During the later portion of a phone-call, by the world’s greatest investigative journalist,
Seymour Hersh, Hersh has now presented “a narrative [from his
investigation] of how that whole f**king thing began,” including who
actually is behind the ‘RussiaGate’ lies, and of why they are spreading
these lies.
In a youtube video upload-dated August 1st,
he reveals from his inside FBI and Washington DC Police Department
sources — now, long before the Justice Department’s Special Counsel Robert Mueller will be presenting his official ‘findings’ to the nation — that the
charges that Russia had anything to do with the leaks from the DNC and
Hillary Clinton’s campaign to Wikileaks, that those charges spread by
the press, were a CIA-planted lie, and that what Wikileaks had gotten was only leaks (including at least from the murdered DNC-staffer Seth Rich), and were not from any outsider (including ’the Russians’), but that Rich didn’t get killed for that, but was instead shot in the back during a brutal robbery, which occurred in the high-crime DC neighborhood where he lived. Here is the video, and here is the transcript of it:
—
Seymour Hersh
I’ll tell you what I know:
(Mumble) comes off an FBI report, don’t ask me how, I can figure out, I’ve been around long enough:
The kid gets — I don’t think he [Seth Rich]
was murdered [because of this] I don’t think he was murdered because of
what he knew, the kid was a nice boy, 27, he was not an ITS person, he
learned stuff, he was a data-programmer, but he learned stuff, and so he
was living on one street, somewhere, he was living in a very rough
neighborhood, and in the exact area where he lived, there had been
about, I am sure you know, there had been about 8 or 9 or 10, violent
robberies, most of them with somebody brandishing a gun, and I am sure
you know, his [the kid’s] hands were marked up, the cops concluded
[HERSH SAW THE POLICE REPORT] he fought off the people, he tried to run,
and they shot him twice in the back with a 22, small-caliber, and then
the kid that did it ran, he got scared.
So,
the cops do this, here’s what nobody knows, what I am telling you, now
maybe you do know something about it: When you have a death like that,
DC cops, as you’re [dealing now with a person who is] dead, you
generally don’t zip and go, yep I know, what’s the motive, what’s going
on, you have to get to the kid’s apartment and see what you can find.
If
he’s dead, you don’t need a warrant, but most cops get a warrant
because they don’t know if the guy has a roommate, so they get a
warrant, I’m just telling you, there is such a thing. They go in and
can’t do much with his computer, [to find the] password, the cops don’t
know much about it, so the cops have a cyber unit in DC, and they’re
more sophisticated, they come in and look at it. The idea is maybe he
has had a series of exchanges with somebody who said ‘I am going to kill
you motherfucker’ over a girl, and they can’t get in, the cyber guys
are a little better, but they can’t make sense of it, so they call the
FBI cyber unit.
The
DC unit, the Russian[-monitoring] and field office is a hot-shit unit.
The guy running the Washington field office, he’s like a three-star at
an army-base, he’s ready [mumble], you know what I mean, he’s going to
do a top job. There’s a cyber unit there that’s excellent. What you get
in a warrant, the public information you get in a warrant doesn’t
include the affidavits underlying why you are going in, what the reason
was.
That’s
almost never available, I can tell you that — the thesis of a warrant
as a public document 99% of the time. So they call in the feds, the feds
get through, and here’s what they find [HERSH SAW THE FBI REPORT]. This
is according to the FBI report. What they find is, first of all you
have to know some basic facts, one of the basic facts is there is no DNC
or protected email that exists beyond May 22nd, the last email from
either one of those groups. So, what the report says, is:
(2:50-) At some time in late spring, which we’re talking about in June 21st, I don’t know, just late spring early summer, he makes contact with Wikileaks,
that’s in his computer, and he makes contact. Now, I have to be careful
because I met Julian [Assange] in Europe ten twelve years [ago], I stay
the fuck away from people like that. He has invited me and when I am in
London, I always get a message, ‘come see me at the Ecuadorean’
[Embassy], and I am fucking not going there. I have enough trouble
without getting photographed. He’s under total surveillance by
everybody.
