his fatal flaw was thinking Kissinger was on his side.
@@prasanththomas3130I have read that Kissenger is also responsible for starting the WEF with Klaus Schwab. Not sure if that's true but it wouldn't surprise me.
Absolutely true!
German Heinz Alfred Kissinger never was on American side.
a J is never on anybody's side.
@@danhk9032 I suppose that would include Jesus Christ?
Watergate never bothered me. What bothered me about Nixon was taking us off the gold standard and opening up to China while they were still communist.
He had little option but the issue was not trying to get back on it, it was actually a very popular decision although people probably did not get it. The opening to China theoretically is fine, dividing the communist world and thereby weakening it was perfectly good however going so far as to engage with it (United Nations seat.) and even trading so much with it (Although after his death so yeah.) was bad. He also viewed only the Soviets as enemies and not China because of communism. That is iffy to me.
"opening up to China while they were still communist."
Remember who the main enemy was. The USSR.
me either, and man oh man do i hate neil young...
(ps- he was forced re the gold standard, not so sure about the china thing?)
@@johnwatts8346
He was a good song writer, but man his politics...Suck. Some of us Grew Up. he didn't. He's still stuck in 1972.
@@stevenwiederholt7000 yep, great musician, but an insufferable hippy,
Thank you for giving Nixon his props; he was a far better leader than most people realize (after decades of non-stop propaganda, how could they know any better). The institutionalized left in this country hated him ever since he outed Alger Hiss (which was shown to be true after the USSR fell, but you'll never hear it mentioned out loud here), and the particulars of the Watergate break in were widely known during the '72 election...voters didn't care then, they just didn't want a milktoast liberal in the Oval Office. It was only the MSM of the day making it front page news day after day that finally allowed the story to gain critical mass, and what did the country gain by forcing his resignation? Nearly a decade of economic and cultural miasma and some material for SNL.
He was the country's worst presodent determined by historians and public polling. I'm guessing the next video will be about how Lincoln was one of the worst presidents.
@SuperKripke The issue is that those historians often are the liberals that hated him anyway and manufactured such a crisis as watergate. If one looks at his achievements on desegregation alone he is awesome.
@@johnnotrealname8168 Much of the work on desegregation had been done by Eisenhower, LBJ and obviously the Brown decision itself. Nixon did take the next logical step and push for desegregation in the Soutuerm states that voted for him.
Dismissing historians as liberal without taking into account why they believe he was a below average president reveals that you already made up your mind before considering the arguments.
@@SuperKripkethe left has already made Lincoln out to be bad. They even took his statue down in Boston that was made and paid for by former slaves. They are trying to do the same in Illinois
@@SuperKripke As the video and Nixon says, "The press is the enemy. The establishment is the enemy. The professors are the enemy. Write that on a blackboard 100 times and never forget it."
No wonder institutions hate a guy actively rooting out their corruptions. Too bad he couldn't continue because sheep like you followed "the big thing" against people like him.
I lived through the Nixon era and remember it well. The way you drew a clear path to a better America for everyone seemed effortless. I've been stewing about this for three years straight, every single day and now I know what my personal political mission is going to be moving forward. I awakened in the final days of the 1980s to an epiphany, where I saw that it was imperative to break entirely with the Democrats and re-register as a Republican. I don't agree with some Republican causes, but I do with the majority. The important things. This is an existential turning point.
That's fine, but I have a question. Your epiphany caused you to register as a Rupublican? That's it? Forgive me, but that doesn't sound like much of an epiphany. For one thing, you probably won't be shocked to be told that you are a single person. Under the august principle of one person, one vote, that means, uncontroversially, that you're entitled to a single vote. A little vote, as Hamlet says. And when has one vote ever decided an election? I believe the answer is never. This sad state of affairs suggests that the ever so momentous illumination that led you to offer your vote to one party rather than another has never and will never have the least impact on the course of events. This in turn points to the likelihood that your epiphany was, well, a bit of a damp squib. My suggestion is that you keep trying. There are more important things to think about before one dies than paltry and (let's be honest) performative ideological allegiances.
