Spies Are Not Like Us

Filed under: Politik

Crazy!

On Thursday, the US government will release a report that reveals that the late, great chef Julia Childs worked for the gov as a spy.

During World War II, 24,000 people served in an international spy ring managed by the Office of Strategic Services, an early version of the CIA created by President Franklin Roosevelt. They were soldiers, actors, historians, lawyers, athletes, professors, reporters. The recruits studied military plans, created propaganda, infiltrated enemy ranks and stirred resistance among foreign troops.

The government report will list the names of the 24,000 people who worked with the OSS and previously classified files relating to the program.

Apparently, Miles Copeland, father of The Police's drummer, Stewart Copeland, was a spy too!

Espionage sounds like fun!

    Julia was and is a pimp, spy or no spy.



  8. 8

    anyone who knows anything about julia already knew this… her being a spy during WWII is the whole reason she was in europe and subsequently attended le cordon bleu in the first place.

    ANDY27– you can come over to my place and I'll give you a couple of 'lessons'… some naughty lessons.
    Also.. You are quite the popular guy! All these people feel so compelled to write to you, and/or write about you. They have to hide their love inside a big ole bowl of hate because they fear this huge, wonderous, feeling of love they have never had before.
    Just remember who loved you first!



  14. 14

    Old news.



  15. 15

    Re: bouge – lol….awww….so true, so true. it wouldn't be the first (or last) time that this website caters to hating on goodlooking people, right? ;-) and, yeah, i know that these idiots who race on here to say something negative about me, are simply seeking attention. my attention, nonetheless. as you can see, i don't even honor them with a response. it would make their day, and i'm too cocky for that. :-) anywho….are u a guy or girl? i'm curious.

    Re: Andy27 – Honey, I'm a girl… But for you I could dress up like a guy… maybe put on a big ole strap-on. Whatever you want.
    Or we could just be partners in crime… Pull off some ellaborate heists. Or pimp out some hoochie mama's.
    Or maybe we can make some popcorn, watch us some "Clueless" or, I don't know… "Dirty Dancing" and trash talk woman with fat asses and/or nasty extensions…
    I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the heist =)



  34. 34

    This isn't really news…she has said as much in multiple biographies.

  48. 48
