It’s wild how quickly people here lose their sense of reality. I remember hearing this story about back in the day during the McCarthy era—there was a mass held for those American martyrs, and a local priest actually had the nerve to ask an official how he could wear a picture of a communist leader on his lapel.The priest was asking that on behalf of all the Americans who were targeted by those undercover government gangs.Of course, the guy just shut up and started flipping his allegiances like a traffic light.
This might be a bit of a tangent, but I felt like I had to share my thoughts on this...
I’m not saying anything negative about George Washington’s people, far from it. People often forget that some of the most notorious intelligence agents and spies operating within the diaspora were actually from that specific region.
It wasn't a coincidence that two of the top federal investigators in D.C. at the time were from there.
Now, obviously, we shouldn't generalize because not everyone is involved in that kind of thing, but back then, it seemed like no one from that area could even get a permit for a mission abroad without agreeing to cooperate with the agency. It was basically a prerequisite just to get your travel documents.
As for Ed Koch, he's finished. I hope he enjoys his retirement in a quiet corner of the country. He'll be a memory before we know it...