I get your point, and it's a good one. I've been telling conservatives this for decades. "If your sole contribution to our movement is 20 MINUTES OF ACTIVITY EVERY FOUR YEARS (voting in presidential elections) we are doomed."
What you left out is the prescription of what to do instead. Rufo is the example. Each of us need to:
1) Learn how to PROPERLY ARTICULATE the conservative position in an intelligent, strategic and non confrontational manner.
2) Do this on an individual and interpersonal basis at every opportunity - especially with young people - knowing that the way the Left will win is by demographically overwhelming us with new generations of young people brainwashed into Neo-Marxist ideology by our captured educational institutions.
3) Fight to re-capture those educational institutions at all levels, understanding that they (not the voting booths!) are the forwardmost battlefront of the revolution.
Amen
@@ceterumcenseo12really I'm glad MLK Jr didn't think like you and every other good man throughout history who was the one man who stood up and made a difference. Giants Fall.
It is a bias, and dishonest news media that is the enemy. Along with a Godless, communist academia, that indoctrinated them into thinking that, we the people, are the problem.
Mr. Rufo we can’t thank you enough for your leadership and exposing the truths and providing a path forward! THANK YOU from all of us!!!!
I second that. Between him and Dr James Lindsay, people are beginning to wake up from their 50 year slumber!
@@crocodilegrundee4514 yes I hope both their voices are being heard more. I also hope others like Thomas Sowell and Peter Boghossian are being listened to more too. People need to wake up and speak up!
I need you as a chief advisor for the next POTUS. There will be hope with people like you.
Great video. Anyone who wants to understand Nixon more: I recommend looking up what Patrick Buchanen has written.
Richard Milhous Nixon even considering him proves how awesome he was. As extreme was he was in 1992 (For common society.), Nixon would later invite him over for dinner after a funny call.
Also Jonathan Aitken.
@@markgarrett3647 and recommendations?
One good thing about Nixon is that he worked to try and end the Vietnam War.
Well, to get us OUT. And he did, honorably, but the Class of 1974 stabbed South Vietnam in the back by cutting funding, in violation of the Paris Peace Accords. That's because the Democrats in 1975 included Commie scum like Patsy Pink, Dellums, Red Pepper, Abzug, Conyers, etc.
I read the paper copy of this essay in full the other day, it was an insightful piece. I was quite uninformed of Nixon's administration outside of Watergate. Well done.
Dig into Watergate.
He was a brilliant President, although he made some terrible decision. Progressive in many ways.
@@johnnotrealname8168 - Poor, ole' Nixon. He wanted the Dems to like him so much he actually created the EPA...adding more bureaucrats to populate the administrative state.
I'll repeat this point from my comment below...
As I've spent the last 3 decades fighting for the conservative counter- revolution, my biggest frustration has been watching as the vast majority of conservative-leaning people waste energy focusing solely on presidential elections. And if you think that's what Rufo is advising here, I suggest you're completely misunderstanding him.
I've been telling conservatives this for decades: "If your sole contribution to our movement is 20 MINUTES OF ACTIVITY EVERY FOUR YEARS (voting in presidential elections) we are doomed."
Rufo is setting the example of what we actually need to be doing. Each of us need to:
1) Learn how to PROPERLY ARTICULATE the conservative position in an intelligent, strategic and non confrontational manner.
2) Do this on an individual and interpersonal basis at every opportunity - especially with young people - knowing that the way the Left will win is by demographically overwhelming us with new generations of young people brainwashed into Neo-Marxist ideology by our captured educational institutions.
3) Fight to re-capture those educational institutions at all levels, understanding that they (not the voting booths!) are the forwardmost battlefront of the revolution.
Facts!!!
There’s a reason why we’re taught in school to think of Nixon as some reprensible, corrupt buffoon. The ruling classes acknowledge that the popular support he had and the social outlook his movement pushed is a great threat to the hold on power they have. It’s our duty to revive his image and analyze what went wrong so that we can synthesize his good ideas into a new, 21st-century context.
