Celebrating Cronkite while ignoring what he did

Cronkite's best moment was when he did exactly that which today's journalists insist they must never do.

The letters thread is now closed.

Never mind. You don't like facts and domain knowledge, they fog your big picture.

Never mind the avoidance. I've just had a look at some pictures of Mount Washington. You of course have told us how familiar you are with that very terrain.

Well answer me this ol' timer crampon man. Does it really sound feasible to you that an eagle scout in full Julie Andrews drag hopped for miles around such a place with an incapacitating foot injury singing, "The hills are alive/with the sound/of ankles spraining."

You'd have to be seriously thick to believe such a thing could have ever happened wouldn't you? A scout in Andrews drag with a "Sound Of Music" fetish is of course believable and is probably compulsory for any lad wishing to become an Eagle Scout in America today. A frigging scout swanning around the mountains with a sprained ankle is not.

Edward R. Murrow and Dan Rather

Even though Walter Cronkite died, I am reminded of Edward R. Murrow who died at 57. I listened to him on the radio and remember his voice saying, "This is Edward R. Murrow". Edward R. Murrow, like a lot of McCarthy era people, lost their careers because they stood up for human rights. He died early, but he brought down a horrible era of paranoia of our government that went to the extreme, thinking people were Communists because they stood up for protecting the America they love and didn't cower to the paranoid FBI man in charge of Cointelpro, J. Edgar "paranoid" Hoover.

Today, we have the same kind of paranoia coming out of the former G.W. Bushes Cointelpro wanna be program; only it's not coming out of the FBI. This time, it's coming out of a place called the Pentagon, who along with their CIA paranoids, think everybody is a terrorist.

I should know. I am a targeted tortured victim of the George W. Bush (both) paranoid regime. If I remember correctly, there was a long time live in male companion lover of J. Edgar Hoover. Did this create the paranoia in Hoover?

Afterall, Hoover was after homosexuals, for one, and he just so happened to be one, living in his super safe.

I tend to believe the two men who ran our country, G.W.s may be of the same personality as J. Edgar, but instead of spying around corners, they are flying the sky of America with their LIP and PEP, Lsser Induced Plasma and Pulsed Electromagnetic Projectile, attacking anyone who may have been in the area of where they snuck off to be with their secret gay lovers.

If I was in the area, I didn't know it, but the paranoia of this Bush DNA gone awry, must have lead to me, a woman the same age as Laura Bush. Perhaps G.W. transferred his paranoia of Laura finding out his secret affairs of the groin, onto me; thus the reason for my extreme torture with weapons that have no color, make no noise and leave no evidence.

Last night, George, even though he is no longer the President and Obama is, cramped up both my legs at different intervals. George Bush is in the most secret closet that no one sees, but that has the door wide open, however, no one seems to want to look. I looked because I wanted to know why he was heavily air surveillancing me and subsequently heavily torturing me. I saw him in the closet having sex with Leolla Mcconnell and Victor Ashe. I would not have looked, had he not been so paranoid and began his own program on the American people. I sincerely believe it's the older geezers, older than him, who are so paranois. He doesn't want the police and military flying all over the place, torturing people with a weapon that cramps, stabs, hammers, chokes and sleep deprives just because he is bisexual.

It is that sick eighty five year old bisexual father of his that calls the CIA every day to find out what the secrets are and if his gay secret is still in the super safe. It is him who wanted this weapon created, using plasma in the atmosphere to torture people and kill them. It was Senior who wanted this weappon made when he was a one year CIA Director and who has a bust of his ass staring you in the CIA Langley, Virginia Headquarters lobby as you enter. Why did this loser get his bust set inside when he was such a horrible Director that they got rid of him after only one year. While I'm on that old geezer in Kenenbunkport, why did they name a nuclear air craft carrier after him who was such a loser of a President, that he couldn't even get renominated to the White House a second term?

Read The Franklin Cover-up by John DeCamp and you will see why this used up old fart wants these weapons torturing Americans. His name is mentioned about twenty five times in a book that is about using teenage boys from an orphanage for a boy pedophile prostitution ring while he was Vice President and President of the United States of America and where the boys were brought to Washington, D.C. for sex purposes and on one boy used who could give details of the White House that no one in the public arena would know.

It was not a witch hunt on G.W. Bush, Sr. It was simply an attempt to uncover a horror that went on at Boys Town Nebraska that involved pedophiles within government and outside government that took advantage of orphans. This orphanage was built one year from the time Offutt Air Force Base was built in 1917 and where the Franklin Cover-up took place.

I would never have discovered this part of American government that was placed in the Super Safe if G.W.'s father had not let loose this torture program on G.W., Jr.'s watch.

I don't care about this old geezer's gay secrets, not does his son, George Walker. George Walker is more angry at his paranoid father than he is angry at me. It is this old ass man who lays with a man forty years younger than him that is the reason for my torture. I don't care if Sr. sues me for character slander. I can sue him for torturing me for the past seven plus years and bankrupt the old ass.
