Reply #5: Watergate was part of the shadow government being revealed.

The political climate was paranoid between Hoover's FBI and Richard McGarrah Helms final days as CIA Director shredding docs about his pet project- mind control--the FBI and CIA didn't even talk to one another {by Hoover's order} back then.

Yet both these national security agencies perpetrated injustice sometimes in the domestic operations against American citizens primarily aimed at black nationalists and their supporters, The New Left.

There was terrorism from the federal agencies, believe you me, assassinations, bombings, arson, beatings I saw too much of all that myself in the early 1970's, a continuation of Operation CHAOS or COINTELPRO IMHO.
