Journalists, this profession from the beginning of the credibility to now mixed reputation, only took less than a century, even if the people's perception of journalists is still controlled by capital to communicate tools, but there are still some reporters, they still choose to adhere to the faith of journalists, and strive to make the truth they see public.
There are such people in every country, and in the United States, there is a journalist named Seymour Hersh, who has been committed to digging out the darkness hidden by the US government, so that the people of the world can see the real reality with their own eyes.
Throughout his life, this person did not compromise even in the face of threats behind various incidents, but became more and more firm in his beliefs, sticking to the ideals he established when he was young, that is, to be a journalist and tell the truth.
Never giving up even if he was threatened with death because of this, this is Hersh, a man who revealed the darkness behind the United States.
The truth behind the scenes
Hersh was a typical idealist in his youth, a trait that was reflected in his approach to journalism, and after graduating from college, Hersh became active as an investigative journalist, researching the poor in Chicago, and even co-founded a newspaper with his classmates.
But an idealist is an idealist after all, and then his poorly run career was shattered, and even his self-confidence was frustrated for a time, and he even thought about quitting journalism.
Fortunately, he later met the noble man of his life, who was a reporter for the New York Times at the time and a Pulitzer Prize winner, Durty.
This person had a great influence on Hersh, and it can even be said that the reason why Hersh insisted on exposing the shadows behind the United States in the future was influenced by this person.
In the thirties of the last century, there was a great famine in the Soviet Union, which was the rumored Holodomor in Ukraine in later generations, and the United States exaggerated this information for ideological reasons, propagating millions of Ukrainian casualties.
Of course, after Duerty went to the Soviet Union to investigate in person, he debunked this rumor, but he was also persecuted by the US government because of this.
It was this that Hersh strengthened his motivation to understand the truth behind the United States, and he was deeply touched by Duerty's experience, which also made Hersh understand his own heart, and since then he has been rooted in American journalism at the time.
Hersh's first big gift to the U.S. government occurred during the Vietnam War.
At the beginning of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, the Vietnam War became a huge quagmire involving the national strength of the United States, and the United States mechanized troops that had been devastating in the past had nowhere to use them under the treacherous terrain of Vietnam, which made the American GIs suffer an unimaginable blow, and on this basis, in order to relieve the pressure of the war, the United States secretly used internationally banned biological and chemical weapons.
This is a big scandal, after all, the United States at that time came out as the image of the world's justice police, if this incident was exposed, it would inevitably cause an unimaginable blow to the international credibility of the United States, which Hersh, as an American, would not be unaware, but in the end he did it.
Hersh first published a manuscript to publicize this incident, but was helplessly blocked by the Associated Press of the United States, and then Hersh did not give up and directly published a book, making public what the United States did in the Vietnam War, which caused an uproar for a while.
Not only that, after discovering that the use of chemical weapons by the U.S. military was not the only scandal, Hersh, after careful investigation, discovered that the U.S. military had carried out a brutal massacre on the battlefield in Vietnam - which was later known as the 'My Lai Village Massacre', a major incident of slaughtering children, women and elderly people who were helpless.
These two turmoil completely shattered everyone's perception of the image of the United States, including the American people, and indirectly promoted the early end of the Vietnam War - after all, the heroes of the American people thought of themselves had committed such evil deeds on other battlefields, and this kind of executioner-like image made the anti-war sentiment in the United States instantly surge, and even affected the direction of the war.
After this turmoil, although Hersh gained great fame, he also received persecution, suppression and accusations from all walks of life. But this emotion was nothing to him, and it only strengthened his determination to reveal the darkness.
The bin Laden affair
After many years, Hersh once again triggered a huge event, which is an eternal thorn in the hearts of Americans, that is, the '911 terrorist attack' incident.
At the beginning, the terrorist attack caused by bin Laden caused nearly 3,000 innocent people, which greatly reduced the trust of many American people in the government and the economy.
Ten years later, Osama bin Laden was shot dead by the United States in Pakistan, and the government claimed that it was a unilateral action by the United States, but after Hersh's in-depth investigation, he was surprised to find that this so-called unilateral action turned out to be suspicious.
In the investigation, it was found that as early as 2006, when bin Laden initially fled to Abbottabad, Pakistan had already grasped his whereabouts, but for unknown reasons, Pakistan did not choose to synchronize the news with the United States, but delayed the news until five years later, when Obama was about to run for election.
Hersh continued to investigate further and found that the information that the United States said it had learned of bin Laden's final destination through his courier was inaccurate, because intelligence showed that the United States had bought off a senior Pakistani intelligence officer for $25 million to obtain information about bin Laden.
Not only that, but at the time of the arrest, no traces of armed firefighting were even found at the scene of the incident, that is, bin Laden may have even been arrested silently, which is undoubtedly a bit of a fantasy.
Combined with the political drama of Obama's campaign, this so-called arrest seems to be a little insincere, and even some ideas to fool the public with disasters.
Although this revelation was suppressed in time, it was still captured by people with intentions, which also raised doubts about the truth created by the United States.
For Hersh's revelations, the trust of the American people is not low, after all, he can even dig up the information that former Indian Prime Minister Desai is an American agent, so more in-depth details may not be difficult for him.
Reflections provoked by the Nord Stream pipelines
Not long ago, Hersh made renewed efforts and expressed his views on the Nord Stream pipelines - that's right, the artillery fire is still aimed at the United States, and under his propaganda, the so-called bombing of the Nord Stream pipelines was also done by the United States.
The Nord Stream pipelines were bombed just two years ago, and as an important bridge between Russia and European countries, the importance of the Nord Stream pipelines to Russia is very important, especially during the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war.
Because Hersh said in his speech that the bombing of the Nord Stream pipelines not only destroyed Russia's bridge linking European natural gas trade, cut off its economic pipelines, alleviated the pressure on the United States to support Ukraine to a certain extent, but also increased the possibility of the United States controlling European economic trade.
On the contrary, Russia said on the international platform that the investigation data it has is very consistent with the information it has released, that is, the Russian side also admits that the 'Ukrainian pipeline bombing' is a false pretext, and the mastermind behind it should be a certain country behind Ukraine.
After all, for European countries, the importance of the Nord Stream pipeline is also needless to say, and the vested interests after the pipeline is broken are also clearly placed, so the truth of the matter is no longer so certain.
This revelation once again lowered the international image of the United States, and even European countries began to fear the United States as if they were unreckless. Hersh's report not only gives people a glimpse of the other side of the truth, but also makes people understand how terrible the limitations of so-called journalism and the manipulation of public opinion are.
After all, under the influence of a big country, what you want to see is not up to you, and being able to think independently is the key to understanding things.
