pcr is accurate in all i've seen him present and here he's hitting several home runs at one time in part because he accurately describes what watergate really was and follows with real descriptions of who and why it was done, bringing us into today and what's going on there, in part;


President Nixon’s Accomplishments in Protecting the Environment Are Being Destroyed by the Trump Regime
Paul Craig Roberts
Two days ago I wrote about how our allegedly full employment economy’s need for jobs had caused the Trump regime to overule the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and permit extractive companies to destroy protected lands ( https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2019/08/13/gold-over-life-literally/ ). Today our subject thanks to Stephen Lendman ( https://stephenlendman.org/2019/08/trump-regime-gutting-the-endangered-species-act/ ) is the Trump regime’s destruction of the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
The Endnagered Species Act and the Clean Water Act serve as backups for the protection of lands by the Environmental Protection Act as these protected lands often contain water resources and endangered species. The brutal assault on the environment by extractive industries endangers protected waters and species. Thus, to proceed with the Pebble mining project in the sensitive Bristol Bay area of Alaska also requires setting aside the ESA as protected bald eagles, grizzly bears, and wolves are in the affected area. EPA scientists are convinced that the project will cause “complete loss of fish habitat” in one of the world’s most valuable wild salmon fisheries and add salmon to the list of endangered species.
For capitalists, the environment is something to be looted. Thus as the gangster Brazilian government destroys the Amazon rain forest, the American gangsters destroy Bristol Bay. Environmental looting is very profitable, because the costs are largely external and are imposed on those who have no claim to the profits. The ridiculous and incompetent way in which Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is measured results in the destruction of the Amazon rain forest and Alaska’s Bristol Bay being recorded as an increase in GDP and wellbeing of Brazilians and Americans. The faulty measures of economists contribute to the desruction of life on earth...........https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2019/08/15/president-nixons-accomplishments-in-protecting-the-environment-are-being-destroyed-by-the-trump-regime/
