McCord's FBI, CIA links...Watergate 'double-agent' ?

[EVDebs]

With W. Mark Felt ?

This would link the CIA and old-line FBI. The horizontal piece of tape always looked like the most OBVIOUS in plain sight evidence that the whole Watergate episode was CIA backed

1. No Doubt

The money men wanted Nixon out. Not only was he opening up China (too soon for the cold warrior munitions suppliers), but the wage and price control fiasco sealed the deal.

2. The perfect storm.

Adms Moorer's spy ring, and Adm Zumwalt livid over the SALT fiasco Delta subs/4000mi range ballistic missles, POWs potentially being left behind (the sanitized guys out of uniform in the drug-traffic mentioned in Kiss The Boys Goodbye by the Stevensons), and the FBI and CIA miffed over the White House trying to steal their domestic operations with the Huston Plan.

Stir slowly, let boil, and voila, the law of unintended consequences bites and the conservatives end up shafting one of their own.

All underneath the media radar and in plain sight.

5. To this day I wonder about 11/22/63.

We now know that Kennedy and Kruschev were working behind the scenes to lower Cold War tensions until Russian missiles were put into Cuba and then a wrench was tossed into the works. Some time later Kennedy announced that the war in Vietnam had to be won by the South Vietnamese, not American soldiers, with the implication that our commitment would not grow any larger under his administration. All this must have shaken certain very powerful people. The fact that the military and the Cold War industry made trillions of the Cold War and Vietnam, I wonder how certain of these people might have had a hand in Kennedy's death.

When Johnson entered the picture we had only 16,000 troops in Vietnam. When he was finished, we had over a half million. According to Stanley Karnow author of Vietnam, Johnson knew that the attack on the 2 US ships in the Tonkin Bay were never attacked on the second day, the day that Johnson used as an excuse to go to Congress and ask those crooks to give him full powers to do what he wanted. I wonder what Johnson's true legacy should be?

It should obvious to anyone in Washington politics -- play the game or leave under your own power or feet first!

3. You are asking an important question.

So, if Mark Felt was deep throat, where did he (and the FBI) get its information? Sure, it investigated, but what did it find out? Who did it talk to? What people or facts were whispering in Mark Felt's ear? What information was he relying on? Was someone feeding the information to him?

4. Hint. McCord was formerly an FBI agent.....

6. I wonder who 'inherited' J Edgars secret files?

Edit: Tic-toc-tic-toc.

Do you suppose Poppy lays awake at night thinking about when that clock will stop and who will stop it?
