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.

JFK was indeed assassinated over money--specifically, the funny money known as Federal Reserve notes. Kennedy had signed Executive Order 11110 in June of 1963, which would have effectively put the Federal Reserve out of business. You can read more about that here: http://www.rense.com/general76/jfkvs.htm
You're right to say it's all about the money. The military-industrial complex, the corporate-political crime syndicate, and the international banking cartel seized control of the Republic long ago. The System under which Americans have been existing for the past hundred years is not a democracy, but a kleptocracy. What we call "government" is nothing more than a storefront operation designed by the elite for their own benefit. The function of "government" is to rob the public of wealth and political power through taxation, war, market manipulations, embezzlement schemes, and various other unconstitutional chicanery, in order that the elite may get their filthy hands on just about all of it.
The government not only tells lies; the government IS a lie.
There was a reason Kennedy's assassination--the most witnessed murder in history--was carried out in broad daylight for the world to see. It was to send a chilling message to anyone with the bright idea that they could dismantle or seriously challenge The System. It was to say, "Don't fuck with us!"

Yes, I watched it all go down my whole life (corruption 101). I also marched on capital hill and did what I could to help those who seemingly had no voice at all. Run my name in a search engine. I'm just tired of this donkey/elephant show. Yes, I know where the puppet strings attach on both ends.
