Before his death, Gen. Alexander Haig sat down for an interview in 2000 with Fox correspondent, James Rosen, in which certain history which the General was a part of would not be revealed until his passing.
World Tribune posted in part some of the most telling of things and I post them here in part as what General Haig finally revealed proves a great part of what this blog posts in assessing situations and the people in them.
On Richard Nixon:
Nixon knew a lot more than he admitted he did. And by inference, probably influenced more than he would ever admit he did, or recognize he did, as an individual. . . . He used to, in his lowest and highest moments with me, ruminate about how stupid it all was, and how badly it was handled. And: "Why, now, does it have to get up here? A second-rate burglary!" as he called it. And of course, he came from a school where those things were routinely done by both parties.
I mean, he wasn't naive in this; he had an election stolen from him — and he knew it. And everybody knew it! They all knew Chicago [in the 1960 presidential election] was fixed; but he didn't do anything about it. He knew what was going on with Alger Hiss. I mean, Alger Hiss is now proven in the history books to have been a goddamn spy, right? . . . All of those things, I mean, that shapes a man. So, you know, it was his environment. It was also core values, too.
The dirty secret in this was hypothesized in a Playboy series in the 80's (Yes Playboy used to have articles which were worth reading until the Hefner's went completely liberal whore.), in the article it postulated that Richard Nixon was concerned that the Kennedy's clan had done their own "burglary" concerning Bebe Rabozo, a Nixon rich money man, who of course was funnelling money to Nixon.
That is what the essence of Watergate was about in scope in breaking in to ascertain what the Kennedy's had for information.
It is a fact by what Al Haig notes, that Mr. Nixon had a personality which could have a coup run against it, in some operative, perhaps like G. Gordon Liddy working for both sides would bungle the job and Tavistock would know Nixon would jump on it, and drag it all into the White House with a Bob Woodward globalist intelligence operative to skewer Nixon.
Nixon was hated by the communists for his work in rooting them out of the American Government. This is the reason this 5th column took Nixon out the same way Patrick Fitzgerald, Dick Armitage and Valerie Plame tried to run a like coup on George W. Bush.
And for the fact, in another Playboy series, Howard Hughes the billionaire tried to by the Democratic party after the RFK assassination, but later just gave a briefcase of 1 million dollars each to Hubert Humphrey and Richard Nixon for business purposes.
Nixon screwed Hughes over with atomic testing in Nevada, and who knows what Hughes part was in retaliation to this day.
On Henry Kissinger
I think he was too soft on the Russians. And I thought he was naive on Vietnam. . . . Henry and I almost came to fisticuffs, only I would have been the puncher, on a number of occasions. . . . He was difficult to work for. . . . Henry had an ego; Henry was duplicitous. But you know, Henry Kissinger, the country's better for having had him than if they hadn't had him.
I have always admired Henry Kissinger for his immense accomplishments for America, but his failures were catastrophic as in just dumping Vietnam to the communist wolves.
Yes, the problem is the treaty did provide American assistance, which Democrats in being spiteful to Gerald Ford, abandoned, so South Vietnam fell ruining millions of people's lives, but Kissinger followed the liberal John Kerry crowed and got America out and all hell followed for the South.
Kissinger was always a French courtesan, in he loved France, loved his beautiful policies, but loved Henry Kissinger's mind more.
America was fortunate to have had him, but without Richard Nixon he was just another Rockefeller prostitute of the global order.
On George H. W. Bush & Co.
I settled it twice (Lebanese Israeli War). The first time I got it settled was before the funeral of [Saudi Arabia's] King Khalid. We had a withdrawal schedule [for Israeli troops in Lebanon]. That's why I created a multinational force to go into Beirut. Not to keep the Israelis from brutalizing the PLO, but to supervise the withdrawal of Syria, the PLO and Israel. Now, what happened? [Vice President] Bush, [Defense Secretary] Cap Weinberger, designated by Jim Baker to go to Khalid's funeral. And do you know what they had — went in, in a meeting, a secret meeting, and said, "Boys, Haig doesn't speak for the U.S. — United States government." And therefore, they immediately jumped off that agreement, which I had to twist their arms to accept.
