Eyes Wide Open; The Watergate Scandal
Manage episode 410065972 series 3464936
Every scandal since Watergate has often been facetiously labeled with the same terminology or 'gate' suffix in a deceitful and underhanded attempt to convince the vast majority of people to inherently dismiss these abhorrent crimes of state, intentionally conflating them by analogy with the infamous Watergate scandal... Yet again we're forcefully confronted with an all too familiar emotional state of fear and loathing, generated by this shadow cabal pulling the strings, as we find it within ourselves to ask the inevitable question, what is the real story behind the Watergate scandal?.. "The one duty we owe to history," said Oscar Wilde, "is to rewrite it."
