Just Say Whoah! Nixon's War On Blacks


"You want to know what this is really all about? The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the anti-war left and black people. You understand what I'm saying?"
`
John Ehrlichman
Aide to President Richard M. Nixon
`
Yeah, we understand, Johnny; all too well.
`
Ehrlichman
In the forty-two years since Dick Nixon resigned from the presidency in complete and utter disgrace, his apologists have held up the hope that, with the passing of the decades, historians would begin to revision him. Delivering the eulogy at his funeral in May of 1994, President Bill Clinton declared that the time had come to judge Nixon by his entire career, not merely through the jagged prism  of the Watergate scandal. Indeed, we no longer view Nixon through the same lens with which we viewed him on August 9, 1974, the day he was sent packing. That's the good news. Are you ready for the bad? It was worse than any of us ever imagined in our wildest, most demented dreams. As more and more tapes and hidden memoirs are made public, it becomes clearer with the passing of each year: This was one despicably evil son-of-a-bitch.
`
This undeniable fact was brought home to me, yet again, when I scanned the front page of Wednesday's New York Daily News:
`
NIXON ADMINISTATION INVENTED ANTI-DRUG CAMPAIGN TO TARGET MINORITIES
`
The so-called "war on drugs" was nothing more than a pogrom developed for no other reason than to persecute African Americans and the counter-culture. Now that we know the motivation behind the "war", do you think this might be as good a time as any to end it? I'm just putting the thought out there.

Ehrlichman, who died in 1999, was interviewed five years earlier by writer, Dan Baum, for a book called, "Smoke and Mirrors: The War on Drugs and the Politics of Failure". At the time, Mr. Baum thought that this little  bombshell was not pertinent to his thesis, and, for reasons known only to him,  he inexplicably chose to delete it from the manuscript. Nixon's handmaidens  are, at the moment, beside themselves in a desperate attempt to explain away this major - and quite scandalous - revelation. Their spin is that this is merely a case of rancid grapes, that poor old Johnny never forgave the Trickster for not granting him full and unconditional pardon  (he would serve eighteen months in prison for his crimes). Ehrlichman was usually pretty candid about his role in the Nixon administration. He kindly elaborated further:

"We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be against the war - or black - but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana, and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities....Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did,"

Nice.

None of this has surprised me a bit. Anyone possessing even a cursory knowledge of the life of the old bastard knows full well that, in addition to Jews and "lefties", Dick Nixon had a serious problem with minorities in general and black people in particular.

During the campaign of '68, Southern resentment toward Lyndon Johnson and the Democrats was festering. For over a century Dixie had been solidly Democratic. They just couldn't bring themselves to ally with the party of "that bearded bastard that  freed our slaves". That all changed when LBJ signed into law the Civil Rights Act of 1964, followed by the Voting Rights act of 1965.  The hostility of the Dixiecrats gave Nixon the political opportunity of the millennium. He and his henchmen cooked-up what came to be known as "the Southern Strategy".

In the aftermath of the nationwide urban riots following the assassination of Martin Luther King, Nixon let it be known, in a not-too-subtle way, that "law 'n' order" would be the order of the day in his administration, and that the good, God-fearin' folks south of the Mason-Dixon line would no longer be jolted by uprisings from these filthy, ill-mannered negroes - forget the fact that the riots were almost exclusively limited to Northern cities.

The scam worked. "The Solid South" has been solidly Republican ever since. Don'cha just love politics? I do. I really do!

I've read enough biographies of Richard Milhous Nixon to know that he was a really smart guy - one of the smartest men to hold that office in the twentieth century. Even his most ardent detractors concede that he wasn't stupid - arrogant, yes - but very intelligent. I also know that he was psychologically unbalanced and that he never should have gotten within ten feet of the Oval Office. To think that for over four decades, generations of Americans, most of them African American  or Hispanic, have suffered needlessly under our insanely punitive drug laws for no other reason than Dick Nixon's desire to score some cheap political points and win re-election in 1972.  It defies any and all senses of human decency. We need to stop apologizing for this vile, contemptible bigot.  

When Harry S Truman's presidency expired on January 20, 1953, his popularity among the American electorate was lower than any chief-executive in modern American history.  It was even lower than George W. Bush's rating when he left the White House (which is an achievement in itself when  you think about it). By that time, the right wing SCREAM MACHINE, in the person of Senator Joseph R. McCarthy, was just finding its voice. Posterity's judgment has been kinder to Harry than his contemporaries were. I'll never forget the final sentence of David McCullough's biography of the man:

"He stands like a rock in history."

