Seymour Hersh on The Killing of Osama bin Laden, with Christian Lorentzen

[@maitlen4021]

A heroic truth-teller. I’m grateful.

[@maitlen4021]

Seymour Hersh has indeed, as he mentions in passing, spent his lifetime fighting lies. The truth ALWAYS matters.

[@eljumaidilbinahmad2464]

Still, there are a few brave hearts there in the US and one of them is Seymour Hersh.

What are we going to do when we no longer have ppl like Hersh to think critically & use experience to find the truth?

[@keithnoneya]

Be like the CCP in China today, or the citizens of Germany of the National Socialist Party, better known then and today at NAZI's, where they had a policy called "Right Speech", we know it in our country as "Political Correctness". It starts with media restricting free speech because it's harmful to society. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya

critical thinking isn’t something that dies out with individual humans. it’s a concept that dates back at least to socrates, that we know of. seymore hersh is amazing, but there are great younger investigative journalists too.

Man i love listening to Seymour, when he goes off on tangents its just the most interesting stuff.

[@troyjgrice]

Not a word from him for several years, reports he died in 01, no pics, no vids, unarmed but killed on sight, body quickly dumped at sea... You have to have gullibility level 10 to accept Big Brother's narrative without question.

[@jjets8775]

I remember the day. I instantly thought it was BS because I had heard he was dead for years. No videos of him, etc. The first thing I thought was, what are they trying to distract from? It was the week Obama had been pressured to release his birth certificate and it was all over the news. Partly, because the released one looked like a modern digital document, not like a bc from the 60s. Bin laden was 'killed at the height of birth certificate kerfuffle.

[@subversivelysurreal3645]

My brain was piqued by recalling Christianna Annapour’s saying, “Bin Laden is living in a house in Pakistan!” A good interrogator a) never lies, and b) ALLOWS people to talk.

[@TheSpiritOfTheTimes]

Hersh's anecdotes are always fascinating, although probably to be taken with a grain of salt and he does need an interlocutor to prevent him from going off on one of his tangents.

[@ColdChicago]

+TheSpiritOfTheTimes nice tangent you just went off on

[@TheSpiritOfTheTimes]

ColdChicago Nah, I can dumb it down further for you: 1. Fascinating stories. 2. Probably half-bullshit. 3. Needs to be steered because these half-bullshit stories get bigger and bigger if someone's not there to keep him in check.

[@ColdChicago]

+TheSpiritOfTheTimes KEEP HIM IN CHECK? EVERY STORY OUT OF THE SIXTIES ET. AL. --VIET NAM, LET ME PUT THIS IN PERSPECTIVE, WAS A LIE. AND YOU WANT SOMEONE THERE TO CHECK?

[@TheSpiritOfTheTimes]

ColdChicago I don't understand what you're raving about. I'm talking about Hersh today, a muddle-headed 80 year old. He has trouble sticking to a story and goes off on tangents if someone doesn't tell him to answer the question posed to him, which has to be restated because he's forgotten it anyway.

[@ColdChicago]

+TheSpiritOfTheTimes just wondering how in a world composed of Wolf Blitzer, Fox News, Megan Kelly,Hannity, O'Wrongly, and the media PANTHEON of imbeciles, and corporate sycophants you can round on Seymour?> Is it the man in the burning house who doesn't like fire trucks and hoses syndrome.... good luck tho you're gonna need it .

[@robertsmart5600]

BS! Osama was never in that house in Abbottabad, he had died of kidney failure months before. The chopper that dropped off the fake Seal team, then took off, blew up after it landed again to pick them up, there are photos of parts of the destroyed chopper. A second chopper arrived that did not land but probably remotely detonated explosive that had been planted in the first chopper that was to take the non existent Osama away from the site? Osama was not buried at sea from a US aircraft carrier!!! The job on Nord Stream 2 was bungled and its string 2 is still operational so the Germans could open it to allow gas into Germany but German foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock who is head of the German Green Party said she doesn't care if her voters freeze, Ukraine is more important. Annalena is not so green if she thinks fracked gas shipped across the Atlantic from the USA is greener than non fracked gas piped from Russia?

OBL had Insulin Dependent Diabetes for many years and the result was as End Stage Renal Disease and Chronic Hemodialysis. He was admitted to the hospital right before the 911 Attacks to get started on Chronic Hemodialysis Dialysis. He was discharged on the 10th of September 2001. He was in Ralwapindi Pakistan and he took two Dialysis machines with him so he couldn’t possibly have directed two plaines to knock down three buildings with a vintage 1999 laptop and a vintage 1999 cellphone and vintage 2001 Internet Architecture. The last real video of OBL was December 27, 2001 and Sanjay Gupta observed that he had had a Right Brain Stroke and Left Hemiparesis. He died on December 11th 2001and several Middle East made note of it and his Obituary was in the Pakistan Times on December 15th.

As a small citizen under the poverty level from what I observed the day the Towers went down. They immediately blamed Osama bin and they were printing his face on money. I saw A very one time short clip of him saying no I did not bomb the towers but I wish I was the one who did and the next day he had claimed responsibility. At the time he had 14 brothers of his 54 brothers and sisters living in America. Not sure but I think they own world bank and world car Kia. And history never talks about the Four gentleman who saved the capital who took the plane down before it hit the capital in Washington, for years nobody said nothing when 13 out of the 15 guys on the plane were from Saudi Arabia and when the towers went down in America the Dubai tower went up in Saudi Arabia. The next miss America was Arabic And yes I did vote for him but Barack Obama‘s middle name is Osama and he’s a Muslim. I have never heard of him before but the powers that be chose him because I would have voted for a Conda Lisa rice Colin Powell ticket way before I would’ve voted for a man I’ve never heard of because as little people we know that you guys are in charge and you are playing us because we are the cows that give you the milk.

[@susanluraschi1400]

So he rambles a bit. So what. Keep up. That's the beauty of the thing. The golden bits are in the interstices of his discourse. Like watching/listening to a talented cook. The precious information are the words of wisdom between, "3 ounces of butter and 2 tablespoons of flour". You can find out the name of the cow who produced the milk that made the butter and how not to overcook the flour, if you listen carefully. Think of a fan, opening up with all those little folds. Use all your ears. He leaves us lots of paths to follow.

[@ulehlud9027]

Perhaps they would if more people actually read and engaged in their own critical thinking. I don't think the U.S. government is terribly worried about "we the people," because most of us are happy with the TV and with the propaganda that makes us feel good, right, strong, special, and most of us are aliterate (can read, but just don't).
