The media is widely seen as the most corrupt, vicious & vile institution in existence. Their transition to a diseased organ of vitriol & hate happened during Nixon's time in office. They are now seen as utterly criminal compulsive liars that defile the nation.
but you can't isolate them like that. They are the property of the same entities who own big oil, big pHarm and the governments of the world themselves. They are well on their way to us owning nothing and "being happy" because they'll oblige the injection of soma into our bodies.
Great comment, Stephen. After what the corporate media did over the last five years with their program of contrived pandemic fear mongering on behalf of their pharmaceutical industry paymasters, your description of them as “a diseased organ of vitriol and hate” is right on the money.
You raise important points in your post. Another worth mentioning is not only did Nixon incur the enmity of liberals and media, but—and I think this was his political downfall—the enmity of the MIC through his promotion of more peaceful relations with the USSR and China. Since JFK, no president has gotten away with doing that. When I was young, because I existed within the bicoastal progressive intellectual bubble, I learned to despise Nixon. I cursed at him through the TV screen during his resignation speech. How stupid I was. I wish now I could shake his hand and thank him for his patriotism and foreign policy brilliance. I trust history will redeem him.
maybe you're forgetting about expanding the unjust and stupid vietnam war. Why did he go to Laos? He seems to have accepted to suck up to the military industrial complex. He couldn't be believing that drafting young americans into a hell where they had to kill people who deserved to live to stay alive was good for america. And if he did, then he was just a New World ODOR chump.
I don't know how old you are, but I remember it personally. I was 1A, and I was weeks away from being sent to Vietnam. LBJ had declined to run for reelection because he had become universally despised. It is LBJ who turned the decades old conflict in Vietnam into a full-scale war. Most only know of Vietnam, but neighbors Cambodia and Laos were also involved. Nixon ran on a promise to end the war. He did.
But it's true that he didn't end it immediately. As he reduced USA troop numbers in Vietnam, he also authorized increased bombing of Cambodia and Laos. I was still sweating getting called up, and didn't know what to expect next. Why did Noxon increase bombing even as the war was winding down? I suspect that it was an effort to make the withdrawal safer. Nixon was definitely trying to take out the Viet Cang supply routes that ran in Laos. Anyway, it's absurd to think that Nixon just decided to bomb Laos for the hell of it. The war finally ended, and I didn't get a called up.
Today, Nixon is almost entirely known for Watergate. When you look at the dirty, filthy politics in Washington today, Watergate seems almost quaint. We are now a banana republic, and it took only three years to pull off. The people who have done this hope that you never stop looking at Watergate and start looking at them.
Obviously, you've swallowed the media distortions about Vietnam hook, line, and sinker. Nixon was bequeathed an LBJ mess and finally got us out of there. We went into Laos and Cambodia to destroy the sanctuaries for the NVA/VC despite the hue and cry about so-called "widening the war" which the enemy did with impunity prior.
You are correct. The Viets were using both Laos and Cambodia as staging and transport areas. So Militarily, it made sence to bomb those areas. Just remeber it is easy to monday night quarter back after 50 years. But back then, nothing was for sure. This was a time of PRECIEVED world wide struggle against communisim. Nixon had inhereted a war and wanted to end it. One way to assist with that was putting pressue on the Viets militarily . It made sence. And it did assist during the Paris peace talks. Would haveit been better if Humphrey or McGovern had gotten in instead of Nixon? ...Doubt it. Nixon played a good hand with what he was delt with and ther man might not have done so well.
Were you alive then? Just like another poster you are unaware of what actually happened at Kent State,Vietnam, and elswhere in this country. Nixon had to clean up the mess that LBJ created. It's easy to Monday morning quarterback 50 years later.
and you have missed the point that america was in vietnam bothering vietnamese people in their homes for no good reason. That's the only point you needed to understand and you surely still won't see it now that I've pointed it out.
There's the problem. People like you continuing to repeat conclusions drawn from beliefs which all miss the whole point every time.
