One of the bumbling crooks in the infamous Watergate Hotel break-in that set off the chain of events leading to the resignation of President Richard Nixon has died.

Alfred Baldwin III, who later became a star witness for the prosecution against the rest of the burglars, died after a battle with cancer in January 2020 but his death was not made public until now. He was 83 years old.

50th anniversary of Watergate next month. The media will play this on endless loops to get the Durham bombshells and vote fraud out of the news.

E. Howard Hunt testified before the United States Senate Watergate Committee on September 25, 1973 that he suspected Baldwin of being a double agent with ties to the Democrat Party who betrayed the Watergate operation.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I didn’t realize that natural deaths could be hidden from the public so easily, for so long.

They did the same thing to Nixon that they tried on Trump. It was the deep state that took Nixon out. But I never understood why, Nixon was a team player.

Probably, but one problem with that is that it is going to look like a fairly minor incident compared to Russiagate, the conspiracy theory promoted 24/7 for three years that REALLY has no evidence.

The FIB can hide deaths? That doesn’t sound very good.

Crazy! I was thinking earlier today about Watergate.

Just a thought: Perhaps this is coming out now because we will soon be given a whole lot more information about this case. I remember that Liddy hinted about a prostitution ring. Betting that a lot of information about some hideous DC practices is about to surface.

“It was the deep state that took Nixon out.”

And they got rid of Agnew too. What was the DS up to that they needed these two out of the way?

Nixon hated Communists too. That’s the real reason why he had to be destroyed.

Amazingly, after 50 years, we still don’t know who ordered the break-in or what the burglars were seeking.

The fbi is a criminal organization and has been so for decades.

Here are a few items the mainstream liars don’t mention wrt to
Alfred Baldwin.

Baldwin (born 1936) graduated from Staunton Military Academy in 1953. The central Watergate figure John Dean, born 1938, graduated from Staunton (along with Barry Goldwater Jr) in 1957. Perhaps this Staunton connection had something to do with Baldwin’’s hiring by James McCord. John Dean worked on demonstration intel and the anti-war movement for both the DOJ and Nixon WH and Baldwin was ideally placed to serve as an informant living in anti war Ground zero of New Haven from ‘66-72.

Baldwin joined the Marine corps as an officer trainee in 1957 in the same group as journalist Hodding Carter. Hodding Carter would be the mentor (he recommended the DNC hire her) of Maxie Wells. the DNC secretary Baldwin often overheard while monitoring the Watergate bug. Hodding Carter by the way was a ‘53 Philips Exeter classmate of Watergate prosecutor Earl Silbert and journalist Bob Lenzner brother of Watergate investigator Terry Lenzner (Philips Exeter ‘57). Silbert handled the Maxie Wells situation in a very dubious fashion.

Maxie quit the DNC in ‘72 and went to Atlanta to work for. Voter registration drive. She then joined the staff of Atlanta architect John Portman. Portman was an Annapolis ‘47 classmate and friend of Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter. Maxie then left Portman to join Governor Carter’s staff as his traveling secretary, eventually working in the WH 1977-78.

In a 2005 Education Forum appearance Baldwin said that “between 1966 and 1972” he worked for retired Admiral and noted submarine skipper Victor B McCrea as an aide and adjunct professor for the director of the law enforcement program at U of N Haven . According to Baldwin he not only taught courses he also interviewed and hired the faculty. Young Bill Clinton was an adjunct. Prof at the school 1971-73. Did Clinton and Baldwin cross paths? During 1972 Clinton worked with and socialized with figures listed in Mafia Madame Heidi Rikan’s black book like Morris Jaffe, Ben Barnes. future DNC John White, and Congressman John Young. Clinton’s aide in the 1972 Texas McGovern effort was John Dean’s ghost-writer Taylor Branch.

After Baldwin left the FBI he briefly worked as security officer for the Adley Express Co. (owned by politically active Clayton Gengra). He was replaced by Wayne Bishop. the former CT state police intel unit captain. Bishop would later be appointed Ervin Committee field investigator.

Within a month or so, led by the Washington Post, the utterly corrupt rotten media will start celebrating the “50th Anniversary of Watergate” fairy tales.

Baldwin died January 2020 and like ihis mysterious boss James McCord the death announcement was delayed. Was that to delay FOIA requests for
US Gov Documents?

“Nixon was a team player.”

The left got on Nixon for trying to stop the release of “The Pentagon Papers”. Nixon used his dirty tricks squad on the guy that released them iirc. The Pentagon Papers was as report made by the Johnson administration documenting how poorly the war in Vietnam was being run (under Johnson). Nixon could have used it to discredit the Dems, but he didn’t want it out because it discredited America.

Same with Watergate. Right before the silence on the tapes Nixon says something about “This could bring up the whole Cuban thing...” (something like that). I’ve always thought he was talking about the Bay of Pigs disaster (Kennedy) as one or two of the guys involved in the break-in had been involved in the Bay of Pigs under Kennedy (I think they were Cubans?)

Anyway - while Nixon had his issues, I think he always put America first.