The Trickster won't be one/tenth as lucky. He stands like a turd. Richard Milhous Nixon  needs to be consigned to history's dust bin - immediately.

I'll close this with a quote from the late Hunter Thompson, the most outspoken Nixon critic of them all:

“It is Nixon himself who represents that dark, venal and incurably violent side of the American character that almost every country in the world has learned to fear and despise. Our Barbie-doll president, with his Barbie-doll wife and his boxful of Barbie-doll children is also America's answer to the monstrous Mr. Hyde. He speaks for the Werewolf in us; the bully, the predatory shyster who turns into something unspeakable, full of claws and bleeding string-warts on nights when the moon comes too close…”

Perfect.

A very interesting political memoir to say the least. Ehrlichman was there at the scene of the crime, and is as candid as any insider ever was about the corruption of the Nixon Mob.

This is why it was sad that Ford pardoned Nixon. We never got to all the crimes Nixon did, but worse; it let Nixon people get off and infest our politics for decades. Example: Dick Cheney, Pat Buchanan, and many more.

Agreed, Tom.

Ford might have strangled the "Reagan Revolution" in its cradle. knowing how much he detested the man, he might have gladly done so. To history's eternal regret, he didn't. Pity.

Ford's pardoning of Nixon and Obama's "looking forward", instead of at the war-mongering lies and torture from the Bush Cartel are the two worst mistakes that sent the US down the path of darkness for decades to come.

Tom, I agree that Nixon was a very bad and corrupt man who never should have been president. That said, you have admitted that you are willing to vote for an equally corrupt and very bad woman for president if she gets the nomination from the Democrats. Smells like rank partisan hypocrisy to me.

As for Nixon's racism, it is indeed disgusting and vile. That said, so was LBJ's, but I guess he gets a pass for signing the voting rights act and more importantly, for being a Democrat.

God help us if we don't stop voting for evil people and putting party above country. And that goes for ALL Americans of every political affiliation.

Yep...she was so fired-up to get rid of tricky dicky that she decided to tricky dicky the tricky dicky. Who could blame her? But alas, a leading democrat saved her butt by firing her. She was trying to deny due process to Nixon...hence the outdo the tricky dicky. Now as a lawyer she should have known better but its Hilliary and not Bill...the latter it was said rivaled Nixon for smarts. Anyway, IF Hilliary would have filed her paperwork, it would have gotten her dis-barred and we would never have heard from Hilliary again. But alas a leading democrat fired her before that happened...saving Hilliary in all her...err....glory.

The Socialists running Connecticut are destroying it.

What Saul Alinsky rule will you apply to the following?

https://www.moodys.com/research/Moodys-assigns-Aa3-to-342-million-University-of-Connecticuts-GO--PR_903197597

Rating Action: Moody's assigns Aa3 to $342 million University of Connecticut's GO bonds; outlook negative
Global Credit Research - 21 Mar 2016

New York, March 21, 2016 -- Issue: General Obligation Bonds, 2016 Series A; Rating: Aa3; Rating Type: Underlying LT; Sale Amount: $300,000,000; Expected Sale Date: 04/04/2016; Rating Description: General Obligation;

Issue: General Obligation Bonds, 2016 Refunding Series A; Rating: Aa3; Rating Type: Underlying LT; Sale Amount: $42,000,000; Expected Sale Date: 04/04/2016; Rating Description: General Obligation;

Summary Rating Rationale

Moody's Investors Service has assigned a rating of Aa3 to the University of Connecticut's $300 million General Obligation Bonds 2016 Series A and $42 million General Obligation Bonds Refunding 2016 Series A. The university plans to sell the bonds the week of April 4.

The Aa3 rating is derived from the strong legal security provided by the state debt service commitment (pursuant to the UConn 2000 program) which is deemed appropriated in amounts sufficient to pay debt service from the State of Connecticut's general fund (general obligation bonds rated Aa3 with a negative outlook). Additional security is provided by the university's full faith and credit pledge of assured revenues, defined as tuition, fees, and other resources for repayment of the bonds.

Rating Outlook

The negative outlook reflects the recent weakening state demographics that have led to budgetary strain. While we expect the state to solve the budgetary gaps with recurring solutions, we believe that the weakening demographics will continue and place negative pressure on the state's economy and finances in the next few years, while the very high fixed costs reduce flexibility and present additional challenges.

“Harry” and Chuck both have a keen interest in Alinsky rules that nobody’s ever heard of. What a coincidence.

“Harry” and Chuck both seem to be thinking more about me instead of the topics of discussion. What a coincidence.

