You're good for a laugh, but you are so lucky that the country no longer allows the involuntary commitment of the insane. Do you really and seriously believe that Nixon wanted to cut the CIA's budget? He was actively using the CIA at the time in Chile, Bolivia and elsewhere. After Nixon was forced out, Democrats took over Congress and put limits on the CIA's powers. The CIA had no reason to take down Nixon. It was a disappointed FBI man (Mark Felt) who got Nixon out.
I think the writer is making an assumption that because the CIA was involved in anti-communist activity, they automatically were opposed to Nixon’s detente with the USSR and rapprochement to China. I suspect you’re correct, they knew which political party supported them.
We know that the Washington Post and the New York Times (odd that axis again, isn't it?) were all about getting Nixon.
Nixon was Eisenhower's VP, and Eisenhower, as you know, warned of the "Military Industrial Complex." (Really the Government Industrial complex as he clarifies later in his speech.)
So we see them today pulling the exact same sh*t on Trump. Make up a fake scandal, use their news liar assets to spread the false claim, and attempt to stage a coup against a lawful president.
Some weeks back there was an article on Free Republic where one of Nixon's lawyers explained what was going on. I think I may have pointed it out to people at the time, but it was the corrupt deep state that deliberately set Nixon up.
The Military Industrial complex stood to make a lot of money, you know, kinda like routing *ALL* Southern export trade through New York, and so if Nixon made peace with China, that might disrupt the cash flow.
If we have peace, then why do we need all those expensive weapon systems that the rich elite in the Northeast produce?
Our system is corrupt. It has been corrupt for a very long time. This vaccine crap is another example of how corrupt the system is.
You just don't want to believe it was corrupt going all the way back to the 1850s.
It was corrupt, going back that far, and probably further.
Yes, Ben Bradlee was CIA.
So Woodward & Burnstein are really CIA agents?
Speaking of which, does anybody remember what, exactly, the "Plumbers" were looking for in the Watergate? It was never mentioned at the time, and I don't think I've heard it more than once since -- now I forget.
I'd think, if the CIA, or some nefarious creatures in the CIA, were in on the coup against Nixon, then they were relatively minor players.
The key players were actually Nixon's fellow Republicans, like John Dean who exposed the alleged plot and Republican US Senators who told Nixon he must resign.
It's a lesson Watergate investigators like young Hillary Rodham learned well and used to keep her own Pres. Slick from getting impeached some 23 years later.
