THE CFR ELECTS NIXON
The career of Richard M. Nixon began in 1946, when, backed by Eastern
Establishment money, he came out of obscurity to defeat incumbent
Congressman Jerry Voorhis in California, who was anti-Federal Reserve.
Voorhis wrote in a pamphlet called Dollars and Sense: "...the
representatives of the American people in Congress should speedily
proceed to transfer the ownership of the 12 Federal Reserve Banks from
the private ownership of the member banks to the ownership of the nation
itself."
In 1952, Nixon and Earl Warren, then the Governor of California, helped
create an Eisenhower majority within a California delegation that had
been leaning towards Robert Taft, an anti-communist. Nixon was rewarded
by being selected as the Vice-President, while Warren was named to the
Supreme Court.
During the 1960 Republican Convention, Nixon, the Republican nominee,
left Chicago and flew to New York, where he secretly met with Nelson
Rockefeller. A subsequent news release indicated that Rockefeller had
requested the meeting, when in fact Nixon had. The result of the meeting
was the Fourteen Points of the "Compact of Fifth Avenue," which injected
Rockefeller's socialistic plans into the Platform of the Republican
Party.
After losing to Kennedy, Nixon ran for Governor in California, but lost
to Pat Brown in 1962. He left his law practice, and moved to New York,
where he worked as a partner in the law firm of John Mitchell, who was
Rockefeller's personal attorney. He lived in an apartment at 810 Fifth
Avenue, a building owned by Rockefeller. He was a CFR member from
1961-65, and it was during this time that Nixon rebuilt his political
career.
On November 22, 1963, the citizens of Dallas, Texas, found in their
Dallas Morning News an unsigned leaflet titled "Wanted for Treason." At
the top appeared John F. Kennedy's picture, and a list of reasons for
the accusation. It was later discovered that it had been drafted at a
Pepsi-Cola 'convention' in Dallas, by lawyers of the Rockefeller law
firm of Nixon, Mudge, Rose, Guthrie, and Alexander, to be used as an
attack on Kennedy during the 1963 Presidential campaign. There is more
than one Kennedy Assassination researcher who feels that Nixon had prior
knowledge of Kennedy's shooting, though no hard evidence has ever come
to light.
While it is widely accepted that there was a conspiracy behind Kennedy's
death, as the volumes of evidence prove, there has never been a single
group pinpointed as the mastermind of such a plan. The complexities
involved in such a cover-up, certainly point to the Illuminati, because
they are the only group in the world, operating behind the scenes, able
to influence and control all the elements necessary to pull off
something like this. His murder was carried out publicly, because they
wanted the political leaders in this country to know who was in control.
Ten days before he was shot in Dallas, it has been reported that
President Kennedy said in a speech at Columbia University: "The high
office of President has been used to foment a plot to destroy the
American's freedom, and before I leave office I must inform the citizen
of this plight."
There has been a phenomenal amount of research done on the case of
President Kennedy's murder, and it almost seems that when he died, the
tide changed in this country. The forces behind the assassination of
Kennedy were able to change the course of history at will, and with the
new-found confidence at their success, the power they gained, literally
allowed them to exert complete control over American government.
One fact that linked the Illuminati to the Kennedy conspiracy was the
oil connection. Huge oil fields had been discovered off the coast of
Vietnam in 1950, and Rockefeller was able to use oil as a ploy to
ferment a fear that Vietnam would be lost to Communism, the way Cuba
was. However, Kennedy wanted to end American involvement in the war, and
in October, 1963, he recalled 1,000 so-called advisers. He planned to
bring home all American soldiers by 1965. After Kennedy was eliminated,
the U.S. government escalated the war in Vietnam. Billions of dollars
was being made from the war, because war is good business. This money
source would have ended.
