To begin, as promised:
Exploding the Watergate Myth
But what ever happened to that earthshaking revelation about covert operations by “the entire U.S. intelligence community”? In the nearly half-century since Watergate, we’ve never heard another word about it. Not from the Post, anyway.
There was always another big question about Watergate: why would the Nixon White House have wanted to burglarize Democratic headquarters in the first place? It was already obvious that Nixon was heading for a landslide victory. He didn’t need any DNC dirt. Even in the movie, an unnamed editor at the Post, played by John McMartin, tells Bradlee: “I don’t believe the story. It doesn’t make sense.” The motive for the burglary remained murky for decades.
While this particular piece itself is all about explaining that “All the President’s Men” didn’t tell the entire story – which it didn’t – the reality is, this is one in a series of pieces, interviews, books, and more that are steady coming together to rehabilitate President Richard Nixon’s reputation. The truth of the matter seems to be that Nixon was really NOT a Washington insider, and the swamp ran him out of town on a rail.
A lawyer from Nixon’s administration, Geoff Shepherd, wrote two books on the matter. From him we learn that “Tricky Dick” was a nickname given to Nixon by a liberal Democrat celebrity he ran against for Congress in 1950. It had nothing to do with his presidential races in the beginning. Nixon was the person in Congress to out Alger Hiss. For this, among the Intelligence Community, he was a marked man. He was not an insider, and neither were the three men known as “the Berlin Wall,” Bob Haldeman, John Mitchell, and John Ehrlichman. They were loyal Nixon people.
All of them had to go, whether the charges were true or not. (They weren’t.)
And now we are seeing Nixon’s legacy reformed. Why? Well, if Juan O. Savin is correct – and word is that he got mouthy about something and was subsequently cut off from juicy information right after he made this claim – Nixon was the one to teach/prime President Trump on how the establishment in the swamp would work to take him down. Richard Nixon died in 1994. If it is true that Nixon did this, President Donald Trump has been in the white hat loop for decades…and Richard Nixon did play a part in THE PLAN.
And those are my thoughts.

Watching politicians lose their fucking minds and start spending billions of dollars because of three hot days during summer but do absolutely nothing to combat one and a half years of relentless and record gas prices is the most moronic thing today.

The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Company manners are appreciated. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog out discussions best saved for a wrestling mat. If, for some reason, this site is not available, head over to the UTree and visit the post at the top of the list or the closest rescue thread.
This site is a celebration of the natural rights endowed to humans by our Creator as well as those enshrined in the Bill of Rights adopted in the founding documents of the United States of America. Within the limits of law, how we exercise these rights is part of the freedom of our discussion.
THAT MEANS THAT ALL OF US HERE ARE ENTITLED TO OUR OPINIONS AND PREJUDICES, ETC., SO LONG AS THEY CAUSE NO PHYSICAL HARM TO OTHERS OR DOXX OUR FELLOW TREE DWELLERS.
All opinions here are valued for the diversity they bring to the issues, and the shaping of understanding regarding topics for which many of us do not have all information. Correcting the record on any one topic is appreciated.
Be careful in expressing thoughts as we would all like to think well of the rest of the group, and ill-thought out comments have a way of wrecking that for everyone.
Fellow tree dweller, the late Wheatie, gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:
- No food fights
- No running with scissors
- If you bring snacks, be sure they are made with bacon

WISDOM 8:9-16
9Therefore I determined to take her to live with me, knowing that she would give me good counsel and encouragement in cares and grief. 10Because of her I shall have glory among the multitudes and honor in the presence of the elders, though I am young. 11I shall be found keen in judgment, and in the sight of rulers I shall be admired. 12When I am silent they will wait for me, and when I speak they will give heed; and when I speak at greater length they will put their hands on their mouths. 13Because of her I shall have immortality, and leave an everlasting remembrance to those who come after me. 14I shall govern peoples, and nations will be subject to me; 15dread monarchs will be afraid of me when they hear of me; among the people I shall show myself capable, and courageous in war. 16When I enter my house, I shall find rest with her, for companionship with her has no bitterness, and life with her has no pain, but gladness and joy.
2 CORINTHIANS 5:14-21
14For the love of Christ controls us, because we are convinced that one has died for all; therefore all have died. 15And he died for all, that those who live might live no longer for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised. 16From now on, therefore, we regard no one from a human point of view; even though we once regarded Christ from a human point of view, we regard him thus no longer. 17Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come. 18All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; 19that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. 20So we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We beseech you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
LUKE 9:1-6
1And he called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, 2and he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal. 3And he said to them, “Take nothing for your journey, no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not have two tunics. 4And whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart. 5And wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.” 6And they departed and went through the villages, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.
