Former Pentagon advisor on why he believes Seymour Hersh's Nord Stream claims are valid

Hear from a former advisor to the Pentagon, Theodore Postol, on how he became convinced of the validity of a story from an anonymous U.S. government source that became the basis for the article “How America Took Out The Nord Stream Pipeline” by the American investigative Seymour Hersh.
Hersh approached Postol, now a professor emeritus of Science, Technology, and International Security at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, while putting together the comprehensive article that claims that U.S. Navy divers were responsible for the deep sea planting of remotely triggered explosives that destroyed three of the four Nord Stream pipelines.
The article has remained largely unacknowledged by major U.S. media and the American government since it went up on Substack in February.

Irritating how The US 🇺🇲 does whatever illegal activities it feels like - with little, or no consequences to face at all. Zero accountability!!

A very intelligent man, I remember his critique of the Patriot missiles. Great interview-

The NYT article read like a James Bond script from a 9yr old. "The yacht was rented by six people, a captain, two divers, two diver assistants and a female doctor. Their nationalities were unknown." 🤔😶🙄😬

James Bond series are all for 9 year old as kid I liked it and would watch it whenever it was on. I couldn't be bothered today even switch the telly on. First it would be probably some reality show of people arguing, ton of adverts and propaganda lies aka News.

My uncle is a professional diver, he currently works for a company that deals with underwater works. Before that, he worked in the army as an underwater saboteur, and later as an instructor of underwater military divers. The NYT article is for children who have never seen professional diving equipment as well as for those who have never known the problems divers have to face at these depths. At depths of 90 m (the pipeline is located at that depth), 2 divers are not enough, a third one is even needed who stands in reserve at a certain depth in case something happens, so that he can immediately come to the rescue. My uncle, as the third diver, saved a colleague in the army who had seasickness at a depth of 70 m. A colleague who was diving with that diver raised the alarm on the surface, he immediately dived down and they managed to pull him out. The diver who was pulled out was completely medically examined and after that he spent some time in a barometric chamber for recovery. They saved his life. The divers who are capable of doing the job of blowing up an object at that depth are not just ordinary divers who snorkel to catch fish, they are professional divers with experience who have a professional team on the surface as well as professional equipment. Diving is not a game if you are not an idiot to believe the story about some amateurs who blew up the pipeline from the boat they rented and then went for a swim in the sea.

we dont know where they're from, who they work for, but we do know they were NOT british, they were NOT american, and they hate putin, and love zelensky. the hot female doctor loves jazz, the captain is a rollerblader and a capricorn, but we have no idea about them at all ;)

[@monaliza3334]

Because they are 9 years old stuck in adult bodies. American government is very gullible.

[@gilberttessier1871]

torekun...but they found their passports on the boat...🤣😂🤣🤣😂

[@gloriagloria5377]

Isn't it time to set up an international enquiry and persecute the wrongdoers?

[@paulyeo5407]

Investigation was already blocked by UNSC. Lol, justice is truly blind

[@robvannNS]

Wow.. this is a slam dunk.

[@TurdF3rguson]

The NYT did actually mention Seymour Hersh's article, but only in a brief paragraph. They also only mentioned that he cited the statements of Biden and other US officials, and decided it wasn't worth even mentioning that Hersh's story was highly detailed and attributed to a knowledgeable source in Washington.

[@Vladviking]

And they had to do this dive FOUR times since in actuality there are FOUR pipelines. Hardly a farce on a yacht.

[@victoratamanov647]

If they woulld be minimum smart, they would be worried, but it doesnt apply to UE politicians.

[@xrc5540]

Will Australian Labour listen to his advice?

[@RetiredInThailand]

Not really mentioned in this video, was the main criticism of Hersh's story from 'open source' investigators was that the ships and aircraft mentioned where not in the area on those dates according to publicly available locator tracking information ... while the explanation as to how the 6 tourists in a sail boat were able to operate in that area undetected was that they turned off their location tracking equipment!!!!???

I have been UDT/SWQI, not about me! Your content is delicate.

[@Jack-mw9lw]

ted postol is a great american patriot

[@jimroth2493]

Every normal, intelligent enough person beleives S.Hersh article. Of course!

So basically not two Ukrainians, jumping off the back of a yacht.
