Proof of Nixon's treason. 30,000 died for his election

[Kingofalldems]

Nixon sabotaged peace process in 1968 by pressing South Vietnam to hold out on joining talks. All so he could get elected. Worse than Watergate.

These notes were just found. See the one with the exclamation point:





Nixon ordered Haldeman to 'put a monkey wrench' on potential peace talks.

1. Burn in hell.

My strong funny loving father was among the casualties, eventually. Peace to all. All except RN.

[madokie]

3. Slowly but surely taking me out too

fuck the warmongers

[mahina]

21. Aloha no Madokie

Love to you.

[Chasstev365]

2. Why the hell LBJ did not go public with it I'll never know

There is tape of him telling Evertt Dirkson it's treason.

The Reagan campaign cut a deal to keep the hostages in Iran iuntil after the 1980 election which grew into Iran Contra and now this!

Come Democrats: DO NOT LET THE TREASONOUS GOP GET AWAY WITH THE HACKING SCANDAL! DON'T MOVE ON!

[DK504]

15. LBJ was afraid of getting killed too

He did a number of things that kept him alive.

[HoneyBadger]

19. LBJ was complicit

Gulf of Tokin fakeout. History shows that the Vietnamese NEVER stop fighting. Could take a hundred years, they always win on their turf.

4. The GOP has betrayed this Country over and over again.

It is about to administer the coup de grace.

[SammyWinstonJack]

6. Only way they can "win", it would appear.

[uponit7771]

24. +1

[libtodeath]

30. We are in our final days.

[jalan48]

5. And in the end what did all of those young men die for anyway?

So that Nike can make it's shoes there?

[rurallib]

14. wish I could rec a comment!

[Fast Walker 52]

7. Why are Republicans such motherfucking treasonous assholes???

Nixon, Reagan, GWB, Trump. Argghhh.

[annabanana]

8. Because the whole IDEA of America has always

gone completely over their heads... or wasn't convenient for their purse, ...or both

[Fast Walker 52]

9. there certainly is a consistent and pathological evil to them, and even more sickening is how

they keep getting elected after it's clear how horrible they are.

[uponit7771]

25. +1, they hate the "..ALL... men (should be people) are created equal part" to a T

[OKNancy]

10. Because I lived through this and knew this was happening is why I hate the hard left

All those SDS assholes who hated Johnson and Humphrey... got us Nixon.
They wanted some sort of perfect person and if they couldn't get it, then fuck you. Kind of like Susan Sarandon.

Sometimes one needs to be pragmatic and practical. Otherwise, you get horrible, horrible people like Nixon and Trump.

--
Although given a choice, I prefer Nixon. I think Trump is insane.

[90-percent]

16. The loss of Bobby and MLK that summer

Was also why we got Nixon. Imagine what would have been if Bobby wasn't killed!

Only the good die from murky and unsolvable assassinations.

-90% Jimmy

[Fast Walker 52]

23. they were murky but fishy as hell, and now we know they were probably CIA/FBI jobs

And of course the FBI helped Trump get elected this year.

[FailureToCommunicate]

18. SDS and the hard left gave the election to Nixon?

The Vietnam War, especially the Tet Offensive, Bobby Kennedy's and MLK's assinations, picking Hubert Humphrey over Eugene McCarthy at the Democratic Convention in August in Chicago, Mayor Richard Daley, and enough voters buying Tricky Dick's 'restore law and order' crap -like the rioting that followed King’s assassination- gave us that bastard Nixon.

"Hello history? Give me re-write"

[truebluegreen]

27. For some people it is always "the left's" fault.

Thank you for your post.

[Fast Walker 52]

22. this is true-- I think Tom Hayden wrote a piece recanting his stance on this, and saying to not make

the same mistake for Trump.

of course the hard left assholes-- Bernie or Bust or Green voters-- still wouldn't be reasoned with, again.

[uponit7771]

26. +1, I don't remember reading Nixon praising leaders of America's adversaries

[Fast Walker 52]

11. Wow, does this sound like recent events:

"In a conversation with the Republican senator Everett Dirksen, the minority leader, Johnson lashed out at Nixon. “I’m reading their hand, Everett,” Johnson told his old friend. “This is treason.”

“I know,” Dirksen said mournfully.

Johnson’s closest aides urged him to unmask Nixon’s actions. But on a Nov. 4 conference call, they concluded that they could not go public because, among other factors, they lacked the “absolute proof,” as Defense Secretary Clark Clifford put it, of Nixon’s direct involvement.

Nixon was elected president the next day."

[Kingofalldems]

20. Now we have the proof.

[lark]

12. Repugs are traitors,

or at least the deplorables that support the orange criminal are. McCain and Graham show signs of caring about the country, at least as far as putting us first and not sucking Putins dick.

[Kingofalldems]

31. So you believe Trump's Russia stance to be a good thing?

[Botany]

13. 30,000 Americans and a million + people in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos

Grand total of war deaths: Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos (1954-1975)

17. LBJ taped conversation with GOP Senate minority leader agreeing it was treason

[TheBlackAdder]

28. This "knowledge" has been out there for decades, I don't know why it's a sudden revelation now.

[Docreed2003]

32. Was thinking the same thing...

I thought it was common knowledge that Nixon had done this. Is it just noteworthy now because of the smoking gun of the papers?
