I always thought that Watergate was a big nothing burger compared to what we are seeing today.
or compared to LBJ.
It was a coup, nothing less!
The whole affair was essentially a coup on the part of what we now know as the deep state. Had they not found an excuse, I'm sure they would have manufactured one.
@@MrThumbs63LBJ never committed treason like Nixon re: Chennault affair
It was just a convenient tool by which the Dems and the press were going to oust Nixon. Nixon truly did not know what his underlings were doing when they did it. Yet he paid the price.
The opening of the KGB files was a revelation.

Hiss was a member of the Ivy League Rich White Liberal coterie who believe that they are above everybody else and look smugly down on all others who in their estimation fail to meet the "criteria" of being one of the elect. That Hiss was a proven Communist exposed the attitude of moral indifference and the desire for power and grandiose self worship that is inherent in these pseudo elites. They are running our country today and playing God in destroying it .
There's things that the Soviet's archives revealed to us that 'our own' government STILL won't admit to doing!
Yep
Yeah it proved what many had said back in the 30s-50s. Including Senator McCarthy.
I must say, that President Nixon was a extremely smart guy!
Paul Porter, being an attorney, knew the old adage, "When you have the facts on your side, argue on the facts. When you have the law on your side, argue on the law. When you have neither, pound the table."
Always held RMN in the highest regard, esp. as an anticommunist.
Except the fact he changed the USA’s diplomatic relationship from Taiwan to the Chinese Communist Party AND officially opened trade relations with the CCP.
That was the biggest mistake he made, even worse than the tapes and Watergate.
@@phillipmargrave
Given the time we're talking about, and Who The enemy was (USSR) was it a mistake? Put yourself at that time.
Eisenhower tapped Nixon for veep not only because Nixon was a smart and shrewd politician (and a Republican Party loyalist), but because elevating Nixon appealed to committed anti-Communists of both parties. Nixon's support for Whittaker Chambers in exposing Hiss's perjury earned, for Nixon, Democrats' (i.e., the party which Communists had infiltrated) permanent loathing. Directing the Vietnam War effort to bomb Cambodia, crushing McGovern in 1972, and ordering the Watergate cover-up turned out to be merely pretexts for a new generation of Democrats to hate Nixon passionately--which they do, to this day.
@@phillipmargrave
It was pure REALPOLITIK. The PRC and USSR almost went to war off N. Korea in 1968. It was kept out of the news. Bruce Gordon, USAF ret. was there and talks about it on his channel. He was sworn to secrecy. So, Nixon wanted to improve relations with the PRC as they had become actual enemies to the USSR.
@@phillipmargrave I am fine with cooling relations with them. I am a rabid anti-communist but splitting the main two in the communist bloc is just good tactics. What was wrong was recognition and buttressing them so much without any concessions. It does vindicate capitalism however.
I actually miss Richard Nixon given the current state of American politics...
Donald Trump is here to save the day and fight the establishment.
@@JingJao D Trump is here to make China stronger.
In 2016 World Banks predicted that China economy would surpass US in 2045
In 2020 World Banks predicted that China economy would overtake US in 2028.
Can you do the math?
They did what they did to Nixon and others before and since like McArthur and Reagan *because* they were intentionally making things to end up as they have.
Ignorance is bliss. There's a reason why he never made it to a 2nd term.
@@JingJao nobody can defeat the establishment.
Many many people, especially the educated elites, became Communists or Communist sympathizers during the 1930's due to the intractability of the Great Depression. They not only thought it was stylish to be a Communist, but they consistently thought the only other alternative was fascism. When the truth about Stalin and Lenin and Mao started coming out, all of a sudden members of that generation started denying any knowledge of ever having been a Communist. This was a great hidden shame of the 1950's, when those people and their globalist mentality started to be exposed, and yet many if not most were still in power.
This struggle continues to this day; that is, the struggle between the elites who think they know better than the masses, and the masses themselves who almost always follow common sense. That was the real reason Nixon was despised by the left in America; he was not an elitist lamb following the flock over the cliff.
The great hidden shame is that socialism, communism, and nazism, fascism are all cousin ideologies. Anti-racism is a much more modern phenomenon than leftism. Roosevelt himself took ideas from both worlds, he was making militaristic speeches before Pearl Harbor had even happened.
