Aug 9 1974

Finally bowing to pressure from Senator Barry Goldwater and RNC chairman George Bush, President Richard M. Nixon resigns from office.

(from his tapes I suppose)

NIXON: Every one's a Jew. Ellsberg's a Jew. Halperin's a Jew.

HALDEMAN: Gelb's a Jew.

NIXON: But there are -- Hiss was not a Jew. Very interesting thing. So few of those who engage in espionage -- are Negroes. ... In fact, very few of them become Communists. If they do, they like, they get into Angela Davis -- they're more the capitalist type. And they throw bombs and this and that. But the Negroes. -- have you ever noticed? ... Any Negro spies?

HALDEMAN: Not intellectual enough, not smart enough... not smart enough to be spies.

1. BTW, a strong WARNING about browsing Rotten.com

Rotten.com is the place you go when you want to see video of beheadings, police standoffs where peoples brains wind up on the front of their shirt, gruesome bear attacks, whatever.

It is extremely explicit death porn. It is TOXIC.

It's also depicts without any sort of veil the sorts of things that actually happen in reality.

I'm not quite prepared to get that real, and I wanted you (whomever is reading this) to also make an informed decision about that.

I should have done so in OP.

2. I can only begin to speculate about what kind of "frank discussions" Bush..

...must have with his inner circle (jerk).

4. If only GHWB

would do now what he had the balls to do back then.

Or, maybe he too fears his prodigy like the rest of the government.

In a way, I can't blame him.
