Mark Felt and his handlers destroyed a peace-maker and left Southeast Asia in totalitarian hands.
Re: The "news" that former FBI agent Mark Felt broke the law,
broke his code of ethics, broke his oath and was the main source
for Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward's articles that helped depose
Richard Nixon, a few thoughts.
Can anyone even remember now what Nixon did that was so
terrible? He ended the war in Vietnam, brought home the POW's,
ended the war in the Mideast, opened relations with China, started
the first nuclear weapons reduction treaty, saved Eretz Israel's
life, started the Environmental Protection Administration. Does
anyone remember what he did that was bad?
Oh, now I remember. He lied. He was a politician who lied. How
remarkable. He lied to protect his subordinates who were covering
up a ridiculous burglary that no one to this date has any clue
about its purpose. He lied so he could stay in office and keep his
agenda of peace going. That was his crime. He was a peacemaker and
he wanted to make a world where there was a generation of peace.
And he succeeded.
That is his legacy. He was a peacemaker. He was a lying,
conniving, covering up peacemaker. He was not a lying, conniving
drug addict like JFK, a lying, conniving war starter like LBJ, a
lying, conniving seducer like Clinton -- a lying, conniving
peacemaker. That is Nixon's kharma.
When his enemies brought him down, and they had been laying for
him since he proved that Alger Hiss was a traitor, since Alger Hiss
was their fair-haired boy, this is what they bought for themselves
in the Kharma Supermarket that is life:
1.) The defeat of the South Vietnamese government with decades
of death and hardship for the people of Vietnam.
2.) The assumption of power in Cambodia by the bloodiest
government of all time, the Khmer Rouge, who killed a third of
their own people, often by making children beat their own parents
to death. No one doubts RN would never have let this happen.
So, this is the great boast of the enemies of Richard Nixon,
including Mark Felt: they made the conditions necessary for the
Cambodian genocide. If there is such a thing as kharma, if there is
such a thing as justice in this life of the next, Mark Felt has
bought himself the worst future of any man on this earth. And Bob
Woodward is right behind him, with Ben Bradlee bringing up the
rear. Out of their smug arrogance and contempt, they hatched the
worst nightmare imaginable: genocide. I hope they are happy now --
because their future looks pretty bleak to me.