Though the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), an offshoot of the
Coordinator of Information, was initiated in 1942 by President
Roosevelt, President Harry Truman was the one responsible for its
evolution into the Central Intelligence Agency in 1947. He also began to
see its growing power. In a column that appeared in the Washington Post
on December 21, 1963, he revealed his feelings about the agency: "For
some time I have been disturbed by the way the CIA has been diverted
from its original assignment. It has become an operational and at times
a policy-making arm of the government." On January 16, 1961, in his
'Farewell to the Nation,' President Eisenhower said: "In the councils of
government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted
influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial
complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists
and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination
endanger our liberties or democratic processes." Kennedy's hatred of the
CIA was well-known. After the Bay of Pigs disaster, he fired CIA
Director Allen Dulles (who had secretly developed plans to expand the
Vietnam War), and said he wanted "to splinter the CIA in a thousand
pieces and scatter it to the winds." Using a federal statute, Kennedy
was going to force J. Edgar Hoover, the aging Director of the FBI, to
retire, because he wanted somebody who better represented his New
Frontier.
Conservative in his economics, it was his intention to circumvent the
Federal Reserve, by returning the authority to "coin and regulate money"
back to the Congress, rather than have it manipulated by the
international bankers who print the money and then loan in back to the
federal government- with interest. On June 4, 1963, he signed Executive
Order #11110 which called for the issuance of $4.3 billion in United
States Notes through the U.S. Treasury, rather than the Federal Reserve,
very similar to what Abraham Lincoln did. The Order also provided for
the issuance of "silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver,
or standard silver dollars in the Treasury not then held for redemption
of any outstanding silver certificates, to prescribe the denominations
of such silver certificates, and to coin standard silver dollars and
subsidiary silver currency for their redemption." This meant that for
every ounce of silver in the U.S. Treasury's vault, the government could
issue money against it. This resulted in the introduction of more than
$4 billion worth of U.S. Notes into circulation, consisting of $2.00 and
$5.00 bills; and although they were never issued, $10.00 and $20.00
notes were in the process of being printed when Kennedy was killed. On
Monday, November 25, 1963, the day of Kennedy's funeral, President
Johnson signed an executive order to recall the U.S. Notes that had been
issued by Kennedy's earlier directive; and five months later, the Series
1958 Silver Certificate was no longer issued, and was subsequently
removed from circulation.
And to top matters off, he advocated a strong West Germany; and after
winning the showdown with Russia over Cuba, signed a limited nuclear
test ban treaty with the Soviets. Needless to say, Kennedy's agenda was
contrary to the plans for a New World Order. As Jacqueline Kennedy was
getting ready to leave Air Force One when it arrived in Washington,
still wearing the bloodstained clothing from Dallas, she said: "I want
them to see what they have done." A very strange comment to make since
Oswald was already in custody.
In 1968, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy promised an honorable end to the Vietnam
War, and with Martin Luther King, Jr. delivering the Black support,
Kennedy most likely would have been elected President. However, that did
not fit into the plans of the Illuminati, who wanted to prolong the war,
and wanted Nixon to be President, because he represented the instrument
that would perpetuate their goals. Again, there is plenty of evidence
that points to a conspiracy in the assassinations of Bobby Kennedy, as
well as King. The likelihood that the same forces were involved is
evident, because again, the course of the nation was altered to fit into
their plans.
The Illuminati didn't want Nixon elected in 1960, and to insure that he
wasn't, Eisenhower told the country that he couldn't think of a single
thing that Nixon had done to help, during the eight years of his
Administration. That comment and his haggard appearance during the
debates, were the two main things that kept him from being elected.
However, in 1968, the responsibility of moving the country closer to
socialism, and towards a one-world government, was put upon his
shoulders. Former Secretary of the Navy, J. William Middendorf II,
Finance Chairman of Nixon's 1968 campaign, said that at 5:30 AM on the
morning after Nixon's election victory, Nelson Rockefeller and William
Rogers went to Nixon's room to help select his Cabinet.
He appointed Mitchell, his campaign manager, to be his Attorney General.
