John et la war on drugs[modifier le code]

Sur le Wikipedia anglais il y a ceci "although Nixon declared "drug abuse" to be public enemy number one in 1971,[43] the policies that his administration implemented as part of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970 were a continuation of drug prohibition policies in the U.S., which started in 1914.[41][44]


   The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either 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. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.
   — John Ehrlichman, to Dan Baum[45][46][47] for Harper's Magazine[48] in 1994, about President Richard Nixon's war on drugs, declared in 1971.[49]" et c'est sourcè. Je suis pas assez bon en anglais pour traduire, ni pour résumer, mais je trouverais intéressant que ça soit mis.

j'ajoute deux des sources initiales (les deux autres dans l'article anglais m'apparaissent inutil pour cet article, et une autre. https://edition.cnn.com/2016/03/23/politics/john-ehrlichman-richard-nixon-drug-war-blacks-hippie/index.html
