Nixon was set up. He was by no means a saint, but Watergate was not his doing. And the press never forgave him for making them look like fools when he nailed Alger Hiss as a Soviet spy, so they were chomping at the bit to destroy him.

For an EXHAUSTIVE, vindicating read on HUAUC/McCarthy hearings (the pumpkin papers, Venona, et al) and how the vile left have completely distorted it to this day, I strongly recommend M. Stanton Evans' "Blacklisted by History".

It's a hell of a SLOG and he probably could have put forth some effort to make it a bit more READABLE but it suffers from The Curse that nearly EVERY conservative-leaning book I've ever read does - the Goebbels-level deception is so VAST and generations-long that even in condensed form of peeling back the layers upon layers of BULLSHIT it still reads like the Old Testament. I've been wanting to get my hands more PRO-Nixon stuff like Watergate:The Hoax but done buying (physical) books and it ain't out in ebook format yet.

Begs the question... why is there a statute of limitation on espionage? It's fucking treason.

^ THIS THIS THIS

Nixon & McCarthy did nothing wrong. The rest of you: grow some fucking balls and take your land back, fags. This is a race to the future of civilization, and it doesn't favor those who prefer paperwork over conquest.

Political theater. Nothing has changed to this day. Weaponizing the media and controlling public opinion has always been the goal.

I use to think the show house of cards was a ridiculous drama. I now know that that is exactly what top politicians and globalist do all day. Try to fuck each other over and make money.

How did he make the press look like fools?

The press went on and on and on about how loyal and decent Hiss was and how then-Congressman Nixon was persecuting this faithful American servant. Nixon then revealed the docs proving Hiss was indeed a spy for the USSR. Hiss went to jail for perjury, the press was humiliated and Nixon turned that incident into a Senate seat and caught the eye of the party bosses for the vice presidency when Eisenhower ran.

Underrated comment.

Just imagine if we had Congress critters getting promoted for uncovering Chinese and Russian spies now.

I am curious about this as well.

This deserves to be posted twice.

It's also worth mentioning that the press never forgave Nixon for winning the presidency after JFK defeated him in 1959