He appointed Henry Kissinger to be his Secretary of State, even though
Kissinger's views were the complete opposite of his own. In reality, the
Kissinger appointment was urged by Nelson Rockefeller, so the Illuminati
could control U.S. foreign policy. At the beginning of each of his
terms, Nixon offered the post of Treasury Secretary to David
Rockefeller, but he refused it. It was Nixon who chose George Bush, the
former Texas Congressman, to be the Chairman of the Republican Party,
after Bush lost the Senate race to Democrat Lloyd Bentsen in Texas; and
later appointed him to be the Ambassador to the UN, the Ambassador to
China, and the Director of the CIA.
In his 1971 State of the Union Address, Nixon said: "We in Washington
will at last be able to provide government that is truly for the people.
I realize that what I am asking, is that not only the Executive Branch,
but even the Congress will have to change by giving up some of its
power." Three days later, he announced that the country was being
divided up into ten federal districts, and in February, 1972, he signed
Executive Order #11647, which gave the government the power to
accomplish that division. The Ten Regional Councils, a direct extension
of the Executive Branch, since then, have been getting control of local,
county, and state governmental functions, through federal loans.
Nixon told ABC news correspondent Howard K. Smith, that he was
"Keynesian in economics." This was a reference to John Maynard Keynes,
the English economist and Fabian socialist, who said he was promoting
the "euthanasia of capitalism." Even though his policies had already
indicated it, Nixon was basically saying that he was a Socialist.
Nixon had resigned from the CFR in 1962, when it became an issue in the
California gubernatorial primary campaign, but later rejoined. In his
book, Six Crises, he wrote: "Admitting Red China to the United Nations
would be a mockery of the provision of the Charter which limits its
membership to 'peace-loving nations'..." Yet he wrote in the October,
1967 edition of Foreign Affairs about how he would have a new policy
towards Red China. Even after a July 15, 1971 statement on Radio Peking
in China that called for the "people of the world, (to) unite and defeat
the U.S. aggressors and all their running dogs," Nixon accepted an
invitation by Premier Chou En Lai to go to China, where the groundwork
for trade relations was established.
In the early 1970's, things began to go sour for Nixon. It was the
establishment newspapers, the Washington Post and the New York Times who
forced a third-rate burglary onto the front pages, and turned Watergate
into a major media event, which forced President Nixon to resign from
office. As more and more facts came out, it was quite obvious that
Watergate was a move by the Illuminati to get rid of an uncooperative
President.
Watergate can actually be traced back to 1956, when Nixon's brother,
Donald, received a secret loan from Howard Hughes. It proved to be
embarrassing when it surfaced during the 1960 Presidential election.
Nixon vowed revenge against the Democrats, and later discovered that
Democratic Party Chairman Lawrence F. O'Brien had been secretly retained
by Hughes. Nixon sent a memo to Chief of Staff H. R. Haldeman, in
January, 1971, to get his Special Counsel Charles Colson to get the
proof so that they could expose him. It was believed that the second
break-in at the Democratic National Committee on June 16-17, 1972, was
to retrieve any derogatory information the Democrats had on the
Republicans, but it was later revealed that the main goal was to place a
bug on the frequently used phone that was in the area of the DNC that
housed the offices of R. Spencer Oliver, his secretary, and the Chairman
of the State Democratic Governors organization.
In March, 1974, financier Robert Vesco told CBS's Walter Cronkite in an
interview, that six months before Watergate, a group had come to him who
"were going to attempt to get initial indictments of some high officials
using this as a launching board to get public opinion in their favor and
using the press media to a great degree. The objective was to reverse
the outcome of the public election." There had been an article in the
Washington Post pertaining to a secret contribution to the Republican
Party, and this group of Democrats had went to him, seeking more
information to use against Nixon. The three people that Vesco dealt
with, "were names that everyone would recognize (who) held extremely
high posts in past Administrations." Vesco told New York Times writer
Neil Cullinan, that Watergate was intentionally created to stop Nixon.
Nixon aide Bruce Herschenson said that the Watergate plot was
deliberately sabotaged "by a non-elected coalition of power groups."
