The archive, day by day

On this day in conspiracies

The dated turning points behind the case files: assassinations, crashes, leaks, votes, and the moments a theory was born, each drawn straight from a file's sourced timeline. We only place an entry on a day the record actually names.

    Nord Stream sabotageGovernment & Intelligence

    Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh publishes a self-authored report alleging that US Navy divers, aided by Norway, planted the explosives under cover of the June 2022 BALTOPS naval exercise and detonated them months later. He relies on a single anonymous source. The White House calls it “complete fiction”; the CIA calls it “completely and utterly false”; Norway denies any role.
