Great American hero,
my ass!
John Glenn is a testimony to the power
of the military industrial complex.
John 1st became recognized during W.W.II as a pilot.
In the Korean Civil War he flew F-86 Sabres
in combat against MIG-17s.
Sabres and MIGs used a wing designed by Nazi engineers.
The MIG's engine was a British design.
For most of John's time in Korea the U.S. was fighting over the issue of POW/MIA repatriation.
After the war he moved on to be a test pilot flying America's most sophisticated aircraft.
He eventually was chosen for NASA.
He and the rest of the aerospace industry worked closely
w/ Werner Von Braun's team of Nazi war criminal scientists.
He became the 1st American to make a successful orbit.
Weapon sales, POW/MIAs and Nazi technology had turned him into a national 'hero.'
Too 'important' to national pride, President Kennedy banned him from further space missions.
He then went into politics, and won based on his 'hero' status.
As a popular liberal Senator he ran for president
in 1984 w/ absolutely no ideas on any important issue.
He was left w/ debt that he still has not paid off. 60 Minutes did
a report on the victims, who had been promised repayment.
As a Senator he became a member of the Keating 5
conspiracy to defraud he American tax payer.
He supported trade w/ China, and never worried about the sale of weapons to them.
Supported normalized relations w/ China and Vietnam,
even though they had not accounted for POWs.
He refused to support my effort to ban AK-47 and other weapon sales
to and from countries like China that won't account for POW/MIAs.
In 1998 he went back into space on a shuttle mission.
$500 million was spent on a PR campaign to justify NASA's bloated budget.
Every 'news' outlet in America featured the mission for weeks ahead of launch.
None mentioned POW/MIAs, Nazis or weapon sales.
Glenn's popularity rating shot up.
Within months, U.S./China relations had soured over
rocket sales, illegal donations, and nuclear thefts.

Got Cool Photos Out Of The $500 Million |
