Being first-hand involved in the intricacies and difficuties of obtaining government records, and why the FOIA was created, it was shocking and disingenuous when Hillary skirted the Freedom of Information Act with [[Hillary Clinton email scandal|her own email server]], knowing full well those records were the property of the U.S. Government and American people.

Much was made about "[[obstruction of justice]]" when a Nixon tape had an 18 minute gap, but nary a word was spoken by career civil service FBI officials when Hillary Clinton confessed to destroying 33,000 emails that were property of the American people.

At the time Nixon ordered campaign funds to be used to pay Watergate burglers' legal defense, there was no law prohibiting the action. The FEC was created to install reporting requirements and regulations. Its rulings often take years, and are farcical. For instance, President Obama was found to have accepted $2 million in illegal contributions and ordered to pay a $300,000 fine, thus pocketing $1.7 million in illegal money. It's not much of a deterence, and no consolation to the public to be informed six months after a criminal regime leaves office.

Perhaps the most controversial of Watergate "reforms" is the War Powers Act. Much can be said about the controveries surrounding this Act, on the whole it appears to be a cosmetic ''ex post facto'' attempt to justify the charges of President Nixon's alleged wrongdoing. Every president since has violated it, and no Congress has asked the [[Supreme Court]] to rule on its constitutionality.

In violation of the War Powers Act, President Obama committed U.S. forces to a combat role in the [[Libyan War]]. After [[Col. Gaddafi]] was murdered, President Obama, Sec. of State Hillary Clinton, and CIA director John Brennan instructed civil servants to ship captured weapons to groups which became the [[Islamic State]] in [[Syria]].

The 30 year career civil servant who was director of security for the Senate Intelligence Committee later leaked the [[Carter Page]] FISA warrant to the press apparantly on orders of his superiors. The [[leak]] was a major move in the [[Deep State coup]] plot against President Trump to create media speculation in the [[Trump-Russia collusion hoax]].

The freedom and end of privilege, which the oppressed thought the revolution was to bring, was giving way to a new form of class rule by the [[nomenklatura]]. At each decisive step, the "workers' socialist state" under Lenin and [[Stalin]], backed not the workers but the managers. A wide campaign of "education" was undertaken to show the people why "workers' rule" meant, in practice, managers' rule. Where necessary, the education by the word was supplemented with education by [[firing squad]], [[concentration camp]] or [[slavery|forced labor]] battalion.

Under the system known as Marxism-Leninism, all government jobs are held by socialist or Communist party members. From the [[Head of State]] to village librarian, from military officers, police officers to teachers and social services workers (there were no churches to provide social services, which was the church's traditional role in society).

In a typical Marxist society, special schools are set up for the children of party members and students selected by teachers, ages four to fourteen.