Former CIA agent, James W. McCord, Jr., the security chief for the
Committee to Re-Elect the President, has been accused of being a double
agent, and used to bring Nixon down by sabotaging the break-in at the
Watergate Hotel.
There is evidence to believe that the police had been tipped off on the
night of the break-in. Detective Lt. Carl Shoffler, and three other
officers, who usually went off duty at midnight, just happened to stay
on for the next shift, and was parked just a minute away from the hotel
complex. When the security guard, Frank Wills, found the tape on the
door, and called the police, it was those officers who came immediately
to arrest the White House 'plumbers' (Special Investigations Unit). To
top it off, McCord and Shoffler were friends.
McCord had entered the Watergate while it was still open, and put some
tape on one of the doors so it wouldn't lock. The tape was put on
horizontally, so that it could be seen between the doors. When the
'plumbers' arrived hours later, instead of the doors being open, they
were locked, which indicated that the piece of tape had been discovered.
They left, since there was no longer any assurance of a successful
operation. McCord told them to go back and pick the lock, since the
police had not been called. E. Howard Hunt and his Cuban accomplices,
did this, and left tape on the door for McCord to get in. About five
minutes later, he joined them. He was supposed to remove the tape from
the door, but he didn't; however, he told the other 'plumbers' that he
did. He also instructed them to shut-off their walkie-talkies, so the
static wouldn't be heard, which means they were inside the office
without being able to hear any outside communications taking place. They
were caught, when Wills discovered the door taped for a second time.
Afterward, on March 19, 1973, McCord wrote a letter to Judge John J.
Sirica, which turned the Watergate affair into a national crisis, by
saying that Attorney General John Mitchell was involved, that campaign
money was used to pay the 'plumbers,' and that the White House was
trying to blame the CIA; when in fact the White House had engineered the
entire operation, and Nixon covered it up. This came after Nixon held a
press conference to say:
"There is no involvement by the White House."
In the years since Watergate occurred, one simple fact seems to have
emerged, and that is, that Nixon probably had no prior knowledge of the
break-in. White House Counsel John Dean III ordered it and "deceived the
President of the United States into joining a conspiracy to obstruct
justice in order to cover up a crime that Nixon had not committed."
If it wouldn't have been for the discovery of the Watergate tapes, Nixon
may very well have survived the scandal. Gen. Alexander M. Haig, Jr., an
aide to National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger, who later became
Nixon's Chief of Staff, controlled the vault where the tapes were kept,
and secretly made copies of the transcripts available.
Haig became Cyrus Vance's (CFR member, Secretary of the Army, later
Deputy Secretary of Defense under Robert McNamara, who was also a CFR
member) assistant in 1962. After a short tour of duty in Vietnam in
1966, where he was decorated for bravery, he was made a full colonel in
1968. He transferred to West Point to assist Commandant Gen. Andrew
Goodpaster (CFR) for two years, after which Goodpaster recommended Haig
to Kissinger in 1969, and Haig was put on the National Security Council.
In less than a year, he was promoted to general, and in two more years,
to major-general. Although he had served only four months as a battalion
commander, and one month as a brigade commander, in 1972 he was given
four stars, and nominated for Army Vice Chief of Staff. It was said,
that 183 other generals, who were more deserving, were passed over. Ford
would later promote him to Supreme Allied Commander in Europe. He
resigned in 1979 because he was critical of Carter's defense and foreign
policies. He became the chief operating officer of United Technologies,
only to return to government for 18 months as Reagan's Secretary of
State. Haig was a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
John Dean claimed that 'Deep Throat,' the man who leaked information to
Bob Woodward of the Washington Post, was Alexander Haig. Haig denied it.
Woodward had claimed that he didn't meet Haig until 1973, however, it
has since been revealed that prior to Woodward becoming a reporter, he
was a lieutenant in the Navy, and as a special briefing officer, and had
contact with Haig at the National Security Office in the White House. It
now appears that Haig had a huge role in bringing Nixon down.
