True reporters, like Sy Hersh, dare to expose what they’re told not to.

SAN FRANCISCO

Lee Heidhues 12.9.2025

I have followed Seymour Hersh writing for decades. I became transfixed when I read his classic “The Price of Power: Kissinger in the Nixon White House” published in 1984. A compendium of the treacherous foreign policy instituted by President Nixon and carried out enthusiastically by Henry Kissinger. Countries in the Western Hemisphere to the near East and Asia, specifically Vietnam and Cambodia, were in their Machiavellian sights.

Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet who overthrew the democratically elected President Salvador Allende on 9.1.1.1973 shakes hands with Henry Kissinger. The story of Nixon and Kissinger’s involvement in the coup is written about in detail in Sy Hersh’s book.

The soon to be released documentary “Cover-up” is must viewing for those who want to know what genuine, honest investigative reporting is all about in the era of Donald Trump and his relentless assaults on the media. A mainstream media which has been cowed and compliant. Enabling this liar to attack the core of American democracy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seymour_Hersh – **An American journalist icon**

Excerpted from Variety 8.25.2025

As “Cover-Up” reveals, the key lesson of Seymour Hersh’s career is that when it comes to crucial stories of corruption, just about every situation is layered, booby-trapped, woven with deception. The movie is called “Cover-Up” because cover-up is the metaphysical state we live in. The true reporters, like Hersh, are those who dare to expose what they’re told not to.

When Hersh, in the documentary, talks about how American media works, how it’s too cozy with power, he can sound a lot like the Noam Chomsky of “Manufacturing Consent.” But part of what’s so compelling about “Cover-Up” is that Hersh, in his heyday, wasn’t a pie-in-the-sky purist agitator like Chomsky; he was a regular guy who simply wanted the truth to get out there.

The film captures how he sort of fell into journalism, after helping to run his family’s dry-cleaning business on the South Side of Chicago. He was originally a crime reporter, and got his big break in 1963, when he went to work for the Associated Press. Assigned to cover the Pentagon, he would walk out of the scripted press briefings and, instead, wandered the halls and used his sports chatter to befriend high-ranking officers.

That’s how he got wind of the My Lai story, when an officer referenced what was going on with Lt. William Calley (without actually naming him). “Cover-Up” takes us inside the process of how this complex story was brought to light.

A false mythology of the massacre lives on to this day (that American soldiers went “crazy” with violence in the jungles), but the far uglier truth is that the murder of Vietnamese civilians had been ordered as a way to inflate the casualty numbers (which was the Army’s yardstick of success). My Lai wasn’t the only My Lai — far from it.

The story, which Hersh broke in 1969, made his name.

U.S. Flips History by Casting Europe—Not Russia—as Villain

SAN FRANCISCO

Lee Heidhues 12.6.2025

Looking afar from the West Coast of America to most Americans Europe seems far away and inconsequential. Only as a tourist destination and photo op.

The reality is that Europe is an integral bastion economically and culturally for the United States.

It’s shocking to read that Donald Trump is striving to turn this centuries long relationship on its head as he seeks to solidify his indecipherable relationship with Vladimir Putin. Trump’s not so secret goal is to let Europe fend for itself while he withdraws into Fortress America.

Excerpted from The Wall Street Journal 12.6.2025

Nathalie Tocci, director of the Institute for International Affairs in Rome and a former EU diplomatic adviser, said the document lays out a fairly coherent vision of a world dominated by three big powers—the U.S., China and Russia—who have areas of cooperation and zones of influence.

“I think it’s fairly clear that Europe is seen by the administration as being on the colonial menu” for domination by either the U.S. or Russia, she said. “So to me, the real question is: ’What else needs to happen for us Europeans to wake up to this?’ ”

For years, the U.S. government has published an annual National Security Strategy that lays out how Washington sees the world and its approach to dealing with looming threats, from China to Russia to drug-traffickers in Latin America.

This week, the Trump administration’s version seemed to reserve its harshest tone for a new target: America’s closest allies in Europe.

The 30-page document painted European nations as wayward, declining powers that have ceded their sovereignty to the European Union and are led by governments that suppress democracy and muzzle voices that want a more nationalistic turn.

