History - January 2007

During the ColdWar. Supposedly,the Russians met with the American president. Im not sure if it was Johnisn or Eisenhower. But, they gave him a gift. It was just a metallic rod sculpture. It was for his office at the White House. So, he had it in his office for 5 years. Until, one of the White house staff asked about the object. He asked the president if he knew what was inside it ?
So, they took it appart and found a microphone and a radio transmitter spy set up in it. Did this really happen ?

As a hero of the Second War of Independence, President Andrew Johnson, who was also a hero of that war, appointed me a lighthouse keeper. In my home state, where I was a lighthouse keeper, the state named two towns after me and both of those towns town erected a statue of me in my honor. The mid-Atlantic lighthouse I served at until my death is no longer standing. I also built the first ship of its kind in my state and a plaque was erected to commemorate that happening. What is my name and what lighthouse was I a keeper at?

respectively. they mostly go around the world on a nuclear submarine most of the time, their home base being the
seychelles islands. the guy on the grassy knoll was smoking
a cigarette. it was a phony jfk in the limo. the whole thing
was faked. marilyn didn't really die. it was a fraternity prank
type thing. secret service took marilyn somewhere until the
right time to fake jfk's death, and then have him join her in
the seychelles islands. most successful united states secret
service deceit in recent history. f.b.i. was fooled. j. edgar
hoover had to kept in the dark. the f.b.i. was hated by secret
service, it cut into their budget. too much damn bureaucracy.
many felt another layer of secret police was not needed. was
harmful to u.s. society. and the world. like a secret agent
arms race. ridiculous. like the court-martial of billy mitchell
who started an air force arms race. etc. 9 out of 10 work
in war industries or related. peace sells more, than war.

They marvel at how advanced the people in Egypt where or Romans, or Minoans so much you would think that we evolved from a primitave form of man that exsisted only 3000 years ago. In my opinions the amazing thing is that it took our lazy buts so long to learn how to fly.
