Continuing with Douglas Valentine's work. He touches on a very important subject in this chapter, that being the growing condition in DC of what is called Double Hatters.He focuses on one certain Congressman here,but I would point out that it seems we have way too much of this going on not only in Congress,but in multiple agencies as well,with the State Department IMO being the most compromised by the Farm. One of the lines from a movie called The Farm by Pacino has always stood out to me,that being: " nothing is as it appears". It has gotten to the point, that they are not even trying to hide it any more.How many can recall the headlines leading up to the mid term election's when the MSM was openly announcing the CIA's intent to get 'their people' elected?

.... While running for Congress as a Republican candidate in 2000, Robert R. “Rob” Simmons posted on his website and in TV ads a picture of himself standing in front of an American flag in an army uniform. The symbolic meaning was obvious: Simmons was glorifying himself as a soldier/patriot above all else.

But in the final week of the campaign, his identification with militancy took an unexpected turn when he was scandalized by allegations that he had committed war crimes while serving not as a soldier, but as a CIA officer in Vietnam. Simmons called the accusation a “smear tactic.”

“Any veteran, anybody who served his country in war, should be offended,” Simmons said, appealing directly to the patriotism of undecided voters in a last ditch effort to win the election, while inadvertently castigating the CIA.

Adding to his indignation was the undisputed fact that the charges had emanated from the staff of his opponent, Congressman Sam Gejdenson, who had represented Connecticut’s 2nd District since 1981. Rocked by the outpouring of sympathy for Simmons, Gejdenson fired a campaign worker for inciting two (yes, two) college students to plan (yes, plan) a rally against Simmons. The students were intimidated – politically suppressed, in CIA terms – into cancelling their protest.

The local newspaper, the New London Day, headlined the Gejdenson aspect of the story, calling it a “dirty trick,” but refusing to delve into the substance of the charges. So I wrote to the editor and said that I’d interviewed Simmons twelve years earlier. I offered to write an article about him; but the newspaper decided to wait until after the election.

It seemed like the newspaper was trying to help Simmons win the election. And win he did; though trailing in the week before the election, he won by less than 3,000 votes. It was the allegation that he was a torturer that propelled him to victory.
