Seymour Hersh, the Pulitzer Prize winning journalist who wrote an in-depth article on how the Biden administration carried out the Nord Stream bombing in September, told the National Press Club in Washington, D.C, that President Biden — who spent his entire life sucking off the public’s tit — gave the approval because he thought being a wartime president would improve his chances at re-election in 2024.

“I think Biden also saw beating up Russia as a ticket. Jack Kennedy is a classic example – presidents always did well politically in wars,” Hersh said, according to ZeroHedge.

“He [Biden] did it,” Hersh said. “He did it, I’m telling you, he did it. The Biden game is to wait it out and never say yes.”

Hersh previously laughed off a New York Times report that blamed a “pro-Ukrainian group” for the bombing. Hersh laughed when asked about the paper’s report by The Trends Journal. He joked, “I always thought either Somalia or Nepal were behind it.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin also bushed aside the Times’s report.

“Who is interested? Theoretically, the United States is interested in stopping the supply of Russian energy to the European market and supplying volumes of its own,” he said, according to Al Jazeera. “Such an explosion, so powerful and at such depth, could only be conducted by experts backed by the entire potential of a state that has relevant technologies.”

Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin’s press secretary, said, “It smells like a monstrous crime. At least, the shareholder countries of the pipelines and the UN should demand an urgent transparent investigation, which would involve all parties that could shed light [on the sabotage].”

The report also noted that Russia’s embassy to the U.S. also said The Times’s article seemed like nothing more than an “attempt to confuse those who are sincerely trying to get to the bottom of things in this egregious crime.”

TRENDPOST: Hersh’s original story went into detail on how the U.S. and Norway allegedly carried out the elaborate bombing. His theory is that Biden was concerned Germany would turn back to Russia for its natural gas if there was a cold winter and restart the pipeline. The White House called Hersh’s story completely false.

The Times report cited unnamed U.S. officials who said they reviewed new intelligence about the pro-Ukraine group with no known ties to the Ukrainian government. Ukraine also denied any role in the attack.

The paper said: “The review of newly collected intelligence suggests they were opponents of President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, but does not specify the members of the group, or who directed or paid for the operation.”

Russia’s criticism of the lack of coverage after Hersh’s report followed an article by FAIR, the media watchdog group, that said there was “not a word broadcast by the major U.S. broadcast networks—NBC, ABC, CBS—or the publicly funded broadcasters PBS and NPR. No news stories on the nation’s major cable outlets, CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News.”

Nebenzia told the UN Security Council that European countries cannot be trusted to carry out a fair investigation and he wants the UN to probe the attack. He said if the perpetrators are not found and brought to justice, it could become open season on undersea infrastructure for military strikes.

Hersh noted that days after the explosion, Blinken addressed reporters and called the situation a “tremendous opportunity to once and for all remove the dependence on Russian energy” and “take away from (Putin) the weaponization of energy as a means of advancing his imperial designs.”

“There certainly are people in the American economy who like the idea of us being more competitive. We’re selling LNG, liquefied gas, at extremely big profits; we’re making a lot of money on it. I’m sure there were some people thinking, boy, this is going to be a long-time boost for the American economy. But in that White House, I think the obsession was always re-election, and they wanted to win the war, they wanted to get a victory, they want Ukraine to somehow magically win,” he said.

Putin said the attack on the Nord Stream and the response showed Europe’s subservient position in relations with the US, Al Jazeera noted.

“The Europeans have lost a gene of independence, sovereignty and national interest,” Putin said. “The more they [Americans] hit them on their noses or the top of their heads, the lower they bend and the broader they smile.”
