JFK RFK MLK Assassination Forum

Richard Milhous Nixon (January 9, 1913 – April 22, 1994) was the 37th President of the United States, serving from 1969 to 1974. The only president to resign the office, Nixon had previously served as a US representative and senator from California and as the 36th Vice President of the United States from 1953 to 1961 under President Dwight D. Eisenhower.Nixon was born in Yorba Linda, California. After completing his undergraduate work at Whittier College, he graduated from Duke University School of Law in 1937 and returned to California to practice law. He and his wife, Pat Nixon, moved to Washington to work for the federal government in 1942. He subsequently joined the United States Navy, serving in the Pacific Theatre during World War II. Nixon was elected to the House of Representatives in 1946 and to the Senate in 1950. His pursuit of the Hiss Case established his reputation as a leading anti-communist, and elevated him to national prominence. He was the running mate of Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Republican Party presidential nominee in the 1952 election, the first of five national nominations he received from his party, a record he shares with Franklin Roosevelt. Nixon served for eight years as vice president, traveling extensively and undertaking major assignments from Eisenhower. Nixon waged an unsuccessful presidential campaign in 1960, narrowly losing to John F. Kennedy, and lost a race for Governor of California in 1962. Following these defeats, he announced his withdrawal from political life. However, in 1968 he ran again for the presidency and was elected.American involvement in Vietnam was widely unpopular; although Nixon initially escalated the war there, he subsequently moved to end US involvement, completely withdrawing American forces by 1973. Nixon's ground-breaking visit to the People's Republic of China in 1972 opened diplomatic relations between the two nations, and he initiated détente and the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty with the Soviet Union the same year. In domestic policy, his administration generally sought to transfer power from Washington to the states. In an attempt to slow inflation, Nixon imposed wage and price controls. He enforced desegregation of Southern schools and established the Environmental Protection Agency. Though he presided over Apollo 11, the culmination of the project to land a person on the moon, he scaled back manned space exploration. He was reelected by a landslide in 1972.Nixon's second term was marked by crisis: 1973 saw an Arab oil embargo as a result of U.S. support for Israel in the Yom Kippur War and a continuing series of revelations about the Watergate scandal, which began as a break-in at a Washington office. The scandal escalated despite efforts by the Nixon administration to cover it up, costing Nixon much of his political support, and on August 9, 1974, he resigned in the face of almost certain impeachment and removal from office. After his resignation, he was controversially issued a pardon by his successor, Gerald Ford. In retirement, Nixon's work authoring several books and undertaking many foreign trips helped to rehabilitate his image. He suffered a debilitating stroke on April 18, 1994, and died four days later at the age of 81. Nixon remains a source of considerable interest among historians, as they struggle to resolve the enigma of a president of great ability who left office in disgrace yet subsequently reinvented himself as an elder statesman.

Was Nixon referencing the Dallas conspiracy in his presidential tapes by using the veiled phrase "that Bay of Pigs thing"? Nixon: "When you get in these people when you...get these people in, say: "Look, the problem is that this will open the whole, the whole Bay of Pigs thing, and the President just feels that" ah, without going into the details... don't, don't lie to them to the extent to say there is no involvement, but just say this is sort of a comedy of errors, bizarre, without getting into it, "the President believes that it is going to open the whole Bay of Pigs thing up again. And, ah because these people are plugging for, for keeps and that they should call the FBI in and say that we wish for the country, don't go any further into this case, period". (The Smoking Gun Tape: http://watergate.info/tapes/72-06-23_smoking-gun.shtml) Also interesting on the conspiracy was Nixon's call to Lyndon Johnson, soon before he died in 1973 as the Watergate matter was threatening his presidency, hoping to get Johnson to intercede in his behalf to call off the dogs. As I recall Nixon threatened to expose some of Johnson's illegal actions if he didn't help him, and then according to Haldeman or Ehrlichman in their book, Johnson made a threat of his own to expose Nixon's or Republican criminality.

Where was Donald Kendall?by dankbaar » Thu May 12, 2011 4:42 am Where was Donald Kendall, (former CEO of Pepsi, friend of Bush and Nixon) on the night of 11/21/1963?The allies of evil are ignorance, apathy and the wish to not believe.

He was in Dallas together with Phillip Twombly, his Coca Cola CIA friend, "staying with friends". So he was not staying in a hotel. Any idea who those "friends" could have been? http://mtracy9.tripod.com/kennedy_nixon.htmNIXON on Watergate tapes to Haldeman: When you get in to see these people, say: "Look, the problem is that this will open the whole, the whole Bay of Pigs thing, and the President just feels that..." ah, I mean, without going into the details of, of lying to them to the extent to say that there is no involvement. But, you can say, "This is sort of a comedy of errors, bizarre," without getting into it, "The President's belief is that this is going to open the whole Bay of Pigs thing up again. And, ah because ah these people are playing for, for keeps and that they should call the FBI in and we feel that ... that we wish for the country, don't go any further into this case, period!" November 10, 1963,Dear Jack,I will be attending the bottler's convention the week of 11/18.Two rooms have been reserved at the Adolpus for O'Malley and Canty for 11/21. You can arrive any time and stay as long as you like if you are worn out from your trip from the coast. Everything is taken care of; just sign the tab. Kendall and I are staying with friends and we have a business meeting the night of the 21st. I am leaving at noon on the 22nd, so I won't see you until you get back to California. See you in Fullerton, Best regardsPhilThe allies of evil are ignorance, apathy and the wish to not believe.

Re: Where was Donald Kendall?by dankbaar » Fri May 13, 2011 1:57 am *The evidence that executives of the Pepsi-Cola company, the CIA, and Richard Nixon were involved in the JFK assassination becomes even more credible when one considers that these three parties collaborated in a plot against another president: Salvador Allende, the socialist leader of Chile. As the British newspaper The Guardian reports, "...the October 1970 plot against Chile's President-elect Salvador Allende, using CIA 'sub-machine guns and ammo', was the direct result of a plea for action a month earlier by Donald Kendall, chairman of PepsiCo, in two telephone calls to the company's former lawyer, President Richard Nixon. Kendall arranged for the owner of the company's Chilean bottling operation to meet National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger on September 15. Hours later, Nixon called in his CIA chief, Richard Helms, and, according to Helms's handwritten notes, ordered the CIA to prevent Allende's inauguration." Gregory Palast, "A Marxist threat to cola sales? Pepsi demands a US coup. Goodbye Allende. Hello Pinochet," The Guardian, 8 November 1998http://mtracy9.tripod.com/kennedy.htmlGuess who organized the coup in Chile? Good old David Atlee Phillips.

I'd like to see a focused article on Kissinger, probably the "dirtiest" of intelligence operatives still alive (see Christopher Hitchens "The Trial of Henry Kissinger"). It seems to be a principle of power politics in the Macciavellian sense, that if you are able to eliminate your political foes or competitors you and your associates and kids will ride the crest of power; a sterling example of this is the Bush crime family.
