Did you know that "Hicks" was the code-name for Guy Burgess the famous spy for the Soviet Union.
So here's how it went down: I grew up in De Queen Arkansas after my first years living in Antlers Oklahoma where I was born.
Thedia, who claimed to be my mother, gets married again for the umpteenth time and she moves us to Ashdown Arkansas where he lives.
For me, the best thing about her remarriage is I knew it would end soon. No one was more surprised than I they stayed together. They stayed together until I was in the Persian Gulf and when I returned on leave to visit she told me they divorced.
So anyway, I grew up in De Queen. She moves us away after I finished the 8th grade and we move to Ashdown. We lived a while at his trailer there in the city limits. Then we moved for a while to a rented house in Wilton. Then they buy a house and about an acre of land.
The house was on Hicks Road, that stretches between Ashdown and Wilton.
Wo cares, you say, dullards? Well, I care. I went to the police to complain back in 2005 and they secretly drugged me when I just wanted to talk. They had me drugged up for over a year after that. I documented they released me from inpatient at the Seattle VA hospital at the same time United States Senator Patty Murray was holding a press conference in front of the hospital.
George W. Bush Al Qaeda has certainly won the United States and you sheep are helping them succeed.

Guy Burgess
BRITISH DIPLOMAT AND SPY
Guy Burgess, (born 1911, Devonport, Devon, Eng.—died Aug. 30, 1963, Moscow, Russia, U.S.S.R.) British diplomat who spied for the Soviet Union in World War II and early in the Cold War period.
At the University of Cambridge in the 1930s, Burgess was part of a group of upper-middle-class students—including Donald Maclean, Kim Philby, and Anthony Blunt—who disagreed with the notion of a capitalist democracy. These men were recruited by Soviet intelligence operatives to become secret agents, and Burgess began supplying information from his posts as a BBC correspondent from 1936 to 1938, a member of the MI6 intelligence agency from 1938 to 1941, and a member of the British Foreign Office from 1944.
In 1951 Burgess was recalled from his post as second secretary of the British embassy in Washington, D.C. He was about to be dismissed from the Foreign Service when he learned in May of that year that a counterintelligence investigation by British and U.S. agencies was closing in on his Cambridge colleague Maclean. To avoid prosecution, both men fled England; their whereabouts remained unknown until 1956, when they held a press conference to announce that they were living as communists in Moscow. In 1963 they were joined by Philby, another Cambridge and Foreign Office colleague, who, it was revealed, had given them the warning in 1951. That same year, Burgess died of a heart attack. It was disclosed in 1979 that the “fourth man” in this spy ring was former Cambridge colleague Blunt, a respected art historian and member of the queen’s household, and that he had contacted Soviet agents to arrange for Burgess and Maclean’s escape from England.

What damage did Anthony Blunt's spy ring do to Britain?
00:00, 24 JUL 2009 UPDATED 16:02, 28 JAN 2012
BY MIRROR.CO.UK
Blunt, Burgess, Maclean, Philby, Cairncross... they are five typically British names.
It could almost be the first line in one of those Monty Python sketches set in an English public school.
But these were the names of the men who formed the Cambridge Spy Ring - five young men who were at the university together in the 1930s.
In addition to gadding about in dinner jackets, drinking too much champagne and generally behaving like characters from Brideshead Revisited, these young men found time to develop left-wing sympathies that brought them to the attention of Soviet intelligence recruiters.
And, unfortunately for us, they all went on to greater things later in life.
Guy Burgess and Donald Maclean, who worked for the Foreign Office, did a bunk to the Soviet Union when they were fingered by a defector in 1951.
Kim Philby, who was extraordinarily a senior figure in MI6, bluffed it out until 1961 when he too had to do a moonlight flit to Moscow.
The fourth man, Anthony Blunt, had his cover blown in 1964 but in return for not being publicly exposed, he co-operated with his interrogators.
He was even able to continue as Surveyor of the Queen's Pictures - but rumour has it the late Queen Mother would have nothing to do with him.
Mrs Thatcher exposed the deal on coming to power in 1979. Blunt was stripped of his knighthood and disgraced. He was booed at a cinema in Notting Hill and his boyfriend was so distraught he tried to kill himself.
It was at this time that Blunt put his thoughts down on paper - and his memoirs were released yesterday.