Friend, you presented an excellent synopsis. Well done.
and now those elites tell our college student children that Israel is a demon and that if America isn't on the side of Hamas or the Palestinians they should wish "death to America"
Even today the 'educated elites" often become Marxist because it's hip and cool.
Well put, you are right on the money, the media and elites hated Nixon for taking down Hiss!
It’s truly unfortunate how much this man was vilified. What if we held our current leaders to the standards that were imposed on Nixon? He was a stellar example of a politician and we should remember the, and not just the bad. In the end, God will sort everything out! 🙏🏼
God is a bullsh*t superstition who is utterly irrelevant to reality.
There was a deeply entrenched American communist movement at the time of Alger Hiss. Then in the late 1960s and throughout the 1970s, the movement consisted of elements of SDS and the Weather Underground. Now, the movement works under elements of ANTIFA and BLM. This is why Nixon was hated by the media because he uncovered the movement. Can't understand why many millennials today have no problem with Marxism after the failures shown by this ideology.
It's the Democrat Party today
@@kensilverstone1656 Agree 💯 percent!
People don’t love Marxism, they hate Capitalism, because of the Failures of Capitalism. Marx wasn’t a visionary leader, but he was a great critic of Capitalism. It’s very similar to the draw of Atheism.
@thegoodpimps capitalism doesn't fail, crony capitalism fails. The idea of someone having less or suffering a loss doesn't indicate a failure of capitalism.
@@thegoodpimps Disagree 💯 percent!
Communists...Nazis...Both produce the same effects.
Many people don't see this.
Marxism, facsism, and NatSocism are all denominations of the secular cult of the Hegelian Dialectic. The effects are the same because the ideas behind them are the same. It’s a gnostic cult that wants to socially re-engineer mankind into their own perverted image and recreate the Garden of Eden.
Says someone who believes in the bolshevik version of what national socialism is, lol.
Both are left
Yes! Canada has them in their government. I'm sure we do too.
All the way from England, although not old enough to directly remember the Hiss case, I read about in the 70's, what struck me about the reaction of the State Department personnel was how similar it was to that of our own civil service people whenever upper class traitors were discovered.In both cases it was definitely a class issue, with the establishment on both sides of the Atlantic closing ranks against what they saw as their social inferiors.
Very True, the BOLSHEVIK, POLICE STATE of the so called Superiors savors the benefits of Their Club......
Interesting point. GOP is in civil war right now. I think class is big part of it.
Ironic.
It's funny how people with absolutely no marketable skills think they are smarter than the people that build their homes and grow their food.
You should read Chambers' autobiography if you haven't yet.
It angered them because it reflected badly on their supposed superiority. The liberal establishment has ALWAYS felt they know more than the rank and file Americans.
True that!!!
Very few presidents have been smart enough to write multiple books without needing a ghost writer [Jefferson, T. Roosevelt, Wilson, Hoover come to mind]. Nixon belongs in that group.
Wilson had actually said that he regretted the Federal Reserve Act in his book.
@@michaelhutchings8599 wasn’t it only because he wanted more government control on it?
The is good to start hearing the truth. We have had all the lying we can stomach.
What angered the establishment was that Hiss was one of them, and Nixon was not.
Yes Hiss in the US. Kim Philby in Great Britain.
What? President Nixon was the embodiment of the establishment - well-to-do corporate lawyer who was surrounded by and funded by corporate lawyers and high level corp execs - you cannot get more establishment than that.
Either that or Nixon committing treason and dozens of war crimes 🧐
DING.
Nixon is a very clear and open minded speaker.!
A crimnal but a lovely speaker and what a great face.
God bless President Nixon!
One of the best we ‘ever had
Although a conservative, I used to think that Nixon was a crook. Then I read a book on the Bay of Pigs and found out that two of the CIA stooges that orchestrated the whole disaster were also key players in Watergate. So I know it was a set-up to bring Nixon down. Nevertheless, when he died, during the funeral procession to his grave, we had the freakiest whether here in California. Personally experienced a dust devil in El Segundo, but also there was hail, and snow at the very time his body was travelling the freeway. I figured the devil was having one last hurrah.
@@MrRudyc Damn right.
"Nothing to see here, and if there is, just pretend it's not happening, and it's not important anyway..."