The sad part is that our biased “educational” system will do the exact same thing to President Trump. He’ll be painted as a criminal for decades to come by academia and the fake news media. My kids will only grow up knowing him as the last great American patriot president next to Nixon. The fire of 1776 burned in the hearts of patriots Trump and Nixon 🇺🇸
Outstanding. I have been waiting for a more sympathetic assessment on Nixon for some time. When all the usual suspects are heaping scorn on someone, I begin to suspect that person is due a reappraisal.
John Dean's reappraisal is heaping scorn on Donald Trump, while appearing as a talking head on MSNBC, and CNN.
Although jfk and Nixon were still part of the establishment in many ways, in my opinion they were some of the only presidents that tried to fight back against it
JFK really didn't. That's largely myth making in my view.
Nixon did.
Every election since 1986 I have worn my " Nixon Now" button!
This is where Vivek Ramaswamy got his campaign framework, I think 🤔
Well, now the FBI is part of the revolution.
I never knew Nixon was that based. However, after listening to years of propaganda smearing him my entire life, that should not be surprising. I need to study Nixon's life more in the future.
Thank god I found someone who feels this way too, I thought I was all alone out here. Liked and subbed. Respect from Los Angeles CA. Nixon was a SoCal boy too
Yep! Yorba Linda? San clemente?
Love it, thank you! 🙏🙏
Great work...thanks again for your efforts on our behalf.
Objectively pro-DeSantis line of thinking. Even a pro-Trump friend of mine summed up our discussion of the primary by saying “I get it; you want a Nixon.”
I am genuinely curious whether we’re going to see Nixon memes proliferate in 2023-24.
The 1968 election has no parallels to 2024 electorally. For starters, if anyone is a Richard Milhous Nixon it is Trump since he has been out of the runnings while Ronald Dion DeSantis is not much of a politician (As in limited experience.). Secondly, it was two moderate candidates facing off against Nixon not anyone from the right (Ronald Wilson Reagan was a Vice-Presidential maybe but we know who got it.). Thirdly, Nixon was not that far right, he was a moderate if anything. Finally, there is no war comparable to Vietnam. The dynamics are all of.
Completely agree. Desantis is the one
Well it was Nixon who took us out of the gold standard and he laid the foundations of making China a world power
@@johnnotrealname8168desantis limited experience and not a politician ??
He was an elected congressman and now a twice elected governor..
He had more political experience before trump ever came on the scene
@@bothi00 I meant in the scheme of Richard Milhous Nixon by the time the Presidency came along. I am not claiming Donald John Trump has had much experience (Although he has been President already so that is out of the question now.). Nixon was actually only Congressman and Senator for a short while and then Vice-President. Around thirteen years in National politics, of course Ronald Dion DeSantis has been Congressman for a bit but Governor after that. My point is that it is not comparable to Nixon. Also did I write that DeSantis was not a politician?
Great video. Once a filmmaker, always a filmmaker!
Nixon increased the size of the Federal Bureaucracy, including Nixon’s creation of the EPA.
And the first peacetime wage and price controls ever.
I think it's people like the Democrat Leonard Garment and other such people who were essentially New York Wall Street Democrats within his administration who had a lot of influence in Nixon in his decision-making on domestic matters as well.
Affirmative Action (THANKS Pat Buchanan!), LEAA, revenue sharing, and even the ONE BUREAUCRACY that Howard Phillips abolished (Office of Economic Opportunity) Nixon REPLACED with the Office of Minority Business Enterprise (!?!)
Add the welfare rolls, the SBA, BEOG (later as Pell Grant) and Title IX to that "increase" in bureaucracy. Some of you folk forget that!
@@markgarrett3647 Folk can talk about influential Wall Street Democrats all they want. But, as Truman once said, "The buck stops here!" Nixon was commander in chief, who signed all of them liberal bills!
Probably the third best President in my lifetime after Eisenhower and Reagan.
The guy who gave us Affirmative Action and Wage and Price Controls compared to a guy who gave us OIL EXPORTS from the US and got oil DOWN in price? Please also remember Reagan said he'd stop registration for the draft which Carter and Anderson endorsed, and basically lied in the debates since it's the first thing he did, and we still have it.
