A former FBI agent who outed himself as Watergates Deep Throat is not Jewish, contrary to what President Nixon and his aides believed.
Mark Felt, 91, revealed himself to Vanity Fair magazine this week as the best-known anonymous source of the last century. Nixon, who clashed with Felt over the FBIs refusal to use questionable means to track down leaks, came to suspect that Felt leaked information. In a 1972 conversation recorded on the Nixon tapes, top aide H.R. Haldeman tells the president that Felt is Jewish. Nixon expresses shock that a Jew could have reached such a senior post, and speculates that Felt J. Edgar Hoovers right-hand man might be leaking information because he is Jewish.
In fact, Felt is of Irish ancestry and claims no religious affiliation.
He was a criminal democrat goyim then?
Yes, Nixon was a good friend to Israel. Golda Meir in her autobiography, "My Life" (1975) went out of her way to say kind things about Nixon, even though that was really un-PC in the Watergate aftermath.
She wrote about watching the first big U.S. transports land in Israel with equipment & supplies during the darkest days of the Yom Kippur War. She wrote about the exceptional kindness she received from the Nixons while visiting the White House.
And she could joke with Nixon, which was not an easy feat for many others.. Once when she met with President Nixon, he told her that he would trade any three American generals for General Moshe Dayan. Okay, she said, Ill take General Motors, General Electric, and General Dynamics. Nixon laughed out loud at her wit, and they always had a good relationship.
