what was the CIA maelstrom around Nixon that had to do with his resignation again? i remember they made some powerful enemies in the CIA, and Nixon, iirc, tried to install Bush as his own guy in there, but eventually they leaked some stuff to Congress and got rid of him (Nixon)

that sound about right?

agreed. like when nerds hate other nerds because they remind them of themselves, so too does America hate nixon because he was probably the most American man (outside of andrew jackson, ezra pound, and bill faulkner) to ever exist.

he consistently ignored their advice, tossed out Richard Helms for refusing the block the Watergate investigation and replaced him with some crony. Bush didn't come in until long after he resigned. the "CIA took down Nixon" story doesn't really make sense and comes off like a conspiracy theory, especially when you consider how much of the nasty shit they were doing during those years, (Chilean coup, funding Kurdish rebels, Iranian policy), was being done at Nixon and Kissenger's insistence over CIA and DoD objections.

politicians have turned into glossy charming blow-up dolls, grinningly happily as theyre puppetted by the hand of capital up their arses. barack obama. bill clinton. david cameron. tony blair. nixon was venal, prejudiced, schizoid, he had a weird ugly nose and a strange voice, he was shameless and self-pitying. richard nixon was a real fucking man, a true american hero.

oh right, Bush was just Nixon's faithful, going from House to UN Ambassadorship for him (even dropping out of the House to run for Senate at Nixon's pleasure) to envoy to China, but he didnt become CIA head until Nixon's successor Ford appointed him

We were playing a festival in Dublin the other week. There was this other group, like, warming up in the next sort of chalet, and they were terrible. I said, 'Shut them cunts up!' And they were still warming up, so I threw a bottle at them. The bands said, 'That's the Sons of Mumford' or something. 'They're number five in charts!' I just thought they were a load of retarded Irish folk singers

The line about "rescuing Jews stuck behind the Iron Curtain from Soviet oppression" is simpleton talk. In truth, Jews were among the most highly educated sector of the Soviet population and the whole issue about saving them was one of the biggest scams of the 20th century.

The smartest Russians, however, may have been those who stayed behind and through a backroom deal with Yelsin came into possession of all of Russia’s natural resources, making these "oligarchs" the greatest collection of thieves, perhaps, in all of history. That they were even more exclusively Jewish than were our neocons was only, of course, a coincidence, such as, for example, the Pope being Catholic.

If you want read some fascinating Kissenger talk about the ME from the 70s...read this in full...
