Daniel Ellsberg

 Daniel Ellsberg

Ellsberg was a whistleblower who exposed the corruption that existed in the late 1960s concerning the Vietnam War. It was noted that the Vietnam War was started under dubious circumstances and Americans felt that the war was unjustified. Many Americans took to protests against the war thinking that it was an unecessary war.

Ellsberg would describe how the Vietnam War was created and escalated with corrupt purposes. Ellsberg would publish the Pentagon Papers in the 1970s during the Nixon Presidency. Ellsberg would also include information concerning Watergate and how Nixon had sent FBI agents to break in to Democratic headquarters, steal information, and place wiretaps in the offices.

Ellsberg would be recognized as a hero by Americans for speaking truth despite opposition and envy from Nixon and the FBI. Ellsberg also described how the Vietnam War seemed to be instigated arbitrarily and with unilateralism. While Americans opposed the war, Johnson kept escalating the war. MLK and college students opposed the war and protested. 

It is quite possible that the war was provoked being that the US was not active in a specific war. (The Cold War was denoted for not involving actual warfare with guns, bombs, and battlefield battles, but by the threat of Nuclear Warfare between the US and Soviets.) In a conventional manner, the US was not engaged in a war on the ground with troops in a nation. In the late 1960s, the US was probably being sabotaged internally through the FBI and also abroad by creating wars that were not needed with the CIA. Kissinger probably was the architect of the Vietnam War and probably trained both sides of Vietnam (Had a big book by Kissinger about his involvement in the Vietnam War written by Kissinger but I did not read it and threw it away. It probably detailed his benevolence instead of speaking the truth.). How else was the guerrila warfare so effective at fighting American forces and also having powerful military equipment from land mines to massive repositories of weaponry similar to the US? It does not make sense unless the reason for the war was to lead to conflict with other nations instead of creating peace (neoconservatives love warfare as much as socialist leftists love abortions) and also tarnish Johnson's leadership although he was also probably intimidated to keep escalating the war by Hoover, Sullivan, and the FBI. Johnson even stated that Nixon had described that he would speak to Vietnam leadership to de-escalate the war while Johnson was president. This describes how both neoconservatives and socialists leftists hate peace and serenity. Johnson took to escalate a war that was not approved by Americans and was also hated by the establishment. Ellsberg was able to speak truth and allow individuals to see the reality of corruption and iniquity. Nixon was not a Christian and definitely was a crook. Ellsberg exposed the true Nixon and FBI.
