When the Nord Stream pipelines carrying natural gas from Russia to Germany were damaged last September, U.S. officials were quick to suggest Russia had bombed its own pipelines. But according to a new report by the legendary investigative journalist Seymour Hersh, it was the U.S. Navy that carried out the sabotage, with help from Norway. Citing a source "with direct knowledge of the operational planning," Hersh writes on his Substack blog that planning for the mission began in December of 2021. The White House and the Norwegian government have since denied the claims. Hersh joins us for an in-depth interview to discuss his report and says the U.S. decision to bomb the pipelines was meant to lock allies into support for Ukraine at a time when some were wavering. "The fear was Europe would walk away from the war," he says. Hersh won a Pulitzer Prize in 1970 for his reporting on the My Lai massacre. His reporting on CIA spying on antiwar activists during the Vietnam War era helped lead to the formation of the Church Committee, which led to major reforms of the intelligence community, and in 2004, he exposed the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal in Iraq.

2:40 Biden::: "I promise you we'll be able to do that..." [Blow-up the pipeline] . Scholz' response::("We'll do it together") appearing at 12-30 into this RUclips::: (SCHULTERSCHLUSS IN WASHINGTON: Präsident Biden bringt Kanzler Scholz auf Linie | WELT Dokument)
yeah the US doesn't like it when the US public sees what our tax money does to our unworthy victims abroad.
How sad, But we all know what RUclips is in reality.....
Censorship by another name is still Censorship.
wow what highly offensive imagery that's been shown in the interview to protect my innocent eyes .
The fact that no major news paper publishers published this piece speaks volumes of the state of news in the US
The WORLD
It shows the Media is tightly controlled by a tiny group of Billionaires. And they black out ANY news that doesn't fit their agendas.
The news story did have weather balloons ....
Hersh has lost his credibility, the entire body of his book is theory and speculation, 1 source??? No, this is nothing more than an easy money maker. And he’s putting this country and the world at risk of a 3rd world war, to line his pockets.
Well hersch ignores and throws out all the evidence that contradicts him and his hypothesis, which is rather plentiful. It’s been criticised pretty openly
This world is in desperate need of honest journalism
This America needs GOD LIKE YEARS AGO GOD WILL BE JUDGI G AMERICA FOR THE EVILNESS
too bad this ain't it
..yet we get Seymour Hersh...
@@tellyboy17 thank goodness for Cy, all other’s are paid in full to mock any real journalism.

Thank you for telling the truth to Americans when nobody else is!
There's plenty fighting the good fight, Seymour Hersh is one of them. Debate is needed and important to move forward
how is that the truth? its a theory.
Great work by Seymour Hersh
We need to give out the Seymour Hersh award to the best investigative piece of journalism every year.
Correct.. 🙏
there is the I.F. Stone award
What's the point of asking the government, when you've seen them lie in the past?
Your elected liars fill the circus. They are there to create hate and create turmoil around the world to fulfill their domestic need for votes.
The government is go to call continuity of government! That will end our freedoms! It will allow the united nations to step in . No more elections
Right. We should never ask politicians any question any time. We know they all lie. Journalists should be prosecutors: investigate, charge, indict and convict
we blew it up, and Russia should declare war on us....... we are such assholes..... and Biden should be impeached. along with Price....
Maybe to motivate people to run proper candidates in Primaries instead of accepting whatever catch of the day these financial services parties run?
I was shocked the US who told the world they were gonna end the pipeline, and celebrated the pipeline being blown up, actually blew up the pipeline
I was shocked NO ONE SAID ANYTHING ABOUT IT until NOW.
I’m SHOCKED that we believe it totally without proof!
@@vallee7966 LOL, THERE ARE many smokes ...