They
found, what he had done, he [Seth Rich] had submitted a series of
documents, emails from DNC — and, by the way, all this shit about the
DNC, you know, was it a ‘hack’ or wasn’t it a ‘hack’ — whatever
happened, it was the Democrats themselves wrote this shit, you know what
I mean? All I know is that, he offered a sample, he sends a sample, you know, I am sure dozens of emails, and said ‘I want money’.
Later Wikileaks did get the password [SETH RICH DID SELL WIKILEAKS
ACCESS INTO HIS COMPUTER.] He had a drop-box, a [password-]protected
drop-box, which isn’t hard to do. I mean you don’t have to be a whiz at
IT [information technology], he was not a dumb kid. They got access to
the drop-box. This is all from the FBI report.
He
also let people know with whom he was dealing, I don’t know how he
dealt, I’ll tell you all about Wikileaks in a second, with Wikileaks the
mechanism, but according to the FBI report, he shared his box with a
couple of friends, so ‘If anything happens to me, it’s not going to
solve your problem’, okay? I don’t know what that means. But, anyway,
Wikileaks got access. And, before he was killed, I
can tell you right now, [Obama’s CIA Director John] Brennan’s an
asshole. I’ve known all these people for years, Clapper is sort of a
better guy but no rocket-scientist, the NSA guys are fuckin’ morons, and
the trouble with all those guys is, the only way they’ll get hired by
SAIC, is if they’ll deliver some [government] contracts, it’s the only
reason they stayed in. With Trump, they’re gone, they’re going to live
on their pension, they’re not going to make it [to great wealth]. I’ve
gotta to tell you, guys in that job, they don’t want to live on their
pension. They want to be on [corporate] boards like their [mumble]
thousand bucks [cut].
I
have somebody on the inside, you know I’ve been around a long time,
somebody who will go and read a file for me, who, this person is
unbelievably accurate and careful, he’s a very high-level guy, he’ll do a
favor, you’re just going to have to trust me, I have what they call in
my business, long-form journalism, I have a narrative, of how that whole
fucking thing began.
(5:50-)
It’s
a Brennan operation. It was an American disinformation, and the fucking
President, at one point when they even started telling the press — they
were back[ground]-briefing the press, the head of the NSA was going and
telling the press, the fucking cocksucker Rogers, telling the press
that we [they] even know who in the Russian military intelligence
service leaked it. All bullshit.
They
were telling. I worked at the New York Times those fucking years,
they’re smart guys, but they’re totally beholden on [to] sources. If the
President or the head of the CIA tells them something, they actually
believe it. I retired at the Times at the end of the Vietnam War 1972,
because they were just locked-in. So that’s what the Times is, these
guys run the fuckin’ Times, and Trump’s not wrong, I wish he would calm
down, get a better press secretary, you know, not be so — Trump’s not
wrong to think they all fucking lied about him. (emphasis added)
UPDATE:
The
media-coverage of this matter is focusing on allegations that Seth Rich
was murdered in order to silence him. All such media-coverage ignores
much of what Hersh said on the phone (where Hersh makes clear that Rich
was, indeed, murdered in a regular robbery), and therefore should be
viewed as an example of what the Washington Post
and others in the mainstream press call ‘fake news’, but which actually
applies to themselves, on both the left and right, above all.
The
purpose of those distorting ‘news’ stories might be a desire, on the
part of both the Democratic Party aristocrats and the Republican Party
aristocrats, to distract the public’s attention away from the far deeper
understanding that drives the “narrative” that Hersh, in that clip, is
describing: rot by the U.S. aristocracy, which controls both of America’s political Parties, to deceive the American public.
The objective is to protect the aristocracy. That’s not publishable; it
is American samizdat. Corruption rules America. The public do not. This
fact is what Hersh is describing in his “narrative.”
