President Richard Nixon resigned in 1974 due to the Watergate scandal. Investigations revealed that Nixon had tried to cover-up White House involvement in the 1972 break-in of the Democratic National Committee headquarters located in the Watergate complex. Journalists from the Washington Post uncovered connections between the break-in and the White House. Despite Nixon claiming executive privilege, the Supreme Court ruled he had to turn over secret recordings that revealed his involvement in the cover-up. Facing near-certain impeachment and removal from office, Nixon resigned.
This document provides an introduction and overview of the relationship between the American news media and the government in the aftermath of the September 11th attacks. It discusses how the news media largely accepted and disseminated the government's framing of the attacks and calls for military intervention without sufficient independent scrutiny or consideration of alternative viewpoints. The document traces how objectivity became an ideal of American journalism and how this limits the news media's ability to fulfill its watchdog role over the government, particularly during times of crisis when patriotism runs high. It argues the news coverage of 9/11 revealed the news media acting more as a lapdog than watchdog to the government.
This document provides an overview of the CIA operation to overthrow Guatemalan president Jacobo Arbenz in 1954 and discusses how the CIA continued efforts to destroy Arbenz's reputation and public image after he was removed from power. It notes that the CIA closely monitored and surveilled Arbenz's movements after exile, targeting him with propaganda campaigns and misinformation in Guatemalan and Uruguayan media. The document examines newly declassified CIA documents that reveal the extent and methods of the CIA's media strategy against Arbenz from 1954 to 1960, aiming to influence public opinion and construct a negative narrative around him.
This document outlines a lecture on the American presidency. It discusses the framers' original intent for a limited presidency, the qualifications for the office, and the constitutional powers of the president related to the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. It then examines how the presidency has expanded over time, from FDR expanding federal power during the Great Depression to the modern imperial presidency focused on foreign policy. Recent administrations from Reagan to Obama are analyzed in terms of their domestic and foreign policy challenges within divided or unified governments.
The document contains guidance from Operation PBSUCCESS headquarters to stations in Guatemala and another undisclosed location regarding how to respond to a "White Paper" published by the Guatemalan government accusing foreign powers of plotting to overthrow the Arbenz regime. The guidance suggests ridiculing the paper by linking it to past propaganda from the government and emphasizing other news to divert attention from it. It also offers suggestions for claiming the paper is intended to cover up domestic repression and aggressive military plans by the Guatemalan government.
The Iran-Contra Affair involved the covert sale of arms to Iran by the Reagan administration to fund anti-communist rebels, or Contras, in Nicaragua. Independent Counsel Lawrence Walsh uncovered that funds from the arms sales to Iran were illegally diverted to support the Contras, violating Congressional restrictions. Over the course of an eight year investigation, Walsh charged 14 administration officials with crimes related to the cover up, though many convictions were later overturned. While Reagan claimed ignorance of the diversion, Walsh argued the affair demonstrated failures of executive oversight and accountability.

This document discusses the evolution of US counterinsurgency strategies in Afghanistan and Iraq after initial invasions. It argues that the US initially took a conventional "top-down" approach rather than cooperating with local populations, but later shifted to focus on winning local support through interactions at forward operating bases. This new approach led to decreased casualties and increased stability. However, the document notes that long-term strategic goals like regional stability depend more on local populations' efforts than US military might alone. It draws parallels to Britain's failed counterinsurgency against American colonists during the Revolutionary War.
1) The WikiLeaks document dump reflected positively on US diplomacy and policy, showing efforts to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and negotiations with Saudi Arabia over oil.
2) While some documents were embarrassing, they did not reveal sensitive information like assassination attempts or illegal torture that could have been in past leaks.
3) The impact on US foreign policy is considered "fairly modest" according to the Defense Secretary, and unlike the Pentagon Papers, the WikiLeaks documents did not involve deliberate government lies that led to loss of life.