Unless you want to tell me that there was some good reason for the u.s. army to have been in Vietnam? Good luck.
sorry, your story doesn't hold water logically. Unless the NVA/VC sanctuaries were preventing u.s. airplanes from loading u.s. soldier onto them and flying away.
your reference "this" is just not clear at all. So I'm taking this opportunity to repeat a thing I just wrote elsewhere. America was in vietnam bothering vietnamese people who'd done nothing to america.
That FACT means that America was wrong, everybody who participated was a fool or worse. You should have chosen prison instead of participating in one of the world's biggest idiocies. Worse still, you're seemingly defending it now.
You obviously no nothing about why we went there and what actually happened. We can thank LBJ for the mess he left for Nixon. Don't bother to respond because of your blather.
You can honestly thank Kissinger for that. Christopher Hitchens did a great piece on him 26 years ago that I believe was published as a book==but I've seen the details elsewhere as well.
It's true that Nixon inherited the mess from LBJ, but before that, JFK inherited the mess from Eisenhower who unintentionally scaled up the war with stop-gap measures to help the hapless French who should not have gone back to Indochina at all. They needed to clean up their own yard after WWII. Their being there was a fault of De Gaulle's ego. Viet Nam was an unmanaged mess when JFK took over in 1960. On top of that he had a full plate fighting the MIC over other big issues in the Whitehouse. Then as soon as the reins of power were in the hands of LBJ, a full supporter of the MIC, he turned it into a super mess. By 1968, Nixon was the only person in the game with an honorable perspective- to end the war. Kissinger was just going through motions of peacemaking. His heart was with the deep state. I knew at the time Nixon was being shafted. Monica Crowley worked for him, admired him and wrote a book about him. Her article here is a good one.
Thanks, Kal, for one comment that correctly places the blame for the entire VN conflict on the French. Had they not been so worried about their colonialist interests, the French and we Americans might have realized that the ultimate fate of VN had zero bearing on the security of the French and American homelands.
I remember the 24/7 hate and attacks against President Nixon and the unified press against him. People today are never taught the context of the time: Nixon inherited a massive 10,000 miles distant-half-a-million-US-servicemen war against a relentless and deadly enemy, who was fully supported by the Soviet Union/Warsaw Pact/Communist China, a Civil Rights apocalypse, with major cities burnt, a full-on and enormously expensive "Race to the Moon", a deadly Cold War that also occupied major parts of our military forces, and the Arab-Israeli conflicts. All the while being sabotaged by the pro-enemy "Peace Movement" and the three television broadcasters (ABC, CBS, and NBC) and nearly all of the print media.
He took all of this on - and he initiated the rapprochements with China and the USSR, began the Peace talks with the North Vietnamese, supported Israel when they most needed it, landed the men on the moon, and signed the Civil Rights Act. These were monumental achievements, yet his opponents searched over and over for some issue to get rid of him - the "Milk Fund Scandal", the "Bebe Robozo is his Friend Scandal", the "Secret Bombing of Cambodia Scandal" - but none of these got traction. Watergate was developed into a daily drumbeat of new revelations, carefully doled out over time to magnify and distort. When his friends turned on him in Congress, he resigned.
I remember that day - it was an American tragedy and loss and coincidentally the North Vietnamese violated the terms of the peace deal and South Vietnam was overrun right after he left office and Congress had cut the support for our allies.
That same pattern has been repeated by the Democrats/Left on every Republican president since - and it's happening now to President Trump.
Nixon was blackmailed by my uncles boss Robert Strauss Aka Bob. Robert Maxwell and Bishop Gorman ran a sex blackmail operation that Epstein inhabited in later decades. But same operation.
Strauss had him in a bind.
The men who Nixon employed to help him also worked for Strauss so it was lose lose for Nixon. Robert Kennedy had started an investigation into organizations involved with crimes and stealing nuclear weapons and materials. Nixon was given intel that Strauss and Greenspun’s safe held proof. Nixon was also told that safe held information about Dallas 63. It did.
