Reply #53: Thanks . . . I've never read Ehrlichman . . . despicable character. . ..

Presume this was his only non-fiction book?

Actually, so much went on in Nixon's White House --
They were playing and replaying Nazi propaganda -- analyzing it.
Even today, we can see that impact still ongoing in the GOP -- in fact, enlarged over Nixon's time.

Nixon was Prescott Bush's guy -- Prescott ran an ad --
Nixon wanted a slush fund beyond his Congressional salary --
He got it -- so from the very beginning illegimate finances.

While I'm not saying that Nixon would have directed murders himself -- though I don't doubt it --
I do think he was a knowing accomplice in the JFK coup and helped keep it covered up.

Ehrlichman, IMO, had fascist tendencies and loved to not "witness" but to be part of power --
That will often take a compromise with morality ---

Even being part of immoral and evil decisions making and carrying out those orders --

I have no better opinion of Haldemann, either --

I think they both understood that someone was paving the way for Nixon -- even to the point of murder -- they were intelligent men and were frequently around when a lot happened which would make it obvious. The "plane crash" with Dorothy Hunt, for instance, though that was close to the end.
The signposts were there all along the way during their time with Nixon.

Neither one has told us very much -- maybe because they felt their own complicity in the end????
