Flashback: Watergate, Nazis, Nixon, Rockefeller

Flashback: Watergate, Nazis, Nixon, Rockefeller

by Jon Rappoport

May 15, 2013

Watergate eventually became the story of two young rookie reporters who exposed and took down a president.

Try to think of another major story in your lifetime where the reporters themselves took center stage, and in the process nearly eclipsed their own work. Odd.

One of them, Bob Woodward, expanded his fame. The powers-that-be permitted him to go on and, with extraordinary access, write books criticizing future presidents. Woodward became the in-house attack dog. Mr. Limited Hangout.

The other reporter, Carl Bernstein, faded into relative obscurity. Well, he began connecting journalists to the CIA. That wasn’t a smart career move. That was, perhaps, a case of biting the hand that had fed him.


To learn why Richard Nixon was really blown out of the White House, you could begin with the infamous Nazi chemical/pharmaceutical cartel, IG Farben. The cartel that pushed Hitler over the top into power in Germany.

One of its lasting legacies is the multinational corporation ballooning out into titanic proportions. Farben didn’t just buy smaller companies, it forged favorable agreements with huge corporations all over the world: Standard Oil (Rockefeller); Rhone-Poulenc; Imperial Chemical Industries; Du Pont; Dow.

During World War 2, Josiah Du Bois, representing the US federal government, was sent on a fact-finding mission to Guatemala. His comment: “As far as I can tell the country is a wholly owned subsidiary of Farben.”

What Farben stood for was an attempt to remake the planet in terms of power.

Farben held important cards. It employed brilliant chemists who, in some ways, were far ahead of its competitors. Farben was all about synthetics. Rubber, oil, dyes, pharmaceuticals.

Farben saw itself as a modern version of the old alchemists. Transforming one substance into another. It came to believe that, with enough time, it would be able to make anything from anything. It envisioned labs in which basic chemical facts would be changed so that, in practice, elements and compounds would be virtually interchangeable.

This was in line with the Nazi obsession to discover the lost secrets of the mythical Aryan race and then reconstitute it with selective breeding, genetic engineering, and of course the mass murder of “lesser peoples.”

On one level, there was the idea of chemical transformations, and on another level, the transformation of the human species.

It was really all one piece. The Nazi ideology was the glue.

It was the picture of scientism—the philosophy that asserts science should absolutely rule all facets of life. Nazi Germany showed the world what that philosophy looks like in practice. Farben had prisoners shipped from Auschwitz to its nearby facility, where horrendous medical/pharmaceutical experiments were carried out on them.

At the end of World War 2, the Farben executives were put on trial and, despite the efforts of Telford Taylor, the chief US prosecutor, the sentences handed out were light.

There was a reason for this. A new world was coming into being, and mega-corporations and cartels were at the heart of it. They would be the engines driving the global economy and pillaging the natural resources of the planet. It was colonialism with a different face, the East India company running on technology and industry and a planetary reach beyond anything ever attempted.

So the Farben moguls, and those like them, were seen by many as designers of the new “peace.”

Consider the total volume of international trade of goods today—the largest 300 corporations in the world are responsible for an unbelievable percentage of it…as high as 25%.

So now you see the reason why these treaties like GATT and NAFTA and CAFTA have been launched. Mega-corporations want to roam free. They want to be able to inject money into any entity in the world and suddenly remove it at will. They certainly want to be able to ship goods from one nation to another without paying tariffs, which otherwise would cost them an extraordinary amount of money. For these corporations, nations don’t really exist anymore—they are convenient fictions. These corporations don’t want any restrictions on their plundering of the Global Village.

Farben envisioned and planned for this kind of licentious freedom. It saw itself as more than a German cartel. It was already international, and it was moving toward domination.

However, more powerful forces would overtake it—and I’m not just talking about American soldiers. In the sphere of international influence, there are the Plan A and Plan B people. The Plan A controllers (think Rockefeller dynasty, among others) opted for a “softer, gentler” approach, a more covert program, whereby, over a long period of time, the world population would be brought under a global management system, in which mega-corporations would play the central role. The Plan B people, Nazis and their allied interests, wanted crushing force and violence to achieve a somewhat similar goal in a much shorter period of time—with Germany as the leading prow of the movement.

