Nord Stream 2 bombing and Zelenskys "three men and a boat" story by Martin Jay!

Joe Biden needs to clean up his backyard to help Kamala Harris get elected and in Ukraine there is quite a bit of tidying up which needs doing

Nord Stream 2 bombing is in the headlines again, with a recent report which appears to come from Kiev claiming that it was the Ukrainians all along who were behind it. The claims, which have been denied by Zelensky naturally, are preposterous as they are ill-timed. But what is really behind this latest fake news story?

In a nutshell, Joe Biden needs to clean up his backyard to help Kamala Harris get elected and in Ukraine there is quite a bit of tidying up which needs doing - not only for Ukraine itself to sustain relations with a new administration in Washington,D.C. but also for the United States of Americas relations with Germany and the EU.

And so a fable has been invented which both tidies up any loose ends between Washington,D.C. and Germany - as the United States bombing the pipelines creates unease and tensions between the Biden administration and that of Scholzs - as well as helping the Ukrainians and Harris.

The whole Nord Steam2 pipeline bombing which happened in September 2022, a few months after the Russian invasion, is a clever web of lies crafted by the United States of Americans, when all along it was United States special forces with the help of the Norwegians who planted the devices in June of the same year, three months before they were finally detonated.

Initially, it was very suspicious at the speed of how Russia was blamed.

"Everything is pointing to Russia," blared a POLITICO headline two days after the explosions. Quoted in the piece were a number of foreign commentators including a top German spymaster arguing that only Russia had the means and motives to do it. There is no elaboration however on motive given that it was Russias gas supply deal to Germany which was being abruptly halted.

Remarkably, a lie moves so quickly while the truth is still putting its shoes on. Within days, respectable leading analysts were also pointing the finger at Russia without a trace of evidence to support their ludicrous claims.

"We still do not know 100 percent that Russia was responsible," said Olga Khakova, deputy director for European energy security at the Atlantic Council. "But everything is pointing to Russia being behind this." United States Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm told BBC on Sept. 30 that it "seems" Russia was behind the sabotage.

Most western journalists followed the narrative put out by the Americans and chose just simply to not look at it too closely or too sceptically. If any had, they might have simply asked who are the winners and losers?

They would have only needed to look at the gas market in the following weeks and to see that the United States firms had new clients in Europe who were paying three times the normal price. That should have been a clue.

Secondly, the geopolitics and Germany. Biden made it very clear just two weeks before the Ukraine war started when the German chancellor visited the Oval Office in February 2022, what Biden was planning on doing both about the pipelines and Germany itself whose leader Scholz was very reluctant to go to war with Ukraine.

"If Russia invades - that means tanks and troops crossing . . . the border of Ukraine again," Biden said, "there will no longer be a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it."

When asked how he could do so as the pipeline was under Germanys control, the United States president spelled it out" "We will, I promise you, we will be able to do it."

Six months later, when the pipelines blew up, Germany quickly came on board with the war plan. Game changer.

Remarkably, Biden is not the first United States president to have plans to disrupt the pipeline which could lead some journalists to look at the Ukraine more deeply and wonder whether it was a United States plan all along to goad Putin into invading simply for the excuse to blow them up.

As former United States Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice noted back in 2014 when United States meddling in the internal affairs of Ukraine had peaked.

"You want to change the structure of energy dependence. You want to depend more on the North American energy platform.. You want to have pipelines that do not go through Ukraine and Russia. For years, we have tried to get the Europeans interested in different pipeline routes. It is time to do that."

Could there be a better example of a smoking gun than these comments?

They are certainly worth reflecting upon when weighing up who has the fake story, the Ukrainians or Seymore Hersh.

The Americans are the only ones who had the longer-term motive, the military capability, the financial incentive and the geopolitical advantage to pull off the Nord Stream sabotage.

If you are a journalist and you are ready to indulge yourself with the latest tour de force of fake news about Ukraine pulling it off, then you probably also believe in fairies at the bottom of the garden or toothpaste which claims to whiten your teeth.
