Reporter Seymour Hersh on "How America Took Out the Nord Stream Pipeline": Exclusive TV Interview

UPDATE: We have blurred some imagery about 30 seconds into the video in response to a content warning from KZbin that severely limited the reach of this interview. What you see now is an edited version. For the uncensored version of this interview that aired on our show, visit democracynow.org.
====
When the Nord Stream pipelines carrying natural gas from Russia to Germany were damaged last September, U.S. officials were quick to suggest Russia had bombed its own pipelines. But according to a new report by the legendary investigative journalist Seymour Hersh, it was the U.S. Navy that carried out the sabotage, with help from Norway. Citing a source "with direct knowledge of the operational planning," Hersh writes on his Substack blog that planning for the mission began in December of 2021. The White House and the Norwegian government have since denied the claims. Hersh joins us for an in-depth interview to discuss his report and says the U.S. decision to bomb the pipelines was meant to lock allies into support for Ukraine at a time when some were wavering. "The fear was Europe would walk away from the war," he says. Hersh won a Pulitzer Prize in 1970 for his reporting on the My Lai massacre. His reporting on CIA spying on antiwar activists during the Vietnam War era helped lead to the formation of the Church Committee, which led to major reforms of the intelligence community, and in 2004, he exposed the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal in Iraq.

This is the best report wrapped in a speech by Seymour Hersh. My deepest respect. I'm born 19 years after him. But he is not an old man with an aging spirit, I regret that I ever allowed myself to think along that line. This man is excellent! Nevertheless - if all that is really true - I'm not even asking for the source. America has indeed destroyed a pipeline to Europe, motivated by two major arguments: 1. the fear that Germany might giver a green light to Russia to open it again and 2. To be in control of gas deliveries to Europe - in effect to make money and cancel the cheap gas coming from Russia. That is mind blowing! Divers down 260 feet, mines placed (1 mile apart), divers up, decompression chamber, remote ignition of all mines. Make a run for it. I wonder now what is the future of NATO and can that lead to nuclear war? I am very concerned it may. Biden is now exactly in the position the he accused the Russians of. He is now in control of "weaponizing" natural gas. He has destroyed a vital pipeline for Germany and - if true - will soon offer American gas to Germany at a higher price than the Russians. It is mind blowing!

That German chacellor is an idiot as those who helped him to hold that possition.

Yes, that country of dummies is Germany. Yes, yes, I know, they can build nice cars. That’s a skill and not collective intelligence which is it already obvious they lack (three times in around 100 hundred years they have demonstrated Germany is not only a country of “superior human beings” but just the opposite… there’s no other country in the world with more dopes per square mile).

A wink and a smirk, “We have a way, trust me.” Then you quote the same mantra from the 2020 election. “ Not one shred of evidence of voter fraud has been found.” Is that all it takes to deceive you?

Look deeper into this interview. Seymour Hersh does not defend his report and shows clear pro-Russian bias. There are a lot of reasons why this benefitted Russia to have these blown up. He just doesn’t cover them because he wants Russia to win the war by his own confession in this interview. He also makes plain wrong claims like that this war is going well for Russia and that the Chancellor of Germany is from the Green party (The Chancellor of Germany is actually from SDP party). The credibility of this guy is basically zero 🤷‍♂️ “I wouldn’t even think of giving a story like this to the New York Times. They’ve decided that the Ukraine War is going to be won by Ukraine and that’s what its readers get and so be it. That’s their call.” (9:18) “The Russians.. I don’t think. I think the end is just a question of time. Right now it’s a question of how many more people Zelensky wants to kill of his own people. It’s gunna be over”. (13:33) “There’s also a continuing of hatred of all things Putin in this country… and that’s not useful.” (13:55) Interlocutor: “There are some people who are saying that this particular exposé does not have a whole lot of documentation. That it essentially relies on one source. One internal anonymous source of yours. How do you respond to those criticisms that this is much less documented than previous exposés of yours?” (18:00) “I think [this piece] is going to undercut NATO, which I always found to be supremely useless” (18:58) “As for the source question.

@Cynthia DeMario Mr Hersch has no direct proof, but he did show considerable circumstantial evidence. And who else had something to gain but the US in blowing up the pipeline?

@@oa1270 it may as well be, "somebody told me" just isn't good enough. I wouldn't be surprised if Washington did blow the pipeline, but Hersh's work here isn't really up to snuff.

The entire world could see it, but will anything be done about it? A lot of this shit is so obvious on day 1... but how long has it been since the pipeline was bombed? It's taking this long just for what seems obvious to come to light and it doesn't matter either way - military industrial complex is going to continue to military industrial complex and if anyone sees punishment for their crimes, their position will just be switched out with others willing to do the deeds necessary to manipulate the world.

[@ГалинаЮдачева]

Biden is American Osama Bin Laden, but how to bring him to justice as he is surrounded with American military? Starting war against the terrorist state as it was before with Fascist Germany is not feasible. On the other hand Senate and other legislations are not going to do anything to remove that criminal from power. Only American military can remove this shame from the country if they remove by force the guy who has brought that shame on the country.