The 30,000-word manuscript was lodged in the British Library in 1984 - shortly after Blunt's death - on condition that it should remain sealed for 25 years.
In it, he tells how he was lured into the spy ring by the flamboyantly homosexual Guy Burgess, whom he met at Cambridge in 1931. Blunt was also homosexual but denied any relationship with Burgess.
His memoirs reveal he didn't initially take to the younger man but he was soon won over, and became caught up in Burgess's enthusiasm for left-wing politics, which had gained an "almost religious quality" among students.
In 1935 or 1936, Burgess was recruited by Stalin's Comintern with orders to "go underground". And he asked his friend to join him.
"I was faced with the most important decision of my life," Blunt wrote.
"The atmosphere in Cambridge was so intense, the enthusiasm for any antifascist activity so great, that I made the biggest mistake of my life." The manuscript says nothing of his spying for the NKVD - forerunner of the KGB - during the Second World War when he was working for MI5.
He strongly denied lurid tales of his time sharing a house with Burgess in London's Bentinck Street, and dismisses reports that it was an "alternation of sexual orgies and conspiratorial conversations designed to hinder the war effort". We should not excuse Blunt or any of his fellow travellers.
They were traitors, full stop. But attitudes to communism were different. We tend now to view the Bolshevik Revolution as a terrible mistake. It was the moment the gangsters - the people who murdered poor old Tsar Nicholas II and his glamorous young family - took over and held ruthlessly onto power until the arrival of Mikhail Gorbachev 70 years later.
But for many, the Revolution meant the overthrow of the old corrupt order and an opportunity for ordinary people to have better lives.
And by 1941, with the Americans hesitating about entering the war and the UK on its beam ends, the only country who looked in with a chance of defeating Hitler was Soviet Russia.
All the Cambridge spies caused damage to their country.
Maclean as a diplomat in wartime Washington was privy to private messages between top Americans and Winston Churchill.
The information may well have helped Stalin play hardball at Yalta.
Blunt, or "Johnson" as his Russian handlers codenamed him, became an officer in the Security Service (MI5) at the beginning of the war.
He was on the distribution list of the most secret British Intelligence ULTRA (the codebreaking portrayed in the book and film Enigma).
A key question is how useful was their treachery to the Soviets? The answer is mixed and complicated. Yes, Maclean's information on Anglo-American plans and intentions was useful to Stalin.
But given the power and geograph-icaposition of the Red Army at the end of the war the western allies did not have many cards to play.
Poland could not have been rescued from the Iron Curtain, however hard we tried.
Philby's contribution was more poisonous. He betrayed the names of as many British agents as he could, including lists of all those who had spied for us in Nazi-occupied eastern Europe.
As communist regimes took over in the late 1940s most of these brave men and women who had fought were tortured and shot by the KGB and their local henchmen.
Ironically, Soviet intelligence never fully trusted the Cambridge ring and could never quite believe their luck.
That Philby, a young undergraduate recruited on the off-chance at Cambridge in the 1930s, should join MI6 and then after the war become Head of the Counter-Soviet Section seemed to them too good to be true.
But they never fully exploited their intelligence windfall.
As for the Cambridge spies themselves, they all died unhappy and broken men.
Read Anthony Blunt's anguish and despair at his public disgrace.
In the end he understood - doing the dirty on your country can never be justified and it never pays.

Murray seeks $1 billion for VA
By Hal Bernton
Seattle Times staff reporter
U.S. Sen. Patty Murray yesterday sent a letter to the White House asking President Bush to shore up a $1 billion shortfall in Department of Veterans Affairs health-care funding.
Murray, D-Wash., said the deficit could be addressed in an emergency-spending bill in the Senate in the days before the Fourth of July recess.
The shortfall for the current fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30, was disclosed by VA officials last week, prompting Murray to accuse the Bush administration of either "deliberate misdirection or gross incompetence."
Yesterday, Murray held a rally outside the Puget Sound VA Health Care System hospital in Seattle to press for the additional funding.
Murray said the funding shortages have resulted in an $11 million deficit at the Puget Sound center and have forced veterans into longer waits for services.
"Every indication is that we simply do not have enough funding of our current services," Murray said. "That is not right. That is not what our veterans were promised."
