gave the green light for warrant-less wiretapping & surveillance.
Ironic considering Ford was an accidental president who took office after Nixon resigned due to the Watergate spying scandal.
One month later the Senate established the 11-member Church Committee
to investigate government surveillance programs.
Years later Ford would publicly support the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978
which W would violate in 2004 when he wiretapped 2 American lawyers.
My beef with Ford is I believe he blackmailed his way into the Oval Office.
He was appointed to the Warren Commission in 1963 to investigate the assassination of JFK,
more specifically he was to prepare a biography of Lee Harvey Oswald.
In his book "A Presidential Legacy and the Warren Commission"
(published after Gerald's death)
Ford stated:
the probe put "certain classified and potentially damaging operations in danger of being exposed".
The CIA's reaction he added "was to hide or destroy some information"
In a 1963 memo he provided the FBI with information in regards to 2 members of the Commission who were skeptical of the FBI's conclusions of the assassination.
Essentially selling out the 2 members of the panel.
The following year, Gerald Ford would be approached by the Republican Party to become the new House Minority Leader which would then lead to his vice presidency & so on and so forth.
Also notable of Ford's legacy is how he
-began his presidency by pardoning Nixon,
-told NYC to "drop dead"
&
-was nearly shot by a member of the Manson family named "Squeaky"
A compilation of interviews Ford held with a journalist he trusted were to be released in the event of "Jerry's" demise,
they were published in the book "Write It When I'm Gone"
which divulged many opinions he held as secrets to the grave:
-Bill Clinton was a sex addict
-the world wasn't ready for a woman president (Hillary) unless selected as VP
and grabbing the reigns in the event of the president dying in office
-Beliefs that it would have been best if Bush dropped the aggressive Dick as his VP
-He also advised Bush to drop Quayle in the 1992 election, which Bush ultimately lost
-Al Gore is a Bore (Al Bore)
-Warren Christopher (Secretary of State under Clinton) "looks like a dried-up prune"
It's widely understood by many that you don't become president unless the Feds have something to use against you as blackmail, this way they can persuade you to carry on those ideals which best serve the upper echelons of shadow government.
In Ford's case, its believed that Lyndon B. Johnson appointed Jerry to the Warren Commission
due to the fact that he was highly controlled by J. Edgar Hoover due to meetings recorded in secret by the FBI between Ford & Fred B. Black.
A business associate and political adviser to to president Johnson who also had close ties with the mafia.
Internal memos from William C. Sullivan, assistant director of the FBI's Intelligence division,
suggested the bureau (FBI) could expect Ford to "look after FBI interests" and did,
he was their "man", and "informant, on the Warren Commission".