Folks say we progress forward, but in the first minute you show how history just repeats itself. Which is why I always say, as a former history author (and as someone who calls Nixon one of his fave presidents, as he's fascinating in a way people never see), we don't learn about history to learn about the past, but to find out what the future will be
Keen reassessment put in a discerning context with today’s parallel political turmoil will alter your mind and viewpoint of Nixon. This video is a true public service.
I get misty eyed when I see this.
Not the man we deserve, but the one we need in these troubled times
This video is bad and the politics is bad.
I completely agree!
I just learned so much! Thank you!
An excellent video
I graduated college in 1968. RFK was assassinated the same day. It was a turbulent time. Less than 5 years earlier, his brother JFK had been killed. Indeed, two months earlier in 1968, Martin Luther King had been assassinated, and I was stuck with friends in Chicago amid rioting and early curfews.
SUPER underrated thesis! Nixon’s efforts and war against the Establishment are indeed so tragically underrated.
Strong and on-point blueprint for what Conservatives must do now.
Well, he is still the one who let the Gold Standard be dropped in 1971..... which resulted in our ever-snowballing inflation and overprinting $ problems.
He also empowered China.
Also naïvely believed that by opening trade with China, the Chicoms would appreciate the gains from free trade, become more liberal, and eventually start moving towards becoming a more open society. We all saw how well that worked.
@@gyrate98 tell that to Germany before WW2 and Venezuela and Zimbabwe.
@@gyrate98 we are watching in real time as MMT is falling apart.
you mean he realized we had no gold and took us off the standard so the deep state couldnt put us in a war over gold.
Amazing work.
Excellent
loving the graphics and edit!
Wow. Thank you for this video. I was a child when Nixon resigned. I had no idea.
The woke are gonna hate this title LOL
The Eastern Establishment has Edit: "been" at it for decades.
"The only thing that's different is me. Ive become bitter, lets face it, crazy over the years. And once I'm swept into office, I'll sell our children's organs to zoo's for meat, and I'll go into people's houses at night, and wreck up the place!"
- Richard Nixon
Thanks!
Interesting. A lot of info that is new to me.
Huh. Now I undertand why that Simpsons guy, Matt Groening, hates Nixon so much.
Nixon’s trip and opening up of China without sober thought to the long-term economics and military penalties - havre had enormous consequences that will last for over a century! Nixon wanted his name to go down into the history books, well the history is not yet settled!
He went for strategic reasons not business deals.
Chuck Colson - a very different and incredible story.
This is brilliant. If anyone has a book on Nixon to recommend, I'm looking for one now
See Paul Johnson, Modern Times, Chapter Eighteen “America’s Suicide Attempt” where he offers a similar take on the conscious takedown of Nixon.
I will do that, thanks! Not the first time I've seen Modern Times recommended@@mountainrambler7926
I picked up a second hand copy of John A. Farrell's 'Richard Nixon - the life'. (Scribe publications) but haven't got far into it yet.
Whilst not directly about Nixon, “Kissinger: A Biography” by Walter Isaacson offers some insight into his presidency.
Try his book, In the Arena.
As an American immigrant, I wholeheartedly support this movement and revolution. I just got here!
Christopher r. Rufo question: did you ever read Robert Spencer's book rating the American presidents? And if you did what was your thoughts on Roberts thoughts on Nixon? And if you didn't I recommend giving it a read.
Tanned, rested and ready!
this came out 10days ago and Im now seeing it
But... but...Breton Woods! Gold standard! Fiat currency... He broke everything.
It was very popular at the time as many countries were bullying America by getting out of it or distorting it. Of course it did cause a recession, and a careening economy, but globalised trade and all that. I would recommend a book called: "Three Days at Camp David: How a Secret Meeting in 1971 Transformed the Global Economy" (2021) By Jeffrey E. Garten. Look up an interview with him about it if you do not want to read.
Super good info. How do you square this with Nixons big government legacy with the EPA and other spending?
