A Very Public Man and A Very Private Man





As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.


The tragedy of propaganda is that you think you know something when in fact it is all an illusion.


For example, Henry Kissinger, you think he is a Republican, when in realty, Hubert Humphrey was going to have Kissinger serve in his cabinet. You think you know Henry as pressed suits, and yet I found photos  of him on wild boar hunts with Leonid Brezhnev of the Soviet Union.



It is this Kissinger which I am going to make a footnote of again, as the world does deserve a complete picture of Henry Kissinger.



When Vice President Hubert Humphrey was recovering from major cancer surgery where his bladder and prostate were removed, he invested his days going around to each room and visiting all of the sick. There was not a person on that floor that Humphrey did not know the full details on in life and and in sickness.



One day, according to Dr, Edgar Berman who was Humphrey's friend and physician, there appeared Henry Kissinger at Sloan Kettering. Berman stated that on that day Henry Kissinger accompanied Humphrey to every room on that floor visiting the sick, and the duo did a very good comedy routine to the delight of all of the patients.


We all know the stories on Henry Kissinger in being absolute evil. We do not know the stories though of who Henry Kissinger really ever was or is.  This is not a carte blanche post, but it is the reality that things you think you know about people are not what the person is, and none of you would have ever dreamed that Kissinger would be visiting anyone sick, let alone going around for an hour cheering them up with Hubert Humphrey who was in the process of dying of cancer.

It was though a day of the very public man, in Hubert Humphrey and the very private man of Henry Kissinger doing something good for people. There were no cameras around as this was not a publicity stunt. It was just two friends interacting with each other.


Some people we can agree in both the right and the left who are not nice people no one should have hanging around. Others though, who we have bought into the propaganda over, perhaps in reading something more than mass postings, we come across strange insights which do not match in the least what we have been told.


It is something to think about as we judge others, who probably have been in more cancer wards by at least one visit making the day brighter for sick people than any of us have ever invested as the good people.

If not for a liberal Jew named Edgar Berman who told all the gossip, we never would have known about Henry Kissinger as a comedian and as a friend to Hubert Humphrey, visiting people with cancer in a hospital.
