Jeffrey Sachs, the director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University, addressed the United Nation’s Security Council Tuesday and spoke about the need for an investigation into the attack on the Nord Stream pipelines last September.

He expressed dismay that there seems to be such little interest in European countries in finding out the culprit.

“Sweden has perhaps the most to tell the world about the [Nord Stream] crime scene, which its divers investigated. Yet instead of sharing this information globally, Sweden has kept the results of its investigation secret,” he said.

MUSK: NULAND MAJOR DANGER TO WORLD PEACE

We’ve reported on how Seymour Hersh, the Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, published an extensive report accusing the Biden administration of planning and carrying out the attack, which was originally blamed on Russia. (Hersh told The Trends Journal that essentially no media reached out to him to discuss his report.)

But the question is: Why?

The answer is likely due to the fact that the Biden administration’s top foreign policy officials were all part of the team that overthrew Victor Yanukovych, the democratically elected president of Ukraine. Sachs wrote recently that Yanukovych’s sin from the US viewpoint was his attempt to maintain Ukraine’s neutrality despite the US desire to expand Nato to include Ukraine (and Georgia). America’s objective was for Nato countries to encircle Russia in the Black Sea region. To achieve this goal, the US has been massively arming and funding Ukraine since 2014.

One year after the coup, Ukraine was racked by civil war and sunk into depression. The U.S. and EU blamed Russia for the destabilization because of its support of Ukrainian separatists in the Donbas region. And as punishment, the U.S. pushed the EU to impose trade sanctions against Russia. 

Back in December 2013, speaking in Washington D.C., Victoria Nuland, the current undersecretary of state for political affairs, boasted that Washington had invested $5 billion in non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Ukraine to “teach democracy.” 

In fact, Ukraine was already a democracy. In 2010 the people had voted for Victor Yanukovych as their president for which international observers described the election as free and fair. The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) said the voting was an “impressive display” of democracy. And João Soares, president of the OSCE’s parliamentary assembly, said. “For Everyone in Ukraine this election was a victory.” 

In reality, the NGO organizations are U.S. fifth columns that can be used to organize protests and to provide support for Washington’s candidates for the Ukraine government.

A recording was leaked of Nuland, telling Geoffrey Pyatt, the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, that the UN was on board to “help glue” the plan to replace Ukrainian President Victor Yanukovych with Arxeniy Yatsenyuk. “Yats is the guy,” Nuland informed Pyatt, urging her to move quickly because “the Russians will be working behind the scenes to torpedo” the deal.

“F#&* the EU!” Nuland told Pyatt. “Exactly,” he responded.

Shortly thereafter, Yanukovych was overthrown and “Yats” became president.

Indeed, Sach’s wrote, “The American protagonists then and now are the same. The US government’s point person on Ukraine in 2014 was Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, who today is Undersecretary of State. Back in 2014, Nuland worked closely with Jake Sullivan, president Joe Biden’s national security adviser, who played the same role for vice president Biden in 2014.”

Sullivan is a democratic operative and, in 2016, “left his relative comfort zone of national security and global affairs to work for [Hillary] Clinton as a senior policy adviser to her campaign,” Politico reported. The New York Times noted that “Sullivan is also a product of Washington’s insular foreign policy establishment, a cohort whose traditional support for muscular U.S. foreign policy interventions has fallen out of favor across the political spectrum in the aftermath of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.”

“Biden’s cabinet picks went to Ivy League schools, have strong resumes, attend all the right conferences & will be polite & orderly caretakers of America’s decline,” Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., tweeted after Biden announced his team in 2019.