It says the continent faces “civilizational erasure” through immigration that could render it “unrecognizable” in two decades—as well as turning several North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies into majority “non-European” countries. It concludes the region could grow too weak to be “reliable allies.”

**Trump has castigated the European countries for not spending sufficiently on the military.** https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conscription_in_Germany. **The German government now is considering reinstituting compulsory military service. Germans are protesting.**

The document underscores how radically the Trump administration is reshaping traditional American foreign policy, and it is likely to deepen divisions in the trans-Atlantic alliance, which has largely kept the peace in Europe since World War II and promoted Western values across the world.

The document landed like a bucket of cold water in European capitals. European leaders reading the document need “to assume that the traditional trans-Atlantic relationship is dead,” said Katja Bego, a senior researcher at Chatham House, a think tank in London.

A genuine Nazi. Trump dropped a flamethrower on the News Media.

Lee Heidhues 12.5.2025 – UPDATED 12.9.2025

More seriously—more sinister—the White House has just put up a wall-of-shame webpage tracking media outfits and reporters who “misrepresent” or “lie” about the administration. Names are named, outfits identified and shamed. All this is meant to intimidate; it institutionalizes attacks on the media and, considering the broader context, potentially prompts and gives permission to unstable people who might want to act in the president’s supposed defense. The webpage, paid for by taxpayers as part of the White House website, looks not like an insult but part of a sustained campaign. It is a threat. It should be taken down. Peggy Noonan in Wall Street Journal 12.6.2025 – https://www.wsj.com/opinion/were-in-an-era-of-political-violence-cc359449?mod=hp_opin_pos_3

Donald Trump is a Clear and Present Danger to democracy.

I don’t know what’s more distressing.

The White House launching a Media Offenders Website titled ‘Hall of Shame’ https://www.whitehouse.gov/mediabias/ or the general silence with few exceptions from the American media whose First Amendment rights are being trampled.

The shock of all this is that the publishers should be at the proverbial barricades. Press freedom and the First Amendment are under attack. Journalists, editors and publishers must be aware that when Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933 he destroyed the free press in Germany. If they’re not unaware they’re deluding themselves.

Trump will never get that far. But his intimidation tactics using the power of the Federal government is sending a chilling message

**Trump’s genuine Nazi like assault on the media. Utilizing the White House to intimidate journalists**

Excerpted from Deutsche Welle 12.5.2025

A new government website lists journalists and media outlets that Donald Trump’s administration considers liars. Experts say the move endangers free media ― and thus erodes democracy in the US.

The website set up by the Trump White House amounts to threatening media outlets, Jonathan Katz, a fellow in governance studies at the think tank Brookings Institution, says, too.

“It can have a chilling effect on free speech, on independent media,” Katz told DW. “We’re watching carefully to see how this affects press freedom in the United States.”

It’s no secret that the current US administration doesn’t have too high an opinion of journalists. President Donald Trump recently called a female reporter asking him about his involvement in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal “piggy.”

And in a press briefing on Monday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt talked about how much of her job is taken up by dealing with what she labeled inaccurate characterizations published by White House correspondents.

“The fake news that we see pumped out of this building on a day-to-day basis — it’s honestly overwhelming to keep up with it all,” she said.

In response to what Leavitt said were “fake news and … attacks” being spread by reporters, the White House has created a website that lists media outlets and reporters who, according to the government, publish false, biased or misleading stories.

The new “Media Offenders” website includes featured “Offenders of the Week” as well as a “Hall of Shame” that consists of four pages (at time of publication) of media reports the White House has sorted into the categories bias, lie, false claim, malpractice, omission of context, mischaracterization, circular reporting, failure to report and left-wing lunacy.

In a statement released on December 1, the White House said by creating the website, it “dropped a flamethrower on the Fake News Media.”

Media control. Trump launches tracker. Calls out ‘media offenders’

SAN FRANCISCO

Lee Heidhues 11.30.2025 UPDATED 11.9.2025

Donald Trump is now utilizing the extensive power of the federal government to clamp down on First Amendment free speech rights. Make no mistake. Trump is a master of the media. Now, with all the levers of power at his disposable, this convicted felon, racist, misogynist is shredding the media.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution

People need only to look at Hitler’s Germany, Putin’s Russia for guidance on how to suppress the media. Dictators are Trump’s favorite leaders and he is utilizing their perverse playbook to quash free speech.

