[…] election victory. Crudely summarised, Scott shows the rise of the Pentagon and its industrial allies and political front men (almost entirely men). Recovering from the set-backs of Watergate, failure in Vietnam and associated revelations and Congressional enquiries, they revived the Cold War with Soviet Union – Team B and the Committee on the Present […]
[…] recently came across these remarks from 1975 by Charlene Mitchell, speaking to a group called National Alliance Against Racist and Political Oppression: ‘It is suggested that since Watergate we need no longer have fear. Congress is on the alert and will protect us…The fact of the matter of course is that the dossiers continue […]
[…] offers none – he has confused John Major with his father, who did work in a circus for a time. On page 58 we are told that Watergate was an anti-Nixon operation run by ‘the combined forces of Bilderberg/RIIA/Tavistock Institute under the direction of the British MI6.’ Didn’t you just know that Tavistock would […]

In early May 1973, after the Watergate resignations of Haldeman, Ehrlichman and Dean, Colby was told that Nixon wanted him to be the next DCI. And it was at just this time that […]
[…] value of chronology in spades. I haven’t seen Sproesser’s other volumes (1963, including minute-by-minute logs of 22, 23 and 24 November, the Warren Commission, MLK and RFK, Watergate, etc), but if they are anything like this they are must-haves.
