Independent journalist Lara Logan’s report on the “accident” is very different from the reports in the mainstream media.Here’s what Logan had to say about the cargo ship’s “accident” with the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore:Multiple intel sources: The Baltimore bridge collapse was an “absolutely brilliant strategic attack” on US critical infrastructure – most likely cyber – & our intel agencies know it. In information warfare terms, they just divided the US along the Mason-Dixon line, exactly like the Civil War.The second busiest strategic roadway in the nation for hazardous material is now down for 4-5 years – which is...
