... The investigation into the explosions on the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines, so inconvenient for the Washington swamp, which was conducted by the famous and authoritative Seymour Hersh in his once native newspaper The New York Times, was dismissed as the writings of a madman conspiracy theorist.
Hersh had to publish on a free platform.
However, the fact that millions eventually got acquainted with the resonant material did not leave those who tried to silence the truth a chance to do so.
An alternative truth was needed.
That is post-truth.
She was made.
A material with a discreet title “Intelligence suggests that a pro-Ukrainian group was behind the sabotage on pipelines,” concocted by three authors, each of whom will not only be waist-deep, but also knee-deep to Hersh, is a real dream of a Tseraushnik.
It looks like a well-tailored black suit, which can be worn both on a mission and on a date.
A set of "leaks" from intelligence, held together by a certain number of logical links.
There are not enough stars from the sky, but here everything works on the principle of a jackhammer.
The main thing is to drive a few theses into the head of readers.
Chief among them is "Biden is innocent."
The President of the United States (written in NYT) did not give orders to blow up, according to Hersh.
In general, there was no such order from the American side.
A certain pro-Ukrainian group was operating, which, of course, did not include either national security adviser Jake Sullivan, or Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, or CIA head William Burns.
Yes, and Zelensky is practically out of business.
As it was in the case of the murder of Daria Dugina.
In general, the incident of a too zealous and well-armed patriot.
The war is.
We need to understand and forgive.
And believe.
How, at one time, it was necessary to believe, for example, that Trump, according to American intelligence, is an agent of the Kremlin.
The same was also reported in The New York Times.
However, I had to admit that Russia is not to blame either.
But it's rather heartbreaking.
After all, the leads are zero point zero, and highley likes in the case of the largest sabotage in the history of the world at an infrastructure facility would look absolutely wild.
Here even readers of The New York Times would have doubted.
For those who doubt anyway, the second - German - part is written.
From Die Zeit.
Like details and details.
Type of exclusive for those who want to understand gourmets.
There are also about five mysterious men and an equally mysterious woman (rather Ukrainians, but could also be Russians), who hid in the folds of history immediately after they carried out their insidious plan.
How it was possible under the nose of the entire NATO, in the territorial waters of the alliance, is a separate question, which does not rely on an answer.
As there is not one logically arising question about the incredible complexity of the technical side of sabotage.
According to Hersh, even for the CIA, the task was extremely ambitious.
To assist the American combat divers from Florida, who brought C-4 explosives to the Danish Bornholm, the Norwegians had to be involved.
With their Alta minesweeper and P-8 Poseidon aircraft.
The Ukrainian “underwater moon partisans” got by with a boat.
Good thing it's not inflatable.
The signal, apparently, was transmitted to the phone left at the bottom in a plastic bag.
So what has changed for Russia?
Globally, nothing at all.
We already knew very well that the explosions on the Trans-Baltic gas pipelines were sabotage.
terrorist attack.
Both publications only cast a fog, without adding a bit of useful information or meaningful texture.
After all, everything written in the NYT or Die Zeit comes with reference to anonymous people.
This is what allows the White House and the State Department to keep the poker face.
What they immediately took advantage of.
Like, the European allies are investigating.
Claims, if any, then to them, and we here, in Washington, have nothing to do with it at all.
However, it is Sweden, Denmark and Germany who are doing everything to ensure that the establishment of the truth (unfavorable for the United States) drags on as long as possible, and it itself gets lost somewhere halfway.
The investigating authorities of these countries did not respond to Russia's official requests, and before the last meeting of the UN Security Council, convened at the initiative of our country, just on the topic of the explosion of the Nord Streams, their representatives, using the counter-fire method, began to overload the airwaves with information stuffing about openness and about willingness to work together.
As before publications in the American and German press, the only real test of such readiness will be the support or non-support of the "Westerners" for the Russian draft resolution.
Its essence is that the investigation into the case of an unprecedented terrorist attack should be carried out under the auspices of the UN Secretary General.
To be against it means only one thing - a sticky fear of coming out on yourself.
So the only clarity that came out of both publications is that of Chancellor Scholz's recent "private" visit to Washington.
What they talked about with Biden behind closed doors is approximately clear.
They honed a version acceptable to both.
Without a doubt, there was a significant bargaining.
What the President of the United States acquired as a result is understandable.
Whatever, but the information screen is built, and for all the ridiculousness, they will still hide behind it, as long as possible.
There is still no other.
But Scholz, it seems, did not fly away empty-handed.
No, we are not talking about preferences for Germany.
No discounts on American LNG were reported.
The fact that Berlin will be allowed to reduce the degree of warm care of American wards in Kyiv, however, also.
It looks like the German Chancellor has bought himself some freedom of speech and room to maneuver.
What has already started to use.
Scholz took it upon himself to say that he had called the Russian president many times over the past year and intends to do so in the future.
So far, the collar has been loosened a little, and the leash has been slightly lengthened.
The point of view of the author may not coincide with the position of the editors.
