Walter Cronkite secretly helped antiwar protesters in the 1960s and even offered to have CBS foot the bill for a helicopter to bring Sen. Edmund Muskie to a peace rally, according to new FBI documents. The news anchor offered advice to the leader of a Florida antiwar group, according to the FBI documents obtained by Yahoo News. The claim was filtered up to the FBI from a confidential informant, who said he was told about Cronkite's collusion at a November 1969 meeting of a Rollins College protest group called Youth for New America. At that meeting, the leader, whose name is redacted from the file, tells the group that he talked on the phone to the CBS newsman for 45 minutes, according to the source's account in the FBI memo. WALTER CRONKITE Newsman took sides: FBI.Cronkite's son, Chip, told Yahoo, "It doesn't have the ring of a reliable story to me."
Poster Comment: Cronkite wishing for "One World Government" U.S. Must "Give Up Some of Our Sovereignty" to the UN "It seems to many of us that if we are to avoid the eventual catastrophic world conflict we must strengthen the United Nations as a first step toward a world government patterned after our own government with a legislature, executive and judiciary, and police to enforce its international laws and keep the peace. To do that, of course, we Americans will have to give up some of our sovereignty.... "Time will not wait. Democracy, civilization itself, is at stake. Within the next few years we must change the basic structure of our global community from the present anarchic system of war and ever more destructive weaponry to a new system governed by a democratic U.N. federation..... "Our failure to live up to our obligations to the U.N. is led by a handful of willful senators who choose to pursue their narrow, selfish political objectives at the cost of our nation’s conscience. They pander to and are supported by the Christian Coalition and the rest of the religious right wing." — Excerpts from a speech by Cronkite to the World Federalist Association on October 19, 1999. Published the December 3, 1999 Washington Times.

Cronkite was a CIA "Mockingbird" - if he helped any "anti-war" movement it was because his handlers told him to. Probably helping a provocateur.
"One of the least understood strategies of the world revolution now moving rapidly toward its goal is the use of mind control as a major means of obtaining the consent of the people who will be subjects of the New World Order." K.M. Heaton, The National Educator
"The Most Trusted Man In America". Propaganda whomped up by cronkite, henchmen, and handlers. Many of my friends sucked it up - like The Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. Just like millions of so-called Americans today. Reading and thinking are difficult for many; television gleefully rectifies that.

Crankcase was just another talking goy head, like the rest of those charlatans of that era. He knew who signed his paycheck every month. Just as do those talking heads at Fox news.
