Seymour Hersh: "We've Been Taken Over by a Cult"

As the Senate Judiciary Committee prepares to vote today on the nomination of Alberto Gonzales for Attorney General, we hear a speech by Pulitzer-prize winning investigative reporter Seymour Hersh on torture from Guantanamo to Abu Ghraib to Vietnam.

http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=05/01/26/1450204

Frightening. And right after I read this, I saw the China headline saying the USD is no longer a stable currency. :scared:

19. Thanks for the transcript.
Much easier than watching most video on my dialup. I think what shocks me most is that this neither surprises nor shocks me. :(

8. It's well worth watching
Though he's the absolute king of digressions, they're all fascinating. I wanted to hear more about the soldier who was gradually tattooing her body black, and we never get the end of a couple of his stories. That's why he's a writer and not a performer, and it shouldn't be any other way.

9. US Bombing in Iraq: "welcome to Stalingrad"
Sy also asks how the cult grabbed power! omg Sy... take a look at US Election FRAUD and who owns the Voting machines and you will have your answer.

I also liked how he stated what a fraud the use of the word insurgent is. He said it is not an insurgency the US is fighting the very people they invaded. All of them!

Thanks for the link, it was great (in a scary way) to hear him.

13. Saw it live this a.m. Kinda freaked me out
when he said to sell your stocks and buy property in Italy! I'm sure all the top 1% have already arranged this, leaving the rest of us to clean up the mess after the collapse. I WILL FIND THESE PEOPLE!

14. About the photograph he discussed. Here it is (I think)
Thank you for posting this. I'm listening to it now... :(

The photo... the one about the mother of the female military policewoman's mother who called him about the photos... the part about how her daughter came back totally sick, depressed, strange... how they did indeed make the dogs attack the prisoners. I think this is the photo he's talking about.



There are a few others here that were not shown in the US media.
