I'm listening to him interviewed on another network right now. He makes sense.

Nixon started to balk at what the international financiers wanted him to do (almost all U.S. presidents in the last century have acted on behalf of the international financiers). So when Nixon balked, the Watergate burglars were sent in to get caught intentionally (went back 4 times before the security guard caught them). Then the Washington Post govt propaganda machine started shaping the story...set up Bob Woodward to write the stories, and the testimony of John Dean and Alexander Butterfield put Nixon in a position where he had to resign.

Then later, Ford was told he had to pardon Nixon because Nixon had only 2 options 1) pardon and oblivion, or 2) spill the beans on the true nature of the intelligence agencies and how they had been used by the financiers to bring him down (a coup d'etat. Nixon wasn't stupid, he knew how he'd been had. That's why the Post and other papers reported he was acting "crazy"...if he ever did detail the true events, the financiers wanted the public to doubt him).

So Ford pardoned Nixon to protect the cover of the CIA, FBI, etc., not to "heal the country." These intelligence agencies he protected are the same military-industrial agencies that are now openly running the country under the Dept of Homeland Security. Keeping the lid on the coup was the short-term benefit to the pardon of Nixon, and the LONG-term benefit was to undermine confidence in the office of the presidency. Things have gone downhill for the office since then...each president more foul or barbarous than the last.
