Nixon wasn't as big a crook as the crooks in the IA's. And what we did to Iran to install the Shaw was shady af. Two great books are "Trading with the Enemy" and "The Puzzle Palace". Our government is a multitrillion dollar rabbit hole of fraud, blackmail, extortion, and corruption top to bottom.

I member. Things were good. Then Watergate leading to his 1974 resignation speech. Felt like well organized coup.

Look at how he crushed his opponent. Could have ended the dems as a national party. They had to get him, and not assassinate him, but discredit him.

Well, heh, Nixon did plenty wrong.

But he also was setup by the Deep State and overthrown by a hoax created by Richard "Butcher of Langley" Helms and his henchman Sidney "Clubfoot" Gottlieb.

The definitive exposé of the entire miserable coup is Ashton Gray's book, Watergate: The Hoax.

Funny thing was that Watergate was about some low level guys wiretapping the phone the DNC used to hire hookers. Nixon didn't know what was going on. But his mistake was not coming out fast enough before the papers and the msm could craft a narrative.

He was making inroads with China in a goodway, but after he got outed by the Feds, you saw a push for China to rise and the growth lf the Chicoms.

All I know for certain it did not happen the way it was written up by those TDS ridden clowns.

I felt that way since 1975. The whole thing made no sence and stunk of leftist shenanigans. If a narrative is truthful it has a very particular topology. If it doesn't have this it is a lie. The story as it was unfolding had the topology of a lie, plus the news coverage was not news. Just like today's news.

Was awfully tame shit compared to the shit that takes place now. Nixon was a great President, minus underestimating bugmen.

He was actually too liberal in some ways.

Mark Felt was deep throat - Deputy Director of the FBI

Andrew McCabe was Deputy Director of the FBI too

Woodward simply wrote a nice fictional tale about those midnight meetings in a garage... They never happened
