“You remember Huston’s plan? Implement it. I want it implemented on a thievery basis. Goddamn it, get in and get those files. Blow the safe and get it.” – Richard Nixon


Why, some may ask, am I so focused upon the public get access to the Epstein Pedo files? Because without them, a criminal president and his supporters can create myths …. such as the lie that Nixon was unaware of break-ins, and only guilty of participating in the cover-up. The above quote came from a June, 1971 White House tape which was first made public by the Washington Post and Newsweek in 1997.

What was Nixon after? Documents. He thought the Brookings Institute – a Washington think tank – had records regarding his activities during the 1968 presidential election. Why did the “plumbers” break into Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist Lewis Fielding's office? What were the “plumbers” looking for in the Chilean embassy and the Watergate for? Nixon believed that Castro had sent Senator Ted Kennedy and others documents on attacks on him when Nixon was VP.

What is Nixon best remember as trying to hide the White House tapes. …...


I had gotten this far in an essay to remind people that a desperate president will resort to blowing things up to cover their criminal behaviors. While doing so, I saw that the criminal leaders of the U.S. and Israel were conducting a criminal attack on Iran. What could possibly go wrong?

I would not want to live in Iran. I like the concept of a wall between state and religion. That includes a “build that wall” in the context of the christian nationalists in our country. I remember Malcolm X paraphrasing Matthew 6:5, “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in synagogues and on street corners to be seen by others.” I'm not fond of bitter old men who think they speak for god when they tell females how to dress, or send males off to war.

I remember in the early 1980s, when in an interview the late Dick Gregory said that the United States had difficulties with Iran and the Muslim world because it hadn't come to understand Malcolm X. Current polls document that the majority of American citizens were opposed to the U.S. starting a war with Iran. But here we are.

I was talking with my daughter who lives in Europe. I said that I favor something that Yoko One said in 1972, after the release of the “Some Time in New York City” double-LP. Reporters questioned her about the picture of Nixon and Mao dancing naked on the cover. Yoko said she advocated that when world leaders meet, they do so in public, naked.

The release of the Epstein Pedo Files is stripping the felon of his garments. We must continue to fight on every front.
