As you likely have understood, there's a Biden-enforced blackout on Sy Hersh and his exposé on what really happened to the Nord Stream pipes.
Independent media are covering it, so is Fox, but no one else.
The sporadic pieces you find through web searches, when coming from the Fake News media, are going to be hit pieces. You can know that.
But, as anyone familiar with the Sy Hersh name can know, Sy does his due diligence like few reporters ever.
He was asked if he considers himself 'old school', and his response was 'ancient school'.
'Read before you write', he says. He can take a long time before going public with anything, and his standards are high, higher today than almost anyone.
So if Sy Hersh publishes something, you can know. We'll have a section here that gives you a bit of background on Sy.
And although the western media have been ordered to remain silent - and that omertà remains in place at time of writing - the alt media shook things up a bit. So we'll have a number of their pieces as well.
But to start things off, for those who think this is not important news, we thought we'd begin with a dull episode of As The World Turns.
For that's what our world does. It turns. And, to those who are indifferent to these events and the fate of our planet, that's mostly all that happens. This is an old one, so harken back and enjoy.

Back to adulthood. Here's the Hellenic Twins with Jeffrey Sachs. They’re discussing the ramifications of the Hersh piece. This is only half an hour and is highly recommended.

A Nuland Original
'What do you think?' 'I think we're in play.'
The original Nuland-Pyatt conversation planning the Kiev coup in 2014.
Note that the name ‘[Jake] Sullivan’ pops up. Note how Nuland reminds Pyatt 'you need Biden'.
Progressive? Please don't say progressive. Particularly not with fervour in your voice. Progressive has become a dirty word. Glenn Greenwald knows. Tulsi Gabbard knows. Progressive is what Bill Clinton took to Wall Street and Raytheon. Progressive is only a progression to World War 3. And, as mad as that sounds, that's what they're doing. They're in a rage, repeating the same failed experiment over and over again, hoping for a different result.
That's what's so good about America First MAGA. You don't have to like their lifestyle. That's their business. But their business, dating back to Woodrow Wilson over 100 years ago, today includes shutting down those 800 military bases in three quarters of the countries on the planet, bringing all those people home, and getting back to the land - to MAGA country. To tilling the garden, to living the life, instead of bombing people to democracy and freedom. No matter where you live, that's got to be good tidings.

Portrait: Sy Hersh
Sy Hersh is probably the most revered investigative journalist in the world. He's still going strong at 85.
Here he is with Amy Goodman taking about Nixon.
Charlie Rose 1997
Perhaps a high point in this article. Sy and Charlie get into an occasional heated discussion about his book 'The Dark Side of Camelot'. You start to understand the greatness of the man. Format is everything.
CBS: The Legendary Seymour Hersh
Ah the golden age of journalism. How would he describe what he sees today?
Amanda's and Kari's Good Friend (and Susanna)
'I'm glad this is not in America.' 'They so underestimate Trump!'
Back with Amy 2016
'She said "we came we saw he died" with a laugh.'
teleSUR 2016
In two parts. 'People don't do homework like they should.'

Here’s the link again. Sy not only digs well, he writes well.
And please understand the ramifications of what Biden did. Ask yourself if FDR or JFK would ever have done something like this. The world’s worst ecological disaster ever. An attack on an ally, a fellow NATO member.
Hopefully you understand by now why they (why he) did this. He’s not presidential material. Something many noted years ago. Just last night Tucker and a guest were trying to sum up the SOTU, and two words came to mind.
‘Vicious’ and ‘nasty’. Remember the Sithist Philly address? Something is wrong.
We need to avert a holocaust disaster and worry about our petty political differences later.
Rage
Rage Against the War Machine. Scott will be there but will not be speaking. Some lily-livered people in the movement threatened to ruin it for all. Scott is putting world peace above personal interests. You can read his speech at his site.
