The current president is pushing the country closer to fascism than even the man who was behind Watergate

ed note–for those who still haven’t done the very simple math on this, if you don’t ‘get it’ by now, you probably never will.

But here’s a REALLY BIG clue for you–

They don’t throw out words like ‘fascist’ to those whom they brought to power and are sustaining.

NY Times

When President Richard Nixon decided in late October 1973 to force out the attorney general and replace him with someone who would fire the special prosecutor haunting his life, he went through the chain of command until he got to the third person in line, the solicitor general, who did the deed. Now here we are again, with another president wanting to be rid of an investigation by a special counsel that threatens his presidency.

But rather than follow the regular order, as Nixon had, President Trump selected as acting attorney general a lackey who had been chosen as chief of staff to the attorney general because of his TV appearances as a private citizen in which he echoed the president’s position on the special counsel’s investigation into Russia’s role in the 2016 election. Among other things, he’d parroted Mr. Trump’s obsessive line, “There was no collusion.” It has been broadly assumed that this man would, one way or another, end the special counsel’s investigation.

Whether, as some legal scholars argue, Mr. Trump’s choice was unconstitutional, since the new acting attorney general has never been confirmed by the Senate, or was simply unwise since his choice was blatantly self-serving, the differences in the ways the two presidents have approached getting rid of an inconvenient prosecutor are informed by their different backgrounds.

Nixon, a lawyer who had been a member of the House of Representatives, a senator and a vice president, was more accepting of the political order. Mr. Trump, with no government experience, and little knowledge of how the federal government works, has been a free if malevolent spirit, less likely than even Nixon to observe boundaries.

As president, Nixon tried to bend the constitutional and political systems to his will. He interfered in the Democratic Party’s process for picking his future opponent. And he challenged the separation of powers — setting off the constitutional crisis that Watergate was. But as far as Nixon moved toward fascism, Mr. Trump has been going further.

This isn’t to suggest that Nixon was a sweetheart, or meek in his efforts to save himself. But his background as a creature of the establishment inhibited his actions.

One systemic and critical difference between Nixon’s situation and Mr. Trump’s is that Nixon faced a Democratic Congress, while Mr. Trump has enjoyed a completely Republican-controlled one. (That changes when the Democrats take control of the House in January.) Under Mr. Trump there has been more reluctance to allow top figures to testify before congressional committees than there was under Nixon.

Each president tried to stir up public impatience with his perceived persecution and thus pressure investigators to hurry up, but Mr. Trump makes Nixon look like a pussycat.

Nixon officials were prone to saying things like, “Enough wallowing in Watergate,” while, for example, in early August, Mr. Trump tweeted, “This is a terrible situation and Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this Rigged Witch Hunt right now.” Mr. Trump has done much more than Nixon did in trying to damage public trust in whatever their prosecutors might come up with.

Mr. Trump’s allies among Republican leaders of House investigatory committees have sought to undermine the jobs of not just the special counsel but also key figures in the Justice Department and the F.B.I. Such goings-on didn’t happen in Watergate.

Mr. Trump has other structural advantages over Nixon. Nixon’s base nearly melted away in the face of evidence of his guilt in a cover-up. Mr. Trump’s base has yet to be so tested, but it’s larger and more cohesive than Nixon’s. And Nixon had nothing remotely like the propaganda organ that Mr. Trump has in Fox News. (There was no cable TV in Nixon’s time.)

Though both men have shown hatred of the press, Mr. Trump has gone much further by encouraging violence against it. And, as far as we know, Mr. Trump has been less prone than Nixon to using levers of the bureaucracy to punish his perceived “enemies,” but he may be catching up. For example he appears to have moved to raise postal rates to hurt Amazon, whose owner, Jeff Bezos, also owns The Washington Post.

The big question is whether there will turn out to be a major difference between the two men when it comes to honoring the decisions of the law, or of the public. Nixon shied from challenging John F. Kennedy’s narrow electoral victory in 1960 not out of magnanimity but because he concluded he couldn’t make the charge of fraud stick. Mr. Trump, as we’re seeing, needs no evidence before charging election fraud.

When the Supreme Court ordered Nixon to turn over the White House tapes, he obeyed. And after Republican elders went to the White House to tell him that he lacked the political support to survive as president, Nixon yielded to their implication that he should leave office. Nearly impossible as it is to imagine a similar scene involving the current president and his pusillanimous party, Mr. Trump has given us reason to wonder whether he would defer to legal findings against him or even to a re-election loss in 2020 — if, that is, he’s still in office then.

  1. Mr. Trump has other structural advantages over Nixon. Nixon’s base nearly melted away in the face of evidence of his guilt in a cover-up. Mr. Trump’s base has yet to be so tested, but it’s larger and more cohesive than Nixon’s. And Nixon had nothing remotely like the propaganda organ that Mr. Trump has in Fox News. (There was no cable TV in Nixon’s time.)”
    At approximately 9:30 p.m. (Eastern time) on the night of the midterm elections, Fox News called the ‘election’ for the House of Reps FOR the Democrats. That means, Fox, the so-called “propaganda organ that Mr. Trump has” is guilty of voter suppression in the Western half of the country because those polls were not scheduled to close for another 2 1/2 hours, at 8 p.m. So much for being a “propaganda organ” for PRESIDENT Trump.
    “The big question is whether there will turn out to be a major difference between the two men when it comes to honoring the decisions of the law, or of the public.”
    So, as per usual, the Yews want “democracy” (mob rule) when it’s expedient for them and the “rule of law” when it isn’t expedient.
    “When the Supreme Court ordered Nixon to turn over the White House tapes, he obeyed.”
    Little did Pres. Nixon know that Kissinger made sure HE was never heard on those tapes. According to Gary Allen’s book on Kissinger, Kissinger is the one who was a key person to maneuver Nixon out of office and had been working for the Rockefeller cabal before he ever set foot in the U.S.
    So, the question for today is, who in President Trump’s circle ISN’T reporting back to Yewish HQ?
    Of course the YEWS are the ones pushing us closer to ‘fascism’/’communism’/rule of the Yews’ so this entire article is once again YEWISH PROJECTION.