That Amerika was behind the blow up - everybody knew - But that the Norwegen were part of It , made me sick.
Greetings from Germany 😢
Thank You Seymour Hersh 🌹
Trump tree to warn your idiot leaders years ago about hitching your horse to the Russian wagon
Made you sick why …Because you are a communist
This is the best report wrapped in a speech by Seymour Hersh. My deepest respect. I'm born 19 years after him. But he is not an old man with an aging spirit, I regret that I ever allowed myself to think along that line. This man is excellent! Nevertheless - if all that is really true - I'm not even asking for the source. America has indeed destroyed a pipeline to Europe, motivated by two major arguments: 1. the fear that Germany might giver a green light to Russia to open it again and 2. To be in control of gas deliveries to Europe - in effect to make money and cancel the cheap gas coming from Russia. That is mind blowing! Divers down 260 feet, mines placed (1 mile apart), divers up, decompression chamber, remote ignition of all mines. Make a run for it. I wonder now what is the future of NATO and can that lead to nuclear war? I am very concerned it may.
Biden is now exactly in the position the he accused the Russians of. He is now in control of "weaponizing" natural gas. He has destroyed a vital pipeline for Germany and - if true - will soon offer American gas to Germany at a higher price than the Russians. It is mind blowing!
He is 87 years old , He looks great.
Love this man, he serves humanity.
Thanks Seymorgh from california.
It's the spirit that matters!
85 yo right now he will be 86 yo on April 8, 2023 !
And a prime spotlight on the fact that Biden is demented; his sluggish speech and cognition is not simply a normal factor of his age.
85... this is what engaging your mind daily will do for you
@@MiroBG359 Yeah,right !
This man is 85 years old? Dam! Hes the youngest,sharpest most lucid energetic 85 year old ive ever seen. I hope if I get to that age I can be as him. Wonder what his secret is? Good diet? Intellectual vigorous pursuits? Not selling out? Amazing!
He is doing the right things, saying truth as it is, probably this is the reason.
Passion for truth and love for humanity dignity!
Age is a number, for some they are sharp as a tack at 90, others have mentally checked out by 80. What's strange is that many people are oblivous to recognizing this.
@@arethereanyuniquehandles I know. Look at the president. Smartest thing he can say is "Think about what you think about!"