Where is the American media in reporting this real threat to First Amendment and its own livelihood?

Deutsche Welle 11.30.2025

The Trump White House launched a new page on its website on Friday called “media offenders,” listing news sites, reporters, and stories it claims misled the public.

US President Donald Trump calls lawmakers’ actions “seditious” and “treason.”

This week, Trump called a female reporter from The New York Times “ugly” after she co-wrote a data-driven report about the president showing signs of aging.

The president, who is 79, drew fire two weeks ago after telling a Bloomberg reporter to be “quiet, piggy” when she tried to ask a follow-up question about disgraced financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s emails.

The top publications cited as “media offenders of the week” were the Boston Globe, CBS News, and the Independent. Reporters from those outlets were singled out for stories about a controversial video released last week by six Democratic lawmakers.

The lawmakers, all of whom are military veterans or former intelligence officials, reminded service members they are not obligated to follow illegal orders.

In a video posted online last week, the lawmakers said, “Right now, the threats to our Constitution aren’t just coming from abroad, but from right here at home.”

“Our laws are clear: You can refuse illegal order. … You must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution,” they added.

What the ‘media offenders’ page looks like

The page included an “offender hall of shame” with a list of stories the White House considers mistruths.

Each story is explained and categorized under labels such as “lie,” “omission of context,” or “left-wing lunacy.”

The White House described the site as “a record of the media’s false and misleading stories flagged by The White House.”

The page also features a leaderboard of news sites the administration claims reported stories incorrectly.

The Washington Post tops the list, followed by MSNBC (recently rebranded as MS NOW), CBS News, CNN, The New York Times, Politico, and The Wall Street Journal.

There’s also a section with “repeat offenders” with outlets that the Trump administration objects to.

Trump administration escalates fight with media outlets

All outlets on the leaderboard, along with others, turned in their Pentagon press badges last month after rejecting new rules imposed by the Department of Defense.

The rules would leave journalists vulnerable to expulsion if they reported information, classified or otherwise, that had not been approved by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for release.

Trump has also been involved in court battles against The New York Times, CBS News, ABC News, The Wall Street Journal, and the Associated Press over the past year.

Trump widens hostilities against female reporters

The administration’s broader conflict with media outlets has also taken a personal turn. In recent weeks, Trump has faced criticism for insulting female reporters.

NYC Homegrown fascism. DHS cops handcuff Democrat rep aide

SAN FRANCISCO

Lee Heidhues 5.31.2025

I can’t believe what I am reading and seeing. I should.

Who said, “It can’t happen here.”?

Well, less than five months into the oligarchy of Felon Donald Trump the feds have been unleashed to terrorize and abuse. Even congressional aides are not exempt from the Police State tentacles of the wannabe American dictator.

Excerpted from The Gothamist and Politico 5.30.2025

Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NYC) slammed both DHS and President Donald Trump in a statement Saturday afternoon for demonstrating “aggressive and heavy-handed tactics” and “sowing chaos” not only in his district, but across the country, as the Trump administration escalates its crackdown on immigration.

“President Trump and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are sowing chaos in our communities, using intimidation tactics against both citizens and non-citizens in a reckless and dangerous manner. In the most recent and deeply troubling incident, DHS agents forcefully entered my Congressional office and handcuffed a member of my staff,” Nadler said, adding that he was “alarmed by the aggressive and heavy-handed tactics DHS is employing in New York City and across the country.”

The New York representative also cautioned that the incident showed a “deeply troubling disregard for proper legal boundaries,” and warned that “if this can happen in a Member of Congress’s office, it can happen to anyone — and it is happening.”

In a dramatic incident captured on video, U.S. Department of Homeland Security police Wednesday handcuffed one of Rep. Jerry Nadler aides in the congressmember’s Manhattan office, which is in the same federal office building as an immigration courthouse.

