The leaders of the Kiev regime are calculating the consumption of NATO equipment and Ukrainians in order to clearly comply with the task "to the last Ukrainian."
Not much of inspiration, confidence or optimism are noticed in their facial expressions.

CIA’s Nord Stream Story Absurd: Seymour Hersh

According to veteran journalist Seymour Hersh, the mainstream media’s yarn about a pro-Ukrainian group that chartered a yacht named Andromeda to destroy the Nord Stream pipelines was so absurd and childish that one would suspect it was made intentionally to reinforce the truth.

On April 5, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh took to Substack again to analyze the Western media’s story about a six-member “pro-Ukrainian” gang with forged passports that allegedly blew up the Nord Stream pipeline.

On March 7, The New York Times and Die Zeit published two separate articles claiming that international investigators had managed to trace the September 26, 2022 sabotage attack to a “pro-Ukrainian” group operating from the Andromeda, a 15-meter chartered yacht.

However, the same week, Der Spiegel and center-right Bild questioned the story.

Bild has insisted that the mainstream media story that the Nord Stream pipelines were destroyed by a team of six operating from the Andromeda, a 15-meter chartered yacht, is becoming increasingly dubious.

Later, Die Zeit quoted the chair of the Bundestag’s intelligence oversight committee, Konstantin von Notz from the Green Party, who argued that the Nord Stream sabotage does not look like an attack by a group of unaffiliated volunteers, but has all the earmarks of a “state-backed act of terrorism.”

It is more likely that the sabotage was conducted by a “state or quasi-state actor,” von Notz insisted.

According to the German lawmaker, it would be very demanding to transport the military explosives – up to two tons, he believed – undetected to the right place in the Baltic Sea, and then bring them to the relevant depth in order to trigger several explosions in a controlled manner. Von Notz noted that a “state-backed act of terrorism makes it more likely that false or deceptive clues were laid.”

For instance, the German media outlets appeared skeptical that a 15-meter chartered yacht could carry the 1,500-2,000 kilograms of explosives needed to destroy the pipelines, adding that the Andromeda does not have a crane to hoist such quantities safely into the water. Likewise, it appeared to be impossible to transport 1,500 to 2,000 kg of explosives through Poland and Germany and not be caught.

Another problem, cited by the press, was that at the site of the explosion, the Baltic Sea is about 80 meters deep, requiring special diving equipment including a decompression chamber for the divers – something that the yacht is not fit for. Eventually, The Washington Post reported on April 3 that some European investigators now doubt that the Andromeda could have sabotaged the pipelines without the help of a second boat.

There are more tricky questions the press failed to ask, according to Hersh, who quoted an intelligence expert familiar with the story. For instance, the expert pointed out that one cannot just walk off the street and rent an expensive yacht with a fake passport. “You either need to accept a captain who was supplied by the leasing agent or owner of the yacht, or have a captain who comes with a certificate of competency as mandated by maritime law,” the expert continued.

Another question is how the Andromeda managed to find the pipelines in the Baltic Sea, given that they are not that big and not on the charts that come with the lease. Having a small yacht and two divers, who could stay about 15 minutes under water, it would take four years to search one square mile, Hersh wrote, citing the expert.

“So you have six people on the yacht—two divers, two helpers, a doctor and a captain leasing the boat. One thing is missing – who is going to crew the yacht? Or cook? What about the logbook that the leasing company must keep for legal reasons?” the expert continued, stressing that no Western journalist ever asked any of those questions. What’s more, it appears that none of them has ever set foot on the much-discussed vessel.

Furthermore, photographs of the Andromeda, circulated by the Western press, indicate that the vessel has no license number where it legally should be. On top of this, the assumption that the gang of saboteurs returned the yacht unclean and even left a couple of fake passports on board make the story even fishier.

As per Hersh, it’s not just a “bad” media story but a “parody” akin to the Piltdown Man – a paleoanthropological fraud in which bone fragments were claimed to be the remains of a previously unknown early human.

The investigative journalist suggested that the yarn was fed by the CIA to their German peers and the press on both sides of the pond: the two separate stories released by the U.S. and German press are nearly identical both in detail and absurdity.