“Harry” and Chuck both decided to write about me instead of the topic. What a coincidence.

Harry Chuck says, “Connecticut under Socialist Rule is in a death spiral. Its credit rating has recently been downgraded (It’s been Aa3 for years) to one of the worst for a state. We are slowly "progressing" to becoming Greece.”

Greece? He means Louisiana. Aa3 happens to be the same rating as Republican Louisiana.

Socialist rule? LOL. Fascist Assholes love to lie.

Nasdaq says:

Aa3 is the fourth highest rating in Moody's Long-term Corporate Obligation Rating. Obligations rated Aa3 are judged to be of high quality and are subject to very low credit risk. Rating one notch higher is Aa2. Rating one notch lower is A1

Where did Moody’s say “Socialist Rule” has sent any state into a “death spiral”?

Nowhere. Harry Chuck is a Republican LIAR, and likely stalker. “Values”, amirite?

Chuck Morre: "Of course Family Man JG (named after the great Democrat slave owner, Thomas Jefferson, talk about white privilage!)..."

Nice try, but you've gotten it wrong again. Thomas Jefferson was a member of the Democratic-Republican Party, an American political party in the 1790s of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison formed in opposition to the centralizing policies of the Federalist party. It was essentially the forerunner to the later Republican Party. As I said, nice try.

But why would I expect you to know this? You can't possibly know because you're a follower. Remember? You're told what to know, and told what to believe.


"...still can't come to grips with his failure in social work ."

You've got me there! Not that I've ever worked in the field, but that you think I did. I haven't a clue what you're talking about. You're always grasping at straws, aren't you? Always...

I've referred to the "criminal Clinton family" on some very recent posts, on this blog, but never saw a retort, much less a questioning of why I wrote such a thing. There's ample evidence that Bill Clinton, during his years as governor of Arkansas, hobnobbed and vacationed with drug lord and Mexican banker Roberto Hernandez Ramirez at his lavish estate in Yucatan. Clinton's complicity with the international drug trade began about this time when one of the original investors in AIG's shell entity, Coral Re, was the Arkansas Development and Finance Authority (ADFA) which was created by then-governor Clinton to promote job creation in his state, but which is known to have laundered hundreds of millions of dollars of drug money during Reagan's Contra war against the Nicaraguan Sandinistas.

The story of the CIA's arms pipeline through the small town of Mena in western Arkansas is no secret and has been public knowledge for many years. Although this operation was only a small part of the broader Contra war effort, the Mena story continues to be political dynamite because of its direct linkage to Clinton and also George H.W. Bush. There were planeloads of arms going out from a secret airstrip north of Mena and cash coming in and airdropped in duffel bags at a ranch outside of Little Rock. Some of the cash originated from the sale of arms, but most of it came from the drug trade.

Clinton cronies and insiders laundered the dirty money through ADFA, whose legal work was handled by...surprise!...the Rose Law Firm, which employed Hillary Clinton. Ya' gotta love it...one big, happy, narcotrafficking family -- including slow and dimwitted Roger. Remember him? He was later convicted for cocaine possession and spent time in prison before being pardoned by his then-president half-brother on his last day in office.

So, Anonymous, yes -- Hillary Clinton definitely has ties to corruption at the very highest levels. If you want more of the same, sure, go ahead and cast your vote for her. It's your right. But is that what you really want?

 
At 8:15 AM, Blogger Jefferson's Guardian said...

Oh, Tom, you mentioned that if Hillary Clinton were the Democratic nominee, you'd "hold your nose" in the voting booth and go with the lesser of the two evils. Can I assume that's because you'd be snorting a line of the white stuff that she's undoubtedly helped millions to have access to all over the country? Are you sure she's the "lesser"?...or you're just trapped in the mindset of two political parties?

Shall I say, reluctantly..."cheers!"

Does this mean T Jefferson supported States rights?

"The party was strongest in the South and weakest in the Northeast. It demanded states' rights as expressed by the "Principles of 1798" articulated in the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions that would allow states to nullify a federal law.[4] Above all the party stood for the primacy of the yeoman farmers. Republicans were deeply committed to the principles of republicanism, which they feared were threatened by the supposed monarchical tendencies of the Hamiltonians/Federalists. The party came to power in 1801 with the election of Jefferson in the 1800 presidential election."

Chuck "Cameron Tucker" Morre: "Does this mean T Jefferson supported States rights?"

He advocated for the shared power between the national and local governments. He also was asked by Madison what he thought should be included in the Bill of Rights, and two that weren't -- which is tragic, considering the position we're in today -- are "no standing armies" and "no monopolies".


