A freaky, as in disturbing thing I've been watching online this week are some of the Nixon tapes.
That guy was like Darth Vadar level evil, almost a stereotype of the dark villain
There's a conversation he has with Kissinger where he say's 'Let me make this clear, I don't give a damn about the civilian casualties! I really could not care less!' when talking about the Vietnamese.
In another meeting he asks Kissinger 'Can we destroy the dikes, that would drown people? How many?', then before Kissinger can answer he follows up with ' Of course I'd rather just use a nucleur bomb, have we got that ready yet?',
Kissinger then tries to warn against the idea saying 'I really think that would be a bit much', to which Nixon interuppts 'God Damn Henry! I just want you to think big for Christ's sake!'
Another interesting video he is talking about Jewish and Negroe spies. He talks about how the Jews are born spies because they are arrogant and have a malignancy about them (of course that won't be shocking to you Miles), but then he notes that negroes don't make good spies, and agrees with an aide that it is probably because they are not intelligent enough.
Seriously the guy was a fucking racist, crazed loon!
It makes me really worry about the World Trade Centre, imo it HAS to have been an inside job. The US have been shown to have done this kind of thing too many times in the past. The Gulf of Tonkin incident, the allowance of the bombing of Pearl Harbour so they could retaliate, and now Nixon's own evil words.
By the way Miles, you must watch the Most Dangerous Man In America about Daniel Elsberg, brilliant documentary.
In it Elsberg makes a really moving point, when he says the most upsetting thing that could happen to him was when he blew the lid of the Vietnam War scandals, and gave the public the truth, and that they could see it, and understand it, but that they wouldn't care anyway and just wouldn't be bothered.
The scene then moves on to the election and Nixon gets reelected back into governement by a massive landslide winning 49 of the 50 states
The same thing happened in Bush's second term when despite all the damning facts revealed in Michael Moor's doc the American people just didn't care. They saw it, they learnt the truth, and cared not and voted him back in again anyway.
Elsberg was right I think when he said this was his saddest discovery, to learn about the human nature of his fellow man.![]()
