American Politics During The Nixon Administration

An orphan himself for six months, Mary Nixon and 10 other orphans were relentlessly belittled for every little imperfection in their speech to test the theory that children become stutterers because of psychological pressure. Nixon now 76 and some of the other test subjects sued the University of Iowa earlier this year over lifelong psychological problems.

After years of LBJ's Great Society, Richard Nixon won the 1968 election on a pledge to stem the country's ballooning welfare programmes and reduce the government's role in the economy. Early in his presidency, Nixon placed fiscal conservatives in a number of high government positions. He named Donald Rumsfeld as the Director of the Office of Economic Opportunity, an organisation the man disliked, and a renowned economics professor and free market advocate, Arthur Burns, as the Chairman of the Federal Reserve. Reflecting his professed devotion to decentralisation, he also urged the Congress under the slogan, “New Federalism”, to delegate Washington's authority over social spending to individual states. The heady days of constant government

Democrats versus Republicans face off once again in the year of 1960. The election of 1960 was a nasty election that broke the bond between two friends. John Fitzgerald Kennedy and Richard Milhous Nixon were the main two candidates in the election. With both candidates having political experience, anyone of them could become the 35th President of the United States.

Washington politics even longer, and have circulated through high government posts since the Nixon administration of the early 1970s”(EIERMANN). Its has been researching numerous times that politics in the U.S has been controlled by the elites making decisions benefiting them regardless of public opinion. Per Martin Eiermann said it comes with the territory, anytime a concentration of power is build, there will be elites to control it. It 's an inevitable feature of mass organizations. The bigger and more complex it is, the more likely you’ll get a core group of individuals with a hivemind establishing monopolies of information. It wasn’t until the recent decades that the public was suspicious, of the elites and the power they have over democracy and organizations in America. So, this fear of Hillary and these other candidates potentially controlling all these media outlets wasn’t unreasonable.

Chester Pach’s thesis implies that the ambiguous withdrawal of U.S. forces from Vietnam was directly affected by the influence the media had on President Nixon’s Vietnam campaign decisions. The author points out that the media is not the only one to blame for the failures of the U.S. government, however, their role kept President Nixon in a “political box” that influenced his decision to end the Vietnam War prematurely. The article is organized chronologically, highlighting the conflicts between President Nixon and the U.S. media, and is fairly easy to follow along. Though I do like the chronological organization technique, I prefer to organize my work by major topics, therefore, I know I won’t leave out any important material.

The project we are discussing is the case issue of Nixon vs. United States. The Chief Judge for the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi Walter Nixon was convicted of perpetrating perjury before a grand jury.

Sage Nixon is a career focused firefighter who knows all about living with pain. As a child, she was badly scarred after being ejected from her parent’s car during a horrific head on collision that killed her parents. Years later, Sage meets Jace Burnette, a devilishly sexy police officer with a bad reputation and for some reason wants her. All would be great, if she didn’t hate her body and fear being rejected. Her neck, back, and arms carry the memories of the car accident and the reason she hasn’t had a real relationship.

In this investigation the effectiveness of Nixon’s Vietnamization policy from the year of 1969 to 1972 is assessed. For evaluation of Nixon’s policy in Vietnam, this investigation inspects the development of the policy in Vietnam and how the practice of vietnamization was executed.

The research will not focus on American’s position rather it will focus mainly on Nixon’s positions and Nixon’s advocates. Also the investigation

At the end of the World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union emerged from the war as the world’s two leading superpowers. In the post war world, the U.S. and the Soviet Union both engaged in a Cold War aiming to have the most influence around the globe through the spread of their respective ideologies (communism and capitalism) and political systems (representative democracy and socialism). One particular place where this struggle for influence was seen was Latin America, specifically Chile, which faced the possibility of a democratically elected Marxist president by the name of Salvador Allende. The U.S. assumed that Allende, having communist ideals, would install a totalitarian government in Chile similar to that of Stalin’s regime if he was to be elected into office. The U.S also viewed Allende as a threat to U.S national security because his presidency in Chile could create a “domino effect,” whereby the fall of one Latin American country to communism would lead to the fall of countries elsewhere in the Americas, which was a major threat to the United States considering its proximity to Chile and other Latin American countries. Thus, the United States sent its CIA to Chile in order to prevent Allende’s ascendancy to the presidential seat in Chile by any means necessary, even if those means contradicted U.S principles such as the right of a free press, constitutionality, free elections, and peace.