It is in the arena of pharmaceutical domination that one of Farben’s goals has endured. Two of its original components, Bayer and Hoechst, have survived and prospered. And many other drug companies have copied the basic model.

For a number of years, I’ve researched and published on this subject. Death, maiming, destruction, poisoning—these are correct assessments of the overall effects of drug-based medicine. Judging solely by these effects, one could say that war by other means has continued after 1945. And the fronts of devastation have spread.


On the mega-corporate front, the plan for world control remains the Rockefeller template. “Free trade.” This plan was advanced, ceaselessly, for 40 years until, on January 1, 1995, the World Trade Organization was fully formed and took charge of the criminal rules of global commerce: the crowning moment.

However, back in the early 1970s, the whole operation had almost been derailed. One man, a crook, a president, a liar, an insecure parody of a head of state, Richard Nixon, went off script. He REALLY went off script.

In an effort to bolster US companies and protect them from foreign competition inside the United States, Nixon began erecting tariffs on a range of goods imported into the US.

In an effort to bolster US companies and protect them from foreign competition inside the United States, Nixon (on Aug 15, 1971) began erecting tariffs on a range of goods imported into the US (and took American money off the gold standard).

If this Nixon economic plan spread to other countries, the entire global program to install “free trade” and mega-corporate emperors on their thrones for a thousand years could crash and burn.

Nixon was a Rockefeller man. He was owned by them. He’d been rescued from financial ruin by The Family, and now he was in the White House undermining their greatest dream. You can’t overstate the degree of the betrayal, from the Rockefeller point of view. You simply can’t.

Something had to be done. The president had to go. This was the real motivation behind Watergate. This was the real op. Yes, there were sub-motives and smaller contexts, as in any major op, but the prime mover was: get Free Trade back on track, and get suitable revenge on the puppet in the White House who went off the script.

Any historian who overlooks this is an outright fool or a deceiver.

Whether the Watergate break-in was planned to serve the higher goal or was pounced upon, after the fact, as the grand opportunity, is beside the point. It was there, and it was used. It became the starting point for the Washington Post, its publisher, veteran editor, and two cub reporters to break Richard Nixon into pieces.

And if the Rockefeller people needed an inside man to report on the deteriorating mental state of the president as he heated up in the pressure cooker, they had Henry Kissinger, who was another Rockefeller operative.

The Washington Post was owned by Katharine Graham, who was herself a very close friend of the Rockefeller Family. Years later, she would be awarded a medal of honor by the University of Chicago, a an institution founded by John D. Rockefeller. On her death, a paid heartfelt obituary was inserted in the NY Times by the trustees, faculty, and staff of Rockefeller University, where she had served on the University Council.

And she and Nixon already hated each other by the early 1970s.

The managing editor of the Washington Post, Ben Bradlee, was an old hand at writing promotional material, having worked in Europe crafting releases for a CIA front group. A former Naval intelligence man, he liked one of his cub reporters, Bob Woodward, who had also worked for the Navy in intelligence.

When Woodward came to Bradlee with a story about a man in a parking garage who was passing secrets from the White House/FBI about Watergate, we are supposed to believe that Bradlee naturally responded by giving the green light to a major investigation. Woodward and Carl Bernstein, another cub, would undertake it—with nothing more than Bradlee’s reputation and the future survival of the Post and Katharine Graham’s empire on the line if the cubs got it wrong.

We are supposed to believe Bradlee gave the green light, without knowing who the man in the garage was, without knowing whether Woodward could be trusted, without even getting permission from Graham to move ahead.

Bradlee, a grizzled veteran of Washington, understanding exactly what Washington could do to people who told secrets out of school, just said to Woodward and Bernstein, “You’d better be damned sure you’re right, because otherwise we’re all in trouble.”

Two untested cub reporters set loose in a cage with tigers.

