KFNX Watergate Hoax - Ashton Gray




House of Mystery True Crime History show

Summary: Ashton Gray has spent many years investigating the circumstances and motives behind the Watergate break-ins of 1972, which ultimately led to the resignation of president Richard Nixon. The official story was that the Watergate "burglars" broke in to the offices of the Democratic National Committee (with Nixon’s knowledge) to plant bugs so that the Democratic party's election plans could be learned ahead of time. Gray claims that there was no "break-in" but that the so-called burglars wanted everyone to believe this to create the illusion that they were actually in Washington, D.C. at the time. Gray points to evidence that these men were in Morocco during these events, trying to take out Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard so that the CIA could steal his methods of psychic mastery and mind control. The illusion of the burglary, Gray believes, was to frame Nixon for an illegal wiretapping that never occurred. He says the fact the conspirators couldn't get their stories straight didn't matter, since "a confession in court trumps any evidence."