The Watergate Scandal destroyed Americans' trust in the government and changed views of politicians forever. President Richard Nixon and his administration committed numerous crimes, including the Watergate break-in. Journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein uncovered the truth through their reporting in the Washington Post. Their stories, along with congressional hearings, ultimately led to Nixon becoming the first president to resign from office in 1974.
The Psychological Strategy Board authorized the CIA to proceed with a high priority covert operation called Project [name redacted] to remove the Guatemalan government. The CIA was given responsibility for the operation and told to seek support from State and Defense Departments. The operation was expected to take considerable time and effort to undermine the regime's grip on power through preparatory actions and influencing the atmosphere. It was to be handled extremely closely within the US government.
The document discusses media propaganda related to the 2003 Iraq war and ongoing Syrian conflict. It notes that during the Iraq war, US media networks framed the invasion favorably and avoided showing Iraqi casualties, while Arab networks portrayed it as an invasion. It also critiques Western media coverage of Syria for falsely portraying early violence as a popular uprising against Assad and for uncritically reporting pro-opposition sources like the White Helmets. The document argues mainstream narratives in both conflicts have lacked credibility and ignored evidence contradicting pro-Western stances.
The document provides an overview of the CIA's involvement in Vietnam during the Vietnam War. It discusses how the CIA supported the fragile South Vietnamese government and conducted clandestine counterinsurgency operations. While the CIA's intelligence was sometimes faulty, accurate intelligence that contradicted the President's plans was often discarded, leading to criticism of the CIA. The document also summarizes some of the key primary sources on the CIA in Vietnam, including Thomas Ahern Jr.'s comprehensive multi-volume work on CIA operations based on his experience in Vietnam and Laos. It highlights how Ahern described the CIA's initially supportive but complicated relationship with Ngo Dinh Diem and their efforts to find new leaders after his assassination, as well as programs
The document discusses how the governments of the US and UK used agenda-setting in the media to gain public support for the Iraq War. Journalists embedded with the military in Iraq reported in a way that portrayed the war favorably. Both governments emphasized links between Iraq and terrorism to make the war a top priority in the media. While the public may not have originally supported the war, agenda-setting influenced people to see invasion as necessary through repetitive headlines.
George W. Bush’s credibility has more holes it than one of Dick Cheney’s hunting partners. In 2009, following eight years of misrule, the axis-of incompetence finally vacated the White House; the world breathed a sigh of relief. Today, the Bush administration’s reputation may be worth less than a share of Enron’s stock selling on E-bay, but there are still some apologists who insist that the decisions Bush made in office will be vindicated by posterity. However, Bush vs. History makes a virtually irrefutable case showing why George W. Bush is destined to join the ranks of James Buchanan, Richard Nixon, Herbert Hoover, Andrew Johnson, and Warren Harding in the cellar of presidential ignominy.
To date, Bush has managed to escape the legal and moral reckoning for his lawless and criminally negligent tenure. However, the verdict of history is one thing Bush will not be able to evade. Bush vs. History pieces together essays, op-ed style articles, book and film reviews, and political humor organized around a central theme: showing how and why Bush failed the test of presidential leadership. Themes explored include: Bush and the Art of Leadership, Bush and Language, Bush’s Faith-Based Foreign Policy, Bush Economics, Bush and the Art of War, Bush and Torture, and Why the Right is Wrong for America.
In 2000, James Baker III, Bush family consigliore, and one of the finest sophists in our nation’s history, led an effort that eventually convinced the conservative majority on the U.S Supreme Court to effectively overturn the will of the electorate. Baker’s rhetorical skills were so beguiling that he probably could have used them to sell one-way tickets aboard a Russian submarine. However, it is now abundantly clear that those who engineered Bush’s victory in the infamous Bush vs. Gore decision helped steer this country towards disaster. Today, it is doubtful that even James Baker could salvage Bush’s reputation. Bush vs. Gore was a watershed in American history. For everyone who was outraged by Bush vs. Gore, Bush vs. History delivers what the aforementioned case failed to do; a measure of poetic justice.

