BATTLEFORWORLD.COM | February 16, 2023: US investigative journalist Seymour Hersh continue to pry open the secret vault of incriminating evidence that the mainstream media refuses to report on, that plausibly shows direct links to the Biden administration to have carried out the September sabotage attacks against Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines. And on Wednesday, Russia has called for a special Security Council meeting at the United Nations to discuss the new information.

Sputnik reports that an email was forwarded to them by a US journalist, coming from an individual who identify themselves as a servicemember that took part in last summer's NATO BALTOPS 22 exercises in the waters near the site of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipeline explosions, providing new information corroborating last week's bombshell Substack report released by Seymour Hersh.

From Hersh's information, the divers operated from aboard one of the Norwegian Alta-class minesweeper, with C4 later triggered by a sonar buoy dropped by a Norwegian Navy P8 surveillance plane. The explosives-to-buoy communications system was said to have been a highly advanced signal processing technology contraption.

According to the email received on June 15, a helicopter delivered a group of conspicuous-looking American divers in civilian clothes to the exercise area in the North Seas. "My first thought was that they looked like a group of terrorists," the source wrote in the email, pointing to the individuals' as having odd haircuts, mustaches and beards, and very strangely, the absence of any military ID markers.

The divers were reported to have been greeted by a vice admiral from the US Sixth Fleet and a group of individuals dressed in plain clothes. The email source was unable to hear the details of their conversation from the noise being generated by the helicopter's propeller blades. The Sixth Fleet commander during the BALTOPS 22 drills was identified as Vice Admiral Eugene Black, who was succeeded by Vice Admiral Thomas Ishee in September 2022. The email source did not clarify whether Black was the vice admiral the men communicated with.

The email source noted that the men's MK29 military-issue rebreather systems used by the US Navy, uses an oxygen-helium mixture for deep-sea diving. The men were also noticed to have had other high-grade, expensive equipment not in use by ordinary Navy units, and were carrying small boxes with them, with contents unknown.

The men that were being observed identified themselves as participants in "de-mining exercises," and were to involve with the sailing of a small rubber dinghy to a destination specified, to find, and defuse anti-ship mines. However, the divers did not appear to be equipped for this, said the email source. ...

On Thursday, Dougan spoke to the Russian media and said that he believe many people in the United States were beginning to "wake up" and understand [better] what is happening in Ukraine, and that the United States of America role is "essentially starting World War III." Dougan also noted that the legacy media [, i.e., the lying corporate media,] in the West has done its best to try and block/censor the dissemination of truthful information about the Ukraine crisis, but that people [who want to know the truth, because they do not trust the lying Western media] have been able to find alternative, independent sources of information to figure out/understand better what's really going on [inside the United States and other parts of the world]. ...
