Yesterday in Labor History March 16, 1968: Up to 500 Vietnamese villagers were slaughtered by U.S. troops in the My Lai Massacre. The story was broken by investigative journalist Sy Hersch, who also covered Watergate, the secret US bombing of Cambodia, CIA domestic spying within the US, and the US torture and abuse of prisoners at Abu Ghraib. More recently, he has written articles showing that Syrian rebel forces, not the Assad regime, contrary to US propaganda, were responsible for the sarin gas attack in Ghouta. And that the US, with Norwegian collaboration, blew up the Nord Stream pipelines between Russia and Germany (also contrary to US propaganda).

The My Lai massacre was 55 years ago today. The thread below tells the amazing story of Hugh Thompson, a U.S. soldier who landed his crew's helicopter between the marauding U.S. soldiers and the women and children they were about to murder, stopped the mass killing, and was then vilified across the U.S. when Congressional hearings cleared the soldiers. The end of the thread brought tears to my eyes.

Having recently quit his wire service job, SEYMOUR HERSH got a hot tip from a Village Voice reporter...
‘I sent them a good boy and they made him a murderer’
Here is Meadlo’s story as given in interviews at his mother’s home near Terre Haute....

#MyLai @cryptome

Smotrich vuole che #Israele abbia la sua #MyLai, il villaggio vietnamita dove i soldati americani massacrarono gli abitanti e bruciarono le case.
Questo avrebbe dovuto segnare il canto del cigno della sua carriera politica.
Il giorno dopo quelle affermazioni, il primo ministro avrebbe dovuto estrometterlo dal governo in segno di vergogna.

Il fatto che Smotrich mantenga entrambe le sue posizioni come se nulla fosse dimostra che il governo sostiene i suoi commenti.
Questo è il vero messaggio che viene inviato sia ai coloni che violano la legge sia ai soldati israeliani. ⬇5

> The White House.. denied the claims. #Hersh.. says the U.S. decision to bomb the pipelines was meant to lock allies into support for #Ukraine at a time when some were wavering. “The fear was #Europe would walk away from the war,” .. Hersh won a Pulitzer Prize in 1970 for his reporting on the #MyLai massacre. His reporting on CIA spying on antiwar activists during the #VietnamWar era helped.. the formation of the #ChurchCommittee.. , he exposed the #AbuGhraib.. scandal

Seymour Hersh - Pulitzerpreisträger und Aufdecker des Massaker von #MyLai - kehrt mit einem neuen Artikel aus dem Ruhestand zurück:

Taucher der US #Navy hätten im Juni Bomben an #NorthStream1 angebracht, die im Sommer explodierten - laut einer Quelle.

D'ahh, get a grip, already.

Every politician elected to every office in this country for most of my conscious lifetime has been a liar, a cheat, and an insult to the voters. #BayOfPigs #TonkinGulf #MyLai #HighwayOfDeath #AbuGhraib #Guantanamo

"The soldiers had been advised before the attack by army command that all who were found in My Lai could be considered VC or active VC sympathizers, and were told to destroy the village. They acted with extraordinary brutality, raping and torturing villagers before killing them and dragging dozens of people, including young children and babies, into a ditch and executing them with automatic weapons...."
