When did you have your first disappointment? Was it over a broken relationship or perhaps an assassination of a great President of the USA?
Unfortunately, I remember exactly the moment my heart first sunk.
I felt mental confused.
I got that lump in my throat, my heart raced and my mouth got dry. It wasn't only disappointment, I had denial of it; "I don't believe it's true," going through my brain. "My country doesn't do that! It's not right, not correct, everybody knows that" ... "Why, it's dishonest. They can't do anything dishonest. How can this be?"
The date was May 1, 1960.
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower was President at that time. He was supposed to be god in this, the greatest country of the world.
The Soviet Union shot down a USA spy plane piloted by Francis Gary Powers.
Theories had to be released to explain getting caught, what a foul up.
The downing of Gary Powers spy plane was explained, possible as:
1. Gary Powers was flying his plane below the high flying reconnaissance altitude and was hit by anti-aircraft fire.
2. Gary Powers actually landed the plane in the Soviet Union.
3. There was a bomb on board the plane.
Interesting data, explanations and more details of the U2 plane itself, can be found at:

I have seen the dishonesty of USA administrations extend from a high flying U2s to denying (but photographing) that they committed torture. They are good at lying and censoring their citizens and removing their Constitutional rights. Just in my life time the corruption of leadership has put the integrity of the USA in the trash. It makes me wonder, why all the citizens of the USA aren't disgusted or ashamed enough, to take the crime family out of the White House?