I've been in contact with a coach Rodger Michael Karl for a while now mainly because I lack the depth knowledge and mental fortitude to deal with these recurring market conditions. I made over $220K during this dip, which made it clear there's more to the market than we average joes know. Having an investment adviser is currently the best course of action, especially for those who are close to retirement ...
The financial markets are full with opportunities, but I've learned a lot over the past few years to doubt that. The key is knowing where to focus. Well appreciated, Rodger Michael Karl.
Thank you so much for the advice. Your coach was simple to discover online. I did my research on him before I scheduled our phone call. He appears knowledgeable based on his online resume.
I just discovered his outstanding resume when I searched for his name on Google. I count it a blessing that I came across this comment section.
Having a good instructor is fundamental for portfolio broadening. Rodger Michael Karl has always been that FA who is effectively accessible and has broad information on the monetary business sectors.
if you ask me what is special about Rodger Michael Karl compared to the other traders I have worked with in the past, Rodger Michael Karl has numerous great features, simple, easy, and reliable signals and analysis.
Hersh is a national treasure!
What's really frustrating were the amount of people in America who strongly argued that Russia took out its own pipeline when it made no logical sense. The mental gymnastics displayed was even crazier than the WMD claims in Iraq. People always let their emotions cloud their judgement no matter the generation or the information we have access to.
Yeah it makes no sense that Russia, a country that bombed its own territory as a false flag pretence to invade Chechnya, would ever do another false flag attack on itself... Russia also did a bunch of false flag attacks leading up to their invasion of Ukraine, and false flag attacks leading up to their invasion of Georgia. Oh, and false flag attacks to justify their chemical bombing runs in Syria.
Ha ha
The funnier thing is Brandon said he was gonna blow it up. Then when he did, the press called it a mysterious leak in the pipeline.
This comes to show most mainstream Americans are not 2 sophisticated or very well educated, that's why they believe the lies their media reports to them
Americans don't think for themselves, they just believe it
True, the level of deception and propaganda is such that it leaves me baffled, especially because of how people reason absolutely nothing. Anything said against Russia is valid regardless of common sense and logic.
This man is a hero and should be treated as such.
I usually agree with Amy and the rest of the pinkos at DN about 1 in 100 times.
.
This is one of those times.
Indeed
Yes, he is, but because of the stories he's published in the past and not because of this idiotic nonsense.
@@Kalumbatsch Lol. You are something else...
God bless Seymour Hersh and his family. I'm Christian, he's Jewish, he's a brother in truth.
Thank you Mr. Hersh for speaking up. We in Europe have brainwashed politicians who believe in the benevolent of Us. But we have been betrayed! Greetings from Switzerland!
How has Switzerland been betrayed? You guys hoarded Nazi gold for them, and hide assets for the worst people on earth now, don’t act like your country cares about anything other than money.
Amazing interview! High quality output from Seymour Hersh. This is excellent work by Democracy Now! Well done!
These are the most dangerous people in the world right now, holding that same world hostage by its blunt aggression and lies. Hearing Jake Sullivan and Victoria Nuland accuse another regime of the exact same thing they themselves are doing, that is, by accusing the enemy of the same thing they themselves are doing, right in the face of the German chancellor who willingly takes it, sends chills down my spine.
Corleone made an offer he couldn't reject.
you know Germany is still an occupied nation with over 35,000 US troops garrisoned there
@@dogstar8871 since 1945. Why do the Germans allow this, why does Japan and Italy allow this? It is wrong. The US is not an honorable nation, they spies out their allies and friends.
Now it really isn’t hard to understand how they demonized and cheated President Trump out of not only his first term but his second. There isn’t any lie to big or awful for them to tell. They had a big, bad agenda they just couldn’t let Trump interfere with.
That German chacellor is an idiot as those who helped him to hold that possition. At the end, for the US to do this and to get away with it, you need to have an even “dumbest” country than the US to accept this sabotage on their own pipelines; stay absolutely quite about it while their own population are paying between three to four times the price before the war started; companies shutting down (aluminum smelters, i.e.) and planning to cross the ocean to start over in the US; and still having idiots in that country of dummies saying “we have to stand up for Ukraine” instead of pushing US bases out of their country, getting out of NATO and moving on towards the most worthy economical position for them, that is getting along with Russia and supplying themselves again with the cheap gas they need. Yes, that country of dummies is Germany. Yes, yes, I know, they can build nice cars. That’s a skill and not collective intelligence which is it already obvious they lack (three times in around 100 hundred years they have demonstrated Germany is not only a country of “superior human beings” but just the opposite… there’s no other country in the world with more dopes per square mile).
To call the attack on Nord Stream 2 an act of sabotage is to underestimate the seriousness of what could be called an act of war.
It's just an act of war.
It was an act of war when they released a chemical agent in Salisbury. It was a state sponsored murder of litvinenko. They’re all at it. Cambridge analytica was an act of war.
Lets be honest
...of what can only be called an act of war.
@@johnparker5337 against a NATO country
The US is a terrorist state!
The reaction of Ned Price was....priceless. He does a really bad job of lying.
Thank you so much Mr.Hersh for your wonderful journalistic work
I think what is more disconcerting about this is the fact they lie, they know they will be called out and they just don't care.
Oh they care believe me, that's what all the balloons and UFOs are for. To create distractions ...
With the majority of the media on the government's side, they have little to fear from a tiny minority of principled journalists.
Democracy dies in darkness indeed.
Their attitude is not surprising. You see, the folks who make such decisions are faceless people who are cryptically referred to as Deep State. They have their associates on both sides of the aisle. Elections and voters be damned, they'll do what they feel is in their interest - not necessarily national interest.
No one can make the US government pay a price. Of course, Russia could use nukes... but they could only "play that card" one time.
What about the military who's iching for a war!!! can we trust the generals not to " fake" an attack on domestic soil to get their war started???? I remember this happened in Russia!!

