I was at the big demonstration outside the Soviet Embassy protesting the KAL 007 shootdown. (The Soviets actually claimed that the flight number proved it was a spy plane.)
There were all sorts of reporters prowling around looking for aggressive quotes to use against us. One of them found me and asked what to do about the incident.
I said, “We should embargo them right down to their last drop of Pepsi Cola.”
Great story, thanks for sharing!
Here’s a video I found on YouTube:-
Around May of 1983, approximately 4 months before being shot down in KAL007, Congressman Larry McDonald takes on Pat Buchanan and Tom Braden on Crossfire as they badger him about his new role as Chairman of the John Birch Society. He easily handles them and answers questions concerning the Elite’s Conspiracy for a One World Government