"...he was conservative, not a liberal?"

From today's perspective, neither. He was, by all accounts, a "Renaissance man", which would heavily discount any of today's conservatives. He even wrote the Jeffersonian Bible, which excluded -- among other things -- the miracles of Jesus. Certainly not something you'd associate with a "conservative". Don't you agree? ;-)

So tell me, Cam, what do you think of John Ehrlichman's revelations about Nixon? Was Nixon a hero to you? Is that why you're not answering?

"The so-called "war on drugs" was nothing more than a pogrom developed for no other reason than to persecute African Americans and the counter-culture."

Growing up living under the "War on Drugs", and seeing the devastation it caused to so many lives, not to mention the huge waste of resources, I always believed the people behind it were the one percent, who had a need for a steady stream of wage slaves and cubicle dwellers. The "War" kept these people in line with their nose to the grindstone every day, as well as providing a steady income stream to the prison industry.

More police... More jails... More judges... All to keep the worker bees chained to their desks.

You notice the "war", just like all other wars, never seemed to touch the wealthy. Think of a gathering of "Wall Street Wonders" doing a line of coke with their evening meal at a fancy restaurant. No one bothered such upstanding citizens. Not for them the police, judges, and jails that haunted the lower classes.

So now I find out that African Americans and hippies were the target. Oh well... the prison industry still prospered, and was able to deliver substantial kickbacks... oops, "Campaign Contributions" to our ruling class.

"Oh! What A Tangled Web We Weave When First We Practice To Deceive" ~~ Walter Scott (1808)

The Crimes of Mena offer a sobering reality to those who believe the Clinton political machine is above reproach.

From The Ozark Gazette in early 1992: "Suspecting that Governor Bill Clinton had reason to hide such state involvement, the Committee decided to go public. Up to this point the Committee had been treated fairly and on occasion, even praised by the local media. However, now that the Committee was pointing an accusing finger at the local hero, the media began to turn against the people who were asking for simple justice."

It would seem justice is blind.

Interestingly, Universal Pictures is distributing a firm about Barry Seal, appropriately titled, Mena, which is due to be released January 6, 2017 -- after the "election" of Hillary Rodham Clinton to the highest and most incorrigible office in the land, and just prior to her inauguration. Timely, huh?

Last year, Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of U.N.’s Framework Convention on Climate Change, made a similar statement.

“This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time, to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution,” she said in anticipation of last year’s Paris climate summit.

“This is probably the most difficult task we have ever given ourselves, which is to intentionally transform the economic development model for the first time in human history.”

The plan is to allow Third World countries to emit as much carbon dioxide as they wish — because, as Edenhofer said, “in order to get rich one has to burn coal, oil or gas” — while at the same time restricting emissions in advanced nations. This will, of course, choke economic growth in developed nations, but they deserve that fate as they “have basically expropriated the atmosphere of the world community,” he said.

Nice examples of Rule 5 by the two closet Marxist, Peek and Duyba.

"Climate policy has almost nothing to do anymore with environmental protection, says the German economist and IPCC official Ottmar Edenhofer. The next world climate summit in Cancun is actually an economy summit during which the distribution of the world’s resources will be negotiated."

But one must say clearly that we redistribute de facto the world’s wealth by climate policy. Obviously, the owners of coal and oil will not be enthusiastic about this. One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with environmental policy anymore, with problems such as deforestation or the ozone hole."
– Ottmar Edenhofer

Bernie is a product of the FDR Democratic social generation. The country was in such bad condition almost any political direction would have worked. And historical facts tell us FDR Democratic socialism worked. That doesn't mean another political strategy would have worked better, but Coolidge and the Republicans then, had nothing that worked. There is an old saying, "Every once in a while socialism has to step in to save capitalism." That's a reflection of the failures and excesses of capitalism to provide for all. FDR's programs should have been temporary, and the figures alone (on an ongoing future basis) should have told FDR his fix could only be temporary. Capitalism is not a guarantee of the Constitution, but only of a Democratic Republic. Capitalism and capitalists have to prove their superiority by providing for the masses. They failed in the 1920's and are failing again now. That's a failure of capitalism/capitalists to be flexible enough to meet the current economic conditions, not because capitalism is not a superior strategy to provide a better lifestyle than any other economic process.

I believe the effort to control the use, sale, and mfg of illegal drugs is proper but in the case of Nixon, if we can believe John Ehrlichman, as it was used by Nixon for the wrong reasons.

