[Salon] on NYT Nordstream tale, German official raises 'false flag' specter



From me today at RS: https://responsiblestatecraft.org/2023/03/08/on-nyt-nord-stream-theory-german-official-raises-specter-of-false-flag/

Move over Sy Hersh, the White House has its own theory about the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines back in September 2022.

But not everyone, at least right now, is buying it — including German officials, who seem completely taken aback by Tuesday’s New York Times report, which said “new intelligence” suggests a “pro-Ukrainian group” might have been behind the sabotage.

In a German Deutsche Welle (DW) report Wednesday morning, German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius “warned against premature accusations of responsibility for the attacks.”

“It may just as well have been a false flag operation staged to blame Ukraine, an option brought up in the media reports as well,” Pistorius told German public broadcaster Deutschlandfunk

Meanwhile, there are strange admissions in the NYT story like the "pro-Ukrainian" divers may have had govt training, and there were a number of "ghost" ships on the water that day with transponders turned off.

Hope you have a great day, and look forward to hearing Sy Hersh speak at the Committee for the Republic meeting next Tuesday!
