Eartha Kitt didn't just get "cancelled." She was investigated by the CIA.

After she famously made Lady Bird Johnson cry by criticizing the Vietnam War at a White House Luncheon, President Johnson didn't call the FBI.

He called the CIA.

This was a massive breach of protocol. The CIA is legally forbidden from spying on Americans.

Yet they tapped her phones, interviewed colleagues in Paris and London, and spent taxpayer money hunting for treason.

The result? The declassified dossier is a comedy of errors.

Unable to find a single link to radicals, the most powerful intelligence agency on earth was reduced to writing petty reviews of her character.

The official report noted that, She had a "nasty disposition." and She "did not tip well."

They tried to paint her as a threat to national security. The only thing they proved was that she was a threat to their ego.

She lost her career in the US for a decade, But she never apologized, she simply stood on business.

Happy Birthday, Eartha Kitt.
