Biden admin calls reports that US sabotaged Nord Stream ‘Russian disinformation’
Rumors still abound that the Biden administration is responsible for the mysterious sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipeline system last week, despite the federal government's denial.
As reported by America’s Frontline News, the Swedish Maritime Authority reported last Tuesday that underwater explosions caused two leaks in the Nord Stream 1 pipeline and one leak in the Nord Stream 2, sending bubbling methane to the surface of the Baltic Sea.
The rumors about the Biden administration are not unfounded. In February, Joe Biden emphatically promised that the US government “will bring an end” to Nord Stream 2.
"If Russia invades . . . then there will no longer be a Nord Stream 2," he said during a joint press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. "We will bring an end to it."
When a reporter asked him how the US would end the pipeline, Biden ominously answered, "I promise you, we will be able to do it."
In January, State Department official Victoria Nuland vowed that “If Russia invades Ukraine, one way or another, Nord Stream 2 will not move forward.”
Both remarks came before Germany decided to end the Nord Stream 2 project on February 22, 2022.
A Biden official Tuesday unwittingly lent further credence to the rumors of a White House sabotage by discarding them as “Russian disinformation,” a go-to red herring used by the federal government to smokescreen its own iniquities.
“That’s just Russian propaganda and disinformation,” National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby told Bret Baier on Fox News after being pressed on the issue. “Now, we know it was an act of sabotage, but there’s an investigation going on right now. I don’t think we’re going to get into credentialing that in terms of who was responsible. We’re going to let the investigators take a look at that. But, clearly, this was an act of sabotage.”
Previous examples of “Russian disinformation” include the Hunter Biden laptop story, Trump’s presidential win in 2016, Trump’s win in 2020, and challenges to the COVID-19 injection’s safety and efficacy.
The rumors take on more gravitas considering that Joe Biden has never met a pipeline he liked. On his first day in the White House, Biden ended the Keystone XL pipeline between the United States and Canada, insisting that “[l]eaving the Keystone XL pipeline permit in place would not be consistent with my Administration’s economic and climate imperatives.”
The Executive Order clarified that ending the pipeline was part of a globalist initiative to foist his “climate imperatives” around the world, claiming there is a “need to avoid setting the world on a dangerous, potentially catastrophic, climate trajectory.”
“The United States must be in a position to exercise vigorous climate leadership in order to achieve a significant increase in global climate action and put the world on a sustainable climate pathway,” reads the Executive Order.
According to the EO, the pipeline was also standing in the way of “the credibility and influence of the United States in urging other countries to take ambitious climate action.”
