Bill Murray was right: The Washington Post framed Richard Nixon

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2025/03/bill_murray_was_right_the_washington_post_framed_richard_nixon.html

The Washington Post did frame Nixon, causing the removal of a highly effective president who, like Donald Trump, was disliked more for personality than politics.

This accusation is not made lightly and is the subject of the book Postgate, which details this journalistic dishonesty. Space allows only for a partial recounting of the mountain of evidence Postgate presents.

Two weeks before the June 17, 1972, Watergate burglary arrests, the same burglary team had entered the Democratic National Committee ("DNC") Headquarters in Washington, D.C., successfully wiretapping one phone. The line tapped, oddly, belonged to a low-level Democratic campaign official, not even a direct employee of the DNC.

The wiretap monitor, Alfred Baldwin, III, soon told the FBI that he had been listening to "explicitly intimate" conversations on that phone line. He later testified that nine out of ten people listening would believe the conversations were about prostitution (e.g., "sex and dinner to follow"), although he did not call it prostitution since, as an ex-FBI agent, he knew that money was not discussed.

One burglar was carrying the desk key of a secretary who was later identified as keeping information on the referral operation. Some suspect the information sought was pictures of the girls to be shown to the DNC visitors, who were to later speak on the phone to one of these young women to arrange evening activities.

Much more detail follows...

Fascinating essay. Glad you made it and are going to take a few more laps around the sun. Men of a certain age and responsibility think of this everyday. You comment about begging people to like you was spot on and a delicious bon mot at the end.

Keep scribbling please.

Best wishes to you all. Glad I checked in, was worried about you all.

I will continue to scour the interwebs daily for whatever info is available, to then digest it on my own. I will miss the addition of your insights.

Regular, you've got some good not-on-our-side ones on there - e.g. Matt Taibbi and Glen Greenwald don't come from anything close to our perspective, but, they do try to be honest and seek out truth, so are well worth paying attention to.

And of course the inimitable Mark Steyn is the best for a laugh that we still have with us.

Glad to hear from you and thank you for the status update.
The link to Scragged on my iPad homepage remains in the lineup of conservative sites I open daily to see what has transpired since the previous day. Over the last couple of months, I've clicked on Scragged less, but always check for any new posting a few times per week. So it was great to see this posting today!
And I agree re: "we have no confidence that we're seeing any truth at all". We're not!
"If their lips are moving, they're lying" applies to damn near every person disseminating information, regardless of the subject.
Thanks again Petrarch

Re: Money That's Nothing

trading one fiat "currency" (the dollar for example)
for another fiat "currency" (crypto) does not make much sense.
the reason gold and silver, and a lesser extent copper are used as currency is because of the value they have outside of being currency.
gold, for all practical purposes does not corrode.
silver is the most reflective metal, the most conductive metal,
and is anti viral/bacterial.
copper is also anti viral/bacterial.
crypto has zero value outside of pretending it is currency.
and it is too volatile.

"The first banks originated from jewelers"
actually the first banks originated with the knights templar.
who would take gold in, in one place, and pay gold out in another, so travelers to the holy land, would not get robbed on their journey.

We humans are a contentious lot, and so may not fall under the umbrella of "Intelligent Beings".

actually, statistically, we could just as easily be alone, with no other intelligent life in the universe, as there could be other intelligent life in the universe.

Re: Sex, Lies, and Anti-Science Feminists

Tue, 19 Dec 2023 06:47:11 GMT

Terrified that TV media and internet have censored as if Feminism is literally FemiNazism. You literally type in 'anti-feminism' or any 'anti-feminism topic' today get ONLY exact opposite, feminist attacks on the subject. Even 'men's rights' or 'skyrocketing male suicide', even 'men's health' and 'prostate/testicular cancer info, lectures, videos'. It is as bad if not worse that libraries and schools were under Nazism, Communism, Fascism, Creationism when I first taught evolution. Yet today already, most men out, we science teachers ordered 'toxic masculinity' official school policy, now 'feelings INSTEAD of Facts' in Science class.!

My last male colleague, like me, honestly thought it was a joke, ended up on new 'professional review', even if you give the benefit of the doubt all gender both names like Sandy to be female, over 96% of those listed are men while only 26% of we teachers are men. He ordered to take 'gender sensitivities' classes which literally included the 1967 English translation of S C U M Manifesto not only promoted in Amazon by 'free on kindle'.

Have you read it? Only takes 10 minutes, how can all this and 'kill all men' on YouTube NOT be banned as hate speech while men already guilty of hatred of women rejecting feminism as science always has.

I went into Scince., 2 degrees 7 years plus to prove feminism but any scientist who doesn't confirm every scientific study ever done disproves feminist claims is not ethical scientist.
Remember what I wrote about science teachers ordered to adhere both to toxic masculinity and what's now referred to as 'feminist science', 'feelings instead of fact.'

That my female teaching colleagues have gone along with is official and legal misandry, terrifies me.
I recall being taught this was exactly what other 'isms' do, communism, fascism, Nazism, religion fanaticism, control the clergy, the schools, the courts.

I can't be alone in fearing repeat of history, politicians and courts, let alone teachers?

Any organizations, court cases, movements defending us?

Re: Why War in Ukraine?

Mon, 20 Nov 2023 15:01:26 GMT

Well, you got that wrong. Russia saw a disunited NATO and wanted Black Sea dominance. Hence, Crimea. No response from the west or NATO. Despite Western "guarantees" if Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons.

Ukraine is a gold mine of industrial and agricultural power. Russia wanted it so it tried to take it. It's still trying. Russia is an expansionist state with ventures all over the Middle East and Africa -- but not in the bailiwick of the other expansionist stage: China.

Re: Why War in Ukraine?

Sir, you are much mistaken regarding the damage done to the Russian army. You could not be more mistaken, in fact. I would go as far to say that the Russian army today is far stronger and far more dangerous than it was when the SMO began.
As a longtime reader of Scragged, this is one of the vanishingly few ones that is factually erroneous. With all respect.
