An anonymous commentator has just drawn my attention to this recording, and even though I am, of course, not sure that it is real, it is simply too good not to pass on. So with the usual caveat emptor, here is this gem:
Now, is it really real? A sound recording of this type is really easy to fake, I could do that on my home computer using a sound editor like, say, Audacity. Still, my gut feeling tells me that this is probably a real intercept. The stupidity and imperial arrogance of Pyatt and Nuland are absolutely convincing to me. They sound like typical State Department “suits”.
The sound quality if very good, better than in previous phone intercepts leaked by private sector interests in the Ukraine. This does not sound like a “bug in a phone” thing to me, but more like the intercept of a secure digital line so – if this thing is real – then this leak is probably courtesy of the GRU/SVR/FSB rather than the Ukrainian SBU.
What do you think?
I did a rapid search about this recording and I have found nothing of interest so far. If you find out anything about it (who leaked it? did the US denounce it as a fake?) please let us know.

UPDATE1: it is confirmed, thanks to anonymous, we know is real:

UPDATE2: oh what a great joy it was to listen to that silly crap:
As I said previously, here’s a Video Interview with the American Ambassador for voice comparison:

To me it really sounds legit.
(as for the Military forum that this was posted on – It’s not a Russian but an American one…with *STRONG* support for Israel. So I don’t want to advertise it if it’s not necessary. If you wish, I’ll send you a private mail or something?)
Cheers,

Here, I’ll just post the link to the forum, so you decide if you want it posted:

@K:It’s not a Russian but an American one…with *STRONG* support for Israel.
Wow!! Better and better. How fascinating indeed. Consider that a lot of Israelis are fully aware of the rabid Judeophobia of the Ukie nationalists and I bet you that a lot of them are siding with Moscow on this one (not the government, of course, but individual Israelis). Also, considering the numerous ties between Russia and Israel, the GRU/SVR/FSB could have easily used some informal “business” connection between the two countries to leak the recording. Whatever may be the case, I am very grateful for this true gem.
As I have said many many many times over, the best part of this blog is the first-rate commentators who contribute such fantastic stuff like you did.
Thanks a lot!! Cheers,

Sorry to say – I can’t really take credit for this one. It was posted by someone else, I just reposted it here.
But it’s of MAJOR SIGNIFICANCE if it’s real, and to me it sounds real indeed…

Hey, just found a couple of interesting articles on Nuland.

Seems the woman has many fingers in the dirtiest pies, starting from the Benghazi fiasco coverup.
This makes your file sound more and more legit, I think.
(btw, great work, keep on it!)

Hypocrisy is a mild word to describe this.

Hello Saker,
This leak might not be pure coincidence..like a puzzle you have to add the pieces. Have you seen this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2itnur8fdyY
For this guy to do that in the Superbowl press conference there should have been a big security break..someone is really tackling Obamawar…
Seems some reports are popping up in some of the media about this:
http://www.kyivpost.com/content/politics/fuck-the-eu-frustrated-nuland-says-to-pyatt-in-alleged-leaked-phone-call-336373.html
Even more interesting is that an aide to Putin is hinting this between the lines in an interview:
http://www.kommersant.ua/doc/2400532
From the BBC:
A senior adviser to Russian President Vladimir Putin has accused the US of meddling in Ukraine, in breach of a 1994 agreement over non-intervention.
Sergei Glazyev said the US was spending $20m (£12.3m; 14.8m euros) a week on Ukrainian opposition groups, supplying “rebels” with arms among other things.
Things are heating up.
WOW
Even the Financial Times is reporting this now:

I can imagine that the average Ukrainian might harbor some ill will toward Israel. The Holodomor (the Secret Holocaust) is still fresh in many minds there. It was the genocidal Bolscheviks’ work. Their brethren, now in Israel and the U.S., are out to put their boot on the neck of Ukrainians — once again.
It has now been officially confirmed as being authentic:

Yup! That is good enough for me.
Thanks!

It’s now front page story on the BBC:

But….
There’s more:

Apparently, the guy that was supposed to be tortured by Russians, hid in a villa, and he got the injuries elsewhere…get’s better and better…

Saker, i know, but you were the first…..
It is big. It is fun. It is unpredictible… But I guess Imperial forces arent happy.
Add to the latest ‘leak’ video posted right before this one, which is Ruasian language and dated 1-29-14.
Same Financial Times journo I got the original leak this morning from via twitter, about 1 hour later tweeted a second one inferring it was related, but it’s German he said and you can hear here
Would love to know what both of them say :)

Oh man, what a treat!
If there was something that made my day since the Ukraine “happened”, this was it!
Anybody dares to make any predictions as to how will this unfold?
Many thanks too all who contributed to this story!
