American journalist: US Navy divers planted explosives under Nord Stream

Explosions on the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines were organized by the United States. So says the well-known American journalist Seymour Hersh, who conducted his own investigation of the sabotage.

The journalist, known for his publications on US crimes in Vietnam and during the wars in the Middle East, was able to obtain information about the sabotage from an unnamed source who was directly involved in the preparation of the operation.



According to Hersh, the explosives under Nord Stream were planted by US Navy divers under the cover of NATO naval exercises. The Norwegian military activated the explosives when they received the appropriate order.

As the journalist emphasizes, the decision to undermine the Nord Streams was agreed and approved personally by US President Joe Biden. For more than nine months, the head of the White House discussed this issue with his inner circle, after which he nevertheless gave the green light to carry out sabotage.

Hersh believes that the key issue during the months-long discussions by Biden and his associates of the sabotage was the concealment of possible evidence of sabotage. Naturally, now the US administration and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) deny involvement in the blowing up of gas pipelines.

Interestingly, soon after the sabotage, the discussion of the explosions at Nord Stream disappeared from the agenda of interaction between Western leaders, and the number of discussions of this issue in the media space of the United States and Europe also sharply decreased.

    Here, either mattress covers ... or shavers, there can be no other way ... Losharik needs to be prepared to cut off the communication lines between Europe and the United States at a depth (two km or more) as an answer

      Did anyone doubt that it is the United States that is doing sabotage around the world, including overthrowing governments, sponsoring terrorism, and now carrying out terrorist attacks!
      There must be an answer!

      It was immediately clear to everyone (well, or almost everyone) who was behind the explosions at SP-1 and SP-2, but without written confirmation and material evidence, the Anglo-Saxons can easily wash off any accusation.

      The purpose of the sabotage is to eliminate a competitor in the gas market. Communication is also possible via satellites, the response is to blow up gas carriers hi

        But did they catch all the sea mines of the times of World War II? lol it’s even strange that so far not a single gas carrier has come across .... Yes, and the latest dill have dispersed throughout the Atlantic lol

      Norwegians benefited the most. They have a motive: it was they who received a virtual monopoly on gas supplies to Europe. There is an opportunity: the level of training of submariners in Norway is the highest in the world. There are funds, they have the best civilian bathyscaphe fleet. And few people will think about them, but this is like an alibi ...

        The gas fields of Norway have sunk heavily, and therefore they will not be able to increase the production of gas in an amount equal to the Russian one that fell out for any reason. But for mattresses, after the spot prices jumped up, it became incredibly profitable for European companies to extract and sell their shale gas.

      Given that the United States is the main beneficiary of Europe's deprivation of cheap energy from Russia, the "either brit" option can only be accepted as probable accomplices. The main entertainers of sabotage are definitely mattresses. Don't go to grandma...

      it is necessary to prepare Losharik for cutting communication lines
      Losharik, like a pioneer, is always ready, but a spoon for dinner is expensive. I don’t understand xpena in communication lines, so I would appoint a cutoff of the main and spare ones right away at a critical moment when the enemy needs communication most of all.

    The genius of Americans is that they never make simple and stupid mistakes. They make very complex stupid mistakes that make everyone rack their brains and look for an elusive meaning in them.

    We must not forget to pay off the Americans. An aircraft carrier, at least in a similar way, to sink under the guise of some kind of rebels. Well, or at least a couple of transatlantic cables go quietly, and even with American explosives, so that there is no evidence that ours were operating. And then we will say smartly that it's not us. These are some extremists who blew up the northern stream.

    It is doubtful ...
    Biden is not a particularly decisive president. Such a decision will certainly "leak" outward.
    Rather, sabotage is English. Their special forces are not as closely subordinated to politicians as they are in the US. The British special forces have much more untied hands.
    In addition, the British have extensive experience in underwater and coastal sabotage since the 2nd World War.

      The people behind Bidon don't need a resolute president. A can is just a screen, in the shadow of which financial tycoons do their business. But to push through their interests and be responsible for all the jambs, just such an aged Can is needed, who, if necessary, can die of old age on any night, taking with him all the secrets.

      In fact, they even lost a diver during these exercises, and the fact that they "take down" him simply spoke in plain text and verbatim.

    Looks like a deliberate leak. Like, look everyone - we (USA) are doing what we think is necessary, and nothing will happen to us for this! So who are you with?
    “The former national security adviser to the President of the United States admitted that the American authorities were behind the riots in Belarus.” - seems to be from the same area.

    As they call it obtuse - Captain obvious. And then we didn't know.
    It's just annoying how long we harness. I understand that everything is complicated, but how you want to walk on these self-satisfied, arrogant, grinning, stupid mugs with your boots. I am sure that we will walk and not only with a boot. It reassures that they do not understand that they have already begged for a long time, that we are simply already aiming.

    Explosions at Nord Stream 2 were preceded by a series of mysterious fires at the largest US LNG and Petroleum plants. The network indicates at least 18 destroyed objects. Presumably attacked by the TRITON / TRISIS cyber program. FireEye experts have published a report on the Triton malware, which is designed to attack industrial control systems and key infrastructure facilities. The researchers write that Triton has already been used for actual attacks, but do not disclose the name of the affected organization and the country where it is based. At the same time, analysts are convinced that well-funded "government hackers" with all the necessary resources to carry out such attacks are behind the creation of Triton.

    Triton is used to attack Schneider Electric's Triconex Safety Instrumented System (SIS) controllers. These solutions are needed to monitor various processes in factories, enterprises, and so on, and safely restore or shut down equipment in the event of any failures and potentially dangerous situations. According to FireEye, Triton masquerades as legitimate Triconex SIS software designed for workers stations running Windows, and uses the proprietary TriStation protocol. The researchers note that TriStation is not publicly documented, that is, the malware developers have done a lot of work on reverse engineering.

    If the malware detects SIS configuration files on the infected machine, it tries to apply a series of payloads and reprogram the controllers. As a result, Triton either stops the entire production process altogether or forces the equipment to work in an unsafe state, which can lead to physical damage (both to the equipment and to people working with it). FireEye has published a detailed report on the study of the Triton malware (it Trisis), which attacked critical infrastructure, according to the New York Times, including a Saudi petrochemical facility owned by Tasnee. In the report, FireEye researchers conclude that the malware is somehow connected to Russia and the Federal State Unitary Enterprise Central Research Institute of Chemistry and Mechanics (TsNIIKhM). Chemistry and Mechanics has something to do with the hacker group TEMP.Veles. It is this group, according to FireEye, that is behind the creation of Triton, and a number of its other tools (also involved in the attacks) have been traced back to the Russian research institute.

    Well, we found out what the Americans did and what? Well, let's express another concern, draw new red lines, there will be no answer, they are partners)
