21. Amazed to read you corresponded with William Blum. Can't imagine how stunning that would be. He was a dazzling light.

So courageous.

His Wikipedia is wonderful. He never backed down.

It was fascinating to read he worked with former CIA guy, Philip Agee, who was despised by George H. W. Bush for walking away from the CIA. He was another person, of course, who had enormous courage, just like William Blum. Clearly they lived for years knowing there were maniacs who really wanted to see them killed.

What a shame William Blum couldn't have lived to be 200 years old. This country always needed him.

Thanks for posting the Wiki link. I admire you for being capable of carrying on communications with the man. I would have become paralyzed and frozen up and never have been able to put a sentence together. Very intense, special level of communication, for sure!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
