Memo Shows Nixon White House Plotted Violence

Watergate prosecutors had evidence that operatives for then-President Richard Nixon planned an assault on anti-war demonstrators in 1972, including potentially physically attacking Vietnam whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg,” according to a never-before-published memo obtained by NBC News.

“The document, an 18-page 1973 investigative memorandum from the Watergate Special Prosecution Force, sheds new light on how prosecutors were investigating attempts at domestic political violence by Nixon aides, an extremely serious charge… A plot to physically attack Ellsberg is notable because the former Pentagon official has long alleged that Nixon operatives did more than steal his medical files, the most well-known effort to discredit him.”

This is someone who colluded with narcos to flood Oakland, and other areas with significant Black panther activity, with heroin in order to both undermine said groups, as well as to discredit civil rights (and, arguably, African-Americans themselves).

This stunt would have been VERY small potatoes to him and the Nazis around him (Erlichmann, especially).
