Peace Prize (JEH) thought he was well deserving of it) along with a death threat.
Being gay he still would fire and persecute all homosexuals in the FBI and rail
on anyone overtly gay in a pat rant he had. These pat rants that would go on for
an hr. would include communism and Aunt Mildred and the price of coffee, it
didn't matter, these were mantras and made him the man with the rant, hence the
man for the job to keep the US in line with reassuring platitudes of how the FBI
fought the threats of the world. A comparison to Himmler's background is in
here with the mother thing and the lists he kept on himself and everyone. A
careful balancing system to put everything on paper making no grey spaces, all
black and white. Get it on paper, it's reality. This guy was the biggest black-
mailer I've ever heard about holding the absolute power of the president in his
hand like 8 stupid puppets with spaghetti legs. Nixon thought he was a little
more than Hoover in power (finally a president with balls) and fired him, gently,
and thus the sham crumbled, he died in his sleep. After I read this book I was
dumbfounded. This megalomaniac stunned me to the core with the story. My
jaw was open then I shoved a flashlight into my eyes to see if I could feel
anything. When I did feel discomfort I was able to get up and put the book on
the shelf. F.U.C.K
