Seymour Hersh evidently was loaded for bear, as he prepared for the possibility of a servile media attempting to stonewall his Feb. 8 charges, of US President Biden ordering the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines. He had stated then that he had more material – and yesterday he let loose with a second round.

His new substack posting, “From the Gulf of Tonkin to the Baltic,” relates that the “Norwegian Navy has a long and murky history of cooperation with American intelligence.” In early 1964, Norway provided the CIA special, heavily-armed but fast boats, along with Norwegian captains and crew to train US and Vietnamese sailors, for a long-running series of clandestine coastal attacks upon North Vietnam, directed by the CIA and controlled by the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Washington. This is based, again, upon Hersh’s source “within the intelligence community.” The secret actions were the prelude, over several months, prior to the North Vietnamese confronting US destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin. The rest is, as they say, history.