This document discusses the complex relationship between the media and the government during times of war. It provides several examples from different conflicts to illustrate how the media's role has changed over time and been influenced by the level of censorship and information control imposed by the government. While the media aims to act as a watchdog, it often relies too heavily on official sources, limiting its ability to independently question government policy. The document also analyzes how both the government and opposition parties seek to characterize media coverage and criticism of war policy as being unpatriotic or aiding the enemy.
A failure of perspective moral assumptions and genocideSpaceX
This book review summarizes Samantha Power's book "A Problem from Hell": America and the Age of Genocide. The book examines the consistent non-response of American leaders to genocide throughout the 20th century. Power argues this is due to a "failure of imagination" - that genocide is so horrific that leaders and the public choose to look away rather than confront it. However, the book review argues the reasons are more fundamental - stemming from failures in the Anglo-American legal system's moral perspective. This legal system is based on an "ethic of justice" that focuses on individual rights and self-interest over responsibilities to prevent mass violence and protect others. The review will explore how an "ethic of care" perspective
This document summarizes a meeting between CIA and State Department officials discussing plans ("PBSUCCESS") to overthrow the Guatemalan government of Jacobo Arbenz. They discuss expanding operations to include sabotage, eliminating opposition leaders, and defecting key military figures. State Department representatives express concern that direct US involvement could set back inter-American relations for decades and ask if an incident could be provoked for the OAS to intervene instead of direct US action. CIA officials say they will likely be committed to the operation by April and it may not be possible to stop it once underway.
The document discusses the strategy of containment during the Cold War and its successes and failures. It argues that containment was initially successful in Western Europe by aligning European countries against the Soviet Union through economic support from the US. However, containment ultimately failed due to increasing global interdependence. Countries today have significant economic reliance on both Russia and China, decreasing the ability of the US to isolate them. The emerging multipolar global system reduces US unilateral power compared to the bipolar system of the Cold War.
The document summarizes key events in the early 21st century United States, including the September 11th terrorist attacks, the US response through the War on Terror and invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, Hurricane Katrina, and domestic issues like affirmative action Supreme Court cases. It provides casualty figures and costs of post-9/11 wars, discusses the Patriot Act and detention camp at Guantanamo Bay, and outlines the 2004 presidential election between Bush and Kerry.
Politics Now Jon Pevehouse Public Opinion And American Foreign PolicyPearsonPoliSci
- Many Americans have poor geographic knowledge about locations abroad like Japan and the UK. However, public opinion on foreign policy issues can be relatively coherent.
- Traditional views held that public opinion on foreign policy did not matter because the public was uninformed and volatile. But more recent evidence suggests public opinion does influence policy when it changes in response to events, rather than randomly.
- Studies show local media coverage of foreign policy issues tends to follow debates in Congress. This media coverage then shapes public opinion, which leaders take into account. So public opinion can indirectly influence policy through its impact on politicians anticipating voter reactions.
Global Patriarchal Christian White Supremacy & the Road to the U.S. Capitol I...WarrenJBlumenfeld
The Stockholm-based International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance put the U.S. on a list of “backsliding democracies” in its November 2021 report. “The United States, the bastion of global democracy, fell victim to authoritarian tendencies itself,” the report found. Dr. Blumenfeld's presentation addresses some of the historical global roots of fascism and the social cleavages giving rise to anti-democratic leaders, which set the context for the January 6, 2021 Capitol Insurrection in the U.S.
- Terrorism affects American public opinion on foreign policy and international affairs. After 9/11, fighting terrorism became a top priority as the US initiated the War on Terror.
- Two major events that shaped US foreign policy since WWII were the Cold War and the War on Terror. During the Cold War, the US sought to contain the spread of communism and tensions grew with the Soviet Union. The War on Terror began after 9/11 to combat al-Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan.
- Terrorism can influence Americans' views about the importance of international affairs and defense spending. Major attacks often increase concerns about national security and support for a stronger military response.