Bill Clark says, "Hey, Cap says let's get that multinational force in there to keep these [expletive] Israelis from brutalizing the PLO." The minute they went in, you know what happened? The Russians, who had withdrawn from Damascus, said, "Ah! Here's NATO, Europe, right in there." Boom! They go right back into Damascus, and that's the end of it . . .
It has always been the most distressing of things in President Reagan had thee most gifted of people around him in Mike Deaver, Lynwood Nofzegger, Al Haig, James Watt, Ed Meese and Bill Casey, and then he had that group of self serving bastards like George H. W. Bush, Cap Weinberger and James Baker.
I do not mean this a blanket condemnation as Baker when he is pointed in the right direction was good for America, and Cap Weinberger was one of the best, but this group was just patrician cat fight, like that group of sadistic bastards harassing Sarah Palin.
This is that same bunch.
Vice President Bush really was too Obama for his own good. He told the Christian right to shut up and go away, destroyed Dan Quayle, and Weinberger and Baker were screwing George Shultz around during the Reagan years in denying him a car to drive around.
They mismanaged in Bush 41 all what Gen. Haig stated including the Hispanic vote which Reagan had worked hard to bring into the GOP.
They are kinder and gentler patricians, if not for Maggie Thatcher, Saddam Hussein would still be raping Kuwait as the Bush 41 group just had to be told which end was up.
The tragedy is Bush 43 was left to clean up his old man's mistakes and this same Baker cancer was unleashed to destroy Trent Lott, Larry Craig, George Allan, and hosts of other Conservatives as I has said this is a backstabbing bunch of kitties who eat their own.
They ate Al Haig, ate the Conservative GOP, and put John McCain on the ticket who lost, and then had the audacity to send out Jeb Bush to blame Reagan and say the GOP needed to be more like Obama.
I love Barbara Bush as America's national Grandmother, and I have great respect for Bush41, but the absolute Baldy Schmidt Obamites and the character assassination of this group of Sarah Palin is unforgivable as they are responsible for allowing the NeoProg tide to engulf America.
If they would have governed Conservative, America would be at peace, prosperous and George Allan would be leading the US now as a world leader.
On Ronald Reagan and George Schultz
I went down to Greenbrier for the weekend. I got a call from [Reagan aide] George Shultz. He said, "Al, the president has said now's the time." And I said: "George, you're not going to tell me that. You tell the president to tell me that." So the president called me 30 minutes later. He said, "What George told you is so." And I said, "Well, let me tell ya . . . I can't tell you how sensitive this agreement is and how fragile it is." So what happened? Poor George Shultz — who didn't know sh*t from shinola.
I have never had a great appreciation for the Rockefeller's George Schultz. He is a sound diplomat, but as Gen. Haig explained he simply did not have the international scope to deal with American policy at that time.
President Reagan as stated had the best in Bill Casey at CIA and Al Haig at State. America lost when it lost those men, and the undercurrent of the Bush run Iran Contra narco Sandinista war run out of Bill Clinton's Arkansas did to Reagan what John Hinkley could not.
It was said that Reagan actually was thinking about putting Don Rumsfeld as Vice President on the ticket, but Lynwood Nofzegger said, "The boss does that and we'll have to hire a food tester".
It was a joke of macabre state, but in reality the thought of that tough German Rumsefeld as VP, combined with Casey at CIA and Haig at State, with Ed Meese guiding the moral nature, there never would have been an Iran Contra or in that, never would have been a Bill Clinton as he would not have had the uptick from that CIA operation to gain national footage as a Rockefeller son.
One can ponder a paradigm shift like that, in Don Rumsfeld not messing up what the Bush patricians did, not allowing Greenspan to rape Americans in bubble bursts, Newt Gingrich gaining the Congress and real tax cuts as Rumsfeld knew economics and no Saddam Gulf Wars, and none of Brzezinski's Osama in a box being let terror loose on the world for 9 11.
It would be a different world if the patricians had not been character assassinating America's Patriots who bled red, white and blue.
Gen. Haig's history is a warning for what America is facing, because the same mistakes and the same character assassinations are going on against Sarah Palin this day by this same group of patricians.
I do not know if Gen. Haig would agree, but I would offer this in closing.............
Still the worst which Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon let America be burdened with is still better than Bill Clintons and Barack Hussein Obama's best.
Money in the bank, peace in our time and American rights certainty on that one.

Gen. Alexander Haig beyond the gravest of terms
