Going down a rabbit hole this morning, which started with Musk’s obvious anti-semitism and somehow jumped to the FIRE org wiki, where I saw that they made a film about Mighty Ira Glasser, ex-director of ACLU. In an interview with times of israel, Ira mentions a TV debate with William F. Buckley, whose name is familiar, as I lived in Boston for a long time, but wikipedia page is mostly medals awarded by the CIA. I see he was very active in the 60s and 70s before getting deheaded by hezbullah or whtaever.) In 72 he was in Cambodia, my current home country. Really currious about his mission, as I firmly believe that the destabilization of this country and the civil war and Pol Pot were all planned by the CIA, not to mention the bombing campaign. I might be wrong. Do you guys have some more info on this particular character, William F. Buckley?

edit: the debate might have been with WFB Jr., the jr. was omitted in the interview i read.
