💭 ‘Radio War Nerd’ talk to legendary Pulitzer Prize winning reporter Seymour Hersh about his latest bombshell scoop: the United States, on President Biden’s orders, blew up the Nord Stream pipelines that were foundational to Germany’s export economy until last year.
👉 Seymour Hersh to Berliner Zeitung:
💭 I’d make it easier. The people involved in the operation saw that the president wanted Germany to freeze for its short-term political goals, and that appalled them. I am talking here about Americans who are very loyal to the United States. At the CIA it is the case that, as I put it in my article, people work for power and not for the Constitution.
The political advantage of the CIA is that a president who does not get through his plans in Congress can walk with the CIA director in the Rose Garden of the White House to plan something secret that can meet many people on the other side of the Atlantic – or wherever in the world. That was always the unique selling point of the CIA – with which I have my problems. But even this community is appalled that Biden decided to expose Europe to the cold to support a war he will not win. This is nefarious to me.
What is brave about telling the truth? Our job as reporters is not to be afraid. And sometimes it gets ugly. There were times in my life when… – You know, I’m not talking about it. But threats are not made to people like me, but to the children of people like me. There were terrible things. But you don’t worry about it, you can’t. You just have to do what you do.