  2. The reason no one reads your site anymore is because you hate America. All you care about is what Israel is doing to ragheads in the Middle East We don’t care if the jews kill everyone there we just want them out of here. Attacking Trump will get you no where fast. I think you are just another low IQ non white that needs to get the fuck out of my nation.
    ed note–we are asked from time to time why it is we maintain the low opinion that we do of the mean intelligence of the average white nationalist, and the comment above is a perfect example.
    If there has been any site within the alternative media that has been uncompromising in its (attempted at least) intelligent and responsible analysis of all the skullduggery and treason on the part of Jewish interests in destroying the Trump presidency, it has been this one, while others–mostly of the white-trash nationalist variety such as Stormer–have made sure to create as many problems for Trump as possible with their violent, overtly-racist rhetoric that the Jews have re-published and rehashed with measurable glee in trying to convict Trump of guilt by association. Had our unesteemed white-trash nationalist even bothered to read the article, he would have seen immediately based upon the ed note commentary that it was done to show the mechanism in place in trying to bring Trump’s presidency down.
    But then, no one should be surprised at stupid commentary such as this one when one considers the source. Of the hundreds I have personally known over the decades, in large part the average WTN has fit a common template with little to no variation–undereducated, underemployed, highly unintelligent, alcoholic, addicted to pornography, no wives, no children, bitter, angry, lashing out in all directions at anyone and everyone whom they blame for the fact that they occupy the lowest rung on society’s ‘happiness ladder’. They are mentally/spiritually weak and therefore seek the illusion of strength by ‘joining’ up in a gang of sorts, which is why they invariably idolize perceived strong men such as Hitler. They have no ideas of their own and–just as the recent event
    featuring the bloated idiot Robert Bowers shooting up the Sin-a-Gog and handing Trump’s enemies an early H’nooka present–they do not possess the minimum intelligence necessary in functioning in any kind of political activity that in the end does not wind up benefiting the very enemy against which they claim to be fighting. They are no different in essence than the hordes of angry blacks which the Jews utilize in furthering their narrative and their objectives and who think that they are actually working in their own interests when they congregate in mobs and engage in criminal riots when in fact, they are only digging themselves deeper into their own misery by such behavior.
    The silver lining to this? Obviously the fact that not having mates, they do not reproduce and therefore are a doomed ‘species’. Of course, the obvious downside is that we all must suffer their stupidity for as long as Jewish interests choose to keep them around, which probably means forever, given as valuable as they are in their starring roles as useful idiots in reading their lines and playing their parts perfectly in the great political drama on display in front of the entire world.

  3. ed note is correct–the idiots such as ‘James Scott’ are the white equivalent of the black panthers whom the Jews historically have used in creating and furthering their own agenda. The fact that he was too stupid to see that the piece involving Nixon appeared on this website in support of Trump indicates the low intelligence of the commentor.

  4. unless my eyes are failing me, this site has almost 6,000 subscribers and almost 20 million reads, so from where does the ‘no one reads this site’ from our resident white nationalist idiot hail? Furthermore, he has shown just how shallow his perspective is, not only in the fact that this site is clearly supportive of Trump but as well in the fact that our resident wn idiot obviously he reads it himself.

  5. forgot to add–other than Pat Buchanan, I have not found anyone who comes remotely close to dissecting with the same degree of accuracy all the political intrigue involving the Jews drive to remove the president as I have found here. Everyone else is just spitting out things they think makes them sound smart but which has the opposite effect and of those the worst have been the white nationists and alex jones.

  6. I would counsel the editor not to get too vexed over the obvious deficient commentary of whoever james scott is. Based upon my own experience in dealing with this group, indeed they are damaged goods and who suffer in large part from loneliness, alcoholism and yes, porn addiction. in fact, it is entirely possible that he totally missed the obvious support for trump in the editor’s commentary because he has been drinking.

  7. on second thought, kolo is probably right, but we can’t rule out the first possibility either, nor of both of these items playing equal roles

  8. #7 maggie is right, ignore our wanking white nationalist. this is one of the best sites on the net for correctly ‘doing the math’, borrowing a phrase that is used here often, in decoding what Judea is up to. in fact, the only other commentary I have read that comes close bears a suspicious similarity to things that have appeared here first which leads me to suspect that some ‘borrowing’ is taking place without attribution.
    The white wankers serve at the pleasure of Judea in furthering the zionist’s agenda of making all criticism of jewish power appear just as the wn narrative makes it appear these days–unintelligent, unintelligible and unhinged. Every time anglin or any of his fellow baboons open their mouths the adl’s coffers fill with cash and credibility and our movement and Trump suffer from it.

  9. I am betting Kolo is closer to the bullseye. I have been in discussions with wns over the years where they openly spoke about their sexual frustration, problems with porn and who blamed it all on ‘the darkies stealing all the white women’.
    Didn’t Daily Stormer advertise some sort of male masturbation device once that had Anne Frank’s face on it? I seem to remember something like that.

  10. I am betting on alcohol being the culprit, and while I do not deny the damaging effects of extended use of pornography on an otherwise healthy male mind, at the same time i is beyond dispute that this website has for the last 2 years published hundreds of articles in obvious defense of the President and therefore anyone making the charge that Trump is ‘attacked’ here obviously is suffering from cognitive deficiencies and therefore alcohol/drugs is the most likely reason.
