 The CIA’s “Das Boot” Alibi

The CIA’s “Das Boot” Alibi

“AI is just another transition for humanity; nothing to worry about,” says Gregory D., responding to our AI-centric issue last week. 

“AI will take away jobs but also give us jobs... far more interesting jobs! AI technology will allow us to live far more efficiently where less work is required to give us a quality life... a much better quality life!

“I see a future where AI will allow us all to spend most of the day educating our children and researching all subjects that interest us from our homes. Human technological advancement will subsequently skyrocket from this global participation in research.

“The only real threat to us,” he concludes, “are stupid governments which will not be able to transition us all from the old way of living to the new AI environment. Governments are the threat; not AI.

“AI… Bring it on. I am ready!” 

Along those same lines — but less optimistically — John M. says: “The greatest existential threat to the United States is NOT Russia, NOT China, NOT North Korea, NOT Iran — none of those compare with the WEF. 

“This is the most insidious existential threat to freedom, capitalism and civilization. Their influence has been inserted into politics, corporations, education, health and wealth.

“Paradigm Press can do more to thwart their movement.” 

We at Paradigm Press work hard to expose global elites — and their schemes to consolidate power and control — because corporate media is mainly silent on the subject. 

In addition, we help readers, from all walks of life, find the best strategies to grow and protect their wealth. That’s Paradigm’s mission. 

Now, for a “mission” that absolutely strains credulity…

Your Rundown for Wednesday, April 12, 2023...

The “Andromeda” Strain

“So you have six people on the yacht — two divers, two helpers, a doctor and a captain leasing the boat.” 

Sounds like the making of a madcap caper, right? 

Instead, it’s testimony from an unnamed “intelligence expert” speaking to Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh at his Substack account. 

In a follow-up to Hersh’s Nord Stream exposé (read an in-depth account at our sister publication The 5 Min. Forecast) — which implicatesTeam Biden in the September pipeline bombing — Hersh turns his attention to the CIA’s version of events. 

Specifically, Hersh has a bone to pick with two stories published on March 7 at The New York Times and German weekly newspaper Die Zeit

Citing CIA sources, the articles claim a “pro-Ukrainian” gang, using counterfeit passports, leased a 49-foot yacht — the Andromeda — to carry out the Nord Stream attack.

But Hersh isn’t the only one who believes something’s fishy. Two German mainstream-media outlets, Der Spiegel and Bild, also challenge the CIA’s flimsy narrative. 

  • First, how could a yacht this size (see photo above) carry the amount of explosives (up to two tons, by some estimates) to blast two pipelines to hell? And where’s the crane to hoist explosives overboard? 
  • Second, the site of the blast is 260 feet below the surface of the Baltic Sea, requiring highly skilled divers. Plus, a decompression chamber for said divers, which, you got it, the Andromeda isn’t fitted for. 

Last, the photo of the yacht shows the glorified sailboat sans license number, something legally required for such a vessel. 

And the coup de grace? A couple sham passports were conveniently left behind.

Gettin’ sloppy, boys… It’s as if “The Company” spooks aren’t even trying anymore.
