Torrent of Lies...Eleanor's Two Cents

I've been reading fascinating correspondence and would like to offer some feedback of my own.

Joseph Stalin - To call the Daily Mirror Yellow Journalists and to say they spew lies - your hypocrisy has no limits.  You call yourself a leader when your very citizens rejoice at the sight of Hitler's Wehrmacht troops?  What does that say about your leadership?  I think it's quite telling.  People's actions speak louder than their words.

Tokyo Rose - Your familiarity with American slang and jargon makes me think you're not Japanese at all.  Yet, it's clear you had a hand in the cowardly attack on Pearl Harbor.  If we were to silence radio stations on the American West Coast, would your voice go silent?  I think your tongues and riddles may cease.  

Anne Frank - My dear, you are young.  I would not be so careless with your life.  You have much to learn. My only advice at this point is to hide.  Hitler's intentions were made clear during the Kristallnacht and book-burning rallies.  Where they have burned books, they will burn human beings.  Hide, my dear child.  Hide.  

Benito Mussolini - You speak of loyalty, but you are loyal to a mad man. Have you read Mein Kampf? Do you realize where this man is leading you?! Remember that the lemmings loyally follow their leader... right off of a cliff.   


Helene Delattre - you live in the shadow of the enemy, and you are loyal to freedom and democracy. Do not worry; DeGaulle will return and sweep the Vichy away like pig vomit. Stay in the shadows and know we are coming for you. Take out your hidden radios and listen for our messages to the Free French who heroically battle the Nazis in their own backyard. We are coming for you. "It wounds my heart with a monotonous langour..."

Hitler will soon be fighting in Russia in the deep winter - Something even Napoleon couldn't do.  No army has ever beat that adversary.  The cold will prevail.  

This is the First Lady of the United States, signing off for tonight.
