DAVID SIROTA—Look, the secretary of transportation has a huge amount of power as the chief regulator of the nation’s transportation systems, in particular the airlines and the railways. These companies, whether it’s Southwest Airlines or Norfolk Southern, or anyone else, are making corporate decisions inside of a regulatory framework.

ALEKS—Ukraine’s power generation capacity needs to be brought down slowly and carefully to a critical level. This level needs to be sufficient to provide the civil population enough hours of electricity, per day, to maintain critical and live-saving processes. This is what we are witnessing these days. It is important to understand, that not all kinds of power plants can be destroyed. Yes, NPP’s of course not. But there are power plants, generating voltages, which would cause such an imbalance of voltages in the power grid, that it would physically destroy substations and other equipment due to overloads. I don’t want to go into details since I’m not an electrical engineer. A low level of energy supply could be maintained until the new offensive starts, to provide energy to the civil population.

ERIC ZUESSE—he cover-up by the U.S.-and-allied ‘news’-media of Seymour Hersh’s blockbuster self-published February 8th investigative-news report that Joe Biden himself had ordered the destruction of the Nord Stream gas pipelines, wasn’t only the virtually total blackout of it that was engaged in by almost all ‘news’-media in The West — their failing to report that Hersh had issued any such news-report — but was ALSO the denigration of it by the very few that did mention it. Almost only non-mainstream news-media in The West DID report about it, and the four mainstream ones that did were treating it casually and briefly.

RON UNZ—As a result, Hersh’s Democracy Now! segment can no longer be viewed anywhere except on the Youtube site itself, and then only after clicking through two layers of warnings. The obvious intent was to drastically reduce Hersh’s potential audience and this will surely succeed. I assume that these restrictions have been combined with the most severe sort of shadow-banning. So a segment that would have probably been seen by many millions will only get a small fraction of that total.

How America Took Out The Nord Stream Pipeline
The New York Times called it a “mystery,” but the United States executed a covert sea operation that was kept secret—until now38 minutes readSEYMOUR HERSH—The Norwegians and Americans had a location and the operatives, but there was another concern: any unusual underwater activity in the waters off Bornholm might draw the attention of the Swedish or Danish navies, which could report it. Denmark had also been one of the original NATO signatories and was known in the intelligence community for its special ties to the United Kingdom. Sweden had applied for membership into NATO, and had demonstrated its great skill in managing its underwater sound and magnetic sensor systems that successfully tracked Russian submarines that would occasionally show up in remote waters of the Swedish archipelago and be forced to the surface.
