2023-02-17 -Short Attention Span Theater-
It's the international whodunnit that's stumped investigators across the world. Now, as a Pultizer-prize winning journalist points the finger at the CIA... Who DID blow up the Nord Stream pipeline?
  • US Journalist Seymour Hersh lays the blame of the blowing up of two underwater pipelines carrying gas from Russia to Germany squarely at the door of the CIA

  • He alleges US navy divers planted explosives on pipeline during NATO exercise

  • Three investigations by Germany, Sweden and Denmark failed to find the culprit

#1 The SBS, or Special Boat Service, if we are randomly accusing people.

#2 Wilderness of Mirrors mist forms after Hersh expose and Balloon-gate, right on schedule? It certainly feels like a media-management playbook is being followed to muddy-up any clear thread for talking heads to follow?

#5 Embrace the horror: We are The Evil Empire. Note, the US Citizen was never consulted on this development but we did let it happen. We're all dirty.

#6 /\ Read that a couple of times and you either become sad or hateful. Possibly both. No amount of flag waving or apple pie will make it go away.

#8 Given Hersh or the pipeline guy who posted ere a couple of months ago, I'll take the Burg poster - poor maintenance and operation and a sloppy restart. Did Seymour 'splain that away?

#9 Sadness. Wasn't supposed to go like this but I guess just too much money to be made in DC. But knowledge is good and on a good day, I like our chances.

#10  Not 1 of the Norwegian ships was near that area when Seymour says they were. Not that truth, reality and facts animate the USA right wing anymore.

They used to.

#11 To be fair, the battleground is irrational and the story has pieces which fit. Why I like Rantburg, plenty of caution flags, and even red flags.

And its not like Team Brandon et al have any credibility or moral high ground after the last 3 years.

#12 /\ Brainstorming is NOT dead. We see it on the Burg every day. Throw it up there (comment), talk about it, rank order it, arrive at a logical decision or conclusion. There are some great minds at work here, excluding my own addled noodle.

#14 Well said Besoeker.

If there is anything to be learned from The Covid is be care automatically believing something you want to believe.
