As the appointment of George Bush, Sr. demonstrated years ago, Intelligence Agencies have been run by career Ivy Leaguers since the Civil War. I have written her about how they have to bring in Irish and rednecks like Yours Truly when they have to DO something.

The head of the Cuba Desk of the Defense Intelligence Agency is STILL in prison for having been an agent of Castro from day one. Now who could have IMAGINED that a leftist Cuban Harvard graduate could possibly have had more loyalty to Castro than to Middle America?

So now terrorists are shooting helpless little SOLDIERS on bases and helpless little CIA operatives. Like the DIA Castro agent, no respectable conservative can declare any of this anything but startling. You won’t see anyone mention any connection outside of Whitakeronline.org.

On campus it is routine for professors to make it clear that they are liberals and Communists are just liberals in a hurry. It has been well known since the first Soviet Embassy came to the USA that practically its only job has been “recruiting.” “Recruiting, recruiting, recruiting,” the former “diplomats said when interviewed in the 80’s, “always recruiting.”

But according to the myth of Ghost Hunting McCarthyism, fifty years of concentrated recruiting did not succeed ONCE!

We do know as a matter of public record hat the Stasi turned EVERY SINGLE West German agent in the Democratic Republic of Germany. But no respectable conservative will ever asked, when this was mentioned, how it was that only Ghost Hunters would say that A SINGLE US government person was turned.

Of course our brief access to KGB files found the names McCarthy said would be on it. Naturally conservatives never make a point of that when liberals are present. Liberals select their “opponents” well.

When I was at the Voice of America, the Voice of the USSR was ever present. I expected it of course. There was a big media blitz about Soviet alcoholism. The reason they were allowed to talk about this very old phenomenon was that Gorbeczev himself was bitching about it.

It wasn’t exactly a secret. As a person who drank himself into recovery, I felt right at home in Eastern Europe and in Russia before and after the USSR. The ONLY thing that was plentiful was vodka.

While Gorbeczev and American media and even some respectable conservatives talked about runaway alcoholism in the USSR, no Russian under the Soviet version of free speech was allowed to deny it. But the New England crowd at the Voice of America certainly did. The bulleting board was FULL of objections to this slur on the “socialists economics.”

VOA got postcards with signatures from behind the Iron Curtain, praising our efforts. The New England crowd POSTED THEM ON THE BULLETIN BOARDS.

One was from Cambodia. I doubt there is even a record of his disappearance now. In fact, this is the only mention you will ever hear of the fact that he EXISTED.

No one today mentions how the Flower Children set up0 phone backs to inform parents of soldiers in Viet Nam that their son had been killed. The Love Generation, you know. No one knows how many East Germans who tried to escape over what is now that romantic Berlin Wall were arrested or shot from information the Love in Germany found out for them.
