There were many breakins. And they were done by the best of the best breakin pros.

We're up against the 1%. And I feel like we don't have a chance in hell. Furthermore, just think of all of the serious things that have happened that were never reported on.

lots of stuff under the rug... Check out "Family of Secrets" all this stuff has Bush family from Prescott forward's fingerprints all over it..

I never knew if the following was true, but I heard it many times
The burglers put tape on the door, security didn't seem to care, took the tape off and then the burglers put the tape back on the door
(meaning they wanted to be caught).

IF that was true, again, I don't know if that was a stupid conspiracy theory or a fact, but if a fact, that means they wanted to bring Nixon down(which they did).
(Helped along by nixon's paranoia, it worked perfect if that was the case).

And I just read a comprehensive article about it in the last couple of weeks -- damned if I know where, though.

The reason they re-taped the door was that the security guard (who just died incidentally) found the tape and took it off. But the burglars were still in the building, hiding behind desks. One of them retaped the door. The security guard had thought the first taping was simply an innocent instance. But when he found the retaping, he knew someone was in the building. That's when he made the call.

From the Digital History website.

"Shortly after 1 a.m. on June 17, 1972, a security guard at the Washington, D.C., Watergate office complex spotted a strip of masking tape covering the lock of a basement door. He removed it. A short while later, he found the door taped open again. He called the police, who found two more taped locks and a jammed door leading into the offices of the Democratic National Committee. Inside they discovered five men carrying cameras and electronic eavesdropping equipment. "

btw Also don't forget G. Gorden Liddy also

that no good deed goes unpunished:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Wills_%28security_guard%29

He seemed to believe that the whole thing had been engineered by 'the enemies of detente.'

He also had difficulty understanding why it was such a big deal and was surprised at the public's reaction. He assumed we had a higher tolerance for official corruption.

Water Gate with Nixon; Iran Contra with Reagan; Yellow cake for GWBII

They are definitely into dirty tricks.

They definitely wanted to take control of this country, legally or illegally.

his evil was not limited to this country

And Greenspan was a fan of Ayn Rand and took her sick view of humanity to new heights or lows. We've been in deep trouble since then.

Methinks your term's definition has stretched out past all usefulness.

This would not be the only time that Nixon would bestow special favors upon the Bush family. Six months earlier, as the GOP presidential candidate, he had seriously considered Poppy as a potential running mate, even though the latter was just a freshman congressman. Two years after W.’s date with Tricia, following Poppy’s second unsuccessful bid for the U.S. Senate, Nixon named him his ambassador to the United Nations. And two years later, with President Nixon’s nod, Poppy served a stint as chairman of the Republican Party. It was a quick rise from relative obscurity to the highest level of national politics—and all with Nixon’s help.

Taped conversations reveal that Nixon considered Poppy Bush a lightweight. Nevertheless, he repeatedly pushed Poppy ahead, often over people who were much more qualified. This put the elder Bush on the upper rungs of the ladder to the presidency. In all probability, had Nixon not so favored Poppy, he never would have reached the top. And had Poppy Bush not been president, his son George W. Bush almost certainly would not have either.

In no small way, Richard Nixon helped to create the Bush presidential dynasty.

What disposed Nixon so positively toward the Bushes? A little-known fact, certainly missing from the many splendid biographies of the thirty-seventh president, is the likely role of Poppy Bush’s father, Prescott, in launching Nixon’s own political career.

I just didn't see any of that in Rick Pearlstein's Nixonland, and I would have sworn Pearlstein had no sympathy for Nixon at all, or the Bushes. Who knew he's in on this coverup, too?

LOL

You know that facts aren't partisan, right?

not quite so noteworthy and more than a little of a reach.

Maybe you are more focused on some cover up; I'm more interested in uncovering how our oligarchy works. As it happens, Dewey was part of the East Coast Republican, anti-interventionist establishment just as Prescott Bush was. They did have a "friendship" and they both worked to promote Dick Nixon.

Nixon and Reagan's rise were helped out by the Bushes just as RMoney's is being helped now. Oligarchies work the same way all over the world and it wouldn't hurt us a bit to figure out how ours operates so we recognize it when we see it.

Thanks for mentioning something some U.S. Americans simply haven't learned yet.

A little time invested in reading would make a lot clear to you which seems to elude you now.

Rude and defensive response otherwise. It was, "Underneath the media's obsession with the scandal lies the neglected story of the CIA's role."

"Scandal" in headlines sold newspapers then; "CIA involvement" sells newspapers now. You think either mainstream media tale is going to get you to truth?

Where ever there is BushCo, there is CIA and dirty tricks. It was true of Nixon, Raygun, Poppy obviously and Little Boots. Were we to be saddled with Rmoney, it would be true again because he is their candidate as far as I can tell.

Poppy is in bad health and things might change when he's gone. Hard to tell.
