CAdverse is not as reliable as you believe and one quick example is his claim the 14th amendment has nothing to do with POTUS elections. I know it's a different subject but it speaks to people being overrated out of political affinities more than information. When you make such an obviously false claim, such as citing snow in Hawaii proves global warming is a myth, you are demonstrating a complete lack of respect for discussion.
Here is a link from the confession of a Nixon aide and while at first I was highly skeptical, considering the two decade old interview, it made perfect sense for how law enforcement engaged communities and the little discussed power of the government using the WOD to confiscate property and money from citizens who have never been convicted of a crime. The police actually have strategies on how to target people based on their likelihood of having cash, not drugs, then using the accusation of being a drug dealer to keep the money even when there is NO EVIDENCE.

The WOD has created endless Constitutional loopholes being used to oppress and suppress the public and this is exactly what the GWOT has given. Even though Obama declared the GWOT over, years ago, he will excuse our acts of murdering kids with drone strikes as collateral in the GWOT. Yep. The same one he said has ended.
Look at all the laws passed immediately following 9/11 and how they have been used to justify torture, secret prisons, international kidnapping, spying on Americans, invading and occupying nations that never attacked us, and sending drones whereever we want whenever we want under the guise of fighting "terrorism."
In a nutshell, the GWOT is designed to maintain our current economy built similar to a Ponzi Scheme and the only reason our currency has any value is because our military is being used mafia enforcers. Paper currency has to be backed up on actual physical goods because without collateral it has absolutely no value. The petrodollar has been used to replace the gold standard and a little discussed event surrounding the Iraq invasion is how Saddam changed currency on oil sales from the USD to the Euro. Within short order of the invasion and displacement of the entire Iraqi government we quietly switched the currency back to the USD.
If oil producing nations stopped trading based on the USD currency and switched to the Euro, or another currency, our economy would simply implode at light speed. This is a major reason why we are allies with SArabia knowing they are the world's largest financier of terrorism and knowing how they were ranked worse than Iraq on human rights abuses in 2003.
