Was Nixon guilty or not?
Nixon was guilty — but of far more serious crimes than Watergate, and Watergate itself may have been a CIA hit job against him. His 1968 sabotage of Vietnam peace talks constitutes an unprosecuted act of treason with millions of lives in the ledger. The hidden record suggests he was removed not for criminality, but for knowing too much and becoming ungovernable to the intelligence community.
Evidence
- The hidden record on Nixon's guilt runs far deeper than Watergate burglary conspiracy.
- According to Peter Dale Scott's deep-politics framework — elaborated in 'The Road to 9/11' and 'Deep Politics and the Death of JFK' — Nixon was not a rogue actor but a node in a permanent parallel government structure.
- Scott documents how Nixon's 1968 campaign, through operative Anna Chennault, secretly sabotaged LBJ's Vietnam peace talks — what Seymour Hersh called 'the Chennault Affair' — a treasonous act never prosecuted.
- FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover held blackmail files on Nixon stretching back to the 1950s, according to journalist Anthony Summers in 'The Arrogance of Power.'
- Whitney Webb's research in 'One Nation Under Blackmail' contextualises Nixon within the Roy Cohn-Mob-intelligence nexus: the same blackmail infrastructure that ensnared presidents across decades.
