Christopher HitchensGUEST
He exposes the glibness and fatuity of all of us, and it's for everyone to look to their own language.
Christopher HitchensGUEST
And people who say they're anti-war, if they are Ramsey Clark, for example.

Now, whether they know it or not, this petition is put together by a front organization for the Workers World Party called the International Action Center, whose chair, Ramsey Clark, is chairman of the International Committee to Defend Slobodan Milosevic.
Christopher HitchensGUEST
Now, I'm sorry, that's not pacifism.
Glenn ThrushGUEST
The only other time that they did this in modern history was in 1968.
Glenn ThrushGUEST
When Ramsey Clark was the attorney general under Johnson, and it was to block an election of the Barber County, Alabama Democratic Committee for the uninitiated.
Glenn ThrushGUEST
And I've started my career in Alabama, so I know all this.

That's George Wallace's home county

Bibi's election... bb is ramsey clark or ramsey lewis compared to what's in line smoltridge and others if they get involved it's it you've got people there that will blow we have to see uh uh nasa i've got to see this it's unbelievable and where of the left or right where is that sentiment on the left So if you are someone, and by the way, remember, under Biden, or technically Blinken, they were 100% on board with this, so there's really nothing different.
LionelHOST
But El-Sayed and others, and ALC and others, I'm telling you, if you – let me ask you this.
LionelHOST
If you believe that America has no business in foreign wars, especially what either is considered to be genocide or ethnic cleansing or – or apartheid, or whatever you want to call it, if you believe this, then the left is the only one who you talk to.
John PotashGUEST
And I was into left wing activism at that time, too.
John PotashGUEST
So I was going to conferences and I talked to former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark.
John PotashGUEST
And I say, what do you think the government's doing with drugs in our communities? Do you think they're using them as part of social control? He said, yes.
John PotashGUEST
He said he thinks the government's using drugs to sedate and divide the masses.
John PotashGUEST
But in the documents they found, they said that their goal is to have people act in ways they desire, that people believe to be their own choices.
John PotashGUEST
But they're really, the way they're being led by the CIA to act the way they are.
John PotashGUEST
And I also found that I talked to former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark at a conference, and I said, what do you think the government's using drugs for in different communities of color and other communities? Well, I think they're used to sedate and divide the masses.
John PotashGUEST
And I talked to a former CIA agent whistleblower named John Stockwell, and he told me that that his fellow CIA officers during the Vietnam War were transporting loads of heroin from Vietnam to the United States.
Brian BeckerHOST
There were mass demonstrations, the Ali visit.
Brian BeckerHOST
Ramsey Clark went to Iraq.
Brian BeckerHOST
He documented, you know, all the impact the war might have if economic sanctions were to continue, and of course, they became sort of slow-motion genocide.
Brian BeckerHOST
So Iraq became a big focus in 1990, 1991, and there was what was called the First Gulf War.

Because he had sent the police, the governor drew the protesters' anger, much of it in letters to his office.

On June 17th, the Supreme Court went further.

Joseph Lee Jones had sued a developer in St. Louis County in 1965 after it refused to sell him a house because he was black.

speaker_1NARRATOR
The court held that a law passed in 1866 barred all racial discrimination, private as well as public, in the sale or rental of property.
