I definitely believe the U.S. blew up the #Nordstream pipelines, but I’m not taking Sy #Hersh’s reporting as gospel. Here’s why:
I still remember how easily taken in Hersh was by Lex Cusack and his forged #JFK papers (the source did 10 years in prison)! washingtonpost.com/archive/lifest…

To refresh your memory of that 1997 Sy Hersh fake #JFK papers shitshow, here’s the 60 Minutes interview with his source, the fraudster Lex Cusack.
Hersh declined to be interviewed.
Hersh declined to be interviewed.
Hersh admitted in the Washington Post interview that he “wanted the story to be true,” and it clouded his judgement.
That’s a dangerous trap for a journalist; it’s why Hersh failed to authenticate the documents.
Of course those dollar signs in his eyes also clouded his vision

This is why I wish a trustworthy journalist other than Sy Hersh had broken this Nordstream story, a writer who is above reproach, with a track record of accuracy and integrity.
To many of us #JFK researchers who remember his past fails, Hersh lost our respect a long time ago.

That being said, I hope that Hersh’s Nordstream article does check out — and that he has inspired other journalists to start digging into this important story, whether to prove him right or prove him wrong.
The story itself is too big to dismiss. We need many reporters on it!

Of course you don’t really have to take Seymour Hersh’s word for it.
Take this guy’s word for it! 👇🏽
