Greenwald on the Nord Stream II terror attack

This 23-minute video from early October, 2024 reports on the recent revelation from a Danish harbor master that—brace yourselves—there were several U.S. navy vessels in the vicinity of the attack on the day of the attack, with their transponders off. He’d been prevented from speaking out until now, when, presumably, it really doesn’t matter anymore. Germany’s over it, even though it has turned out to be the final nail in its coffin.

“Let’s remember that the US, even before the war in Ukraine, wanted that pipeline gone. In fact, it was Trump, despite always being accused of being a Russian agent, who led the way in trying to badger the Germans and Western Europeans [into] not using, not buying natural gas from Russia, by saying, ‘we pay for your defense, why should you buy gas from Russia instead of from us?’ and their answer was, ‘well, it’s much cheaper to buy it from Russia. Russia is much closer. Their natural gas is produced more cheaply.‘

“But Trump said, ‘we don’t care. We’re paying for your defense. You should buy it from us, even if it’s more expensive.‘ So, the US hated this pipeline for a while.

“When Biden got into office on this wave of anti-Russian hatred, and then the war in Ukraine started, they basically explicitly—Biden and Victoria Nuland came out and said, ‘if the Russians invade Ukraine, you can say goodbye to the Nordstream 2 pipeline.’ So, the US threatened repeatedly, in public, to blow it up.

“And then, nine months later, when it was blown up, the Western media was like, ‘Oh my God! Who might have done this? A gigantic mystery! Could be anybody.’”

Bitingly sarcastic Glenn Greenwald is my favorite Glenn Greenwald.

“[…] it was the Danish conducting the investigation. And, up until now, the Danish have refused to release the findings of that investigation. I wonder why? Probably not because they found that Putin did it …”

More of his biting sarcasm.

“Nordstream II explosion, as seen on the surfaceThe harbor master claimed he, ‘wasn’t allowed to say a word.‘ But, today, John Anker Nielsen can reveal that four or five days before the Nordstream explosion, he was with the rescue service from Christiansø because there were some ships there with their radios turned off. It turned out that they US Navy ships.

“When the rescue service approached them, he was asked by the naval command to turn back. Therefore the harbor master leans toward the theory, as suggested by, among others, the American star journalist Seymour Hirsch, although without evidence, that the US was behind the sabotage.”
