Biden regime plants new Narrative on who blew up the pipelines: six Ukrainians in a small sailboat. Seriously

If you pay attention to world events you may recall that last September someone blew up three of the four Russian gas pipelines connecting Russian gas fields with Europe.  

The pipelines were pressurized to about 100 atmospheres, and the explosions released half a million tons of methane. Normally the Warmies would be furious, cuz dey scream methane beez da worst, most awful greenhouse gas evah!  Way worse den duh dread carbon dioxide.  But in this, oddly, not a peep.

On February 8th of this year, former NYT investigative reporter Sy Hersh wrote a piece claiming the lines were blown up by the U.S., on orders from biden.

I wrote about that claim here.  And significantly, I had information Hersh didn't have, from a radar plot of the Baltic early in the morning hours of the day the pipelines were blown up--months before Hersh published his article.  I'd found that plot a week after the sabotage, and it had a number of telltales that I knew from a decade of flying military jets made it authentic.  

And the radar plot was totally consistent with Hersh's story--three months before Hersh wrote it

Let me explain the significance of that, because most of you didn't pick up on the timing, which is critical:  Hersh didn't know about the radar plot.  Still doesn't.  If skeptics want to claim the radar track is a fake, how did the people who allegedly created it know to make it totally support what Hersh would eventually write three months in the future?

Now: We can't yet prove conclusively that Hersh's story is true, but consider this: In the past, when a story this big breaks, if the Mainstream Media is being honest it will usually at least look into the big story, and either try to debunks it--by citing specific facts--or if they can't, they admit it might be true.  But in this case neither the New York Times, Washington Post nor the Wall Street Journal bothered examining any of Hersh's allegations, but simply printed a pro-forma denial from the biden regime claiming the story was false.

The fact that the big 3 didn't actually look into the specifics is extremely significant.  It's a "tell."

The White House even went so far as to claim the Russians blew up their own pipeline, despite the fact that had they wanted to remove the possibility of resuming gas deliveries thru the lines, all they had to do was turn off the compressors.  (There's only one set, at their end.)  And of course everyone with an IQ over 80 realized this. 

As an aside, the three bombed lines have now been filled with corrosive seawater for so long that it may not be possible to repair them, causing a writeoff of roughly $30 Billion, though half of that was borne by European partners in the project.

So today, over a month after Hersh's story broke, and after the plotters have had plenty of time to devise a hopefully more plausible Narrative, the WSJ has printed a new tale, planted by the biden regime.  

And the new Narrative is utterly implausible.

According to the WSJ, last August six Ukrainians--"some with forged passports!"--rented a 50-foot sailboat in a Baltic port, and supposedly used it to support divers who planted the explosives.

Perfect.  Gets the biden regime off the hook for a war crime--a "terrorist act."  And of course no one could blame the Ukrainians for doing everything they could to damage the Russians, cuz... you know.

Problem is, if you know anything about deep diving... Oh wait, that's right: Outside of the military, maybe 300 people in the entire country know more than a tiny bit about deep diving.  Since much of the clear implausibility of this new Narrative depends on knowing something about deep diving, the biden regime knows the average American won't be able to call bullshit on this new Narrative.

So let me give you one minute of education on the physiology of deep diving:  The pipelines were 280 feet deep.  The pressure at that depth is nine times that of the surface atmosphere.   

The problem isn't so much getting down to that depth as it is coming back to the surface:  Unless the diver spends time at several different depths to de-compress, he risks crippling or even life-threatening gas bubbles forming in tissue and blood.

The "school solution" for working at that depth is to use a decompression chamber on the surface vessel.  Divers ascend at normal speed, and go right into the pressure chamber, which is quickly pressurized to whatever pressure the divers were working at.  Then over a period of hours or days, depending on depth and how long the diver was at depth, the pressure is slowly reduced,

Problem is, decompression chambers are both bulky and quite heavy: A chamber for just two divers weighs over a thousand pounds.  There's no way that will fit on the deck of a 50-ft sailboat.  Moreover, it would take an industrial crane to lift such a chamber from a flatbed to the boat.  None of the ports where the vessel stopped report having or seeing such a rig.

But since virtually no one knows anything about those little details, and even fewer Americans have any idea about the details of the sabotage itself, the CIA could put out any absurdly impossible narrative it desired, confident that no one would call them on their bullshit..

Finally, here's the thing that virtually proves this story was planted, instead of being written internally by the WSJ:  The entire, long WSJ story doesn't mention Hersh's name or any of the details of his story.

Not once.  If journalists were writing a story that was actually examining the plausibility of Hersh's claims, then to fail to mention any of those claims would seem incompetent.  A legitimate story would want to list the claims it was alleging weren't true.

But by contrast, if the Journal was merely acting as a stenographer for the regime, not mentioning Hersh or his story or claims makes perfect sense, because the people who planted the latest story in the WSJ--to discredit Hersh's claims--wouldn't want to put his very plausible details in front of voters again, since the whole point of the new Narrative is to plant a more attractive explanation in the minds (?) of Americans.

This just gets better and better.  

You can almost see the CIA plotters, with their White House co-conspirators, laughing, saying "The fact that the public believed that whole Narrative we concocted about Covid shows they're so stupid they'll believe this bullshit too."  Yep.
