Leon Panetta was a big winner in the closing of Fort Ord, in California.
He now has a taxpayer funded ‘institute’ on the former base, where his wife gets a handsome salary to run it.
There was a conference in California in 1996 I think, run by Mikhail Gorbachev, attended by many many politicians involved in base closings. The theme which has been accomplished around the country, was to close bases and then allow globalist institutes and schools take them over. In Fort Ord, not only does the rotten globalist Panetta institute exist, but a state university which teaches ‘social justice’ was also put there.
Gorbachev was handed keys to a ‘villa’ on the San Francisco Presidio, the minute it was shut down. How ironic that the communist enemy from the cold war, shooed the military away at the gateway to the pacific and and is ensconced in the military base as its prize tenet. Traitor politicians helped him.
Who won the cold war? Not US!
Great post.
