why do you think they wanted to get rid of Nixon, what did he do to make them mad? That says he may have been planning to expose the JFK murder, well he resigned, he could have exposed stuff but never did, it's not like they assassinated Nixon.

He didn't know enough to expose the JFK assassination, but he knew some and wanted to know more. When he asked about it, he called it the "Bay of Pigs". In https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Document:Fifty_Years_of_the_Deep_State#Nixon.E2.80.99s_Relationship_with_the_Cabal Mark Gorton says he was planning to expose The Cabal.

That just kind of blows my mind. Maybe it was a simpler, innocent time. Nixon got that far in politics though, and didn't realize that number 1 CIA and mob killed JFK, and number 2 opening up that can of worms would be dangerous for him? Did he have a crisis of conscience, well if so he went about it badly, got pressured to resign, never spoke on it again, was that hit to his legacy and losss of a job worth looking into JFK? Even JFK's brothers like Teddy knew to never question the narrative, maybe RFK did and is why he got shot but that would have been more of a sign to Nixon to stay the course and not rock the boat.

I think he was an ok guy, more liberal than most repubs, tried to end vietnam war, made allies with China, tried to put in single payer healthcare, put in the EPA, did the moon landings, to me I would think the oil men wanted him out for reasons similar to why they wanted JFK out tho they didn't go as far as killing him, I wonder if they told JFK to resign but he refused, Nixon didn't refuse. Who knows, I have no evidence though.