First time I get to hear an American journalist reporting in an unbiased manner
Unbiased = tells me what I want to hear.
ACCOUNTABILITY NOW !!!!!!!!!!!
A 10-year-old child knew this in September thankyou for doing the work to prove it
You are soooo right! 10 year old ones knew this from the beginning on. And truthfully: How dumb are the politics of the USA that they can think that all world is so dumb that they wouldn't know who are the evil-doers for mankind and our planet!!!
Real journalism? No source, no evidence. That's not real journalism my friend.
@@scotfilm "A 10-year-old child knew this in September." No source no proof and no Sy Hersh required. Just a bit of brain. Btw of course all the proof and all the evidence is there. Germany, Denmark, Norway and Sweden have all the proof and evidence there is.They are not telling you, so you are left with circumstantial evidence and many a criminal has been put away for good, based on circumstantial evidence. All you need to show is intent, motive and means. If you wan to wait for the gold-embossed card that states "yes, we did it" you can wait for eternity. I don't have that much time and for me the case was closed the day the attack happened.
Thanks for telling the world what we already suspected
Yes, what we already knew . We are not as stupid as they think , and the numbers of people becoming aware are growing 👍
@j..; As the #'s of aware grow, Those #'s left behind seemingly dig further in too their respective foxhole's ? As if a balance of sorts is necessary in our abilities too discern that deemed as; good or bad, right or wrong, pleasure or pain, And that of, Heaven or Hell !

Exactly what I thought.

As a french citizen, I really want to thank you about that. There's absolutely no media down here talking about that, even if our future depends on it.
Well, there is practically no news here in USA either. That is what makes This report remarkable.
The French media (especially the public media France Inter, France Info) has been awful. Utterly awful.
The same in Germany! Olaf Scholz stood next to Biden, grinning stupidly. That's not normal!

Democracy today, featuring Seymour M. Hersh who by the way resembles Dominic Dunne, writer. From the Pulitzer prize and preeminent investigative journalist of our time-an intensely personal, revelatory memoir of a matchless career that has encompassed the most important stories of the last half century. Of course, this man is phenomenal, he speaks the truth!!!
😂 “Great Mystery” when Biden and others said publicly that it would be “no longer”, “we’ll bring an end to it.”
If Russia wanted to shut it down they could just flip a switch.
Yup. The hell they would throw away investment.
Russia will not ends up like Iraq.
Since Biden admitted to the Crime commited=he can be held not only accountable but convicted now
Nord Stream -2 didn't work at that time anyways so US didn't need to destroy it, Germany stopped it cause Russia recognized Donbass separatists and NS-1 was already stopped by Russia so there is no real reason to destroy it by US
Not mystery, but foolish admission of guilt...he can be judged in court of law for it...

Thank you for inviting Seymour Hersh and your willingness to report on this important issue. I live in France and there is radio silence on this subject here, except from a few alternative channels. And I surely can tell you that Europe is suffering the consequences from their -once- ally...
There is also silence here in UK.
Even, BBC doesn't inform about Seymour Hersh report.

There is total radio silence here in ”non-allined Sweden too and we don’t have a debate on the insanity to join Nato. Zilch!!!
This is the first time I have watched a Democracy Now piece in 6 years. It was worthwhile watching. Sy Hersh is still an incredible journalist.
They used to report this kind of thing all the time but then came Obama and they sold out to the power centers in DC. Oh well.
I agree. Finally great interview. More of this please.
Democracy Now has been just another US propaganda outlet for the last 6 years
@J S I know! I normally never watch it even though it has been actively pushed into suggested videos for me. Hence my surprise they invited Seymour
Well done Seymour on calling out those who "shoot themselves in the foot" by bragging about their nasties.
I have long relied solely on the perpertratos' own bragging as source of information. Any other reporting can be dubious.