DEA
If you come at it from a Conservative, as opposed to merely a libertarian, background there is nothing to square. The Environmental Protection Agency is not bad just as Conservation is not bad, Roger Jason Stone said likewise (Leaving aside what it has turned into.). Wanting clean air and water is of course not a liberal thing. As for spending it depends, his welfare programmes were progressive but the Family Assistance Plan was based on a negative income tax which I think Milton Friedman supported. Finally, Richard Milhous Nixon was not a Conservative but a pragmatist, it is why John Daniel Ehrlichman could be Domestic Council and Patrick Joseph Buchanan could be speechwriter.
@@johnnotrealname8168 why would he not understand the dangers of a new government department when he was also speaking against the evils of the bureaucratic state?
@@aaronbullen9120 If you read the enabling EPA legislation it was very clearly defined what EPA could and could not do. Over the years the courts and executive branch have allowed the EPA to expand its authority far beyond its enabling legislation. Under leftwing presidents, they take major leaps forward (gas stoves?) so that "defeating them" means moving them back to less radical, yet still illegal positions like regulating CO2 emissions. CO2 is not a pollutant under the EPA's original legislation. What the right fails to realize is the most radical goals are never the plan, it's the less radical yet still illegal "compromise positions" that they desire. They rinse and repeat this cycle because the right will ALWAYS adopt leftwing policies of 20 years ago, because the right is so desperate to be seen as legitimate, they will never actually do what needs to be done. Trump didn't "repeal and replace" ObamaCare did he?
@@aaronbullen9120 Richard Milhous Nixon was not a Conservative, also the environmental movement was gearing up. Call it pragmatism or weakness but he probably thought some good would come.
DJT is the closest thing to Dicky
its also when the stones released 'sympathy', coincidence?
Nixon was alright. And under his leadership, the US did much better in the Vietnam War. Really the change was General Westmoreland's wrong strategy to General Abrams better strategy but nevertheless, Nixon was the top boss.
Westmoreland always wanted to strike all the way to Cambodia where the Communist Vietnamese had established bases under the cover of its duplicitous Prime Minister and royal Prince Sihanouk but LBJ always turned down his proposals.
For years I have kept in silent admiration for Nixon. It's about time the public and younger generations see him for the Brilliant and forward-thinking man he was.
Read all but one of his books, I admire him.
“ Richard Nixon is an opportunist, Dutch Reagan is a patriot”
If only you'd read his Checker speech then you would hesitate in that line of thinking.
If Nixon was running today against Biden i would vote Nixon lol
My thanks. Carry on! -Seb! #NixonFOREVER
And yet -- 1971 was the year *everything* went off the rails
Please don’t use modern rhetoric to describe and criticize past events. There was no swamp, the bureaucracy did not cause the fall of Nixon. He used the bureaucratic resources at his hands to inappropriately investigate his political rivals. It was a massive transgression of trust and law. Nixon is I think one of the most brilliant and incorrectly reviled presidents of our past. You skipped all the work he did to improve civil rights, while at the same time as rejecting violence as a method of attaining those improvements. All that said, his downfall was his alone. It was his own fatal flaw as an individual that caused his end. But here’s another difference from today: he owned his mistake, and had the honor and love of country to enforce upon himself the right outcome in his resignation. From a modern eye, he’s one of the smartest, and most truly American presidents in our history, including because of the fact that he placed the country and rule of law above himself through the act of resigning. He may have made mistakes, but he should be remembered as a great man and a great president.
You underestimate the Military Industrial Complex and the Establishment and just how corrupt they’ve always been. It has always hated the Anti-Establishment Candidates.
It makes sense why the Left and why Liberal Propaganda has made us think Nixon was terrible. In reality, he went against the status quo.
He told J Edgar Hoover to put down his dress………..
"Arooo! After them, headless-body-of-Agnew!"
Okay, I know I haven’t watched the whole video yet, but Nixon didn’t tell Hoover to do anything he wasn’t already doing. Second nothing in the future will benefit from the rise of the three letter agencies during this time.
This video is spot on. See also Paul Johnson, Modern Times, Chapter Eighteen “America’s Suicide Attempt” where he offers a similar take on the conscious takedown of Nixon.

A different time and generation most of it wouldn't fly today
THE FBI went after him.
