How America Took Out The Nord Stream Pipeline
The New York Times called it a “mystery,” but the United States executed a covert sea operation that was kept secret—until now
Seymour Hersh
The U.S. Navy’s Diving and Salvage Center can be found in a location as obscure as its name—down what was once a country lane in rural Panama City, a now-booming resort city in the southwestern panhandle of Florida, 70 miles south of the Alabama border. The center’s complex is as nondescript as its location—a drab concrete post-World War II structure that has the look of a vocational high school on the west side of Chicago. A coin-operated laundromat and a dance school are across what is now a four-lane road.
The center has been training highly skilled deep-water divers for decades who, once assigned to American military units worldwide, are capable of technical diving to do the good—using C4 explosives to clear harbors and beaches of debris and unexploded ordinance—as well as the bad, like blowing up foreign oil rigs, fouling intake valves for undersea power plants, destroying locks on crucial shipping canals. The Panama City center, which boasts the second largest indoor pool in America, was the perfect place to recruit the best, and most taciturn, graduates of the diving school who successfully did last summer what they had been authorized to do 260 feet under the surface of the Baltic Sea.
Last June, the Navy divers, operating under the cover of a widely publicized mid-summer NATO exercise known as BALTOPS 22, planted the remotely triggered explosives that, three months later, destroyed three of the four Nord Stream pipelines, according to a source with direct knowledge of the operational planning.
Two of the pipelines, which were known collectively as Nord Stream 1, had been providing Germany and much of Western Europe with cheap Russian natural gas for more than a decade. A second pair of pipelines, called Nord Stream 2, had been built but were not yet operational. Now, with Russian troops massing on the Ukrainian border and the bloodiest war in Europe since 1945 looming, President Joseph Biden saw the pipelines as a vehicle for Vladimir Putin to weaponize natural gas for his political and territorial ambitions.
Asked for comment, Adrienne Watson, a White House spokesperson, said in an email, “This is false and complete fiction.” Tammy Thorp, a spokesperson for the Central Intelligence Agency, similarly wrote: “This claim is completely and utterly false.”
Biden’s decision to sabotage the pipelines came after more than nine months of highly secret back and forth debate inside Washington’s national security community about how to best achieve that goal. For much of that time, the issue was not whether to do the mission, but how to get it done with no overt clue as to who was responsible.
There was a vital bureaucratic reason for relying on the graduates of the center’s hardcore diving school in Panama City. The divers were Navy only, and not members of America’s Special Operations Command, whose covert operations must be reported to Congress and briefed in advance to the Senate and House leadership—the so-called Gang of Eight. The Biden Administration was doing everything possible to avoid leaks as the planning took place late in 2021 and into the first months of 2022.
President Biden and his foreign policy team—National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, Secretary of State Tony Blinken, and Victoria Nuland, the Undersecretary of State for Policy—had been vocal and consistent in their hostility to the two pipelines, which ran side by side for 750 miles under the Baltic Sea from two different ports in northeastern Russia near the Estonian border, passing close to the Danish island of Bornholm before ending in northern Germany.
The direct route, which bypassed any need to transit Ukraine, had been a boon for the German economy, which enjoyed an abundance of cheap Russian natural gas—enough to run its factories and heat its homes while enabling German distributors to sell excess gas, at a profit, throughout Western Europe. Action that could be traced to the administration would violate US promises to minimize direct conflict with Russia. Secrecy was essential.
America’s political fears were real: …

Minister impeached for first time in country’s history
The South Korean parliament has pinned the blame for a crowd crush that killed 159 people on a key ally of President Yoon Suk-yeol
South Korea’s interior and safety minister, Lee Sang-min, has become the first cabinet official in the country’s history to be impeached, losing his job at least temporarily after the National Assembly on Wednesday voted to hold him responsible for the government’s handling of a crowd crush that left 159 people dead last October.
The impeachment was approved by a 179-109 vote as the opposition-controlled legislature blamed Lee for alleged failures in disaster planning and response to the tragic Halloween stampede in Seoul’s Itaewon entertainment district. As a result, he will be suspended from his duties until South Korea’s Constitutional Court rules on whether to uphold the impeachment or give him back his job.
“It is very regrettable to cause concern to people due to the passage of an impeachment motion against me,” Lee said in a statement. “I hope the state of vacuum in public safety, which would be brought about by this unprecedented incident, would be minimized.”He will be replaced by Vice Minister Han Chang-seob until the court makes its ruling, which is due to be issued within 180 days.
The crowd crush occurred on October 29 as thousands of people jammed into the narrow alleyways of Itaewon’s popular nightlife areato celebrate Halloween for the first time since such gatherings were barred under Covid-19 restrictions. A police investigation, released last month, found that local officials failed to employ proper crowd control measures and that a botched response contributed to the high number of casualties.
President Yoon Suk-yeol denounced the National Assembly for impeaching Lee, saying the decision “will go down in parliamentary history as a shame.” The opposition Democratic Party (DP) said lawmakers carried out the “people’s order” by impeaching the interior minister. “The National Assembly held Lee to account on behalf of President Yoon Suk-yeol because he refused to take responsibility,” DP spokesman Oh Yeong-hwan said.
South Korean lawmakers have twice impeached presidents – Roh Moo-hyun in 2004 and Park Geun-hye in 2016. The Constitutional Court rejected Roh’s impeachment and approved the ouster of Park, who was later convicted of bribery and abuse of power.
As in the Itaewon case, public anger against high officials was sparked by the handling of a tragedy. In 2014, the triggering event was the sinking of the Sewol ferry, which killed 299 people. Most of the victims were high school students who were on a field trip.
(This story sounds very strange, is there a lot of satanists in SK. Something doesn’t feel right, like that concert in the US that kids were dropping dead!)

I think the numbers of that post answered my question of Satanism! Very weird!
You mean the future grandson ofNapoleon? Yeah, I’m sure he’s right.
Question:why didn’t that freakin millionaire get his teeth fixed?Surely he had to notice, even his mother, I mean wife knew it was odd.
This is funny, Victor Davis Hanson “Trump did something to him”, talking about Pierre DelecticoVDH is very perplexed how all these people are broken by Trump. He said this a couple of times. He’s not blaming Trump, its just strange when Trump supports them, they turn in Trump, like Sarah Huckabee last night. VDH likes and supports Trump, I think victor has a very dry personality and sense of humor.
Great interview with Victor Davis Hanson and Devin Nunes.

This is so funny. VDH says its like Trump has a wrecking yard behind Mar A Lago, with Romney, Kinzinger, Cheney and others in the wrecking yard.
He says Gosh, there’s so many of these people that seemed to benormal in the Trump Wrecking Yard