The document discusses the changes that occurred in America after 9/11, including changes to domestic and foreign policy under Bush and Obama. It examines the official and unofficial explanations for the 9/11 attacks. It also analyzes the US response, including the creation of the 9/11 Commission, changes to government agencies, and the wars launched in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The document discusses the concept of a "new world order" proposed by President Bush after the Gulf War in 1991. It argues that while Bush invoked the phrase, his administration failed to give it meaning or follow through on realizing its vision. It calls for reviving and investing the concept with a guiding vision that can organize American foreign policy going forward, focusing on collective security and international cooperation. The end of the Cold War presents an opportunity for reformulating US strategy and priorities around this new world order.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Strategies for Effective Upskilling is a presentation by Chinwendu Peace in a Your Skill Boost Masterclass organisation by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan on 08th and 09th June 2024 from 1 PM to 3 PM on each day.

In an education system, it is understood that assessment is only for the students, but on the other hand, the Assessment of teachers is also an important aspect of the education system that ensures teachers are providing high-quality instruction to students. The assessment process can be used to provide feedback and support for professional development, to inform decisions about teacher retention or promotion, or to evaluate teacher effectiveness for accountability purposes.

President Richard Nixon, found himself tied to a scandal that even the decades do not
seem to erase. The magnitude of the scandal proves far-reaching. Consequently, he has no other
choice but to resign from office. This makes him the first and only president in the history of the
United States of America to have ever resigned. Being the President of the United States of
America, his political career saw him more than just the president of that country. His political
career had cast him, on several occasions at the very heart of politics that span beyond his
country; he was involved not only in his country’s politics but also in those of international
status. His career was overflowed with unprecedented ups and downs. The downs, however, had
a more lasting moment, and a very profound effect on his career. Many thought that he would
never rise from the ashes of some of the colossal defeats he faced. As a result of how
unfavorable his career unfolded on him, he made thorough attempts to create a more acceptable
image to the citizens of the Republic. This was never to be the case due to the weight of the
scandal that later came to be. As the writer Charles River demonstrates the historical and ethical
considerations of Nixon’s scandal revealed a flawed prognostication of a scornful figure that hit
the news headlines with a surprise. Nixon’s paranoia together with the American political
development aspects of path dependency and the consequences of his actions contributed to the
inevitable path towards Watergate as well as his downfall as a president.
The scandal that led to Richard Nixon’s resignation from being the president of the
United States of America remains engrained in the history of the nation. It is believed that the
end justifies the means in that, the end of an aspect is what matters, not the steps involved in the
objective or the process. In his case, Richard Nixon used unlawful ways during the time of
elections that were disregarded during the process since their target was centered at the desired
end of wining. The Watergate scandal had long been viewed as a one-time scandal that

happened during President Richard Nixon’s administration. It was thought to be this grand
outrageous event that the public got to know of in the wake of the year after the president’s
reelection. What the Watergate scandal actually referred to is a chain and succession of
scandalous events that took place between years 1971 through to 1974. They were greatly tied to
the presidents as they occurred during the years that he was in power.
These crafty actions were the first Watergate break-in that were evident in his
administration. After the victory, Nixon and his administration proceeded to embark on another
path following the Watergate break-in and cover-ups in his obsession with power. The
responsibilities of holding the president’s office and the attempt to remain innocent were not
easy to cope with at the same time. Richard Nixon was wrong to assume that exhibiting more
power than his office commander would offer safety to the American citizens. Despite hang
such a belief, the truth is there was no need having a president of construction during that time.
The country was undergoing a reconstruction period that required the alteration of the current
political establishment, while at the same time moving the country in a different direction. Much
as Nixon acted the reconstructive president, the Watergate scandal unfolded some vital factors of
preemption. Preemptive characters put their personal needs at the center point though it is not
clear what drove him to such unnecessary lengths. Nevertheless, the time which a president rules
is vital in determining the successes of the failures. Again, the dynamics of a president impact
the decisions that they will take while in office. The threats to his independence from his
dramatic childhood may have pushed him to be stubborn in dealing with the external forces.
