Thank you so much Brandy. Yea, I felt the same way, it kinda fucked me up, it was like, oh, so they’ve done this before. It’s the difference in their ability to propagandize us now compared to in the 70s. The amount of lies they feed us now, when we can verify shit, we can’t imagine how much they lied back then. “For the greater good” right? I always was told that Nixon was the biggest crook that ever held office! No doubt he wasn’t perfect, he did try the silence the Pentagon Papers, but then, that was related to watergate too! Daniel Ellsberg won at trial for leaking the Pentagon papers because the same guys who broke into watergate hotel, the CIA employees, also broke into Daniel Ellsbergs therapists office looking for dirt on Ellsberg. That was uncovered and Ellsbergs case was dismissed. Ellsberg was a fearless anti war activist, I’m not saying he was bad, but the CIA set that up too to chip more away from Nixon image. It’s a bottomless pit of corruption. Thank you for reading and sharing Brandy.

Commenting a bit as I go so I don't forget: didn't know about Woodward/Watergate. Feeling a bit unmoored. This is what they tried to do to Trump. Now I feel bad for Nixon. Sounds like I should.

I'm working on a piece on how coups work in the new age and the opposition research in Russiagate, the protests during 2020, being ok'd by the media, when we were in the middle of a lockdown, they called for in an election year, that was a coup. Without a doubt. It's the same thing we do in other countries, when we have a government that won't play ball with American interests, and when the coups fail we go to war.