What integrity, so much patent nonsense in this interview one doesn't know where to start.
The BBC anyone? Nah, didn't think so....
The suggestion that the US Navy would have "divers jump overboard and plant C-4 explosives" in over 200ft of highly surveilled water is beyond ludicrous. Any upper tier NATO Navy would be considerably more likely to use the safer, more covert capabilities of autonomous submersible drones to pull off an operation of that magnitude.
Everyone in Europe has known this to be true since this happened.
even the Germans, if they wanted to know...
And therefore you remain silent, great way to become a colonialist slave.
NO, not True.
But it was pretty clear, that it was probably the US...
Like EU not doing anything and react strange, Russia blowing up their own pipeline, USA and WESTern powers acting like they had no idea who it was ...
Blaming Russia for destroying their own pipelin,etc.
I certainly doubt the Germans believe what Hersh wrote, or if they do, then they have yet to grasp what it means.
@@dvegule920 I'm one German who knew.

And what's wrong with the US taking out a murders money. Russians are raping and murdering Ukrainians right now and gas is their number one profit maker. By criticizing the US, on this issue, you support Russian rape and murder against my brothers and sisters. Why do you think Ukrainians deserve to be raped and murdered by Russians? And wrong for the US to cut them off where they can? You people are monsters.

Starting war against the terrorist state as it was before with Fascist Germany is not feasible.

Without supporting facts, we can only surmise that the U.S. probably destroyed the privately owned pipeline. Respected journalist Seymour Harsh, among the few today interested in real journalism, has provided the necessary supporting evidence of the Biden attack on affordable energy.

Filling in the gaps!? 33 minutes and not a shred of any evidence just only hyperbole.
ADD MOSSAD
I'm very confused here! If Poland doesn't want the pipeline and Germany is OK with a russian pipeline getting blown up and the president admitted publicly that they would end the pipeline and Norway helped destroy the pipeline with the USA and there is something called the EU which votes collectively on pipelines......then who the hell wanted that pipeline there? Did Russia just force the EU to accept the pipeline?? This is the strangest geopolitical episode I think I've ever seen. If you don't need the pipeline or don't want it just shut it off on your land! Why blow it up? If Germany wanted that pipeline then why are they not saying anything about it being destroyed? They just let the US blow up pipelines in their territory??? What the hell is going on?
Seymour you’re a gentleman and a scholar!
"I promise you, we'll be able to do it." And apparently we did .
And Nuland's comments after, as if that were ok. She celebrates a terrorist act against an ally.
@bekboto 123 Wonder what the German people think of their ally blowing. up their gas line !

THANK YOU FOR COVERING THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mr. Hersh is one of the deserving Pulitzer winners.
Seymour Herch est un immense reporter. A suivre ++++
Avons nous quelques MR Herch en France??😊
Of course they blew it up. It was as plain as day from zero hour. The fact that there was so little interest from the mockingbird press just proves how much trouble we’re in. Hersch is a hero
We knew the US did it. They said they would so why blame someone else? It's all a bunch of BS, that's why. We can't believe or trust our own government.
👍
Absolutely bullshit. And nothing in Hersch explanation makes sence from a technical perspective.
What the US public does with this truthful information, will be a story for another day
It's amazing so many people still have doubts about this, that they have to repeat the USA/Norway theory every other moment.
When we saw 4 explosions in 3 pipes, 2 in the same pipe 50 miles apart, and one completely untouched pipe - we had no doubt who was the perpretator and the associated message.
Any other entity who might wish to shut down the pipelines with explosions, would have done one explosion on each pipe where they are right next to each other, and thereby terminated the pipes 100%.
My goodness, how difficult is it?
Mr Hersh has been a hero of truth for a half century. He knows how to build a story. Keep going.
Just the fact our mainstream media ignores the story should be a really good hint who had dirty fingers on this.
As a former small town journalist I'm obviously proud of Mr. Hersh with his work. We need more of his type if only to keep everybody honest.
Proud of this Putler-propaganda? 😅
I agree with you! Glad that there are still people that are prepared to put their reputation at risk for the sake of the truth! The world would be a better place if we had more people that stand up to the truth! A good journalist must always stay neutral and tell the truth!