How would I know? My uncle Curtis murdered for Strauss, Greenspun, Giancana and Marcelo. My father was USMC and close friend and kin to Roscoe White. And my father trained with traitors including Robert Oswald.
They all drank at Ruby’s and Weinstein’s clubs. Ruby was Giancana’s half brother.
So again how do I know that?
Besides the fact that I had family members connected?
My cousins, peers and I grew up working for Strauss, Marcelo and the Russo families. I was Strauss personal runner in 78-79. Before I was in National Security.
maybe you can get into the story with Kissinger while Nixon was president. I'm thinking Kissinger set him up for the watergate mess. We should dig Kissinter up and stuff him.
nixon made the mistake of thinking that he could let them have their way on some things in order to be able accomplish something good with what remained to him.
But what I'm seeing is that you can't compromise with psychopaths without losing everything.
I still only see one solution. Disabling functionaries without hurting them physically. But definitely hurting their pocket books and making their children be ashamed of what their parents do to permit them to survive.
We can't pay them more than the new world ODOR is paying them, cause the ODOR has stolen all of our money
But we can make it impossible for the ODOR to have people working for them.
Nixon was hated, hated by the press. He deserved better. His great mistake was loyalty. He did not know of the watergate break in but He tried to cover up the break in. But his accomplishments were legion. Stopped the 73 Egyptian /Israeli war. Helped stop the slaughter in Rwanda (1st time) Pulled us out of Vietnam, And of course China... and many more
NO. he got us OUT. Something Johnson could not do because it was an integral part of his policies. Victory is around the corner !! Just look at all the enemy we killed, the massive bombings !!! It wasn't, didn't, couldn't. But wait ! if only we could use more powerful weapons, attack Hanoi, look at that "Tonkin" incident !! Good people of unquestioned bravery and patriotism sent to their deaths so that some corporations and a military industrial complex machine could do their thing. Nixon went against all that and decided, no more, much to the chagrin and opposition of the profiteers and manipulators.
johnson didn't run because he knew that he would lose for what you just described. So maybe Nixon did that in the hopes of being president again in 1976. Nixon didn't dig out the papers showing that Tonkin was a false flag though he surely could have.
But the things they got away with in those days, the deceit, the propaganda, all of it costing people their futures, their very lives.
It continues to this day. Eisenhower warned us but nobody quite understood the full implications of his warning.
It is my belief, my hope, that a single issue of such staggering historical import and consequence, the hoarding of captured or recovered technology, who knows from where...really the only thing is that it is all real, will prove the turning point in the overthrow of the clever "Interregnum" which has somehow superseded and controlled the real elected government for decades. A few brave people have come forth and started the wheels of inevitable disclosure turning. The fight to delay that, oblivion it, deny it, disavow it, has begun, with the media in the forefront of posturing deniability.
Eisenhower? The guy who called the german prisoners of war "disarmed enemy combattants" (or something like that) so that they wouldn't be covered by the geneva convention. Then he turned down the red cross' offer to feed everybody and he put the german soldiers in open fields with fences around them and guards. No buildings. It was winter. They all died of hunger or exposure. They made films with them too, so we'd all believe that they were jews in concentration camps. And they filmed them being pushed by bulldozers into mass graves, again saying it was jews. I saw those films in hebrew school at 12 years old. Sounds pretty psychopathic (the behavior of the hebrew school administrators). Well I'm satisfied that those were germans being pushed into the common graves, because I just looked at the film again for the first time in 50 years and I didn't see a single left inner forearm IBM tattoo on anybody. So they clearly weren't jews in concentration camps.
He may of relented to public pressure , but the fact is...he is the one who started the draw down. Another may have followed the military's advice and doubled down on failure. Nixon did not.
