Watergate
Sir: In his article on the Watergate affair, 'Nixon — America's Charles I?', Hugh Trevor-Roper writes, "The world in general is more interested in American foreign policy than in the American constitution, and many people prefer the foreign policy of President Nixon to that of his predecessors." Rose L. Martin, in her book The Selling of America, expresses amazement that anyone should ever be so naive as to question that the Council on Foreign Relations (the American counterpart of the Royal Institute of International Affairs) is the de facto, US government so far as foreign affairs are concerned. Dr Medford Evans, reviewing this book, writes, " But what, really, is the Council on Foreign Relations? It is an institutionalised coalition of New York banks, Ivy League universities, and the major tax-exempt foundations. All these are precisely the most conspicuous institutional products, and undoubtedly the chief beneficiaries, of historic capitalism . . . these capitalists work in concert with the socialist camp to bring about a kind of unified world which can only be dominated by Communist-style terror police . . ." Elsewhere, Dr Evans writes ('The Taming of the President'—Review of the News, May 30, 1973), "The purpose of Watergate, I submit was to tame and harness completely the President of the United States. The U.S. President is automatically and simultaneously the greatest hindrance and the greatest help imaginable to World Government conspirators. If he does their will, he is their greatest help; if he keeps his oath of office to uphold the Constitution, he is their greatest obstacle."
Medford Evans says that Watergate is not politics; it is war — but not a war between Democrats and Republicans. A bipartisan conspiracy, under cover of party politics, wages war for the subjugation of the United States to the New World Order. "The Nixon gang is bad . . . but is no worse than the Washington Post gang., and apparently less powerful. The danger of the Watergate exposé now going on . . . is that too many Americans will believe that Haldeman, Erlichman, Mitchell, Stans — perhaps even Nixon himself — are the conspiracy. They are obviously involved in it, but so are their most implacable adversaries.. Mercutio's lines serve in this instance: A plague on both their houses!" Basil L.
