Watergate -- reasons behind the burglary (pt. 1)

nixon hated the zionist jews that were dominating the media (newsweek ,the new york times and washington post all owned by zionist jews )and dont forget AIPAC They set this shit up for sure to get him out everything else doesnt make sense and Im not anti semitic Im anti zionist so was Nixon

i would say a paranoid schitzophrenic.

they sure do make nixon out to be schitzophrenic in all the movies having everybody under phone taps like paul newman and john lennon. i just wonder if he really was?

speaking of harry truman did you know that when he left the white house and went home to retire he lived on his social security for the rest of his days? i cant remember just how much but it wasnt much money at that time.

Harry Truman received no pension after leaving office. I don't know that he relied upon SSI as his only source of income, but I do know that he was not a wealthy man.

because life is not a film

You're right, life is not film; but for men who were supposed to be experienced in covert operations. If you've studied the details of the break-in itself, you'll quickly see that even a rank amateur could have done better.

I know what you mean but I believe that stuff like "24" and other similar TV shows and films lead us to erroneously believe that, despite ALL experience that governments/civil servants/police forces are UTTERLY incompetent, there exists some secret higher plane of superhuman ability. I think it doubtful, and rather police officers and/or lone losers who rise to the heights of secret service remain just as vulnerable to collosal incompetence.

What gets me is that Watergate is, in some ways, what TV and film fodder is what Watergate was made of; it was totally nonsensical from beginning to end.

There was no Democrat who could have defeated RMN in '72; the party itself was in the state of disarray. All Nixon had to do was sit back and let the Democrats lose the Presidential race.