I put it more on the kids of the sixties and seventies preferring their lives to their "country". I'm not old enough to have experienced the public reaction to the draft at the time of the "korean conflict". Were people more accepting of this idea of patriotism meaning being ready to lose one's life to defend the interest of psychopathic arms producers and oil producers and patent medicine producers?
I apologize for not being able to find the quote. But, when asked about Nixon's resignation, Eric Hoffer (the Longshoreman Philosopher) warned to the effect that once the intellectuals had drank the blood of a president, they would crave the taste forever more.
Since Nixon got the US out of Vietnam, thereby cutting off the CIA’s easy Golden Triangle heroin pipeline access (with associated bankster money laundering), I suggest the London Bankster establishment forced Nixon to temporarily shut the gold window, after which they had him Watergated for revenge.
Nixon should have just told them to get fucked. The US didn't print the dollars that the Euro banks were lending out, so they had no call on our gold. It's not on us that they lent securities ties to the value of the US Dollar and didn't have the assets to back that in stock.
I’ll never forget what I now recognize as the deep state taking a victory lap in “All the President’s Men,” a film that enjoined so many young college students to become “journalists.” We now know that Deep Throat was an FBI agent, and that the deep state took Nixon down.
People hate without knowledge -- Huxley's warning about the very purpose of propaganda applies: to dehumanize the other. We see also how the German people were manipulated to hate Jews; how many Americans are being conditioned to hate fellow Christians, or their own Constitution and flag -- all dependent on ignorance. Yesterday at the dentist I mentioned RFK and "MAHA" to the doctor: she had not heard the MAHA acronym at all, and responded that she knew about RFK's brainworm and whale head. The MSM is brainwashing Americans into self-enslavement!
An interesting sideline to the JFK/RMN presidential debate. Nixon was in the hospital with pneumonia. His doctors didn't want to release him. His staff told him to postpone the debate. He refused both of them by checking out of the hospital then participating in the debate.
Personally, I don't care how popular Nixon was. His final nail in the coffin of the gold standard has completely debased the currency. It's led to a complete uncoupling of the growth of productivity and the economy from wages, and the wealth of the average American.
The graphs on that website are why everyone's grandkids are so despondent about the economy, even if they don't know enough to phrase it that way. My grandparents' generation, my parents' generation (Boomers) and my generation (Gen X) lived high, eating all the seed corn -- worse, since we somehow ate more seed corn than actually existed in the form of the national debt -- and it's finally come to a point where the bills are coming due.
Sorry for the massive tangent. I just see the name "Nixon" and my brain goes straight here. 🤪
February 2016, in Commentary Magazine, James Rosen published a summary of how Bob Woodward did the bidding of his deep state masters in "Bob Woodward's Sins Of Omission." Mr. Rosen has an encyclopedic grasp of the players and details surrounding Watergate. After reading Mr. Rosen's report it was clear to me that naval intelligence officer Woodward was\is the front-man in a determined, well-executed plan to remove Nixon and destroy honest journalism in the United States. Their evil mission is accomplished. Now it's up to us, the people. Here's the link to James Rosen's excellent report: https://www.commentary.org/articles/james-rosen/bob-woodwards-sins-omission/

The "Four Dead in Ohio" were protesting Nixon's bombing of the Khmer Rouge.
Neil Young, Walter Cronkite and most doofus Americans somehow missed this.
Neil Young came outa Toronto which helps explain his cheese-head. Americans have no such excuse.

But his accomplishments were legion. Stopped the 73 Egyptian /Israeli war. Helped stop the slaughter in Rwanda (1st time) Pulled us out of Vietnam, And of course China... and many more
pulled us out of vietnam? No. He yielded to public pressure. Last time I saw the public be so strong.

New Evidence Proves Watergate Was A Lawfare Scam (2:33:17)
Tucker Carlson Interviews Geoff Shepard

Yes, I bought Shephard’s book after watching the Tucker interview—will read it shortly!
