The presidency of Richard Nixon was tumultuous from beginning to end. He left office in disgrace, but was it because of him or those surrounding him?
For the past several years we have been focusing on the extraordinary levels of corruption that seem to control the D.C. swamp and every Federal agency therein.
And, although things seem to be getting much worse by the day, we need to understand the nature of the beast called shadow government.
When you do, you will marvel at the fact that we still have an illusion of representative constitutional government in 2024.
Join us as we delve into the Watergate Affair and the many bad actors that were involved in the resignation of Richard M. Nixon.

Connecting the Dots
Various guests to our podcasts have alerted us to the control and takeover of our government by the various intelligence agencies, primarily the CIA.
During WWII a new spy agency was formed under the banner of Military Intelligence and was named the OSS (Office of Strategic Services) under the guidance of a Brigadier General known as Wild Bill Donovan.
At the end of the war, this agency morphed into the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and became permanent and totally separate federal agency under the guidance of politically connected and very powerful spy-master Allen Dulles who turned “the Agency” into the most powerful and corrupt quasi-military force on earth.
Under Donovan, Dulles and a succession of CIA Directors, nothing, including the Office of the President, was beyond the reach of the CIA and their ability to direct national policies and decide who lives and dies.
The presidency of Richard Nixon and The Watergate Affair is certainly a case in point. “TPTB” created the CIA as a tool to maintain and grow the “military industrial complex” that President Eisenhower warned of as he was leaving office.
Eisenhower's Vice-President Richard Nixon gained national prominence as a rabid anti-communist and was looked to as an ally of the military industrial complex when he won the Presidency in 1968.
When Nixon showed signs of becoming a peace maker by ratcheting down cold war rhetoric and looking for ways to end the Vietnam War before it killed the U.S. economy, he soon discovered the CIA unseen hand that controlled the Media, Executive Branch agencies, and Congress through bribery, blackmail, intimidation, extortion, even assassination.
Although the Watergate break-ins were not outside the realm of possibility for a President known for political paranoia, the way the whole operation was bungled from the beginning leads one to suggest the whole thing might have been a setup to take down a sitting President that had fallen out of favor with TPTB.
Although not common knowledge, Henry Kissenger was brought into the White House as a Presidential Advisor and Secretary of State at the behest of David and Nelson Rockefeller; major donors to the Nixon Presidential Campaign.
Kissenger was a credentialed expert on international affairs and a devout globalist who had at one time been Nelson Rockefeller's personal secretary/assistant and had worked with the Rockefeller Brother's Trust to promote CFR programs aimed at ending national sovereignty and promoting world socialist government controlled by powerful international corporations and elite bankers.
It was Kissinger and the Rockefellers at the heart of attacks against Spiro Agnew that brought Warren Commission Member and serving Congressman Gerald Ford in as Nixon's successor and shortly thereafter shepherded Nelson Rockefeller into the Whitehouse as Vice President.
Rockefeller would have replaced Ford had either Squeaky Fromme or Sara Jane Moore been successful in 2 attempts to kill President Ford. Coincidence?
Maybe Nixon's paranoia was misplaced, maybe not.
Using the term nest of vipers to describe the District of Columbia in general and the three letter intelligence agencies in particular, might be the classic understatement.
Climbing the ladder of political success and acquiring power without climbing over the riddled bodies of detractors is nearly impossible in a system built on corruption and devoid of principle.
Those few that do, rarely survive for more than a few terms in office and are either compromised into submission or sent packing. Richard Nixon was a strange paradox of a man; paranoid and politically savvy on the one hand, yet naive and far too trusting of the intentions of his subordinates.
Was Nixon guilty as charged or was he set up by CIA special ops personnel and bought and paid for media shills willing to lie through their teeth to destroy a presidency.
The 1950s, 1960s and 1970s set the stage for a transition into Globalism that is nearly complete.
The Trump Presidency and the relentless attacks by left and right are merely a continuation of a process started in 1946 with the U.S. embrace of the U.N. and the creation of the CIA.
