Reporters at several German, US, Danish and Norwegian
media outlets have been busy throughout 2023 with the “most confusing spy
thriller of our time” on the alleged Ukrainian sabotage commando operation from the
sailing yacht “Andromeda” which resulted in the sabotage of the Nordstream pipeline. According to a Ukrainian ex-secret service
agent, the newshounds followed a trail laid by America's Central; Intelligence Agency (CIA).
.
German news junkies certainly remember the reports about a
suspected sabotage squad of Ukrainian commandos that traveled on the sailing
yacht “Andromeda” in September 2022 to blow up the two gas
pipelines on the bottom of the Baltic Sea. Reports about the search for
those involved have almost developed into a genre of their own. Der
Spiegel is b to haveelieved used almost 20 of its employees for a report .A
The disinformation campaign about the attack on Nord Stream was planned.
Dozens of journalists from at least seven countries were involved in
“processing” the Ukrainian trail in the Nord Stream blast. The articles also appear to have been published in a coordinated manner by all the news organisations involved:
Süddeutsche, Spiegel, NDR, WDR and the others - in portions in March,
May, July, August and September. The campaign, which began with the
articles in Die Zeit, Tagesschau and the New York Times on March 7,
2023, came to an abrupt end on November 8 with the Spiegel report about
the alleged commander of the sabotage group. The leader (or fall guy,) was a secret service agent named Roman Chervinsky, who had already been in
Ukrainian custody for several weeks at that moment for another offense.
After this report, there was suddenly calm about the “most confusing spy thriller of our time” – that’s how the reporters always described their “investigation”. Was it all just a big deception? Or are the investigators following leads deliberately laid by others - a so-called 'false flag operation'?
If the investigators only follow the clues given to them by the most powerful secret service in the world, of course the only conclusion that can come out of it is the one the spy agency wants people to accept. Since a publication by investigative journalist Seymour Hersh on March 22, 2023 - a good two weeks after the first publications in the German and US media on March 7 - about a yacht loaded with explosives, it has been known what was actually going on with the Ukrainian one has a trace on it.
Hersh recalled that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz visited the United States in early March and had an 80-minute meeting with President Joe Biden, most of which was not even attended by their advisers. There was no official statement at the end of the conversation, but according to a source with access to secret diplomatic documents, it was about "exposing the issue of gas pipelines."
Hersh stated (RT DE reported) that after the meeting between the two statesmen, CIA employees were instructed to prepare a diversionary maneuver together with a German secret service. This consisted of providing the US and German press with an alternative version of the Nord Stream explosion. The journalist pointed out that Biden made a foolish decision about sabotage and was now forced to lie about it.
So as this blog reported at the time, all the available evidence points to the US Deep State having organised the sabotage operation which benefitted the USA economically and politically.
But the alternative version was not a “total fabrication of U.S. intelligence,” as Hersh wrote at the time. It was a long-prepared hidden card in the long, orchestrated CIA game with the world public. In the end it was definitely an invention, but the Ukrainian "sabotage group" that was supposed to imitate the attack was real and the leads that European journalists followed in their extensive research over many months have US specialists in deception operations were deliberately placed by operatives linked to government agencies.
