As a fellow journalist and activist during the Vietnam War, I have every respect for Seymour. However, I suspect his good nature is driving his optimism.

My money is on Trump precipitating a global retaliatory war on the US, causing much destruction. He who hesitates is lost, so I long ago launched my part in this war and campaigned for seven years to have a missile base removed from Gulkula, Arnhem Land, Northern Australia; as it happens, successfully. According to reports, it has been abandoned and its replacement is now in Weipa, Queensland.

Why the urgency? US aggression will almost certainly force China to direct pre-emptive missiles to the fifteen unwelcome US military bases in north Australia, seven of these in my Northern Territory (NT). The vaporisation of the missile pad and its stored solid fuel, would result in the prevailing SE wind driving a large cloud of chlorine gas onto the Gove Peninsula killing 4000 innocent civilians. This threat averted, they are now safe.

However, there are six more NT bases to be removed. One of these is home for seven nuclear-armed B52s. These, also, must go. So too, most urgently, must the Darwin City submarine facility, a missile strike on which would detonate ten giant gas tanks one kilometre away, separated only by flat harbour water. This would generate a vast wall of kenetic energy, flattening the CBD, and then radiate out to obliterate the dormitory suburbs and Palmerston residential city.

Meanwhile, three similar missile strikes that will knock out nearby Five Eyes and receiver/sender spy satellite facilities, will cause woodland fires that will incinerate those on the north-western edge suburbs who may have survived the first explosions. Concomitantly, the gas tanks explosion will have generated a large ground-level vacuum as the heat rises, compelling the wall of fire to accelerate to around 200 ks per hour eastwards and convert all survivors to ash.

Depending upon wind direction, the also-vaporised B52 warheads will kill a wide swathe of people in surrounding towns and communities. if this happened today, the westerly wind would carry the radioactive cloud to Brisbane, Sydney, or Melbourne. Trump's destructive window of opportunity to wipe out most of Australia ends in May, wherein seasonal wind change will redirect the radioactive cloud over the Kimberly region to Indonesia.

Am I premature in my judgement? Hardly. Any President who thinks it is fine to invade Greenland, Panama and Canada, is not going to lose a lot of sleep over the loss of Australia; especially as this event was already described in the 2015 Rand Report on War with China, as "acceptable collateral damage". Former Australian Prime Minister, Malcolm Fraser, also believed as much, memorialised in his book "Dangerous Allies".

Why Seymour?

Thank you Mr. Hersh for exposing the crimes and hypocrisy of our government, the self-proclaimed “indispensable nation”

Yes Seymour you are The Man. High five on the substack. You are one of the good Jews. Dare I say great... Hahaha all of this nonsense about Jewish conspiracies demonizing all Jews is absolute bullshit. When people talk about the Italian Mafia does every Italian person in the world get offended? No. I have read so much of your stuff, all good. I loved The Dark Side Of Camelot, about JFK. So I know everyone picks their own battles, but personally, I think the hidden hand of the .00001% banking dynasty and allied criminal super duper rich Jewish families, who have been running the Earth, into the ground for the last coupla centuries, is the main threat that we face today. They killed JFK over Dimona nukes- are you ready to comment on that??? Substack is crucial for breaking down the big stigma taboo that holds us back from getting onto the same page together. Love you bro. https://www.afrocubaweb.com/mossadjfk.htm

Mr. Hersh, the Venezuelan people need your service. We are an unknown country compared with the stories you helped to come to the surface. But we need to recover our liberty and democracy. January 2025 is the month we are going to be in the news, but the legacy media destroys everything they touch, beginning with the truth. There is a woman who is leading the liberation effort against dictator Nicolas Maduro because all men in politics during the last 25 years failed to create enough moral force to fight. By demonstrating how the government used to steal the presidential elections she made possible that the political ratio be now of an astonishing 90/10. She is hiding somewhere in Venezuela because of government treat to kill her. We won the election by a landslide but the elected President had to flee to Spain. Her name is Maria Corina Machado. January 10 is the day everything will happen.

Bravo! Reporting is back, except for the drivel they’re promoting on the site now, to try to appeal to people who use Tik Tok.

Seymour: Why peddle the government lies about 9/11? Those attacks were not perpetrated by 19 barely incompetent Saudis directed by Osama bin Laden. That attack was planned and executed by the CIA, FBI, and MOSSAD to create a false flag excuse to attack and take over 5 Middle Eastern and and two East African countries by the US for the exploitation of their resources.