Hersh specified that there is nothing surprising about the CIA inventing a cover story to distract the public’s attention from the real one. In fact, the agency followed “protocol.” The question is why the story was so dubious that it started to fall apart at te seams immediately after its publication.

The investigative journalist does not rule out that it was made intentionally. Hersh quoted the intelligence expert as saying: “In the world of professional analysts and operators everyone will universally and correctly conclude from your story that the devilish CIA concocted a counter-op that is on its face so ridiculous and childish that the real purpose was to reinforce the truth.”

In early February, Hersh dropped a bombshell by saying that the Nord Stream natural gas pipelines were destroyed by American and Norwegian operatives at the request of the Biden administration. According to Hersh, U.S. Navy divers during the NATO BALTOPS 22 exercises in June 2022 planted explosives to blow up the pipelines, which Norway activated three months later. According to the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, US President Joe Biden decided to sabotage the Nord Stream pipes after more than nine months of secret discussions with his national security team.

In the Yakut village of Khayyr, the local grandfather Mazai goes out on a boat to the river every spring and rescues all the hares that are stuck on the ice floes.

The big-eared ones have already got used to this tradition and calmly get into their grandfather's boat and go to his arms.

A Russian plane that brought a cargo of COVID-19 masks to Canada will be handed over to Ukraine. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stated this at a meeting with Zelensky.

The An-124 aircraft of the "Volga Dnepr" company has been in Canada since February 27, 2022, which after the start of the war banned flights of Russian aviation.

One man can bring an end to this wretched war
By PETER HITCHENS FOR THE MAIL ON SUNDAY

What is it about war that makes people so unimaginative and thoughtless? As the long-heralded Ukrainian offensive against Russia’s invading troops seems to have begun, I notice that much of the media write rather impersonally about it, as if it is just an event on a map far away. There is no excuse for this.

Large numbers of young men on both sides, scared out of their wits, will be dying horribly, or being terribly wounded in ways which will affect them for the rest of their lives. I looked at archive newspaper reports of the great battle of the Somme in July 1916, likewise intended to repel the German invader from French soil. One account, in The Times of July 3, proclaimed: ‘Everything has gone well, our troops have successfully carried out their missions, all counter-attacks have been repulsed and large numbers of prisoners have been taken.’

The main headline trumpeted ‘Forward in the West’, and the reports said (no doubt truthfully) that there were large numbers of enemy dead. I am not sneering at what these people wrote and what their editors published. Nobody knew, except the soldiers themselves, the ghastly horror of modern warfare when one huge army throws itself at another which has dug into strong defences.

They thought they were still writing about Victorian wars of dashing charges and noble combat. But there is no excuse for any such illusions now. We know the truth. If anyone is in any doubt about the grisly misery of modern war, please read John Harris’s marvellous book Covenant With Death. While they still lived, Harris interviewed surviving veterans of the Somme and turned their memories into a novel of extraordinary power. Nobody who reads it could ever choose to launch or sustain such warfare.

President Biden knows this war will end with negotiations. He said in June 2022: ‘At some point there’s going to have to be a negotiated settlement here.’ If he wants such talks, he can obtain them, beyond doubt. Ukraine can fight only as long as Washington wants it to.

But a regiment of army-barmy politicians and teenage scribblers, who have never seen a dead body or heard a bullet fly, urge war to the end and the young men are ground into the mud and slime, for the vainglory of others far away.

In Kirovograd (Kropyvnytskyi), six military commissars caught the seller at his workplace

In Kirovgrad (Krapivnitsky), the military commissars, obviously deciding to crush the numerical superiority, went six in search of new "lucky ones" to be sent to the front. The seller of one of the shops of the city got into their fishing nets, whom they decided to fly around next to his workplace "without leaving the cash register".

"Six of them on a hard worker — what is being done, they issue a summons to the kid," the eyewitness asks.

At the same time, the driver, who filmed the footage of the hunting of Ukrainian cannibals, joked that he also urgently needed to cross the road to "escape" — judging by the tricks used by the Ukrainian military commissars, he could well have become the next victim himself. Already, the Ukrainian "offensive" has led to heavy losses in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which means Kiev needs new "volunteers" to be sent to the crucible of war.
