50 years ago, the Nixon White House plotted to assassinate a journalist

Story continues below advertisement

According to Hunt, Colson proposed assassinating Anderson by using an untraceable poison, perhaps a high dose of a hallucinogen like LSD. Colson instructed Hunt to “explore the matter with the CIA,” where Hunt had previously worked as a spy. Although he never explicitly stated that Nixon gave the order,Hunt brought in his White House sidekick, G. Gordon Liddy, who was “forever volunteering to rub people out,” as Hunt put it.

“Of course, there’s always the old simple method of simply dropping a pill in a guy’s cocktail,” Gunn suggested. But Hunt pointed out that as a Mormon, Anderson was a teetotaler.“Aspirin roulette” was another option, Liddy said: slipping a

For the past two years, we now know, the Biden FBI has been using secret warrants to spy on a whole news outlet. Show us where you gave a damn about that.

He makes Trump look decent.

'The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer.' - Henry Kissinger (1923 - ), New York Times, Oct. 28, 1973

WOW never knew this

Another media member on the Nixon Enemies List was Daniel Schorr of NPR. Here’s an envelope from a letter I received from Mr. Schorr in 1995. Nixon NPR NPR enemieslist

LMAO ! The Washington Post is not News Organization, it's the Propaganda arm of the Democratic Party and has absolutely no journalistic integrity whatsoever!

couragefound Each country has its own bad people

And Trump makes him look like one of the good guys.

The parallels between Nixon and Trump are stunning. The through line is Roger Stone, supported by a criminal Republican Party.

His campaign was also linked to the Wallace assassination attempt which took him out of a run, and gave Nixon a landslide.

maggieNYT What happened to Ngo Dinh Diem a few years earlier?

maggieNYT A great ad to purchase the post in order to read the article. A summary would be nice.

maggieNYT Yeah … but …

Tricky dicky 🤨

“Liddy offered to stab Anderson to death & make it look like a …robbery by stealing Anderson’s watch and wallet…Liddy later told Playboy, “in the real world, you sometimes have to employ extreme & extralegal methods to preserve the very system whose laws you’re violating.”

For some reason, I was allowed to read the article. I guess I had forgotten that.

Apart from hating the news media (remimds of POTUS45 ), Nixon's profound hate of Indira Gandhi during the 1971 war is well known. Read about the choicest expletives exchanged between dick_nixon and then Sec of State Kissinger

79% Americans wants to see most Republican Senators replaced with Republican Senators that honor their oath of office and what it stands for and not a crook that thinks he’s a king! The DOJ should make him king of Gitmo for life!

“The CIA illegally wiretapped and surveilled Anderson, but his nine children chased the spies away and Anderson mocked their incompetence in his column. The president even ordered his staff to smear Anderson as gay, but the allegation was as false as it was ridiculous...”

And a few years ago, one got sawed into pieces in an embassy in Istanbul.

Whaaat!

I remember this

I guess nothing had changed then!

Politics and Assassinations has an old relations to each other from the first day of city states.

Khashoggi

That’s nothing. Just wait until the nytimes and other media’s “both sides” bullshit gets another christofascist in the WH and Congress. There will be plenty of you all in Gitmo (or worse).

dick did jack with the help of the jm wave crew ,

😳😱😰😥😓

Thankfully Nixon's dick was not so tricky.

Republicans are antidemocratic maniacs

Stop talking about stupid things. This is not a war in Ukraine. The West must understand that the WW III is already underway and accept it`s a fact.

And John Lennon!

That’s nothing compared to what trump plotted to do….

Yes, Twitter, I want to read the article first. You paying?

Today, watching President Biden speaking to US troops in Poland, he once again demonstrated his cognitive weakness. According to my aunt Fernanda, my grandfather had several mistresses. But I think he had more respect for my grandmother than Americans have for the 25th amendment.