The odds of that happening were nil. Bradlee had to know a great deal from the beginning, and he had to have Katharine Graham’s signal to move. The series of breaking stories would be spoon-fed to the unsuspecting young reporters. They would be consumed by their ambition to advance their careers. Bradlee was confident because he had the essentials of the scandal in hand—all the way up to Nixon, the target—well in advance of his two reporters.

To have proceeded otherwise—Bradlee was simply not that kind of fool. Whatever Deep Throat, the man in the garage, was dishing out to Woodward didn’t really matter. Bradlee already had it in his pocket. Deep Throat was merely a contrivance to allow the story to expand and grow by steps, and to permit Woodward and Bernstein to believe they were peeling layers from an onion.

The man behind the curtain was David Rockefeller.

After the whole scandal had been exposed and Nixon had flown away, in disgrace, from the White House for the last time, Rockefeller addressed a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce of the European Community (October, 1975). He was there to allay their fears about Nixon’s betrayal of the new economic world order. There was really very little he needed to say. David had already created (1973) the free-trade Trilateral Commission. And a new puppet, Gerald Ford was in the White House, and Ford had appointed David’s brother, Nelson Rockefeller, as his vice president.

David told the European attendees, “Fortunately, there are no signs that these anti-[free] trade measures [of Nixon] are supported by the [Ford] Administration.”

And that was that. The global mega-corporate colossus was back on track.

The temporary rip in the Matrix had been repaired.


The Matrix Revealed


On a far lower level of power politics, everyone and his brother was consumed with the contrails of the scandal that had driven away Nixon and his colleagues. People were congratulating each other on the expunging of a corrupt conspiracy from public life.

The real players, of course, were still in place, more powerful than ever. David Rockefeller and his aides were preparing for an even greater coup. They had chosen an obscure man with zero name recognition to be the next president of the United States. Jimmy Carter. Carter would function to forward the goals of the Trilateral Commission in bold view of anyone who knew the score.

And every president since Carter, regardless of party affiliation, has supported and extended those Globalist-corporate goals. No questions asked. Obama, who fatuously remarked during his 2008 election campaign that NAFTA “needs to be revisited,” has taken his cues like any other puppet.

When, from this perspective, you examine the global takeover of land and resources by GMO agribusiness, the destruction of small family farms, the plundering of natural resources in the Third World, the use of UN “peacekeepers” and “humanitarian groups” and intelligence agencies to create a wedge, for corporations, into these areas, you see the hand of the Rockefeller plan.

When you see the destruction of currencies and the escalation of insupportable debt, the incursion of a bewildering number of UN-affiliated groups sinking their teeth into local communities all over the planet to “manage sustainable development,” you see the plan.


On the approaching anniversary of Watergate, you can see that the trashing of Nixon, who like every president since, was put in place to serve his masters, is an opportunity to notice the Plan Behind the Curtain.

Obama? Merely the latest willing front man. A third-rate hustler.

The innocuous-sounding “free trade” policy is the number-one priority of every American president. He must do two things: rarely speak of it, and allow it to move forward. That’s all. In return, he gets to act as if he’s the most powerful man in the world.

But if he wobbles and considers taking up a position against free trade (corporate domination of the planet), he can look back and see what happened to Richard Nixon. He can learn from that example.

He can recite the famous words of Zbiggie Brzezinski, co-founder of the Trilateral Commission and David Rockefeller’s intellectual flunkey: “The nation state as a fundamental unit of man’s organized life has ceased to be the principal creative force: International banks and multinational corporations are acting and planning in terms that are far in advance of the political concepts of the nation-state.”

Like Jimmy Carter, a future president can espouse the most wide-ranging humanitarian philosophy and ascend to a cloud of beautiful altrusim, admired by all. As long as he sticks to the plan.

If not, two reporters coming out of nowhere, wet behind the ears, eager for advancement, will magically learn of his missteps and demolish him.

    Oliver Stone should read this and redo his Nixon movie with everything he left out.