In the video, which was shared with Gothamist and filmed by a person who was monitoring activity in immigration court, DHS officers entered Nadler’s district office and accused staff members of “harboring rioters.” A Nadler staffer is seen crying and being handcuffed. Another officer is at a door trying to enter a private area of the office while a staffer asks for a warrant.

DHS later said in a statement that “one individual” — the woman seen being handcuffed — had blocked police from performing a security check they intended to do based on information there were protesters in the lawmaker’s office. Later that day, protesters gathered outside of the federal building, demonstrating against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Brazen acts of free speech. “Speech alone cannot be a crime.”

SAN FRANCISCO

Lee Heidhues 3.18.2025

Flying the Hamas flag may be reprehensible to many. Before becoming too outraged don’t forget that the Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan right to brandish the abhorrent swastika is protected speech in America.

**Nazi flag waving Americans on the march. Protected free speech.**

Excerpted from The San Francisco Chronicle 3.18.2025

“There’s nothing illegal about it,” said San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.

The First Amendment protects even speech that advocates for unlawful action, said First Amendment Coalition Legal Director David Loy. Speech turns into a crime only when it involves a threat to commit harm, he said.

“Speech alone cannot be a crime,” David Loy said.

A San Carlos resident’s decision to fly a Hamas flag outside their home in recent days has stirred outrage among some residents of the Peninsula city, who said they viewed the flag’s display as an endorsement of terrorism.

Some residents said they reported the flag to federal law enforcement officials and their counterparts in San Mateo County. The flag displays the Islamic oath and creed in white calligraphy on a green background.

Flying the flag is protected under free speech laws, legal experts said. It’s unclear whether the flag, flown atop a pole in front of a house on Crestview Drive on and off in the past two weeks, has triggered any kind of government investigation.

Despite the uproar, experts said the display of the flag amounts to symbolic speech protected under the First Amendment.

The proverb “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure” did not hold true for Donna the Drain.

For several days, a blight of shoes and plastic bags had been discarded at the corner where Donna the Drain is located. No one had poked through the pile to take away anything at all.

The constant rain over the last week had turned the pile of shoes and bags into a sodden mess. It was polluting the corner where I, as an SFPUC volunteer, have kept Donna the Drain free of pollutants and trash since 2017.

**Liz social media message to the San Francisco ‘311’ hotline – 3.13.2025**

I noticed the ugly mess as I walked home from my class at Tat Wong Kung Fu Academy on Tuesday. But I waited two days before reporting it to the City.

This morning as I hustled down the hill towards St. Thomas the Apostle Church for Sunday service, I saw a miracle had transpired. The trash was gone! The corner was clean! The upshot. I wouldn’t have to clean it myself and lug it up our steep hill to our trash can.

**As I walked down the hill towards St. Thomas, I saw a miracle had occurred. The mess was gone!**

Who had performed this miracle? A DPW open bed truck, carrying an assortment of discarded battered possessions – broken chairs, ladders, an ironing board and more – was pulling up to the corner. A smiling city worker jumped out of the driver’s seat. “I’m so glad to see you,” I said.

We greeted one another as he pulled an iPad out of his pocket. The City worker, who undoubtedly sees plenty of trash, told me, “I wouldn’t want to see this on my corner either.” He then pulled up the screen shot of the ‘X’ post I had transmitted to ‘311’ three days earlier. His up to date technology had chronicled a record of my communication. The City had missed its deadline of responding within 48 hours but it had taken action. The City came out. I was gratified by the City’s high level of service.

Out here in the countryside, junk abandoned on the corners often lingers for days. When the City worker told me “We rarely get calls from people out here”, not only was he explaining why DPW was late in responding, he was also affirming we live by the old proverb in my west side neighborhood. What we consider worthless could be highly prized by someone else.

**Liz with the SFDPW worker on a Sunday morning.**

Liz Heidhues has been caring for Donna the drain since 2017, as soon as she saw the Adopt a Drain program advertised on a San Francisco Public Utilities Commission calendar she picked up from a local store. As a runner and a cyclist without a car, she said she was always encountering flooded intersections, so her motivation to adopt the drain was to keep her intersection from becoming flooded. She looked online and saw the drain on her corner was available, and she’s been caring for it ever since. https://www.sfgate.com/local/article/Adopt-a-Drain-program-SF-16641794.php

Step by step the felon Nazi Donald Trump is destroying the free press. Just like Adolf Hitler did in Germany shortly after he became Chancellor in 1933. Are books next?