Or the sequel, "here's why its not happening, and why its a good thing"
Hiss was an elite. Old family, old colleges, govvie work pedigree under Cordell Hill. They all "circled the wagons" to defend one of their own.
A communist member using the guise of '30s liberalism. Or as Lenin called them "useful idiots" to help destabilize the west.
The classic playbook they can’t put down.
@@robertortiz-wilson1588 Rules for Radicals!!!
@@philhand5830 EXCELLENT example!
Nixon followed in the footsteps of sen. Joseph McCarthy. He was just a congressman then in the early 1950s but he was a good man. First president I ever voted for when I was old enough to vote.
Well, I believe in 1950 he was elected to the US Senate. In getting elected he defeated Helen Douglass who was a popular liberal and "fellow traveler.". Nixon was definitely "pre-McCarthy" when it came to fighting the Reds.
Nixon got into Congress by defeating another liberal names Jerry Vorhess (sp?). This was before he got directly involved in investigations.
I had a very left wing high school English each in 1960. She never mentioned Hiss but did go on and on about the two "Good Democrats" Nixon defeated.
a man that could talk with out note cards.
It upset Eleanor Roosevelt, who made it onto a stamp in Poland in the 1950's.
Add that up, along with the Lend Lease Act.
Read Diana West’s “American Betrayal” if you really want to get your blood boiling. Commies were everywhere in FDRs administration. It is absolutely incredible that FDR is believed to have saved us from the Great Depression. It is also incredible how he sold Eastern Europe down the river at Yalta with an assist from sh*tbag Commie buttboy Alger Hiss. Nixon nailed Hiss to the wall, and the American Left never forgave him for that.
FDR affectionately referred to Stalin as "Uncle Joe."
@@DarkMatterX1 He is the guy who recognised the soviet union in 1933.
Yep. No surprise with her.
History will prove that Nixon was an OK guy. He did the best he could at the time.
Khadafi as well
WITNESS by Whittaker Chambers, is a must read.
I read it . He chose the title Witness because it an old name for a martyr
It is a concern of mine that none of the cells they set up back then, whose job it was to infiltrate as many of the institutions of the country and subvert them to the Communist cause, were never broken up nor were any of the members prosecuted with the exception of Hiss. What we are seeing today is, IMO, simply the end results of their successful co-opting of all cultural, political, and media institutions.
@@arturovaldes546 Truly, today we translate "μαρτυρος" as witness. Chambers' life was tragic in many ways. Indeed, He found faith in God, though, and after the Hitler-Stalin pact, rejected communism. Such a book! I am glad we both have read it.
I read it, in this age it would be Hard to get someone to take the time to read it and understand the implications of it's contents. They would have to actually Know what is going on. Very few do.
Nixon now more than ever!
History has certainly been kind to RMN
Especially compared to those that followed
In one of his post-presidency interviews, President Nixon was asked, "Do you think history will be kind to you and your presidency?" or at least words to that effect. Nixon's wise and prophetic response was, "That depends on who writes it." History written by true historians illustrates that he was indeed one of our best presidents in the 20th century but history written by the lying establishment media, academia, and leftist democrat politicians has lied and twisted his career. He wasn't perfect. No one is. But he was far better than most of the corrupt, stupid, and sold out politicians we have today, on both sides of the aisle.
@@arepadetrigoThere is no such thing as "true" historians. "Historians" are by their very nature inherently biased. If they were then the current understanding of the US Civil War should not have leaned towards the South's version...
Far from it, Nixon has been vilified to a level of infamy no other American could come close to. I was raised in Canada to believe he was a deeply corrupt man, the worst president in US history and I would never learn until many years later as to why he was. Being Gen X I now see that Nixon’s biggest crime was mentioning the truth of the assassination of Kennedy to the head of the CIA and the deep state quickly moved to end his presidency by whatever means necessary. Will the world ever really know why JFK was killed? Doubtful
The eye-opener is the association with Roosevelt, and the nuances of his policies therewith. I can’t help but wonder how deeply Roosevelt’s policies associated with Wilson’s, and how much of the world wars’ characteristics could be pinned back to each other?
The man we really badly need now for President of the United States.
Wage and price controls to combat inflation? While I do respect Nixon’s intelligence and tenacity and patriotism, his domestic economic policy was horrendous.