So why did the Illuminati turn against Nixon? In addition to the
previously mentioned economical changes, he infuriated Kissinger by
bombing North Vietnam without consulting anyone. It was even rumored
that Nixon was planning to get rid of Kissinger. However, Kissinger was
the Illuminati's man in the White House, and his job was to control
Nixon, so he was the one running the show.
Some very interesting information surfaced about Henry Kissinger. In
1961, Col. Gen. Michael Goleniewski, of Polish Intelligence (GZI),
defected to the United States, bringing with him 5,000 pages of secret
documents, 160 microfilms of secret reports, 800 pages of Russian
intelligence reports, plus the names of hundreds of Soviet agents in
American and Europe. State Department Security Officer, John Norpel,
Jr., testified before the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee that the
information provided by Goleniewski was never proven to be inaccurate,
and Goleniewski was honored by the 88th Congress for his efforts.
The documents indicated that after World War II, Russia established an
ODRA spy ring in Poland to infiltrate British and American intelligence.
The GZI, discovered that one communist agent, code-named 'Bor,' had
worked with another agent, Ernst Bosenhard (a clerk at the U.S.
Intelligence Headquarters in Oberammergau, Germany), who had been
sending secret documents to Moscow. Bosenhard was convicted of espionage
in 1951. 'Bor' returned to the United States, and was secretly working
with the CIA, while teaching at Harvard University. 'Bor' was identified
as Sgt. Henry Alfred Kissinger.
Kissinger became a consultant on security matters during the
Administrations of Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson; and served as
Nelson Rockefeller's chief advisor on foreign affairs. In his book White
House Years, he called Rockefeller, "the single most influential person
in my life." His book, Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy, in 1957,
established him as the leading authority on U.S. strategic policy, and
he was the one who initiated the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT).
There should be little doubt where his allegiances are in regard to his
support of one-world government.
This story took on additional meaning, when in 1965, former CIA Chief of
Research and Analysis, Herman E. Kimsey, used fingerprint, dental and
medical records, handwriting analysis, blood tests, and interviews with
childhood friends and relatives to reach a conclusion that Goleniewski
was actually Aleksei Romanoff, the son of Nicholas II, who survived the
alleged Communist massacre of the Russian Royal family.
The Bolshevik government had claimed, that in the middle of the night,
July 16, 1918, they had captured the seven members of the Russian
Imperial family, which included the Czar Nicholas, his wife (Alexandra),
son (Aleksei), and four daughters (Olga, Tatiana, Maria, and Anastasia);
as well as Dr. Eugene Botkin, the imperial physician, and three
servants; and murdered them in the basement of the Ipatiev house in
Ekaterinburg (now Sverdlovsk). They took their bodies fourteen miles
away to the abandoned Four Brothers Mine, soaked the bodies with
gasoline, attempted to burn them, and buried them in the swamp. They
were only successful in burning the two youngest ones, Aleksei and
Anastasia. Their personal belongings were thrown down a mine shaft.
Fearing that they would be discovered, two days later, the bodies were
retrieved. Those remaining were buried in the middle of a dirt road,
where in 1979, they were discovered by a local historian and Soviet
television personality, who excavated two skulls, analyzed them, and
then reburied them. The discovery was finally announced in 1989.
In 1991, the final resting place of the Romanov's was "reopened for the
last time," and the remains, a box of bones purported to be five of the
seven Romanov's, were removed for DNA analysis. In 1995, the tests
results were released, which indicated that the remains were that of the
Royal family. However, many Russians doubted the claims, and in 1998,
when a funeral was finally held, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church
ordered the officiating priest not to refer to Romanov's by name, but
instead, as the "victims of the Revolution." The priest said before the
funeral: "The truth is I don't know who I am burying."
According to the official report, there were a total of 23 people in the
cellar, which measured 17 feet by 14 feet. One of the first
investigator's on the scene, Captain Malinovsky, of the Officer's
Commission, concluded: "As a result of my work on this case I became
convinced that the imperial family was alive. It appeared to me that the
Bolsheviks had shot someone in the room in order to simulate the murder
of the imperial family." Some have suggested that it was only Dr. Botkin
and the servants who were shot.
