Playlists: M3U | RAM (Individual MP3):
Jack Anderson had longstanding ties to the Israeli lobby and
deliberately floated Israeli propaganda. His expenses were paid for
at times by ADL. Shows how a columnist could be manipulated by private
pressure groups. MCP had a mutual friend who shared an office with
Anderson who was a lobbyist for the Israelis.
A caller noted that Nixon was probably purged by Jewish lobby. Nixon
was seriously reassessing Mideast policy to distress of Henry Kissinger
and Alex Haig. Nixon mentioned that he might tear up prepared speech
and expose Israeli Lobby in State of Union in 1975. But Nixon never
made it to the 1975 State of the Union because he was forced out of
office. MCP notes that "Deep Throat" during Watergate was
probably James Angleton and not former FBI Director Mark Felts. Felts
never said publicly that he was Deep Throat. Members of his family
have said that he suggested that he was Deep Throat. Bob Woodward
has come out and said Mark Felts was Deep Throat. If you look at the
story, not as cut and dried as it appears. MCP thinks it was Prof
Joan Hof (spelling) of U of Montana who thinks the story by Woodward
is probably a cover story for the real story, and that is his take
on the issue. Debra Davis, a young Jewish woman who wrote a very interesting
biography of Katherine Graham that got shelved by the publisher, in
her book a person named Richard Ober, Angleton's CIA liason inside
the White House, may have been a key figure who passed information
on to Woodward and Bernstein. Woodward and Bernstein in book describe
Deep Throat as a guy who showed years into smoking and drinking Scotch
and familiar with the world of poetry. Felts quit smoking in the 1950's,
20 years before. MCP does not know what he drank, and no evidence
he read anything other than the FBI manual. On the other hand Angleton
was a notorious chain smoker, a notorious drinker of Scotch, and Angleton
was very much into poetry, and curiously into Ezra Pound. Angleton
was the Mossad liason with the CIA. Ober was a key source, taking
it to Angleton, who then probably took it to Woodward. Davis said
that Ober was in charge of the Mossad counterintelligence desk inside
the White House. She mentioned that scary word "Mossad"
and no one wanted to touch the story. But MCP does not believe the
Felts story very much. Al Haig later complained that he thought Nixon
was deliberately delaying in giving support to Israel during the Yom
Kipper War, so a lot of reasons why powers that be want him out of
office. Nixon was his own worst enemy in many ways. MCP is convinced
E Howard Hunt deliberately bungled the Watergate burglery, and E.
Howard Hunt has suggested this. Evidence that Hunt worked for Angleton,
so this much deeper than often thought.
