I am glad the hoopla regarding #GeraldFord’s death is finally growing less. I can somewhat understand the tendency not to speak ill of the dead, but I am very tired of all the lies, exaggerations and nonsense being lathered on the public about this unelected President.

We all knew at the time he was a stooge for the GQP and his sole purpose was to whitewash #Watergate —— which he did a fine of job of doing. It was also understood by everyone that he would pardon #TrickieDickie and not because it was “good for the country” but because that was the payback for making Ford the President.

I have even heard nonsense statements giving Ford credit for “ending” the oil crisis. Really? So we didn’t just get raped by the oil companies with $3+ for a gallon of gas?

Trickie Dickie and “StumbleBum” Ford were lousy presidents who initiated runaway inflation, an energy crisis, and the stranglehold the GQP has on our country today. Those are the facts. If you doubt them take a look at Shamely, Rumshead, Iran-Contra (Bush Sr.), Baker, etc. etc. etc.

Trickie Dickie initiated Red China’s admission into the United Nations, pushing aside the Republic of China. Go to Wal-mart to see the outcome of that stupid decision.

Trickie Dickie created the EPA and OSHA to shield business from private lawsuits, which they continue to do today. Trickie Dickie brought forth what was later to be called “The Imperial Presidency” by taking over a high level of government control for the White House.

Trickie Dickie destroyed the gold standard for the U.S. (which is partially responsible for the runaway inflation blamed on Carter)

Then comes Gerald “StumbleBum” Ford —— start by remembering he was on the Warren Commission which was supposed to investigate the slaying of Kennedy. It was Ford who altered the report by changing the reported location of the bullet entry so the “single bullet” theory became viable. Consider how dishonest that was to judge his later roles in our government.

He participated in the “Ev & Jerry Show” in the GQP attempts to discredit Johnson’s policies. (Keep in mind that Dirksen was brought to power by McCarthy and Dirksen was on the Un-American Activities Committee, along with Trickie Dickie, that ruined so many lives)

Ford was schooled on the pardon process by Al Haig, given the full draft of the pardon and did almost exactly as was “suggested”. He did absolutely nothing to turn back any of the disastrous decisions of Trickie Dickie and helped to entrench the Imperialists Shamely, Rumshead, Baker, Bush, etc.

Ford backed the murderous Suharto resulting in the massacre of roughly a third of East Timor’s population.

Ford opened the negotiations to cede the Panama Canal —— another GQP initiation blamed on Carter.

You won’t hear much mentioned about most of this stuff in the media —— but since you are on the Internets reading this —— you have a world of information at your fingertips if you doubt my words.

Another free speech issue. So far there is little evidence he personally broke the law to obtain the information. Why were the #Watergate reporters heroes for virtually the same reporting?
