Nixon

National Security Advisor and Secretary of State under President Nixon and Ford, the Harvard Academic, nuclear strategist, the man who won a Nobel Peace Prize for negotiating the end of the Vietnam War, but who is also considered by many, a war criminal. That, Henry Kissinger.

His influence continued for decades, spanning the Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, and Ford administrations as a member of the Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board.

A redacted history of Sandial Laboratories in New Mexico notes that Don Cotter, who was later a Nixon administration advisor on atomic energy and assistant to the Secretary of Defense.

In the 1960 election, John F. Kennedy narrowly defeated Richard Nixon.

While Kissinger is now mainly associated with Nixon's legacy, it is often overlooked that he also worked under Kennedy.

But once again, the campaign didn't take, and Kissinger was unexpectedly available when Nixon came calling.

Despite once calling Nixon the most dangerous candidate, Kissinger accepted the role of national security adviser, marking the start of his most infamous chapter.

Why was Kissinger Nixon s choice?

It is often suggested that it was through his associations with MJ-12, or an MJ-12-like group, that Kissinger was considered the perfect person to accompany Nixon into the White House.

The Nixon White House was home to scandal secrets and occasional absurdity.

One of the strangest stories tied to Nixon, and one that raises questions about what Kissinger might have been aware of, involves the actor, Jackie Gleason, who is famously obsessed with UFOs.

According to Gleason's ex-wife, one night in the 1970s, Nixon, possibly drunk, showed up at the actor's house unannounced and took him to see alien bodies at a secret facility.

Was Nixon bragging to impress his golf buddy? Letting off steam? Was it all fake? No one knows.

But if Nixon was at all interested in UFOs, his closest advisor, who frequently endured his late-night drunk and tirades, was surely hearing about it.

Firstly, we have circumstantial evidence of Harold Maumgren brought into the Nixon administration in 1971.

Maumgren was used explicitly by Nixon to check Kissinger in many negotiations to, like, confirm that Kissinger wasn't going rogue on various things.

And the whole China thing, the back channels with the Soviets, Maumgren was Nixon's, like, you know, confirmation, you know, route.

Kissinger's role under Nixon is often cited as emblematic of centralized secret governance.

This allowed him to decide what Nixon would review while bypassing bureaucratic dissent.