Thank you for exposing Destruction of NordStream II, and inspiring a generation toward Peace, SEYMOUR HERSH

Climate terrorism should have debuted as the #1 liability within the context of international undersea infrastructure development supposedly targeted by the Biden Administration to create ‘European Vassals of DC’ in complicity with schemes to expand NATO in a proxy war with Russia in Ukraine, and pinching economics as impacts extended throughout Europe in the form of heightened utility bills for every European individual, family, and business as a result of the destruction of NordStream II.

As an Artist, I decry the act of creativity usurped by deconstruction of vital undersea infrastructure that provided enough cheap gas from Russia to be resold at a profit by Germany thus underwriting the prominence of it’s industrial business core where Berlin created sanctuary for Artists. A nefarious impact resulted seemingly through the machinations of ‘deep state master puppeteers’ thrillingly intoxicated by the hubris of hegemonic aspirations of power as if immortal behind the gates of fault wringing Empires of the West. Whistleblowers quantifying whispers of conceits are now activated beyond Elite bubbles adrift in dreams of extinction burst by wild fires, floods, and cyclones. Energy intensified into cyclones traverse across expansive territories as multiple hurricanes transform landscapes once primed for horticultural growth through sustainable aims of self sufficiency, entrepreneurship, tourism, and commerce devastated as heightened climate change threatens global security. Security concerns have been devised as detriments to democracy since before the Emancipation Act or more recently, the Patriot’s Act imposed restrictions on Citizens access to feasible solutions measuring one against another. Just imagine had ‘Climate change preparedness’ been prioritized instead throughput the past three decades (since the fossil fuel industry has been privy to the impacts of the industry on Life, Liberty, and Health since the early ‘60s when Stanford Research quantified the impact)? Ecocide Laws adjusted for implementation beyond the rule of law, but in alignment with international laws can shift the paradigm toward the enforcement of environmental regulations that ensure climate justice in alignment with financial reparations recently passed as a result of COP 29. Nature must come to be recognized as an entity that impacts life expectancy, not just an unqualified force of weather conditions that raise insurance rates.

Let’s cast light on deterrents to human life itself! Humanity’s song is enlivened by our calls for compassion with concern for lives impacted by the weathered compliance of settler colonial modalities in the shadows of climate change denial. Enough propaganda meant to silence a mind into oblivion or coaxed like a genie into a bottle intoxicated by a mirror image of oneself, while effectually funding procurement of weapons to drop as rampant as the bombs dropped on the Innocents in Gaza. Starvation and disease of the Palestinian Peoples has been imploding through the genocidal vision of an Anti-Christ War Criminal in the apartheid state of Israel. Over 170 Journalists have been killed within the walls of an outdoor prison under surveillance and siege of a scorched earth campaign amidst the ethnic cleansing of Palestine. Some reported updates such as, “The air smells of the death of martyrs , the chalky white dust of phosphorus burning flesh to the bone under the rubble. Many survivors of whom maintained phone contact with loved Ones as lives were spared, immobilized by disability or until their last breath. Community volunteer rescuers worked tirelessly amidst continued bombing of residential schools and hospitals without tools or equipment to provide adequate support”. As social media exposed the terrorism of Netanyahu’s Reign of Abuse in Palestine expanded to Lebanon funded by American Tax Payers, and again now U.S. incited violence in Syria, be reminded of the genocide encapsulated in the formation of the Union. See the violence echoing through seven generations of First Nation Tribes on Turtle Island. Question authority without fear of reprisal as unity consciousness expands throughout the universe. From a Locals perspective on the coast, “One People, One World, One Love, Ride Out, Be The Wave.”

Can you please comment on the contradiction between your reporting that the US intelligence community destroyed the Russian Baltic pipelines and the reporting in the Wall Street Journal that Ukrainians destroyed it?

Which story is accurate and why is the contradicting story inaccurate?

Is the Wall Street Journal story CIA disinformation?

Is it time to correct your reporting or defend it?

Why have you been silent on this?

Anyone honorably retired from Military, Government, the Military Industrial Complex, and/or Private Sector Consulting or Service....is an invaluable advisor and mentor for honest leadership, Research & Development, and Assurance. They almost all--have battle scars to prove it. Let us all Recognize those unsung Heroes around us--and hold them close in times of trouble.