I do not believe it is healthy for a nation to increase the legal use of more behavior altering drugs or substances by it's population.

 
At 11:15 AM, Blogger Dave Dubya said...

I'm pleased that Chuckie will at least admit he supports the failed and wasteful war on drugs.

Proving he is indeed "fodder or clay in the hands of demagogues" whether drug war demagogues, or Iraq war demagogues, or any war demagogues apparently.

And questions arise surrounding these issues.

I do not believe it is healthy for a nation to increase the legal use of more behavior altering drugs or substances by it's population.

So he is opposed to the repeal of alcohol prohibition, or does he have double standards?

What about when alcohol was illegal? Was prohibition a success? Does he think the failed war on drugs is a success? If not, why continue it?

As he often scurrilously questioned, "If the war on poverty was successful, why do we still need it?"

Is it reasonable to then ask him, "If the war on drugs was successful, why do we still need it?"

He won't address these questions, of courese. The drug war, as with all wars, need unthinking followers.

Does he support imprisoning victim-less crimes of drug possession? Why should users of safer substances that alcohol and tobacco be criminalized?

Here's a twist. So this man who scorns corrections officers wants to pay more of them from his tax dollars to house and feed drug users in prison, but not for those who's jobs were offshored by multi-national corporations.

I see. Finding a rational person holding these beliefs is difficult. It is a belief system of followers, not thinkers.

This explains why racism, Trumpism, neocons, FOX, Limbaugh, corporate PR, and the Republican Party have continued their destructive effect on the US economy and foreign policy.

Chuck's "clarification" is rather contradictory. As he accuses me of "word twisting" he engages in nullification of definitions.

Isn't "the effort to control the use, sale, and mfg of illegal drugs" itself the war on drugs?

What exactly is "control", apart from actions by legislation and law enforcement?

Is there a secret difference only Chuck knows?

"I do not believe it is healthy for a nation to increase the legal use of more behavior altering drugs or substances by it's population."

Chuck is either pro or anti repeal of alcohol prohibition. This statement appears to be anti repeal of alcohol prohibition. (He exhibits the characteristics of a dry drunk authoritarian personality, not unlike his war hero and creator of ISIS, GW Bush.)

Actually, it's evidence that indicates it was an inside job. Unless, of course, you're one to believe that three buildings, on the same day, collapsed in free-fall due to divine intervention. Otherwise, and unless "Jesus did it", it couldn't have happened any other way.

Sounds awfully "anti-free market" to me! What would Adam Smith think?


"[It}is NOT in the best interest of nation to increase the 'legal use of MORE behavior altering drugs or substances by it's population.' "

So you agree, then, that the federal government should control the use, the manufacturing, and the sale of "behavior altering drugs or substances" by the population? As a conservative, wouldn't you agree that whatever is in the best interest of the individual, is collectively in the best interest of the nation?

By "substances", would you include alcohol in that category?

History has shown the more capitalism is de-regulated, the more socialism is needed for the victims. De-regulated capitalism utterly failed, and brought the Great Depression and Great Bush Recession.

The Republicans and Corpo-dems are working hard to prove this pattern correct yet again.

There is good reason the Constitution demands regulation of commerce and the general welfare.

But the enemies of democracy and the Constitution are wealthy and powerful.

Republicans and Corpo-dems allow Commerce (COC. Kochs, Oil, Wall Street, Pharma, etc.) to regulate our government for their corporate general welfare, over the health and well being of the people.

It is Inverted Totalitarianism.

Inverted totalitarianism is different from classical forms of totalitarianism. It does not find its expression in a demagogue or charismatic leader but in the faceless anonymity of the corporate state. Our inverted totalitarianism pays outward fealty to the facade of electoral politics, the Constitution, civil liberties, freedom of the press, the independence of the judiciary, and the iconography, traditions and language of American patriotism, but it has effectively seized all of the mechanisms of power to render the citizen impotent.

"What would Adam Smith think?" Since I dont think he would recognize today's' America, I think he would be a puzzled with the America liberals today are trying to create.

Why do you think it wasn't Jesus who caused it? After all, Jesus was capable of performing miracles, right?


"Since I dont think [Adam Smith] would recognize today's' America, I think he would be a puzzled with the America liberals today are trying to create."

Cam, why would Adam Smith be puzzled about a system that was created by capitalists and fascists, not liberals? Do you think Adam Smith would be puzzled by the oligarchy that we've become?


"My sexual orientation seems to be a major problem for you."

Cam, you're wrong. It's not a problem for me, at all. I'm a liberal, remember? Your sexual orientation is of no concern to me.
