Yes, George Washington was a spy and a master of deceit. He knew how to create just the right lie, not too big, not too small.

And he knew how to deliver the lie with deceit, for example he would have a suspected turncoat be given the lie as part of a message for delivery to one of his colonels knowing full well the turncoat would be intercepted by the British and thus the lie delivered as planned.

And there is the saying when young Washington was confronted about the Cherry Tree he had chopped down “I cannot tell a lie!”.

So who was the real Washington?

The answer is he was two different people; one to his enemies and another to his American compatriots.

He was a gentleman, full of honor and integrity to his fellow Americans.

To his enemies he was either a dim country bumpkin with no real sophistication or he was the devil incarnate; he decided how he was viewed by others. He allowed which view of him was in play by passing coded messages some of which were designed to be deliberately intercepted.

Master of deceit; master of disinformation; master of strategy; master of psychology; he kept his enemies right where he wanted them to be and thinking what he wanted them to think.

I wish more Americans knew about the person of George Washington. He was indeed the greatest American, and I think will forever be the greatest American. There are thousands of anecdotes about him and each has a lesson.

Considering his service as a British office, including service as a senior American aide to British General Edward Braddock at age 23 and with intelligence on his growth as a man and a politician and figure of power and wealth, that is unlikely.

Washington was a Pisces, as was Sam Houston.

I’ve only met a few revolutionary Pisces, but they get it done when push comes to shove. Rick Perry is also a Pisces.

I’m betting on Cruz, the Capricorn.

Don't forget to mention that you could say with complete honesty "George Washington, the man who could not be killed."

Once while as a surveyor for the British, I forget which tribe of Indians, but Washington and the crew he was with were attacked. Many years later the chief of that tribe meet with Washington, and told him that he sent 5 or 6 of his best warriors to kill him (Washington), but they couldn't, and that their was some kind of aura protecting him, The chief said he seen it himself.

Not to mention during the different battles with the British. In the different British journals, story after story, shots fired, but George was still standing.
