The Sordid Affair

The Sordid Affair -- "a loaded color warhead"
Starring Richard Milhous Nixon

At the height of the Watergate scandal, live from the White House on April 30, 1973, President Richard Nixon delivered his first major speech broadcast addressing the charges being made against his Presidency. Produced by Dimitri Devyatkin, with Walter Wright on synthesizer, the video is an overlay of mesmerizing computerized animations that reflect upon the speech.
From the Minnesota Daily, November 21, 1980: "Regardless of your interest or lack thereof in video art, it's a loaded color warhead of a tape taken straight from former President Richard Nixon's infamous first Watergate speech. Remember the day that Dean, Ehrlichman and Haldeman were ushered out of the Administration, as Nixon assured Americans that "There can be no whitewash in the White House."? Devyatkin explains, "My TV did something strange to Nixon's image. When he lied, the TV wobbled his face and the more dense his lies became, the more abstract became the image of his face until it was hardly a face anymore.".... The Sordid Affair is an historical grotesque tragi-comedy that sticks voodoo pins into the American memory. Remember to laugh when you hear line after line of incredibly sick rhetoric."

An alternative explanation of the Watergate affair suggests that Nixon may actually have been victim of a set up by George H W Bush and the Rockefeller clan, because he signed the test ban treaty with Leonid Brezhnev, and seemed ready to pull back from the arms race with the USSR. Gerald Ford, who replaced Nixon, brought Dick Cheney in as Secretary of Defense and Donald Rumsfeld as Chief of Staff, to promote the fear of Russia's WMD - Weapons of Mass Destruction - a role they would repeat 35 years later in the G W Bush administration.

Lest we forget: Our present leaders can derive inspiration from other great American leaders.

White House tape recordings, April 25, 1972:

President Nixon: How many did we kill in Laos?

National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger: In the Laotian thing, we killed about ten, fifteen [thousand] ...

Nixon: See, the attack in the North [Vietnam] that we have in mind ... power plants, whatever's left -- POL [petroleum], the docks ... And, I still think we ought to take the dikes out now. Will that drown people?

Kissinger: About two hundred thousand people.

Nixon: No, no, no ... I'd rather use the nuclear bomb. Have you got that, Henry?

Kissinger: That, I think, would just be too much.

Nixon: The nuclear bomb, does that bother you? ... I just want you to think big, Henry, for Christsakes.

May 2, 1972:

Nixon: America is not defeated. We must not lose in Vietnam. ... The surgical operation theory is all right, but I want that place bombed to smithereens. If we draw the sword, we're gonna bomb those bastards all over the place. Let it fly, let it fly.
