Wasn’t “Deep Throat” an FBI agent? Ray Epps might be related?

“ Everybody looked awful in the mid-70s.”

Because we were thin?

Speak for yourself!!

I had some pretty sweet satin shirts for dancing! With silk-screened logos! Maybe they were silk!

And I had a nice leisure (looking) suit from Chess King!

C’mon man!

Still, fire up that DeLorean and take me back to 1975.

PLEASE

More the mens’ clothes and haircuts.

Now the girls, I must say were much better looking than today IMHO.

Holy cow! My 70’s PTSD is kicking in. My sister lined everything she had in plaid when Saturday Night was released in the US! I still have nightmares.

The tentacles of Watergate did not stop in Washington D.C.

The collapse of South Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos followed the Nixon resignation.

At least one million people died in those three countries after Nixon was impeached.

Assistant FBI Director Mark Felt was likely Deep Throat.

Or it is possible that the powers that be, want us to believe that.

“one million people died”

DC did not care, they “GOT” Nixon.

Like they try to GET Trump.

MMusson:

“5 of the 6 Watergate Burglars were on the CIA payroll. Deepthroat Mark Felt was an FBI director whose day job was leaking information to the Press to embarrass politicians the FBI did not like. And, the ‘journalist’ Woodward was not really a journalist. He had spent a decade working in the Intelligence community.

It was all a frame up.”

From the article:

“Five men with varying degrees of connection to the CIA and the Nixon campaign were arrested with lockpicks, huge amounts of cash, and other cartoon burglary equipment. Hunt’s name was found in two of the men’s address books, along with the White House phone number. The scene was so colossally moronic that it almost seemed as if the burglars were trying to get caught.”

My era, but I wore Levi’s and wore boots.

Wore boots almost my entire life.

Sure, had common dress shoes, but none of what you described.

Graduate from College in 1970.

Did not go to Ivy League school.

I was fooled as a teen reading All The Presidents Men. Someone broke my bubble about 20 years later proving the whole Watergate thing was a fiasco to get rid of Nixon/peace in Vietnam and destabilizing America. Enter Jimmy Carter and on and on.

I ask more questions now.

They wanted Nixon’s scalp ever since he served on HUAC.

DC = District of Corruption.

Lies, Propaganda and Deceit.

And they have almost succeeded in totally destroying the Rule of Law, under the Constitution.

Those who are doing this, deserve punishment.

Nothing further.