  2. You seem to conflate medieval alchemy with more recent phenomena of the 19th century industrial revolution in which the newly arising nations competed for colonies. I doubt that the Aryan superiority myths are much older than the 19th century, social Darwinism and skull collections. The Enlightenment at most, but very vague in those days and more about European man confronting “savages”.

    I quite disagree with your analysis that the fight for global hegemony was based on crackpot German notions of their superiority. Spanish and English, French and Dutch, all believed themselves to deserve the colonies they founded. Germans were Johannes-come-lately, and their little Reich didn’t last very long. They didn’t even have a real nation-state until well into the modern period.

    But is it about resources and hegemony today? Is that what globalization is about? Of course.

    Is Obama a cheap little opportunist? Well, he is normally a glib speaker, but lately, he seems to have gotten over a barrel with all these scandals and some Wag the Dog scenarios (oh yes).

    He seems to drag his feet about bombing Iran, too.
    Do you think he’ll be brought to heel in time?

    Woodward’s career as ONI / CIA is pretty well documented now, despite various denials.

    Bernstein was the real hero, hence is unpersoning in the years since.

  4. Wendy Eames says:

    It’s refreshing to know the Rockefeller’s, Bush’s, Kissinger, World banking families etc., will all live in the pits of hell where they belong for eternity!!!! To bad they’re so stupid and greedy they chose to be on the loser team, and Satan is laughing behind their backs.!!!!

  5. Rabbitnexus says:

    Very interesting John. I’d become increasingly confused by the Nixon affair as the true nature of global and especially US politics has become clearer to me over time. Now it makes lots of sense, In the way some of Kennedy’s last actions gave his assasination context once learned. It doens’t do to piss off these people even if you’ve risen as high as any servant is able within the system. Makes you wonder why they do it in the end? go against the grain that is. Since they must know which side their bread is buttered on by the time they reach the Tainted House why would they bite the hand which feeds them, or were these just early examples for the rest to learn by? Not being real smart monkeys they needed to touch the wire a few times to get the idea it is electrified.

  6. DC FATTBOY says:

    Concise and accurate summation. You can be president as long as you don’t actually try to run the country. Bush-Lite was smart to scoot over and let Cheney run the country. If the current idiot in the WH gets off his bombastic “BuggsySiegel” complex in time and obediently finishes out his term he too will retire to the obligatory and perfunctory percs: the inevitable book deal to immediately line the pockets; the senior analyst and fellow at one of the plethora of DC think tanks; and the ever expanding skim from the flood of funds into your presidential library.

  7. P.M.Lawrence says:

    You write “After the whole scandal had been exposed and Nixon had flown away, in disgrace, from the White House for the last time, Rockefeller addressed a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce of the European Community (October, 1975)”.

    No; the European Community did not come into existence until 1993. You must be thinking of one of its predecessor organisations.

    Ed. note:

    re: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Economic_Community

    The European Economic Community (EEC) was an international organization created by the Treaty of Rome of 1957. Its aim was to bring about economic integration, including a common market, among its six founding members: Belgium, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and West Germany. The EEC was also known as the Common Market in the English-speaking world and sometimes referred to as the European Community even before it was officially renamed as such in 1993.

    This is exactly why I believe an organized mass boycott of the polls is the only to take back this country short of armed revolution. We saw Ron Paul’s popularity in the polls, yet because he was not on the approved candidate list he was completely ignored by the media. In the end I think we are doomed because Americans are too apathetic to do anything–even not vote in an organized manner.

  9. Denni says:

    Hello Jon,
    Most excellent article: easily one of the best I’ve read in years. You have finally clarified for me the Watergate affair which never made any sense to me on any level.

    That said, I am still unclear on what exactly Free Trade entails. I am for the free market in all things and that means to me: voluntary interaction among all humans all the time. There must be something about Free Trade as used by the powers-that-be that is not consistent with voluntary interaction all the time. It would be wonderful if you could write an article about what Free Trade means to those who are so hell-bent on bringing their version of Free Trade to the world. The only dynamic I can see in it is their attempt to cut off tariff revenue to the individual states and thereby weaken them and give themselves more money with which to do their “work.”. But tariff revenue was long ago greatly surpassed by income tax and all the rest, at least in the United States so that cannot be the objective.

