Blowing Holes in Seymour Hersh's Pipe Dream

[OSINT & Analysis by Oliver Alexander] I would like to preface this post by stating that I will not be making any conclusions on who is responsible for the Nord Stream pipeline explosions in this piece. While I have my suspects, all publicly available information regarding the explosions is circumstantial and there is none that conclusively points to a specific culprit. The purpose of this post is to debunk the claims made in Seymour Hersh’s Substack post titled "How America Took Out The Nord Stream Pipeline" using publicly available information.

In regards to Seymour Hersh’s past, both his time as a Pulitzer Price winning journalist in the 1970s and his recent factually incorrect takes on the Syria gas attacks and Skripal poisoning, I will let people like Eliot Higgins who worked on these cases give their opinion. This post will solely focus on the claims made in the recent Substack post.

#1 I read some his rubbish in the Korean Air Lines Flight 007 and The Samson Option

#2 Remember when the left rejected the FBI and CIA and embraced Hersh?

Good times...

Biden and Victoria Nuland statements were convincing enough for me.

#4 I am not hearing credible denials. The action seems to hurt Germany more than Russia in the short term. It also looks like a great way to encourage actors to target our infrastructure in a different situation where infiltrating teams over our border would not have been made so difficult.

I prefer to wait before deciding that it was more than bad luck and/or sloppy maintenance.

#6 I originally thought it was poor maintenance. I thought that no rational entity would risk nuclear war over the pipeline. I now believe that I was sort of right.

#7 Weren't there some engineers who thought it was not sabotoogee at all and that the explosion came from the inside of the pipeline?