But for America or more specifically the Biden administration, there should be hell to pay if there were any justice on this earth.
@@Nine-Signs no they haven't. there is literally no evidence outside an anonymous source. Literally none. In fact several of his suppositions have been contradicted
Ok, they didn’t leave a picture of Biden pointing at the destruction with a caption that says, “ I did this!” But there is a speech he gave but I know you will say he meant something else. “We will stop the nordstream 2 pipeline.” A reporter asks how since it is under Germany’s control. A wink and a smirk, “We have a way, trust me.” Then you quote the same mantra from the 2020 election. “ Not one shred of evidence of voter fraud has been found.” Is that all it takes to deceive you? Do you recall when Trump stopped the construction on Nord 2? One of Biden’s first executive orders was to stop Keystone. Then he approved Nord 2. Then 2 years later he. BLOWS IT UP? When the bombs begin “bursting in air” I hope you don’t seek solace that it’s just “Russian disinformation” because just like me, you don’t have a ticket to the shelter that has movie theaters and bowling alleys.
Another quote from the Biden legacy, “We have assembled the best voter fraud team that has ever been put together. I can’t possibly lose this election.”
5 days before MSM created a new word to explain that gaffe. It’s replacing the word from long ago…bulls**t
Thank you for bringing Seymour on. We need more brave men like him to bring the darkness to light.
these journalist in this interview are full of sh*t. I don't know him, but he is absolutely bragging and possibly lying about the story. Maybe the story is for like 10% true and he is connecting the dots because he has someone that see things. Hahahaha. Hes trying to find credibility see 13:05, talks about biden doing good stuff, to make him feel genuine and then talk about his credibility 13:19 for itself within his conversation. Brag about alot of stuff, like secrets and bla bla bla. This is no journalist. ' He got alot of access to people who see things' 13:13 Hahahahahaha are you fn serious. This is a journalist? 😂😂😂😂😂. Why hes trying to find credibility in alot of moments in his story. This is a reporter not a journalist. A biased reporter. So it isn't worth anything what he said.
Seymour Hersh doesn't know anything. In fact, he is a compulsive liar. That's also why he stammers and stutters all through the interview.
@@FidgetyGuy take your time to proof him wrong lol
@@FidgetyGuy Cognitive Dissonance much?
@@Cheesecake99YearsAgoLet's start with Iran. Seymour Hersh published an article in the New Yorker entitled “Iran and the Bomb: How Real Is the Nuclear Threat?” His answer: not very. There exists no “irrefutable evidence of an ongoing hidden nuclear-weapons program in Iran,” Hersh asserted, relying upon the words of anonymous “intelligence and diplomatic officials.” Hersh concluded with a quote from Mohamed ElBaradei, who had retired as director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) two years earlier: “During my time at the agency,” ElBaradei said, “we haven’t seen a shred of evidence that Iran has been weaponizing, in terms of building nuclear-weapons facilities and using enriched materials.”
Seymour is spot on the whole story. It’s so funny that some media is expecting him to expose his sources. Investigative journalist won’t work like that. They will keep their sources confidential at any cost. It’s a basic fact of journalism
Prosperity to Abyssinia ❤
sure, but to publicly make such accusations based on hearsay?
@@taylorhickman84 what else is he supposed to do? He can't exactly reveal his anonyamous source, that would be stupid. I agree that much of what Hersh is claiming seems more like speculation, since we don't know who or what his source is. But his claims are much more reasonable than what the media is saying, as well as what the US government is saying. He has also exposed the US goverment several times now so he is both credible and experienced.

