Seymour Hersh writes about how the US destroyed the Nord Stream pipeline, and although it’s built around the testimony of only a single source, it contains impressively specific details, like how the C-4 was planted by divers under the cover of the BALTOPS22 naval exercise, and was to be triggered by a sonar buoy that’d later be dropped by plane.

As every Maddow-loving, Fauci-fearing, big-D Democrat knows, this is a filthy lie. It was Russia that blew up Nord Stream for … reasons. They didn’t want to make money selling gas so badly that simply pressing the “off” button on the pipeline which they own was insufficient. No, it had to be a bolder, and shall we say, more incendiary statement. KA-BOOM! That Biden went on record a year ago saying he’d destroy it makes no difference. It’s Russia, stupid.

An interesting Twitter thread documents a Wikipedia edit war in real-time in which Mr. Hersh changes from “journalist” to “conspiracy theorist”, a favored new term of art of the illiberal, institutional left that translates roughly to English as “person who disagrees with me”. Most notable is how when the change was at risk of being reverted, powerful editors with special moderation privileges emerge from the woodwork to defend the presence of the new appellation.