@@va3svd
Agreed. This is also the same guy who illegally made a deal with the South Vietnamese to prolong the war so he could be the President who won it.
George Washing couldn’t get elected today!
@@va3svd Remember those days very well. Very complex political subject, but Nixon's plan had many democrats not just in Congress, but in the state houses who supported the wage and price controls.
And like medieval popes, many indulgences were granted to the extent that the controls got out of control. Lots of sinning was permitted. You can have fun looking all of that up. To me it is a boring subject at this late date.
@@mikebrown9850 Neither could George Washington.
We have a continuation of the same issue today, the only problem is we don't have enough people at the moment, like Richard Nixon, to confront and defeat it.
President #Nixon had the Wisdom that America 🇺🇸 Needs Now & that we can learn from. God bless
Unfortunately, educated intellectuals absolutely REFUSE to learn, because Marxism is a religion, not unlike Christianity, but much less restrained by law.
Amen✝️🛐💗
I appreciate these bits of Nixonian thought. I am 71 years old, SF Bay Area raised, and was caught up in Nixon hate mania. I support Hillsdale College annually. I hope my grandchildren (4) attend Hillsdale. JMJ
I thought that I hated Nixon back in the day too. It is only in retrospect that I have come to appreciate just what a foreign policy genius he was. We have not seen his like since his resignation.
My old man used to say that Watergate was nothing, but the establishment hated Nixon because he took down their golden boy (my dad's words) Alger Hiss and so they took down Nixon, using Watergate as the way to get it done. Perhaps he exaggerated but the point was clear: they never forgave Nixon for that, which seemed odd to me at the time. Now hearing this I still think it's odd but at least my old man wasn't a nutter.
❤ President Richard Nixon ❤Was a tremendous visionary! Thanks to history the truth is told.
oh look... they did actually convict people of perjury back then... why have they stopped?
By today's standards, here we see a diplomat and an intellectual.
I learned about Alger Hiss and Whittaker Chambers from Don Imus...best part is when Charles McCord snapped on air about the subject. Funny...but learned a lot.
Does this have to do with a real Disclosure? I have to imagine this is a case that keeps intelligence officers from becoming whistleblowers
This guy actually was SO MUCH BETTER ( in a few policy procedures) while sitting in DC THAN Clinton & company.
The worst thing he done was carried 48 states in 1972
McGovern only carried two states more than I did and I was only 3!
It is what drove the FBI Deputy director (later known as Deep Throat) to tag his CIA buddies on the watergate Plumbers, and pass the c-rap onto the WaPo team of Woody & Bernie, gave them the story that was partially untrue, but written for them. It was not the first time the FBI's hubris led it to conflict with a Republican president. During Eisenhower's terms, it is claimed the FBI stopped 'ignoring the Mafia'... but from that point until today they have collaborated. Nixon was apparently a threat to them, since he had made vague threats to expose who really assassinated JFK... Look into the details of the 'Whitey Bulger' scenario and Robert Mueller for a side trip on the FBI.
@@Boppinabe LOL
And guess what when the Soviet Union disintegrated and the KGB files regarding Hiss became available it turns out he was on their payroll since the early 40s
I remember my father saying the left never forgot or forgive Nixon for exposing Hess
None Dare Call It Treason, John Stormer.
He may have been a very unsympathetic character, but he in terms of judging peoples characters and foreseeing international politics and their long term repercussions, wasn't stupid. IMPO, Watergate was his sole mistake and as we know, his downfall.
I'd say his price controls and opening up China to American business investment was a mistake, too.
Well expanding the war to Cambodia without informing Congress wasn't exactly a great decision either.
@@donpietruk1517
And Laos. The Ho Chi Minh Trail ran through there, too.
@@donpietruk1517 He did not need to inform Congress, although he actually did inform some Senators.
@@johnnotrealname8168He has to. Congress holds the military's money. Besides, the US technically is not in a state of war so they will be asking where has all the military's money gone to if they notice the discrepancies in the books. Also, American casualties, can you remain their deaths secret from the US Congress?
One word: Venona
Nixon was a smart guy.
As someone who voted for Obama, I’m starting to think Richard Nixon might be the best president of the modern era.
Within 0:35 I am questioning what really happened at Waco for some reason.

@@bryanmack4054Sure.
