Hersh: Cheney Ran SS-Style Political Assassination Unit


Vice-President had his own military hit squad that carried out executions abroad

Award-winning investigative reporter Seymour Hersh dropped another bombshell this week when he revealed that former Vice-President Dick Cheney had his own SS-style political assassination unit that reported directly to him.
Hersh told a University of Minnesota audience on Tuesday, “After 9/11, I haven’t written about this yet, but the Central Intelligence Agency was very deeply involved in domestic activities against people they thought to be enemies of the state. Without any legal authority for it. They haven’t been called on it yet.”
Hersh then went on to describe how the Joint Special Operations Command was an executive assassination unit that carried out political`assassinations abroad. . “It is a special wing of our special operations community that is set up independently,” he explained. “They do not report to anybody, except in the Bush-Cheney days, they reported directly to the Cheney office. … Congress has no oversight of it.”


The revelation that Cheney had his own private assassination unit is not too far removed from Hitler’s notorious SA (Sturmabteilung), the much feared para-military wing of the Nazi party who were used to beat, torture and kill political opponents of the Nazi party in 1930’s Germany and the Waffen SS, who were later used in the war to carry out executions and war crimes.

The SA were later targeted by Hitler during the Night of the Long Knives, a brutal purge to eliminate political adversaries both inside and outside of the Nazi party. Hundreds of people were executed in cold blood by the Gestapo and the SS.
Tellingly, German courts and cabinet quickly swept aside centuries of legal prohibition against extra-judicial killings to demonstrate their loyalty to Hitler. The Waffen SS was deemed beyond prosecution despite it blatantly being involved in egregious and ongoing war crimes, as well as domestic assassinations.
The Joint Special Operations Command, Cheney’s assassination unit, is also described as an area of ‘extra-legal’ operations.
“It’s an executive assassination ring essentially, and it’s been going on and on and on,” Hersh stated. “Under President Bush’s authority, they’ve been going into countries, not talking to the ambassador or the CIA station chief, and finding people on a list and executing them and leaving. That’s been going on, in the name of all of us.”


And it’s still going on. None of Obama’s reversals of Bush executive orders say anything about abolishing the Joint Special Operations Command. Indeed, the specialist unit is an integral part of Obama’s vastly expanded bombing raids and other incursions in Pakistan.

Well, if what Hersh says is true; then why didn't Cheney use his SS assassination hit squad to really take care of any Democrat that ran for President against McCain?

Whats the point of being compared to Hitler, and having an Assassination hit squad, if you don't use them to set up the Fourth Reich.

Where are the names of the dead bodies Cheney ordered to be assassinated?

Wonder when last Hersh said anything about overpopulation? Guess he is one of those newspaper reporters that either thinks the earth is flat and population growth and economic growth can go on forever and ever, Amen; or he is one of the gutless cowards who ain't got teh balls to make connections between causal events and their consequences; he's one of those journalists who prefer the agenda setting process which keeps population issues clearly OFF THE AGENDA as a causal factor. SO HE PREFERS TO DENY REALITY, AS TO THE CAUSAL FACTORS OF THE ISSUES HE REPORTS UPON!!! And wants me to take him seriously!

“But the agenda-setting process seems useful only if we consider what the media do place on the agenda. This study shows that agenda-setting may have a dark side, when we consider what the media do not cover. To generalize from this study, it seems likely the media have a blind spot regarding the basic layers of multilayered causality. The deep causes that drive daily events remain off the agenda. Certainly this is the case with population growth, but such causal dissociation may keep many other deep-seated causes of social problems off the agenda.”

I of course don't agree with an assassination hit team killing anyone. This outlines the fascism of Richard Cheney.