"Although some of Hoover's actions went beyond the rule of law" ... the ends justify the means I guess?

But remember, he opened Pandora’s Box, CHINA.
America’s true Marxist-Leninist movement ended far before Weather Underground. For simplicity’s sake, it died with the end of World War II. The Black Panthers were the only group that was vaguely Marxist, although they also had an incredible amount of ideological infighting amongst themselves.
What we saw with the start of the 60s with the anti-war movement up until today is actually a product of Karl Popper’s influence through the Frankfurt School of philosophy - which was NOT Marxist, contrary to popular belief. Karl Popper was famously anti-Marx, and many of the Frankfurt School’s followers were actually banned in countries like the Soviet Union and Poland because the political and government authorities there realized the threat the Frankfurt School posed to a Marxist-Leninist party.
In fact, Popper coined phrases like “Open Society” and “Great Reset,” and his book “The Open Society and Its Enemies” have served as blueprints for Soros-funded and WEF-aligned organizations peddling for influence across the globe. These groups have routinely named China, Russia, and even Trump as the greatest “threats” to “open society” and “democracy.” Why would they do this if conservatives understand that Soros’ media plants and the WEF are run by communists? Because they aren’t communists. That’s the point I’m trying to make here.
Conservatives correctly point out the many perils of today’s society and their roots, but they go on to label the ones causing these problems as “Marxists” or “communists.” This is because they don’t take their critical thinking past surface-level observations, opting for labeling their ideological opponents with buzzwords that have historically scared Americans because of the Cold War propaganda they’ve been subjected to for so long. This strips right-wing thought leaders of any further responsibility of analyzing the complete picture and gives them a convenient scapegoat for any situation they deem to be too difficult to interpret within the rightist framework.
What’s important here is to realize that many of the enemies of American national sovereignty are the same enemies that countries like China, Russia, and Iran have today. NGOs and malign think tanks that operate in the name of spreading “freedom” stir up conflict across every corner of the world, co-opting genuine grievances among the population and funneling their energy into political malfeasance that serves the interest of monopoly capital.
These institutions use baffling methods and go to reprehensible lengths to divide entire nations. During the Hong Kong 2019 riots, for example, genuine concerns and economic problems held by the people were amplified with violent media campaigns that originated in foreign circles. The result? The equivalent of Chinese Antifa terrorized local neighborhoods, destroyed metro/public transportation stations, and even killed elderly people all in the name of fighting the evil CCP and its extradition bill. What we saw was the same conservatives in America that correctly condemned the George Floyd riots in 2020 cheering on the same kind of social upheaval in China. This is how media infiltration works, dividing potential allies up and having them celebrate each other’s demise.
This doesn’t mean you have to agree with everything China, Russia, Iran, Pakistan, etc. does, but operating on diplomacy based on mutual understanding and cooperation, more or less like Trump did, goes a long way in combatting the globalist agenda. This is the political axis upon which true patriots of every country must operate on. You must see past the propaganda. If you find yourself believing everything you see on cable television and mainstream news with regard to a foreign government or movement, challenge yourself to rethink the narrative. Ask yourself who benefits and why would certain actors push these ideas.
Only Trump has a plan and the ability to fulfilled this
The swamp despises Trump because he is a disrupter. He disrupted the money flow to the war industry, made peace in the middleast and developed a peaceful understanding with Russia, China. North Korea and Iran that was premised on 'Peace through Strength'.
No, he's too chaotic and incompetent for this. Wokism actually got worse under him. Go with DeSantis for 2024.
@@samuelhoran7898I think DeSantis has done a great job in Florida. But Trump's policies worked. All DeSantis and others would be doing is continuing with Trump's policies. But if Trump gets screwed by one or more of the Bogus indictments I would definitely go with DeSantis.
Trump will be out for revenge on the deep state. I like that plan. He will not be worried about re-election. I like that plan.
@@samuelhoran7898 It certainly accelerated but that is hardly his fault. A lot of this crowd's ideas came also under him. Blaming him is a bit stupid.