**Book burning in Nazi Germany** https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Empty_Library

On April 6, 1933, the Nazi German Student Association’s Main Office for Press and Propaganda announced a nationwide initiative “against the un-German spirit”, climaxing in a literary Säuberung, or cleansing, by fire.^[2] Local chapters of the group were charged with the distribution of literary blacklists that included Jewish, Marxist, Socialist, anti-family, and anti-German literature and planned grand ceremonies for the public to gather and dispose of the objectionable material.^[3]

In Berlin, the German Student Union organized the celebratory book burnings that took place on May 10, 1933, on a dreary, rainy evening.^[2] 40,000 people crowded into the Opernplatz (as it was then known) as 5,000 German students proceeded past them, holding burning torches to ceremonially ignite the pile of books seized for the event.^[4] Joseph Goebbels, Germany’s Reich Minister of Propaganda, spoke at the event, declaring that “the era of exaggerated Jewish intellectualism is now at an end… and the future German man will not just be a man of books… this late hour [I] entrust to the flames the intellectual garbage of the past.”^[3][5] Thirty-four additional book burnings took place across Germany that month.^[3]

Excerpted from France 24 3.15.2025

The head of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, which started broadcasting into the Soviet bloc during the Cold War, called the cancellation of funding “a massive gift to America’s enemies.”

“The Iranian ayatollahs, Chinese communist leaders, and autocrats in Moscow and Minsk would celebrate the demise of RFE/RL after 75 years,” its president, Stephen Capus, said in a statement.

Hundreds of reporters and other staff at VOA, Radio Free Asia, Radio Free Europe and other outlets received a weekend email saying they will be barred from their offices and should surrender press passes, office-issued telephones and other equipment.

Trump, who has already eviscerated the US aid agency and Education Department, on Friday issued an executive order listing the US Agency for Global Media as among “elements of the federal bureaucracy that the president has determined are unnecessary.”

Kari Lake, a firebrand Trump supporter and former Arizona news anchor who was put in charge of the media agency after she lost a US Senate bid, wrote — in an email to media outlets she supervises — that federal grant money “no longer effectuates agency priorities.”

A White House press official, Harrison Fields, took a much less legalistic tone in a post on X, simply writing “goodbye” in 20 languages, a sarcastic jab at VOA’s multilingual coverage.

April 12th. Day of Great Highway Park. “The truth will prevail.”

SAN FRANCISCO

Lee Heidhues. March 1st, 2025

A local senior law enforcement official recently told me, “The truth will prevail.”

March 1st is a historic and memorable day for San Francisco in general and for Liz and me in particular.

Today March 1st 2025 San Francisco officialdom announced a date for the formal opening of Great Highway Park, the two mile stretch of road adjoining the Pacific Ocean in San Francisco.

On this first of March day in 1969 Liz and I moved to a place which came to be known as the ‘Beach House’ in the outer Richmond District. High on a hill this house, still standing 56 years later, overlooks Golden Gate Park and a view which stretches all along the coastline. Site of Great Highway Park. That night we took the 38 Geary bus downtown to the Chinese New Year Parade; ate dinner at Sam Wo and bought two LPs, which we still have today. ‘The Blues Alone’ by John Mayall and ‘Sailor’ by The Steve Miller Blues Band.

Today officials from City Hall announced The Great Highway Park will formally open on April 12th 2025.

The date, April 12th, has taken on a tragic, traumatic and long lasting significance in Liz’s life.

It was on this day, seven years ago April 12th 2018 that Liz, then 68, was subjected to the first of two citizen’s arrests.

This event has had an ever lasting traumatic impact on Liz’s life.

**Liz self portrayal behind bars at San Francisco County Jail.**

The fact The Great Highway Park will open on April 12th 2025 is a joyous event, one which we have battled for the past four years and will ease the hurt of what happened seven years ago. The fact Liz and I, along with countless other environmental advocates, persevered despite the opprobrium heaped on us taught us one thing. “The truth will prevail.”
