The Journey 153. Nick Bryant: The Truth About Watergate
Publisher Kris Millegan speaks with Nick Bryant about his new book, THE TRUTH ABOUT WATERGATE: A Tale of Extraordinary Lies and Liars, which shatters the myth that Watergate was a triumph of democracy, and that Bob Woodward deserves a place among the pantheon of journalistic immortals.
Summary:
Watergate was a silent coup. At the heart of Watergate is a CIA honey trap. The CIA came after Nixon because one of the first things he did as president was cut the CIA, the State Department, and the Defense Department out of his foreign policy and because he wanted to make peace with communists, the Soviet Union and China.
Nick wanted to make Watergate accessible with immaculate scholarship (with over 2,000 citations of sources).
Woodward and Bernstein were ethical eunuchs. Woodward’s path to employment at The Washington Post is very sketchy. Nick calls him a crypto-fascist and a spook. Kris: “I have no doubt he was Naval Intelligence.”
Also discussed is the history of the drug trade from Asia, known by Washington. And Nick’s non-profit, EpsteinJustice.com, dedicated to getting justice for Jeffrey Epstein’s victim.
Nick, paraphrasing: “The mainstream hasn’t reported how vicious some of Epstein’s clients were. Some of them world leaders. Some like to beat little girls. Congressional approval is at 17%, which means Americans don’t believe that Congress is helping us. A lot of our politicians are sociopaths, willing to make Faustian pacts. But a lot of them are blackmailed.”
Congressman Tim Burchett came out in December and said, “A bunch of my colleagues are being blackmailed by honey traps in motels.” Nick has been saying this for years.
Nick also wrote THE FRANKLIN SCANDAL: A Story of Powerbrokers, Child Abuse, & Betrayal, and co-wrote CONFESSIONS OF A DC MADAM: The Politics of Sex, Lies, and Blackmail. He can be following at nickbryantnyc.com.
