Mr. John C. Raines kinda looks like Alexei Navalny ….. well this doc. sounds great. These stories from other corner of the world is really great to listen/watch. Courageous people who stood up for injustice are always admirable.
LOL. Fat chance; the FBI is the shark and we are the swimmers; its extremely difficult to challenge The FBI and the CIA and whatever other organizations exist unbeknownst to us.
You people did a great thing. What you did was right and just. Thank you
Eric Weinstein and Lex Fridman brought me here.
How did I never hear of this story??
Heroes. HEROES!
Unbelievably courages group of people!
Amazing documentary- I love you tube!
To send an anonymous letter to ML King, asking him to commit suicide shortly before he was awarded the Nobel peace prize..??!! I just can’t f…..g believe it…
Imagine what it's like now. I've heard of some things but I don't think people believe what they really do.
"Wreck the groups trying to wreck the country"? Sir, what you really mean "wreck the groups that were trying to change the white privilege status quo."
Today's the 51st anniversary of their noble and heroic deed.
In a better society, these heroes — Bill, John, Bonnie, Keith, Bob, Judi, and Ralph — would be memorialized and celebrated, and everyone would be exhorted to read Betty Medsger's outstanding chronicle, "The Burglary: The Discovery of J. Edgar Hoover's Secret FBI."
These people wouldn't have opposed the war if we had been bombing Nazis in Hanoi. They were/are actually Communists of one stripe or another. Fine. But at least admit it.
That being said, the FBI has shown itself to be an organization that has repeatedly flaunted the Bill of Rights. They've managed to alienate even Conservatives.
Also, I view the draft as un Constitutional. It is simply not a power afforded to Congress. Seems like it is a violation of the 9th, 13th and possibly the 10th and 14th Amendments.
J. Edgar Hoover was a hypocrite, a monster and a bully. I don't know how he was allowed to stay in office as long as he did?
These are a group of great Americans!
I wish I'd been angry at 20 or 21 like this
Where is the left skepticism of the FBI gone. Neo liberals have taken over the FBI and are using the exact same techniques Today against conservatives.
It's a damn shame, good people inside and out of government would have to risk anything…
other than excessive praise and gratitude after exposing such corruption
This is really interesting, but also kinda predictable. A lot of people are using this for evidence the fbi is still corrupt, saying people don't change. I get it but it's a funny statement as it's pretty unlikely anyone from the 70s is still with the fbi. Maybe one or two I suppose.
A great documentary into a corrupt government institution that’s shown time after time it cannot be trusted with power and should be dissolved.
Too bad your channel isn’t larger. Would love to see millions of views ans comments on this.
snuppy puppy says hi!
I highly recommend the YouTube video MARK PASSIO: CONTROLLED OPPOSITION

Congressman Rooney looks like a complete assclown!
My question is there anyone truly & utterly stupid enough to believe the FBI/NSA because of these brave freedom fighters stopped these disgusting activities? I'm VERY aware of they're surveillance and if I ever find positive proof of it I assure you my reaction is going to make national news for a few days. I'm not in your own words "…going anywhere". Cowards.