Nixon had to follow two different forms of path dependence which involved, a road that
was led by the collaborative efforts to ensure that he is re-elected in the following elections. He
was more concerned with the short term goals together with his inner circle and failed to realize
3
4. NIXON’S WATERGATE SCANDAL 4
the long term implications of their actions. He became, undoubtedly the president that the United
States of America needed. In his administration, it was clear that Nixon was a promising
character who assured the people he would certainly end the Vietnam War. He was rather seen as
a capable president after the domestic achievements that gave the hopes of making the American
dream come true. The other path dependence was to maintain order in the office of president
after the Watergate scandal began and worse of all, it was linked to the white house. He
worsened the issue by using anyone he wanted including his closest allies for his cover-ups.
However, that did not work out well as he could not clean out his scandals without tarnishing the
white house. Again, his internal paranoia made him believe that illegal shortcuts were the only
way he could achieve his ultimate goals. May be the road towards Watergate was not inevitable
but the road he embarked on was optional. Instead of taking the road he took, Nixon should have
taken a professional and a clean campaign. His past events should not be used as a cover-up to
his actions.
Despite the reference to the sequence of scandals that took place during those years, the
Watergate Scandal mostly refers to the particular break-in at the Watergate Hotel. The office
complex in Washington, D.C. Alberg says that describing the scandal is unequivocal in that the
Watergate Scandal described the scandalizing event, which was the scandal itself and the
scandalized reaction of the public – the nation’s shock at President Nixon’s abuse of power
(2013). The disaster had its roots from a guarded conflict between the Republican Party and the
Democrats Party. Also in this mix was President Richard Nixon’s White House paranoia. This
paranoia was appalling as it contributed greatly to his ultimate defeat and the resulting clashes
which revolved around the top secret information that was made known to the public. It

encouraged senior government officials to carry out infamously petty crimes and cover ups for
the main reasons of assassinations of character and cross political surveillance and spying.
In 1973, President Nixon gave a nation-wide address in which he described what exactly the
Watergate scandal was. He also described the charges of illegal political activity during and
before the presidential elections that were held in 1972. He also had to explain the cover-ups
made by his senior government officials in order to hide the illegal activities that happened
behind the public’s backs. In due course, he realized that he had brought up very serious
questions that doubted the integrity of the White House. Consequently, it was this Watergate
scandal that led to the resignation of an American president who was in fact in office. As
aforementioned, this was the first and only time in the history of the United States that a
president resigned. This will never lose its significance in Unites States of America history. The
resignation came after President Nixon had tried to move mountains to prevent investigations
and cover up crimes that had been done by senior government officials in his own
administration.
The Watergate got so much associated with scandal; it became synonymous with the
word scandal. As a result of such synonymy, the word gate in Watergate is normally used with
words in the today world to show that they are actually scandals.
Richard Nixon after such a scandal under his administration has been ranked one of the worst
presidents to have ever walked the surface of the American land. He has been loathed and
despised. However, there’s not so much to prove that this perception of the president and the
Watergate scandal unanimous nature is actually necessary. A rising number of members of the
Republican Party actually believe that the downfall of President Nixon had some hidden driving

forces behind it. Led by former President Nixon’s speech writer, Mr. Pat Buchanan, the
Republicans blamed the resignation and eventual downfall of President Nixon on a sort-of-coup
that was created and bred by the media and laissez-faire societal forces. These forces sprang
from the anti-war movement. This caused the release of the classified information on Vietnam a
progressively more disliked battle. It also led to the prevalent campus strife throughout the whole
of USA.
Richard Nixon and Watergate: The Life of the President and the Scandal that brought him
down has sought to describe the origins of the break-in, the beginning of the cover-ups, the
participation of the Central Intelligence Agency and the role of the media. It also seeks to bring
to light the contested relationship between President Nixon and Watergate. It also seeks to bring
out the definition of the terms and a basic outline of events.
