Fascinating and new to me Jan.
Allow me to add some additional intriguing aspects that might be of interest.
Why Nixon? Well, one answer may be that Nixon is said to have had control of the so called “M Fund”, the vast sums of gold and other treasure plundered by the Japanese during WWII and which later came together under General MacArthur’s post war government in Tokyo and which was managed by MacArtur’s assistant, General Marquat (hence “M” fund).
It is further sad that an arrangement was reached by Nixon to keep the Chinese out of Southeast Asia for a period of 50 years - at least in terms of fighting troops - in exchange for a large payment of gold - quite possibly gold plundered from China by Japan during the Manchukuo campaign.
Is this true? I don’t know, but I was told this story by Bob Curtis.
According to Stering Seagrave, Nixon later turned over control of the M fund to the Japanese ruling political party in exchange for a promise that money from the fund would later be used to get him elected president.
Is this true? I don’t know but Seagrave states it as fact in one of his books. I personally doubt it would’ve been this simple. Turning over management of the fund under a strict understanding maybe, but not turning over control of the entire fund.
In this regard the story of Norbett Schlei that I am linking below is well worth reading. Schlei was an Assistant Attorney General during the Kennedy Administration.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
