Even the Washington Post felt compelled to acknowledge the holes in the story of a chartered yacht being key to the destruction of the Nord Stream pipelines. “Investigators skeptical of yacht’s role in Nord Stream bombing,” reads the headline.
Following Seymour Hersh’s reporting on the pipeline explosions having been conducted as a U.S. operation with Norwegian support, a coordinated fabrication was peddled via the New York Times and the German Die Zeit, whose near simultaneous reporting supposedly revealed the real culprit behind the attack — a small group of Ukrainian radicals who rented a 50-foot yacht and pulled off the greatest act of industrial terrorism in history. Zero Hedge reports that Seymour Hersh was told, regarding this concoction: “It was a total fabrication by American intelligence that was passed along to the Germans, and aimed at discrediting your story.”
“After months of investigation,” the Washington Post confesses, “law enforcement officials now suspect that the 50-foot yacht, the Andromeda, was probably not the only vessel used in the audacious attack. They also say the boat may have been a decoy, put to sea to distract from the true perpetrators, who remain at large.”
