Lifton attacks Fetzer over 9/11 and Israeli Complicity

[James Lewis]

Oh yes...and it should also be noted that in his book The Ends Of Power, H. R. Haldeman, Nixon's chief of staff, solved a riddle that I have seen discussed by several researchers having to do with Watergate...the "Bay Of Pigs" references on the Watergate tapes. In the beginning of one of the chapters (I can't remember which offhand), he says that "Bay Of Pigs" was a code for the assassination, which makes a lot of sense when you hear the references to Richard Helms on the tapes. Nixon suggests that Helms be told that if the "Bay Of Pigs" is blown, it would be very bad for Helms. When you replace "Bay Of Pigs" with "Kennedy Assassination", it immediately becomes apparent what Nixon is doing...he is threatening Helms with exposure of his role in the assassination. Now...how would Nixon know enough to use the assassination to threaten Helms with exposure if he doesn't go along with the Watergate cover-up...unless Nixon knew of and actually participated in the assassination plans at a high level ? That would be the only way he would have leverage over Helms that I can think of. And also remember...E. Howard Hunt demamded and was paid $2 million to keep his mouth shut about the Bay Of Pigs/assassination...and that was a DAMN lot of money in 1972.
