Times Link


Journalist's Substack Link

So the CIA got some navy dive boys out of panama, planted some bombs from a new norwegian sub base, and detonated them remotely by dropping a c2 sonobouy from a P-8 a few days later

did our government set off the Turkey earthquake, too?

All I know is that crawfish prices went up at the same time as this explosion.

lol shocker CIA has been the covert leader in undersea spy ops since the 60's, we were ahead in tech then and it hasn't stopped, to think they have the Halibut version 2023. Also wouldn't poke that bear unless they want another missing soviet sub.

Doesn't the CIA typically shut down this type of factual reporting?

That's not just any hack "reporter" either. It's living legend Seymour Hersh.

Tigerdoc assured us that the CIA is nothing but a group of virtuous boy scouts who do nothing but good for the world

The Times is a UK-based newspaper.

And the guy is only using an "anonymous source", which was routinely joked about on the PoliBoard during anti-Trump reporting during the Trump presidency.

To be clear, The Times is not reporting it...simply covering the story Hersh put out on his Substack.

We have an 85 year old journalist looking to make a name for himself again before he dies.

In your opinion, is it impossible for the CIA to do such a thing?

Our government is fighting WW3 in the shadows. What were they doing on January 6th, 2021 in the Artic circle?

Can we just fricking get rid of that piece of shite federal bureaucracy?

They're the cause of most of the instability around the world.

I was told in the Warhawk thread that it wasn’t true, back when the feds in the thread were saying otherwise.

CIA and USN are both capable. I don't know why we would use civilian CIA operators other than plausible deniability.

Nordstream sabotage would have been a perfect mission for SEALs

The Times is reporting that Seymour Hersh says that he has an anonymous source that is telling him this.

In his report on Nord Stream, Hersh has quoted an anonymous source


Hersh has been very good at times, more recently not so much.
