I was visiting my uncle and his family in Fairfax Virginia in the summer of 1974. My uncle was an Air Force officer based at the Pentagon. One day he woke us all up early and piled us into the car. We went into DC and got to stand at the fence surrounding the White House. We got a first hand view of Nixon walking out to Marine One for the last time.

Nixon was a very Liberal Globalist who started the sellout to China. No tears for him.

My thanks to your uncle for serving, and so amazed that you were actually there to witness history.

Eventually, truth will finally come out

Reading all this, it sounds as if the truth HAS been out, for quite a long time... and, simply ignored by the media, and hence by all.

The whole thing never made any sense to me. As mentioned in the aricle, Nixon had NO NEED to be breaking in. Everyone knew he was going to win easily.

This is the first I’ve read of the other theories. They are far more believable.

“Reading all this, it sounds as if the truth HAS been out, for quite a long time... and, simply ignored by the media, and hence by all.”

Hopefully, the staggering boldness of the media’s post-election-steal gaslighting over the last two years, will rekindling interest in past media gaslighting campaigns, such as Watergate.

Even the least brainwash-able among us have lost hope that the truth will ever be told - but what if there is hope after all?

Maybe a half century of gaslighting has created a “truth bubble” that must eventually pop.

I hope I live to see it.

For that to happen we would have to re-elect Trump and give him an unstoppable MAGA majority house and senate.

Their cheating tentacles are too deep for that to happen without divine intervention.

This is going to correct the record about Nixon approximately as much as M. Stanton Evans and the Venona Papers were able to correct the record about McCarthy.

“Their cheating tentacles are too deep for that to happen without divine intervention.”

That’s true - but the political corruption, which you so aptly call “their cheating tentacles”, could not happen without the media corruption.

If the Democrat Party were ever to lose its grip over the media - the cheating would be impossible. Remember, they stole the election in broad daylight - they got caught red-handed - but because of their media monopoly, they were able to cancel anyone who dared to speak up about it.

One classic example of this was three years ago when that CNN reporter in Fergeson described the “mostly peaceful protest” - while right behind him, we could all see rioters literally setting buildings on fire and throwing bricks and Molotov cocktails at police cars.

Maybe it will take divine intervention, but I have to think such blatant gaslighting has to be eating away at the foundation of the media’s credibility. Sure the Democrats will continue to cheat, but perhaps they will pay a political price bigger than losing control of the House and Senate.

They may lose control of their most valuable prize - their media monopoly.

G Gordon was CIA, that is all one needs to know. He was also a “very hard man”.

They have lost control of their media monopoly, thanks to the internet. Now they are just playing whack-a-mole with various censorship schemes on social media, but alternatives continue to pop up faster. Respect for journalism is right there with used car salesmen and congress.

What we are witnessing is the thrashing of the dying legacy media. But a dying giant is still dangerous, even as it falls.

“They have lost control of their media monopoly, thanks to the internet.”

The Internet may have dealt the the media monopoly a death blow at its foundation, but it has yet to fall. Most people are still content with being spoon-fed their daily narratives.

Most people believe whatever is written in history books without questioning it. Most people have been duped into believe the heroes are the villains, and visa-versa.

I sure hope I live long enough so see the general public learn the truth - I am so tired of having nearly everyone around me thoroughly brainwashed.

Seems the fall is very slow right up until it happens all at once.

What I worry about is that these evil monsters have so hollowed out every other institution, education, the courts, science and medical that they crash civilization because everything and everyone is so blind and dumb.

And just because legacy media is failing, does mean that new and even more pernicious media won’t take their place.

I feel similarly and it’s both interesting and curious to watch and also terrifying.

I knew G G Liddy, the 8th chapter of his book the Monkey Handlers told the tale. He even had documentation on it. John Dean and several others tried to sue him for slander and defamation but when it came time for Discovery, they dropped their cases. Now that Liddy has passed on, they think they have retaken the narrative. Liddy would also speak of it on his radio show as well. I wonder if their are archives of that?

Patrick Fitzgerald knew from the beginning the source was Richard Armitage but he perjury trapped Scooter Libby anyway by suborning perjury from Judith Miller.