In December, 1970, documents released by the British Government revealed
that President Wilson backed a secret mission to Russia that resulted in
the rescue of the Czar and his family, who were smuggled out of Russia
in the back of trucks, and then taken by ship to Europe where they have
lived since 1918. The Report said that, "Sir William Wiseman, a partner
in the New York banking house of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.," received $75,000
from the U.S. government as part of a "scheme" for a secret mission to
rescue the Czar and his family.
Prince Kuli-Mirza, commander of the 'White Russian' forces, believed
that the Royal family survived, and showed Gleb Botkin, the son of the
Czar's doctor, documents which said that "the imperial family had first
been taken to a monastery in the province of Perm, and later to
Denmark." A 1919 book called Rescuing the Czar, by James P. Smyth, who
identified himself as an American secret agent, revealed how he led the
Romanovs through a secret tunnel to the British Consulate in
Ekaterinburg, and from there they were secretly taken to Tibet.
The remains of the two youngest of the Romanov children, Aleksei and
Maria, have never officially been located; and through the years, there
has been some evidence to suggest that Aleksei and Anastasia may have
survived the execution. An entry in the diary of Richard Meinertzhagen,
a former British intelligence agent, suggested that one of the Czar's
daughters escaped; and in the 1993 book The Romanov Conspiracies,
British writer, Michael Occleshaw, also claimed that one of the Czar's
daughters survived.
The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk between Russia and Germany, which was signed
on March 3, 1918 to end the hostilities between them, was said to also
contain a codicil that guaranteed that the Romanov's would not be
harmed. The Russian people were to continue believing that they were
dead, so the communists could replace the monarchy. It had been hoped
that the Bolshevik government wouldn't survive, so they could return,
but it never happened.
On June 11, 1971, the New York Daily Mirror announced the exclusive
publication of "Reminiscences of Observations" by 'His Imperial Highness
Aleksei Nicholaevich Romanoff, Tsarevich and Grand Duke of Russia.' The
U.S. Government never officially recognized Goleniewski as a Romanov,
because history reported that prince had suffered from hemophilia, an
incurable genetic disease- but Goleniewski didn't.
The Czar left millions in American and European banks, which today is
worth billions, and some researchers have made the claim, that the
respective governments wanted to keep the Romanovs "dead," because
without the existence of a surviving heir, the money that had been left
behind probably had already been 'taken' by the international bankers.
Goleniewski pledged that as the Czar's heir, if he would be granted his
rightful inheritance, he would use the money to destroy Communism.
Nixon also angered the Illuminati because of his choice of Vice
Presidents. After Vice President Spiro Agnew resigned because of income
tax evasion charges, Establishment insiders had urged Nixon to appoint
Nelson Rockefeller. However, Nixon instead, appointed Gerald Ford to be
his Vice President (who, when he became President, did appoint
Rockefeller to be his VP). If Rockefeller would have been appointed, he
would have become President after Nixon was destroyed. So, Nixon ruined
their plans, and may have known that, because after he resigned, he was
having problem with a swollen leg, and said that if he would have gone
to Bethesda Naval Hospital to get it taken care of, he would have "never
come out alive."
Later, Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme would attempt to shoot Ford on September
5, 1975; and on September 22, 1975, Sara Jane Moore would also attempt
to shoot Ford. Moore said she was trying to expose the nation's "phony
system of government" by elevating "Nelson Rockefeller to the
Presidency." In a June, 1976, Playboy interview, she said that there was
a "part that I don't think I can talk about. I just haven't figured out
a way to talk about it and protect everyone. I'm not saying that anyone
helped me plan it. I'm not just saying that there are other things-
which means there are other people, though not in terms of a conspiracy.
There are areas I'm not willing to talk about for a lot of reasons." The
article also said that U.S. District Judge Samuel Conti, "added to the
air of mystery surrounding her case (and) sealed all the trial
evidence." This certainly gives some serious overtones to the attempts
on Ford's life, and if they were actually intended to elevate
Rockefeller to the Presidency.