Wow, I just watched the 1991 Sally Jesse Raphael episode on RUclips with Amy Goodman. It was about the first Gulf War of what has become more sequels than the Rocky Franchise. Amy Goodman was a guest on the show. Everybody was so much younger and I remember it like yesterday. It's funny how time flies and things never change.
When Biden came out and said they would do it, it was obvious they did it
Stopped Putin as if he were a creepy handing out poison-candy. Putin weaponized energy for Europe, but the lynch mob herald run by Bland and Hersch want to deflect from this.
The dogs on the streets knew it.
Its US gov. What else to expect. Same issue with previous war. Also US here & there.
First time in Bidens life he told the truth about something.
Thank you Amy for timestamp 5:32. Poland's former foreign minister Sikorski - who also happens to be a member of the EU Parliament and the husband of Anne Applebaum - thanked the USA for the explosion on September 27, 2022 in a series of since-deleted tweets. It's baffling to me that no one else in US media has been talking about this.
So why will u do that and blame the Russians?
@@jurodiko2388 because the russians started a war...in any case as a European i can tell you we are grateful to the US for making a decision that the EU was too hesitant to do.

Thank you Seymour
Thanks for providing another perspective on this controversy.

I’m glad you covered this in an honest way and didn’t disparage Hersh as other media is doing.
They also had him on after his expose on the killing of bin Laden.
@@bogusmcbogus2637 I agree--however, Hersh has a very spotty record. Whatever he says must be taken with the proverbial "grain of salt."

Hey Rosemarie! Apologies for dropping this here I came across your RUclips channel and I would love to know you better. I'm guessing you must be an honest person, because I always found your comments to be so nice and respectful. If it's okay with you, I'd love to be friend but if it sounds odd or embarrassing in any way please don't embarrass me by replying. Have a wonderful day, and keep sharing!
Mr. Hersh proved to be a prophet, beside he is a brilliant mind journalist. Well done sir! 👏
Simon, we need more people like u
I admire the integrity and the courage of the man. Thank you, Mr. Hersh!
He's a Kremlin stooge. All he has said is some combination of his own anti-American delusion and sponsored Kremlin disinformation. The far Right extremists and the far Left extremists are united in their love of Putin's repressive dictatorship. The sane people see Putin for what he is, a genocidal sociopath.
@@williamhancock8065 Bots like you trying to smear him just adds to my respect to him.
Finally someone from the media is covering this bombshell story
There were a lot of other independent media covering this topic the same day when this report was posted - Feb 8th.
didnt think she would cover this honestly, she's been on a trump tirade for the past 4 years

Seymour Hersh is a true journalist. We need more like him. I thank him for all his reporting. He rules.
True journalism
Respect for Democracy Now for allowing Hersch to speak directly to the public. I wish you would speak out more often and forcefully about Julian Assange's imprisonment.

How are they different than Fox News giving election deniers a friendly platform to spread disinformation? They really aren't. One guy did try to fact check this bullshit but not very vigorously. Giving a platform to liars and kooks to spread their lies is not noble. This is not journalism, it is propaganda. How can you call yourself Democracy Now when you put on Putin admirers? Putin is a brutal repressive dictator that is the antithesis of democracy. Russia is corrupt, opaque, aggressive and repressive and completely lacking the rule of law. I lived in Russia for four years and have been greatly saddened by its transition from mere authoritarianism to totalitarianism. Russians can be sent to prison for fifteen years for making statements that are demonstrably true. And you have guys like Navalny rotting in prison on fabricated charges. Hersh is no hero. At best he is a useful idiot. At worst he is paid to spread Russian disinformation in the West. Either way he is full of shit. Treat him as such.
@@williamhancock8065 is it not possible to see that Putin is a totalitarian murderer and US leadership has corruption as well? It isn't so simple as "good guys vs. bad guys", only fairy tales work that way.
@@williamhancock8065 Real journalism is about getting to the truth without any agenda. It’s sad that this has been forgotten. Instead, with so many people the issue has become not whether something is true or not but whether it supports my position. Fact checkers are essential of course but don’t forget to fact check those who label themselves as debunkers or fact checkers.
They have, maybe listen more regularly?
May God bless Mr Seymour Hersh. His courage and integrity as a journalist and a human being will always be remembered by future generations. He is an inspiration. We are grateful to him.
The Poseidon plane isn´t operative even up to this day, and Russia accuses the UK, so even they don´t give credibility to Hersh, who hasn´t provided a single piece of evidence
He's a useful idiot spreading disinformation for the Kremlin. He has no evidence for any of this. Don't go down this crackpot's rabbit hole like some Q-Anon imbecile.
The suggestion that the US Navy would have "divers jump overboard and plant C-4 explosives" in over 200ft of highly surveilled water is beyond ludicrous. Any upper tier NATO Navy would be considerably more likely to use the safer, more covert capabilities of autonomous submersible drones to pull off an operation of that magnitude.
@@ricowingfield4992 you know nothing about the seals.

