Seymour Hersh: raid which killed Osama Bin Laden in 2011 is “one big lie”
Pulitzer-prize wining journalist slams “pathetic” US media for failing to challenge White House

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh says that the raid which killed Osama Bin Laden in 2011 is “one big lie” and that “not one word” of the Obama administration’s narrative on what happened is true.

In a wide-ranging interview published today by the Guardian, Hersh savages the US media for failing to challenge the White House on a whole host of issues, from NSA spying, to drone attacks, to aggression against Syria.
On the subject of the Navy Seal raid that supposedly resulted in the death of the Al-Qaeda terror leader, Hersh remarked, “Nothing’s been done about that story, it’s one big lie, not one word of it is true.”
Hersh added that the Obama administration habitually lies but they continue to do so because the press allows them to get away with it.
“It’s pathetic, they are more than obsequious, they are afraid to pick on this guy [Obama],” Hersh told the Guardian.
The raid that supposedly led to Bin Laden’s death has been shrouded in mystery for over two years. Speculation that the Obama administration may have embellished or outright lied about the true account of what happened has persisted, mainly because the White House has refused to publicly release images of Bin Laden’s body.
Although the White House said the corpse was immediately “buried at sea” in line with Islamic tradition, it quickly emerged that this was not standard practice.
Numerous analysts have claimed that Bin Laden had in fact been dead for years and that the raid on his alleged compound in Pakistan was little more than a stunt.
Other questions also persist, such as why the narrative and timeline of the raid has changed multiple times, why the White House initially claimed that “situation room” photos showed Obama watching the raid live when in fact there was a blackout on the live feed, and whyneighbors in the immediate area surrounding the compound said with absolute certainty that they had never seen Bin Laden and that they knew of no evidence whatsoever to suggest he lived there.
During the rest of the Guardian interview, which is well worth reading in its entirety, Hersh lambastes the corporate press and particularly the New York Times, which he says spends “so much more time carrying water for Obama than I ever thought they would.”
Hersh’s solution is to shut down news networks like NBC and ABC and fire 90% of mainstream editors, replacing them with real journalists who are outsiders and not afraid to speak truth to power.
“The republic’s in trouble, we lie about everything, lying has become the staple,” concluded Hersh.

Pakistan's Prime Minister Benazir Bhuto spoke on video (I posted it) that Bin Laden was murdered back in 2001.
In order to stop Ms. Bhutto from enlightening the world that Osama Bin Laden was killed as far back as 2001 the USA, Britain and other Illuminati put a contract out on Ms. Benazir Bhutto to have her assassinated by Blackwater. See other article posted on this as well. Bin Laden was dead for many years before Obama was even a Senator let alone President.

You mean to say that our government lied, and that the media simply repeated the lie, and the American people bought it? Why, this is shocking - shocking I tell you! Nothing like this has ever happened before!

Since before I was born, it's all been a lie. That's hard to swallow after devoting half of my life to social activism. Maybe it's time for me disconnect from the system and find some joy & happiness with the time I have left (off the grid)? A lot more folks are waking up, but the wiser part of me believes it's too late. I hope I'm wrong...
The younger generation better have a miracle fucking rabbit to pull out of their hat!
