“The Washingsnot Pest”, center of Media Evil in the District of Corruption.

In fact, plenty of explanatory evidence was unearthed following Watergate that we now know had been there all along for the taking. But none of it ever managed to overcome the Post’s received version.

Now that President Trump has forced The SnotPest to expose itself as the direct Media arm of the DNC, anyone who believes ANYTHING cr@pped out by that partisan rag is a fool.

Watergate was a pivotal point in U.S. politics mostly because that was when the collective media, Washpo included, realized the immense power they wielded that could bring down a sitting president, and they have acted accordingly ever since.

After all these years, I would have thought that all Americans were aware that “Watergate” was a DNC and National News “Media” circular jerk. A joke played by the commie left on the American people.

I would say it was a CIA operation, helped along by CIA operative Bob Woodward. The CIA is a danger to this Republic.

In the post-Watergate era, the collective media also realized the power they wielded could be used to protect presidents they favored. Presidents Clinton, Obama, and Biden have all committed crimes far worse than anything Nixon did, but they got off without consequences.

"America's Untold Stories" (Hunley and Groubert) recently covered this topic in their usual remarkable detail.

They didn't say anything I hadn't already read in Silent Coup (by Len Colodny and Robert Gettlin), except that Deep Throat was not Mark Felt. I don't know how true that actually is.

The CIA has got to be one of the most evil entities of modern America.

What the public never connects to Watergate and its aftermath, is that the Left had gained a huge presence as they organized, guided and funded the pro-enemy “antiwar” movement. The only way the NVA could win, was to get Nixon out of power.

The enemy, and their communist supporters, saw how Nixon dealt with NVA intransigence in the negotiations by bombing downtown Hanoi/mining Haiphong and after the peace deal had been signed, stopped the NVA offensive in ‘73 by massive air attacks against the NVA columns.

Nixon was driven out because the enemy had supporters in the highest reaches of our government - the Deep State’s entrenched interests - not because of any wrongdoing by Nixon.

Same playbook we see today against Trump.

To me, the bogosity of Watergate is most obvious from how difficult it is to explain to people who are too young to remember. RMN was *not* an unambiguous monster, so the thing falls flat.

Nixon was a liberal globalist.

Well, he certainly wasn’t an isolationist. McGovern was the isolationist back in those Cold War days. Also, I don’t think many people back then realized what globalism would come to mean in later decades.

So was it CIA or was it Dean? And if it was the CIA, what were they after? And what if it really was to take out bugs that had already been planted in the DNC to get political information?

He started the China betrayed and he ended the Gold Standard. Unforgivable.

I’m currently reading One Nation Under Blackmail by Whitney Webb. Apparently the CIA has been using blackmail for years, & in the article it referenced McChord saying “that this caper had been a blown CIA operation. The eavesdropping monitor for prior weeks had been listening to “explicitly intimate” conversations between men and women. And supervisor Howard Hunt’s part-time employer, Mullen and Company, was a CIA front that provided cover to CIA agents worldwide.”

Which is why all of our elected officials, however good they may have seemed, are immediately subverted. The entire methodology of the CIA seems to be all about blackmail.