    What can you say about what Free Trade really means?

  10. Steve says:

    On the grander scheme of things this stuff is in the realm of the activity of satan. Over all though that we must remember that God is The Great Conspirator and satan is His devil.

  11. I’m with you on everything in this well written article, except your premise that Rockefellers were shaken by Nixon taking US Dollar off of Gold Standard [collapse of Bretton Woods].

    Collapsing last remaining vestiges of sound money and bringing US population under funny fiat money out of thin air WAS the Rockefeller plan. After this major goal was achieved, Nixon was of no use to Rockefellers [and Rothschilds]. He would become a liability. Everything needed to be done to distract people’s attention from this seminal decision & reinstatement of Federal Reserve central banking as supreme rulers of the planet. Nixon had to go.

    Nixon did not erect tariffs to “protect” American companies. He was told to start erecting tariffs, to set the stage for destruction of Bretton Woods partial gold standard. Setting of these tariffs was not something of an alarm to Rockefellers, it was part of their design to begin with. Short term impact or protection of American companies was inconsequential as part of the bigger fiat dollar goal.

  12. Anonymous says:

    As I understood it, Nixon was taken down because he actually tried to prosecute a real “War on Drugs.” This theory may have come from LaRouche’s “Dope, Inc.” Your theory adds import to the idea that Nixon didn’t follow the script! Deviating from the script does seem to have figured in his downfall.

  13. “For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, neither anything secret that will not be known.” ~Luke 12:2

  14. Lloyd Miller says:

    Naw, the Rothschilds acted to limit Rockefeller power through the destruction of Nixon. The Rockefellers are pro: OPEC/Saudis/Islam just like they were pro-Kaiser/Hitler to oppose the remnant British Empire controlled by the Royal Family’s favorite bankers, the Rothschilds. Again, the Rockefellers are about to be limited by the destruction of their “Boy” in the Whitehouse! This time, the Rothschilds at the Washington Post will have to risk the “racist” label to bring down Rockefeller’s President!

  15. Kent D. Murphy says:

    Concerning the Watergate break-in, your analysis that events were much bigger than the common observer might think cooresponds with something I heard several decades ago when I drank in a bar in
    Bethesda, Maryland, and used to enjoy a chat and a laugh with a detective and former CIA operative in Vietnam, who swore up and down that Larry O’Brien had organized the break-in, and he believed it was a set-up because of the overly amateurish even that triggered the arrests that night.

    This operative told me something that I had never heard before, which is that the security guard at the Watergate, whose job it was to rattle doorknobs to make sure they were locked, discovered an unlocked door with tape on it to prevent it locking, and he simply removed the tape, locked the door, and continued on his rounds, and the alarm was only raised when he returned to the same doorknob sometime later and discovered that the tape had been replaced. This could not be ignored, and my drinking companion knew that such amateurishness wasn’t real, and it was an obvious attempt to make sure the break-in was discovered. My drinking companion, being a hater of the Democratic Party, obviously blamed Larry O’Brien, who at that time was the Chairman of the DNC.

    E. Howard Hunt’s role in the break-in, and his alleged role in the JFK assassination, points not to Larry O’Brien, but people much higher.

    I’ve never heard the re-taping story anywhere else, and I can verify it, but it fits into your narrative perfectly.

    Ok, got it! Billy Pilgrim, Kilgore Trout, Winston Rumsfoord, et. al., all attest to the fact that the Tralfalmadorians are interfering with Earthlings.
    What I don’t get is this:
    It was a collective , cosmic effort to introduce Mr. Nixon to the chronosynclastic infundibula thingy now called THE MATRIX, and now a darkened CHRONO boy appears…back from Kenya.er..Titan…and brings his blue birds with him to say, “To Hell with the USA.”???
    I think I want back on board the ship.
    Pilgrim, get your unstuck butt in gear!
    Trout, you are a lousy, unworthy writer. Rumsfoord, your ruse failed. We are outta here!
