Totally agree with you on Nixon, no sympathy for him whatsoever but I'd bet my house Watergate was totally about "The Bay of Pigs Thing." CIA spook HW Bush right in the middle of it all, both Ben Bradlee and Bob Woodward "former," Naval Intelligence, please. I am happy to say we can agree about some things. E Howard Hunt was sending sealed pouches by courier back to the CIA, while working in the White House. Many on the Watergate break-in were CIA. Then, as now, nothing is so important in Washington as accepting the conventional view of your wing of the political spectrum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was too soon after JFK to murder his ass so they took him out another way. The Bush family, three generations of attempted coups against the US.

Joseph McBride Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) I wrote in my 1988 reporting for The Nation about Poppy Bush of the CIA being the head of the RNC when Nixon resigned, but Richard Lingeman, the editor who revised my first Bush article, took it out because he said I was "paranoid" to link the CIA to Watergate. That tells you a lot about The Nation's mindset; Lingeman and another member of the staff when I was there had intelligence connections. The Nation also refused to run my well-documented third article about Bush and Parrott and the JFK assassination. Editor Victor Navasky told me to avoid writing about the assassination because he said it is a "quagmire." So eventually I wrote about all those episodes regarding Bush and The Nation in INTO THE NIGHTMARE.