Evaluate the role of the U.S government in the 1973 Chilean Military Coup d’etat and dictatorship.

The investigation assesses the significant contribution of the United States, with a general focus on the CIA, to Salvador Allende’s political downfall. To adequately evaluate the involvement of the United States and the CIA, this investigation emphasizes the multiple measures and operations taken through distinctive cases of economic plots, operations track 1 and 2, as well as the infiltration into Chilean political and military factions. This investigation strives to answer the question: How did the United States and the CIA significantly contribute to the political downfall of Salvador Allende?

The United States then tried to cause the collapse of the Chilean government under President Allende. Their excuse being that they were protecting democracy, but in reality they were insistent that they could not allow a possible communist success near home(“CNN Cold War Series Episode 18: Backyard”). The United States then planned several courses of action, including economic chaos, terroristic threats towards the Popular Unity party, and the assassination of the commander-in-chief of the Chilean Army (Uribe). All of these plans would result in the reelection of Frei. The United States planned collapse of the Chilean economy was put into action through limiting Chile’s ability to trade. Banks declared Chile a high risk investment, businesses pulled out of Chile, Kennecott (the new owner of Anaconda) placed an embargo on copper, and the United States put its copper reserves on the global market to drive the price of copper down (Uribe).The United States used private corporations as their excuse when confronted by Chile’s ambassador. President Nixon said that the United States wanted to give full protection to private interests (Uribe). This excuse, which was not the full explanation, was legitimate. The nationalization of property and resources affected the United States and its private corporations. The private corporations were to be reimbursed for their loss by the United States government through the Overseas

Chief executive manages every worker that work for the government. As head of the Executive Branch, he has the ability to decide how laws should be and chooses others to help fill in the executive branch or the cabinet. This office is the most powerful office in the world. Nixon found it very hard to trust his cabinet members. If he suspected something, he refused to let it go until he found some dirt on the guy. One of Nixon’s cabinet members, Spiro Agnew, was charged with having $100,000 from accepting bribes. Nixon didn’t give up on a lead because he always suspected the worst in everyone.

The copper industry was Chile’s biggest source of revenue. Copper provided a majority of Chile’s national exports.

American was afraid of a “Second Cuba”. Since American companies dominated the Chilean economy. The day after Allende’s election Nixon cut off loans to Chile. Credits dried up and the Chilean industry began to suffer casing an imbalance of payment problems. Prices and frustration grew as people had to stand in line for food. Workers began to seized factories. Allende socialism experiment was failing. Allende began to lose support on the political right and left. Left was becoming impatient. It all came to an end after Allende’s death. Chile became a military dictatorship under Pinochet. Thousands of Chilean leftist were tortured, murdered and went missing. “Military regime’s widespread and systematic use of torture against Chileans thought its network of approximately 1.200 torture centers.” (National Commission on Political Detention and Torture

Exploring and encountering a new era of media attention on politics, The debate between Nixon and Kennedy is the first to appear on public television.In 1960, John F. Kennedy had won because when he appeared on tv he looked so good and a really good fit for the United States. Richard Nixon seemed to be the perfect president considering he was already a vice president. But when the debate aired on live television people started to not trust Nixon considering how sweaty and untrustworthy he looked on the screen. The athletic and dapper John F. Kennedy had gotten very popular when he went on the live broadcast. John took part in looking quite trustworthy and confident. The media noticed the huge impact on this and had
