#31. using your characterizations of the “corrupt FBI and media” as a starting point, let me add some real-life anecdotes here about both (as I worked with the FBI as an undercover operative in communist organizations and was an accredited reporter in the US and Vietnam).

The guys from the FBI I worked with were professionals, dedicated agents who worked to defend America from both visible and invisible enemies, both domestic and foreign. I met both when I was undercover. I reported to one of the top counter-intelligence Assist. Directors of the FBI on my findings (which were eventually published by Congress), and the head of the Wash. Field Office of the FBI, now known as Trump Hotel, DC. The latter, a finer man I’ve never met.

I’ve also worked on an Organized Crime Task Force where FBI, DEA and IRS agents, a few under deep cover, risked their lives to bring down John Gotti, the Gambino family, Persico, Gigante, Hoffa, etc. A few were one bullet away from death due to their undercover work. You can learn some of who they were and what they did by watching the old A&E TV shows on organized crime, esp. about John Gotti.

I read both FBI 302 summary reports on Mafia surveillance operations as well as th4 actual Gotti wiretaps. A really great job done by all the feds involved. The Clintons and AG Reno screwed up, deliberately, the indictments of the Mafia and let their leaders get away literally scot free (millions of dollars of Mafia-controlled labor union money to the Clintons and Democrat Party/operations, just might have been an important factor in this Clinton corruption, jut maybe). See “The American Spectator, April 1997, Byron York, “Let’s Be Friends” for all the details of the Clinton criminal clan operations and the Mafia.

Re the media. I’ve known the best and worst, from at least 4 Pulitzer Prize winning writers of the old school (1917-70’s) to communist scuzz embedded in major US newspapers (Wash. Post, NYT, ABC, CBS, etc). Exposed at least 4 of them and got them basically dropped from “prime time” positions.

However, when my undercover work was published by the Senate (it was embargoed re release for a few days but reporters got advanced copies, even before I did), I got a phone call from a leading “conservative” writer/later top editor of the Wash. Evening Star. This was at 9:00 AM on a Saturday morning, two days before the public release of my testimony, and he asked me a series of almost irrelevant questions about my work and what I had found (most of it never appeared in his article).

Instead, out of 120 pages of testimony (including information from another undercover agent - probably PD, since I later met the guy), this “crack” reporter focuses in on the most innocuous item, something said almost in jest by a leftist radical re inviting Pres. Nixon to speak at an anti-Vietnam rally).

This is what the reporter wrote about, not my detailed documentation about communist (several parties involved) control of the anti-Vietnam major national protest organizations.

Now this SOB took a qualifying sentence of mine and CUT IT IN HALF, leaving out the key part wherein I said that I was not an “expert” on communism (I was becoming a major student of it), “nor do I claim to be”.

Well, I got pissed and went to the headquarters of the newspaper, stood in the middle of the main news writing room and said, “Who do I see about suing the newspaper for liberal?”.

You never saw so many people duck under their desks since the old atomic bomb attack drills of the 1950’s. Finally a more honorable editor came out and discussed my complaints about the deliberate omission of a very important statement I had made.

Well, they did a second rewrite of the original article, did add in one key statement about additional documentation I found to buttress my testimony (govt hearings), but it still left me feeling like they had cut one nut off instead of two.

Newer Letters to the Editor editors later gave me 18 months of literally uninterrupted publishing of my letters to the paper, which was a very decent thing to do. I even got a letter from Sen. Bob Dole (R-Ks) thanking me for publishing a list of key books on communism for the papers’ readers to know about, and my original letter was reprinted in the Congressional Record.

It was this incident that made me realize that if even so-called conservative reporters couldn’t get the facts/stories straight from the original sources, then I was going to do it, and did. Ten months later I was in So. Vietnam and Cambodia for Human Events weekly, spending perhaps the best time of my professional career researching and writing the truth about the war, warts and all, but as a pro-American citizen first, then as an honest and accurate journalist as I could be.

Still writing after 50 years and loving it. The mainstream media today is as corrupt as it has ever been, as anti-American as it has ever been, as Marxist as it has ever been, and as great a danger to America as it has ever been.

My friends who were soldiers in Vietnam and Iraq (including my son and son-in-law), are still writing too, and are telling the truth about what happened and why we weren’t allowed to win in Nam (by the Democrats of LBJ), but why we were winning on the ground and in the villages.

I guess we will all die at our keyboards but, hell, that’s the way it should be, if we love America, our family, and our Constitution.
