweeted that the hysteria was an “engineered” bait and switch to prevent the media from covering the pipeline explosion revelations.
Last week, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh published an article in which he asserted that the pipelines were destroyed by the US as part of a covert operation.
According to Hersh’s sources, the explosives were planted in June 2022 by US Navy divers under the guise of the BALTOPS 22 NATO exercise and were detonated three months later with a remote signal sent by a sonar buoy.
One source told Hersh that the plotters knew the covert operation was an “act of war,” with some in the CIA and State Department warning, “Don’t do this. It’s stupid and will be a political nightmare if it comes out.”
In an update to the story, Hersh gave an interview with Radio War Nerd in which he slammed the mainstream media for criticizing him personally rather than investigating the story.
“It’s amazing to me how they fall in line, my colleagues,” said Hersh, referring to the New York Times and the Washington Post.
As we previously highlighted, Snowden chided the White House’s denial that it was involved in the pipeline attack by pointing out it also denied previous false flags.
“Can you think of any examples from history of a secret operation that the White House was responsible for, but strongly denied?” Snowden tweeted.
“Besides, you know, that little ‘mass surveillance’ kerfuffle,” he added.
