The Lead: America Blew Up Nord Stream Pipeline

credit: getty

Veteran journalist Seymour Hersh published a bombshell expose of the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipeline, proving that the U.S. is the guilty party and that Norway was their accomplice. 

Hersh spoke to unnamed sources who claimed to have had first-hand knowledge of the mission. He says that the mission was done by the U.S. Navy so that the Biden Administration could carry out the attack without Congressional approval. The report lays out who (the U.S. and Norway), why (to force Europe to support Ukraine and cross Russia), how (during Naval exercises in the Baltic), and when (summer of 2022). It is a thorough and important read. 

The U.S. and Norway deny this of course but this is not the first time Hersh’s reporting was denied but turned out to be legitimate. Hersh’s reporting is the reason we know about the Mỹ Lai massacre in Vietnam and the Abu Ghraib prison scandal in Iraq. 

We discussed this at length in Wednesday’s episode of Redacted. 

Twitter Execs Go To Washington

Four former Twitter executives testified to the House of Representatives on Wednesday. They included former deputy general counsel James Baker, former chief legal officer Vijaya Gadde, former global head of trust and safety Yoel Roth and former employee Ankia Collier Navaroli. 

The House called them in to ask them about censoring speech and user accounts, particularly around the Hunter Biden laptop. Gadde and Roth both admitted that censoring that story was a mistake. Roth said that this was done in order to “avoid repeating the mistakes” of the 2016 election when they failed to recognize the influence of Russian misinformation. 

This is confusing because we learned from the Twitter files that Roth repeatedly said that they had NOT identified evidence of Russian bots when pushed by Democratic congress members. 

Republicans pushed these executives over their collusion with government agencies but as we all know all too well, Congressional testimony is fairly toothless. Congress cannot enact consequences, they can only publicly drag out wrongdoing or the perception thereof.

U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said that “nothing is off the table” in the nation’s support of Ukraine. Does this indicate that the U.K. will jump both feet into the war against Russia? 

Russia warned London against sending fighter jets, according to Russia’s TASS news agency. The Russian embassy said that the “bloodshed, next round of escalation, and resulting military and political consequences for the European continent and the entire world” would be on London’s conscience if the UK sent fighter jets and that “Russia will find a way to respond to any unfriendly steps taken by the British side.”

Ukrainian President Zelensky is on a tour of Europe, begging for more weapons and aid.

The Fungus Among Us

The World Health Organization says that fungus is an increasing threat, killing an estimated 1.5 million people per year. But there may be a vaccine for fungus. 

Scientists at the University of Georgia say that they have a vaccine that can protect against a variety of dangerous fungi. They have successfully tested it on animals and are hoping to start human trials soon. 

Humans and fungi normally co-exist just fine but when people have suppressed immune systems, fungus can move in and wreak havoc. Some scientists say that climate change could be making this problem worse. 

Fungi are live organisms that seek organic matter for food and you, human reader, can be food. Athlete’s foot, dandruff and thrush are all common fungal infections but other kinds can be far more dangerous. Yikes.