Nixon's silent majority no longer exists. Except for the more extreme manifestation of the 60's cultural revolution, it has mostly become the dominant culture today. We have become a much more coarse society over the past 50-60 years. Unfortunately, I don't see that changing. Everything from music, how people dress, the language we use, our attitude towards drug use, sexual promiscuity, what's considered decent, the break down of the family, the quality of churches (plenty of scandals there), this is all being affected by peoples desire to be fashionable, current, and cool. A square upright person of 1960 would seem as out of place today as the Amish. That would be a hard sell to most people.
Honestly this is a very fresh way of looking at things, and I’m surprised I’ve never seen anyone mention it before. You’re right, everyone is so pathetically obsessed with being seen as “cool” or “hip” these days, that there aren’t really any REAL mainstream Americans left. The hippy movement was the beginning of this, back in the 60s-70s they were a fringe culture that existed on the very edges of American life. But now their obsession with being cool, being “unique”, and being the MOST on-top of political issues has spread like a virus…
And it’s not just left wing people who have been infected. Modern Internet-addicted conservatives act the exact same way. Look at all the conservative losers/grifters on the Internet who are now OBSESSED with childish things like foreign sports cars, having harems of women, and “pranking” people on the left. It’s all so unbelievably degenerate.
I’m sure an upright, square, morally sound American from 1960 would be equally as appalled by some green haired protestor as he would by the weed smoking MAGA guys rolling around town blasting music in a lifted truck. Every inch of America has been infected by this childishness.
Well, props to the creators for producing such well produced and highly scripted content that it took me several minutes into to realize that I'm not in my sector.
Most right-wing propaganda is so badly produced and belligerently stupid that I kill it immediately. Got me to watch the whole video.
I am tired of RUclips throttling your influence.
Nixon was the last new deal era president
You dont know the first thing about marxism. I think its above your head. I love how appealing you find Nixon's paranoia. Also, he was a fascistic war criminal.
LBJ made Vietnam War America's War.
he played his hand too hard and CIA made sure he knew… Nixon is one of my personal heroes
The parallels are definitely there, but I think Nixon's name is such mud with the general public that this is a loser argument.
Extended the Vietnam war needlessly. A tragedy.
I always heard he was excellent in foreign relations
Man he’s sounding more like another president who they are trying to kick out of the swamp
Some good points, but let’s not forget this guy started the war on drugs with clear racial and crackdown of opposition intentions. He also spied on the democratic campaign.
The War on Drugs in his time was not bad and he did not spy, although he did use the Internal Revenue Service for example.
There’s no peace of Christ without the reign of Christ. The next conservative leader must be somebody who believes himself subject to God’s moral law and judgment.
So Nixon's preserved head for president? Aroo?
I think the candidate for the job might not be a republican. RFK Jr. is pushing very similar rhetorics to Nixon. I think he might be the guy to get the ball rolling.
Pretend I'm Nixon
_Ra: I am Ra. The possibility/probabilities exist for situations in which great portions of your continent and the globe in general might be involved in the type of warfare which you might liken to guerrilla warfare. The ideal of freedom from the so-called invading force of either the controlled fascism or the equally controlled social common ownership of all things would stimulate great quantities of contemplation upon the great polarization implicit in the contrast between freedom and control. In this scenario which is being considered at this time/space nexus the idea of obliterating valuable sites and personnel would not be considered an useful one. Other weapons would be used which do not destroy as your nuclear arms would. In this ongoing struggle the light of freedom would burn within the mind/body/spirit complexes capable of such polarization. Lacking the opportunity for overt expression of the love of freedom, the seeking for inner knowledge would take root aided by those of the Brothers and Sisters of Sorrow which remember their calling upon this sphere._
Questioner: Are you saying then that this possible condition of war would be much more greatly spread across the surface of the globe than anything we have experienced in the past and therefore touch a larger percentage of the population in this form of catalyst?
_Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. There are those now experimenting with one of the major weapons of this scenario, that is the so-called psychotronic group of devices which are being experimentally used to cause such alterations in wind and weather as will result in eventual famine. If this program is not countered and proves experimentally satisfactory, the methods in this scenario would be made public.