Puget Sound VA officials declined to comment yesterday on Murray's remarks. Instead, a public-affairs officer forwarded a statement from VA Secretary Jim Nicholson, who said he was confident the agency could work with Congress to provide "world-class health care to the nation's veterans."
Earlier this year, Murray proposed emergency funding for the VA, but that bill was voted down in the Senate after VA officials said the money was not needed.
Late last week, after the VA disclosed the $1 billion shortfall, Murray reintroduced the emergency-spending bill.

HISTORY
THE TRUMAN-DEWEY ELECTION, 65 YEARS AGO
On the 65th anniversary of one of the greatest upsets in American politics, get the story on President Harry Truman’s unexpected re-election victory over Thomas Dewey.
Heading into Election Day on November 2, 1948, numerous polls and pundits predicted Thomas Dewey (1902-71) was a shoo-in for the presidency. A Michigan native and attorney who gained prominence in the 1930s by prosecuting such mobsters as Lucky Luciano, Dewey had served as the 47th governor of New York since 1943. In 1944, he won the Republican nomination for the White House but lost the general election to President Franklin Roosevelt. In 1948, the Republicans again chose Dewey as their presidential nominee, with Governor Earl Warren of California as his vice-presidential running mate.
The Democratic nominee, Harry Truman (1884-1972), had ascended to the presidency following Franklin Roosevelt’s sudden death on April 12, 1945, just three months after he’d been sworn in for an unprecedented fourth term. The plain-spoken Truman, a U.S. senator from Missouri before his brief vice-presidency, went on to lead the United States through the end of World War II and the transition to a peacetime economy. However, in 1946, Truman’s political reputation was damaged when issues such as rising inflation and labor unrest contributed to the Democrats losing control of both chambers of Congress for the first time in 14 years. Further diminishing Truman’s prospects as the 1948 election approached were divisions within his own political party. His civil rights initiatives had alienated the conservative, Southern wing of the organization, whose members left to form the States’ Rights Democratic Party (or Dixiecrats) and select Governor Strom Thurmond of South Carolina as their presidential nominee. Additionally, Truman’s onetime secretary of commerce (as well as Roosevelt’s vice president from 1941-45), Henry Wallace, who had a following among liberals, decided to run against his former boss as the Progressive Party’s candidate for the Oval Office.
With victory looking like a foregone conclusion for Dewey, the New York governor ran an uninspiring, risk-averse campaign. One newspaper contended his four major speeches could be reduced to four sentences: “Agriculture is important. Our rivers are full of fish. You cannot have freedom without liberty. The future lies ahead.” Meanwhile, Truman employed an aggressive, populist campaign style. The president embarked on a “whistle-stop” tour, traveling across America by train and giving numerous speeches in which he spoke out against the “do-nothing” Republican-controlled 80th Congress. “Give ‘em hell, Harry” became a popular slogan among his supporters.
On Election Day, thanks to a coalition of voters that included organized labor, farmers, African Americans and Jews, Truman and his running mate, Senator Alben Barkley of Kentucky, pulled off what became known as one of the biggest upsets in U.S. political history, racking up 303 electoral votes and 49.6 percent of the popular vote to Dewey’s 189 electoral votes and 45.1 percent of the popular vote. Thurmond, the Dixiecrat, earned 39 electoral votes and 2.4 percent of the popular vote.
A now-famous photograph taken two days after the president’s come-from-behind triumph shows him smiling and holding a copy of the November 3, 1948, edition of the Chicago Tribune featuring the erroneous banner headline “Dewey Defeats Truman.” On Election Day, the newspaper had been required to go to press earlier than usual due to a printers’ strike, and even though not all the votes had been tallied at the time of the Tribune’s deadline, its editors were confident in the multiple polls widely favoring Dewey to win, and therefore reported he had done just that. (The Tribune wasn’t the only one to mistakenly call the election for the New York governor; in covering the returns, a leading radio announcer, H.V. Kaltenborn, informed his listeners that even though Truman was ahead Dewey ultimately would wind up on top.)
On January 29, 1949, in America’s first nationally televised inauguration, Truman was sworn in to his first full term as America’s 33rd president. Four years later, he left the White House (he had been eligible to seek another term but announced in 1952 he would not do so) and retired to his hometown of Independence, Missouri. Meanwhile, Dewey served as governor of New York through 1954 then he returned to practicing law.
