Seymour Hersh’s News Report Banned in U.S., is Finally Confirmed in Turkey

Seymour Hersh’s News Report Banned in U.S., is Finally Confirmed in Turkey

The news-report that the famed investigative journalist Seymour Hersh could not find an American publisher for, and that was consequently published only in Britain, has now been publicly confirmed by a research study into the matter, a study whose findings were made public on October 21st by a committee of Turkey’s parliament and published that day in Turkey’s leading newspaper, «Zaman».

He was advising what’s called by the intelligence-services a ‘false-flag attack.’ Erdoğan wanted a false-flag attack, so as to enable U.S.