The bottom line seems to be, that Nixon got cocky. With the Illuminati
hoping to have world control by 1976 (it was "rescheduled" for the
mid-eighties), Nixon was hoping to follow in the steps of Woodrow Wilson
and Franklin D. Roosevelt who were virtual dictators, and began acting
on his own to bring about change, so he could head the world government.
On May 21, 1971, James Reston (CFR) wrote in an article that appeared in
the New York Times: "Mr. Nixon would obviously like to preside over the
creation of a new world order, and believes he sees an opportunity to do
so in the last twenty months of his first term." It is likely that the
plan to get rid of Nixon was beginning to take shape at that time.
In the summer of 1973, Republicans partial to Nixon had announced to the
Washington media that they wanted Nixon to be elected to a third term
and had organized a group known as 'The Committee to Repeal the
Twenty-Second Amendment.' The movement sort of died within a couple of
weeks. Then in October, came the rumor that Nixon may be considering a
military coup to stay in office. Gen. Alexander Haig told the Congress
during his confirmation hearings for the position of Secretary of State
on January, 1981, that some people in Washington were "flirting with
solutions which would have been extra-Constitutional." Watergate Special
Prosecutor Leon Jaworski warned the grand jury, that if they decided to
indict Nixon, he may use force to remain in office. In June, 1982,
Harold Evans, Watergate grand juror, appearing on a segment of the
ABC-TV news show "20/20." said that Jaworski told them, that if they
indicted Nixon, he might "surround the White House with armed forces."
On October 26, 1973, in a Washington Star article called "Has President
Nixon Gone Crazy?" syndicated columnist Carl Rowan wrote: ".in the face
of a vote to impeach he might try, as 'commander-in-chief' to use
military forces to keep himself in power." In another article called
"The Pardon," in the August, 1983 edition of the Atlantic Monthly,
Seymour Hersh, one of Nixon's Joint Chiefs of Staff, wrote that in a
December 22, 1973 meeting:
"He kept on referring to the fact that he may be the last hope, (that)
the eastern elite was out to get him. He kept saying, 'This is our last
and best hope. The last chance to resist the fascists' (of the left).
His words brought me straight up out of my chair. I felt the President,
without the words having been said, was trying to sound us out to see if
we would support him in some extra-constitutional action ... (Secretary
of Defense James) Schlesinger began to investigate what forces could be
assembled at his order as a counterweight to the Marines, if Nixon- in a
crisis- chose to subvert the Constitution. The notion that Nixon could
at any time resort to extraordinary steps to preserve his presidency was
far more widespread in the government than the public perceived..."
He felt it would be led by General Robert Cushman, the Marine
Representative on the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who had been loyal to Nixon
ever since he had been his military aide while he was the Vice President
under Eisenhower. Schlesinger, in July, 1974, believing the Washington
contingent of Marines to be the probable force used in a coup attempt,
began developing a strategy to bring in the Army's 82nd Airborne
Division from Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
On August 2, 1974, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger admitted that
General Haig had informed him that Nixon was considering the idea of
surrounding the White House with troops. In an August 27, 1974. article
in the Washington Post, called "Military Coup Fears Denied," the fact
was revealed that: "Defense Secretary James Schlesinger requested a
tight watch in the military chain of command to ensure that no
extraordinary orders went out from the White House during the period of
uncertainty (and) that no commanders of any forces should carry out
orders which came from the White House, or elsewhere, outside the normal
military channels."
Tantamount to a military coup, and contrary to the Constitution, the
Joint Chiefs of Staff sent a secret communiqué to all Commanders of the
U.S. military forces around the world: "Upon receipt of this message you
will no longer carry out any orders from the White House. Acknowledge
receipt."
Rather than a plot by the Illuminati to militarily take over the
government, it seemed to be more of an attempt by Nixon to keep from
getting pushed out of office by the powers that actually run this
country. In the end, he knew what kind of power he was dealing with, and
resigned his office on August 9th, rather than risk what remaining
credibility he had, by trying to grab what he could not hold. His
