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.

"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.

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?

In 2019, my book "Postgate: How the Washington Post Betrayed Deep Throat, Covered Up Watergate, and Began Today’s Partisan Advocacy Journalism".....

I would strongly recommend people either read or listen to Will Irwin's study of Journalism. Today's advocacy journalism has been with us since day one when "Objective" journalism was born in the 1920s. It has always been about advocacy, but, but advocacy while wearing a mask. It did NOT begin at Watergate.

The American Newspaper

The text is free - the audio book is also free. Every bit of it is in the public domain. The audio files are not all that long - it's a short and succinct work.

In particular, the first section (1) goes quite into detail about "the power of the press", but by no means is every bit of important information about the manipulative nature of journalists encapsulated in section 1.

Watergate was NOTHING compared to what Biden, Obama and the Clintons have done. NOTHING. They can scream Watergate all they want but real Americans know who’s ridin’ dirty. The worst thing about is those two putz reporters, Schlomo and the Shyster have been making book for decades off it with nothing but what I wouldn’t even call “hack” talent.

Let’s not forget John Dean’s role in this whole affair.
Dean was the one that sent the “ plumpers” into the Watergate.
Dean was worried he would be connected to Maureen Kane, a DNC hooker

The compost and the slimes are both CIA fronts. Most “news” is simply cia-controlled propaganda.

Daniel Elsberg was a nuclear weapon designer working at Sandia Labs. Probably the W76 warhead.
The FBI found out he was loosing his mind and they were worried he would defect.
This is the real reason behind the break in and why the FBI knew so much of the details.

Nixon was taken out by the MSM for his re-supply of Israel after the ‘73 war. Watergate was just the justification.