Seymour Hersh is a phenomenon of a journalist. Long live, Sy!
Ned Price is a real slime bag. He should be permanently removed from government. The way he lies and obfuscates to me indicates knowledge.
This is why it’s so important to protect free speech and not allow government to censor whatever they deem “misinformation”
Free speech is already forbidden in french mainstream media, and the french people have to look somewhere else for honest information. Thank you Mr Hersh to restore the truth.

Exactly! We don't want, and cannot allow, the kind of state-run media [covert or plainly out in the open] like what they have in China (or even in Canada--as all the Canadian MSM are state-funded, right?!)
Thank you for having an in depth interview with Seymour Hersh so we could hear it from "horses mouth". He's one of the few journalists still around who are committed to getting the truth out to the masses.
I applaud his efforts and am grateful for his tremendous courage and tireless work.

it's in-depth based off of one source?? OK! Go subscribe to his substack, that is basically all this piece was about. Seymour needs more money and subscribers and wrote a sensationalist piece with NO FACTS and no sources. Just speculation and one source. But sure, it's "in-depth" journalism LOL

@@LetYahArisee I'm not upset about anything. Believe whatever nonsense you want. I won't stop fact checking.
14:00 in where he talks about how they used the cover of an exercise to plant the bombs, reminded of when they played a hand in blowing up London busses in the UK, to convince the public to want to invade Iraq to fight "terrorism", Anybody unfamiliar with that it tied into 911, and the Uk was wavering on the war in Iraq to kill Saddam and his weapons of mass destruction, those terrorist attacks which most people dont realize, took place the exact same day ("coincidentally") as the police ran a drill to find bombs on london busses, a few reported at the time how it seemed suspect, that an exercise took place that was exactly what the terrorist got blamed for doing. entire thing smacked of Mossad/CIA/MI5/6 all over it. the expression "as thick as thieves" should be renamed to as thick as "spies" their all in bed with each other for the same agenda, world domination, and depopulation of humans. The eugenists and rulling classes despise the working class and poor, and with finite resources, theyd rather exterminate/starve or poison 5 or 6 billion, especially the "foreigners" and coloureds, and the useless eaters the poor. People think the Mafia got destroyed, but their playbook and those they didnt catch just became assets and powerplayer tools of the NSA/CIA as CEO's.
I hope Mr. Hersh is in safe hands. We all know what happens to courageous individuals who goes against the US government.
Yeah, WE ALL know what would happen to Hersh if he criticized the Russians. He'd suddenly FALL OUT A WINDOW. Don't see Biden pushing him out a window. I guess you prefer that Trump scoundrel just handing Ukraine over to Putin? So much more peaceful to just let Russia attack anyone they want. Know what would happen to those separatists if they pulled that BS in the states? If they love Russia and their EVER SO FREE country, maybe they should all move to Russia. I hear its lovely in WINTER! Who's next on Putins list? Poland? Moldavia? You folks act like Putin is an innocent nice old grandpa! The guy is scum!

Don't worry Amy and co will quickly go back to the CIA stenography
Biden is American Osama Bin Laden, but how to bring him to justice as he is surrounded with American military? Starting war against the terrorist state as it was before with Fascist Germany is not feasible. On the other hand Senate and other legislations are not going to do anything to remove that criminal from power. Only American military can remove this shame from the country if they remove by force the guy who has brought that shame on the country.

Why he has a theory, who cares why it blew up
I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for globalist oligarchs. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.”― Smedley D. Butler, War is a Racket , a short book and speeches written in 1935.
