Nixon Threatened CIA to Reveal Role in Kennedy Assassination: Gerald Ford’s Blatant Role
An incredible long-overlooked tape from the time of Nixon's Watergate shows Richard Nixon warning CIA Director Richard Helms that he knows about the CIA's involvement in the assassination of John F. Kennedy: “I know who shot John ”. In addition, Nixon tried to get all related documents handed over in order to blackmail the intelligence agency.
This shocking new tape shows Nixon under increasing pressure from Watergate, but unaware that at least four of the Watergate burglars were still on the CIA payroll at the time of the raid, and that the CIA had therefore infiltrated the burglary team. Recently declassified documents reveal that Watergate Special Prosecutor Nick Akerman knew of foreknowledge and CIA involvement in the break-in, but said and did nothing against the agency.
Senator Howard Baker, Republican leader of the Senate Watergate Committee, and his adviser Fred Thompson, future United States Senator from Tennessee, like Baker, found themselves discovering the CIA's cognitive and organizational involvement in the Watergate raid and, ultimately, it forced Nixon's resignation. Both Baker and Thompson knew that at least four of the Watergate burglars were on the CIA payroll at the time of the break-in and that, through CREEP security director James McCord, they had infiltrated the burglary team. The chairman of the Senate Watergate Committee, Sam Ervin, steadfastly refused to allow Baker and Republicans on the committee, including Florida's Edward J. Gurney, the right to issue a Minority Report carrying this astonishing information about the CIA.
Nixon deeply distrusted the CIA because he knew that President Eisenhower had ordered the agency to give top secret information to both Nixon and Kennedy after both had been nominated by their respective parties. Nixon was incensed that Kennedy had used this information in their debates, attacking Nixon for being “soft” on communist Cuba, knowing full well that Nixon had chaired a working group as Vice President overseeing preparations for the invasion of “ Bay of Pigs". Nixon, of course, could not reveal the details of this impending attempt to overthrow Castro.
White House domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman wrote that when he served as White House legal adviser, Nixon ordered him to ask the CIA to turn over all documents relating to the assassination of John Kennedy. Nixon was furious when Richard Helms, director of the CIA, refused a presidential order to hand them over.
This startling new Watergate-era tape shows an increasingly beleaguered Nixon desperately trying to rally the CIA to his defense by threatening to reveal their greatest secrets. Nixon also knew that Congressman Gerald Ford, as a member of the Warren Commission, on the explicit indication of J. Edgar Hoover, the director of the FBI, had altered the official diagram of the autopsy of President John F. Kennedy, moving the sign from a bullet in the upper back to the neck, to accommodate the single bullet theory and hide the fact that Kennedy had been hit by more than the officially recognized three shots.
Nixon was acutely aware of Ford's treasonous act of concealing the truth about Kennedy's assassination and the CIA's involvement in it. White House Chief of Staff General Alexander Haig said that "Nixon had Ford by the balls." The five-star general said, "Nixon had me tell Ford that if he (Nixon) went down, he was going to take everyone with him."
The reality was very different: Nixon's threats did NOT go through and the CIA abandoned him, if not even played an active role in his decommissioning. In the end Nixon was forced to resign by the scandal just after his election and was succeeded by the very Gerald Ford who had played an active role in confusing the evidence on the Kennedy assassination. If not even Trump has had the courage to make all the documents public, there will certainly be something not reprehensible.