I was thinking about HRC being a SDA immediately prior to watching. I'd forgotten what faith President Nixon practiced and was trying to recollect it when I saw David Oresh'sK face wreathed in holy fire.
Brilliant thinker.
And Mitrokin the archivist of the KGB confirmed when he detected that Hiss WAS and even had his cover name and handler
We are doing the same now with China.
These are great videos! This is a prefect time to post these videos. I hope you post a link to the new book about watergate.- The book showing how the gov and media railroaded him.

Nixon should've never resigned.He did nothing wrong in my opinion. All Watergate was, was a matter of doing research on the opposition.
Also known as dirty tricks.
Rosenbergs, need I say more…..
It's just a crying shame that he decoupled the dollar from the gold standard: set the stage for spiralling inflation. 😑
He really had no choice, The fed adopted an inflationary montary policy to help pay for Johnson's great society (this in about 65) by 71 When Europes central banks came knocking we didn't have the gold to pay our debts.
Read The Palace File by Dr. Nguyen Tien Hung
Is there a full recording of this interview video?
This man wasn't that bad of a president. Even though interest rates were high and there was an energy crisis during his time in office. Nixon did accomplish some good things. Such as affirmative action, the establishment of the E.P.A, and he also got our troops out of Vietnam in 1973.
Interesting, wonder what he's take would be on the cluster-fugs of today and how to deal with it.
Nixon tan rested n ready 2024
❤❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
His name was Rosenfelt
Witness by Whittaker Chambers is a very long, in-depth book on this matter. I highly recommend it.
his body language is saying he's lying quite a bit
Is this the Frost/Nixon interviews?
So I guess you could call Alger Hiss.............................a Snake.
/rimshot
"I'll be here all week, folks"
His support of Roosevelt's policies whatsoever is sort of a paradox, given that he inherited the result of Roosevelt interfering in pre-War Imperial Japanese policies in continental Asia, through oil embargo, resulting in Nixon continuing a proxy war in Vietnam, indirectly fighting China
😊😊😊😊😊
Way back in the day knowing nothing but what TV sold, I hated Nixon.
Since then, I have begun to suspect what a fool I had been. Lots of stuff about him and scandals connected to him are coming out recently. Might be time to stop kicking him around and listen to the things he had to say.
"Only Nixon can go to China.' -Ancient saying, Planet Vulcan
He made a political career out of this and intimidated LBJ into the Vietnam.

To anyone who finds this interesting and would like to listen to more on the subject, check out America’s Untold Stories.
First election I voted in, voted for Pres. Nixon in his reelection. He was a brilliant politician, at least on foreign policy, but screwed up monstrously with his domestic economic policies, especially decoupling the dollar from gold. That was the beginning of a devaluation of the dollar that has accelerated until todays near hyperinflation.
It's not like he had a choice. US Treasury was losing gold rapidly, in a short time there would have been none left. It was a balance of payments problem basically.
@@mrdanforth3744 Never heard it put that way, thanks. Still the beginning of the end.

🤔
He gave us bank security act aka bank secret act 10 000 $ limit... Rat us out irs
Why didn't Hasbro sue him for unlicensed use of the HISS tank name?
Comparing Nixon to Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Joe Biden is like a walk in the park vs getting mugged in the park.
I appreciate getting as many eyes on content like this, but the all-caps portion of the title is too unsubtle for me.
"but here was the attitude of this whole generation of people [Democrats/Liberals] who had a vested interest in opposing anybody who exposed the communist." seems relevant today.
Is this nixon
What the "establishment " and the Americans particularly were afraid of in communism was a challenge to their style of government. The Americans were by then, at heart fascist. They had a lot in common with fascist Germany in the 30s. The US pardoned a lot of Nazies after the war to exploit what they knew. And the American establishment could not stomach the possibility of communism spreading and threatening to take away from the 1%'s wealth and give it to the poor. Or redistribute it as others would say.
When I think of Jesus I think of a man who struggled as you have
Hiss:
Here's how it is, mommy,
He's a twisted commie
The cult of personality, our own Demi god, FDR! I ran afoul of my father over the same types of issues, that there was ample evidence of FDR having knowledge of Pearl Harbor before the attack, we finally agreed to disagree but the hold that FDR had over that generation was like a religious cult.
