Topic: Voting Rights Act

He argues that every president since Harry Truman has likely known the basic truth of the ET presence, starting with the 1947 Roswell crash. Bassett highlights the unique challenge of this movement: unlike other social causes, the government denies that the subject of the activism even exists.

The guests examine modern methods of power suppression, including gerrymandering and the gentrification of neighborhoods like Harlem. They specifically focus on felony disenfranchisement, noting its rise in importance following the Voting Rights Act. By "felonizing" low-level drug possession, the system effectively locks large portions of the Black community out of the political process, preventing them from electing local officials like sheriffs or school board chairs.
