I believe Hersh. He has a ton of credibility to me. I would be shocked if the establishment dems and the big money guys weren't panicking after the debate. Its interesting to read the stories he is sharing.
I wonder how many people learn of how they have been deceived by his handlers and their party and then proceed to forget the next time around.

He was unafraid about Nordstream, and caught unwarranted criticism by those who questioned his abilities and integrity.

Yeah, it seems like he kinda brew his establishment cred before that. I can't recall what it was but no matter who you are if you go against the machine they come after your rep.
It really is so obvious once you see it.

The article describes the events surrounding the My Lai massacre during the Vietnam War on March 16, 1968. U.S. Army soldiers from Charlie Company, led by Lieutenant William Calley, killed hundreds of unarmed Vietnamese civilians in the village of My Lai 4[1].
Key points from the article:
  1. Helicopter pilots witnessed numerous bodies scattered throughout the village and in irrigation ditches[1].
  2. The Army's Criminal Investigation Division concluded that Charlie Company had killed 347 Vietnamese men, women, and children in My Lai 4[1].
  3. Despite widespread evidence of murders throughout the company, only Lieutenant Calley was found guilty of any crime related to the attack[1].
  4. The article suggests that the My Lai 4 massacre was not the only one carried out by American troops in Quang Ngai Province that day[1].
  5. There were attempts to cover up the extent of the massacre, with military officials withholding important information from the public[1].
  6. The article also mentions a separate massacre at My Khe 4 by Bravo Company, where estimates of civilian deaths ranged from 60 to 155[1].
The piece provides a detailed account of the events, including the actions of various military personnel and the subsequent investigations and cover-up attempts.
