Hersh slams US media, says ‘not one word’ of White House bin Laden narrative is true

The simple fact is, that was just a very good cosmetic make-up job done of the real Osama bin Laden, for the purposes of the posed photograph of his “death”, and he was actually spirited alive out of Pakistan by an elite troop of Black Panthers. Bin Laden now resides in the White Hut basement, just behind the hurricane generator weather machine (which is now mothballed), once used by George Bush and Dick Cheney to steer the Katrina storm over New Orleans.

From this location, Osama (or is it Obama?) is now directing the fight in Syria, which is one of the reasons Obama (or is it Osama?) has been dancing back and forth on the whole Syria question.

In any event, Osama/Obama (we have it on good authority from recorded statements by Ted Kennedy that there is, indeed, a connection between the two) has a vested interest in keeping Seymour Hersh out of the loop, as it gives the story a really deep background that is tough to challenge later on.

Now the discredited Hersh is put in the position of proving the story either right, or the Current Regime may airily dismiss him as “some kind of loon”, a story that would resonate with a broad spectrum of people, of just about every variety of mindsets.

But hey, even a blind pig stumbles onto acorns from time to time.

If the Media were telling the truth Obama would be under the jail.

So would mrs bill and her not-yet-divorced husband, but both they, J.Reno, Sandy Burgler and others are still walking about free to hustle and schmooze to their heart's content.

During all the bailouts of 2009 and 2010, media businesses especially print media businesses lined up with their hands out. I am sure many Freepers can remember what I am talking about.

So how did these failing media businesses manage to survive to today?

We know that a large number of journalists looking for work found jobs under the current White House administration.

On another note, Obama comes up with $300 million to ‘assist’ Detroit. Where did those dollars come from?

Is it possible that Obama came up with $300 million or so to ‘assist’ media businesses that were on the brink?

Is their a payoff to the media that keeps them so solidly in the Obama camp? How else can this irrational loyalty be explained?

I remember the favorable bias of the media in the time of Clinton. I remember the incessant bashing of GW Bush. But I have never seen the lockstep marching of the national media behind their dear leader of today.

Even the left knows nobody in the Whitehouse is held accountable. The lie travels halfway around the world before the truth can get it’s boots on.

The left knows that whatever they say will be available from internet search engines forever. Because of this they say whatever they want regardless of the truth. Every time their lies are publicized for a few hours or days before being exposed, the left is happy anyway. Newspaper retractions in tiny print at the bottom of page 2 were bad enough, but the staying power of the internet is much more damaging.

“left-leaning Seymour Hersh, best known for his Pulitzer-winning reporting that exposed the My Lai massacre during the Vietnam War, unloaded on the American news media”
Two things are interesting about the My Lai story. First, with literally hundreds of accredited journalist in country with press rules that enabled reporters to roam about as they pretty much desired it took someone who never left CONUS to break this story which was more or less and open secret in the Americal Division. That says a lot about what a set of lazy sand pounders the fourth estate was in VN. My cousin got me into one of the daily MACV press briefs. Absolutely jammed with reporters who tried to sharp shoot the briefing officer and then picked up copies of the daily press release to rework for their ‘dateline Saigon’ feature.

Second interesting thing about My Lai. When the crap did hit the fan it ended the careers of about every one in the command and staff of the Americals at the time of the event. Except one LTC who was an assistant division g-3, the assistant Ops Officer, in other words the person who pretty much knows everything going on in the division. Who was this fellow who sailed on to many stars, why it was none other than Colin Powell. Does that tell you that someones inside the beltway had bought his soul at that time and Powell moved on comfortable with his Faustian bargain?

No sailors on any aircraft carrier ever saw Osama’s body, (besides the fact burial at sea is not Islamic protocol). No neighbors around Osama’s supposed compound ever saw him there, and of course, no pictures of the body, which would have proved a years worth of bragging.

“It’s pathetic, they are more than obsequious, they are afraid to pick on this guy [Obama],”

-

I am 100% in agreement on this post.

Our entire media is one, groupthink leftist bias machine.

Moreover, OBL was promoted as the master terrorist, and at one time he was a high profile operator. When we run him down he is surfing the web with a driver and houseboy and a couple of wives in his domestic menage. Does that sound like ‘the terror master’ or some duffer who has been put out to pasture. A team of SEALs expected a battle royal instead end up shooting one of his young wives in the arm as she tries to throw herself between people who are obviously going to kill hubby and her aging spouse. That is about the extent of the ‘fierce resistance’ encountered. The real leadership to AQ is mostly unknown and lurks in the Frontier province or is in Peshawar. Zwahari seems to be in charge of a loose grouping of regional actors. The US probably has no better intel about them than it did about Saddam Hussein and his strategic weapons program. All of this was as obvious as the nose on your face about an hour after the official version was broadcast. Interestingly it is not just Obamanators who go ape if you say the emperor is naked on this one. A lot of GOP types get really angry if you say this was a cross between a farce and a joke not a ‘finest hour’ moment and the fight is just starting with these buggers.

Hold on for a tick: With the subjects of Benghazi arms to Syrian Muslims, Fast and Furious, the EPA shutting down half of American electrical power generation, the NSA spying on EVERY American, the impending collapse of the US dollar because of debt-mismanagement, the great possibility of the H7N9 virus decimating mankind, Obama nearly starting a nuclear war over Syria, the total destruction of the American medical system via Obamacare, and the IRS targeting political enemies of the administration.....

....and THIS is what Hersch is upset about???!?

It’s my belief that bin Laden did in fact get splattered on the walls of a cave at Tora Bora. A relative was hastily taken away from the US for DNA samples.

All along we were told that bin laden practiced a perverted form of islam.

That the majority of muslim practiced the religion of peace and bin laden wasn’t one of them, he was a fanatic.

Then after seal team six provided the solution, the White House couldn’t provide a corpse because he was buried at sea in accordance with Islamic tradition of urial before sunset.

Why afford this consideration to bin laden ?
I though he was considered a “bad” muslim ?
Unless
Someone calling the shots thought he deserved this honor

Wondering: Are any members of Seal Team Six that participated in the raid that resulted in the death of OBLaden alive today, or did they all perish in a helo crash in Afghanistan?

Benghazi looks like a hit job, ordered by the POS on ‘rogue’ ambassador Stevens who likely questioned the trans-shipment of advanced weapon systems from Libya to Al Queda Syrian rebels via Turkey.
0-bama supported the Muslim b-hood via funds laundered by the State dept. to Morsi et al in Egypt according to documents released by the new Egyptian regime.
0-bama is the most lawless and malicious president in US history, he will stop at nothing to destroy this country.
