During the Watergate hearings, one man wanted to tell a spell-bound nation secrets about the Nixon White House, the CIA, and Howard Hughes. He could have told them why the burglary happened, but that was not what the Committee wanted. Before the hearing, to keep him from telling his secrets, he was persecuted, jailed and forced into exile in Canada. His name is John Meier, his employer was Howard Hughes, and, Age of Secrets is his story. A compelling biography on former U.S. Senate Candidate, John H. Meier, who was intimately involved with Howard Hughes, Watergate, Nixon, the CIA, etc. The book argues that Meier was one of the people who played a role in affecting President Richard Nixon's resignation in the wake of the Watergate scandal and details how he was pursued for two decades years by the CIA, the Hughes organization, as well as Nixon sympathizers. Includes an excerpt from Meier's diary regarding his knowledge of the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. In the American cryptocracy, as John Meier explains, the CIA was running the Hughes empire. And also, Intertel, Resorts International's 'private eye spy group'. American politics was a continuum throughout the fifties, sixties, and early seventies that was defined by the struggle between the Richard Nixon apparat and the Kennedy machine, with the Howard Hughes empire serving as a pivot prop in what amounted to a secret war for the country's soul. CIA spooks, mobsters on three coasts and a coven of Texas oligarchs built the magic box. The Deep State secret powers that have evolved since the Cold War defined by assassination, surveillance and cover-up has undermined the American people. The Howard Hughes organization, with its ties to Texas oil, Las Vegas gambling, Hollywood, and the CIA was the secret fulcrum of that continuum, mediating a political struggle that saw the Kennedy's devastated by murder and the Nixon camp destroyed by a soft coup d'etat. In this, Meier was both a witness and a participant, so well-connected and deeply involved that it could only have ended in his exile or a grave. The focal point of Meier's tale is the secret war for the Hughes empire. Includes detailed ten-page glossary-index of names and organizations. Printed in Canada. 320 pages. Insured post.
