With tomorrow being the 50th anniversary of President Richard Milhous Nixon resigning the presidency, over the next few days I will be publishing articles relating to that event, and his legacy as a whole.

I, of course, remember exactly where I was when President Richard Nixon addressed the nation to announce his resignation…
I was attending the Young Republican National Federation committee meeting in Reno, Nevada — and I was crying like a baby.
There is no president in history - besides perhaps President Donald Trump - who has been treated as unfairly as Richard Nixon.
After being elected in 1969, he enjoyed a historically high approval rating, and won every state contest besides Massachusetts and Washington, D.C. when he ran for re-election in 1972.
He was wildly popular among everyday Americans — emblematic of his sweeping victory everywhere besides the uberwealthy state of Massachusetts, and the deep state’s headquarters: Washington, D.C.
That all changed when Bob Woodward — a congenital liar and Navy intelligence asset with no prior journalistic experience — teamed up with junior report Carl Bernstein to begin covering the now-infamous break-in at the DNC offices at the Watergate office building.
Their investigation uncovered involvement within Nixon’s campaign — and eventually caught Nixon personally in the cover-up.
And who was Woodward’s top source used to uncover this?
While Woodward himself insists that his source "Deep Throat" — the number two man at the FBI, I believe USA Today reporter Ray Locker makes a far more compelling case that Woodward's primary source was actually former Kissinger deputy, later White House Chief of Staff, General Alexander Haig.
Newsmax reporter James Rosen revealed that the CIA was well-aware of the plan to break into the Watergate complex offices of the Democratic National Committee, and that the agency infiltrated the burglar team with Watergate burglars E. Howard Hunt and James McCord still actively doing the agency's bidding.
Rosen based his findings on recently declassified government documents.
I myself exposed the fact that Nixon was well-aware of the CIA’s role in John F. Kennedy’s murder, and was actually heard on the famous Watergate tapes telling CIA Director Richard Helms, “I know who shot John.”
I published that bombshell story right here on Stone Cold Truth:
Tucker Carlson actually did a terrific show based on my discovery of the White House tape in which Nixon reveals that he knew who killed Kennedy and why.
My friend Dylan Allman also recently wrote a great synopsis outlining the many conventional lies about Watergate.
For the most complete explanation about what actually happened in the Watergate scandal, investigative reporter Nick Bryant has recently published the single best account in his book The Truth About Watergate.
So the CIA’s involvement in taking down Nixon is not a conspiracy theory. It is a fact of record.
Nowhere will you find a better run-down of the Deep State's efforts to takedown Nixon than you will find here.
In this rare post-presidency interview with his former aide Frank Gannon, Nixon addresses the topic of CIA involvement in his fall from power.
While he does not come straight out and say that it was the CIA, he comes pretty close:
“I would say that I've found it difficult to understand why the CIA, which apparently had advanced knowledge of the break-in, didn't inform me. I found it difficult to understand how it could have been that at least two of those involved had CIA connections and nevertheless that it was not brought to my attention as far as the break in occurring.”
Speaking on motive, the former president stated:
“I must say too the CIA had motive. It was no secret that I was dissatisfied with the CIA with its reports and particularly with their appraisals of Soviet strength and our other problems around the world.”
Responding to a question about if the CIA feared him, he said:
“No question about it, and they had reason to. I was going to shape up that organization and the Defense Department. The whole government for that matter. But particularly that one. At one occasion I said I thought we could cut a third of the people out of the CIA and do a better job.”
Concluding the point, he states that it is worth looking into:
“I'm not prepared to say whether there was a conspiracy or not. I would only say that it should make a fascinating study for an investigative reporter. He won't win any prizes by writing anything that would not be anti-Nixon. But on the other hand, it would perhaps be historically interesting.”
