Ray McGovern, the co-founder of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, after testifying at the UN Security Council’s (UNSC’s) session on the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines, noted the first crack, after two weeks of grim silence, in the US’s ‘legacy’ media giants on Seymour Hersh’s authoritative exposure of the US operation to bomb the pipelines. His article, “Washington Post Lets Hersh’s Dangerous Cat Out of the Bag,” was posted on antiwar.com, and it opens with:
“Bombshell No. 1: Seymour Hersh’s Feb. 8 report that President Joe Biden authorized the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines built to carry cheap Russian gas to Europe.
“Bombshell No. 2: The Washington Post today ended the Establishment media embargo on Hersh’s damning report, mentioning its findings and even including a link to his article.”
He went on to include a summary of the testimony of Jeffrey Sachs, who testified to the UNSC along with McGovern: “As the destruction of the Nord Stream pipelines on 26 September 2022 constitutes an act of international terrorism and represents a threat to peace, it is the Council’s responsibility to take up the question of who might have carried out the act, help bring the perpetrator to justice, pursue compensation for the damaged parties and prevent such actions from recurring in the future.