I apologize for not being able to find the quote. But, when asked about Nixon's resignation, Eric Hoffer (the Longshoreman Philosopher) warned to the effect that once the intellectuals had drank the blood of a president, they would crave the taste forever more.
oh nice!
Excellent article.
Since Nixon got the US out of Vietnam, thereby cutting off the CIA’s easy Golden Triangle heroin pipeline access (with associated bankster money laundering), I suggest the London Bankster establishment forced Nixon to temporarily shut the gold window, after which they had him Watergated for revenge.
https://www.bullionstar.com/blogs/ronan-manly/british-requests-for-3-billion-in-us-treasury-gold-the-trigger-that-closed-the-gold-window/
a lot of evil comes out of the London banksters.
Familiar with the case of Dutch banker Ronald Bernard? (Or that of model Gabriela Rico Jiménez?)
Nixon should have just told them to get fucked. The US didn't print the dollars that the Euro banks were lending out, so they had no call on our gold. It's not on us that they lent securities ties to the value of the US Dollar and didn't have the assets to back that in stock.
That's an illuminating article. Thanks for posting it.
My pleasure
I’ll never forget what I now recognize as the deep state taking a victory lap in “All the President’s Men,” a film that enjoined so many young college students to become “journalists.” We now know that Deep Throat was an FBI agent, and that the deep state took Nixon down.
Yep… I too was a dumb teenager in 1974, attending a CSNY concert in Jersey City. It was the day Nixon resigned and the crowd was electrified.
The encore was “Carry On” as Graham Nash jumped on stage and screamed “Nixon is out, so we mush carry on”!
Yah… I had drunk the koolaid back then.
MKUltra created the hippie move. You just got sucked into it.
And Jesus pulled me out of it.
People hate without knowledge -- Huxley's warning about the very purpose of propaganda applies: to dehumanize the other. We see also how the German people were manipulated to hate Jews; how many Americans are being conditioned to hate fellow Christians, or their own Constitution and flag -- all dependent on ignorance. Yesterday at the dentist I mentioned RFK and "MAHA" to the doctor: she had not heard the MAHA acronym at all, and responded that she knew about RFK's brainworm and whale head. The MSM is brainwashing Americans into self-enslavement!
I don't know what MAHA is either. I figured if the lefties-loosies hate it it must he something good for the country.
Make America Healthy Again.
Thank-you!
An interesting sideline to the JFK/RMN presidential debate. Nixon was in the hospital with pneumonia. His doctors didn't want to release him. His staff told him to postpone the debate. He refused both of them by checking out of the hospital then participating in the debate.
Of course he looked pale ...
Personally, I don't care how popular Nixon was. His final nail in the coffin of the gold standard has completely debased the currency. It's led to a complete uncoupling of the growth of productivity and the economy from wages, and the wealth of the average American.

The graphs on that website are why everyone's grandkids are so despondent about the economy, even if they don't know enough to phrase it that way. My grandparents' generation, my parents' generation (Boomers) and my generation (Gen X) lived high, eating all the seed corn -- worse, since we somehow ate more seed corn than actually existed in the form of the national debt -- and it's finally come to a point where the bills are coming due.
Sorry for the massive tangent. I just see the name "Nixon" and my brain goes straight here. 🤪
Agree with you on the gold standard issue.
Richard's problem, he was an introvert and didn't defend himself right
February 2016, in Commentary Magazine, James Rosen published a summary of how Bob Woodward did the bidding of his deep state masters in "Bob Woodward's Sins Of Omission." Mr. Rosen has an encyclopedic grasp of the players and details surrounding Watergate. After reading Mr. Rosen's report it was clear to me that naval intelligence officer Woodward was\is the front-man in a determined, well-executed plan to remove Nixon and destroy honest journalism in the United States. Their evil mission is accomplished. Now it's up to us, the people. Here's the link to James Rosen's excellent report: https://www.commentary.org/articles/james-rosen/bob-woodwards-sins-omission/
